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!
