My biz partner Jihan Solomon Thomas will share how to get through life easier join us via zoom link in my comments ⬇️

You CAN Create Financial Independence

Since the time we were dating, John and I had a dream about the life we wanted to create for ourselves and our future family. Without exactly knowing HOW, we set out to learn about what it would take to achieve financial independence. This has a different meaning for everyone.

For us, it meant:

-time freedom
-money to travel with the family
-the ability to afford the healthy, organic foods and products we valued
-being the example to our kids and teach them what we were never taught

None of this happened overnight and the road has not been smooth. Navigating through discomfort has felt impossible at times. Risks were taken, mistakes were made. But today we are more steadfast than ever and come with knowledge that can be shared to help others along on their path.

This is what I am going to talk about. What, why, how - and where to begin on your journey. It's never too late and today is always the best day to start. Link will be in the comments and is for this group only.

It will not *just* be YL-related but it will *also* be YL-related so you can learn how to use this as a vehicle to get to where you want to go - both now and in the future.

Diffuser blend time! Do you struggle with having healthy boundaries? I do and am working on this!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently I learned that the constituents of each of these oils, combined together, create a perfect and beautiful storm of healing in this area! Let me explain why and how.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clove has been known to help people free themselves from patterns of self-betrayal and codependency in unhealthy relationships. Clove is wonderful at soothing nerve irritation, tension, and also buffering sensory input. This means that it can help with both your patience and endurance with difficult situations or people. There are times when feeling a bit numb can be a healthy thing, such as when we need to slow the impact of intense emotions like shock, trauma, sudden bad news, or grief. Or when your body and mind needs you to remain calm but the world around you does not agree. Believe it or not, we are not called to be constantly engaged with every upset that comes in our path.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Citronella on the other hand is the oil of identity. It can help us find our identity, independence, and establishing the boundaries of our personal limits while helping to repel those who would attempt to dominate or intrude on what we have stated or put into place. This applies to personal and professional boundaries. It also creates an invisible boundary around our home (ironic since that is how it helps with unwanted flying intruders). Citronella improves mental alertness and dispels exhaustion and inertia. In short, if you are feeling stuck, unable to move, unable to take action this is the oil you will want to have close by.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel offended by either of these oils I beg you to do some heart work. There is something standing in your way of healing!

I HAVE to share this testimonial because it’s so incredible. 🚀 💥

I’ve known this person for years and they struggle with weight and health issues ( boy can I relate) and I got this update today that nearly brought me to tears. 😭

I’m condensing our conversation a touch but here’s the story.

“I wanted to let you know that I’m down to 10 units of insulin from 60 units. I’m no longer taking the pokes to control my sugar. And I jumped on the scale a day early and I’m down another 2 lbs for a total of 14.5 lbs in 2 months.

But I definitely think that this product is helping with the way that I am changing my habits, especially postmenopausal, I've never had results like this before.”

This! This right here is why I’ve become so passionate about my journey and how I can help others. Especially when I see success stories like this. 💜

If you’re ready for more info let me know because these results could be yours!

Thank you, Erica for sharing your clients testimony… This is amazing. I wish I could give this stuff to my cats! Maybe someday they will tell us it’s OK for 🐈‍⬛

Get ready to change your life with ease! It’s not difficult if you do it step-by-step… Make a change every month! And you will affect the rest of your life what we do now affects you forever!

Your body is intelligent. 🌈 Every second, it is detoxifying, repairing, regulating, restoring.

But here’s the reality… We live in a world of constant low-level exposure.

🤯Air pollution.
🤯Synthetic fragrances.
🤯Plastics.
🤯Pesticide residues.
🤯Artificial additives.

Individually they may seem insignificant.
Collectively, they accumulate and create a burden.

When the body is overloaded, energy shifts from healing to managing exposure.
This can show up as:
😒sluggish digestion
😒hormonal imbalance
😒low energy
😒brain fog
😒immune stress

The goal is not fear.
The goal is awareness.
Detox is about reducing what no longer serves the body — consistently.

Thankfully, there are cleaner choices available.

Young Living has spent decades focusing on purity and transparency, offering options that help reduce the everyday toxic load, such as:
🌿 Seed to Seal® essential oils
🌿 Thieves® Household Cleaner (plant-based cleaning support)
🌿 Clean personal care without parabens or phthalates
🌿 NingXia Red® whole-food antioxidant support
🌿 Supplements designed to support normal detox pathways

Every time you replace a synthetic fragrance with a pure essential oil…
Every time you choose plant-based cleaning over harsh chemicals…
Every time you nourish instead of overload…

You remove obstacles.

And when obstacles are removed, the body does what it was designed to do. 🌈

Small changes compounded daily create powerful shifts over time. 🌿✨

Are you ready to make a shift?

Ty Frances for your post.

As the seasons change and spring arrives, it's time for me to refresh my hair color, which I've maintained since October with minimal salon visits due to my limited social calendar. Noticing the blossoming flowers in my garden serves as a reminder to revive my platinum blonde locks. To keep my hair vibrant and healthy-looking without relying heavily on chemical treatments, I rely on a specific serum.

Here is the blend I use for Brite Ocean Blonde Hair Serum:
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon jojoba oil,
1 tablespoon argan oil,
1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil
4 drops Blue Tansy essential oil, and
2 drops each of Rosemary and Lavender essential oils.

Instructions: Combine the oils in a 1-ounce glass dropper bottle, add the essential oils, and gently shake. Apply 1 to 2 drops to damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, or use as a hair mask with a few more drops, leaving it on for 30 minutes before shampooing and conditioning

OK, so 15 1/2 pounds and 15 inches! I guess 15 is my lucky number this week… Feeling great sleeping fantastic. Balance and Burn every day I take my powdered GLP supplement as soon as I wake up in the morning by itself.

But you can mix it in water. If you like I don’t need it. It just taste like a pixie stick of grape…

And then I’ll do my 30 minute walk around the city. Or I’ll go on my walking pad.

Then I’ll have a piece of toast with some avocado and then I’ll take the three capsules that come with the balance and Burn system around 11:30 AM, 1230 the latest.

And I don’t have any food cravings. I’m planning my meals because honestly, I’m not hungry at all.

So I’ll make sure I have a sweet potato with a piece of salmon… I just made chickpea pasta with broccoli, florettes, and a little bit of cottage cheese and garlic, and it tasted delicious! Eating lots of fiber I have no cravings for sugar at all.

So I’m loving balance and Burn. I will definitely stay on it for at least a year. And change all the things in my body that need to be changed and then I will maintain most likely by taking it once a week for the rest of my life. I love it. I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever taken. I no longer have tinnitus in my ear all the time. I might get it at night a little bit, but I used to have it 24 seven life-changing stuff grab it try yours it’s so worth it. Take it for 60 days and see how your body changes your hormones change and this is for men and women!

Ever wondered how many plants it takes to fill one tiny bottle of essential oil? 🤯

The answer surprised me ….

Just 5 ml of these oils takes this much raw plant material:

🌹 Rose – This one is mind-blowing.
It takes about 10,000 pounds of rose petals to make ONE pound of oil.

That means a tiny 5 mL bottle uses over 100 pounds of petals. No wonder it’s liquid gold 🫶

🌿 Peppermint – My favorite oil! About 250 pounds of fresh peppermint makes one pound of oil…so your 5 ml bottle uses just under 3 pounds of leaves.

💜 Lavender – When in doubt, get the lavender out! 💪 Around 100 pounds of blooms = one pound of oil, so your 5 ml bottle needed just over a pound of flowers!

🌱 Tea Tree – Another powerhouse! Just over a pound of leaves and branches goes into 5 ml.

It’s amazing to think how much nature gets distilled into one tiny bottle 🍃

When you open a bottle and take a deep breath, you’re experiencing the concentrated essence of all those plants in a single drop.

This is why purity matters. And why sourcing matters.

This is why I’m so intentional about the oils I use on myself, my family and the people I work with.

Which of these oil facts surprised you the most? 🌿

Check out this Balance & Burn testimonial from a friend!!

"8 week balance and burn update…
*my biggest weight loss kicked In around weeks 4-6

Your body already makes GLP-1.

It’s not a deficiency, it’s a breakdown in communication.

This isn’t a magical pill…its a great support system along with healthy daily habits. It works to help support balancing insulin, balancing the gut (where GLP-1 is made naturally), and using our fat as a fuel source (heck yeah)

Ive been taking it for about 8 weeks, ive released 18 lbs and my husband has released 45 lbs!!!

But the best part is we feel amazing with zero side effects!
less food noise, less hungry, less snack-y, lower inflammation, better sleep, better energy!"

02/27/2026

This has been the best 48 days in a very long time, not only am I able to block the noise of food or other things from my brain. I don’t have the fog. I’m focused when I get up in the morning. I’m happy. It’s changing the dynamic of my body. Yes, I am losing weight and overtime. I will lose it all and be at my goal weight but the most important thing is the way I feel! This is for everyone, men and women this takes your body and takes whatever you’re lacking or needs to be moved around and like a chessboard it moves it around for you! To the proper place it helps the biology of each individual that they need. It’s not one-size-fits-all but all of my 93 friends that are trying it with me are so happy! Try it! You have nothing to lose and everything to benefit from it helps your micro biome in the stomach it helps your body perform better! With no side effects.

02/27/2026

I mix mine with a little bit of water and I love it. I never thought to add in all these extras! Sometimes I’ll even put some in my mushroom coffee! Really good for digestion I find it’s really helping during my balancing Burn journey… Look up all the benefits I guarantee you will love it!

02/22/2026

These are the only items I can use to remove my make up. If I spray tan it does not remove the spray tan at all! It only removes the make up… They’re also excellent to keep in the refrigerator for the summer to wipe down to cool off they smell so good!Yes, you can use them as baby wipes, but you can also use them for keeping Kuhl at a game for your kids just keep them in the fridge and then throw them on the back of your neck. They smell so good. And they’re rather large so you can cut them into four pieces and throw them in a little jar to use this make up remover… Never burns!!

Hey friends 💛 I’ve been digging deep into gut research, GLP-1 signaling, weight loss, inflammation, and all things metabolic health… LOVING it by the way!!! BUT, I want to make sure we are not skipping over some of our good old-school foundational nutrients!!!

Because while everyone is swooning over the shiny new hormone helpers and GLP-1 buzz… I’m over here thinking, "Did we forget about sulfur?" 🤨

Sulfur is not flashy.

She is not trending.

She is definitely not getting podcast interviews anymore. 😏

But she is absolutely foundational.

Unsexy? Maybe.

Under-hyped? Absolutely.

Necessary? 1000 percent. 🧬

If we’re serious about gut integrity, inflammation control, detox capacity, weight loss, and real metabolic flexibility… we do not ignore the basics.

🧬LET’S NERD OUT FOR A MINUTE.🧬

😏✍️ Ok, write this down ➡️

Sulfur is the 3rd most abundant mineral in the human body, right behind calcium and phosphorus. That means your body is basically built on this stuff. Every single cell contains sulfur.

Every. Single. One. 🧫

OWN THIS ➡️ You literally cannot live without sulfur. Just like you cannot live without water 💧, you cannot build cells, repair tissue, make glutathione, or run detox without sulfur. It’s not a bonus nutrient. It’s not just “nice to have.” It’s a basic, breathe-and-live level requirement!! 🧬

Sulfur is a key component of:

• Amino acids like methionine and cysteine

• Glutathione, your master antioxidant

• Keratin in your hair, skin, and nails

• Connective tissue

• Cartilage

• Enzymes that run detox pathways

You literally cannot build healthy tissue without it.

💪 Muscle flexibility: MSM provides bioavailable sulfur that helps form disulfide bonds in connective tissue. That’s what gives structure and elasticity to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Translation? Less creaky. More bendy. 😄

🫁 Lungs: Sulfur compounds support healthy inflammatory response and mucus regulation in respiratory tissues. It’s part of what keeps tissues supple instead of tight and irritated. More like an easy to inflate baloon!!

🦴 Joints & cartilage: Cartilage is built from sulfur-containing compounds like chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. Sulfur helps maintain the structure and cushioning of joints. When sulfur status is solid, tissue repair and resilience improve. When it’s low? Things feel achey, puffy, and tight.

💇‍♀️ Hair, skin & nails: Keratin is rich in sulfur. Those strong disulfide bonds are literally what give your hair strength and your nails structure. Brittle nails and dull hair? Sometimes that’s not a beauty issue. It’s a building material issue. 💅✨

🧠 Brain & mood: Sulfur is required for glutathione, the brain’s master antioxidant. Your brain is extremely sensitive to oxidative stress. Supporting glutathione helps protect neurons and maintain healthy neurotransmitter balance. Clear signaling requires clean chemistry. 🧬💛

⚖️ Hormones & metabolic signaling: Sulfur is involved in detoxification of excess hormones through sulfation pathways in the liver. Estrogen metabolism, thyroid hormone conversion, cortisol regulation… these pathways rely on sulfur availability. If sulfation is sluggish, hormone balance can get messy.

💩 Gut: Sulfur is required for the mucosal lining of the gut and for glutathione production in intestinal cells. That protective mucus layer? It is built from sulfur-containing compounds. And guess who lives right there in that lining, keeping it strong and healthy? Akkermansia. 🦠

Yep!! Akkermansia. 🦠 She feeds on and helps regulate that mucus layer. If the lining is thin or inflamed, she struggles. If the lining is strong and nourished, she thrives. And when she thrives, we see better gut barrier integrity, healthier metabolic signaling, and improved communication with hormones like GLP-1. So yes… sulfur is in the room. And Akkermansia is watching what you feed that room. 😉

🔥 Liver & Detox: Phase II liver detox depends on sulfur-containing compounds. If you’re mobilizing toxins and don’t have enough sulfur available? Traffic jam, just saying!!

💧 Kidneys: While the liver gets all the detox fame, the kidneys are filtering 24/7. MSM provides sulfur needed for glutathione production, which helps protect kidney tissue from oxidative stress while they do that constant filtering work. Healthy filters need antioxidant backup. 🧬 We like our kidneys supported, flowing, and drama-free. Just saying. 😏💛

YOUNG LIVING'S SULFURZYME POWDER

OK, now let’s talk about Young Living's Sulfurzyme Powder specifically, because it’s not just straight MSM. It is packed with all kinds of goodies that make it more powerful!!!

• 🌿 Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): The star of the show. Provides bioavailable sulfur for connective tissue, cellular structure, and glutathione production.

• 🌱 Inulin fiber from chicory root: This is our prebiotic fiber. Feeds beneficial microbes. Supports short-chain fatty acid production. Helps the gut actually use the nutrients you’re giving it. We love a team player.

• 🍒 Ningxia wolfberry powder (Lycium barbarum): Rich in polyphenols and carotenoids. Supports cellular protection, eye health, immune modulation, and antioxidant status. Basically, the antioxidant best friend sulfur likes to hang out with!!

• 🍃 Stevia leaf extract: No blood sugar chaos. Just a little sweetness without metabolic drama. We appreciate that.

😌✨ Here’s the thing...

YESSS we absolutely need to love on our Daily Hormones 💃

YES we want healthy GLP-1 signaling for weight loss 🔥

YES we are lowering inflammation and doing all the big exciting things 🧬

I am not canceling any of that.

I’m just saying… don’t forget the basics. 🙃

Your cells need daily TLC. & Real foundational support. The kind that keeps everything else working better. Sulfurzyme is not the flashy headliner. It’s the backstage crew making sure the lights turn on. 💡

To me, it’s a base nutrient. Right up there with water 💧 and NingXia Red 🍒

🎤🔥 When the cellular terrain is solid…
Hormones respond better.
Inflammation calms easier.
Detox flows smoother.
Muscles recover faster.
Metabolism communicates more clearly.
Fat burns more efficiently.🔥
And weight can finally release instead of clinging for dear life. 😏⚖️

🧬💛 Let’s build the kind of cellular foundation that makes everything else work better. 🧱🧬💛

Sulfur isn’t flashy.

It’s functional.

Personally, I LOVE Sulfurzyme & use it every single day in my NingXia Red. 💛

If your joints & jeans feel tight 🤸‍♀️, your recovery is slow 💤, your detox feels sluggish 🧪, your skin is meh 😬, or your lungs are cranky 🫁… this might be one of those “boring” basics you accidentally sidelined.

Sometimes the oldies are the goodies for a reason. 😉💛

So tell me…

⬇️⬇️⬇️ Are you Team Daily Sulfurzyme? 🧬✨

Or did I just open a brand-new nerd door for you? 🚪🤓

⬇️ And be honest… do you already HAVE Sulfurzyme sitting on a back shelf collecting dust? 👀🫣 Is today the day we dust her off, tighten up the routine, and get back to building that cellular foundation? 💪🧱🔥

___________________________

🌿 BONUS FOOD FIRST SECTION FOR SULFUR & GUT LOVE 🌿

You can absolutely get sulfur from the diverse variety of foods I talk about all the time. 🙌 This is not "supplements or food", this is food + support. Always food first!

Here are a few natural sulfur + gut-loving MVPs:

• 🥦 Cruciferous veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, arugula. These contain glucosinolates that break down into sulfur compounds that support detox enzymes and gut lining health. Bonus? They feed beneficial microbes and support short-chain fatty acid production that we have been talking about!!! Yes, please!

• 🧄 Alliums: Garlic, onions, leeks, shallots are all loaded with sulfur-containing compounds like allicin that support immune signaling, healthy inflammation response, and microbial balance. They also act as gentle prebiotics. Your gut bugs throw a party. 🎉🦠

• 🥚 Eggs (especially the yolk!!) These are tiny golden sulfur bombs. 💛 Packed with methionine and cysteine, they help your body build glutathione, repair tissue, and maintain that gut lining we keep obsessing over. Think of eggs as cellular construction workers with hard hats on. 🏗️

• 🥩 Quality protein: Beef, chicken, fish. These provide the sulfur-containing amino acids your body literally cannot make on its own. They are required for connective tissue strength, detox pathways, muscle recovery, and metabolic signaling. No raw materials? No rebuilding. 🧱💪

• 🫘 Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, black beans. Not massive sulfur sources on their own, but they feed the microbes that help regulate inflammation and metabolic signaling. And when the garden is fed… everything works better. 🌱

• 🥬 Fermented foods: All of them, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, and so many more!! They support microbial diversity, which helps maintain the mucus layer where Akkermansia hangs out doing her GLP-1 influencing magic. 🦠✨

So yes. Eat the broccoli.

Eat the garlic.

Eat the beans.

Feed the garden. 🌿

Sulfurzyme is support. Food is foundation.

We build both. 💪🧬💛

— feeling in love.
