Arbonne International LLC

If you are in a NAGIC, you should be the first one that jumps in.

If you are in Arbonne, you should be the first one that jumps in.

If you are a content coach, if you are a Pinterest expert, if you do websites or funnels or any of those things, because people need those things in my world.

And if we have 27 gut health coaches, it gets a little watered down.

So let me just give a little bit of context on Missy and we'll kind of get into your story.

So Missy is a national vice president with Arbonne.

She's been in the profession for over two decades.

She's built to the highest levels, raised six kids while doing it, which is no small feat, and has led hundreds of women over her career.

Cause here's the thing, like what most people call burnout and that is partially true, but I think what's underneath burnout is disconnection.

I think a lot of leaders get to a point where they have pulled back emotionally, they feel burned out, and then they get to a point where they still feel called and they're like, I'm ready to get back into the business, but they don't know how, and we think it's a strategy problem.

I don't know what to do, right? And I think- And you even said to me, I think in our first call, you said, if I'm honest, I don't know that I ever would have posted on social media if not for Arbonne.

Right.

It's just another grit.

It's the same people who would have been fucking selling Arbonne or whatever fucking multi-level marketing fucking scam.

It's the same thing.

At the end of the day, the product doesn't matter.

In my day-to-day role, I serve the sustainability community as the co-chair of the Supervisor Advisory Board for the International B Corporation Beauty Coalition, which is an industry affiliation of all the amazing B Corps within the beauty space.

And then my role is with Arbonne as the Vice President of Sustainability, where I lead up all of their sustainability projects.

initiatives for our own beauty, personal care and nutrition products.

So I'm really excited to be here to deep dive on the good, the bad and the ugly, as you said, and really the opportunity of the beauty industry to be a force for good for people and the planet.

To serve human skin, to serve human beauty, etc.

When you're growing plants, the soil that they're growing in, the practices of the growing and the farming impact the plants themselves.

And we especially see this within the nutrition side of our business at Arbonne.

is you can see a bioaccumulation of pesticides, of toxins, of heavy metals within this soil itself.

This Chloe bag that was super special and cute.

Like I could start allowing myself to worry about all of those things, okay? And the reason I'm pointing this out is because how many of you are already like, like if I lost Louis Vuitton, like my favorite shoes, the money I spent on the clothes, like do you get what I'm saying? The special gifts that Arbonne had given us, right? Like those were in that bag.

So all of these things that you could be freaking out about.

I'm bringing this up because this is the perfect example of faith, patience, trust, and surrender.

But there's this other layer with everyone you've spoken to.

How would you be able to, and I know you talk a little bit about this in the book, how do you talk about or how would you guys articulate what that something is? Like they can't put their finger on it, but is that consistent across the board with everyone you've talked about? Where you're like, I see all the good things about this organization that they're part of, whether it's SoulCycle or Arbonne or...

you know, landmark, like things that are very like in common vernacular, whether it's religious or otherwise.

When you're listening to the people you've interviewed, is there a common thing that their family members or somebody is saying that they're like, it was just something, it just was a little bit off.

And yeah, so I had been seven years out of like that formal workforce and had been a happy stay at home mom running kind of side hustles, making dog biscuits.

I joined Arbonne, like doing just things.

I cleaned a couple of houses at one point.

Anyways, I remember when I finally made the decision, what did it was I was talking to my older son's grade two teacher and her and she, we were quite close because I volunteered at the school quite a bit.

Yeah.

So when I stepped into network marketing, I was with a company called Arbonne, which you're probably familiar with.

There was so many people.

opportunities for personal growth as I was growing up the ranks.

Mm.

So what I mean by this is, like, maybe you're selling, let's just use Arbonne for an example.

Maybe you're trying to tell them every single day about these energy sticks, and you're talking on your stories, and you're over and over and over about it, but people don't know if they have a problem with energy.

They might just be like, "Oh, yeah, I'm a mom.

I guess it was earlier in the year, this year, right? Maybe it's been six months or so now.

But Annie has, she's built an incredible business with Arbonne.

She's been with them for 13 years, a regional vice president.

And, you know, pretty remarkable, Annie, over 13 years in an industry that people generally don't last more than a couple.

And I was, I was probably a little bit annoyed that someone had given out my number.

Um, but to be polite, I said, yes, I'd have a look at the information and yes, I'd try some of the products.

And obviously 13 years on, um, it just, when I heard the information and I tried the products, I actually, it was like, I dreamt of Arbonne that night.

So I began to dream again and, um, And I had lost a little bit of that in my teaching career.
