hen Sarah-Jane Pepper’s
neighbor, Li Fryling, brought over
little bottles of oil one day to help SarahJane’s daughter, she was surprised to
see how well they worked. Sarah-Jane
fell in love with dōTERRA oils after that,
and Li encouraged her to look into the
compensation plan as well.
After growing up with a single mom,
it was important to Sarah-Jane to do
everything in her power to be able to
stay at home with her children. To make
this happen, her husband, Ty, worked
60 hours a week in a very physical job as
a skilled tradesman. She says, “He was
working his fingers to the bone. I didn’t
see him very often, my kids didn’t see
him very often, and I carried the load at
home while he was away. I knew we were
blessed, and I was grateful, but it wasn’t
quite the picture I had in my head when
I thought about being home.” She knew
there had to be a better way.
Sarah-Jane could see that a dōTERRA
business could be exactly what she had
been looking for, but she wasn’t sure
it would really work. She says, “But I
live intuitively, and I follow my inner
guidance and my flow. I wasn’t getting
a ‘no’ about dōTERRA, so I stayed with
it. I was following my yeses and seeing
where I went.” At some point, Sarah-
Jane got a clear “yes” and she knew that
dōTERRA was the right path for her.
She told Ty about her plans and he
got behind her right away. Sarah-Jane
says, “He knows, loves, and respects me
very much. When I got such a strong,
powerful yes about the business,
he just had to take one look in my eyes
and he said, ‘OK, let’s do it. Whatever
you need.’” Ever since then, he has been
just as much a part of the business as
her, if more behind the scenes. “I could
not be where I am without him. To me,
what he has brought to our business
has been invaluable and imperative
to our success.”
“I want to see all of
the people on my team
reach their goals. I
want them to feel the
empowerment, magic,
love, success, miracles,
and blessings that I
feel. They deserve it.”
“I just follow where my heart takes me.”
Ever since then, Sarah-Jane has continued
to follow her heart and the business has
come naturally. While it’s easy for her to
follow her inner guidance, the hard part
has been discerning between an answer
that’s a “no” and one that’s “yes, but I’m
scared.” She says, “It’s important to do
things that are scary and get out of our
comfort zone because that’s where the
magic and the growth really happen.
But, as we get better at doing that,
sometimes we say yes to things because
that’s what we think a leader should do
when, in fact, it was a ‘no.’ We have to
learn to tell the difference.”
Now, she can barely remember her life
before dōTERRA. She says, “It’s constantly
pushing me to be everything I can and to
play bigger than I ever thought I could.” Ty
can now spend more time with them as a
family, and their dreams are coming true.
