Nicky Rempel’s Comeback Story: When Success Pays… But Costs More Than You Expected

There are episodes that are good content.

And then there are episodes that quietly wreck you—in the best way.

This one is the second kind.

This was our first-ever guest episode (and simulcast), and there’s a reason Nicky Rempel was the first woman we brought into this space. She’s not just a high achiever. She’s a faith-filled comeback story. And her journey hits a nerve for anyone who’s ever built something successful and still felt… off.

This episode isn’t just about network marketing. It’s about money, motherhood, identity, faith, and what happens when ambition runs faster than wisdom.

This Episode Was Made For you If you’re:

    •    a network marketer who’s plateaued

    •    a high-performing woman quietly burned out

    •    a faith-led entrepreneur questioning success at any cost

    •    a mom who’s been told, “Can you put your phone down?”

    •    someone making money but still feeling unsafe

This episode was made for you.

And yes, it also blows up the myth:

“You’ll never be successful again if you leave your company.”

Nicky’s Story (The Part Most People Don’t Talk About)

Nicky didn’t start with credentials, a polished resume, or a master plan. She was a stay-at-home mom who wanted to contribute, relieve stress, and help her family.

She joined a company for the product—not the business—and accidentally built a private Facebook group with real friends. That group turned into a million-dollar run in under two years.

But here’s the part most leaders skip.

The money came fast—and life expanded just as fast. Bigger house. Bigger commitments. Bigger pressure. And even at $80K–$100K months, money was going out as fast as it came in.

At the same time, her kids remember her on her phone.

Not because she didn’t love them.

Because she thought she was doing it for them.

When Money Replaces Trust

Nicky is honest about the slow fade—how money quietly became security, and security quietly replaced God.

Relationships shifted. Pressure hardened her. People became productivity.

And that’s where the cost showed up: in her health, her marriage, her peace.

This episode doesn’t shame that season. It tells the truth about it.

The Pivot That Changed Everything

Before diversification was trendy, Nicky diversified—quietly, discreetly, and with integrity. She built additional income streams without blasting them publicly or destabilizing her team.

And when she eventually walked away from a major paycheck, she faced consequences most people never talk about—including a lawsuit.

Instead of becoming bitter, she chose forgiveness.

That choice changed her life.

Why You Need Part 2

This episode is the setup.

Part 2 goes deeper—marriage, rebuilding, surrender, and what happens when God stops being an afterthought and becomes the foundation again.

If you’ve ever:

    •    built success and still felt empty

    •    feared slowing down would cost you everything

    •    wondered if your ambition is aligned with your faith

You need this conversation.
