EMBRACING OBSTACLES AS MOTIVATION Savvy is inspired by fellow Diamonds who ask how they can help. “Sometimes, when we want to do volunteer charity work, we think we have to travel to third-world countries. Yet if we look right here, in Canada and the USA, we will see that we don’t have to travel far to help people in poor living conditions. I’m heartened by Diamonds who’ve motivated my team and me to focus on a cause close to our hearts.” “As a person of color, one of the obstacles we are constantly encountering is feeling underrepresented. We don’t hear or see many indigenous speakers at dōTERRA® events or in the magazines, and we aren’t able to relate to non-natives. But instead of focusing on the lack of representation, we use it as motivation to continue sharing these natural blessings and sharing our beautiful culture with everyone when the opportunity arises.” Savvy embraces opportunities to share her native culture and invites everyone to connect with her on social media: @SavvyUnLtd Achieving Diamond rank is a tremendous victory for Savvy’s team. “Many non-indigenous don’t understand what the big deal is about celebrating indigenous successes, especially because they don’t see the deep underlying sorrow and the daily hurdles we each have to overcome. In short, when we rise as indigenous people, we are helping our mothers, grandmothers, and future children rise as well. “It’s been a true blessing to share these brown bottles with my family members, my mother, and my grandmother,” Savvy explains. “When we work on overcoming our own obstacles, we are helping those around us. It’s such a beautiful ripple effect, and once truly felt from the heart, how can one ever quit using or sharing these gifts with loved ones? When we share these gifts of Mother Earth with our friends, family, and communities, we are mending so much intergenerational trauma and deep-rooted sorrow that many don’t or can’t even speak about. A lot of times, these oils speak to us in ways that English words could not even describe.” “As indigenous people, there is a lot of pain and scarcity that we carry daily, and we as a team continue to build each other up and create hope, which so many of our First Nation communities lack. As a team, one of the things we’ve accomplished and continue to work on is shifting out of the scarcity mindset and into abundance. We are open with each other when feeling stuck and remind each other of our strengths. Our good vibes attract the most beautiful hearts to us." —Savvy Simon Results not typical.
