Business Collapse to Comeback: Nicky Rempel on Faith, Marriage, and Rebuilding From Zero

In this episode, Krystal Blackard sits down with Nicky Rempel for a raw conversation about what happens when success collapses—and what it really takes to rebuild from the ground up.

After years of building in network marketing, a perfect storm hit: business instability, a serious family health crisis, and a marriage under intense pressure. Nicky shares what it looked like to lose her footing, fight for restoration, and ultimately experience the most peaceful and aligned business build of her career—this time with faith and priorities in the right place.

In this episode:

• What triggered Nicky’s “everything fell apart” season
• How she rebuilt after business disruption and personal trauma
• The marriage pressure few people talk about when roles flip
• Why her biggest build came through chaos—not clarity
• The practices that helped rebuild a new foundation

ABOUT THE GUEST: NICKY REMPEL

Nicky Rempel is a seasoned entrepreneur and network marketing leader with over a decade of experience in the social selling space. A Canadian entrepreneur, wife of 31 years, and mom of three adult daughters, Nicky built her success through grit, relationship-first leadership, and a faith journey that reshaped everything she thought she wanted. With no formal education or traditional job history, she entered network marketing to relieve financial pressure at home—rising from “unknown” to elite earner, crossing her first million within 21 months and generating $80K–$100K months at her peak.

Over 12+ years, Nicky built across multiple companies and industries, earning $4–$5M while learning lessons many skip: stewardship, integrity, and how quickly success can become an idol if God isn’t first. She’s walked through business pressure, family strain, public scrutiny, and even a lawsuit—and emerged without resentment and without avoiding responsibility.

Her story isn’t defined by one company or one season. After business disruption, personal loss, and a near-collapse of her marriage, Nicky rebuilt—this time with faith, clarity, and alignment at the center.

Today, she leads one of her strongest and most peaceful builds to date, proving success doesn’t have to cost your marriage, faith, or identity. Known for integrity-first leadership and honest conversations, her message is clear: your money can grow, but your character has to grow faster. Sometimes the second build is the one that lasts.
