Christmas has come and gone in a flash (seriously, where did that time go?!), and the new year has arrived – full of possibility and promise. As I sit down to reflect, I can’t help but feel excited for what lies ahead. 2025 has started well, and is going to be a year of faith, growth, and transformation—not just for me, but for the incredible souls I’ll get to connect with along the way too. Every year is amazing, last year was extraordinary and as I start to experience my late 50’s and all that goes with that, the struggles and sadness and loss everyone goes through, I still believe I have so much to be grateful for.
Starting the Year with Purpose in Mind
This year, I’m starting with one simple but powerful intention, as I did last year: putting God first in everything I do. Not a lot of people know this, but since the day I was regenerated in Christ, I have spent 4 solid years deep in theology – listening to Dr John MacArthur almost daily, sometimes – many times – twice a day. Whenever I feel low moods start to creep in, or just getting groceries or headed out to the highway, I’ll fill 15-20 mins with scripture and solid exegesis in the car; when I’m travelling first class on Emirates or in the backseat on the way to my Dad’s, I’ll listen to it any chance I get.
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
– Romans 10:17
It is well known that Faith comes through hearing. And certainly staying in the Word has helped me move through some pretty wretched times. It keeps me grounded especially through the last few years, and I am so unbelievably grateful for everything He provides. So this year, my focus has been committing to reading the Bible from cover to cover (I’m on day 4—already learning so much!). I’m also celebrating a huge milestone in my health journey. As many of you know, last year I completely reversed the diabetes II diagnosis I received late in 2023. It was something else I committed to, and was able to resolve—something I still find myself thanking God for daily. It’s a reminder of the power of consistency, faith, and making aligned choices for our bodies and minds. And now, helping others means my focus and experience truly does make a difference. But the work doesn’t stop there! This year, building on the skills I’ve gained, continuing my journey of wellness, my goal is to integrate all I have learned to create some practical resources that will help you overcome these challenges as well, and help others do the same. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that transformation is something we’re meant to share—it’s not just about me but about creating ripple effects that inspire and uplift others.
What’s Next?
1. Creating Transformational Resources, Workshops and Retreats – Whether you’re on a health journey, seeking purpose, or building a Kingdom-focused business, I’m crafting tools and opportunities both online and in person that will empower you to achieve breakthroughs of your own, overcome your own health challenges, or even create a business that lets you walk your talk!
2. Celebrating Milestones – This year marks 10 incredible years with dōTERRA. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless transformations—not just in my own health, but in my husband and others as well. One thing I have learned is that milestones come as a result of our mindset. And living a life on purpose is where its at! It’s been an honour to guide others toward healthier, more vibrant lives, and I’m excited to take that impact even further this year.
3. Building Community – I’m on the lookout for those who feel called to step into something bigger this year. If you’re ready to say no to big brands and get rid of the toxic overload in the home (physically and emotional), crushing the brand addictions and moving to a better way to live, I’ve got you covered. Or you may prefer to commit to doing what I did: building a purpose-driven business in line with the mission to help the world heal, and create a life that aligns with your values, so you can get focused on what’ s important in your world. Sound amazing? It is – and I want to connect with you.
Unfinished Business
As much as I loved 2024, I excited to continue the unfinished business in 2025. I learned so much, I travelled a lot (again)! I got to visit dōTERRA’s opening in Dubai which was a real honour, and then journey again to Cairo for a week. This time, I spent a lot of time in the Christian district and down at a beautiful natural reserve, at a place called Lake Fayoum to scope out my next Biblical Tour of Egypt. We travelled to the Kimberley Region to visit dōTERRA’s Sandalwood plantation – what an eye opener that was! And we had cause to support Dismantle, an amazing outreach program for disadvantaged youth in Kununurra. Life is such a gift and while not everything happens exactly as we plan (a wise person once said if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!). Sometimes, life can be full of reminders that growth is also about remaining patient. There are layers to uncover, lessons to learn, and opportunities to embrace in God’s perfect timing.

Who’s ready for a Year of Faith, Growth, and Breakthroughs
This year, like the last few, I’m trusting God to lead every step of the way. I know His plans are greater than mine, and I’m ready to embrace the challenges and victories ahead. I’m also ready for the lessons and the growth that come along the way, and I love that I get to do this with like minded souls!
Would you like to join me as an Impact Advocate in 2025?
As I step into 2025, my heart remains focused on helping others heal and thrive. If this blog resonated with you, I invite you to join me—not only in living with intention but also in giving back to those who struggle with a myriad of challenges. This is just some of the amazing work we get to do as part of our involvement in dōTERRA either individually or collectively with our teams!
This year I have selected Liberty Services Port Macquarie as our Team charity partner with dōTERRA’s Healing Hands. Located not far from where dōTERRA’s Tea Tree is grown and harvested, their focus is to help empower and support families impacted by domestic violence. By coming together with Liberty Services as our charity partner, we will not only have the chance to impact lives, but we have also had approval to have our efforts match funded by dōTERRA. This means that we will be able to double our impact knowing all we do will have far reaching consequences for Australians in need. This is what it means to create impact.
