In 2010 I took the BIGGEST leap of faith and moved from Australia to America (not knowing a single person) chasing my dreams as a journalist. While my career prospered my body didn't adjust too well to the climate and cultural differences and before long I had gained weight, m...y immune system was lacking the proper support and overall I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. When I say my immune system was "lacking support" I mean my body literally couldn't cope with the changes and it got to the point that going back home to Australia for a visit was the only way for my immune system to bounce back.
When Thrive found me through my friend, Cheyenne Wilson, early 2015 I wanted NOTHING to do with it - YES I was that girl that IGNORED her messages. I thought this was life - tired, taking "nanna naps", living on coffee, soda and energy drinks. I was 27 years old - I SHOULDN'T have felt that way!! Being that I KNEW my body didn't respond well to anything I wasn't interested in Thrive and as for the business side of things...I had an AMAZING career as a morning radio show host, TV host and wrote for several magazines - I DIDN'T need, nor did I want to be a part of a direct sales company. Did I mention I HATE sales too??
How WRONG I was. Promoting Thrive ISN'T "sales" it's simply sharing MY AMAZING experience with others - YES you heard me right!! In September 2015 I gave in and started my Thrive Experience. Let me tell you...besides the fact I have all day energy, have not had a single coffee or energy drink in 8 months and DON'T take naps anymore...my IMMUNE SYSTEM is THRIVING!!! I have NEVER been so HEALTHY since moving to America 6 years ago!! I cannot begin to explain how that alone has changed my life. There were nights of crying on the phone to my mum cause I couldn't handle it anymore - BUT NOW my life has literally been changed - it might sound cliche but I'm 100% serious.
And now this little "side business" of sharing Thrive with others has become my MAIN PRIORITY!! Don't get me wrong I still LOVE my career in radio and am still living my dream but now because of Thrive I know when my husband and I decide to have a family we won't be pinching pennies and if I want to be a stay at home mum...I CAN BE!!! The comfort in knowing that is worth more than gold!! As a successful businesswoman before Thrive I can tell you without a doubt that this company is LEGIT, financial freedom IS POSSIBLE and it is NOT "sales"!!!
In 6 months our team BLEW past 80K and the next month we closed in on 100K - this is INSANE!!! And to be growing my team back home in Australia means so much - I want all my friends and family to experience this!! I cannot speak enough about not only Thrive itself but the company that Paul Gravette and Jason Camper have created - THIS is my FAMILY!!!
Homesickness is something that will NEVER go away, it has gotten easier and I'm so grateful to have an amazing husband BUT a piece of my heart will always belong to Australia. HOWEVER, this "Thrive family" makes that homesickness easier and easier every single day!!!
Thrive isn't just a "health and wellness product"...it is something that CHANGES LIVES!!! I know this because it has changed mine more than I can possibly begin to explain!!
Thank you Paul and Jason - you'll never know the missing piece in my heart that this company has filled <3
