There's been a definite shift happening within me. Two and a half years ago I began my essential oil business, decided to leave full time teaching to take on more flexible supply work, had the intention of fast growth and the clear goal of bringing @dewy1010 home on a pat leave when we eventually had a baby. I knew it was possible and it all came true and it was beautiful. I've always been so proud to have chosen this company to be my vehicle and I have always be passionate ...about sharing essential oils because I know they are an incredible tool from which so many people can benefit tremendously. But most of all my DRIVE to keep showing up has been centered around creating this beautiful freedom for my family. After becoming a mom and learning soo much about motherhood, holistic + conscious wellness and parenting, community + service, I can feel that drive beginning to shift towards supporting others. We are so blessed and I know my doterra business will continue to grow and thrive as I step towards this massive pull to serve others who are where I've been: parents + guardians looking for knowledge, guidance + support (when you lead from this place of service you actually manifest even more blessings into your life) And with that I am so excited to share the beautiful space that is launching November 1st, my Inspired Parenting community!!! It is my vision to posture myself as a curator of holistic parenting. I am by no means an expert in all things parenting, but I have a deep desire to learn, and I have built relationships with amazing women and men who ARE experts in their fields. This safe space will have guest speakers, honest conversations, relevant topics and provide a safe, judgement free space to explore holistic + conscious parenting topics. You can expect information on naturopathic health, essential oils, infant + child chiropractic care other alternative practices, nutrition, natural immunity, mindfulness, education and more If this sounds aligned for you follow the link and add yourself in, I can't wait to connect with you! https://www.facebook.com/groups/770718543277479/

Sweet boy you brought something out in me... I would say I'm a pretty easy going mama, I dont over worry or shelter my son...but being a mother has made me a learner. I just want to know more, why, why not? I'll spend hours watching the webinars or reading the articles to make sure I am informed. Without a doubt there is a new generation of parents. We have great respect for the way things were done before and the parents who raised us, but we take on the responsibility for k...nowing that what has always been, is not necessarily what is best for us. It's not neurotic or crazy to want to learn these things, its empowering. It happens without a sense of judgement towards the way others parent, but an ownership of what we choose for our littles. It cant be unlearned, although sometimes I wish it could. It was much easier before we chose to dig a little deeper. I promise you sweet boy that I will never be perfect, but I will always learn, explore and choose the best I can #motherhood #mama #wellness #learner #holistic #inspiredparenting #mom #knowledge #respect #judgementfreezone #empoweredmom #boymom #essentialoils #doterra

Today my husband went back to work after being home with me and the babes for the past 8 1/2 months. This was my vision when I started my business 2 1/2 years ago and we will be forever grateful for this time to grow into our little family Today was also the first day of my new normal, a new routine, new lessons...and it was actually so empowering. I've been making small shifts the past few weeks but here are a few pieces that are going to be non-negotiable moving forward: ...* make the bed. It's so simple but something I got real lazy about. The feeling of walking into a bedroom with a clear bed makes me feel so expansive (ps...the goal of life right now is to feel expansive ) * breakfast together because for the first time ever James has a job around the corner which means slow mornings are still on the agenda * big glass of water with the most powerful supplements before I put anything else on my body * a podcast in my ear during nap time. Finally putting those wireless headphones to use * a concise, manageable to-do list for life + biz to set me up for success and aligned action * removing distractions...this mornings podcast gave a great tip. Remove all social media apps from your home screen and instead move to the last page of apps...done * stay connected to people who are committed to growth + action Heres to day #mom #motherhood #mompreneur #athomemom #workingmom #entrepreneur #wellness #health #naturalsolutions #inspired #empowered #success #essentialoils #doterra

I've been finding myself getting stuck in stories about the things I cant get done these days, especially when it comes to my business. You see my top strengths are Ideation (I get alllll the ideas) and Activation (I like to get to work asap and accomplish the things on my list). Pre-baby that was a bit more feasible. I could pack up, set the meeting, schedule the event and experience instant gratification + success, with little regard for anyone else...but things have clearl...y changed in post baby world! For a few months I was feeling extremely limited by this. But this is what I've come to realize It's ok for things to look different now. The vision I have for a safe, non-judgemental, informed holistic community for parents may just have to be a virtual one rather than scheduling in person meet ups. That's ok, and maybe even better quite honestly.. My side passion project might evolve over a year rather than a month...meaning it will actually be done right rather than done quickly. I might have to limit the things I say yes to when deep down I know it's too much. I love saying yes lol, but I'm enforcing a new 24 hr rule before saying yes to anything. If I still think I can swing it after 24 hours it will go in the calendar, if not it will be a graceful, sorry I'd love to but that just doesn't look possible for me right now. I have to fall in love with the no’s. Different doesn't have to mean worse, or harder, just balanced. I can handle that #mom #motherhood #momtools #momboss #entrepreneur #mompreneur #truth #balance #essentialoils #doterra #wellness #emotions #postpartumwork #poatpartummom #honest #perspective #kindness
