Welcome…
As I FINALLY pull the trigger on writing this blog to use as a source to solidify my healing, I hope you enjoy your time here, resonate with my story, share similar passions, pick up some valuable tidbits of information from my experiences, lessons and knowledge and feel like you have made a new sister in arms.
History in a nutshell…
I am a child of the 70’s, raised by a single mom in Michigan with my younger sister and put myself through college. I married and started a family while still in school, immediately falling into the roll of stay at home mom, which I absolutely loved and felt very fortunate to experience while raising my 3 very active boys. With the exception of moving to London for three years, I lived a typical suburban mom life in the midwest until death by a thousand cuts led me to the decision to end my marriage the day after our 25th wedding anniversary. I began the divorce process and empty nested within the same year which was quite a blow since I had lost myself into my family over the decades and struggled with a sense of identity outside of them. So I spent months working on myself and came to the conclusion I needed a fresh start, packed up and moved to Southern California not knowing anyone in the area and am now on the journey of learning to live an empowered life.
My essential life…
One of the most valuable sources of strength I drew from aside from the many shoulders of friends and family who listened to me incessantly with open ears, arms and hearts, is discovering the benefits of essential oils which lead me to finding the amazing company, doTERRA. I was immediately hooked, wanted to learn as much as possible about the oils, and the bonus I was not expecting was the personal development that I was opened up to by the genuine caring of their leaders. They have provided me with so many blessings from giving me power over the issues I had been dealing with physically, supporting me emotionally in my weakest moments, encouraging me to live a healthier lifestyle and giving me hope and an avenue to set a goal of financial freedom. After spending 25 years caring for my family but having that dynamic change so drastically, I now get to shift my focus and share that caring to all kinds of people who are also looking for empowerment through natural solutions.
From mother to mentor…
By taking on the challenge of building my own businesses while enjoying personal flexibility, I am pulled out of my comfort zone, challenged in new and exciting ways and get incredible satisfaction by helping more people than I ever dreamed. So instead of lamenting the growth of my little ones into adulthood, this mama bear just widened my den to welcome in anyone in who would like my care, guidance and mentoring. Please drop me a note, I would love the chance to get to know you better.
