"Take a breath. Take stock. Then take action.” - Sarah Nicole Nadler

The unthinkable just happened.

Modere (a brand many thought would be around forever) suddenly shut its doors. No warning. No heads up. No transition plan. Just poof—gone.

For thousands of women who built their network marketing business with Modere, this wasn’t just a brand closing. It’s the loss of income, structure, momentum, and for some, their entire financial foundation....and I'm seeing so much pain and shock from the women impacted by this decision in my community on social media.

As a financial advisor who works with women in entrepreneurship every day, I want to speak plainly:

This is a financial emergency.

If that’s you, here’s what you need to know...and what to do next.

Don’t Go Silent. Start Thinking Like An InvestHER.

If Modere was your only stream of income, hear me when I say: the time to grieve and process will come later. Right now? Your job is to recover what you can and begin rebuilding in a smarter, more secure way.

In the words of Leila Hormozi:

"F*ck your mood. Follow a plan."

And the plan should be this:

• Identify the assets you still have:

  Just because Modere shut down doesn’t mean you’re starting from scratch. You built a business—and with it, assets that can still be leveraged:

  • Your customer database

  • Your personal brand and reputation

  • Your team relationships and influence

  • Your sales skills and content library

• Shift from Fear of Lost Income to Asset Leverage.
  
  The Hustler mindset says: Find something new to sell. Or even, find a job.

  The InvestHER mindset says: Let’s leverage what you've already built to make this moment the launch of a new sustainable, diversified income.
  
  Ask yourself:

  • What do my customers still need?

  • What affiliate offers or digital products could I promote right now?

  • How can I turn my knowledge into income by pivoting fast into a new product/service that fills the gap left by Modere?

Maybe now is the time to launch your 1st online course or membership. Maybe you already saw the writing on the wall and have been thinking of a new health/wellness product you wanted to sell.

Make the move. You’ve got the work ethic. You’ve got the audience. You can do this 🫶

If You Were in Leadership, Remember: Your Team Is Watching Closely

If you held a leadership role with a team of distributors, listen up:

Right now, your team is looking to you.
How you respond will shape how they react.
This is your moment to either rise… or disappear.

The great news is that your team is an asset Modere did not own. YOU built those relationships, that trust and those communication channels. And with the right moves, they will follow you into whatever you do next.

Leadership in a moment like this doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means:

• Being honest and vulnerable about how this hit you

• Choosing to stay grounded, optimistic, and focused on solutions

• Giving your team direction—even if it’s just sharing what you’re doing next

Pro tip: Your next move doesn’t have to be fully formed to inspire confidence. But it does need to be visible. Your team wants to know what’s next—and many of them will follow you into it, so long as it aligns with the values and lifestyle they loved at Modere.

If you’re planning to leave network marketing entirely, make sure your new path still includes an affiliate opportunity or referral link. Give your team a way to earn alongside you, especially if they’re not ready to become entrepreneurs on their own.

A principle I lean heavily on when coaching my clients on ways to increase their profit margin is: audience feedback.

This applies to your team, as well as your existing database of customers.

Drop a poll.

Give your team a few quick options you’re considering (“Want me to launch a new clean beauty line? A health/wellness course? Find a new collagen brand to partner with?”)

Their responses will give you a clue on what to do next, and help them feel included in your pivot (making it more likely they'll follow you to the next thing!)

This isn’t just about your recovery.

It’s about showing up as the leader you’ve always been, and bringing others with you.

Need Capital to Pivot? Here’s How to Find It—Without Digging Yourself Into A Hole

Real talk: pivoting comes with a price tag.

Maybe you need to build a website.

Perhaps you’re investing in a course platform, inventory, or a new software subscription.

Or maybe you simply need a little working capital while you figure out your next move.

Here’s the truth: a lack of cash shouldn’t be the reason your momentum stops.

As a financial advisor, I want you to know there are smart, responsible ways to fund your pivot—without compromising your financial future. This is where you shift from scarcity thinking to strategic resourcefulness.

Here are a few practical options worth exploring:

• Crowdfunding (aka: Your Audience Loves You)
  Don’t underestimate the power of your community. Whether it's pre-selling your next product, launching a GoFundMe, or offering VIP spots in your next thing—people who believe in you want to help you rebuild.

• Leverage Collaboration Partnerships & Private Funding
  A strategy I teach in my book From Hustler To InvestHER is to build partnerships with strategic collaborators and private investors to find funding and build leverage. You have an audience, a team of distributors, and proven marketing methods. Ask yourself, "Who has what I need (funding), and needs what I have?" and then offer those people a collab, interest or equity in exchange for the funding you need.

• Grants for Women Entrepreneurs
  From government programs to private foundations, there are more grant opportunities than you think—especially for women of color, single mothers, or women in underserved areas.

• 0% Interest Credit Card Offers
  Many cards offer a 12–18 month promotional period. Used wisely (and paid off before the promo ends), this can buy you time without heavy interest penalties.

• Credit Union Microloans
  Community-based credit unions often offer personal or small business loans at lower rates than traditional banks. If you’ve maintained good banking history, you might qualify even without business income.

Opportunities to use resources that are not tied to your personal finances in order to start and fund your business are endless. Protect your credit and savings! Download my free guide to finding funding for your business.

Final Word: You Are Not Powerless.

You built something once. You can do it again—but this time, you’ll do it with more knowledge, more strategy, and more control.

You are NOT starting over from the beginning.

If you follow the guidelines I've laid out here, you will be starting your new venture miles ahead of wherever you were when you got your start at Modere.

Take a breath. Take stock. Then take action.
