Julie in her own words

From the outside looking in, people would have thought, I was living the perfect life 8 years ago. I was married to my best friend and homeschooling our four amazing kids on 30 acres in upstate New York. But I had one major problem - I never felt well. Even though I tried to live as naturally as possible, I was experiencing chronic health problems.

Through a battery of questions, my doctor determined that the cause of my issues could be stress, and diving further she pinned it on the toxic relationship I had with my mother... It was making me sick.

My doctor’s recommendation was to work on my relationship with my mom, which I questioned if that was even possible after so many years of me trying to make it “right” but always ending in extreme emotional hurt. My doctor’s recommendation then was to sever the relationship to give me time and space for the needed healing. She also recommended that I try different medications to help my body restore the physical balance in my body, but I felt that a more natural approach was the way to go.

At that time, I had a dear friend who kept talking to me about these “little bottles” of essential oils. On that day after my visit with my doctor, I reached out to her and told her, “I want those oils and the big reference guide too.” I started to use the essential oils daily, and it was a miraculous transformation...within six weeks I was feeling better.

Able now to take a deep breath, I started the journey of inner work, exploring my relationship with my mother, knowing that I had to make a change in order to thrive and live well. My mother has always operated from the stance of “her way or the highway,” easily eliminating those in her life who did not see her perspective and then attacking them vehemently for their personal stance. Everything was always black and white for her. Looking back, I realized that this left no room for me when I was growing up to find my voice and spread my wings because one of my core principles was that of the peacemaker. I would bow to her desire to keep order and bottle my emotions, feelings, and desires thinking that it was not worth it for me to find myself. However, with my state of dis-ease, I recognized that it was time to stand tall with my shoulders back and speak my truth. I was determined that I would put up a strong boundary to protect my wellness and this led to me finally putting closure on the toxic and abusive relationship with my mother. I stepped forward into becoming ME!

This newfound wellness gave me the opportunity to really look into the root cause of some of my chronic health issues...suppressed emotions. Feelings buried alive never die but surface as dis-ease. My desire to understand emotions, feelings and resulting actions led me to become an Aroma Freedom Technique practitioner in 2017.

Sharing about health and emotional wellness became my new passion. I’ve felt so blessed on this journey. I’m supporting my family and transforming lives, all the while doing something I love. This gives me tremendous peace, purpose, and joy.

Kristin’s introduction

Passive aggressiveness is one thing, and covert passive aggressiveness is another. Kristin became familiar with the latter and learned to tell the difference in her 12-year marriage to someone with covert passive-aggressive narcissistic traits. She left the marriage a few days before the world went into quarantine, and moved to the basement for 18 months as she began to rebuild her life and business for herself and her children. Now she's dedicated a part of her life to spreading awareness and giving the one thing no one can take from us - hope.

Kristin is a six-time award-winning journalist, app creator, speaker, and writer. She's the Founder and CEO of Back to Self-Care, a self-care experience company that opens, empowers, and educates minds about mindful self-care through products and services based on thousands of hours of her research in self-care she developed into a practicing framework called The 5-Pillars of Self-Care.

Darla in her own words

So, I like to call my story From the Pit to Zion... I spent my whole life in abuse of many forms. Since I was young, I was exposed to things I should have never experienced. I can tell you that I have experienced things in all areas of abuse. These include Sexual, Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Financial abuse. All of which had broken me down to a space of desperation, and I truly wanted to check out at a point.

Throughout all the years I sought therapy and groups, and then even began creating my own tools and courses to assist others in discovering how to begin loving themselves, who they are, what they need, and how to live for the highest good in our lives. My dream is to assist as many people through their own transformation as possible. To assist in teaching them they are worthy of the life they desire. We are only as limited as we believe...I have had the privilege to walk with many from all around the world and know that they have said, "It is like looking through a telescope in regard to the transformation from before to after."
