Marla Meridith Food & Lifestyle Blogger
Marla Meridith's blog took her across the globe working with top chefs at exotic ski villages. How?
In this episode of Absolutely Mindset Podcast(now the Close The Deal .com Podcast), you'll learn how Marla's travel & lifestyle blog made that possible. However, it all started with a mommy blog to help her kids. Her mommy blog then turned into a food blog. Then the next moment is why her blog evolved yet again...
Fast forward a few years from her launch, Marla's food blog opened some more doors. During the recovery stages following the BP Oil Spill, the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board flew a dozen food bloggers to New Orleans to help share the fishermen's story with the world.
Marla was one of them. Their collective voices helped to save generations of fishing communities across South Louisiana in our time of crisis.
During our conversation, Marla reveals with specifics how she transitioned from a mommy blogger to a food blogger to lifestyle & travel blogger to a book author with multiple offers - all because of her blog.

Marla food blog started as a mom feeding her kids healthy foods.
That was just the start of her journey...she'll share the answer to the three questions above and much more.
At the end of the show she also shares her strategy for branding herself - that was a last minute thought she wanted to make certain she covered for you.
