I’m the kind of person that embraces opportunities, a yes person but – a while ago I was experiencing my own mental health turning point – it was a long time in the making TBH. I went back to work after becoming a mother for the first time. I was newly pregnant, with my now daughter, and my hormones were EVERYWHERE…
I had attempted staying at home with my son but I always felt I needed to be contributing to more (my go-go personality) i was volunteering and even had a side hustle in Safer Beauty, ditching the no-no’s
and then … I hired a health coach and left my job. YUPPPPP things unfolded quickly. But my Health Coach had my back she introduced me to essential oils to ground me, to support my mental health, and how to bring in consciousnesses into my day as a new mom. It all sparked a fire, especially the plant medicine
What was happening is I was being completely dismantled, as a new mom, stripped of my ego to care for myself, my growing baby and son.
About a year later, still dabbling into mindset, and wellness except this from an environmental perspective, I started sharing eco friendly cleaning products and it took me on this adventure of “ok I got this”. I grew a networking community to share and educate sustainable living…
Two years in, I had rehired my health coach to mentor me, I had already dabbled into conferences and trainings, by this time I was saying yes as a student! I knew that I wanted to explore health from the inside out and the outside in, I knew that everything was connected i just didn’t know HOW to explain it all! The Essential Oils, the Safer Beauty, my past with IBS and celiac, my mental health, my nutrition and the side bar of my oldest sons health!
The picture I’m painting for you is this, everything was happening in steps. I was moving closer to where i am today. Was it frustrating at times, heck yes! — I was learning about the health and wellness industry as a new mom and not only making my house a safe haven but I was learning how to network, build community and create a business routine.
