How I Became Your Crazy Bag Lady

Here it is, all of it. Up until a few months ago, I was afraid to tell my story. I actually never told anyone all the ways 31 changed my life, because I didn’t want to “scare them off” with a very personal story that required some oversharing. Then I realized that I had the ability to use my story to inspire women to become whoever it is they want to be, and everything changed. So here it goes...

When I originally joined 31 in May of 2012, I had no idea what a blessing it would turn out to be later in my life. I say “later” because, to be honest, I didn’t do much during my first 5 years as a consultant. I didn’t need the extra money, so instead of working my business I just used the discount to buy gifts for friends and family. Heck, I barely remained active.

All of that changed after I got divorced. I couldn’t pay my own bills and was borrowing money from family constantly. To make matters worse, I had zero self-esteem left. If my own husband didn’t love me, how could anyone else? I was depressed, full of self-loathing, drinking myself silly, and making poor choices. Eventually I started dating a really great guy, and that helped, but I still wasn’t satisfied with myself. I had to keep borrowing money from him to pay bills, and that felt AWFUL.

So I said to my upline, I need to make this bag gig work. How do I jump back in? She said, “Go to Conference, it will be a game changer in your business.” So I did. In 2017 I went to my first Thirty-One National Conference...and girls, I ugly cried. Not he-dumped-me-so-I-need-ice-cream cried. More like Denny-from-Grey’s-died-the-same-day-I-watched-my-dog-get-hit-by-a-car cried. Here’s why...the motivational speakers were incredible. They spoke about some hard truths that really opened my eyes. Listening to Cindy Monroe talk about her vision for me was amazing. Seeing these women walk the stage to accept their Director promotions was inspiring. I realized that I was in charge of my OWN happiness, and if I wasn’t in love with myself, well, that was on me.
