Balancing business and motherhood is no easy feat, but it’s a journey filled with profound insights and surprising rewards. Today I'm joined by the inspirational Meredith Noble, co-founder of Learn Grant Writing and mom. Her story is one of grit, grace, and growth as she manages a thriving seven-figure online membership while navigating early motherhood. From dealing with her husband’s frequent work absences to juggling nanny care and maintaining her own well-being, she provides a raw and relatable account of her daily challenges and triumphs.

Meredith is an Alaskan entrepreneur, community leader, and outdoor adventurer. Her bestselling book, How to Write a Grant: Become a Grant Writing Unicorn, has helped secure over $42 million in grants, with her students securing over $627 million. Meredith enjoys outdoor activities with her son Wylder and is building tiny houses and a lodge in remote Alaska for creative professionals seeking deep work and nature.
