How My Health Path Turned into a Business!

How My Health Path Turned into a Business!
When I was invited to a mentoring morning with my friends who were creating a business, I didn't know much! I had been using Young Living oils and products for a few months and loved the quality and benefits I was discovering for our health. It wasn't until I was putting together my taxes that I realized that the business was really categorized as Marketing. I hadn't heard of the MLM model, I just knew I loved helping people discover the difference that some new habits could bring to shift wellness for our homes! 

The more I have learned about the model we use, the more I appreciate the opportunity YL provides for everyday customers to build a business in ways that serve our friends and family using our unique personality, gifts and capacity at different seasons. Rather than paying a big advertiser, they offer a referral bonus or commission that only works if people love their products! I can trust YL to keep creating beautiful quality natural products that respect our bodies and environment while I focus on listening to the needs of my friends and connecting them to things that have been helpful for me and my community. As my friend's find natural wellness options they are excited about, we have a large community full of resources for them to patch into. And the opportunity to share is open for them, too! There is always room at this table for more! Young Living's mission is that every home experience the beauty and power of essential oils and gain confidence in using them to care for our family and friends. 

I have found my niche through educating, listening to the health puzzles my friends express and helping them connect the pieces to find a path forward to support their bodies to do what they were designed to do well - heal. My question is always - what gets in the way of your body's healing? What stress loads are you wearing physically, emotionally, spiritually? How can we create a routine to take a healthy step... and then another to consistently shift the trajectory of our wellness? The answers aren't always related to essential oils. What we eat, how we move, how we process emotions, whether we respect our limits or listen to healthy boundaries, whether we cultivate good relationships - there are so many pieces to our complex wellness puzzles. Our Western medical system is focused on compartmentalizing and dividing us into pieces - and they are good at what they do - but I feel like we need help to put it all together to discover root causes. When our family and friends have resolved root issues - often so many symptoms disappear. 

I decided to update my website to serve my community more effectively!

It has lots of options for education and ways to connect personally if you'd like to brainstorm where you are at and where you'd like to be. Take a browse if you like and know that I welcome your feedback as I learn and grow!

My Story - Turning Health Challenges Around

 
I was twenty-two years old and felt like 90. 

Every day I would get out of bed not knowing if I could make it to my 4th year classes. 
Some days I would shower and by the time I finished I felt dizzy, sleepy, and my muscles felt like lead. Sometimes I would be so weak that I had to crawl on all fours back to my bedroom to lay down again. I would get 12-14 hours of restless sleep that would leave me feeling like a truck hit me. I ached all over and my head felt like it would burst with the pounding pain. I was really sick - for months... and then years.    

My adult life was just beginning and I'd been handed a life sentence of chronic illness.   

I got married that fall to Lance Wright, my very supportive and understanding husband. He and I talked about taking a year off - no schedule - to allow my body to recover. I was on a downward spiral and had no answers about how to turn it around. My world shrunk - fast.  

But as my outward world shrunk, I was determined to grow my inner world through reading, prayer, and writing. I knew the diagnosis I'd been given wasn't the end of my story. I trusted that I'd find the steps needed to heal.   

One day as I was asking God to heal me, I got a picture in my mind of a drooping flower bound tightly by weeds. A flash of understanding came with it. I felt as if God was saying, "Healing will be a slow process. Trust me and I will lead you to part of the weed to loosen its hold and remove its influence." This became the perfect symbol for my wellness journey - bit by bit finding healing steps and feeling life and strength return.  

Part of my wellness picture was uncovering trauma that had taught my mind and body that I wasn't safe. So the safety of my relationship with Lance was the starting point for the hard work of healing. When I would get discouraged about how little I could accomplish each day, Lance would remind me that my full-time job in this season was to heal. After a digging deep process, digestive cleansing, and dietary changes over eight years, I started to gain ground. 

I am 52 this year and feel better than I did in my twenties. Lance and I have raised three young men together and I spent 17 years as a homeschool Mom. I have become passionate about helping people discern steps to get unstuck to move toward health. It feels redemptive to use the years of research and experimenting to shorten the road for others looking for a path forward. Enjoy perusing my blog or follow @pegwright | Linktree for a way to connect. I'd love to pull up a chair at our table and share with you the small steps that are opening doors of possibility for life-giving change.  Let's Thrive - together!
