Growing kiddos with big emotions and raging hormones can mean sleep struggles. ⁣

Well... I should say... it did until we found a secret weapon for the diffuser.  ⁣
⁣
Now, just a few drops of 𝗬𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 paired with 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 leads to grounded emotions, happy hormones, a refreshed night of rest, and a fresh start tomorrow. ⁣​

Ylang Ylang comes from a unique star-shaped flower with a sweet, rich scent. It’s often used as a perfume scent and is excellent for both hormone balancing as well as libido, but it also has powerful calming properties. Check out these usage tips...

Happy Friday!

Sisterhood

⁣Ladies, can we talk about the blessing of having a sisterhood...⁣
𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴.⁣


I’m talking about having a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 of like-minded sisters;⁣
those ladies who 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 no matter what;⁣
the women who 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗽 when you’re down;⁣
the people you 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝘁𝗼, not because they demand it of you.⁣
⁣
I am a girl who always struggled with friend groups.
This was magnified when I started having babies. I had my oldest when I was 19 & as you can imagine, NONE of my friends were having babies. I was basically on my own, in this new stage of life, while my friends were all off at college, living the life I thought I would have been living. ⁣

⁣They didn’t all just show up one day. I mean, a couple did. Others came to me through old hats that I no longer wear. Many were brought to me through my business.⁣

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼, 𝘀𝗼 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. ⁣
⁣
If you don’t have a crew like this... you need one. ⁣
If you’d like to link arms with me and become a part of my dōTERRA sisterhood... I’d be happy to have you. ⁣

Nature VS Nurture

2/22/2021

0 Comments

 
The topic of nature versus nurture is well-debated. During my psychology classes in college, I came to my own conclusion, as most of you probably agree, that it is a combination of BOTH; that we are the culmination of BOTH the traits and personalities that we were born with, as well as the influences of the environments and authority figures that we have come into contact with throughout our lives.
​

I had the opportunity to speak to our church at the end of 2020 on this topic...

I would love for you to check it out & listen at this link. Message (begins at 1:05:33) Then come back to comment & let me know your thoughts!

Wings For You To Soar!

The weight of motherhood; of entrepreneurship; of marriage; of time. It’s been creeping in with emotions and anxiety, for me. I know I’m not the only one. I’m supporting my brain with the highest quality supplements + best essential oils on the earth. I’m letting myself have the feelings, but I’m not letting the feelings be in charge. I’ve got big things to do and so do you!! It’s time to stop letting it weigh us down. It’s time, instead, to hold the universe on our shoulders like a pair of wings... and soar! 💜

Are YOU going to say YES???? ⁣

6 years ago, I started something. ⁣
⁣
It has been hard, but 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. As I removed the toxins in my home, I removed the toxins in my heart. As I grew as a leader, I grew as a human. To imagine my life outside of the community that I have created, makes me just a little sick. It’s truly one of the greatest 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 of my life to be partnered with the incredible individuals that this business brought me. I simply cannot fathom where I would be had I not said YES, 6 years ago. ⁣
⁣
Now I’m looking to you. ⁣
Are YOU going to say 𝘆𝗲𝘀? ⁣
Tomorrow could be the first day of the rest of your life. You could look back on December 4th as the day your life changed; the day you found financial 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺, 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 for your family’s health, and a 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 of world changers that you could link arms with. ⁣
Come on! Let’s do this. 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. ⁣

XOXO⁣

Those Were Not My People

Anyone else have that moment?⁣
I have a few that stick in my brain.⁣
⁣
Moments where someone made me feel like I was too much...⁣
Dreaming too big...⁣
Moving too fast...⁣
Talking too loud...⁣
Being too forceful...⁣
⁣
Due to my recent experiences with this (even since writing my book) here is my new plan:⁣
⁣
☝🏻I don’t revert to judgement. I give them grace. They must have had a really rough life to be spewing that kind of judgement on me.⁣
⁣
✌🏻I listen, but I don’t absorb. I can HEAR their words & quickly assess if it’s something I need to listen to... or if it’s just their issues that they are projecting onto me. ⁣
⁣
👌🏻I thank them for their concern, then go about my business. If any part of what they said was worthy of my reflection, then that’s something I assess between myself, my husband, and Jesus. To be frank, it’s just not anyone else’s concern! ⁣
⁣
Shine! 🌟⁣
Sparkle! ✨⁣
Be who you were created to be! 🔥⁣
We may be too much for some people, but remember...⁣
Those👏🏻
Are👏🏻
Not👏🏻
Our👏🏻
People👏🏻

STRENGTH STORY

12/1/2020

Did you know, that there’s only a 1 in 131 BILLION chance that there will be another person with the same exact strengths that you possess? ⁣
YOU are 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲! ⁣
You 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 be duplicated! ⁣
⁣
This past week I created something I’ve been avoiding and I’d like to share it with you all. ⁣
⁣
This is my Strengths Story...⁣
⁣
My name is Kourtney Walker-Owens, and I do everything in a way that honors my desire to move people forward.⁣
How I do that is by inspiring others with my visions of the future. I seek to take someone’s strengths and transform them into something even more superb. When faced with road blocks or different scenarios, I can easily spot relevant patterns or issues and create alternative ways to proceed that can still move toward the desired goal. I want to do important, impactful, and significant things in the world. I have the unique ability to prioritize actions and then act, always staying on track with goals. I find it easy to put my thoughts into words through writing and presenting. I can, and will, make things happen by taking thoughts or ideas and turning those into action. I don’t sit around and wait. I love winning others over. I get great satisfaction from making true connections with people. I am intrigued with the unique qualities of each person and have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively. I have an enthusiasm that is contagious. I am always on the lookout for the positives in every situation! ⁣
And I do all of this better than anyone else on the planet!⁣
⁣
When we know 𝘄𝗵𝗼 we are and what 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 we bring to the table, we are able to step into our authentic selves. When we function through this authenticity, our lives begin to flow more easily. ⁣
⁣
Know who you are. ⁣
Remember who you are. ⁣
Love who you are.

PS
Thanks for the endless inspiration, @unleash_your_strengths

β€œPerhaps you were made for such a time as this”⁣

The Biblical story of Esther has always resonated with me. I mean. I literally named my daughter after this powerful woman in the Bible. 😆 Well. Last week, this shirt came in the mail from @ellyandgrace and my eyes instantly welled up with tears. I had ordered a couple weeks ago, knowing I would love it, but when I saw the words across the front... ⁣
⁣
“Perhaps you were made for such a time as this”⁣
⁣
...it was like God was speaking those words right to my heart, as I stood in my kitchen.⁣
⁣
That reminder was exactly what I needed as I basically re-launch my business this next week and shoot for a huge, 6-years-coming kinda goal over the next 4 months. 💎 I was made for this. I am brave enough, smart enough, talented enough, and prepared enough. I have everything I need. I will persevere, day after day. I will lay this great feat at 𝘏𝘪𝘴 feet. I will have favor, every step of the way. ⁣Everything is coming together.
⁣
Don’t forget. There are tasks and goals and moments that you were literally MADE FOR. Follow your heart. Listen to Spirit. And let’s do the things that have our names written 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 them.
XOXO

Faith > Fear

Faith > Fear⁣
⁣
It’s the theme I run into often {read: daily} as a mom, wife, entrepreneur, leader, and HUMAN. And right now, you better believe it’s a constant struggle. But I have a choice. ⁣
⁣
Do I choose to 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 my vibration, my immune system, my emotions, and my mental capacity? Because whether we like it or not, THAT IS WHAT 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥 DOES. ⁣
⁣
Or...⁣
Do I choose to 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 that vibe, boost that immune system, heal my body and emotions, and kick my brain up a notch just by leaning into 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛? Faith is believing in the unseen; hoping when it feels hopeless; seeing something that no one else can see. ⁣
⁣
“Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you!”⁣
⁣
I’ll see you that quote (that 9/10 entrepreneurs have on their vision board) and raise you the power of another person believing 𝘞𝘐𝘛𝘏 you. ⁣
I’ll believe with you. I’ll hope with you.⁣
What are you holding onto faith for right now? ⁣

    I am a mommy of  SEVEN (yes 7) beautiful kids! They are amazing, wonderful, hilarious & the greatest babies I could ask for! I am married to my best friend & high school sweetheart, Michael. 

    In 2010 I began a blog as an outlet for my writing... and also to talk about how cute my kids were. I had no idea where it would take me. In 2012, after the birth of our 5th child, we began Wonderfully Made Birth. That same year, we received an Autism diagnosis for our 3rd child. A year later, in 2013, we joined doTERRA International as Wellness Advocates. The journey is not easy, but it is ours. Join me as I record our crazy life, inspire other mommas, & laugh along the way!

    Interests​
    I love to craft. I love to decorate. I am passionate about natural living & natural birthing. Sometimes I write stuff. I plan parties like my life depended on it. My favorite color is pink. My house is definitely NOT taupe. I typically cannot keep plants alive. I am only allowed to have dogs as pets because all others tend to have the same end result as the plants. Luckily my track record with kids is pretty good! Also, I drink a lot of coffee. And I really like tacos.
