one sentence can change your whole life in an instant.....your son has autism

It's true isn't it? Just one sentence is all it takes to change your life in an instant.

I was recently asked to share why I had started a dōTERRA business and an image immediately sprang to my mind - it was 8 years ago and I was looking into the eyes of my son Sampson and I felt like I didn't recognise him anymore - it was just after I heard this one sentence.....
 
Your son has Autism.

Suddenly he became a problem, a life long burden and I was choked with fear, shame and guilt.
​

Then my husband said this: "Babe he's still the same person he was yesterday...he hasn't changed".

​Of course!! I snapped back into reality and realised that it wasn't him who had to change.

It was me - I had to change.

So we threw ourselves into creating a life of opportunity for Sampson but the truth is - it was hard, really hard. 

1 year ago we moved to the city to be closer to an Autism specific school. We had sold everything we owned and still found ourselves in 50K debt, I was on a carers pension and Mike was driving an Úber just to make ends meet and pout food on the table.

Then one day I was chatting with a girlfriend about how many Network Marketing people had approached us to work with them and my friend said "You know it really is a beautiful example of a feminine business model"

BOOM!

This was a lightbulb moment for me - suddenly I could see a pathway to freedom for our family, a way in which I could do something I love, sharing essential oils with others to empower them to take charge of their health & wellbeing to live the kind of life they want. 

The ultimate surprise though was is how much these oils have supported us emotionally, physically and soon to be financially too.

And now when I look into Sampson's beautiful big eyes I think I truly am the luckiest mum in the world!

I actually did my most emotionally raw video ever on this very topic as a Facebook Live - did you see it? Watch it below. Why did I do that? Well it's not often we share the shit is it? I didn't do it so that people would feel sorry for me - cos I don't feel sorry for me, but I wanted to share that life has challenges that we all go through but there is HOPE and there is a way in which we can feel powerfully supported with something as simple as a drop of essential oil.

​We all know someone in our lives (including ourselves) who is feeling stressed out, busy, lacking in energy, not sleeping well, struggling with the change of season, maybe the kids are driving you crazy or maybe it's a job that is sucking the life out of you - anything ring true? 

Here's a beautiful thing you can do for yourself and 5 of your besties - invite them over to yours for a fun, relaxed info session on essential oils and how you can welcome them into your life easily and effectively, I'll bring everything and we'll sit around your lounge smelling the gorgeous aromas and sharing information. Email me or call now to book in a time - If you are not in Adelaide - no probs we can use the interwebs and I can Zoom into your lounge room, you'll have the samples in your hands and bish, bash, bosh! An essential oils class will enter you into this awesome prize pack to win over $360 worth of oils and resources.

If you'd rather a 1:1 convo - I'd love that too, email me or send me a Facebook message

And hey if you find yourself looking for a pathway to financial freedom too - let's chat because this is REAL and it works.

Seriously - one drop can change your life.
