Proverbs 29:18
I had neither time nor energy for things like visions. I was too busy with daily life —
I had dreams for our future, but I wasn’t building a life that pointed me towards them. Instead, I was in survival mode.
Sound familiar?
But God.
He used oils to remind me of my vision.
It all started because I wanted my house to smell good.
I was a mom so busy I had no idea how tired I really was.
Two growing boys, carpooling, keeping a home, homework, dinners to make, a toddler at the time, and exercising for self-care, ( Was I self-caring or escaping?).
I knew I was a busy mom with 99 problems, but tired and unwell wasn’t one of them!
I call that denial now, but then I was just doing life.
So I thought.
My husband and I received some stressful news, and there we sat anxiety sweeping over us. But then I remembered my box that just arrived.
I rummaged through my starter kit and found a small bottle of oil labeled “Stress Away.” I rubbed a few drops on each of us — what could it hurt? Within 20 minutes, I felt different. My husband said he felt it too.
Once I started using the oils, I felt better. Improved my digestion. Seasonal allergies relieved. Less fatigued. Calmer. More balanced.
And yes, my house smelled delightful, I was changing, we were changing.
From then on, I wouldn’t shut up about these oils. I told everyone I knew — all the incredible benefits our family was experiencing by using them. Yes, there were some eye rolls, but I kept sharing my story. These little bottles of plant juice worked, and I was going to shout it from the rooftops!
There wasn’t a doubt in my mind, God opened a door for me, and I was walking through it like a woman on a mission!
I did this for 4 years before realizing I could make a paycheck from sharing my stories and teaching other women how to use these oils.
Maybe, just maybe, I could make even more…
So, I committed to myself, to my dreams, to our future.
I launched my Young Living Oil Biz, and I haven’t looked back.
At first, my paycheck covered ½ our monthly wellness box. Next, it paid for the whole thing.
The monthly wellness box is all the items I used to buy at Target that we now buy from Young Living — toothpaste, oils, supplements, Thieves cleaner, make-up, and more. All conveniently shipped to my front door.
Like Amazon, only better, because I buy from myself first.
Helping other women care for themselves and their families has tipped the scales for my family. It’s opened freedom in ways I didn’t know was possible, achieved personal goals I gave up on, helped me catch a vision, and ignited living who I truly am.
Why not help other women tip the scales in their favor too? Help one woman earn her first paycheck, so she can help the next woman.
I found my purpose.
I found me.
But let me tell you, friend, when my oil biz paycheck paid for a cart of groceries, life changed.
All of a sudden, I saw potential, real potential for changing our family’s life.
That blessing from Young Living was food, gas, piano lessons, shoes for my growing boys, and even a fun night out with my husband. And it wasn’t draining our existing family budget.
Boom!
Talk about life-changing.
That was 3 years ago, and my little biz is steadily growing.
The oils changed my life, the Young Living business opportunity brought hope and freedom to our family.
Out of all that the oils have done for my family and me, the cherry on top is that I’ve grown.
I’ve developed confidence, found hope, my dreams have been reignited, and it feels so good.
What I love most is educating others on all the ways to use the oils and teaching them how to build a business like mine right from home.
While supporting their husbands and raising their kids.
In small pockets of time, in the midst of cooking dinner and mountains of laundry, I build my business.
My passion for teaching women how to build this business without sacrificing their faith or their family is what sets my soul on fire.
I’m a doer. A dreamer. An encourager.
And pouring into you is one of God’s callings on my life.
I believe in doing life differently.
We’re called not merely to survive. We’re called to thrive. To live a life of abundance, of freedom, of joy.

I live in Michigan with my husband, and we’re blessed with 2 sons — one’s still at home, and one is serving his country in the Air Force. We couldn’t be more proud!
I’m a homeschool mama that loves the beach, sand in my toes, and the sun on my skin. Hiking the mountains of Utah with my husband, exploring with Caleb, reading books on business growth and personal development, and gathering with friends around food!
My dream is to move to the beach and live the #saltlife. Sand in everything!
The thought of sand, flip-flops, and walking with my husband on the beach makes my heart flutter and sets my soul on fire.
I’m a big laugher and love to smile.
I only get a limited number of trips around the sun, and I believe in making the most of Every. Single. One.
Want to make the most of your trips around the sun too?
Xoxo,
Renee
