4 Diamond director promotion

Bobbie Trisko
4 Diamond Director

The day of my promotion I heard a new song on the radio called What If by Consumed by Fire. That song perfectly sums up this incredible journey we have all been on these past few short months. “What if jumping leads to flying and fear didn't stop me from trying. What if God's just waiting for me to start seeing how big He is, What if?” I'm so incredibly proud of Team Blessed and the community we are creating together. I'm honored to partner with each of them as we take the next step. Thank you, Jordan Essentials family for being so welcoming and encouraging. We are blessed to do life with all of you!

Gosh y'all! So many emotions as I write this! Happy tears are flowing and I can't stop smiling! 4 Diamond! Can you believe it?! WOW!

We just achieved this crazy big scary goal, but it did not happen overnight! It was years in the making! Not days or months but years! Some goals and things in life are absolutely worth the work. A reminder that all of our little actions add up and to never give up! And that every little time that we feel like throwing in the towel...to just stop and take a breath! Rehire ourselves and show ourselves love and grace! We'll thank ourselves later! 

Obviously this wasn't a one person promotion! It took many hands and hearts to pull this off! I will brag about my people forever, because I am so stinking proud of them! I am thankful that I have some of the best leaders and partners in our History Makers and GRIT Organizations and on my Team Grace! Karen Simpson, thank you for talking me off of the ledge on those crazy days and for reminding me of my worth on all of the others! Thank you, Nancy Bogart for having a listening ear and a yellow heart that matches mine! 

My prayer is that we continue to lead with love, grow relationships and inspire others for many more years to come!

3 DIAMOND DIRECTOR PROMOTION

Jackie Gerbers
3 Diamond Director

I am beyond grateful for the incredible opportunity with Jordan Essentials. God’s plan is always greater than we can imagine, and I am in awe of how He has led me to this point. This recent promotion is thanks to my amazing team, their hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm have been invaluable, and I couldn’t have achieved this without each of them. Above all, I give God all the glory for His guidance and blessings. His timing is perfect, and I trust in His plan for what’s to come. A BIG shoutout to the Jordan Essentials consultant community & home office staff who have been so supportive throughout this whirlwind journey!


2 DIAMOND DIRECTOR PROMOTION

Heather LaBarge
2 Diamond Director

I am overwhelmed with gratitude. In just 5 short months, my small, scared “yes” has been turned into something bigger than I ever dreamed. Every customer, every teammate, every meeting has been part of this beautiful plan that I didn't see coming! This promotion isn’t just mine- it’s from the support of an incredible team and the power of saying “yes”. I'm so thankful for every single person who has walked beside me, including my grandmother who passed in January 2024, as this journey is undoubtedly a sign from her and God above. 

This is only the beginning, and I’m walking into this next season with a full heart and so much excitement for what’s to come. Believe. Achieve. Succeed.

Laura Beeson
Diamond Director

I just keep thinking, if I had stayed where I was 4 months ago in the middle of sadness and confusion I would not have been able to work toward accomplishing new goals while being able to continue working from home and putting my family first. I'm just so thankful Bobbie and Jackie reached out and I didn't stay in my cookie dough phase for too long. My story is not over and I'm excited for the continued journey. Thank you JE home office, Team Blessed, Team Joy and the entire Jordie Crew for just being so wonderful

Claudia Phillip
Diamond Director

Only God can surprise me with something like becoming Diamond.  He continues to take me places that I never thought I could go!

I am so blessed to be a part of the Joy Tribe and under the leadership of my dear friend and awesome leader, Lisa Mills. Between her encouragement and mentoring along with Judy Poland, I would not be here. 

Beyond that I can’t forget the incredible women I lead in my Star Tribe who I have bonded with, grown with and who have all become dear friends. They have pushed me to grow as a leader and really bless me daily!

Love this company and so thankful to be a part of it!

Summer Gehrke
Director

I am beyond grateful for the support of my incredible team of Joyful Jordies and amazing clients who have helped me achieve this leadership promotion with Jordan Essentials! This business is so much more than the products we offer — it’s about building personal connections, making people feel seen, and offering real solutions for things that people struggle with like poor sleep, inflammation, and muscle pain. I’ve always wanted to do something that truly makes a difference for others, and Jordan Essentials gives me that opportunity. Hearing from my clients how well our products are working for them and how they are now implementing self-care routines when they never have before makes me feel incredibly fulfilled! Seeing my team grow and my customers experience life-changing results keeps me inspired every day. I’m thrilled to be here, and excited for what’s ahead! I pray over my business and trust that God will bring the right people into my life so that I can continue making a positive impact in the lives of others!

Diane Landen
Director

I'm Diane from Chesterfield, Virginia!  I had never even heard of Jordan Essentials until I had the opportunity to hear Nancy speak at a leadership conference. I sat there thinking, “WOW, what an amazing woman and company.”  10 months later I joined this amazing company. I never knew of the benefits of magnesium and all of the products we carry. I am so grateful to be part of this company and an amazing team! I love being part of a company where we can share products to help people with real problems. Thank you Nancy and Home Office for an amazing opportunity!

Melissa Preston
Director

Hi fellow Jordies! I'm Melissa, or Missy as my close friends call me. I'm from upstate NY and am about to celebrate 20 years of marriage with my husband Jim. We have 2 amazing kids, Luke and Madeline. Luke is 13 and loves all things sports and music. Madeline is 12 and loves theatre, art and her cats. 

I'm so honored to be a part of Jordan Essentials and have an amazing upline and team to thank! When thirty-one closed their doors in December, I wasn't sure I wanted to do direct sales anymore. One zoom with Nancy and Hope changed all that and I couldn't wait to get started. 

I love these products and I'm passionate about sharing them with my family and friends. They are changing lives and even my kids are getting on board. When your teenage son tells you the products are amazing, you know you've succeeded

I'm so excited for my team's future and to see them continue to grow. Thank you JE for the opportunities to do so.

Pat Morris
Director

Hi fellow Jordies , I’m Pat Morris in South Florida, my journey has been an exciting one. I’ve loved JE since the bunny days. Four years ago I decided to sign up on my birthday as a gift to myself. It’s the gift that keeps giving. I didnt know anyone in the company anymore but jumped in. A sweet southern voice called me one day (Delana Wood) and life changed. The friendships I’ve made and the lives I’ve impacted are immeasurable. My word this year was Build and building my business was part of that. Proud of my team and growing and sharing these wonderful products. Inspired by a heartfelt book that brings tears to my eyes every time I recall it - this team becomes the Day Makers.


Director Promotion

Maggie Gonski
Director

Hi everyone! I'm Maggie Gonski from Greenfield, Indiana! I'm so thankful and honored to be celebrating a double promotion from Star 3 to Director in the month of March after just 4 months with Jordan Essentials. I'm grateful for Nancy's wise words back in January of 2024; I just have to keep telling myself, "Everything works out for Maggie." I'm also thankful for the JE community as the transition into the world of consumable products and learning how to help my customers feel better has been a little bit of a learning curve for me! I'm loving sharing the products and the JE opportunity and I'm SO proud of my small but mighty team, Team Aspire! 

Outside of JE-- I'm also a florist, a cat mama, and a wife of 8 years to my super supportive, college sweetheart, Allen. I'm looking forward to celebrating so many more wins for JE, my team, and myself-- there's SO much more to come!! 


Director Promotion

Valerie Minton
Director

On November 14, 2024, I had no idea what I was doing. Thirty-One had announced their closure three weeks before and I honestly didn't know what was next. I received messages from two of my upline leaders asking if I had heard about Jordan Essentials and that a few in our Thirty-One Sisterhood were going to "Jump in the Jordan" together. Did I want to join them?

I jumped in that day, blindly, not knowing a thing, and found out that God had orchestrated it all. He had this company perfectly positioned for us: faith-based, debt-free, authentic, life-changing, 25 years and growing.

I'm not sure how promoting to Director happened so quickly, but I am embracing the challenge. I'm still learning, and I know this is where I'm suppose to be.  I am grateful for Nancy's vision to help women create something empowering, and pray that Jordan Essentials does indeed grow to be a 100 year old company.


Director Promotion

Cathy Reichert
Director

Hello, I’m Cathy from “the Mitten”!

This is my story of how I came to be a “Jordie” in November 2024, which was completely guided by God!

After my previous Direct Sales company closed, I found myself looking for my next adventure but wasn’t sure what God had planned for me, and so after some processing time, I decided to seek out more Faith based companies (yes, God can use a Google search! Haha).

I found a couple and God quickly narrowed it down to Jordan Essentials. I still wasn’t feeling the Lord lead me to move forward yet, so I patiently waited and prayed for Him to show me if this was indeed where I should go, and I wouldn’t make a move until He said so.

Well, shortly after that JP had invited anyone who was wondering about their next adventure to join her zoom, so I did!

I listened to her share her situation and how at Leader Summit she had a stick that she brought back and set on her desk. When she was finished sharing her story she picked up the stick and showed us and I about fell off my chair!!! It was a Jordan Essentials Skin Stick!!! I immediately got the Jesus “chills” and I knew that God had orchestrated all of this and He said my time was now!

I “jumped in the Jordan” with so many other ladies after leaving Thirty-One on November 14 and the Lord has done nothing but bless my socks off!! I was able to hit Director in such a short amount of time, and that was not something that was even on my radar! And God brought it about while I was managing Congestive Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy! God is so good to me!!

I fell in love with the products and all that they do for me and my family! Aside from removing toxic products from our home, we are finding relief for so many things. Migraines, anxiety, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Restless legs and sleep deprivation just to name a few! I am honored to walk with my team, Jordan’s Jems and share Jordan Essentials with as many people as we can!

Hillary Barbati
Director

Hi! I'm Hillary Barbati from Webster, NY!

My short time with Jordan Essentials has been so amazing and I'm so glad to have found my new home 💚. I didn't think I had it in my to start over when my previous company closed their doors - but I knew I would miss the community and connections that I had built there and many of them were continuing their journey with Jordan Essentials.

I have been in direct sales for 11 years and it has allowed me to contribute to my family income while having a flexible schedule to be there for our two kids (Enzo - 10 and Mia - almost 6) or for impromptu puppy snuggles with our Golden Retriever, Ruby. I also love that I can work from anywhere as I am also a travel advisor and love to travel a lot! (obviously!) 🌴

So thankful to Nancy and the Home Office team for all that they do to help my team and I succeed!

Hi, I'm a Jordie/ Director from a small town rural area in central MN. I'm am so thankful & blessed to be part of the  Jordan Essentials family. Beyond the friendships, new & old, mentors, upline, sideline, all the lines, leadership team and our entire home office / team...it's just truly a winning combination. My March was a perfect storm or goodness. March Madness fun in my VIP group, DIY's and multiple in-person events, Spingo and my very first PB texting party...all combined to reach my highest PV. I look forward to growing my customer base & team with many booked vendor events and parties I have coming up. This opportunity is a gem. Thank you Nancy & all.

Thank you so much for this amazing recognition. How cool to be named the top sponsor for our company in March!

Believe it or not, I actually brought in two new team members just from partying! The first was from a team mega party and the second was from my first JE text party. That just goes to show the party is still very powerful!

I absolutely love this new gig and find it incredibly rewarding to help people. Every day, I get to make a difference in someone's life, and that is what motivates me. Contributing to our team and seeing it grow, not just in numbers but in strength and capability, is something I truly cherish.

Thank you once again for this recognition. I look forward to continuing our journey together and reaching even greater heights.

In Like a Lion, Out Like a... Record-Breaker!

That old saying might be true for the weather, but not for JE! We came roaring into March and just kept going—with love, style, and some serious teamwork. We’re not just breaking records—we’re doing it with heart. I’m constantly in awe of the hard work, optimism, and passion this team brings. It’s truly an honor to lead and serve such an incredible group of people.

Some of you may have heard during our JE Live that my husband Ron had a surprise quadruple bypass on March 14th. Yep—our biggest sales month in company history, and my focus had to shift in a heartbeat (pun fully intended). Life has a way of showing up unexpectedly.

The good news? Ron is doing great! He was fit, his heart was strong—it was just those sneaky arteries and veins not doing their job. He’s healing quickly, and we’re so thankful.

Meanwhile, I had to rely on something we don’t talk about enough: the power of preparation. I leaned on the amazing foundation we’ve built at JE and, most importantly, the people. The work I had done before that moment carried me through. I asked for help. I let others step up. And guess what? They did—beautifully.

Here are a few little tips I want to share with you, in case life ever throws you a curveball too—whether it's a graduation, an illness, a new baby or grandbaby, or just a moment when you need to pause:

  1. Work hard now. Build a loyal customer base of raving fans who’ll keep showing up, even when you can’t.

  2. Subscriptions are gold. They keep your business running—even on days you can’t.

  3. Build deep relationships. Those good humans? They will show up for you.

  4. Let your team lead now. That way, if you need to step away, they’re ready. People want to help—let them!

  5. Stay mentally optimistic. Real optimism (not the fake kind) has been proven to help people stay healthier, happier, and bounce back stronger.

So here I am, closing out this March newsletter full of gratitude. Ron is healing, the JE community is thriving, and I am reminded once again that when we all work together, life and JE can go hand in hand.

Here’s to a fresh, fabulous spring—you amazing Jordie!

With love and sunshine,
Nanc

The Power of Small Wins

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Direct Selling University (DSU) conference, and like always, it left me filled with fresh inspiration and purpose. One of the highlights was hearing from Jeff Olson, the author of The Slight Edge. His message was simple but incredibly powerful: 

Success doesn’t come from big breakthroughs. It comes from doing small things consistently and persistently over time.

That idea struck a chord with me because it’s exactly what we see in the field daily. It’s not about having a perfect party, the biggest team, or the most sales overnight. It’s about daily decisions—following up with one more customer, making one more sample, posting one more story.

The truth is, small wins add up to big change. That extra 10 minutes spent reaching out to someone, that choice to show up to a training call, or even taking the time to try a new product yourself—those are Slight Edge moments. You may not see the impact right away, but over time, they build unstoppable momentum.

At Jordan Essentials, we often celebrate big achievements (and rightfully so!), but today I want to celebrate you—the consultant who chose to keep going, who made progress this week, and who showed up even when it wasn’t easy.

Your journey doesn’t have to be fast. It just has to be forward.

Let’s keep taking small steps because together, they create a business and a life you’re proud of. 


Melissa Fargnoli
Digital Marketing Manager

March was officially our best month EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU! Your excitement, consistency, and commitment to sharing Jordan Essentials makes a huge impact. You’ve shown that when we lead with purpose and passion, big things happen. The Spring Gift Guide launch is the perfect tool to keep that momentum going, so keep shining and showing up!

Quick Social Tip: Try using stories more often! Feature the products from the Spring Gift Guide with a quick video on how you use it or why you love it. Real-life moments will help build trust and make it easier for others to say “yes!” This month, keep it simple, and do your best to stay consistent. You’re not just selling products, you’re helping others feel confident, live healthier, and care for themselves a little more. Let’s keep growing together!


Hope Shortt
Director of Sales & Field Development

Hello Jordies!

Wow—what an incredible, record-breaking March! I’m so proud of how you continue to show up and shine. Every sample shared, every party held, every connection made… it’s all moving us closer to our mission of becoming a household name—and it’s all because of YOU. Thank you for everything you do!

Now, here we go into a brand-new season with fresh energy and exciting momentum. April is packed with amazing specials and the launch of our Spring Gift Guide—perfect for Mother’s Day, Teacher Appreciation, Nurses, Grads, Father’s Day, and more.

I want to encourage you to lean in this month. We’ve added new training, updated party tools, and fresh content inside Boards—go check it out and use these tools to work smarter, not harder.

And don’t forget the power of gathering!
🌿 Host a patio party, have some fun getting in person! 
🌮 Grab chips and salsa and turn a local restaurant hangout into a fun Sip & Shop

There are so many simple, meaningful ways to share the Jordan Essentials love this season. Be bold. Try something new. Be committed to growth.

As always, your mindset matters. Choose positivity. Choose gratitude. Choose growth—and don’t keep it to yourself. There’s never been a better time to be part of Jordan Essentials… are you telling others?

Lean in. Lock arms. Let’s grow.
We’re on the verge of another amazing month!

With gratitude and excitement,
Hope Shortt
