CROATIA: DISTILLING IN 19 DAYS FOUNDER’S MESSAGE THE WAVE OF momentum Young Living is riding right now is bigger than anything we have ever experienced. What we’re doing in the network-marketing industry—and in the essential oils industry—is unheard of. For a company in its 21st year, we are growing in ways once believed to be impossible. The thing is, I don’t believe in the word impossible! Thank you, every single Young Living member, for lighting the fire within the company, within your own life, and in the lives of people around the world. Our opportunity is real, our products are world class, and we are changing lives together, wherever we go.
"Our opportunity is real, our products are world class, and we are changing lives together, wherever we go." Lighting the fire takes courage. It requires action and sometimes a little discomfort. That’s okay, because we can’t change lives in Comfortville. But the reward is worth it, knowing you helped someone be better! Life is a lot better when it’s lived with passion, isn’t it? Our relationships are more rewarding.

First introduced to direct selling in 1985, Mary relied on her entrepreneurial spirit and her tireless enthusiasm for helping others and within two years built a successful, multi-million dollar organisation. IF YOU'VE BEEN around Young Living the last several years, you may have noticed that something remarkable is happening. Our unprecedented growth for a 21-year-old company in the network-marketing industry is something of lore and envy. Our world-class products are at the forefront of quality and innovation. Thanks to you, our mission is transforming lives all across the world. But even with all the transformations and rapid growth, there have been two constants: founders D. Gary and Mary Young.
“The experience of owning a successful direct-selling business before launching Young Living with Gary,” says Mary, “has led to a ‘member-first’ mindset for Young Living that continues to shape our culture. My love of the Young Living lifestyle has played a vital role in bringing the mission and benefits of Young Living to the world.” With Mary now at the helm, Young Living has become the largest female owned and operated company in Utah.

LIVING BY DESIGN: AN INTERVIEW WITH CROWN DIAMOND MELISSA POEPPING
Melissa Poepping is a Young Living Crown Diamond who lives on a busy little hobby farm in central Minnesota with her husband and three children. They have been using essential oils since 1998 and began using oils in their everyday lives in 2005 after welcoming their first child to the family. Essential oils have found their way into every aspect of their daily lives and into every corner of their home. Melissa recently hosted her annual Spirit of Wellness Event in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where more than 600 members were in attendance and raised $31,000 for the D. Gary Young Foundation, now renamed the Young Living Foundation. After witnessing the enormous impact Melissa has on those around her, we wanted to spend a few minutes with her to learn more about her journey with Young Living. HOW DID ESSENTIAL OILS MAKE AN I M PAC T O N YOU A N D YOU R C A R E E R ? I was working 70–75 hours a week as a mortgage broker for 10 years in an intense, high-stress environment. I took the work and the stress home with me every day, and it started taking a toll on me physically and emotionally. A friend introduced me to essential oils, and I began to implement them into my daily life. After the birth of my first child in 2005, I realised I

In the summer of 2010, I took a leap of faith children’s lives. This is an opportunity I never would have had and decided to give Young Living 100 percent of my time in my prior career, and I am grateful every day to be there and eliminated everything else. I had to step out in faith and for my family. I can also empower others to do the same for face my fears.
