“ We never just try to make a sale . We say , ‘ We want to add value to your life .’” – Kenny
Stephanie Wahlberg was introduced to dōTERRA by a longtime friend , Kerri Lydell . Stephanie was intrigued at first , but lost interest when she found out it was a network marketing company . After attending convention , Kerri felt strongly that she needed to approach Stephanie again . Kerri then gave Stephanie an Introductory Kit and Stephanie discovered the effectiveness of Lavender on her children . She and her husband , Kenny , later had amazing personal experiences with the oils that had them hooked .
Kenny quickly saw that the oils were going to become an addiction for Stephanie . They have seven kids and Kenny worked doing finance , HR , and compliance for their church , so they didn ’ t have the money to afford oils every month .
So , he suggested Stephanie find out how she could get them paid for . She started holding classes , and enrolled 22 people in her first month .
Stephanie had been asking God for several months for a way out of their financial situation . She knew she couldn ’ t afford daycare for seven children if she went back to work full time , and she wanted to be able to homeschool them . When dōTERRA came into their lives , at first Stephanie was mad and didn ’ t want anything else on her plate . She says , “ I felt like God said to me , ‘ You asked for help . This is your answer .’ All of sudden , everything changed and I realized this could help us financially and I could still be home with my children . After that , I embraced it fully .”
The Wahlbergs helped start their church 18 years ago and before they had kids always enjoyed working together . Once they saw that dōTERRA could provide for them , they started to plan for Kenny to come home . He quit sooner than they had originally thought , while they were still Gold , but the combination of him coming home and doing Diamond Club pushed them to Diamond . Kenny says , “ Making the leap made all the difference .”
Five years ago , Kenny and Stephanie moved to Foresthill to have more space for their growing family . Their new property had a deck , and they started having coffee on their deck every morning . Kenny says , “ We would sit out there and talk about our kids , our lives , and our dreams . Once we started doing dōTERRA , we started talking about our team , listening to mentor calls , and reading personal development books . We did that for an hour or two every day . You can ’ t not grow in your life if you ’ re doing that .”
They ’ re grateful that because of dōTERRA they can spend more time together and help others at the same time . Kenny says , “ It ’ s always been in our heart to help as many people as possible , and now we have a way to monetize that . It ’ s like a dream come true .”
