I love to support my friends and family with their independent and small businesses through my Flourishing Friends series. My cousin, Bridget, recently started her own business and I wanted to do what I could to support her, so I had her write a blog post about what she is up to…oh, and she is doing giveaway! Who doesn’t love a giveaway?!

Without further delay…Bridget Quint for ItWorks!

Bridget’s Story

I followed “one of those crazy wrap ladies” on Instagram a year ago and it changed my life… seriously.

After graduating business school with $150,000 of student loans, even my “good corporate job” barely helps me put a dent in my monthly minimum payment of $950. (Ouch!) So of course my entrepreneurial, woman-power, goal-setting self is always on the lookout for new opportunities to help put a dent in that bad boy of a negative net-worth. I dream of doing things like buying a house, travelling the world and having kids one day, but flushing money away to private lenders certainly prohibits me from saving much for my future.

About a year ago, I met a friend named Courtney through Instagram. I fell in love with her posts, which highlighted her two young handsome boys, her positive energy and her life as a now stay-at-home-mom. She was a daily inspiration to me and so I eventually asked how she managed to do it all—through this crazy wrap company.

If you haven’t heard of ItWorks! Global, it’s a health and wellness company that was launched in 2001 by a high school teacher and basketball coach and his stay-at-home wife. They were “rich in love and filled with dreams, but struggling to make ends meet financially.” Long story short, they found success through entrepreneurship and made it their mission to help other families to the same. ItWorks! Global is now an estimated $1 billion and COMPLETELY DEBT-FREE… and helping their employees become debt free (more on this later).

I was a skeptic after having tried other “health and wellness” products on the market that were loaded with chemicals and ingredients even Google couldn’t help me understand. So learning that this company uses all natural, non-GMO ingredients was mega appealing to me. I decided to give it a try—I tried the company’s most popular product first, the “Ultimate Body Applicator” aka the “skinny wrap.” It ultimately helps detoxify and tighten your problem areas. I did my belly, which is where I hold the most extra weight and have the hardest time losing. My results from that first wrap are below—and I only did ¼ of the full treatment.

The next product I tried were the “Greens”—my personal favorite. It’s a completely natural drink mix LOADED with healthy stuff (really…check out the ingredients on my website!). I love it best in smoothies and found that it’s a good alternative to my excessive coffee addiction, and gives me added nutrition.

While I’m not yet a mommy, I am touched to be a part of a business that has helped so many women, especially mothers (and fathers), find their way to feeling stronger, healthier and more confident.

My Favorite Things

Some of my FAVORITE things about my experience as a distributor are:

The G.O.O.D. (Get Out Of Debt) bonuses the company offers
Helping to empower others, especially women
My Team!!!! We pride ourselves on being “One Team, One Mission” and we are 100% non-competitive and encouraging! The friendships I have formed are awesome
“Working” from home or at fun events like bridal expos
The ItWorks! Global “GIVES BACK” foundation
And of course, trying all of the products with confidence I am not harming my body

So as I started off this post, my life has been completely changed by the risk I took in joining this incredible journey—I absolutely love sharing this experience with others and I find new growth in this experience each day.

As a distributor, I love that there is something for EVERYONE. I can help people looking to shimmy back into their old jeans, brighten their complexion, reduce their anxiety, find energy, make aging tattoos pop again, help heal skin rashes, boost breast milk production increase and so much more.
