Change isn't easy!

Today I'm making changes.  Well at least today I've got to the point of acknowledging a change that has been developing for a few months, and doing something about it.

But it's not easy!

Up to now, my focus has been to help mid-life women who are feeling stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed with menopause-related symptoms to take back control of their health and wellbeing so they can enjoy life again and embrace their future.  And I've been doing this through coaching and education services.

However I have been gradually developing a passion for doTerra essential oils, which are basically a different toolkit for achieving health and wellbeing.   They have made a huge difference to me, and I have decided that I want to focus my energies on sharing the message about how they can help with my clients too.

The thing is, I've been dabbling a bit with mentioning essential oils 'on the side'.  I've been nervous about saying too much as I didn't want to dilute my previous messages about how I could support my clients.  But today I decided to 'come out'.  It's been scary!

I have recorded a video to explain to my followers about what I'm doing.  There's only been positive feedback from that (so far!).

I've sent an email to my mailing list, offering them to unsubscribe if they're not interested.  There's been rather a deluge of 'unsubscribe' notifications.  It's not easy to see them come in, but if people aren't interested in my message, then it's time for me and them to let go.

Time will tell about whether it's the right move.  I definitely feel quite vulnerable now and unsure about whether I've done the right thing.  But I figured that if I don't try, I'll never know.

There's a great quote I have on my Vision Board - "You never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore".  Let's hope I manage to reach the other side, as that will mean that other people are discover the amazing physical and emotional therapeutic benefits of essential oils, and loving them as much as I do.
