Education is at the heart of what i do…

As a former elementary educator, I see parts, and pieces and gaps… and I usually know how to break down and explain the things that help fill them in for others. I love a challenge, and I don’t quit easily. I will wrestle with a topic until I know I have a confident handle on it and can lead anyone through it successfully.

I’m an Enneagram 5

Which means my goal is always to understand and learn more, but I’ve spent a good part of my adult life on my growth path, overcoming personal limits, and learning new facets of myself. So some people could mistake me for an Enneagram 8 because I’ve picked up some confidence and boldness along the way once I stopped living from fear and letting insecurity be my motivation to learn. My driving force became a powerful love and appreciation for who I was created to be and seeing that same potential in others.

Because I love to learn

My hobbies always become more than an average hobby. Essential oils were something I stumbled upon in 2014. They weren’t quite mainstream yet, and I was thrilled to dive into all the unexplored science and even the unexplainable synergy of how they work with the body. I didn’t stop at replacing candles and making DIY green cleaners when I started my health journey. Once I had conquered all things physical health and felt amazing inside and out… there was one little issue left.

Burnout

I had worked a full time job as a teacher for 8 years and was a certified holistic health coach for the last 4 of those. But life wasn’t moving forward. Energy felt like it was leaking everywhere, and I was just sitting still. I wanted to move forward but emotionally had given all I had. I felt both empty and like I could explode at the same time if I took on anything else.

In 2018, I quit my job…

Thankfully my side hustle health biz gave me some financial space to explore and do a little soul searching. I knew I wanted to further my reach in helping people better their health. Any good guidance starts with good learning and personal experience. So I committed to unraveling my own burnout and exhaustion from trying to do it all for too long. Fellow essential oil expert, Val Petty, and I started learning everything we could about emotions and their effects on our body and mindset… and therefore our future reality and potential.

Which led to A podcast

As our journey deepened with learning how to use essential oils to clear out years of stress and exhaustion, things we never dreamed about would happen. We became so completely fascinated with this process that we accidentally became experts on emotional health, the signs of living trapped under emotional baggage (which, as it turns out, everyone has), and the steps for getting free from it.

So we started a podcast just to document the journey. Over 60 episodes and thousands of listeners from over 20 different countries later… it was clear what I had to commit to teaching next. Total mind, heart and body wellness + freedom.

The most important thing…

I’m a completely normal person. My past is probably more difficult than some but definitely easier than a lot too. My disadvantages in life became my strengths. My most relevant education has been mostly self taught, and I’m wildly passionate and deeply invested in making sure everyone who wants to become the next better version of themselves falls in love by what they discover inside.

I believe that everyone has an unlimited potential for growth and amazingness just waiting to be uncovered.

And some of the best growth journeys and transformations… just happen to begin with burnout.

You can do this.
