Today we’d like to introduce you to Molly Meek.
Hi Molly, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I spent 16 years in the beauty industry. Owned a salon, trained other stylists, built a whole identity around being the person who held everyone else together. And I was good at it. But I was also burnt out in a way I didn’t have language for yet. I was regulating everyone in my chair and falling apart everywhere else.
Somewhere in there I started learning about the nervous system, not as a buzzword, but as the actual missing piece. Why I crashed after busy seasons. Why “self-care” never fixed anything. Why I could give calm to a room full of clients and have none left for myself.
That’s what became Seven Society. Not fitness, not another wellness trend, just teaching women what I wish someone had taught me: that being regulated is actually the flex. That’s the whole tagline. Regulated is the new rich.
Now I’m doing mat Pilates, coaching, building, writing my book, hosting these IRL pop-ups on The Offline Tour across the midwest, where women just show up and exist together for two hours. It’s not glamorous. Some days it’s just me, my kid, and a deadline. But it’s mine, and it’s built on something true instead of something performed, which is more than I can say for the first chapter of my career.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Honestly, no. The beauty industry gave me my first lesson in hard, but leaving it was harder.
Sixteen years in, I’d built something real, a salon, a client base, an identity. I moved across state lines for love, taking my daughter with me, and leaving behind every friend and client relationship I’d built over almost two decades. That alone was disorienting enough, starting over somewhere new with none of the credibility I’d spent years earning.
Then I lost my dad. And it was in that grief, somewhere in the middle of it, that I made the decision to close my salons and retire from the beauty industry completely. That wasn’t a calculated business move. It was grief stripping away everything that didn’t matter anymore and being brutally honest about what I actually wanted the rest of my life to look like.
I think that’s exactly why I understand regulation the way I do now. I wasn’t theorizing about nervous system work from a place of comfort. I was learning it in real time, grieving my father, rebuilding my daughter’s entire world, and trying to build something sustainable instead of something that just looked impressive. Seven Society didn’t come from having it figured out. It came from needing to figure it out, fast, with no safety net.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Seven Society is a women’s wellness lounge built around one core idea: nervous system regulation.
Not hustle culture wellness, not another fitness trend. The tagline says it best, regulated is the new rich. Because once you actually regulate your nervous system, everything else, your relationships, your work, your ability to show up as a mom, gets easier without forcing it.
I work with women through 1:1 coaching, a mastermind called The Seven, and digital resources that meet women wherever they’re at financially and emotionally. This year I launched Grounded, an on demand mat Pilates membership that’s really regulation work disguised as movement. Every class is built around the idea that your body needs to feel safe before your mind can settle, so it’s slow, intentional, and journal prompted, not just another workout to check off a list.
What sets me apart is that I’m not teaching this from theory. I spent 16 years in the beauty industry watching women, myself included, run on empty and call it dedication. I left that life, moved states, lost my father, and rebuilt everything from nothing. So when I talk about regulation, I’m not selling a concept. I’m teaching what actually got me through the hardest years of my life.
What I’m most proud of brand wise is that Seven Society never feels performed. Everything I create, from The Private to Grounded to The Offline Tour, comes from real life, not a content calendar pretending to be real life. I want readers to know this isn’t about becoming a calmer, more palatable version of yourself for everyone else. It’s about learning to regulate so you can actually be yourself, fully, without apologizing for it.
How do you think about happiness?
My daughter, hands down. She’s the reason any of this matters. Watching her grow up with a mom who’s regulated instead of running on empty, that’s the whole point of everything I built. I’m not just teaching women to find calm, I’m trying to be proof that it’s possible while raising a kid and rebuilding a life from scratch.
Beyond her, it’s the quiet stuff. A slow morning, Pilates before anyone needs anything from me, an iced latte, boat days like my dad and I used to enjoy. Laughing with my fiancé about something dumb at the end of a long day, the kind of laughing that actually resets you. 16 years of running on adrenaline in the beauty industry, I don’t take peace for granted anymore. It’s not boring to me. It’s the thing I fought hardest to get.
And honestly, watching other women have their own version of that, watching someone finish a Grounded class or leave The Offline Tour saying they feel different, lighter, more themselves, that makes me happy in a way client compliments never did.
Because this time it’s not performance. It’s real.
