Hey pal, and welcome back to I’ve Got Your Back the podcast.
This week’s episode is a special one. I'm taking you right back to where it all began - my journey with Arbonne. It’s been sixteen years since I first said yes, and I honestly can’t believe it!!
To help me mark the moment, I asked my dear friend Meg McLean put me in the hot seat. It felt only right - she was the one who first reached out to me about the business all those years ago.
We also recorded this one in a real-life studio for the first time, which made it all the more special. Huge thanks to Mark Edwards at @flatwhitemusic for making us feel so welcome and at ease!
We cover a lot in this episode. The early days. The doubts. The desire. The handwritten vision boards. We talk about what made me say yes, why I kept going, and what this business has taught me - not just about leadership and consistency, but about people, purpose, and trust.
Inside, we explore:
- How a chance message turned into a sixteen-year career
- Why saying yes came down to a gut feeling I couldn’t ignore
- Building a business before social media was really a thing
- What happened when people doubted me - and why that pushed me further
- The decision to treat Arbonne like a business (not just a hobby)
- Building in seasons - and learning to lead through the tough ones
- The retreat that brought everything full circle
- What it means to create something that genuinely puts people first
This episode is an honest look behind the scenes - not just of a business, but of a life shaped by the decision to say yes before I knew what that yes really meant!
