I'm a married mom of two and ex-corporate Controller and CPA. I started this little side hustle called Zyia while working because I loved to stay active and figured why not wear some clothes & make some commission?
I had no intentions of leaving my job because I was excited for the growth of the company I was with. Unfortunately, circumstances changed with management/ownership change and I was eventually in an extremely toxic work environment that took me away from the thing that mattered most to me: my family. I was working late LATE nights, weekends, at family parties, you name it.
I knew Zyia, which wasn't supposed to be anything more than a side gig, was my SOLUTION. I started giving it more effort and really worked to build and share this blessing. I worked in the tiniest cracks of my day, getting the smallest task done to be able to make progress. I listened to trainings on commutes, worked Zyia on lunch breaks, and fit it in whenever I could!
In June of 2020, I was finally able to leave my corporate job and pursue Zyia full time. Since then we have been able to build a team of nearly 3,000 reps across the US, Canada and Australia. Not only that, but we were able to bring my husband home from his job in a time that was especially needed to care for sick family.
To say Zyia has been a blessing is an understatement. Our family's life has been forever changed in the best possible ways. My own confidence has grown in myself and as a business owner, and I've been able to grow relationships with so many incredible individuals I wouldn't have known if it weren't for Zyia.
