SMALL RIPPLES TO BIG WAVES
F
or Deborah, the initial days of
her dōTERRA ® business were
the hardest. She felt that her lack of
confidence had limited her progression.
“How can someone who cannot speak
audibly or open the oils properly share
dōTERRA with others?” Her doubts in
herself also made her and everyone
around her exhausted.

It was her love for essential oils and the
desire to share them with others that
kept her going. She wanted to be able
to leave a legacy for her family, as she
did not know how much longer she was
going to live. When she felt stretched
for time, was physically exhausted due
to her ALS condition, or wondered if

dōTERRA was worth pursuing, thoughts
of how others could benefit from using
dōTERRA kept her going. “I had nothing
to lose, so I decided to hold on to my
mentors, Elizabeth and Seang Looi, and
worked with them to run events every
week,’’ said Deborah.
Slowly, Deborah seemed to naturally
overcome her initial fears. What she had
thought was a hindrance was no longer
an issue. Wanting to progress faster
and not be limited by her mentors’
schedule, she started to meet up with
people on her own. “I realized that the
more I shared, the more confidence
and conviction I had in the oils as I
saw more and more families and lives
transformed.” She realized that her
journey in dōTERRA could also be filled
with fun, love and fulfilling moments. In
the end it was all a matter of her own
choice!
Deborah also felt that she resonated
well with mothers. As a mother of
three daughters herself, she was
able to empathize with the dilemmas
mothers face daily. The need to juggle
expectations at work, be there for aging
parents, and be a good mother all at the
same time, made her feel constantly
drained. She had felt it was impossible
to lead a balanced life – until she got
to know essential oils. Collaborating
with mothers became one of the most
fulfilling parts of her dōTERRA journey.
