This weekend I’m heading to a partnered event — and I keep thinking about why I said yes to this path in the first place.Not because everything was perfect.Actually… the opposite.My last business partnership fell apart. Overnight I went from having steady income to realizing I had about three months to replace something I’d built over 11 years.I had to ask myself some real questions:👉🏽Do I want to work for someone else again?🚙💨Have a commute, fixed hours, and be under someone else’s thumb?✨Or do I trust myself enough to build something new — on my time, in my way, aligned with who I actually am?Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never been great at “the norm” or authority 😅And after experiencing the freedom of entrepreneurship, I knew one thing for sure:Even if I took a job, I’d still need to build something on the side — something that could grow into freedom again.So I did.I opened my boutique VA business, serving women-owned businesses I deeply respect.And alongside that, I said yes to a partnered business with a company that’s elevated, modern, and holistic — products I actually use, trust, and love.What started as a simple yes… became a small but mighty business with an incredible, collaborative team of women.Women helping women feel better.Women learning about hormones, energy, mood, and mental clarity — especially in midlife.Women building nest eggs, padding retirement, paying bills, college funds… and yes, treating themselves too.Here’s the truth...As much as I love the financial padding and perks, the positive ripple effect is a huge piece of what keeps me doing this work. If you’ve ever been curious about building something:✨ aligned✨ holistic✨ elevated✨ financially smart…follow along this weekend.And if you’re even a little curious, DM me “info” and I’ll share details — no pressure, just a conversation. by @meredithgnau_

What if you could pack a bag, fly to Italy 🇮🇹, and not worry about asking for time off — or losing a paycheck?What if you still got paid, got to travel with people you love, and never had to stress about your commute again?For nearly a decade, I was in the yoga hustle — racing from class to class, studio to studio, never really getting ahead, always running on empty.Eventually, I started noticing women online building wellness businesses differently — with more freedom, more ease.Tired of the grind, I reached out and learned how to partner with a parent brand to build a business I could run from home.That choice changed everything.Over 11 years, I built a multi-million dollar business and a life that felt free.Then last October… it all ended. Our partnership was dissolved. At 49, I had two choices: go back to something “traditional” — or bet on myself again.So I started over… rebuilding myself & my business.Now, just 7 months into this next chapter, I’m here in Italy on a sponsored trip, with a new company and a team of creative, driven, heart-led women — and I’ve never felt more aligned.Here’s the truth:I would’ve never left my old career on my own. But sometimes, when one door closes, it’s only because the next one leads exactly where you’re meant to go.And now that I’ve experienced this kind of freedom, fulfillment, and flow — I won’t gate-keep it.If you’re craving:✨ A flexible, purpose-driven business✨ A community of empowered women✨ Wellness products that actually work✨ A schedule you control…Our team is growing — and you’re invited.We’re backed by doctors, toxicologists, and hormone health experts. Everything we represent is pharmacopoeia-grade, third-party tested, and designed to detox, repair, and protect your body.DM me to learn how to Advocate with us, or 🔗 Use the “Partner” link in my bio🛍 Or simply explore my HG shop, linked in bio, to feel the vibeLet’s build your next chapter — on your terms. by @meredithgnau_

This is only my second business in network. My first showed me what’s possible- that you can transform yourself, your life, your career, and build a life you’ve always dreamed of. My second has shown me something just as powerful- That when you stay in integrity, you can do it again. We’ve all faced hardships. We’ve all lived through our hardest days.So why wouldn’t I go back to something I loved- something that changed my life? Yes my last business dissolved after 11 years.11. Years. I’ve never even held a job that long before.And let’s be honest- in today’s world, companies restructure, close doors, and lay people off long before the 11 year mark. If that happened to you, you’d polish up your résumé and find another job. Because business is business, and nothing in life is certain except the constant of change. So why would I write off an entire industry that gave me so much? Why would I blame ‘network marketing’ instead of recognizing that one company hit hard times in a changing economy? My first million was made in network.My second and third, also made in network. My fourth will be too. Not because of luck, but because I work in integrity. I serve my clients well. I help women grow, gain confidence and transform their health & their lives. Some take off, some get stuck, but every single one is always met with care, honesty and respect. I show up, return every call, support every teammate and make people feel seen and valued because they are. So why did I choose nwm again?Swipe and see. by @meredithgnau_

I air-boxed him from his chair, like a pro boxer- just like he taught me. High-fived him, but he hung on to my hand... and didn’t want to let go.That’s the thing about complicated relationships. They’re still relationships. And it still costs you something emotionally — no matter what.But here’s what I want you to know — and why I’m sharing this publicly:I had the gift of being able to go. Not because I’m rolling in money or have a trust fund (ha — far from it). But because years ago I made a decision to build a business on my own terms. One that gives me schedule flexibility, the freedom to work from anywhere, and income that doesn’t require me to clock in every single day. And when that partnership ended… I did it again. That gift showed up for me when I needed it most.And it’s available to you too.My business is rooted in wellness, self-care, & optimal health. Watching my parents age is a huge reason WHY I do this work so that I can live a healthy, joyful, free & abundant life.If you’re in a season where you’re craving more flexibility, a plan B, or just something that fills your cup AND your account — I’d genuinely love to talk & share what I do and how you can do it too.DM me. No pressure. Just a conversation. 📬💌 by @meredithgnau_

If you’re 35+ and quietly thinking… “Why doesn’t my skin, or my body, respond the way it used to?” — this is for you.You’ve tried it all, feel like you’re doing everything ‘right’, but still you’re in either one or all of these camps 👇🏽:~ your energy crashes mid-day (and nothing really fixes it) or brain fog is kicking your a$$~ you’re constantly bloated, despite eating veggies & being a health-maven 😫~ your skin feels drier, duller, aging & crepey, or more reactive than it used to~ you want to fall in love with a wellness or workout routine, but nothing is landing that sticks– and/or your body just feels… off, inflamed, or resistant to changeI’ve been there, I get it, and it’s incredibly frustrating.You’re not looking for a shot, a pill, another hyper-crusting, irritating skin topical, another heavy-lifting program, or a overall bandaid that’s temporary knowing your issues will return, persist, compound or get worse later, and you don’t want complicated—you just want something that’s natural, simple and that works.Something supportive and sustainable.Something that actually helps you feel like yourself again.These mid-life shifts are real, and yes they’re often linked to hormone changes, as well as gut and liver functionality & aging! Yes I said it. We age. Sh*t changes. We women need resources, tools & support without overwhelm. We have enough of that.What I’m doing isn’t a diet or a restriction plan, and it’s personalized whether you’re here for help w/ your skin, your energy, or your body.I’m opening ONLY 3 spots this month for women 35+ who:– have been curious about working with me– want a more guided, simple “plug & play” approach– and are ready to experience real shifts in how you feel using natural methods, hormone safe & EDC free products, and who want to work from the inside-out using food as medicine.I’ll be customizing your routine (skin + body support from the inside out) & walking you through it.Swipe the details in this carousel. This is for you if you want easy, effective, and supported—not overwhelming.I’m only taking 3 new clients for clients.Comment “RESET” or message me privately if you want details. by @meredithgnau_

Here’s what I know now. I almost didn’t let this happen. Because I’m the one who always just says “I’m fine.” The one who handles her thoughts and feelings privately. The one who doesn’t want to be a burden.But a year and a half ago, life reshuffled everything:my career, my routine, my sense of what came next. And instead of collapsing, I found out what I’d actually built. Not a title. Not a role. A community.Women who flew across the country. Who drove hours. Who baked from scratch and showed up without being asked twice. That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens because of years of showing up for each other and finally, finally being willing to receive it back.If you’re somewhere in the middle of your own reshuffling or new chapter, new city, new version of yourself, wondering what comes next…I want you to know that you’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from everything you’ve already lived.And if you’re craving a community of women who are building something real in wellness, in business, in life… we’re right here. And there’s always a seat for you.No matter your age or set back, I guarantee you’re just getting started.Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you believe the best is still ahead.And if you’re ready to build something DM me. Let’s talk. by @meredithgnau_

If you’re looking for proof that you can do ‘the thing’ that everyone says you can’t (or shouldn’t) do… you’re in the right place 👏🏽.A year & a half ago I chose to follow what I actually wanted, instead of what others felt was the right call for me. I started a new business from the ground floor with zero guarantees… and looking back, it was the best decision I could’ve made. 🙌🏽That one choice gave me the space to not only grow a partnered wellness business, but also launch my second business — a boutique VA business.My decision has taken me all over the globe… Amalfi Coast, Monopoli, Alberobello & Naples Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico…🌍✈️. And I built it all from home with high-quality wellness products, collaborations, preset resources, and without some big upfront monetary investment. Just trust, desire, and support. ✨I’m sharing this because so many of us feel a pull to find our ‘more’, but we get stuck in the dream or the uncertainty of starting something new.If that’s you — if you’re craving something new, if you know you’re meant for more — let this be your reminder that a year from now, you could be in a completely different place. This is my encouragement to you to go for it. You only live once as far as we know - so make it your best run!Yesterday I went LIVE w/ a few of my associates & friends who do the same work I do- and if you want to hear from inspiring women doing great things, I’d encourage a listen back. If you’re in a season of wanting more & hungry to hear how other women like you are becoming their own bosses and taking control of their lives & finances - beyond UGC, beyond a day job, beyond coaching, & beyond having a thousand affiliated links, comment “PARTNER” or send me a DM. And if you want the behind-the-scenes of what I did in year one so I never had to pick up a traditional day job, check out my IG stories today. Oh that’s right.. I didn’t post any today. Because you should be able to build an income that doesn’t rely on who sees your posts & social shares. 👀 by @meredithgnau_

I’m turning 50 in a few weeks, and instead of overcomplicating things and spending unnecessary money on every gimmick I’m being sold on the gram, I’m just focusing on what actually works.... and I wanted to invite you to do it with me.If you’re looking for a gentle reset, some accountability, or to hop on my energy bus this May- read on!When I was thinking about what I personally wanted to focus on this month, how i can improve and hit a new peak at 50, and what we can collectively do in my private wellness community for the month of May, I kept coming back to this idea that what’s helped me feel thriving in my health, my body, and even my skin at nearly 50 is SIMPLICITY.Simplicity in the food I eat, the workouts I do, the products I use, and the daily routine I keep. The reason I have the outcomes I have in my health, skin with my nervous system regulation is because across the board I KEEP IT SIMPLE (AND SUSTAINABLE).I personally focus on a few key things, and they are things I’d like to continue to improve right now: my fitness, my nutrition, and my skin… yes my skin.So I’m doing these 4 things for myself daily and want to challenge you this May to do them with me. Those 4 things are:1. Move my body daily (short fun workouts that help my body feel balanced, not inflamed) 2. Protein + Plants (at every meal)3. Daily Skin Care Routine (I treat my skin from the inside out using food as medicine, supplements & external topicals) 4. And Hydration (not only because it’s super important, but I’m sort of a camel if i don’t make this fun and intentional)That’s it. No extremes. No pressure. Just consistency.I’ll be sharing what I’m personally doing, using, what’s working for me, and simple tips around skin health, gut health, and how to use food as medicine with my Girl Gang in my online community & a bit here too. I’m truly excited to go all in this month ON ME!If you’re feeling like you need something simple like this and you want to take on this simple challenge with me, or join in w/ my accountability crew, comment GIRL GANG👇below & I’ll be in touch 😚. by @meredithgnau_

I’m learning that 50 is the reminder that life will pass you by if you don’t grab hold of it. Time is uncertain and limited. The right people will find you when you chase what’s aligned with your soul, and the work that’s meant for you will expand you again and again. Most of the things we stress about daily? Insignificant. What actually matters is chasing joy and protecting your peace.A few words I live by on swipes 1 and 6—and my favorite anti-aging secret at swipe 5. But stay for all of them. Tell me which resonate…And then tell me yours too in the comments. by @meredithgnau_

You’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just being told the wrong story.Today, I was on a Zoom with a team of marketing professionals in their mid-20s. They were talking about how normalized it is now to be pushed to get Botox at 25 “for prevention,” and how feeds push facelifts under 30. That’s not okay. It’s a ‘way-to-early’ bandaid & it’s not teaching how to optimize the body and address root causes.Myself and my dear friends are aging gracefully because we follow the practices I teach. We keep our wellness and beauty routines simple and clean, focusing on optimization, prevention, & holistic health. For the past 25 years, I’ve learned that while yes—clean products and EDC-lite living are incredibly important— our overall lifestyle choices matter more than any SINGLE product or action we make. But here’s the thing: we can’t make the right choices if we’re only partly informed, or if our “knowledge” comes from the loudest, most polarizing social media voices. Because let’s be real—that’s how heads turn and how products get sold, but it’s not how bodies thrive.So how about another approach? One that’s softer, simpler, effective, and doesn’t have you breaking the bank trying 30 different balms or trendy “30-day fixes.”Join me for a FREE book club this April where we learn together! We’ll explore Metabolism Repair for Women, diving into metabolism, blood sugar, gut, and hormone health—a space to gain clarity, swap tips, and feel supported instead of alone.Comment BOOK CLUB below and I’ll send you what we’re doing so you can join in. by @meredithgnau_
