If you've been sitting on the fence, wondering what's up with the new Young Living comp plan—and more importantly, how the hell to actually make more money—this episode is your wake-up call.
We're joined by the wildly successful (and refreshingly real) Adam Green, who breaks down exactly how the new plan works, why it's good news for brand partners, and how it's already changing the game. No fluff, no pretending it's easy—just straight talk on what it takes to grow your check, your team, and your impact in 2025.
Whether you're new to Young Living or you've been around long enough to remember the $300 diffusers (yikes), Adam's got perspective, numbers, and hilarious real-life stories that will light a fire under your butt.
What We Talk About:What's Changed in the Comp Plan (and Why It Matters): A practical breakdown of the shift away from "structure for structure's sake" toward rewarding actual sales-building behavior—aka enrolling new customers and brand partners. This is not about hoops; it's about helping people.
Why Adam's Nerding Out on the New Math: He dives into real numbers and examples (yes, with spreadsheets), showing how even a single new enrollee can bump up your compensation—without needing to recruit an army.
Don't Overcomplicate This: You don't need a funnel, a course, or an MBA. You need a list, a phone, and a willingness to start actual conversations with people. Like your accountant. (Yes, seriously.)
Real Talk from a 15-Year Vet: Adam opens up about the differences in motivation between when he started at 22 with nothing to lose, and now, with an established business. Spoiler: even after all this time, intention still wins.
Networking, Hiking, and Stinky Houses: Why he started going to 6:30am hikes (gross), how it led to new business, and how lending a diffuser helped him get into a Realtor's rotation. It's not magic. It's just movement.
You are the sales arm of the company. Own it. That's your job, and the comp plan now rewards it even more clearly.
The new plan removes excuses. It sets a low bar—one enrollee a month—and then heavily rewards consistency. If you don't take advantage of that, someone else will.
Motivation follows movement. Don't wait to feel inspired. Make the list. Send the message. Give yourself more "at bats."
You probably already know someone who's a yes. The only thing missing is you opening your mouth and offering the link.
This change is subtle but profound. It's not a revolution; it's a refocus. And that tiny shift in attention? It's got power to move the whole damn company.

In this episode, we welcome Scott Taylor, a familiar face and voice for many in the Young Living community. Scott is not only a corporate leader with deep knowledge of the comp plan, but he's also a straight shooter who breaks down complex ideas in a way that actually makes sense (and yes—he keeps it interesting).
We dive deep into Young Living's revamped Fast Start Bonus program, covering everything from PV requirements to bonus caps, to why your grandma's inactive upline might still help you get paid. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned sharer, you're going to walk away with serious clarity—and maybe even a little motivation to go re-engage that downline.
Scott Taylor brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of smarts to the table. Known for his role on Young Living's corporate team, Scott has helped shape programs that are designed to reward real effort—not just rank. He's passionate about creating simplicity, transparency, and big wins for those actively building and sharing. This episode? It's basically a masterclass, courtesy of Scott's insider perspective.
Key Takeaways:Level 1 enrollers earn 25% on new enrollments—no PV required
Level 2 enrollers earn 10%, but only if they have 50 PV
If someone in your upline isn't qualified, that 10% rolls up to the next eligible enroller
PV gets reduced by 70% for Unilevel and other bonuses during the first 3 months—but still counts fully toward rank
There's a 1,000 PV cap per new enrollee per month for Fast Start commissions (maximum $250), but earnings beyond that go through normal, unreduced bonuses
The Fast Start "clock" begins on the day the account is created, not when they place their first order
You can now earn Fast Start bonuses on reactivated members—as long as they've been inactive for 12 full months
You also earn Starter Kit Bonuses with no PV requirement
If your new enrollee creates an account on the last day of the month, don't wait! Their first calendar month starts immediately, and they'll need to place their order before the month ends for you to get that first-month bonus.
This isn't just a policy update—it's a major shift that benefits the real builders. Scott's breakdown makes it clear: if you're showing up and sharing consistently, you've got more opportunities than ever to earn. Grab your notebook (and maybe a calculator) and hit play!

In this lively and heartfelt conversation, we dive into the wellness tools we swear by—especially when we're on the go. From oils that clear headaches and boost immunity to supplements that converted even the most skeptical husbands, we're sharing it all.
We talk inflammation, immune support, emotional release, and even the bizarre politics of trying to travel with essential oils through Canadian airports (yes, we see you, Calgary). Plus, we explore how emotions impact the body, and how tools like the Feelings Kit and Release oil can help us move through heavy seasons.
This is your reminder that nature works, emotions matter, and no—you're not crazy for packing your oils like they're gold. Because they kinda are.
Key Takeaways
Nature is powerful medicine From NingXia Red reducing inflammation to Inner Defense keeping everyone healthy year after year, nature doesn't mess around. These aren't just nice-to-haves—they're our lifelines.
Traveling with oils can get weird Some airports, especially Calgary, like to play TSA Roulette with your oil bag. The tip? Say they're your medicine (because they are), and always be polite but firm. Oh, and maybe have a backup plan for frozen NingXia.
Don't sleep on the supplements Inner Defense, Deep Relief, Aroma Siez—they're the unsung heroes that keep us running. Stock up when you can, because natural health products can be tricky to keep in stock (thanks, Health Canada).
Release isn't just an oil—it's a strategy Whether it's tension in your shoulders, a heavy heart, or an emotional hangover after a tough conversation, Release can help you move that energy. One bottle in every bag? Yes please.
Your emotions affect your body Stuck feelings = stuck energy = physical symptoms. Oils aren't just woo—they're grounded support that helps you move through it all. Pair with tools like the Feelings Kit and books like The Four Agreements for deeper shifts.
Consistency is the secret sauce It's not about using one oil once. It's about creating daily rituals that support your mind, body, and soul. It doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to be yours.
Mentioned in This Episode
NingXia Red – Anti-inflammatory support
Inner Defense – Immune system booster
Deep Relief – A go-to for muscle and headache relief
Release – For emotional grounding and processing
The Feelings Kit – A daily emotional wellness protocol
The Four Agreements – A mindset reset classic
NFR (Not For Resale) orders – How Canadians access U.S.-based products through Young Living
If you've ever felt a little extra for packing an oil for every occasion, this episode will remind you that you're not alone. Oils aren't just a trend—they're part of our daily resilience. Whether you're navigating travel, health hiccups, or the emotional rollercoaster of life, there's support for that. And yes, we'll probably always have feelings about the Calgary airport.

In this 10th episode, the hosts reflect on their journey so far and how their weekly conversations have created meaningful connections—not just between themselves but with their listeners, too. The central theme of this episode revolves around how to balance education with selling on social media—a common challenge for brand partners and entrepreneurs alike.
They answer community-submitted questions and offer authentic, actionable advice for content creation, audience engagement, and finding your voice online. The conversation also drifts into fun territory, reminiscing about pandemic-era virtual gatherings, creative community-building ideas, and experimenting with low-pressure ways to show up consistently.
Key Takeaways 1. Don't Be an Ad — Be a StoryThink of your feed like a magazine or a personal TV channel. People will skip if it feels like a hard sell.
Instead of posting product images, weave your life into the content. Let products appear naturally in your daily storytelling.
Use real-life moments to spark curiosity (yes, even accidental butt grabs in photos 🤣).
People buy from people they trust. Consistently share you—not just what you're selling.
Show your lifestyle and values. Even if someone isn't a buyer now, they may be later if they feel connected to you.
Instagram doesn't like stock graphics or reposted material. Use your own photos, videos, and voice.
Drip content throughout the week instead of saying everything in one post. Create mini-series or themed content days (like Sunday Spotlights).
Start with simple stories: unboxings, why you love a product, how your family uses it.
It's a muscle! The more you go live or talk on stories, the easier it becomes.
Regular content like "Sunday Product Spotlights" can provide structure and visibility.
While they can be fun, they're often high-effort and not always great for conversion.
Consider using them as community events for existing members, not first-time prospects.
Instead, offer a class or intro first—then follow up with a fun make & take for engagement.
Make it duplicatable: sample sizes, low cost, and optional pricing (e.g., $10 per item or free with a purchase).
Whether you're hosting a class or going live, it doesn't need to be perfect.
Just show up. Let people see your face and hear your voice.
Build relationships first, conversions will follow.

In this episode, the ladies of The Real Housewives of Young Living tackle an elephant in the room — the recent wave of confusion and frustration among Canadian consumers around what it means to "buy Canadian," especially in the world of wellness and essential oils. The team dives into the deep Canadian roots of Young Living, busting myths about the company being "too American" and reminding listeners that supporting YL is, in many cases, directly supporting Canadian families and small businesses.
They passionately defend the company's integrity, Canadian operations, and global sourcing, while getting real about the complexity of ethical consumerism. Bonus: they also dish out personal stories on how to juggle the demands of being a YL brand partner while keeping your family and self-care intact.
Key TakeawaysYoung Living is Canadian too. Despite its U.S. headquarters, Young Living has deep roots in Canada: two distribution centers, a Canadian farm, and a passionate network of Canadian brand partners. Founder Gary Young himself lived in Canada and had a heart for the country.
Supporting YL = Supporting Canadian Small Business. Many Canadians rely on YL as their primary or supplemental income. When you order through a Canadian brand partner, you're keeping income and economic support in Canada.
"Made in Canada" ≠ Always Canadian. Many "Canadian" essential oil brands source oils from the same generic suppliers, slap on a label, and market it as local. In contrast, YL owns their farms, partners with vetted growers worldwide, and operates with transparency and ethics.
It's about integrity, not just location. Support companies that do good globally and locally. Young Living provides living wages, invests in community support (like during wildfires), and donates 100% of its foundation profits.
Balance in the business journey. The team gets vulnerable about the early hustle and the toll it can take on family life. Setting boundaries, turning off notifications, and involving your kids in the mission are key to building sustainably.

In this heart-filled, laugh-out-loud episode, the Wild Diamonds dig into their most cherished Young Living retreat memories — from getting pampered in Bali to locking themselves out of hotel rooms in nothing but a bathrobe (yes, that happened). But beyond the glamour and the NingXia-fueled adventures, the hosts share something deeper: how connection, community, and getting outside your comfort zone can completely shift your business — and your mindset.
The ladies reflect on how retreats became turning points for them and their partners, offering fresh perspective, real-life friendships, and the spark to keep showing up even when life gets messy. Plus, they rave about the simplicity and impact of Wild Notes events — no pressure, no perfection, just pure connection. If you've been feeling stuck or solo in your wellness biz, this episode is your sign to get back in the room and back in the game.
Key Takeaways:Retreats are game-changers: From Silver to Diamond Retreats, the trips are more than bougie perks — they're permission to dream bigger, bond deeper, and believe again.
Skeptical spouses become believers: Partners who once resisted were won over after experiencing retreats firsthand. The moral? Show them, don't tell them.
Community is the antidote to isolation: Whether it's a cruise, a farm visit, or a backyard Wild Notes party — gathering in real life fills your cup in a way Zoom never could.
Hosting doesn't need to be hard: Wild Notes is an easy, duplicatable way to connect with others, create community, and spark interest in oils without overthinking.
Your comfort zone is killing your momentum: Get out of your sweats, get into the room, and remember what makes this journey magical — the people.
Weekly connection matters: Even a regular podcast recording with crossline friends can be the anchor that pulls you out of a rut and back into your purpose.

In this episode, the Canadian Wild Diamonds crew tackles the hot topic of tariffs—yes, the "T-word"—and what the recent U.S.-Canada trade tensions might mean for Young Living members. The team breaks down the basics of how tariffs work, reassures listeners about immediate product pricing, and shares tips for navigating potential changes with calm and clarity (and maybe some citrus trees).
Beyond the politics, they shift into practical mode, dishing out money-saving hacks for Young Living products. From stretching laundry soap to maxing out Loyalty Rewards, this episode is packed with smart ways to make your wellness budget go further—without sacrificing your favorite oils.
Oh, and yes…toilet paper may be the new gold. Again.
In This Episode:
What the heck are tariffs, really? We break it down Sesame Street-style — because this month's letter is T (tariffs, toilet paper, and totally valid confusion).
Will this affect your Young Living orders in Canada? Probably not immediately. We chatted with corporate and give you the latest info on product availability, pricing, and what's already stocked in Canadian warehouses.
When political tension meets product loyalty: We share real stories — including a 5-year member leaving over trade drama — and how to respond with grace, empathy, and education.
Emotions vs. economics: How to stay grounded, shut off the fear-mongering news, and still make conscious buying decisions without going full prepper (yes, we're talking about toilet paper again)

In this episode of The Real Housewives of Young Living, the hosts sit down with Gaia, a powerhouse behind the scenes of Young Living's newest venture: clean, elegant fragrance. If you've ever ditched perfume because of toxic ingredients—or missed that signature scent—you'll want to tune in.
Gaia takes us on a deep dive into why fragrance is often the first (and most dangerous) thing to eliminate from your wellness routine, and how Young Living is flipping the script with a 100% natural, sophisticated alternative that's setting a new standard in the industry.
From the formulation process to sourcing non-denatured organic alcohol (yes, Gaia almost needed to build a distillery), to working with a 150-year-old fragrance house in France—this is not your average essential oil blend.
We also unpack why this new fragrance line isn't just a win for your health and vanity, but a massive opportunity for business growth—especially with the new affiliate model that's reaching the next generation of wellness-conscious consumers.
What You'll Learn:
Why conventional fragrance is so toxic (and hard to avoid)
How Young Living's new clean perfume line came to life—against all odds
What makes these scents so different from your typical essential oil blends
Why the alcohol base is a game-changer (and why that required a liquor license search at 2 a.m.)
How this new product is opening doors to a wider market through storytelling, not science
Why this is a powerful entry point for customers and new brand partners
How the affiliate program helps introduce Young Living to a new generation
