"Undiagnosed infertility, possibly due to environmental factors or other unknown reasons" is what the doctor told me. 
 
I was devastated. 
 
I'd always assumed that I would have babies easily — as if it was a rite of passage — but I quickly learned that many women suffer through the pain and hardship of infertility. Like those women, I started to research everything I could to boost my fertility, starting with what I put in and on my body.
 
I was then introduced to Beautycounter through a friend and have never looked back because I found the holy freaking grail of products! Seriously. They deliver on a few key promises: they’re safer, higher-performing, and totally transparent about the ingredients used.
 
Initially, when my dear friend, Caitlin, asked me to join the movement with her, I said, "NO WAY!" but I continued to shop with her for another eight months. It was then that I learned that women of color carry a significantly higher toxic load than their lighter-skinned sisters. At that point, I decided I had to do something about it, so I joined the clean beauty revolution and NEVER LOOKED BACK.
 
In Beautycounter, I was able to merge my love of health, beauty, and advocacy into a real job that paid. Since starting in 2018, I have evolved into a woman who started a wellness site, went back to school for holistic wellness, started a business, and successfully coached women to do the same — all from my computer {while having two small kids and a husband who goes wherever the Navy sends him}. All it took was a little bit of courage and a three-letter word, “YES”! Won’t you join me?
