MEGAN’S STORY: REKINDLING HER CONFIDENCE THROUGH COMMUNITY When you focus on an opinion long enough, it becomes a belief. And that’s how Senior Director 8 Megan Medlar began to believe that she was a worthless person and a bad mother and that she didn’t deserve anything better in life.

Tearing down old habits and reforming oneself is a lonely process. And like many reformed addicts, Megan had to rebuild her sense of self-worth of from scratch. “I went through my days smiling for my children when internally I felt like nothing,” Megan says. “I didn’t have friends. The loneliness was real. My mom was the only person who was in my life to help me.” Finances were a struggle for the Medlars. Their marriage was in distress. Megan didn’t see that there was any way out of the hopelessness she felt. Her identity as a mother was extremely important to her—and since she didn’t believe she was a good mother, it’s no wonder she felt so low.

She was a good mother, a good wife, and a good friend—and she always had been! Life is completely different for Megan today.

Every single day I get to go to bed and know that I’m a good mom, I’m a good wife, and I love what I do.” OPEN YOUR HEART TO MORE There are hundreds and even thousands of stories with a similar refrain to these—stories of how Melaleuca sparked purpose and passion in a struggling individual. How loneliness was driven out by the warmth and love of a caring Melaleuca community. How confidence and accomplishment helped add luster to innate individual worth. Melaleuca has always been about enhancing lives in ways that go far beyond clean laundry and cutting- edge supplements. Melaleuca isn’t just a store. It’s not just a shopping club. It’s a community. It’s a family. And it’s ready with open arms for you.

As Megan began to interact with more Melaleuca Members and watch training videos on Melaleuca.com, she recognized that Melaleuca business builders had the kind of confidence and happiness she wanted in her life.

Summoning up a mountain of courage, Megan made a goal to
earn $250 through Melaleuca. “I felt inadequate,” she says. “I worked on borrowed confidence. For about the first nine months of referring, I was so intimidated by Kim that I wouldn’t ask for help.” In just her second month of referring others, Megan reached her $250 goal and realized she needed to set another. With every approach and every enrollment, Megan began to prove her opinions of herself wrong. She was capable. She was worthy.
