A Message That Means Something

Products That Make a Real Difference Being a first responder is a demanding job that often involves long hours and irregular schedules that can be taxing mentally as well as physically. Melaleuca’s exclusive wellness products can offer some well-deserved relief, support, and simplicity. “First responders live under constant stress,” Megan says, “and they often don’t have regular sleep patterns, so anything we can do to improve their health is vital. But it also needs to be simple. It’s so easy to use the Peak Performance packets so you don’t have to fumble with six different bottles.” “When I first received my EcoSense ® cleaning products, I loved that I didn’t have to worry about how they would affect my daughter or my pets,” Charlotte says. “That was a big deal for me. And I love me some Pain-A-Trate ® and Pure ™ Blue Heat Soothing Blend . You put those two together and it’s magic!” “I’m not as young as I was once,” Kellen jokes. “My joints can use a little help, so I love the Replenex ® line of products.” “Having MelaPower ® and the whole laundry line has saved me so much time washing uniforms,” Alex says. “Before MelaPower , I was trying to make all my own stuff. It was awful, and it smelled like vinegar and stinky socks. My husband was like, ‘This is not going work!’ But then MelaPower came, and he absolutely loves it.” Time Saving and Convenience If there’s one thing first responders are short on, it’s free time! The fact that Melaleuca can simplify their day means a lot to them. “You can be on your own a lot as a first responder spouse,” Brittney says, “so the convenience factor and affordability of

Melaleuca are huge. Not having to load your kids in the car to buy laundry soap and toothpaste is a big plus.” “I don’t want to take the time to go shopping,” Charlotte says. “So I love that with Melaleuca I can order online and the products just come to my door. That is one of my favorite things!” “A first responder’s schedule is very busy and very unpredictable,” Megan adds. “I need shopping to be easy. When I found Melaleuca, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! This just makes life so simple!’”

Melaleuca’s mission of enhancing lives resonates deeply with first responders. They are already passionate about helping others, so it’s important to let them see how Melaleuca can help them build on that purpose. “You don’t become a police officer unless you want to help others,” Charlotte explains. “With Melaleuca, I can help families switch to higher- quality, better-for-you products, but I can also help those who have a financial need and show them what’s possible. Melaleuca aligns perfectly with what I do as a detective.” Megan agrees. “When you answer a 911 call, it’s all about ‘How do I help this one person where they are right now?’ And I feel that with Melaleuca you do the same thing. It’s very service oriented. The priority is really on helping others, and that is the core of our careers for sure.”

Positivity and a Culture of Support

Let’s face it, no one calls for a first responder because they are having a good day. When life gets dark and heavy, Melaleuca can offer some positivity and support for both first responders and their families. “When you build a business with Melaleuca, you get to see a lot of good days,” Brittney says. “I think that’s a good break for first responders. Being a part of Melaleuca can be a breath of fresh air for them because there is that positivity. And I love being able to offer that to other families too.” “With Melaleuca, I feel like I’m plugged into a sisterhood,” Alex says. “My team is there nearly 24/7 because we’re all in different time zones. Melaleuca has created a community for me that has been so powerful as I navigate life as a law enforcement wife.” Megan’s experience has been very similar. “The way we build a team here is wonderful,” she says. “First responder families can feel isolated because we’re so busy, so to have a community that is here to cheer you on and help you build your business and see you through your setbacks is incredible.”

Kellen points out that the principles that make a great first responder also align with Melaleuca leadership. “I always want to be the type of person who somebody can call on and rely on,” he says. “The servant leadership that is instilled in Melaleuca culture is very similar to the leadership that I’m used to, where the person in charge is not afraid to get their hands dirty or to volunteer first. That instills good morale and sets the tone for my crew, my station, and how we operate.”
