Having spent 25 years of her life as a wellness coach, Executive Director 2 Terri Jackson didn’t question this prompting. But she did misinterpret it at first! “I got out of the pool and headed to Walmart,” she says. “It was 2020. I thought I’d find hand sanitizer, moisturizing lotion, and maybe some candles there to send to some of the members of my women’s group—Sisters4Selfcare.” While walking into the store, however, Terri got a call from Executive Director 6 Elicia Bennett. Terri and Elicia had gotten to know each other a few years earlier and had kept up via social media. “Elicia asked me what I was doing right then,” Terri recalls. “I said, ‘I’m driving to Walmart! God told me I’m going to bless a lot of people with a wellness box, so I’m going to find something to send to my friends.’ “Elicia replied that in about 10 minutes, she was hosting a Melaleuca Overview and that she wanted to show me something she was doing that tied into my wellness coaching.” Terri needed a little bit more convincing over the next five minutes, but with National Director 2 Ernest Ross on the line as well, Elicia convinced her to join the call. “So I walked around Walmart on my phone, learning about Melaleuca and listening to Marketing Executives relating their product experiences and how they were sharing the products with others,” Terri says. At the end of that call, Terri and Elicia went through the entire Melaleuca product store. Terri made up her mind and enrolled with a New Member Savings Pack. Then something miraculous happened. “When the box showed up on our doorstep and I saw the word ‘Wellness’ on it,” Terri says, “I dropped to my knees! I said, ‘God, is this what you were talking about?’ And yes. This was how I would bless a lot of people with wellness.”
Linking arms with Elicia, Terri went to work sharing Melaleuca with others. Before the end of the month, she had enrolled 27 new Melaleuca Members and helped four advance to Director! She couldn’t believe the amount of her first check—she even called Customer Service to make sure the decimal point was in the right place. “I knew I was impacting lives in this capacity,” Terri says. “I simply needed to share Melaleuca with those I associated with, and they would shop.” Just two days before the interview for this story, Terri was laid off from her job as a national fitness trainer. While it was certainly a shock to suddenly be out of work, Terri could see the silver lining. The job, which involved constant travel, consumed much of Terri’s time. Suddenly, she found herself with more time to focus on sharing the Melaleuca wellness products she loves with everyone she comes in contact with. Terri discovered Melaleuca during the pandemic. From there she wasted no time creating her own lifestyle of wellness based on the products. Today, she takes every opportunity to share how the Peak Performance Total Health Pack provided her with the nutrition that helped promote healthy blood pressure, optimal energy, and healthy weight management.* “It’s important to understand how our wellness is created from the inside out,” Terri says. “Our cells and organs need to be cared for. For example, did you know that 70% of your immune system resides in your gut? The gut is even called your second brain! If you’re not taking care of your gut, how can you radiate wellness? Your skin, eyes, nails, and hair all reflect your gut health. If you’re taking care of your body on the inside, it’s going to show on the outside.”
“My Melaleuca journey started with me floating in my pool, grieving the loss of my father on the fourth anniversary of his passing. As I meditated, I felt God telling me that I was going to bless a lot of people with a ‘wellness box.’”
