We were lucky to catch up with Christen Funderburk recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Christen, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I found my purpose through prayer. I remember a few months after graduating college with a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, I still did not know what I wanted to do with my life. I kept getting rejected from jobs in my field and I began praying to God telling him that I just needed to know why he put me on this earth and asking him to send me a sign of what I was supposed to do with my life. I kept hearing my spirit say “I already did”. I was so confused for weeks, and then I got a phone call. So lets rewind to my last semester of college, I began making my own laundry detergent because I had eczema and the commercial detergents would always make my skin breakout. So, fast forward back to that phone call, lol. The call was from a family friend that purchased a gallon from me a few weeks before. She was so excited to tell me that the laundry detergent helped lighted the dark marks under her arms. That phone call made me feel so good to know that a product I unknowingly knew would add value to some ones life actually did, it actually helped them. Eventually I realized that helping people feel good was my purpose. Whether it’s a compliment, having a conversation with someone that’s lonely or making skincare products that has helped transform peoples skin, my purpose is simply to serve. So, prayer really helped me to find my purpose.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I help individuals with skin conditions or sensitive skin create lasting lifetime changes to help increase the health of their skin and overall wellness. I am also the owner of Lizzie’s All natural Products which is a skincare company. Our best selling product is our Eczema Butter.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Hmm…good question! I would say that 3 qualities, skills or areas of knowledge that have been most impactful in my journey would be being consistent, understanding that you have to motivate yourself and also just being a good person – being an upstanding, honest business owner that people can trust. Your word and your reputation is the most important thing you own. Make sure you don’t do anything to taint that.
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
My parents believe in me. Literally, anything I want to do they would be behind me 100% and I an so grateful for that.
