Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Reichenbach .
Hi Danielle, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Our story is one of a kind for sure! My sister and I both worked in the medical industry in cardiology before we opened. Agape Juice. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage three about four years ago, that’s when we really put our minds together. We know nutrition plays such a huge role in healing your body.. We started juicing right away to get all the fresh pressed vitamins and minerals that we could. After telling my family that I didn’t want to go the conventional route, no chemo or radiation, I mentioned to our dad that we should open up a juice shop, He took that idea very seriously, and moved quickly. He was a businessman and we all were going to have a roll in this little shop. Unfortunately, he passed away about two months into us opening.. we surly weren’t prepared for that. At that point, our mom was diagnosed with leukemia. We think maybe she was just so sad and stressed. She made herself very sick. So here we are three years later., God is good. Our family gets healthier every day and we are in a lovely community that blesses us in so many ways!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
During this time period, I found that I was 95% full of black mold and my breast implants were making me extremely sick. It was a rough time over the past few years. Loss of my dad, my mom’s health, my implants, and running a brand new business with my sister. Talk about leaning on my faith, understanding that the struggle is worth the sacrifice if it means I can grow closer to my purpose.
