Today we’d like to introduce you to Courtney Pollard.
Courtney, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
As a passionately curious person, I enjoy learning as much as possible. Growing up, I was a little more shy and quiet. That demeanor allowed me to sit and observe people a lot. As I became an adult and my personality flourished, I realized I had a gift that was prompted towards the human race. I eventually became a teacher and my young students opened my eyes more to us a whole. I began studying more about behavioral sciences and what drives us to be the way we are, say the things we say, etc. My personal journey through spirituality, physical health, mental health, and emotional clarity began to take a toll when I had a rough spell in life that lasted about three years. But, during this time I found myself in so many new ways. Eventually I traded in a mundane lifestyle for yoga and meditation before and after work. I began to cook all my meals at home and get into new healthy daily habits. These habits aided in my growth as a woman, mother, lover, daughter, sister, boss, and friend.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
My road to where I am now had definitely been an interesting one. It’s the type of street that drives pretty normal and when you least expect –BOOM! There’s a pot hole and a busted tire. My biggest struggle over the years was my lack of financial literacy. I grew up with the basics on money but never anything in depth to really shape my financial mindset. Bills started adding up, which led to debt adding up, which led to credit getting worse, and so forth. This took a toll on my health in many factors. My mental health suffered, emotionally I was a wreck, spiritually confused, and physically drained.
D’HILYFE – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I’ve studied behavioral sciences for six years and as a Life Coach and licensed esthetician I have experience in helping improve mental health, daily lifestyles, health habits, and the appearance and health of the skin. My company D’HILYFE was founded in November 2017. We are a holistic health and wellness company that started as a concept for a YouTube channel. The channel aimed to help elevate others to reach their highest potential by targeting all life factors that surround our health. It was not enough to present the latest weight loss gimmick or to shove unrealistic meal plans down your throat. We intend to address issues surrounding our mental, emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual health.
Now, D’HILYFE is a third-party holistic health and wellness company that highlights influencers and leaders that are making a difference in our world every day. These leaders provide easy to follow tips for the average individual to implement a healthier lifestyle every day. We educate others on the importance of nutrition, meditation, fresh air, self-help practices, finances, and so much more!
In 2020, D’HILYFE branched off into its first sub company D’HILYFE Skin. D’HILYFE SKIN is an organic, all natural, cruelty free personal care company based out of Houston, TX. We specialize in making products with 100% true essential oils, that aid in common health concerns such as anxiety, depression, aches, insomnia, and so much more!
The difference in our products is the quality and care we put into our ingredients, packaging, and distribution. All products are made safely and placed in either glass or HDPE bottles for the safety of your skin and health.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My team is everything. I give credit first to God because without him I am nothing. My family supports me in all of my ventures and they provide me with sound advice to help me make rational decisions during these ventures. My close friends that I consider my family are also strong advocates in my life. My business partner, Chasidie has been my secret weapon for a long time. I can always depend on her support, guidance, action taking attitude, and friendship to keep me pushing.
