Fans say Sister Wives star Meri Brown looked like she was counting on her popularity for success in her latest money-making adventure.

But some think Meri aimed too high for someone with celebrity status from a reality show. That’s because it appears there were few takers out there for what she recently had to offer.

Sister Wives: Food, Self-Discovery, and Hanging Out with Meri Brown

It seems all of Meri Brown’s uplifting messages that she frequently posts for fans might have given her an idea. It seems this Sister Wives bride has turned her into a self-help coach of some kind.

So, it appears that she put together a lifestyle coaching adventure and invited those folks from her fan base to sign up.

What she offered was her “Real Life Retreat”, which took place in Utah from November 17-20. Three fun-filled days with Meri Brown of Sister Wives fame was the draw. But fans say she priced herself out of the ballpark for her faithful followers.

First, Meri offered two levels of her Real Life Retreat to her fans. The retreat that took place last week was her “inaugural retreat”. Fans could expect an “incredible time” and they’d spend that time with “wonderful people.”

They can also expect to get to know themselves better, and while doing so, they’d eat “the most delicious food” and of course, get to hang out with the Sister Wives original matriarch,

Meri Priced Her Popularity Too High?

This was not billed as an event related in any way to her family’s popular TLC show. The first wife of Kody Brown made it clear that this is not a topic they’d be hearing about.

She also made it clear that this trip had nothing to do with her career as a sales rep for LuLaRoe. This adventure was all Meri Brown and not affiliated with either Sister Wives or LuLaRoe.

So, there were two levels of buy-in for her fans. First, the participants would need to pay for their own flights into either Salt Lake City or Vegas.

Each airport is about three hours away from her B&B. Once they land at the airport, they would need to either rent a car or pay for alternate transportation to Parowan, Utah. This is where Lizzie’s Heritage Inn is located.

For thousands of dollars, you were offered a long weekend with Meri Brown, the lower-priced fee of $4,500 got you accommodations in a luxury home near the B&B where you may need to share a room.

But for the VIP treatment, you needed to shell out $6,000 to $6,400, according to the latest report. That got you a room at Lizzie’s, plus extra time with the Sister Wives star who hosted this weekend.

So, from hiking to biking, along with some self-discovery exercises, the event took place. But a report says Meri couldn’t fill the pricey slots with fans. Instead, the pictures she posted on social media consisted of her LuLaRoe friends.

Sister Wives: New Life Coach Scrambles?

Fans scrutinized the people seen in photos with Meri Brown. They took these pictures during the weekend event. But the report indicates these folks weren’t fans.

No, instead they were all Meri’s friends from LuLaRoe. So, fans surmise Meri couldn’t get any of her Sister Wives fans to spend thousands of dollars for a three-day weekend.

So, they assume she invited her friends to fill up the space. Maybe as her guest or at a discounted price. So, it looks like this high-price weekend couldn’t get her $6K price tag slots filled. That’s a lot of money just so people can say they spent a weekend with the Sister Wives celebrity.

But Meri says the weekend was a success and a good time was had by all. But what she doesn’t let on is that she needed to scramble to fill her special weekend up with people.

As the report says, these fillers were Meri’s co-workers and friends. So, if this is the case, then it looks like Meri Brown hid the egg on her face.

If she plugged friends into those vacancies, as this report said, then this would allow her to claim it was a success, which is what some fans suggest this TLC star did,
