When I decided to step back into Young Living full-time, I initially thought the missing pieces in my journey were simply more knowledge or better tools. Like many in the wellness industry, I dove headfirst into the vast ocean of trainings, workshops, and surrounded myself with resources geared towards professional and personal growth. Each session offered nuggets of wisdom, yet beneath the surface, something still felt incomplete.
As I deep-dived into journaling and self-reflection, an undeniable truth emerged. The missing piece wasn't external; it was deeply internal. Confidence—or rather, a specific type of confidence—was what I truly lacked. Not the kind that fuels business acumen or personal achievements, but the confidence to tell my personal story, to embrace vulnerability, and to step into every room as my full, authentic self. This quest for confidence wasn’t just about surface fixes; it required a journey into the roots of who I am and facing the core issues head-on.
Discovering the Root Cause
The journey led me back to my beginning. Every person is born into the world brimming with pure love, joy, happiness, and abundance. As newborns, our presence alone can light up a room. We are celebrated, nurtured, and viewed with limitless potential by those around us.
However, as we grow, the external world gradually shapes us. Culture, society, familial teachings, and educational systems, often with the best intentions, start imprinting fear into our psyche. Warnings to "be careful," advice to "play it safe," and lessons on avoiding risk slowly lay a foundation of doubt and fear layered upon the confidence we were naturally imbued with. Bit by bit, our initial, unfractured faith in ourselves becomes buried beneath the pressure of external expectations.
These learned fears and limitations were what held me back from embracing my true self in my Young Living venture. Recognizing this was enlightening.
Choosing to Move Forward
Once the root of my hesitation was clear, staying stuck was no longer an option. I chose to embark on a conscious journey of self-challenge—one where I would step out of my comfort zone daily. I made it my mission to embrace the activities that intimidated me, to share my personal stories, even when trembling with doubt. I knew that true growth demanded pushing through these personal barriers.
This drive was the genesis of "Roots to Wellness," a space I envisioned for disengaging from fear-based scripts, reconnecting with our authentic selves, and gracefully stepping into our inherent power. The journey isn’t about striving for perfection but focusing on progress. It’s about sowing seeds of confidence, love, and wellness, and nurturing these aspects so they may flourish.
A Reflection for You
I invite you today to take a moment in stillness and ask yourself:
What is the root cause of what’s holding me back right now? What might it look like to take one small, brave step forward?
Allow yourself honesty in this introspection. Write down your thoughts—the simple awareness of these roadblocks is the first pivotal step toward transformative change.
Roots to Wellness is more than just my journey; it’s also yours. Together, we aim to clear the patterns that no longer serve us and find nourishment that allows us to rise into the lives we were meant to lead. Life brimming with authentic expression, deep wellness, and unyielding confidence.
