Elevated Wellness May Top 10 Sellers
I’m a hormone + MTHFR focused wellness coach helping women support their bodies, lead with integrity, and build something meaningful — without hustle or burnout. I lead the top team in Michigan in my company. I love doing business with women like me, leading their homes in health + wellness and aren’t afraid to put in the work to put money in their families accounts.
We asked the Elevated Wellness team members who were the top 10 sellers in May 2026 to share what people assume about their success, what’s surprised them the most about building the business, and how their lives would look today if they didn’t say yes. Their answers give you insight into into their individual character and their team culture as a whole.
Jaime Innis
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
People assume I had some massive advantage or that success came quickly because I’d built a business before.
The truth is, I still had to start over. I still had to earn trust. I still had to put myself out there, learn a new system, and make the decision every day to stay focused when it would’ve been easier to play small.
What people don’t always see is that consistency beats talent almost every time. I’ve never been afraid to work hard, but more importantly, I’ve never been afraid to keep going when the results haven’t caught up yet.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
How much peace can exist alongside growth.
For years, I thought success required constantly pushing, grinding, and being attached to my phone. What surprised me most is realizing that you can build something significant without sacrificing your family, your faith, or your sanity in the process.
I’ve also been blown away by the caliber of women this journey has brought into my life. Some of my closest friendships and strongest leaders came from simply saying yes to an opportunity I almost overlooked.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
I’d still be doing okay.
But I wouldn’t be living out the vision God placed on my heart, and I’d always wonder what would’ve happened if I hadn’t taken the leap.

1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
That you have to have a large following or that I am only successful due to that. I actually started before I even had an instagram account (and still saw success!). My first post, I had 56 followers.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
Honestly, how the products speak for themselves and how much people LOVE them. Literally, once they try them- their orders just get larger each month because 1. They have to have what they tried and 2. They cant wait to try new things 3. There is everyday items they can simply switch brands on and get for free with using loyalty points.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
I would not have the time I have now with my boys. I would be working 12 hour shift and missing a lot of mornings and bedtime with them.
Karen McFerren
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
I think people assume that because I have a sales background, building this business came easy. While my experience helped me understand relationships and consistency, I’ve faced the same doubts, setbacks, and challenges as everyone else. What people don’t see are the conversations, follow-ups, coaching, and daily effort that happen behind the scenes. My success hasn’t come from having all the answers—it’s come from genuinely caring about people and continuing to show up every day.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
What has surprised me most is realizing that it’s never too late to start over and build something new. When one chapter ended, I wasn’t sure what the next one would look like. I certainly didn’t expect to find a company, products, and community that aligned so closely with my values. The growth, momentum, and opportunities I’ve experienced have exceeded my expectations, and it’s exciting to know that my best chapter may still be ahead of me.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
If I had never said yes, I think my life would be much smaller. I wouldn’t have met the incredible people who have become friends, teammates, and part of my daily life. I also wouldn’t have the opportunity to make an impact on so many people who are looking for better health and a better future. Financially, this business has allowed me to create additional income without relying solely on my retirement. But more importantly, it has given me purpose, community, and something exciting to wake up and work toward every day.
Taylor Ricker
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
That I knew a bunch of people or had a huge following already, I actually started with about 150 followers and none of my close friends started with me! I implemented all the training and grew my social media (and business) organically through the mentorship tools provided and being a product of the product myself sharing my story.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
How much this has genuinely changed my entire families lives. To be able to build between my kids schedules, at pick up lines and nap times. Not only do we have time freedom to enjoy every moment with the kids but also financially further ahead than we ever thought we’d be in our 30s raising 3 kids!
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
Sad lol if still be full then corporate America in a job that was draining me. Missing out on raising my babies at home and all those little moments during the day that I love!
Kassandra Brooks
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
I think people assume that I’m naturally good at doing selling or being on social media. When I first started, I literally didn’t even know what Instagram was. I didn’t know how to make a video or what to say. Everything had to be learned from the ground up. I taught myself watching YouTube how-to videos.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
The “power of one” I like to call it . How powerful it can be to lock arms with one person. How big of an impact it can have on your business and mindset to have one other awesome human to build with you.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
My ability to provide for my family would look completely different. My husband and I have rewritten our future plans, hoping to move to a nicer neighborhood soon. I would have to say no to my kids a lot and their lives would look a lot different. We would be back to whatever is under paycheck to paycheck, struggling and praying for a miracle.
Tori Hall
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
People assume that this is "easy" for me. I work really hard to be successful in this business. Every day is a decision to move the needle forward or stay stagnant. I choose to move it forward even when life is life-ing or I don't want to do it.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
I never expected to be sitting with the "top dogs". For years I admired the women who I now share a table with. It is SO different here. The hard work I put in is actually paying out.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
Ew, I'd be working full time in the ER. Both kids would be in daycare. I would be miserable. Shaklee has given me the opportunity to be a present momma and that is something I don't take lightly. It has also significantly improved my relationship with being a nurse. When I go in for a shift I don't dread it like I did before. I wouldn't have met any of the incredible people on my team. I wouldn't have the healthy friendships and community that comes with the greater team. Not to mention my actual health - I'd be on chemo, waking up and going to sleep in pain, + 80 pounds heavier.
Trista Ringrose
1. What is something people assume about your success that isn’t actually true?
I think people assume I have all this extra time and that somehow I have it all together and am in the perfect season of life to start a business. The truth is there was never a perfect time. I started while working as a full time respiratory therapist, raising three kids, juggling their schedules, managing while my husband works a crazy shift work schedule and he is dedicating himself to extra training and working hard to achieve his career goals. I don’t have more hours in my day than anyone else. I don’t have it all figured out. Most days I’m building this business in the pockets of time I can find between hospital shifts and bedtime routines. What you see when you look at me growing in this business is a lot of consistency and hard work. Not perfect timing.
2. What has surprised you most about building this business?
The income. When I first started I thought I might make the occasional small pay cheque here and there. Maybe help cover the cost of the products that were changing my life and that I couldn't imagine going without. I'd tried a business like this before, and that's all it ever was.
This has been completely different. Not only am I able to pay for all of my products, but I'm also bringing home a truly meaningful income for my family. The kind of income that creates options, takes pressure off, and makes a real difference. What started as a way to support my own health has become something that has impacted our lives in ways I never expected.
3. What would your life look like today if you had never said yes?
I think I’d still be searching for the version of me that got lost somewhere along the way. I said yes because I wanted more energy, but what I found was so much more than that. I found confidence, purpose and goals that belonged to me. Most importantly, I found my spark again.Somewhere between raising kids, working full time, and taking care of everyone else, I had forgotten that I mattered too. Saying yes helped me remember.
