When I first heard about the name “Megan” on Love Is Blind, I immediately thought: Is she the one who just shows up for the drama? But the deeper I dug into what Megan Walerius actually does, the more I realized her story isn’t just reality-TV fodder—it’s a layered personal journey about ambition, reinvention, and self-worth. So yes: what does Megan from Love Is Blind do? Let’s get into it.
From Oil & Gas to Wellness Entrepreneur
Back when I was fumbling through my first “real job,” feeling like I was paddling upstream in molasses, Megan was already transitioning across industries. At age 35, she’s branded in the pods as “Sparkle Megan” thanks to a penchant for all things glittery.
Before she appeared on Season 9 of Love Is Blind, she built a professional background in the oil and gas sector—yes, really—then shifted toward holistic health and wellness.
Today she’s founder of her own wellness-brand (named VEYDA) offering preventive-health services, virtual membership and in-person options.
Interesting fact: Many reality-TV profiles just say “entrepreneur,” but Megan’s shift from a demanding energy-industry job to leading a lifestyle brand shows risk, reflection, and a deliberate pivot. That’s worth noting.
Why Her Job Matters—Beyond the TV Show
I remember a time when I stayed in a job simply because “it paid,” even though my heart said “this isn’t you.” Megan’s story reflects the opposite: someone who said “this isn’t working for me anymore” and forged a new path.
Here’s why her role matters:
-
She’s carving out wellness in a time when many of us feel burnout, stress, and uncertainty.
-
She embodies what happens when you don’t settle: financial success + emotional intelligence = permission to expect more.
-
Her presence on Love Is Blind introduces the idea that alignment (values, career, self-worth) matters just as much as who you date.
This universal message transcends the USA—whether you’re in Cebu City or New York, the question remains: Are you doing what you want to do or settling for what’s easy?
What We Learn From Her Reality Show Journey
Sure, Megan’s job is impressive—but the show also highlighted real human stuff. For me, watching Megan’s arc was like seeing my own pattern mirrored: high standards, fear of repeating old mistakes, wrestle with vulnerability.
My mistake: I once rushed into a “safe” relationship because I thought “well, something is better than nothing.” Megan in the pods refused that. She said men were intimidated by her success and she wasn’t lowering her bar.
My lesson: Self-worth isn’t negotiable.
In the pods of Season 9, Megan connected first with Mike Brockway (familiar, comfortable) then with Jordan Keltner (unexpected, challenging). She chose the latter because she wanted growth—not just comfort.
That’s a lesson for all of us: growth often crawls in via discomfort. The comfortable path may not be the right one.
The 3-Day Experiment (for You)
Okay, I promised actionable advice so here it is—a little personal challenge you can try this week:
The 3-Day Experiment
-
Day 1: Write down everything you do for your job/career (or major role in your life). Then write down everything you want from your job/career—five items each.
-
Day 2: Identify one mismatch between do and want. Ask yourself: “What’s stopping me from shifting this?”
-
Day 3: Take one small actionable step toward closing that gap—for instance: schedule a 30-minute info-interview, research a certification, update your LinkedIn, reach out to someone in your desired field.
Do it for you. No “should’s,” no comparisons. Just honest self-work.
Cultural & Global Takeaways
While Megan’s story is rooted in a U.S. reality-tv context (the show is on Netflix and shot in Denver) it resonates globally. Here are a few takeaways:
-
Identity beyond one role: Whether you’re “the doctor,” “the teacher,” “the daughter,” define yourself outside that. Megan went from oil & gas to wellness.
-
Standards matter: She didn’t settle for what “looks good.” This is true anywhere in the world.
-
Pivoting is possible: Career shifts, life shifts—they aren’t reserved for twenty-somethings. Even in later stages you can choose.
-
Vulnerability wins trust: On the show, Megan let down guard, had tears, admitted “this isn’t easy”—that’s the human part we all connect with.
