On finding meaning through work:
Simon’s team at dōTERRA is passionate about Indigenous issues and advocacy — specifically helping to bring clean drinking water to more than 150 First Nations communities in Canada that still lack access. They’re also successful business-wise, becoming the company’s first Indigenous reps to earn a coveted “diamond” ranking of top performance within the brand. “I know that there are a lot of other moms who are capable and have the desire to do something similar to what I’m doing.
Five years ago, Chua was laid off as the lead digital designer for Food Network Canada, days before finding out she was pregnant with her daughter, Edie. She was panicked. Her husband, Joey, tried to convince her to join the family business—a Toronto-based baby product distribution company calledthat he started with his sister—but Chua was hesitant.
But instead of jumping in right away, when Chua was ready to go back to work after mat leave, she took a contract job in UX design. “I hated it,” she admits. “Since becoming a mother, everything had changed. I was having a hard time spending time away from my daughter working on something I didn’t believe in. Plus, I was working on a system that didn’t interest me, there was notother woman on the team, and I was still breastfeeding. I just wanted to be home with my kid.
Officially joining the business meant Chua unofficially took over, and Hip Mommies has since expanded in every way, while being super selective in distributing only thoughtfully designed and sustainable products. They even hired Chua’s mom to be the bookkeeper. “The best part is that this all grew as my daughter did; having her has opened our eyes.
