Full Time to MY Time

From Left to Right: CBD Oil - Large CBD Oil - Small Pain Blend - Large Pain Blend - Small

by Angela Chapendeka

I worked in the Information Technology industry for ten years, mainly on the Service Desk. My husband and I worked from home for about a year with the covid-19 pandemic. Our son was just five months old when the pandemic began. Together we juggled days and nights that put tremendous strain on our relationship – Hubby would handle our son from 06:30 AM until I logged off later in the afternoon. He would have to log in later in the day. During that time, we alternated between changing diapers, feedings, meetings, random calls, and focusing on his work (he is an RTA). I responded to logged requests and spoke with users/colleagues to resolve problems as they arose. My strained marriage and watching my son pass milestones without me led me to resign. I decided to focus on my relationship with my family and build a Tupperware business part-time. I enjoyed 'doing nothing' and spending time with my son. Our bond grew this way, and I felt that this was best for his emotional well-being as well as my own. After moving back to Worcester, my best friend introduced me to doTERRA, an essential oil company. From there, we created a small business together; and due to differences, we parted ways a year later, starting our respective ventures. My primary business- I.Eat.Oils was born, and the 'Wife.Mom.Boss' Empire followed shortly after. I Eat Oils provide temporary pain relief naturally. Inspired by my mother, the Pain Blend developed was to support her chronic pain, arthritis, inflammation, and swollen feet. Presented with the opportunity to market and sell medical-grade CBD Oil privately and being in the essential oil business, I thought it would be a good match. The Wife.Mom.Boss Empire was just an 'extra income' project initially. I printed t-shirts and sold them for a small commission which opened the door for me to give a small business 'Wife.Mom.Boss' a chance to feel 'valued' to own her title. I started offering advertising services for a female-owned small business brand, product & services on my social media platforms. The few ladies who have joined the Empire are phenomenal. I learned a few things from them in recent months that I'd like to share with you:

You are of tremendous value in your home and your family; you are replaceable everywhere else. In business, YES, it's about making money and finding fulfillment and value in supporting local, small businesses and paying them what they are due.

Spoil yourself! You deserve it.
