They say that becoming a mother is a defining point in the life of a woman. This certainly was very true about me! From the moment I became a mum my entire focus was on the little life that was growing in front of my eyes. “Is this the right thing to do? What if I make a mistake? I want to care for my child’s health properly… ” were some of the thoughts that kept coming to me. Motherhood put me on the path of a truly remarkable journey to self discovery through holistic natural healthcare to a totally new view of us humans as spiritual beings.
I wanted to stay home and be a mum but I had to leave my baby at nursery in order to go to work. Life was difficult. Hard work, long hours spent teaching other people’s children how to speak English. So I started an MLM business to support my income. It didn’t work. I used the products for my family and myself and we had great benefits but I made no money out of it.
The leaders of this MLM company were all successful and smiling doctors with huge patient following so who was I to compete with them?! I was not medically trained so I could not repeat what they did in this business. Furthermore, I did not have many friends as I had recently moved to this town. My family was making jokes about my meticulous use of the supplements and I had to constantly explain why nutrition was so important.
Very soon it became obvious that this MLM company was not going to do much for me financially. The teaching job was only paying a small salary and I desperately wanted to have a bit more financial freedom such as being able to afford a new (second-hand) car or a better flat. I kept looking…and life continued to be difficult. Looking back, it’s obvious how my programs of limitation and scarcity were the reason for all my financial and other struggles…
Twenty odd years later, I had gradually forgotten that my desires existed. I was a mum entirely devoted to her family. Homeopathy, reiki, energy healing and herbal medicine were my ways of dealing with ailments. I identified myself with being a wife and a home-maker who kept the house clean, the children well looked-after and well-behaved, delicious dinner cooked from scratch every day and all the other trimmings that come with a model super-woman who looks after the others but not herself.
This is when the unthinkable happened - my marriage broke down…
I found myself in the deepest darkness of my life... Financial survival was my biggest demon. A single parent with a single income, half of which paid on the rent, no wonder I reached rock bottom. I wanted to die… But I had my children to look after…
Becoming a mother is a defining moment in a woman’s life, they say. So is divorce, I say.
Through the pain of a broken heart, through the doubts and fears, through the confusion and limiting beliefs of worthlessness, hopelessness, lack of confidence and all the rest, some glimmers of hope twinkled occasionally, increasingly, in my darkness-dominated existence. Through holistic practices I did survive to tell this story today and once I picked myself up after lots of intensive mindset work, life started to look bright again. I began paying attention to my own desires, my wishes and I experienced for the first time what it felt like to truly love myself, unconditionally.
Money blocks were being released as well so space was created for new opportunities to appear… This is when doTERRA came into my life, attracted by my love for holistic natural health support. I welcomed it open-heartedly and it brought me a financial opportunity beyond compare!
I have been using doTERRA oils and supplements (as well as I get paid for sharing my experience) for nearly 3 years now and still get amazed at how quickly these oils support my health and the health of my loved ones.
The most amazing transformation so far has been on emotional level. Because of the essential oils I have been able to forgive, to move on, to delete the left-over traces of resentment, to let go of worry, to transform anxiety, release anger and to fill my soul with light, to embrace freedom and to live fully. My next goal is to leave my teaching job and to focus entirely on helping people achieve the same transformation in their life by spreading the knowledge about these amazing doTERRA oils and the business opportunity that they carry.
It is possible to heal the world, with the right tools, one drop at a time! If you are someone like me, or if my story resonates with you, I'd love to get in touch.
