A Peak at some of our Royal Crown Diamonds in Young Living

California, USA
When Carol Yeh-Garner bought her Starter Kit in October 2013, she had no plans of starting a Young Living business; but she loved the oils and diffuser so much that she started sharing her story, and her business grew organically. With a large existing network, Carol built her business very quickly—reaching Silver in fewer than 3 months, Diamond in 11, and Royal Crown Diamond in 27.
In 2015, Carol’s husband, Scott, transitioned from his job as a teacher to begin working with Carol in their essential oils business.
Carol’s business-building approach focuses on helping others fall in love with their essential oils and building their business in a personable, natural way. Her experience in clinical social work and hypnotherapy have helped her support her team and replicate her success. She’s shared her insights as a speaker at Young Living’s International Grand Convention and at many other business events. Carol and Scott’s goals are to help as many of their team members as possible be successful with their Young Living businesses and to make a positive impact in people’s health.
Carol and Scott live in Carlsbad, California, with their two kids and their dog. Together, they have traveled to Young Living farms around the world and are very excited about working to create a legacy for their family and for their team.*

This couple has experienced opportunities and adventures to last a lifetime, traveling to more than 30 countries, and they greatly attribute their successes to Young Living. “Our career with Young Living has given us the opportunity to live life full out, in every stage of life,” Adam says. “We just welcomed our first son, William, to the world and have the freedom to both be at home for these precious moments of life.”

As many Young Living members have found, both Adam and Vanessa agree that one of the greatest blessings of this business is working with others and helping them succeed. “I enjoy having a purpose greater than myself,” Adam explains. “Being able to solidify our family’s financial future—our legacy for our growing family—while assisting others to do the same seems like a dream job.”

Financial independence began as a goal for Adam long ago. “Growing up, I was very fiscally responsible,” he says. Not only did he pay for his own college education, but he also purchased a house at 20 and paid off the mortgage by 25. “We want to continue helping others to become financially stable and free,” he says.

Adam and Vanessa continue to inspire anyone they meet. “I have never felt a passion for a career like I have with Young Living,” Adam says. “It never feels like work when we are active out in the field, meeting members and families and sharing our story.” *

Carla and Bill Green like to spend their time exploring the great outdoors, traveling the world, and dancing every opportunity they get. Bill loves motorcycles and has even been known to motorcycle from their home in Alberta, Canada, to Salt Lake City to help raise funds for the Young Living Foundation. They are passionate about empowering others to, as they put it, “take charge of their health and find financial success.”

While raising their four children, who also joined Young Living, Bill and Carla made the decision to always keep one parent home, no matter the financial sacrifices. Carla explains, “Knowing that our kids and other parents can use Young Living to stay at home is what makes my heart sing.”

Helping others reach financial freedom is the Greens’ way of paying it forward. “We’ve always been giving people,” Bill says, “but with Young Living, we’re able to give so much more.”

Lindsey Gremont worked at IBM for 15 years doing corporate and IT strategy for very large companies, which taught her several valuable lessons about networking. Four years prior to joining Young Living, Lindsey created her Homemade Mommy blog because she loves sharing with others how to provide unprocessed, real food for their families.

After nine months of trying samples from her friends April Pointer and Jen Jordan, Lindsey enrolled with Young Living, though she was so busy with her corporate job and writing two books for her blog that she didn’t jump into the business with both feet. Three months later, she invested the time to try the oils for herself and verify that they helped her and her family. Only then did she start to share with others on her blog.

Lindsey had no idea what her potential would be with Young Living when she started. Once she hit Silver, she knew that she’d be able to reach Diamond rank shortly thereafter. According to Lindsey, “When I set my heart on something, I just do it, and it happens!”

Lindsey has been able to leave her corporate job for good and is glad that she’ll never have to work a day job again. Her husband, Evan, has now joined her business, and they feel tremendously blessed that Young Living came into their lives. *

As a Young Living member of 25 years, Marcella Vonn Harting has a deep love for the business. “Being an entrepreneur runs in the family,” Marcella explains. Her passion for learning is shown in her PhDs in integrated health and psychoneurology. “I could be in school my whole life,” she says. That sentiment carries over into everything she does, as seen in her email signature: “Live with passion.”

Not only has she enjoyed achieving dreams and goals through Young Living, but she is now motivated most by helping others do the same. “I believe in people before they believe in themselves,” she says, “Serving others lights me up.” Marcella goes on to share that her happiness is a choice and a reflection of her life. “I don’t know how you could be where I am in this company and not be happy,” she says. “I wake up in the morning and know I’m making a difference. If God took me today, I would have no regrets in my life because of the experiences I’ve had with Young Living.” *

As partners in life and business, Max and Karen Hopkins both agree that their true success in Young Living began when they started working together. “Before Young Living, I was at a time in my life when I felt I’d failed at everything,” Karen says, “but Max always believed in me and supported me.”
Max goes on to say that, “Karen is my greatest influence. Whatever it takes for her to get somewhere and share about Young Living, she will do. She’s my hero.”
They have also greatly enjoyed being involved with the details of the Seed to Seal® commitment. “We’ve been to nine of the global farms and worked on each one. I’ve planted seeds, cut, harvested, and sealed the bottles myself,” Max says.
Karen explains how Young Living was never about the money: “Abundance to us is never being limited in our ability to give. That is what Young Living offers us.” She also takes inspiration from a prayer given by her mother. “When my mom was going to lose me six months into the pregnancy, she dedicated me to God. Knowing that motivates me to succeed,” Karen says.
Max and Karen have shared 46 years of marriage. Their greatest treasures include their three children and eight grandchildren. *

Carol and Ben, who spend most of their home time in a small town on Vancouver Island, say their favorite part about working with Young Living is being able to help improve the quality of life for someone else. Carol goes on to say, “I love seeing when people have that ‘light bulb moment’ as they advance in their personal development.”
Young Living products aren’t the only change that this business brought to the Howdens. Carol says that in the past she was a shy, introverted person. “Then I discovered that when you care more than you fear, you speak up,” she says. “I have no doubts about what I’m sharing, and the reward is always far greater than any fear.”
Carol and Ben agree that Young Living has provided them with a wonderful, fulfilling life. “We love to travel, experience other cultures, and spend time with family.” Because of their experiences with this business and its people, Carol says, “Our lives will be forever changed, and we remain forever grateful.” *

Sera Johnson’s Young Living journey started in 2006 after she asked God to reveal his plan and tools for her family’s abundant health. She found her answer in Young Living Essential Oils. After extensive research and viewing photos of Gary Young on the company farms, she knew this opportunity would change her life.
As Sera saw how the Starter Kit impacted her family’s life, she felt a burning desire to teach and empower others. She became an unstoppable force when she read about essential oils from the Bible and constantly shared Young Living with the world. Along with her phenomenal team, Sera loves to encourage others to focus on their own unique Young Living journey. She believes that using the products consistently to achieve personal wellness, sharing with passion and purpose, and dreaming big as they discover abundance can help others live a greater life.
Sera and her husband, Darren, balance running the business with homeschooling their four children. Their family loves the freedom Young Living offers. They can travel, pursue their God-given passions, support ministries, and bless others. They couldn’t be more grateful! *

Growing up, Jen Jordan knew she wanted to be a doctor, but on her way to getting a degree, she realized that she didn’t want the lifestyle associated with the health care industry. In her words, she “handed her dream over to God,” and when a husband and then three children came into her life, she felt her decision was confirmed, and her role as a wife and mother took priority. “This was it. This is what I was made for,” she says. Today she helps others become “their own health advocates,” and she feels certain that God prepared her for this role through her education and experience. “I feel like Young Living handed my dream back to me,” she says.
Jen’s experience with oils began around 2009, when her sister, April Pointer, who is also a Royal Crown Diamond, introduced her to Young Living. Jen relates that her initial response was not a positive one: “I thought she was crazy!” she says. Jen started using oils two years later, but then only as a “closet oiler,” despite the fact that essential oils changed her life. She reluctantly taught her first class, thinking that the attendees would just “go away” after listening. Of course, that didn’t happen.
With a life motto of “Love God; love people,” Jen has built her business around encouraging, empowering, and building others up. She explains that she is “continuing a culture of positivity” in the lives of the leaders she works with. Jen and her husband are inspired to continue that generosity with those they meet in everyday life.*

Joanne and Eric’s passion for Young living’s mission kickstarted their business and propelled them to become role models and leaders in the company. Their Young Living journey began in 2011, when Joanne was looking for household products formulated without toxins. After her positive experience with Young Living products, Joanne started sharing them with her friends and family. Once she received her first check in the mail, she realized she was creating her own business! When Joanne reached Gold rank in 2013, her husband, Eric, joined in to help out.
Before Joanne discovered Young Living, she had aspired to become a Waldorf early childhood teacher because she wanted to nurture children and educate parents. Young Living allows her to do just that and more! Beyond her role as an educator, Joanne is a mother, international speaker, author, and entrepreneur.
This power couple helped to launch the Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China markets and are currently leading the largest Chinese global team in Young Living. Their team includes four Royal Crown Diamonds and many other Diamonds!
Joanne looks forward to new challenges in her life. She says, “Having a growth mindset is important. I adapt and stay positive when met with challenges.” One of those challenges was writing the book Following the Leader, a book dedicated to her beloved mentor—and Young Living Founder—D. Gary Young. In her book she retells what she learned and observed from Gary over the 30 times she worked closely with him beginning in 2011 until he passed away in 2018. *

In 2013 Melissa Koehler was pregnant with her third child and wondered where she would find time to devote to her photography business. She had spent nine years building it through blogs and social media, but her husband traveled for work, and with three babies at home, she thought she would have to put her dreams aside. During this time, her friend Lindsay Moreno introduced her to Young Living essential oils. Melissa was thrilled to try them and shared them through her social media outlets.

For two months she received messages from friends and acquaintances about the oils, which she answered privately, but she didn’t pursue the business publicly until she knew that working with Young Living would allow her to continue her professional dreams and potentially free up her husband’s time. Melissa, along with her husband, Mark, work together from home now, and Melissa enjoys working on her photography on the side.

Melissa finds inspiration in helping women build successful businesses and relating to them through her own story. “It brings me so much joy to do that,” she explains. Her joy comes with challenges though, and she occasionally struggles to believe in herself. Melissa finds it helpful to seek out others for affirmation and support when she is struggling the most and says that she can overcome. “I’m always going to be working on that,” she says. *

Kari Lewis fell in love with her starter kit the moment she opened it in 2014, and has shared the goodness of essential oils ever since. Not long after her introduction, she realized growing a business with Young Living would be a worthwhile investment of her time. She recalls asking herself the question, “Why not?” and dedicated her time and energy to what she describes as a “beautiful whirlwind.” Kari enjoys working alongside her best friends and making new friends through her work with Young Living, and she is grateful for the opportunity her husband now has to spend more time at home with her and their children.
Despite their fierce dedication to growing with Young Living, Kari and Zach make time for their relationships first: dating each other, spending time with their children, and going on adventures. Kari finds inspiration in the people around her and the adventures she takes. Before Young Living, Kari was a couples photographer, photographing couples in all stages of life—from dating, to engagement, to fifty years of marriage.
Kari and Zach are foster parents, and have a passion for the role they play in the lives of the kids they take in. “I am who I am today because of the children that have looked to me as mom, and the way that God has shown me how much He loves and cares deeply for each of us,” says Kari. She loves exploring outdoors and taking her children for walks. Kari and Zach have two children, a boy and girl, and a miniature schnauzer named Cece. *

Joanna Malone, a former action sports designer, thought she had the perfect job before Young Living; but through her work with essential oils, she found more purpose. Joanna and her husband, Justin, have a passion for the products, the business, and their team, which Joanna says, “Comes from seeing people have breakthroughs in their lives and reach new levels of life—whether physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual.”

Joanna feels like the business chose her, and she embraced her calling from the very start. Her journey has been one of magical transformation, which she sees as one “big, personal developmental project.” This inspires her to give back and dedicate time to in-person experiences at retreats that inspire growth. These team-favorite experiences focus on emotional health, where Joanna can use her gifts of empathy and encouragement to help others reach their own potential.

Connie Marie McDanel is on a mission to help as many women as possible by teaching the importance of creating a financial back-up plan for life’s unexpected circumstances. Raised by entrepreneurial parents who owned a successful agate wholesaling business, she learned important lessons at a young age about customer relationships and looking at the big picture to maintain a successful company.

Growing up on a hobby farm, she dedicated herself to her horses and later become a 14-time saddle winner in the North Dakota rodeo circuit. In the 1980s, she was instrumental in achieving equal pay for women athletes in the North Dakota Rodeo Association and other state associations. Connie was featured nationally in an Associated Press article by Will Grimsley that highlighted women in sports. She also made a talk show appearance with TV game show host Gene Rayburn in New York City.

Now residing in Minnesota, Connie has a love of preservation and protection of our land and natural resources, which she says drew her to Young Living in 1998. A company that values and respects sustainability and preservation of nature, Young Living inspired her to educate her community about the importance of creating a healing home and the ability to lead others in creating their own entrepreneurial empires. She now leads a group of over 100,000 members in 24 countries and continues to personally mentor those who share the passion to get essential oils into every home. She wants all Young Living leaders to know that though this journey will challenge you, it pays to be brave! *

For both Jeremiah and Monique, faith and family are what matter most. Previous to finding Young Living, they experienced setbacks with other business ventures. “Things crashed and burned.” Monique says. “When I decided to go into business with Young Living, we wanted to make sure our priorities were in line.”

Through the trials and errors, they agree that there are great lessons to be learned from mistakes. “My goal now is to do everything with excellence and put God first. When you do that, it pays off.” Monique says.

In many ways, Young Living has not only reset their priorities, but also helped previous dreams to be realized. “Through this business, I can combine my greatest passions into one.” Monique explains. “Before—when I worked as a nurse—I was unsure of myself because I wasn’t using my gifts and talents.”

Spending quality family time every day and being relieved of financial burdens add to the list of benefits they now experience through Young Living. What inspires them now is helping others. “I take every opportunity to point people to God.” Monique says. “We want to help others to find their sparkle.” *

Lindsay is a world champion iPhone karaoke singer, expert problem solver, and avoider of all household chores. She has a collection of dry shampoo that puts any momtrepreneur to shame. Her passions include helping women start businesses, watching videos of baby goats online, and seeing the world with her family.

Together, Lindsay and Michael live in their Barbie Dreamhouse in Colorado with their three daughters and the family mascot, Fitzgerald.
Lindsay started her Young Living business in 2013. Her goal was to bring essential oils and an online business to her tribe—which is mostly made up of moms with kids at home and not a lot of time for extra anything. With a strong desire to make the business and product easier, the Lemon Dropper team was born and grew at an alarming rate. Michael joined the team to take care of the back end of the business in 2014 because Lindsay’s brain doesn’t work like that. Together, they have started multiple other businesses together.
Because Lindsay’s business was completely built online through writing and connecting with women through words, she published the book Getting Noticed in 2017 and recently signed with the HarperCollins for two new books. The first will release in the fall of 2019. *

Before her contact with Young Living, Jessica Petty had several experiences with essential oils, but it wasn’t until seeing Young Living’s lavender farm in Mona, Utah, that she knew she needed to become a Young Living member. From that moment on, this former stockbroker wanted to share her love of oils with others, but she had reservations about direct selling to family and friends. Her concerns were resolved after Young Living members in a social media group explained that the core of Young Living was about sharing knowledge, not pushy selling. Jessica started and grew a successful business, despite the disappointment of low attendance at her first class.
Jessica is married to Nathan Petty, a wedding photographer who supports Jessica through taking care of their four children and their home, contributing to her success by “picking up the slack.” The Petty family enjoys miniature golfing together, and Jessica enjoys reading and meditation. Nathan attests that if she has a free moment, her mind turns to oils. “I just wake up so excited,” she says. “I never thought work could be fun.”

April Pointer found Young Living in 2009 and purchased a bottle of Thieves®—now Thieves Vitality™—for her husband’s immune system. It worked and made them believers. Essential oils were the missing link in their home with her love of health, wellness, and natural living.
After two years of using oils, she looked at the income opportunity after enrolling a friend who desired to generate an income with YL. April decided it was time to take a shot. With the humble goal of getting her oils paid for each month, they began teaching monthly classes together. “Teaming up had a major impact on our success,” she says. Momentum set in, and it grew each month.
At Gold, Jay was laid off from his corporate job, and April’s YL income ended up being the “plan B” they never planned for. Jay found a niche in April’s business while still pursuing his own goals. They went on to achieve Royal Crown Diamond in 2014. “History is happening with essential oils, and we are in the greatest company in the world!” she says, alluding to the musical Hamilton.
The Pointers desire to build a culture of goodness, freedom, and legacy. “I want to build something that is going to outlive me,” April says. They desire to make a difference and are passionate about establishing clean water wells, ending human trafficking, supporting disaster relief, and missions.
April’s advice: “Talk less and listen more. Effective and focused listening is the unsung hero of communication.” *

Jordan Schrandt was introduced to Young Living while working as a freelance writer for agricultural publications. Because of the purity of Young Living products, Jordan felt a need to leave a “toxic culture and chemical-laden society.” Though her dream was writing and communications, she decided it was time to step away from writing about the world of harsh and toxic chemicals in our food and products and instead focus on educating people about a lifestyle of overall wellness.

Today, Jordan and Doug run their Young Living business while also raising eight children. Jordan returned to her first love of writing and recently published and launched her own magazine—a place where she combines natural living with the publication world.

Jordan also enjoys playing the piano, running, homeschooling, and homesteading. She loves empowering women and sharing her faith with others.

While they now share the same career and lifestyle, Scott and Brenda both had different jobs before their involvement with Young Living. “When Brenda first came to me with the idea to join Young Living, we were ready to declare bankruptcy.” Scott explains. “She not only helped me retire from chiropractic work, but we paid off 100,000 in debt in just 11 months.”

And the benefits only continue. “Young Living has offered us a lot of firsts.” Brenda says. “The most recent was when I repelled down a waterfall in Ecuador.” Scott adds that, “we could couch surf the world with all the friends we’ve made.”
Those friends now include many new members of Young Living. Scott says, “We meet people where they’re at in life. Instead of pushing anyone, we support and empower them.” Brenda agreed that, “we help people see their strengths and how they can use those in our team.”

Their newfound flexibility includes knowing no sacrifices are being made on their personal and financial wellbeing. “We know now that there’s a better way.” Brenda says. “You don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck.” Scott adds that being an example is his primary objective. “I want to show others and our three young sons how to live a life by design, not by default.” *

Christa and Jason Smith have been together for almost 25 years. With OB nursing, physiology, and advertising backgrounds, it doesn’t surprise them to see how their whole-body wellness lifestyle community has blossomed.
Christa has given birth to 15 children in the span of 19 years. She shares her wisdom and inspires other mommies around the world, offering peace of mind when it comes to their babies’ best. As their community grows, the Smiths are planning to open a wellness life spa in Texas for one-on-one experiences.
The entire family works and travels for their team. While Christa conducts educational teachings, the kids manage daily activities, business classes, and follow-ups. Members know them as the “Smith Nations,” a name Christa uses, and can easily be identified. They are well-known for their “on-the-spot BIG hugs.” Jason shares business tips through his educational videos for those in the know, offering a welcomed comic relief.
The Smiths have enjoyed several cruises with seven of their children to Honduras, France, and Croatia, plus building homes in Ecuador for underprivileged families, which has given their personal homeschooling efforts new perspective and meaning. The family loves to help other families, share their vision to give their own children real-life experiences, and hold fast to their ability to go or give anytime God says to.
The Smiths love traveling. They caravan almost all summer, stopping first at the International Grand Convention. Among their favorite destinations are Lavender Day, jet skiing, and lakes. They also absolutely love the ocean. Christa says, “Being in nature with your children cannot be defined, but I’d use the word dreamy; can you pinch me?”*

Madison and Tyler Vining have been together since they were 14, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they would dive into Young Living hand-in-hand. “We got involved when we needed a system support,” says Madison, “and we woke up the next day [after using Thieves®] and bought our Starter Kit.” Since then, Madison and Tyler have been teaching and inspiring others, helping Young Living leaders and members find whole-body wellness.

Madison and Tyler both work on their team’s front lines, with Tyler managing the nuts-and-bolts aspects of the business, tracking numbers, setting goals, and coordinating travel, while Madison teaches and works with leaders. Tyler loves connecting with the men who are skeptical about Young Living, and he runs a special men’s group for this very reason.

Young Living has brought opportunities into the lives of Madison and Tyler that might not have been otherwise possible, including the opportunity to adopt three children. In 2014 Madison and Tyler were able to “say yes to God” and adopt two beautiful babies, followed by another recent adoption. The couple wants to help families fund adoptions, moving “anytime God says to move,” they say. The Vinings love being outside in nature with their five children and especially love four-wheeling on their land, where Madison says her phone is turned off, making their time together more enjoyable. *

In 2014 Vivian Wan joined Young Living as a leader. A friend introduced her to essential oils, and she fell in love immediately. Her love for Young Living products and her desire to teach others how to live healthier lives propelled her into Young Living’s highest leadership rank within 21 months, making her the fastest-advancing Royal Crown Diamond leader in Asia.

During that period of incredible growth, Vivian was able to quit her job as a marketing director, and her husband joined her business shortly after she reached the rank of Royal Crown Diamond, leading to even more growth. “It’s good that we can work together as a couple and take care of the children together. We enjoy more financial freedom and spend more time together,” she says.

Vivian genuinely enjoys the new relationships she has made with Young Living and the opportunity to be a leader. “I love to help members to become healthier…and also seeing how they grow themselves in this organization.” She values passion and hard work in leadership and continues to develop management skills through reading, hands-on experiences, and valuable advice from other Young Living leaders.

Vivian has a dream to one day open a children’s center so she can care for children who have been abused. “I want to help more innocent children. This is the reason why I keep working, even though I’ve reached the top rank in Young Living.” *

Myra Yarbrough grew up surrounded by family on a small farm in north Alabama. She was accustomed to home remedies, wellness, and nutrition prior to her introduction to Young Living. Because of her passion for inspiring others to live a beautiful life, Myra launched a lifestyle blog called MyBlessedLife.net to share her life and creativity, as well as to build friendships online.
Myra made many connections with like-minded women through her blog, including one with Alyssa Francis, who introduced her to Young Living. Myra was super skeptical and vowed she “wouldn’t ever do the business.” Her oils remained unopened on the kitchen counter for two weeks before she got the courage to open them. About six months later, Myra wrote about Lavender essential oil on her blog and a business was born. “It was an accidental business, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!” she says.
Myra and her childhood sweetheart and husband, Ernie, work as a team to run a successful business. “We divide and conquer everything,” she says. It really is an amazing thing to work from home together. Ernie makes the unglamorous side of the business successful, as he handles piles of paperwork, paying taxes, and coming up with the most amazing team incentives ever.
Since joining Young Living, Myra’s lifestyle has drastically changed. She prioritizes self-care, which enables her to be the best she can be for her family and business. Myra’s advice to those starting out in Young Living is to live intentionally and begin sooner, rather than later, saying: “Done is better than perfect. Just use your oils and share them freely!”*
