Today we’d like to introduce you to Meagan Elieff Meghan Fialkoff.
Hi Meagan Elieff, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Meagan Elieff, Founder MDW: The Modern Day Wife was born out of a very personal season in my life back in 2018. Before it came to life, I had launched a company called Project You, which focused on personal development. But during that time, I found myself craving something deeper—a space where women could talk not only about personal growth but also about the real, everyday balance between marriage, career, motherhood, and ambition.
The defining moment came when I realized how many women—myself included—were trying to navigate all of these areas without having to sacrifice one for another. I wanted to create a community where we could celebrate being multifaceted, where success in business and fulfillment at home could coexist beautifully.
That vision became The Modern Day Wife: a global platform and community that empowers women to connect, collaborate, and grow while fully embracing every role they play—wife, mom, business owner, and everything in between.
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?
Meagan Elieff: It hasn’t always been a smooth road—but every season of growth has been a beautiful teacher. The Modern Day Wife was built through transitions: marriage, career pivots, and now motherhood. Each season came with its own set of challenges—learning to balance ambition with grace, deadlines with diaper changes, and business strategy with self-care.
There were moments that looked glamorous on the outside but required immense resilience behind the scenes. But that’s exactly what Modern Day Wife represents—women embracing every chapter, from the polished and poised to the perfectly imperfect. The road may not have been smooth, but it’s been purposeful, grounded in the belief that women can evolve through every season of life while still chasing their biggest dreams.
Meghan Fialkoff: The journey hasn’t always been smooth, but every season has shaped The Modern Day Wife into what it is today. From building a business and navigating relationships to stepping into motherhood, each chapter has brought unique lessons and growth.
There have been moments that demanded resilience, and moments that reminded me to pause and appreciate the beauty and glamour in everyday life. Through it all, the mission has remained the same: to create a space where women can embrace every part of themselves—wife, mother, entrepreneur, and beyond—without compromise.
The Modern Day Wife is for the woman learning to navigate life’s seasons with intention, grace, and authenticity, proving that it’s possible to evolve, achieve, and thrive in all the roles she holds.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
From the Megs: Absolutely—no journey is done alone. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have mentors, supporters, and a community of women who have championed both us and The Modern Day Wife from the very beginning.
Mentors offered guidance and perspective when we were figuring out how to scale the business while staying true to our vision. Our supporters—friends, family, and fellow entrepreneurs—have been my sounding board through every big decision and every late-night pivot. Advocates and collaborators helped amplify our mission, connecting us to the women who needed this community most. And, of course, our team has been integral in bringing the brand to life, managing everything from events to content with creativity and heart.
Every single person played a role in shaping the platform into a space where women can thrive in marriage, motherhood, career, and beyond. Their encouragement, wisdom, and belief made the vision of The Modern Day Wife possible.
