“How do you do it all”. This is a question that I get asked a lot. I bet most working mamas do. If they do not, they should be asked this – we are AMAZING at doing all the things and fitting in everything important even when we “don’t have the time”.
I have two sons, an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old that keep me on my toes. I work a full-time job, and I have a thriving “side-hustle business”. Need to catch your breath? I get it…. That is how I feel most days too, but in the best possible way.
I started with Scentsy when my youngest was only 5 months old. I originally started as a hobby or a means to get my Scentsy products at a discount. I never imagined my business would turn into what it has or that it would do what it has done for my family.
In 2017 I wanted more. I had a growth mindset – and this was something I wanted to do for ME. Being a mother is HARD. Being a mother to TWO young kids is REALLY HARD. I felt sometimes, and maybe you do too, that I was losing my identity. I started to question myself and what I had to offer besides being a mom.
Now, do not get me wrong, being a mother is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I cherish my kids – but I am not ashamed to say that it was not enough and that I needed something for me. I needed an outlet. I needed a place where I could connect with other women who were driven with goals and where I could make an impact and give more to the world.
It now provides in a way even beyond fulfilling me, it also helps us pay for private school and support our kid’s activities in every way. I dream of the day when it is my full-time job and I no longer need work my kid’s activities into my vacation schedule at work or “call-in” when one of my boys is sick. Working mom guilt is real, am I right?
I have worked the last few years to build a business that could replace my full-time income. I have poured my heart and soul into not only serving my customers but building people up and working to change their lives with this opportunity. I firmly believe, you do not build businesses, you build people and people build the business.
Daily I have the privilege to lead a group of nearly 200 women and men who are all working towards their own dreams. What a fulfilling thing to be a part of their journey. Mothers, teachers, nurses, doctors, executives, artists, wives, husbands, fathers – each one with their own reason for working to build a business with a network marketing company – along side their many other identities. These women have been come some of my very best friends, and I become emotional when I think about where I would be or even who I would be if I did not have this opportunity or the tribe of women I have connected with because of a shared mindset and similar goals for ourselves and our families.
This opportunity has given my husband and I the opportunity to travel together and reconnect in ways that are priceless. We never even had a passport before Scentsy and since 2017 have earned three all-inclusive trips to Cancun, Bermuda and now Disney World!
I am busy. I juggle a lot. But I do it all in the name of being more present for my children. I know I will get there one day – I will be able to do this full-time and never ever miss another classroom party, school event, sports game or feel mom guilt when I would rather spend the day cuddling a little one with a cold. That is the dream, and that’s worth working with everything I have for. So, mamas, never stop dreaming.
