My Story
I learned about Scentsy via a friend from America who adored the products and her enthusiasm rubbed off on me. Particularly, when I discovered the Scentsy bath and body line of products. I was hooked! Sadly that friend passed away August 2014, and I was devastated to have lost a rock, inspiration and support. She always believed in me, and I noticed when that was gone. More so just after she passed away when I had a severe spinal injury that took away more of my confidence, and left me as a shy person. I always tried to see the positive, even when it felt like only darkness existed. By December 2014 I had spinal surgery and was starting to see that life could change in the blink of the eye. I felt my sense of purpose returning and I wanted to make my life worthwhile. I at that point could do simple things like walk again after 6 months. I began training to be an early childhood teacher and at that point believed it was what I wanted to do with my life. When I heard Scentsy was launching in New Zealand in March 2015, I contemplated becoming a consultant myself. But thought no, I’ll just buy it occasionally. I had convinced myself that I was too busy with swimming, study and life. Then my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up signing up with Scentsy on March 10th the day it launched in NZ. It was scary, especially as my upline was in Australia and I had never met any of them, in person. However, I soon discovered how amazingly supportive they were of this lil Kiwi and her “hobby”. It took me a while to tell the two other important people in my life- my support system; exactly what I had chosen to do. I was scared they would expect me to fail. Instead they have surprised me by supporting me 110%. Thanks to one of these important people I was able to attend Scentsy Family Reunion in Sydney this past August. This is where I discovered how much I really am overcoming my fears and becoming the confident happy person I used to be- but better! This growth in me as a person is thanks to Scentsy Spirit and all the support and friendships etc. from my Scentsy Sisters. I can talk to strangers now and not feel like I want to run away scared, although I am still working on that fear of the 500kg phone. I would never have started coming out of my shell like this if it wasn’t for Scentsy. I also would never have started following my dreams of traveling. Scentsy has given me the opportunity to tick Australia off my bucket list as I attended Scentsy Family Reunion in Sydney 2015. I am now working on achieving my goal of my first Scentsy Incentive Trip. Scentsy has quite simply changed my life and I am glad I took the leap… Why not see how it can change yours?
