without excuses
ometimes life has other plans
in store for us, and going into
the second month of Diamond Club,
it became clear to Jessica Kuiken
that her marriage was in danger.
Despite their best efforts, Jessica
and her ex-husband decided to end
their marriage before the last full
month of Diamond Club. “I posted
on the Diamond Club Facebook
page that I didn’t know how I could
possibly complete Diamond Club.
I received a lot of encouragement
and support from my fellow Diamond
Club members as well as my
beautiful team.”
Jessica and her ex sat down together
and figured out how to navigate
that final month of Diamond Club.
“Being an entrepreneur can be
tough, and doing it on your own
as a single mom can be exhausting.
I’m very grateful my ex understands
what this business means to my
daughter and me, and he's willing to
help take care of our daughter when I
need to travel or teach classes.”
Despite the life change, Jessica
finished Diamond Club strong and
won the sourcing trip.
“It’s been an adjustment to learn how
to run this business on my own,”
she admits. “It’s imperative to create
boundaries and self-care rituals
because my health and physical
fitness are business tools. If I’m not
functioning at my best, I can’t be the
business owner, leader, or mother
I need to be. So I hired a personal
trainer, got my nutrition back on track,
and put my self-care first.”
Bringing her five-year-old daughter
along for the journey is critical to
Jessica’s success. “Azlyn knows oils
help people feel better, so she’s always
advocating oils and cheering me and
our team on. She’s excited for us to hit
‘Rainbow Diamond,’ which is what she
calls Presidential Diamond, and talks
about the beautiful dress she’ll wear,
the cool things we’ll do, and all the
people we’ll help along the way!”
Jessica has worked hard to build a
strong community since her marriage
ended, and her team is like family.
“When my marriage ended, my whole
world shifted, so I had to spend some
time building a strong foundation.
Now my team is more like my
family. I know I can call on them
for support, encouragement, and
even childcare if needed. It’s been
a tremendous comfort to know that
they have our backs."
In the years since Jessica embarked
on this journey, she marvels at how
her experiences were refining tools
instead of setbacks. “I get paid to
help other people create better
lives and be a better version of
myself every day. When I said ‘yes’
to this opportunity, I could have
never imagined all the incredible
blessings that have come my way:
the beautiful friendships, the amazing
community, the inspiring leaders,
the time freedom, and the financial
independence. And the crazy part is
that the best is yet to come!"
MASTER YOUR MINDSET
“As a team, as a builder, as a leader, your belief has to be so strong that it inspires people
to come along. You don’t have to have success yet, but you do need to believe it’s possible
and be able to hold that possibility for those who are coming along with you. On our team
we practice mindset mastery. We focus on what we want and keep that vision going so
that we’re always moving forward.” —Jessica Kuiken
