Just over here in the my last organized corner of our home, sipping my collagen, and waiting for the drop…

…the metaPWR drop 🔥 Want to know why you need to get your hands on doTERRA’s metaPWR system? Swipe above to see some of the differences.

My cliff notes version:
👉🏼Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, yet its production starts to drop at around age 25.
👉🏼Most collagens on the market only contain 1-2 types of collagen. MetaPWR has 9 types.
👉🏼Powder can be > than liquid. doTERRA never cuts corners and it’s bioavailability is 🙌🏻 plus you don’t have to heat up the ingredients (this maintains the integrity of the ingredients) or add emulsifiers. Plus, you’re not paying to ship water.
👉🏼Most collagens on the market have high levels of glyphosate. doTERRA uses Marine collagen because of this reason and then tests to make sure there is no glyphosate OR heavy metals.
👉🏼There are over 12 additional synergistic ingredients in the collagen powder that support longevity and the metabolism.
👉🏼2 of those ingredients are NMN + NADH (in natural forms - not synthetic like almost all other options on the market) which help the body produce NAD. Research NAD, it’s REALLY incredible.

For those of you that have already gotten your hands on the collagen, what have you noticed as you have started to take it?! Tell me your results! And if you don’t have and need it in your life message me!

Do you see that little muscle starting to pop out on my arm?! 🙌😆🥳

In March 2022, I decided it was time to make some changes. Pre-2022 Kristin needed some grace after going through a season where working out fell semi-off her priority list. And if you know me, fitness is a part of me being my best self. It’s one of my top forms of self-care…

Since March, I’ve lost 15 pounds. But what’s WAY cooler is I did it while nourishing myself (not starving myself). I did it without losing my cycle, or my energy, or my cool because I was hangry. Instead, I focused on building muscle (which ways more than fat ps)👇🏼

🏋️‍♀️Deadlift starting weight -> 115 lb x 13
current weight -> 225 lb x 6
🏋️‍♀️Bench Press starting weight -> 70 lb x 11
current weight -> 115 lb x 8
🏋️‍♀️Squat BB Back starting weight -> 95 lb x 13
current weight -> 175 lb x 10

But my very favorite part is getting to have conversations with my boys about why I spend 4 mornings in the gym for an hour with and THEN the strength and energy I feel to participate and have fun with alllll the boy things they like to do. I love that they know I am a strong mom.

The cherry on top was talking to my niece all about why it’s way better to be strong than super thin. Her face said it all as I showed her videos of me lifting and our exchange helped my desire grow even more to continue to embody the values I hold.

I share this all with you today, to encourage you that nourishment and movement trumps ALL. Starving yourself to fit in your jeans is never worth it. Investing in healing your metabolism through micro habits will transform the bigger picture of you life. What are the little shifts you can make in your day to be the best you? To be a strong mom? To model to those around you what you value? You’re worth it friend! 🥰❤️❤️

And just like that…literally a week after submitting for our Visa’s, we are approved to move. Our family has officially purchased our one way tickets to move to London, England on October 10th.

Why, you ask? The short answer is because God said. And we know there is no where better to be than following His leading in your life. Feel free to ask us about the longer version though because the way God speaks is pretty cool. 🙃

In London, we will be joining a church planting team and continuing our doTERRA business. It’s an adventure for our family with God. We are excited for what’s to come but we are grieving all we will leave in Waco after living here for the past 6 years + moving farther from our family/friends in South Dakota!

We’re so thankful for our family, our people, the Living Drop Collective & doTERRA, and our church. You hold us up and call us higher. We love you all!

Have any of you traveled to London? Tell us your favorite things there!

Ever Christian is 3 🎉

I can still remember the sweetness of your birth. We were in our first home and even Elliott was attached to you at first sight.

We’re so thankful for your joy, fearlessness (most times), strength, and tenderness. Happy birthday Ever!

“Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action.” Dallas Willard

What a journey! The pursuit of our Founder dream and beyond has been such a shaping season for our family. It has felt so much bigger than anything we could do on our own. But God is faithful and His grace multiplies our efforts. It’s never something we earn but when He invites you on an adventure, it’s always worth taking.

We’re so grateful for our people (our families, nannies, assistants, church family, and team) and for an invitation to be a part of something bigger than us. I look at the faces in this picture and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. The Living Drop Collective team is a dream planted in my heart, turned into reality. We love you all!

Thank you doTERRA for this incredible opportunity and for the OG founders for building a bigger table. Thank you Kalli, Maree, Denise, Gina, and all my cross line sisters/brothers. The culture of this company makes me proud to be a part of it.

And to my boys, you are what inspires me most everyday. To love you and show you what’s possible is one of my greatest joys. Tyler, you are my rock, you help me believe in what’s possible when we partner with God, and our team wouldn’t be the same without you working by my side these last four years. I love you!

….If you don’t know, US Founder 2.0 is an annual, lifelong, revenue sharing bonus opportunity. No downside. Only upside. It’s about growing Team, growing personally, and making a bigger impact. It’s a rare opportunity and if you want to know more it’s not too late! 173 spots remain!

Having children changes things, doesn’t it? In 2014, I was working 40+ hours a week doing work I loved with awesome people. But when Elliott was born, I started to process life differently. I started to ask myself, “wait, do I really want to go back to work?” “Why am I weighing what my boss needs over what my family needs?” “Is there a way, I can continue doing what I’m passionate about and make an impact, without having to do it someone else’s way?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Processing these questions is when parts of me that I didn’t even know were starting coming out. I could have never envisioned the impact that would have come from my “yes” to a doTERRA business years ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lucky for me, Tyler was and is a major researcher. He did lots of digging and came up curious. He was very supportive from day one. Encouraging me to do doTERRA as a business before I even really wanted to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It all came down to these things:
1) The product rocks {and Verify Markets predicts that the industry will triple by 2026}.
2) The owners are integrous and the closer we get the more we see this to be true.
3) The culture of the company is about giving back, collaboration, and impact through empowerment.
4) And the pay structure is generous and brilliant.
Are you curious about what partnering with doTERRA could look like? Feel free to pop in to a webinar we’re hosting tonight to hear first hand why we think that diversifying your income through doTERRA is something you should consider. Message me for the link!

Oh, and if you’re concerned about direct sales, don’t worry that was me too {and like 80%+ of the top leaders in the company}. Network marketing doesn’t have to be what you have been told it is. doTERRA is different.

What an honor to talk with our favorite functional doctor Dr Seth guided us through Tyler’s Graves diagnosis 6 years ago and helped him reverse it. Of course, on our podcast together we talked about one of my favorite topics, miminizing toxic load. 

In the podcast episode, I talked with Dr. Seth about:
✔️ How to reduce toxins and optimize your home environment
🤷Why we need to consider the toxin load in our home
🧴What are some of the problems that can develop from excessive toxic exposure
❓What are the symptoms of having a high toxic load
💡How you can make subtle shifts in your life to lighten your toxic load
💧What is an essential oil and how can it safely be used in our lives
💥What is doTerra and how are their essential oils different

You can find the podcast link in my bio!

I loved teaming up with to treat 200 moms to their own natural scent this week. This is such a simple diy to anchor in special moments through the power of aroma.

A mom’s moments of self-care do not have to have negative consequences for your metabolism, fertility, hormones, energy, etc. Save this post for inspiration to treat the women in your life! Or plan ahead and make a diy cologne for Father’s Day! Have you diy’ed perfume before?

So many of you had been asking me about children’s oral health, holistic dentists, and our cavitation removals! It was an honor to go live with my dentist Dr. Candice Owens, D.D.S. from in Marble Falls, Texas.

I really believe eliminating my amalgam fillings and cavitations has been a key part of my vitality in the season, not limited to healthy hormone levels and conceiving our beautiful babies. It’s also been one vital step in minimizing root causes for my husband in his autoimmune journey. And we’re so excited to see our boys thrive after breastfeeding, implementing Weston Price nutritional principles as much as we can, and not using any fluoride in their mouths. Now we’re continuing to learn about how to minimize mouth breathing and how to empower our children eat nourishing foods that support oral health and overall health at their ages through respectful parenting (hello 6 1/2 year old with lots of new opinions 🤪).

Our live covers:
🦷Dr. Owens journey into biological dentistry
🦷How our oral health effects the rest of our body
🦷The best preventative things you can for your baby’s oral health
🦷Recommendations for when to first take your child to a dentist
🦷How do you properly determine what dentist is right for you
🦷Education on fluoride
🦷When is it possible to heal a cavity
🦷Should wisdom teeth be extracted
🦷How their dental clinic leverages the benefits of essential oils

Save this post with the button on the bottom right of this photo and share it with your mom friends that have been asking the same questions. I truly believe moms are the gatekeepers to our family’s health and it makes me so sad to know kids still are getting amalgam, root canals, and treated with fluoride without their moms knowing the negative consequences. When you know better, you can do better. Hates off to all of you mamas that are doing your best and loving your kids with all you got!
