My Story
Hello friend and thank you for taking the time to read my bio. 👋
For me… It was all about mental health.
I joined Scentsy on August 31st, 2018. My mumsie had joined scentsy 3 months prior and could NOT stop talking about it. I went three months without going ONE day not hearing the word Scentsy. She started sharing her products with me, and when I found the washer whiffs, (and the entire laundry line), I was officially hooked. But I definitely couldn’t afford to join at full price at that time..
My mom opened up a party with me as the host and I played “consultant” for a few days, sharing the product and gathering orders; and I was able to join for FREE on a host exclusive kit! (Ask me how to get on my waiting list to get your OWN free kit today!)
You see, I’ve been struggling with mental health for as long as I can remember. One thing I always felt I had full control over was laundry. It’s the one thing that no matter what; once a week I NEED to buckle down and do it because otherwise I would be walking around nakey. I LOVE feeling the warm clothes on my skin after I take them out of the dryer, separating the clothes between fold and hang and putting them all away in their respective spots. But the happiness and satisfaction ran out at the end of laundry day and for the rest of the week, I would always be a ball of anxiety until I was able to do laundry the next week and feel in control again! Then came Scentsy… The happiness doesn’t end on laundry day for me now. Not only due to the fact that my clothes, linens and towels all smell AMAZING and I get to feel that “control” every day when I wake up in the morning and put on something that makes me feel AMAZING but also because Scentsy has opened up a whole new path for me. A reason to get up in the morning and get EXCITED to go to work.
This company has given me a lot of freedom over the last 3 years, in so many different ways!
In March of 2020 when the world took a VERY weird turn and I lost my job due to personal reasons, I was TERRIFIED. How was I going to pay my bills? How was I going to help my partner, Justin with the mortgage payments and you know… feeding us.. It only became WAY more real when Justin got laid off due to lack of work. I had two options; Let my sadness get the best of me or BUCKLE down and build my team!
I chose the latter, HOWEVER 6 months later I found myself dealing with a moment of hypergrowth and got scared. I didn’t sell for almost 4 months, and on the last day of the 4th month, I would have lost EVERYTHING I had worked for. My girls would have no longer been under my family tree and I knew that just wasn’t an option. That last day with the help of some amazing friends and family, I managed to pull through EXACTLY $265 in sales to be able to keep my active status. Since that day, I’ve been pushing my BUTT off to ensure that never happens again.
I realize now that I should not have been SCARED of hypergrowth. I let my mental health get the best of me.
Since that “break” In my biz, I have been pushing non stop every month to hit my numbers but also build a team. I want other peoples lives to be affected in such a positive way, just as my life has been completely changed since I joined.
Like I mentioned above, Scentsy has given me so much freedom in my day to day life.
I am able to take days off without asking anyone, and NOT feel guilty about letting an entire team down.
I am able to pay for bills and am currently working on paying off all my debts.
I have met an EMPIRE of women who have my best interest in mind, and are there for me when I am feeling sad.
I was able to learn my dogs shelter story! (Whoooooooole post on its own and if you’re curious to hear this story; DM me on Facebook as it’s seriously INSANE hOW this story came into my life… all because of Scentsy!)
I have been able to take trips & meet OTHER amazing men/women who have had the honour of being in the Scentsy Fam! (ANd I’ve been working towards an ALL expense paid ALASKAN Cruise!!)
And Lastly, I have been given a sense of PURPOSE! This business has actually made me feel like I am WORTH something, and not just another number in the system. I have been able to help other amazing people on their scentsy journeys and have learned what being a leader is all about! (It’s definitely NOT about being the best that’s for sure!)
Scentsy is definitely not just wax and warmers. This company seriously has a way to touch every single soul here on earth and I am BLESSED to have been able to find such a passion in life… My ONLY regret with Scentsy is that I didn’t join sooner!
I hope when you read this you can see how the little things this company has to offer has affected my life in such a HUGE way. And the beauty is, it can do the same thing for you!
Take one REALLY BIG deep breath and ask yourself.. What do you have to lose?
Let’s do big things together!
Warm wishes always!
SCENTcerely,
Solange
