I can’t believe it’s been 28 years this month since I first encountered the Young Living essential oils and oil-infused products. What an incredible journey it’s been for me since then.

There’s never a day that goes by when I don’t have myself anointed with oils, or cleaning my home and body with the Thieves range, or adding a culinary essential oil to a food recipe, or drinking my NingXia Red (nowadays I have it in the form of The Red Drink), or using the beautiful bath & shower gels and soaps and skin care.

I love that the Young Living products work so effectively to keep us healthy, are kind on the environment, and are safe for ourselves and our human and animal family. 

I truly believe there is an essential oil or oil-infused product for every single challenge life can throw at us. 

So how about this challenge? When life takes you waaaaayyyyy out of your comfort zone, offering an opportunity that is huge and incredible but utterly scary at the same time, what would you use to support you through it? 

This week, I want to share with you my personal journey, and the oils I’m reaching for. Whether you have a child studying for a major exam or ready to compete in a big sports tournament, or you have a new job opportunity that’s inviting you to step into an unfamiliar but very exciting role, this bulletin is for you. Enjoy!

When opportunity knocks….do you say “yes!!!”?

In December 2025, I received a phone call from someone I’ve known professionally for over 20 years. It was an invitation to be part of a US documentary called “The New Woo”, showcasing how natural therapies and spirituality used to be considered “woo woo”, but now has a growing following and science is catching up with the proof. 

I felt the lift of excitement in my heart. What an incredible opportunity to speak about essential oils, and also about spirituality. 

So I said “yes”!!!

What an incredible opportunity to speak about essential oils, and also about spirituality!!!

That was the easy part, right? Saying yes to an amazing opportunity is easy. But then there’s the human part of the journey as well. 

This documentary will be distributed globally, and seen by 50+ million people. To say I am “only excited” would be a lie. I am both excited (off the charts excited!) and off the charts terrified. 

I am a natural introvert, so although I am natural as a presenter, I do get a lot of nerves before I speak. Any of you who have seen me up on stage presenting so confidently at Young Living events would have no idea of the nerves that come up for me beforehand. I tend to withdraw, and go into my own space, and become quite anti-social while I manage my own head space. 

This opportunity is no different. It’s challenging me to step waaaaayyyyy out of my comfort zone. It’s caused me to look in the mirror of my own insecurities, and let trust be my guide. Because if I listened to the insecurities, I’d never have said yes. 

But this isn’t the only huge thing I’ve said yes to. It’s been the catalyst, but there’s been a whole domino effect since then. I engaged an amazing PR firm, Unstoppable Branding Agency (UBA), and they have organised other events for me to compliment what I’m doing in the documentary. 

So on 1^st October 2026, I’ll be up on the WILD-x stage at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills California, presenting a 10 minute talk in front of a panel of judges and an audience, in what’s promoted as “The America’s Got Talent for Presenters”. 

The filming of the documentary happens 4 weeks later, in Seattle. 

Yet the fun doesn’t stop there. I was also chosen as #1 in the USA Today high impact awards, for the top 5 healing leaders creating extraordinary impact in 2026. What an honour! The awards take place on 1^st December in Los Angeles.

I’d love to take you along on my journey!

The 6 Oils I have by my side

Yes, I definitely need my oils by my side during this journey! Here are my top 5 that are helping me reach for the skies:

Original Valor

I notice that strong emotions like excitement and terror take me out of my body, and into my head. This is where Valor oil comes to the rescue. I put 3 drops under each foot, and hold my left hand to my left foot, and my right hand to my right foot. We call this a “Valor Balance”. It’s also the oil I’ll be lathering on myself before I get up on the WILDx stage, and before I walk into the interview for the documentary.

Valor is our rescue remedy of essential oils. It contains oils that the Roman soldiers used to wear into battle. It creates feelings of strength and confidence – an “I can do this” attitude to life. It also has the same frequency as our skeleton, reminding us to stand straight and tall.

Lemon & Peppermint

Because the documentary has a global audience, I must ensure that any claims I make are backed by science. I’m enjoying deep diving into research around how essential oils work on the human body, to ensure that what I say is 100% accurate, and backed by credible science. That takes a lot of concentration!

So I need a helping hand from my oils.

As I prep for this section of the documentary, I’m diffusing 10 drops of Lemon and 3 drops of Peppermint. Both have been shown to improve concentration and reduce errors in an office environment. I notice they help my mind stay sharper on any type of mental task and studying. I’ll be bringing those two oils with me to the interview, to smell before I get on set to help me with memory recall. This is a great tip for anyone studying. Whatever oil you diffuse when studying, use that same oil in your assessment. 

Inspiration & Rose

These are the two oils I’m using when I prep for my talk for the WILDx stage, and for the spiritual interview in the documentary. For these two talks, I don’t need to be so mentally accelerated. But I do need inspiration, and I do need heart. These talks are designed to connect emotionally with my audience.

I’ve found that putting a drop of Inspiration oil on my third eye (just above the centre of my eyebrows) allows information to channel through me from a higher source. And the Rose oil on my heart is to keep my energy very anchored into my heart as I bring that inspiration through. It’s my magic combination – my secret weapon – that I’ve been using for over 20 years, including when I was working as a psychic.

Believe

Yes, this is one of those times where I need a whole ocean of Believe oil, to trust in myself, and to believe in my own ability to pull this off with grace and ease. When I was at the Fuller Life Centre in Bali, Frances Fuller would give us a Believe shower every day. What’s a Believe shower? It’s the act of sprinkling Believe oil on your crown, to open us up to believing in ourselves.

Yes, I could use Highest Potential as well, but strangely, that’s not an oil that calls me. But Believe oil does, so I’m trusting in that. This beautiful blend contains Idaho Balsam Fir, Coriander, Bergamot, Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Ylang Ylang and Geranium. I remember Gary Young sharing how uplifting he found the combination of Idaho Balsam Fir and Frankincense. It’s great to see those two oils represented in this blend.

My other tool in my tool belt

I’ll be doing a lot of flying, so I want my health in tip top condition. Even before I hop on those planes, I’m wanting to keep my energy levels high, as I’m putting in long hours of preparation, alongside of my normal day-to-day Young Living activities, like writing bulletins, running classes, and helping people to learn about our range of oils and oil-infused products.

So in addition to my oils, I have The Red Drink, which is made using NingXia Red, Sulfurzyme and Lime oil. I would never want to be without this drink – it’s the ultimate way that I support my health and energy throughout every day. I drink this twice a day, and my body thrives on it. And if I do need an extra energy pep-up in the day, I will either use a straight shot of NingXia Red, or I’ll have a can of Zyng.

I trust this gives you and your loved ones some great tips for those times that you are doing something extraordinary, and need some extra help by your side to help settle those nerves, improve your focus, and believe in the incredible person that you are.
