I am the mom to 4 beautiful children inside and out under the age of 4. Yes under the age of 4! Prior to HAVING children I was a former full scholarship collegiate athlete. I earned 2 masters degrees in both education and administration. I spent the first 12 years of my professional career working as a teacher and administrator until I decided to stay at home with my children.

Ok, full disclosure. That just sounded well, way too easy. My life has been anything BUT easy as I’m sure many people reading this can say the same thing about their own. The reason being, life is anything BUT easy.
Just one month before my mom died, she said “Amy, whatever you do, just don’t give up your job. Don’t give up your job”.
Well, as many of you know, 4 months later… My dad joined my mom in heaven. For the remainder of 2013 I was a young, numb, very lost soul within the body of a new mommy. My journey continues and evolves and I’ve worked EXTREMELY HARD to get to where I am today but every day is a struggle. I know first hand how in a matter of seconds, your life, as you know it, can completely BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES. This was something I learned about when I was 4 and my mom had her very first stroke. Fortunately, for me, I continue to find things in life that make me excited, that help me stay healthy physically and mentally, and allow me to dream about the future, appreciate my present, and move forward from my past. I know this would be impossible if I didn’t have an amazing support network of amazing friends, family and “teammates”.
As a parent of 4 young children my “free” time is far and few between. THERE isn’t enough time in my day to balance an office job and accomplish all that I need to accomplish at home with my young family.
MY HUSBAND GAVE ME A GIFT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. LITTLE DID HE KNOW, THAT THIS GIFT TO HELP HIS “9 month preggers-already momma of 3” feel better about herself would turn into a major blessing in our lives. He knew I was struggling. He knew I didn’t feel good about myself. He knew I had aged physically and mentally throughout the course of what life had most recently presented to me. This “gift” turned into a decision in March of 2015.

I not only wanted to feel and look young but I wanted to contribute in a big way to achieve financial freedom for my family. I know that my dream of financial freedom is a reality as I have already witnessed one of my college teammates and her sister achieve some incredible goals. They are well on their way to achieving financial freedom for their families and I continue to see close friends join them in that success EVERY DAY.
My Journey with a new business venture began in March after I fell in love with a brand of skin care products, witnessed my own incredible results and wanted to be a part of this incredible family. I have seen first hand how these products can transform your skin, change your confidence and increase your wallet size.
