Almost my entire adult life has been a physical & financial struggle. Always working multiple jobs, working hours for dollars in high stress environments and missing out on truly living, seeing my children or just being able to feel like I can breathe…. I found myself sick, diagnosed with autoimmune, burnt out, single parenting and lost.
I spent years teaching yoga, waitressing, and trying to build my health business from the ground up.. My dream was to someday have enough income and clients that I could just help people heal for a living… I thought when I achieved that I had truly made it in life.
Well, I did achieve that. I crushed that goal. I’m now part of a holistic clinic with a thriving practice and have been for a few years. Unfortunately once I achieved this, I realized I had broken my own heart.
This isn’t what I wanted at all… Don’t get me wrong, I love helping people heal. But sustaining my entire family through my healing practice required me to work 6 days a week, 12 to 16 hour days. I spent hours in the clinic and then hours outside of the clinic sending emails, follow ups, phone calls… It never ended.
My nervous system started crashing, I was shaking on the regular… I literally felt like I was dying on the inside. Exhausted, overbooked, absentee parenting, and still somehow couldn’t make enough to live on and fulfill some of my dreams..
One year ago, I made an incredible choice to partner with Purium and the Million Mom Movement. I said yes to this powerful community that is creating personal health, planetary health, and economic transformation for the world.
I am happy to say now that I have never been or felt more free in my life. I’ve been able to help hundreds of people in significantly less time; and build an income from home, at the beat of my own drum, with my children, at the beach, in whatever country I feel like being in… And for the first time in my life I can’t remember the last time I’ve said do we have enough money for the mortgage this month?
My personal health and financial health are finally thriving. Through many years of infertility I just gave birth three months ago to a healthy baby boy and conceived with complete ease. When I was just five weeks postpartum I achieved the rank of blue diamond while on maternity leave… More than doubling my husband’s income. This moment brought me to tears.
I have now reduced my clinic schedule from six days a week down to 3 days a week. I am helping more people in less time.
I feel so incredibly blessed to be part of such a powerful community of support. I dream of a world where mamas everywhere can have vibrant energy, healthy children and large income streams while getting to enjoy their little ones grow. Thanks to the Million Mom Movement, that is a reality for me.
