O u r R e a s o n W h y - I was t i r e d. Not only was I looking for some safer things to use around our house with our new little baby boy, but I was desperately looking for support in all areas of my life. Energy, sleep, overall health, mood, emotions, you name it, I wanted something to work. Being a new first time mom can be so overwhelming. That was the first time I ordered a kit of oils. I used them frequently, loved the support myself and new baby we’re getting, but big life events, moves, and plain ole life happening, I would forget to keep reaching for them and they became less of a habit for us. .
Flash forward to Spring 2018, I had my first miscarriage. From emergency ER visits, emergency surgeries, infections, and pretty much everything that could go wrong with a miscarriage, happened. My world felt literally out of control. I have had minor anxiety most of my adult life, but those few months of walking through this, my anxiety was the absolute worst it had been in my entire life, to the point where I couldn’t do things around the house or get in my car and drive without having major anxiety attacks.
1. I needed Jesus. I would cry out to him every single day and just beg to feel like myself again and to feel normal. It was a long process of healing and being met with love, and He showed up time and time again, just like He always does.
2. I desperately needed some emotional support. I was prescribed an antidepressant to help with my anxiety attacks, and while I’m never ashamed to say I have used medication, and feel so thankful for what medication did for me in those months, I knew I never wanted it to be a long term thing, because I still didn’t feel completely myself on them. During this whole journey, I would randomly dig out my oils I had gotten from years before and use them for support with all the things, and one day things started clicking for me.

What were these things that I was reaching for in these times of my life? I noticed that during hard seasons, times of sickness, times of grief, I would find my self trying to dig these oils out of my cupboards and get the support I needed... (More in comments)
