"Don't Lose the Love You Started With": Holly Lo's doTERRA Journey

In this episode, Andy sits down with Holly, a Presidential Diamond from Ontario, Canada, for a raw, tear-filled conversation about the journey that turned a terrified, depleted mom into one of doTERRA's top leaders. Holly takes us back 14 years to the lowest point of her life: grieving her father's sudden death, recovering from a miscarriage, launching a brick-and-mortar business while pregnant, and watching her infant daughter Emma cycle in and out of the hospital with a severe, undiagnosed dairy allergy that left her lungs dangerously weak. After doctors dismissed her instincts for months, a friend showed up with a bottle of Breathe oil and asked her to just try it, launching a skeptical, cautious, one-drop-at-a-time introduction to essential oils that changed the trajectory of her family's health. From there, Holly walks through the real, unglamorous version of building a doTERRA business: teaching classes in a park because she didn't want to mix her storefront with her oils, getting her first $12 check and feeling like a millionaire, hitting Diamond with a newborn in her lap, and eventually having to close her beloved store to fully step into leadership. She's candid about the cost too, including four miscarriages in two and a half years, watching her England team dissolve when travel stopped during COVID, and the grief of team members and family scattering across the world. The conversation turns into a masterclass on sustainable, values-driven growth: why she still doesn't build through her thousands of social media followers, why she makes every new builder go through her customer education program before recruiting anyone else, and why she'd rather have 10 genuine relationships than 1,000 cold inbox leads. Her advice to a New York-based advocate feeling torn between authenticity and scaling ("quality over speed") is one of the most actionable moments of the episode. Holly closes with the line that defines her entire approach: when asked if she's "still doing doTERRA," her answer is simple. "I don't do doTERRA. This is just who I am." Key topics covered: Finding doTERRA through a personal health crisis with her daughter Building a team organically through in-person classes, not social media The customer-first philosophy behind her recruiting approach Navigating grief, pregnancy loss, and burnout while leading a team Why she ignores company "noise" and stays focused on her own business Her simple, low-tech customer education and appreciation system Advice for new builders on trust, patience, and sustainable growth

Choosing doTERRA Over Everything: Rachel Lynch's Hardest Decision

Before doTERRA, Rachel Lynch was a self-described introvert who couldn't get through the Pledge of Allegiance without sobbing. Today, she's a Presidential Diamond and Founder 2.0 leader who built her business one one-on-one conversation at a time, without ever building online. In this episode, Rachel shares the raw, unfiltered story of what it actually took to get here: nursing her son Kevin through a terrifying medical crisis when doctors offered no answers, the $21 check that convinced her she'd "made it," and the moment her family's faith community forced her to choose between her church circle and her doTERRA business. She and her husband John walked away from everything they knew, including their home of North Carolina, and started over 10-12 hours away to protect their family and stay true to what they believed in. Rachel also breaks down the mindset shift that helped her hit Presidential Diamond six months ahead of her own goal this year, why she tells her leaders "if your paycheck is shrinking, it's because you're not out changing enough lives," and how a single prayer before heading out the door has repeatedly put her in front of the exact people who needed her most. In this episode, you'll hear: How Rachel went from a terrified introvert to a confident business builder through vendor events and one-on-ones The medical scare that turned her from a skeptic ("this is voodoo") into a believer overnight Why she and her husband made a pact: hit Gold, then quit the day job, no matter how it looked to others The hardest decision of her life: choosing doTERRA over her faith community, and what it cost her family Her simple daily prayer that keeps leading her to the people who need her most How she coached a struggling leader off the ledge of quitting, days before that leader hit Gold The real story behind her 2026 Presidential Diamond push, including the tragedy that almost derailed her final push, and the miracle that didn't If you've ever doubted whether you have what it takes, whether you're "too introverted," too busy, or facing too much opposition, Rachel's story is proof that the hard seasons are often exactly what prepares you for the life you're meant to build.

The Leadership Skill Most Business Builders Overlook

What does it take to keep building when the excitement wears off or life gets hard? Sharon McDonald shares lessons from 16 years of building her doTERRA business. She explains how she went from wanting to simply use the products to intentionally building a business, reaching early ranks quickly through consistent action, workshops, mentoring, and leadership development. Sharon also opens up about navigating major personal challenges while continuing to serve her customers and team. Her message is clear: momentum matters, but so do relationships, purpose, boundaries, and resilience. Guest Information: Sharon McDonald began her doTERRA journey in 2010.

Building genuine relationships and participating in your community creates opportunities for future conversations. Consistency creates momentum. Sharon warns against repeatedly starting and stopping when building a long-term business. Leadership can be developed. Vision, competency, confidence, and a willingness to serve others are skills that can be strengthened over time. Growth needs boundaries. Sleep, nutrition, exercise, restoration, and self-care can help you maintain consistency without running yourself into the ground.

Stop Treating Your Business Like a Hobby

Caroline emphasizes being realistic about the amount of activity required to achieve ambitious business goals. Start with a clear vision. Instead of building one rank at a time, she structured her business around her longer-term goal from the beginning. Attract the people you want to work with. The topics you talk about influence the kinds of people who enter your conversations. Return to the fundamentals when you feel stuck. New conversations, new relationships, and consistent enrolling can bring fresh momentum to your business.

Your Business Grows When Your Belief Does

Tanya Cotterell didn’t start her doTERRA journey believing she was a natural salesperson. She was raising four children, running a salon, helping support her family, and already felt maxed out on time. What changed was her vision. After attending convention, Tanya made a decision to stop allowing fear and excuses to determine what was possible. She began working her business from 5:00 to 7:00 AM, teaching classes, inviting others to share, and focusing heavily on duplication. Within 10 months, she was able to close her salon. She later reached Diamond and Blue Diamond. Throughout the conversation, Tanya shares the mindset and practical business-building lessons that helped her keep moving forward. Guest Information Tanya Cotterell is a longtime doTERRA leader who has been building her business for 15 years. Her journey began during a financially challenging season for her family. What started as an experiment in sharing and teaching eventually grew into a large organization built through relationships, duplication, vision, and consistent action. Key Takeaways Stop looking for workarounds. Tanya learned that when she was avoiding something in her business, it was often because she was facing a fear. Going through the uncomfortable action instead of around it helped her move forward. Build duplication from the beginning. Tanya reached Blue Diamond with fewer than 70 personal enrollments because she focused on helping other people share, enroll, and experience an early win. Protect your belief. Your thoughts influence your feelings, actions, and ultimately your results. Be intentional about the voices you allow to shape how you see your business and what is possible. Become an initiator. Don’t wait for potential builders to identify themselves. Start conversations, ask curiosity-based questions, invite people to learn more, and become comfortable hearing no.
