How has Thirty-One changed your life?
Because of Thirty-One, I was able to finish my
master’s degree in education and pay for it in full.
I was able to quit my teaching job in 2012 to do
Thirty-One full-time – I am a teacher of a different
type now. Thirty-One has given me a way to offer other
women an opportunity and make a difference in their
lives. I can teach other women to do what I do, give them
confidence and empower them just as Thirty-One has
empowered me. Thirty-One has made me a confident
woman – I believe in me now. In all other jobs I've had,
it's always been about what more I could do. Rarely was
I ever told I was doing a good job. Thirty-One shows us
they appreciate us in so many ways. Being a Consultant
makes you want to work harder because you know
it’s appreciated.”

How do you compare Thirty-One to any other job
you’ve had?
When I started Thirty-One, it was because I needed
something for me. Not only had I just had my first child,
but I had also just lost my mom. Getting out of the
house, connecting with other women and contributing
to our family’s income were all important factors that
enabled me to work through a difficult time. I never
could have imagined all of the amazing women I would
meet as a result of starting this business. I am so
thankful for each person I’ve met on this journey! Every
day with Thirty-One beats even my best day with any
past jobs! The flexible schedule, genuine relationships
and a culture of women empowering one another is an
experience that everyone deserves to have.”

Why are you proud to be a Thirty-One Consultant?
After starting our family, I journeyed into the
corporate world. There, you never knew if what you
were doing was helping or driving the bottom line. I
enjoy the communication from Home Office that lets
us know how the company is doing, where we are at
regarding goals and projections and what we can do
to make an impact. We are an industry leader whose
Consultants have the drive to achieve big goals and
excel in a very competitive environment. I am proud to
be a Thirty-One Consultant because of our dedication
to our core values and mission statement. The
company isn’t just about empowering women to sell
bags but rather selling bags to empower women.
My life is 180 degrees different than it was nine years
ago – Thirty-One was just what I needed!”

How have the relationships you’ve made at Thirty-One
affected you?
After joining Thirty-One, I realized I do need a tribe
of girlfriends. My husband is my best friend, which is
great, but you can’t replace having that tribe who has
your back. I have so many friends all over the country
(and Canada) that are true friends and some are now
my best friends. Finding a group of like-minded people
with the same personal and business values as you is
extraordinary. Being part of the Celebrate, Encourage
& Reward culture has made me more intentional about
saying the nice things I’m thinking. I love seeing how
Consultants on my team have gained self-confidence
and been able to do so many things for themselves and
their families. Whether it’s buying a new home, a new
car, or traveling, I love seeing their hard work pay off.”
