LET’ S GET REAL
“ WE CAN’ T KEEP SOMETHING A SECRET THAT MENDS HEARTS, RAISES SOULS, INSPIRES PEOPLE, BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER, REPAIRS RELATIONSHIPS, CHANGES THE WORLD, FEEDS THE HUNGRY, CLOTHES PEOPLE, AND HELPS MOTHER NATURE.”
Sandra had a natural talent for entrepreneurship and used that gift and the oils to help others in ways her eighteen-year-old self only dreamed of. Sandra became an advocate for others’ wellness, but also an advocate for peoples’ happiness. No matter where people have been or how devastating their backgrounds are, she inspires them to see their worth and encourages them to never give up on themselves or their business. To those just starting their journey to Diamond, she says,
“ Reaching Diamond can be very difficult. You see these beautiful, shiny Diamonds as they walk across the purple carpet at convention, and you see the glory, but not the story. Reaching Diamond was mud, dead ends, tornados, lightning,
earthquakes, and then there were rainbows, flowers, beautiful sunny days, and then tornados again. That’ s just part of the journey. There is a price to pay, but it is absolutely worth it.”
Throughout this muddy, yet inspiring, journey, she has had the loving support of her husband and her children. Among the many sacrifices of cooking, babysitting, and cleaning, her husband and her son also gave up their weekend dirt biking ventures so that the business could thrive. Sandra’ s family has truly been her rock in the whirlwinds.
From the airport to the purple carpet, Sandra has seen breathtaking changes occur in her life. She is now in a place of happiness, living dreams that she once thought impossible, and the hope she feels motivates her to give back to those in difficult life circumstances. She says,“ My Why is to help domestic shelters, provide free product for children, and pay legal fees for people who are in jail innocently. I can give back in a way I had only dreamed of through dōTERRA, and I truly believe that we all have a shot at changing the world.”

LET’ S GET REAL

ACHIEVEMENT
“ Achieving a higher rank is not about the notoriety or the title. You reach the next rank because you’ ve touched more lives, you’ ve gotten outside of yourself, and you understand the responsibility that you have by knowing what these products can do for someone’ s life.”
GROWTH
“ It’ s a journey, and you’ re going to have to be ready to get uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, because you’ re growing. In order to live the life that you’ ve dreamed of, you’ re going to have to grow into a different person.”
BELIEF
“ You deserve it. Your family deserves it. This is not an‘ I’ story; this is about the whole team. This is a global movement, and one person can make a difference. There is no doubt that as millions of people together, with the same cause, we can change the world.”
