I met Jen Oldham, my upline, on Facebook.
We had a lot of mutual friends, she friended me,
and basically said,
"Hey, we have a lot in common, I love people who are into
holistic health, I'd love to connect."
And we just connected, and within a couple of months
she reached out to me because she had seen a few of my posts.
And she said, "Hey, I see that you are using this brand of essential oils.
If you like that brand, you'll love doTERRA."
And I was like, "Really?"
She basically started talking about all of the uses,
and I was really intrigued, and she said,
"Well if you like, I'm going to be down in Boise,
I could come teach a class for you, if you want to host,
I'll give you some free oils."
And I said, "I'm all for that, but you can't talk about the business."
I learned so much about essential oils and what they are.
Literally, it was jaw-dropping for me, the things I was learning
about essential oils.
And by the end of the class, I just told her,
"I am doing this as a business." She didn't even have to ask me.

Very shortly after I was introduced to essential oils,
my husband left me.
And it was really, really traumatic for me.
Very traumatic. It never occurred to me that I would get divorced.
I didn't let that stop me. I knew that I wanted to be home with my kids,
and so I worked really hard, tirelessly, to hit rank
so that I wouldn't have to go out and get a job.
By the time I was a Gold, I had met my now-husband,
Walter. And when I met him,
he was very closed off to the oils.
I was a little stand-off-ish on the oils at first,
and as she explained to me what they did,
I was very skeptical and a non-believer in how they actually work.
I remember one night, I had these huge walls, emotional walls,
and she kind of got tired of those emotional walls.
She says, "Come here, I'm going to slather some oils all over you."
I'm like, "Okay, I surrender. Go for it."
And the next day, he was a completely different person.
He was open, he was fun, he had a personality.
I said, "Oh you're not just a pretty face, you actually have a personality."
And so up until then, I was just dating him for his looks, okay?
No, I'm kidding.
He was a man of integrity, and I knew that.
But, just to see this personality open up, and to see him be fun,
and to see him be relaxed and open.
I had a few other experiences with the oils,
as we were dating, and it really made a big impact on me
so I decided to really learn more about how the oils work.
Especially on the emotional side of oils.
I've loved the journey.

After I hit Diamond, we got married shortly after.
Within two months of hitting Diamond, we got married.
And when going for Blue Diamond, he was just an incredible support to me
Having somebody to just be the wind beneath my wings
and vice-versa.
(Music)
A lot of people ask, "How do you work the business together?"
We just have very, very separate roles.
You know, he pursues what he is passionate about
with health and wellness,
and I pursue what I'm passionate about.
And part of mine is managing a team.
And I hire assistants to do things,
I don't have Walter do assistant-type things for me.
He does his own thing, he helps connect relationships,
he sends people to my classes.
That's more of his role, and how he has supported me.
What's exciting for me right now is to see my builders
really come into their own element.
And just to see them thrive, and to see them take ownership
and lead their teams,
has probably been the most fun for me.
There's still mentoring that has to go on,
but just to see them come up with their own "ah-ha's"
and to see them really shine in their own element
has been really fulfilling for me.
You know, there was a time of sacrifice where
I was gone quite a bit, or at least gone teaching classes,
or that kind of thing. And now it's like,
"Oh, we can take a breather."
And my leaders are really taking off, and I'm still there
to mentor them, and I can have classes when I want.
But I can really be there.
The sacrifice paid off.
