Whether I am a family member, close friend, someone who goes to your church, or just a stranger you decided to follow online, I’ve got to tell you about my next best side hustle. It comes with a real, raw story about my own personal life, so buckle up.
I love to write.
I also love to meet new people.
I love finding deals and discounts.
I really love finding freebies.
I love the God who created me.
I love the family He gave me.
Newly added to my list of favorite things is a company called Plexus. Though I swore I never needed a company like Plexus in my life, God had other plans. I think it’s time I tell the story of how Plexus came to fit into my frugal life.
Two and a half years ago, I met a friend name Janelle. We both started attending the same Bible study. Janelle is about 20 years ahead of me in life with teenage kids and a thriving career. She’s easy to get to know and easy to love. You’re quickly drawn to her warm personality. You want to know about her life and learn from her actions.
Janelle often brought me samples of Plexus products that came out of her own stock – her own budget. She wanted to share about Plexus because it changed her family’s life. Plexus healed mental illness, relieved headaches, transformed skin issues, and so much more for her family of nine. Not to mention, Janelle and her husband, Jason, completely support their big family on a Plexus income. Little did I know, she held the key to my next best side hustle… but it would take me years to unlock that door.
In the first two years of my friendship with Janelle, I said no to Plexus. I didn’t know much about the company. I wasn’t interested in the business. I sure as heck didn’t have the money to invest (or so I told myself). I just didn’t need the products.
During my friendship with Janelle, I secretly struggled with an intense amount of anxiety. I wanted a different body. I constantly battled overwhelming feelings, dealt with adult acne, and suffered lots of darkness in my own spiritual life. I would smile in public and laugh with friends, but at home I was crying most of the time.
At the same time, my second child started having skin issues. We began introducing food around the normal age of six to eight months old, but he hated half the things he tried and was allergic to the rest. His body seemed off, but everyone suggested he’d just grow out of it. I hoped they were right!
Fast forward a year and his skin wasn’t healing, his allergy list was growing, and I was stressed out beyond words. I decided SSRI meds were my only chance at happiness. Meanwhile, the doctors were suggesting steroid creams for Levi, and though they helped initially, the creams only masked a deeper issue.
Because I believed my trust in God should heal all mental (and physical) anxiety, I felt incredibly guilty for the medical decisions I was making for my son and I. We prayed for Levi’s skin, but didn’t see a change. I journaled, exercised, and spent semi-consistent time with God, but still no improvements in my anxiety. The medication was taking the edge off in life, but now I couldn’t feel emotions that I SHOULD be feeling. I was swinging from one extreme to the other.
By the time my son was two, something needed to drastically change. Why did life feel so hard and confusing when I was asking God for answers every day?
I knew God was with me, but I didn’t understand how or where.
So, what now?
My little family of four decided to take a break from real life this past winter to experience a six month road trip around America. The details of that trip are for another day, but I vividly remember sitting in the toasty car under the hot Arizona sun dialing up Janelle’s number. The kids were playing at the park with my husband and Janelle was the one person I knew with a testimony of healing in almost every area of her life. My son needed help with his skin. I needed hope. Janelle was always talking about how Plexus healed her own children’s skin. We ordered the Plexus probiotic and two months later Levi was essentially eczema-free with clear skin.
Janelle and her business with Plexus was the “how” I was searching for. It took me over two years to open my eyes and accept it. Her business with Plexus is “where” God wants us in the future. I can’t see the results of Levi’s healing and not share about the natural healing Plexus can provide.
We prayed for Levi’s healing during our trip and God answered it through Plexus. We’ve prayed for the next best side hustle to start since returning home, and God has revealed it through Plexus.
The idea of Plexus may be a bit hard for you to swallow. Maybe you have an issue with MLM style companies. Maybe you don’t think you have the money to heal your body. Maybe you haven’t learned enough about the company to love it. But if your only job is just to listen and consider whether Plexus could help your family the way it is helping mine, open your ears. God speaks in mysterious ways!
And how is God healing ME?
Because of Levi’s transformation, I’ve built a belief that Plexus is a trust worthy company. I’ve done lots of research on the Plexus Triplex (which includes the Plexus probiotic – Probio5). This pack of supplements help calm anxiety, aid in weight management, and settle overall mood swings. I’m patiently waiting to feel more physical changes and excited to compare my life before and after Plexus.
See ya around!
