Geli's Story
Building a Sisterhood Lifeline
Hope ♥ Healing ♥ Joy
Here I was with two science degrees in psychology, including a masters degree in business psychology, certified NLP practitioner, certified Raindrop Technique - Energetics practitioner, certified Naturopathy practitioner. I had chosen to be a coach and consultant in private practice.
Despite showing positive results with my clients over many years, I had no clue how to get the next/new client once they left happy and able to move forward on their own..
I worked hard to make ends meet, chasing both clients and business leads alike but found myself still strapped for cash.
I was stuck in the typical self-employed/solopreneur conundrum - if I wanted to earn more, I needed to work more. The old "trading time for money" paradigm wasn't sustainable and did not work for me. With no leverage or systems in place, everything relied on me. I could not take a few days off when I needed to. I did have no business. I had a j-o-b.
I looked good on paper with all my credentials. I was a business professional, an entrepreneur, and an exhausted hamster in a wheel, worried about paying my bills, worried about my future, especially later-life future. I realized I had become a professional academic and healing arts practitioner statistic, particularly being a woman of that age group, .... and totally overqualified for any additional job.
Fear was consuming me, I worked myself into a burnout, I felt undervalued, stressed out, and continually in a trauma survival mode. I then had two wake-up calls:
I wound up in hospital with severe cellulitis caused by bacteria in the deep layers of skin. The skin around the lower parts of both my legs had virtually come off. Medical staff and doctors were on high alert for life-threatening sepsis.
To be truthful, I did not have time to be sick. Plus I felt the deeply gnawing shame of being a failure in my own mind.
The fear of old age survival, from the health and financial side still played havoc, and I was then finally ambulance blue-lighted into hospital due to a heart attack, and finally died with a cardiac arrest. I experienced the NDE, a wonderful peaceful, blissful experience, but was resuscitated, and here I am having been given a second chance to change my trajectory in line with my inner higher essence.
I was already a member of the company Young Living Essential Oils. As explained in my *science lineage* , I was familiar with essential oils long before I was introduced to YL (Young Living).
I have a most wonderful American 'upline' in YL, Dr. Sharnael Wolverton-Sehon, a naturopathic ND; Dr. David Stewart, a bio-chemist and quantum mechanics scientist; and Marcella Vonn Harting, PhD, Royal Crown Diamond with YL, and double PhD in Neuropsychology. So, the science side was covered, and from my own personal experience of the essential oils from YL, and the oils infused products, I knew the helped and supported me in every aspect of my being, mind, body and soul.
However, as I live in London, UK, the network marketing side is quite different in the UK and Europe. Thus I finally aligned with two European RCDs (Royal Crown Diamond) to mentor me on the business side. Yes, I stayed faithful to my American upline, but now I also benefit from my Austrian friends, Vijay and Ulrike (Ulli) Churfürst Hanzal.
Born and raised in Germany, I am bi-lingual, and whatever I learn from my mentors, Vijay and Ulli, I translate into English. However, those of my partners who are in my team and speak German, I gladly provide access to these two Austrian master minds!
So, what is the moral of my story, my raison d'etre, my dharma, for having given a second chance with life? Well, I believe I am to be a catalyst for hope, healing and joy to those who are survival champions in this life, especially my Sisters of a similar or same age as me, and who are willing to work hard, being a coachable mentee, rather than giving up on life, moaning and grumbling how hard life is. If you choose to have a can-do attitude, and to become better in your wisdom age years, rather than bitter, then I will do my utmost for you to live YOUR dreams!
There are mainly three tenets: Health, Abundance and Purpose.
Without health, the path is difficult or none-existent on this planet earth (I should know, I managed to die ...) YL does have around 600 health supporting products for all aspects of living well (essential oils, and essential oils infused wellness products).
Without abundance and financial freedom and autonomy, making healthy life choices can be very challenging. Becoming a YL business brand partner can be very beneficial in that respect.
Finally, purpose. Every single person has their own unique 'Why!' and purpose to empower them with joy to get up in the morning. I have two, one to change the lives of my wisdom-age Sisters and show them a path they can help their families. The other one is the Young Living Foundation, especially the division that works tirelessly in saving women and children from sex trafficking and modern day slavery.
What is yours?
