Are you curious to peek behind the veil?✨

Becca Crawford

 

After I had my babies I just knew that corporate life wasn’t for me. I wanted to pursue my passion in the health and wellness industry, be my own boss, work from home, set my own agenda, and above all make a genuine impact at the grass roots level.

I had no idea at the time that my Young Living business (that I fell into after a harrowing mould experience in my home) would tick all of the boxes and more. I was an essential oils skeptic, had no idea what networking was, had no idea that Young Living was a networking company, or even had a business arm attached to it. I just fell in love with the magic of their products and knew that they were somehow completely different to anything else on the market – they actually worked!!! I resisted and resisted the business side of it for a long time like an ostrich with my head buried in the sand. I was all about their products, not the profit, not the business side. I was already neck high deep in running my Star Anise Organic Wholefoods business and Broth Bar & Larder. Did I want another business? Absolutely not. Just. Not. Interested. I had no idea that simply by connecting others with YL by sharing the products in my own unique way I was already on my way to creating the most fabulous business I could ever dream of. When the revenue started surpassing my Star Anise Organic Wholefoods, with a fraction of the expenses, headaches, and work, I started giving it a little bit more of my attention. Then when I finally got over my fear of MLMs and understood how it all worked (I agree with Warren Buffet- it’s a bloody genius model by the way!) I started to attract like-minded no-BS women who shared my passion and vision, and my YL business exploded.

Are you curious to learn how it all works? On Tues 16 June 8pm (EST) join me for a free zoom meeting where I’ll present you with information about an opportunity to join my Young Living team as a business leader where we educate, inspire and empower people all around the globe to be more independent in their health care and to kick the toxicity in their lives by healthy swapping to all-natural products made by the world leaders in the essential oils movement. The unprecedented grown in my Young Living business and Young Living as a company over the past 3 months indicates that people are (finally) prioritising their health first and foremost and turning to and demanding more natural and safe products in their health care. The world needs more people to spread this important message of empowerment, medical freedom,  independence and support through natural yet powerful means. It doesn’t feel like a ‘job’ when you’re doing what you absolutely love and what sets your soul on fire. 

Maybe you too are at the crossroads in your career like I once was. Maybe you’re looking (or yearning) for something more. 

Do you:

  • want to feel more inspired and fulfilled by making a genuine impact?

  • want to pursue something in the health and wellness space without formal study?

  • want to do something from the comfort of your home with your kids around you?

  • want to run a business or side business at your own pace, on your own terms and be your own boss?

  • want to create something truly beautiful for YOU which also leaves a legacy for your children?

  • want the full support of a heart-centred community with my comprehensive training material and resources so you don’t ever need to reinvent the wheel?

  • want to make a fabulous income (as well as an impact) with a long term game plan that can exceed your wildest dreams?

  • want a business or side hustle that can cover your household expenses and debts while opening up opportunity to travel, visit farms and constantly be learning?

  • want to share products that you use, love and genuinely believe in and that make a profound difference in peoples’ lives?

  • want to step into a greater version of yourself while mentoring and empowering others to do the same?

  • want to be aligned with a company that puts the health of people and planet above profits and is the undisputed leader in their field with 25 years of industry leadership?


If you answered YES to any of these questions, then email me to register for a no holds barred conversation about my Young Living business and what it entails. You can ask me anything!!! Are you curious to peek behind the veil?✨

P.S. this zoom meeting is open to all YL members in my team as well as those who are not yet members in my team. If you’ve never used an essential oil or a YL product in your life – then great! You are welcome to join!

 

The best tool we have to boost our immune system and to protect us from illness, viruses and disease….

Becca Crawford

 

The best tool we have to boost our immune system and to protect us from illness, viruses and disease already exists in nature – real food! 

As Dr Mark Hyman recently said in an interview with Robert F Kennedy Jr “Food isn’t like medicine. Food is medicine! It is our number one tool for creating the vibrant health we deserve! Every system of your biology is regulated by what you’re eating.” 

Indeed, every system, structure and function of the human body is built from and runs on one thing and one thing only and that is nutrients! From our immune system, digestive system, osteo skeletal system, endocrine system, nervous system, brain health, skin health – the whole kit and caboodle-  is regulated or influenced by the presence or absence of nutrients! Nutrients are what causes our genes to express themselves (switch on and off) for better or for worse. So the more nutrient-dense our food, the more robust our immune system and other systems of the body will be.  

Everything I have argued and stood for over the past 2 decades has poignantly  crystallised at this strange moment of history that we find ourselves in.  

The best medicine is, and always been, a real nutrient-rich whole unprocessed diet especially when combined with the other pillars or foundations of health (pure water, deep sleep, conscious movement, positive mindset, clear air, social connection, and nature immersion). That there, my friends, is the combined elixir to robust health and a healthy planet. The most powerful tools we have to boost our immune system and to achieve vibrant health already exist in the natural world!! They are not found in pharmaceuticals or quick fix unsustainable diets. But we humans can’t help but to undermine the sanctity of our wise biology and the natural world by intervening, meddling, and destroying what is already perfect or has the capability of being spectacular. The human body and the natural world are truly magnificent. Our internal and external ecosystems are far more sophisticated, complex and intelligent than what we give them credit for. They know exactly what to do to regenerate, thrive and flourish if we just get out of the way and simply provide the necessary inputs – nourishment in all its forms - that support (and not undermine) our biology and all life on the planet.

We are indeed at the threshold of a massive paradigm shift in human consciousness. Right now, I am so excited for what the future holds. More and more people are waking up to the realisation that we already have what is needed for the most magnificent regeneration of ourselves and the planet. And that is a beautiful thing.

Hungry for more? Join me at my next Food as Medicine talk 1 August 2020 via zoom webinar where we were immerse ourselves in this topic for a full day (9-3pm) and give you all the tools, resources and practical know-how to put it all into place. Places limited to 50 people. Each talk over the past 2 years has sold out. I co-present with Australia’s leading holistic dietician and GAPS practitioner Marieke Rodenstein whose expertise is gut health and is a passionate advocate of regenerating farming and traditional food.

TESTIMONAILS

Firstly, let me start by saying thank you from the very bottom of my heart - I sat in on your Food As Medicine webinar last Saturday and since then have watched your Broth cooking workshop and made my very first beef bone broth EVER!!! I can’t believe how far I have come - I remember as a child my mum eating the marrow of the bone and making stock all the time with fish bones, and beef when I was growing up. Although as I grew older into my early 20’s I started eating very poorly and became obsessed with the gym - I over exercised, I took a lot of exercise supplements like protein powders and pre work out every single DAY for about 4 years. I only ate salads and was “scared of fat and carbs” and have suffered extremely low iron levels for about 7 years now, to the point I was borderline anaemic. I BARELY ate any red meat. And it’s funny because I really thought I was eating healthy. But now, 26 years old, I realise how un-healthy I really was and it honestly makes me want to cry just thinking now how much I depleted my body of nutrients. I truly believe because of all my mistakes and really just me being uneducated and stubborn in my ways, I have grown to live with anxiety and I find myself complaining about my legs hurting, or my back, or my discomfort I feel in my left lung/heart area. I have no idea what it is but I truly think it is linked to my anxiety and probably because I just didn’t give my body the essential nutrients I needed whilst I was still growing into a young adult.

As I write this to you, I truly hope I can change my health and life around - and you have really inspired me. When you said you lived a vegetarian diet for so many years (I have found I was eating a 90% vegetarian diet too for the last 2 years) and how you changed your life and your health around. You are what I inspire to be!!!! I hope it’s not too late for me too and I am taking notes down all the time when you post something on Instagram and what foods to try. I can’t believe that yesterday I ATE THE MARROW OF THE BONE !!! I have NEVER eaten this before and always thought it was DISGUSTING when my mum would eat it. Now look at me! I will be making that dessert you incorporate the marrow in to make it just a little easier for me haha 🙂

Soulla, truly, I just want to thank you. I have been following you on social media for a while now and I am SO glad that I found you and that I committed to sitting in on your webinar last Saturday. If I could quit my full-time job and have no bills or mortgage to pay off, I would work for you for free at Broth Bar & Larder JUST so I can be surrounded by your beliefs, energy and wisdom!!!! 🙂 Again, I want to say a big thank you to you for existing on this earth! I feel especially fortunate that I only live an hour away from Broth Bar & Larder knowing I have all the access to your nutrient dense foods 🙂 I cannot wait to feel the best I have ever felt in my body and my health and that’s thanks to you

Thank you so much for the most amazingly inspirational workshop yesterday. You have done so much work over the years in this area and you are so incredibly generous to share it all. I found your workshop to be the best one I have ever attended of all wellness workshops, you are so passionate, knowledgeable and a natural educator. I would do this workshop again - I loved it that much! Thank you
— Rachael
Thank you for such an insightful and interesting day full of knowledge, wisdom, interesting and useful content, and for cutting through the ‘fat’ (literally) of how we can take control and give our health the ‘rolls royce treatment’ it deserves. As a mum with a young family, i left today feeling invigorated and confident. I loved how you de-bunked the modern era and took us back to grass roots (whilst still being evidence base and backing up your facts with relevant and credible studies) This was lifechanging for me - thank you for empowering me to make subtle changes to improve my health and the health of my family. Absolutely amazing and informative. So worthwhile and I have so much more confidence now as a Mumma

Seminar was simply amazing!

Thank you very much for the food as medicine webinar. I’ve been left empowered and determined to improve my day to day living

Vibrant health starts in the home

Becca Crawford

 

I’m an ordinary girl on an extraordinary mission to inspire and empower as many people as I can to lead a less toxic and more nourishing  and conscious life – in all areas of their life – starting in their home. I believe that vibrant health starts in your home. It starts with the food, personal care products and cleaning products that you bring into your home.  Your home is where you spend most of your time and your home is really the only place that you largely can control.

IMG_2852.JPG

Prompted by a health crisis, I started my health journey over 2 decades ago by focusing on the food I was eating and swapping out the dietary toxins along with the mainstream dogma that has caused an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease. I soon realised (as one door opened another door) that toxins weren’t just found our food system…they were lurking in the personal care products I was using on my and my babies’ skin and in the cleaning products I was spraying all over the house. They were in the sunscreen I was plastering all over my body, the make-up I was coating all over my face and the perfumes and air fresheners I was spraying. 

Despite what the manufactures or the powers that be might say, scientific evidence clearly shows that dietary toxins (including refined sugars, refined starches, industrial seed oils, and artificial additives) and environmental toxins (including PEGS, SLS, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colours, phthalates, aluminium, oxybenzone etc), are of genuine concern with wide ranges health consequences. Children are the most vulnerable as their systems are much smaller. These toxins in the products that line our supermarket and pharmacy shelves have been allowed to ubiquitously infiltrate our lives, our bodies and the planet in the name of commerce and we consumers are paying the price. We are paying with our health!

IMG_2864.JPG

The sobering light bulb moment came for me when I realized that just because something is allowed to be sold or is ubiquitously used doesn’t make it safe!! And that’s when I realized that I need to become more independent in my health care, do my own due diligence (because no one else is going to do it for me), and to take personal responsibility for my own health. This is my job and my job alone. No one else can do it for me.

Unsurprisingly, when I took this level of personal responsibility, that’s when I was able to reverse all of my and my family’s health issues.  I consciously engaged in lifestyle choices that genuinely aligned with our wise biology, and avoided those that undermined it. And I sought out, and attracted, a solid tribe of supportive like-minded people which makes the journey even more rich and delicious. 

My wish for you is to reclaim your power as individuals – to feel more empowered and independent in your health care. We are indeed at the threshold of a massive paradigm shift in global consciousness. Sometimes it takes, as it did for me, a personal health crisis to be your wake-up call and sometimes it takes a global health crisis. And maybe for you it’s a bit of both. 

So whether you’re at the very start of your health and wellness journey or part way through or maybe you’re looking for a community of like-minded souls, I invite you to join me at one or both of my next workshops where you can learn, appreciate and focus  on just how much power and influence you really can have over your health - physically, emotionally and spiritually: 

  1. To kick the chemicals in your personal care products and cleaning products in a positive, empowering and super simple way and to become more independent in your health care by being your family’s alchemist and healer - join me at my next free The Essentials zoom webinar Tuesday 26 May 7-9pm. Book here!

  2. To clean up your diet, understand the fundamental of robust nutrition and robust gut health and to enjoy a long term sustainable traditional wholefoods dietary approach that has served our ancestors for Millenia-  join me at my next Food as Medicine talk via zoom webinar on Saturday 1 August 9am- 2pm co-presented with Australia’s leading holistic dietician Marieke Rodenstein. This is a comprehensive talk that sets you up for life that also covers the topics in 1 above.
