Let’s just call it what it is:I get distracted easily.I forget things.I interrupt people when I’m excited.I lose steam halfway through the task.I say YES way too quickly.And if you want to torture me? Make me sit still and wait for something. Yeah... if someone handed...
(And Why It All Starts with Your Job) What if we’ve been asking the wrong question? For years, we’ve tried to fix burnout with better time management. We’ve addressed stress with yoga classes and bonus days off. We’ve added “self-care” to our to-do lists. But...
Why I'm offering 10 coaching sessions for only $500 in July! Something about summer makes you pause and think..."Is this really the life I want?" Maybe it’s the slower pace. Maybe it’s the extra sunlight. Or maybe it’s the quiet whisper in your heart saying: “It’s...

My husband was brought to me as a gift from the Universe. You see, after ending a broken 19-year marriage, I decided that I wanted to try again. I was still young enough (40-something) to experience all the joys of a really great relationship, and it was important for...
Have you ever wondered… “Are essential oils really safe?”“Are some brands better than others?”“What’s actually inside those bottles I’m using on myself and my kids?” I did too—until I learned the truth. And now I can’t not share it.I just finished watching an...
Let me ask you something that might feel a little too real… Have you been feeling "off" lately but can’t quite put your finger on it? Maybe you’re constantly exhausted, tossing and turning at night, or your gut just isn’t happy no matter what you eat. Maybe you feel...
Let me just say it: Selling in network marketing doesn’t have to feel gross. Yep. I said it. And I’ll say it again for the women in the back hiding behind their oils, supplements, and self-doubt… Selling can actually feel good. Natural. Even joyful. If you’ve ever...
Every New Year, I like to pause and reflect on my life. Is there anything I can do better? What’s working well, and where do I need to make adjustments? This year, with the topic of Health Care being so prominent in the United States, I decided to take a deeper look...

You know I’ve lived enough life to have seen my fair share of trials, tribulations, and plenty of worry. I used to think that worrying was my way of controlling a situation—or preparing for the worst. But here’s what I’ve learned after many years:Worrying never serves...
Years ago, I came across a phrase that I couldn’t quite grasp: “Love yourself first.” It sounded nice—almost poetic—but what did it really mean? Was I supposed to write myself poetry? Give myself awards? Sing sweet songs to myself? It felt a bit… confusing. But I...
When you hear the word wealth, what comes to mind? Stacks of cash? Fancy cars? A dream vacation? Or does it feel like something that’s just out of reach? Something for other people—but not for you? Here’s the thing: Wealth isn’t just about having lots of money. It’s...
Gratitude isn’t just a list in a journal. It isn’t just saying “thank you” when something goes your way. Gratitude is a posture. A way of being. A form of worship. In every faith tradition—across cultures and generations—there is this beautiful, universal thread:...
Here’s something that might sound a little radical at first:You were born to feel bliss. Not just once in a while, not just on vacation, and not only after checking off a long list of accomplishments. Bliss is your natural state. So… why don’t we feel that way all the...
Here’s something I’ve learned the hard way (and maybe you have, too): Doctors can be great at treating acute problems—but not always chronic ones. If you have a broken bone or a raging infection, modern medicine is amazing. But if you have fatigue that won’t quit,...

Let’s be honest: When life feels hard, the last thing you want to hear is, “Other people have it worse.” It can feel dismissive. Minimizing. Even shaming.And that’s not the kind of gratitude I believe in.Real gratitude doesn’t erase your pain.It simply invites you to...
We talk a lot about self-love (and for good reason), but sometimes the most powerful way to reconnect with yourself… is by showing up for someone else. Not in a “lose yourself” kind of way.Not to earn validation or prove your worth.But because love is meant to move....
What if we stopped asking,“How much money do I need to feel secure?”and started asking,“How much freedom do I want to give?” Because here’s a radical thought:Wealth isn’t just about what you accumulate.It’s about what you can offer. To the people you love.To the...
Let’s be real: Wellness can feel a little… overwhelming these days. One minute, it’s green juice. The next, it’s cold plunges and IV hydration therapy.It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of chasing trends—thinking we need to do more to feel better. But here’s the...
Let’s set the record straight: Bliss isn’t about pretending. It’s not about slapping a smile on your face when you’re falling apart inside.It’s not “good vibes only” or bypassing your very real, very valid feelings. Real bliss—the kind that lasts, the kind that...
Let me tell you something I wish someone had told me in my 20s: You can be grateful for what you have and still reach for more.You can dream of something bigger while still loving where your feet are planted today. In fact? That’s the sweet spot. Gratitude isn’t about...
Let’s be honest: most of us were never really taught how to have healthy relationships.We were taught to be nice. To keep the peace. To please. To perform. But not always how to honor ourselves within the “we.” And that, sweet soul, is the most important part. Because...
Let’s get something out of the way:Budgeting isn’t about restriction.It’s not a punishment for “being bad with money.”It’s not a boring spreadsheet you’ll never look at again. At its core, budgeting is actually really simple—It’s just decision-making… with a little...

Let’s be honest—some days just feel meh.Your coffee’s lukewarm, your to-do list is overwhelming, your vibe is somewhere between “blah” and “can I just hide under a blanket?” I get it. I’ve had those seasons too.And I used to think I had to wait until life felt good to...
When I was younger, I thought self-love was something... extra.Like a bubble bath. Or a vacation. Or a fancy face mask from that one aisle in Target that smells like a dream. But here’s what I’ve learned—after raising kids, building businesses, breaking down (and...
Let’s have some real talk.If you were a business, would you be profitable? I know, it’s kind of a bold question. But stick with me—because this one shift in thinking changed the way I relate to money forever. In a previous blog, we talked about tracking your net worth...

Let me say this loud for the overthinkers, the perfectionists, the “once-I-have-it-all-together” crowd:You don’t have to wait until life is perfect to feel good.You are allowed to be happy—even when it’s messy. I used to think I needed to earn my bliss. That I had to...
I was 35 when everything looked fine on the outside...but inside, I was melting. I had checked all the “shoulds” off the list.✔️ Job.✔️ House.✔️ Relationship. And still—I woke up with a pit in my stomach.Was this what adulthood was supposed to feel like?Was I broken...
I used to think setting boundaries meant I was being mean.Or selfish. Or “too much.”Now I know the truth: boundaries are beautiful. They’re not walls to shut people out.They’re bridges that teach people how to love you well.And in your 20s? Boundaries are one of the...
When I was in my 20s, I avoided money like it was a spider in the shower. I figured if I didn’t look at it too closely, it wouldn’t stress me out. Spoiler alert: it still did.So I swiped the card. I crossed my fingers. I told myself I'd “figure it out later.” Then one...
Let me tell you a little secret:You don’t need to be a gourmet chef to be good in the kitchen. You just need to get a little scrappy… and trust yourself. I call it improvisational cooking—the magical art of making a meal with what you’ve got, without a recipe, and...
Let me tell you a little secret: You're already a leader. Yep, even if you don’t manage a team (yet), run your own business (yet), or feel like you have all the answers (no one does, by the way). Because leadership begins with ONE… and that one is you. If you can...
Leadership is a funny thing. It’s not about being the loudest in the room or having the perfect plan—it’s about showing up, staying aligned, and loving people well. Over the years of growing my dōTERRA business and coaching others through their own wellness and...
