Behind the Scenes: What I Actually Do Each Day in My Direct Sales Business

When people hear I work in direct sales, they often assume I just post on social media and wait for orders to roll in.
But the truth? Thereโ€™s a whole rhythm, purpose, and heart behind what I do and itโ€™s so much more than sharing pretty graphics or product photos.

So today, I wanted to pull back the curtain and show you a real look at what my day-to-day actually looks like in this business I love. Whether youโ€™re curious about what I do, considering a similar path, or just want to know how this kind of work fits into real life (especially mom life), this is for you.


๐Ÿ’Œ Building Relationships First

At the heart of everything I do is service. Iโ€™m not here to sell a product and disappear. Iโ€™m here to help people feel better, naturally and confidently.

That looks like:

  • Checking in with customers after they receive their orders
  • Recommending personalized product routines
  • Answering questions about ingredients, clean swaps, or how to use CBD safely
  • Sending thank-you messages and reminders so people know they are seen and supported

These little touches matter. They build trust. And they remind me daily that this business isnโ€™t about sales… itโ€™s about impact.


๐Ÿ“š Educating Myself to Better Serve Others

Every day, I carve out a little time to learn. That might mean listening to a podcast while folding laundry, diving into product education, or brushing up on ingredient research.

In the world of wellness, clean beauty, and natural solutions, thereโ€™s always something new to explore. And the more I learn, the better I can simplify it for others, especially other busy moms who donโ€™t have time to research every label or trend.


๐Ÿ“ฒ Creating Content That Matters

Yes, I post on social media, but itโ€™s not random. My content is rooted in what Iโ€™ve personally learned, used, and believe in.

Each week I create posts that:

  • Educate (think: CBD myths, ingredient swaps, wellness tips)
  • Inspire (real-life mom moments, freedom stories, encouragement)
  • Invite (sharing promotions, events, or how others can join me)

Itโ€™s never about pressure. Itโ€™s about offering value and helping someone take one step closer to living a cleaner, more empowered life.


๐Ÿง  Staying Consistent with Systems (Even as a Busy Mom)

Some days are chaos. Between homeschool, dishes, and unexpected meltdowns (from the kidsโ€ฆ or me ๐Ÿ˜‚), my business happens in the in-between moments.

Thatโ€™s why I lean on simple systems:
โœ”๏ธ Daily task lists
โœ”๏ธ Weekly planning sessions
โœ”๏ธ Dedicated work time
โœ”๏ธ Content batching when I can

These help me stay on track without burning out and give me space to still be fully present as a mom.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Engaging and Connecting

Social media is social. I donโ€™t just post and ghost. I genuinely connect with people. That looks like:

  • Replying to DMs and comments
  • Celebrating wins with customers and teammates
  • Answering wellness questions
  • Connecting with other like-minded mamas and women who value clean living

These conversations are what fuel me most because they remind me Iโ€™m not just talking into the void. Iโ€™m building community.


๐ŸŽ‰ Supporting My Team

One of my favorite parts of this business is locking arms with others who are building something meaningful too. I mentor others who are just getting started, lead team challenges, answer questions, and cheer people on every step of the way.

Seeing others find confidence, freedom, and success in this business *on their own terms* is one of the most rewarding things Iโ€™ve ever been part of.


This Business Fits Into My Life… Not the Other Way Around

What I love most is that this business doesnโ€™t require me to sacrifice my values, my family time, or my sanity.
Itโ€™s flexible, fulfilling, and allows me to work in alignment with my heart, on my own time, with my own voice.

If youโ€™ve ever wondered if you could do something like this: whether for the discount, the community, or the impact, Iโ€™d love to chat.
No pressure. Just an open door.

Because if I can do this in the messy middle of motherhood, you can too.

What Moms Really Want for Motherโ€™s Day (Hint: It’s Not a Mug)

Thereโ€™s a running joke among moms that every Motherโ€™s Day gift is either a mug that says โ€œBest Mom Everโ€ or a candle with a generic scent and a tag someone else filled out. And while we appreciate the sentiment (and yes, we are the best moms ever), most of us crave something much deeper:

Rest. Relaxation. And a moment to ourselves.

Letโ€™s be honest โ€” motherhood is the most beautiful, exhausting, emotionally-charged job on the planet. Whether youโ€™re a mom of littles who hasnโ€™t had an uninterrupted nightโ€™s sleep in years, or a seasoned mama still doing all the things for everyone around her, one universal truth stands: we are tired.

This year, instead of flowers that wilt or a brunch reservation that still requires wrangling toddlers, give the moms (and mothers of your children) in your life what they really want: a reason to exhale.

Introducing: The Motherโ€™s Day Relaxation Bundle

Available now through May 11th (or while supplies last)

This limited-edition bundle is like a warm hug, a deep breath, and a โ€œgo take a napโ€ โ€” all wrapped into one beautifully curated gift. Itโ€™s thoughtfully designed to support rest, relaxation, and radiant health from the inside out.

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s inside:


๐Ÿซ 3 Weeks of Chocolate Collagen

Yes, chocolate. This delicious, dairy-free collagen isnโ€™t just a treat โ€” itโ€™s a functional beauty and wellness supplement designed to support skin, hair, joints, and gut health. Every mom deserves to glow from the inside out.


๐ŸŒฟ Unwind Jellies

Think of these as stress relief in a gummy. Infused with clean hemp and calming botanicals, Unwind Jellies help ease tension, support mood balance, and encourage those “I can breathe again” moments we all crave after a long day.


๐ŸŒ™ Sleep Jellies

Because counting sheep just isnโ€™t cutting it. These jellies are packed with clean CBN to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like a human (not a zombie).


๐Ÿ˜ด A Silky Sleep Mask

Light-blocking, ultra-soft, and surprisingly luxurious. Itโ€™s the finishing touch to create a peaceful bedtime routine that actually works โ€” because letโ€™s face it, most moms havenโ€™t bought anything for themselves in months.


๐Ÿ’ฐ And the Best Part?

Itโ€™s almost HALF OFF retail price and ships free โ€” so you can gift generously without the guilt.

Whether youโ€™re shopping for your mom, your sister, your spouse, or yourself (because, letโ€™s be real, you deserve this), this bundle is the perfect way to say:

โ€œYou give so much. This is just for you.โ€


๐ŸŒธ Donโ€™t Wait

This bundle is only available through May 11th or while supplies last โ€” and last yearโ€™s Mother’s Day specials sold out fast.

Let this be the year we stop asking moms what they want and start giving them what they actually need:
Better sleep. Less stress. And a little bit of chocolate.

I Yelled Today. Then I Cried. Then I Hugged Them Tighter.

img_4976

Mom confession:
I yelled today.
Then I cried.
Then I hugged them tighter.

It wasnโ€™t the moment I wanted.
It wasnโ€™t the version of me Iโ€™m proud of.
But it was real.

Motherhood has a way of holding both the most beautiful and the most overwhelming moments in the exact same day. Sometimes the same hour.

I lost my patience over something smallโ€”maybe it was the constant noise, the spilled juice, the backtalk, the mess I cleaned for the fifth time. But it wasnโ€™t just that moment. It was the mental load Iโ€™d been carrying all day. All week. Maybe longer.

And once again, I found myself in that place of frustration…
where the tears come right after the yelling.
The guilt creeps in fast.
The shame whispers, โ€œYou should be better at this.โ€

But hereโ€™s what Iโ€™m reminding myself of:

We are human.
We are growing.
And our kids are learning through our imperfections, not in spite of them.

So I apologized.
I hugged them.
I started over.

And then, I took a moment for me.


Because Iโ€™ve learned that when I donโ€™t pour into myself, I pour out stress.

Iโ€™ve had to get really honest about how Iโ€™m supporting my nervous system. And not just with bubble baths or locking myself in the bathroom for five minutes (although letโ€™s be honest… Iโ€™ve done that too ๐Ÿ™ƒ).

Iโ€™ve started building in daily rhythms that help me feel more groundedโ€”especially on the hard days. Things like:

  • Taking my CBD regularly to support a calm mood
  • Sipping adaptogenic mushroom tea to help manage stress
  • Saying yes to hydration and no to perfection
  • Getting outside, even if itโ€™s just for 10 minutes
  • Checking in with my breath before I check my phone

These small things donโ€™t erase the chaos. But they help me show up better in it.
And on the days I still lose my cool?
I come back to grace. Again and again.

If youโ€™ve ever had a moment like mineโ€”where you yelled, then cried, then hugged tighterโ€”I see you. Youโ€™re not alone.

Youโ€™re not failing.
Youโ€™re just a mom who cares deeply.
And caring is exhausting sometimes.

Give yourself a little more compassion today.
And if you’re looking for natural ways to support your stress and show up with more calm and clarityโ€”Iโ€™d love to share whatโ€™s helped me. ๐Ÿ’›

โœจMy 2025 Mood? Peaceful.โœจ

As a mom juggling all the things, peace doesnโ€™t just happenโ€”itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve had to be intentional about. This year, Iโ€™ve committed to showing up for myself so I can better show up for my family. One of my biggest helpers in maintaining my sanity? My Green Compass Nano Jellies.

These tiny but mighty jellies are my daily reminder to breathe, stay grounded, and keep my cool no matter what chaos is unfolding around me. Theyโ€™re more than just a supplementโ€”theyโ€™re part of my self-care routine.

What Are Green Compass Nano Jellies?

Green Compass Nano Jellies are not your average CBD gummy. Theyโ€™re formulated using nanotechnology, which breaks down CBD particles into smaller, more bioavailable sizes. This means your body absorbs them faster and more efficiently, making them one of the most effective ways to experience the calming benefits of CBD.

Here are some quick facts about these jellies:

  • Organic & Clean Ingredients: As with all Green Compass products, the Nano Jellies are crafted with USDA-certified organic hemp and clean, natural ingredients you can trust.
  • Nano-Emulsified CBD: This advanced technology enhances absorption, so you get maximum benefits in less time.
  • Supports Calm & Focus: Each jelly is carefully formulated to help reduce stress, promote a balanced mood, and support mental clarity.
  • Convenient & Delicious: Theyโ€™re easy to take on the go, and letโ€™s be honestโ€”they taste great!

How They Fit Into My Day

Life as a mom is full of surprisesโ€”some wonderful, othersโ€ฆ a little more chaotic. These jellies help me approach those moments with a sense of calm I didnโ€™t realize how badly I needed until I started taking them. Whether Iโ€™m navigating a tough day with the kids, tackling a mountain of work, or simply trying to carve out a little me time, these jellies keep me centered.

Why I Trust Green Compass

Iโ€™ve always been picky about what I put into my body, and Green Compass makes it easy to feel confident in my choices. Their commitment to clean, organic products and transparency sets them apart. Every batch of their hemp is grown in the U.S. under the strictest standards, and the third-party testing ensures the highest quality.

A Peaceful Year Starts Here

If youโ€™ve been looking for a natural way to support your mood, focus, and overall wellness, I canโ€™t recommend Green Compass Nano Jellies enough. Theyโ€™ve been a game-changer for my mental health and a lifesaver for navigating busy mom life.

Hereโ€™s to creating a peaceful, intentional 2025โ€”one jelly at a time.
