Re: Stoked to connect

Hi everyone! I'm Mollie Busby, owner of MollieBusby.com, Yoga Hive Studios, and a doTERRA essential oil slinger/yogini who lives off the grid in Montana and Alaska... in a nutshell :-) I'm so glad you're here, but lets make sure the feeling is mutual. A couple FAQs..

What is The Busby Buzz?
First and foremost, my passion is writing — and connecting. Combine the two and you have The Busby Buzz — newsletter delivered to your inbox 1-2 times a month. (And yes, I have an affinity for alliteration!) I might write about what's currently inspiring me in life as an entrepreneur, or life off the grid, essential oil recipes, book recommendations and more. (Scroll down to read my thoughts and photos from current life in Alaska!) I also love to highlight friends, partners, and happenings through my work with Yoga Hive, doTERRA essential oils, and beyond. When you boil it down, this newsletter is all me. If you like me (and occasional alliteration), you'll likely enjoy The Busby Buzz.

Why am I getting this email?
You've either signed up to receive emails from MollieBusby.com, we've crossed paths at some point and chatted about essential oils, or you've signed up for a membership with doTERRA underneath me, or with one of my doTERRA colleagues.

What if I don't use essential oils?
Although they're a huge part of my life and I do talk about them every chance I get, you don't need to love oils to enjoy this newsletter! I've been working to connect our growing doTERRA team online — including this newsletter, and a members-only Facebook Group, members-only Instagram board, in-person + recorded events at Yoga Hive Montana, Yoga Hive Colorado and soon at Wildflower Society in Lakeside, Montana. DoTERRA has given my family relief from physical ailments, broken down emotional barriers in my life and work, provided a growing revenue stream for my family, and the best part? I've been able to meet and develop friendships with remarkable people around the world. It's part of my life, so I can't help tell the world about it. You're not required to feel the same way!

Can I become a Yoga Hive Oil Hive member?
Totally! Membership with doTERRA is only $35/year, with no minimum orders required. Reply to this email, and I'll set up a one-on-one video call to tell you exactly how it works.

What if I'm not interested in this Busby business?
No prob. Scroll down, peruse the newsletter, and if it doesn't resonate, click unsubscribe link in the footer!

In light,
Mollie Busby

From my journal:
Beauty below the surface

If you've been following along on The Busby Hive, Sean and I recently relocated for part of the year to Homer, Alaska. Although I'll be back and forth between Montana and Alaska, Sean will be spending 8+ months living in our off-grid cabin in Fritz Creek. Here's the blog post where I told the story of why the heck we're doing this.

I got here last week, and while my days are spent managing Yoga Hive Montana, planning for the future of Yoga Hive Studios, and building our doTERRA team, I'm excited to attend some yoga classes and workshops in Homer as a student! It’s force of habit for me to start weaving a web of connection wherever I go... it’s part of the fabric of who I am—I crave it. Sean knows the deal: I won’t move anywhere without confidence that I’ll have a community to be a part of.

During the three years I lived in middle-of-nowhere Utah, my community became my best friend, Brittany Hopkins (who I credit for getting me into yoga in the first place!). In Montana, my community became my own studio, Yoga Hive Montana. In Alaska, I have confidence that my community is here... it's a matter of getting slightly uncomfortable (which leads to becoming comfortable in the long run) and putting myself out there. My continual search for depth of connection in small towns, plus my love for yoga, are the reasons I started Yoga Hive Studios in the first place. My “Yoga Hive” in Alaska starts with discovery and connection over the next month.

In honor of all the feels, I went beach combing last week and made a message in the rocks... beauty below the surface. ✨Can you see it?!✨

"How Women Rise"
by Sally Helgesen

I've loved reading this book so far... it gives perspectives on why women get from point A to point B, but can't use the same tactics and strategies to get from point B to the top of a company. Even as an entrepreneur (who avoids corporate structure at all costs!), I find a lot of the science and insights fascinating, and already find myself incorporating the recommendations into my daily life.

Tip from The Oil Hive:
Cold and Flu Bomb

Fall is on the horizon... which comes with back-to-school, changing of the seasons, and GERMS. I beat the great gombu with this rollerball recipe, with equal parts of each of these oils. I use on my neck, wrists and for self-foot massages (yes, for real). When the going is SUPER tough, I'll put a small dose (1 drop each, topped with Fractionated Coconut Oil) in a Veggie Capsule and take internally.

"So it's vitally important to recognize what you are feeling at any moment, to identify and accept the emotions your circumstances are stirring up. However, speaking while in the grip of strong emotions is usually a bad practice. Your perceptions about who's at fault be be distorted. You may overstate your case. You may come across as touch or out of control. And you most certainly will be unable to calibrate your response in a way that lands with maximum impact. To recap: Feeling and identifying your emotion gives you power. Reacting to what you feel squanders it."
