My Story
The year was 2016. I was a recent college graduate and had just moved into my first roommate-less apartment. Just me and my dog. I had one Scentsy warmer that I'd gotten as a gift and I was so broke that I could only afford to buy one Scentsy bar at a time. And believe me, I made that Scentsy bar last. I was headed into a career that I still wasn't 100% sure was for me, even though I'd just paid for four years of schooling to get there. I was an introvert, living completely inside my comfort zone, and I was happy as a clam with who I was and not ever changing or growing. Or so I thought.
Then came the day. I ran out of my Simply Vanilla wax and wanted to try something new but not too different (remember, I LOVED my comfort zone). While I was ordering my one single bar of Toffee Butter Crunch, my consultant asked me a question that changed my life. She asked me if I'd ever considered becoming a consultant myself, so that I could earn commission on this amazing thing that was making my apartment smell so good. It was a good time to join - the membership fee was half price that month!
Let's recap: I was broke. So broke that I could only afford one $6 bar of wax at a time. How was I going to afford a $64 kit? Times were desperate and I had an exciting feeling in my gut about this opportunity I was presented with. I scrounged together the money and did the thing! But then I didn't do the thing. I didn't start off with a bang or put myself out there because my introverted, comfort zone-loving brain was too afraid to put myself out there. But I DID love all the help and support I was getting from this new Scentsy team I had just joined. These women were doing this to supplement their part-time income? And some of them even full time! No way! I was in shock when I found out that this was an option at all.
Slowly, but surely, I got more and more into it and finally began to see that I did want to grow, I did want to change my life, and maybe there was a reason Scentsy came into my life at a time when I was broke and questioning my last four years of schooling.
Fast forward seven years. The year is 2023. I'm a freaking Scentsy Director, I've moved into a house that was purchased - no more rent. Still with the same dog. And my only roommate is the the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
Thank you to everyone who has made this what it is. I'm more grateful for you than you'll ever know.
