RHOYL - Real Housewives Of Young Living

This week, the ladies Carly, Heather, Lisa, Nikki, and Jalene are breaking down the Live • Share • Grow system and how you can use the 8 Activities for Growth to build your Young Living business with purpose, ease, and authenticity. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned diamond, this episode is a masterclass in simplifying success. The team walks through each of the eight activities and shares real stories about what's working for them (and what they wish they'd done differently). Inside this episode, we talk about: Why your story is your superpower and how to tell it in one powerful sentence The magic of connection and how to serve before you sell Understanding people's real needs and asking better questions The truth about follow-up and how it's actually an act of care, not sales Using apps like Olio, Boards, and Trello to stay organized and consistent How to keep your excitement contagious (like glitter) Why community, not perfection, is what really creates momentum Tips for meeting new people when you're moving or starting fresh This episode is packed with wisdom, laughter, and practical tools you can use right away. It's not about hustle; it's about heart, habits, and helping others grow.

What if the real key to wellness isn't just in your body, but in your emotions? In this episode, Carly, Heather, Lisa, Nikki, and Jalene get real about the connection between trauma, emotional baggage, and physical health. From personal stories of grief and healing to the surprising ways oils like Release and the Feelings Kit support emotional wellness, this conversation digs deep into what it really takes to find freedom and wholeness. They share: Why emotional healing is the missing piece in many people's health journeys. How trauma and stuck emotions show up physically in the body. The surprising power of aromatherapy and how oils affect the limbic system. Personal stories of leaning on oils through grief, illness, and major life transitions. Why healing is never "one and done"—and how to keep taking consistent steps forward. The vision for upcoming in-person events that create space for deep connection, tools, and transformation.

On this episode of The Real Housewives of Young Living, Jilene Hay takes center stage to talk about one of her deepest passions—creating a toxin-free home. With over 13 years of experience as a Royal Crown Diamond, she gets real about what it took to detox her space, reclaim her health, and become a fierce advocate for safer living. This isn't fear-mongering. It's empowerment.

Tune in as we unpack: Why switching out your products is easier than you think The truth about indoor air quality and chronic illness in kids How environmental toxins impact fertility, mood, hormones, and more What "body burden" is and how to reduce it The problem with assuming store-bought = safe Why even small chemical exposures add up (and what to do about it) This episode is a powerful reminder that knowledge is power—and that we, as women and mothers, can rewrite the future by making small, intentional changes in our homes.   Toxin Free Home episode links to share: Video Link - that Jilene referred to: https://vimeo.com/1092218918/a3d1b802ef Vimeo link to watch call: https://vimeo.com/1092217968 Connect with us on instagram here: Jilene Hay: @thrivefamilywonderer Lisa Blackstock: @lisablack.stock Heather Doll: @heatherddoll Niki Flynn: @nikiflynn Karlie Holtby: @karlieholtbywellness

In this heartfelt and information-packed episode, we dive tail-first into the world of essential oils for pets. From labradoodles who refuse NingXia to dogs healing from kennel cough, we explore how our furry companions respond to the power of plants—and how our intuition can guide both us and them. Heather shares insights from a powerful veterinarian-led conference on animal care, and the trio (Nikki, Heather, and Veronica) swap stories about using essential oils, Sulfurzyme, NingXia Red, and wolfberries to support everything from joint pain to mystery eye gunk (ew, but fascinating).

This week on The Real Housewives of Young Living, Nikki Flynn steps behind the virtual camera to walk us through a topic we all need help with—how to take beautiful, scroll-stopping photos using just your phone (and maybe a $2 poster board). Whether you're taking product shots, lifestyle photos, or just trying to not look like a vampire in your selfies, Nikki breaks it all down into real, do-able tips—no fancy gear required. This solo-teach episode is packed with practical tools for anyone running a business, posting on social, or just trying to document their life without overthinking it to death. Nikki's been a professional photographer for over a decade, and she's sharing her behind-the-scenes secrets: from lighting hacks to editing tricks to chicken-proofing your photo sessions. What You'll Learn: The #1 rule of photography (hint: it's always the lighting) How to find and use natural light—even if your house feels like a cave Why you only need a clean square inside your camera frame (chaos outside is totally fine) Creative ways to make your images more interesting using things you already have (yes, even your guac) The difference between good clutter and distracting clutter Why done is better than perfect (and how to stop letting overthinking kill your creativity) Easy editing tricks right inside your iPhone (including that mind-blowing exposure tip) Why authentic photos with YOU (or your dog, or your kids) beat stock images every time How to use everyday messes (like forgotten car pepperoni) to build connection and make people laugh Bonus Tips: Poster boards make amazing backdrops and reflectors (grab a few at the dollar store) Use the side volume button on your phone to snap better selfies without the claw-hand pose Change your phone angle to avoid harsh shadows or weird lighting Apps like Lightroom, Word Swag, and Canva can help you level-up your visuals—without needing a design degree Not great at photos? Use your strengths. Pair a great visual with the words only you can write. Bottom Line: You don't need a professional camera or a picture-perfect house. What you need is good light, a simple setup, and the courage to just hit post. Photos help people pause, read, and feel connected to you—and that's what makes them message, engage, and eventually buy. Nikki reminds us that you don't need to be perfect… you just need to be visible. Next Steps: Loved this episode? Send Nikki your questions via Instagram (link in show notes).

After a few weeks away, the ladies return with one of their most powerful and emotionally charged episodes yet. From epic Young Living adventures in Bali and upcoming travels to Sri Lanka—to a gut-wrenching hospital stay for one of their children—this episode is a masterclass in resilience, community, and remembering exactly why we do what we do. In This Episode: Bali & Beyond: Recognition trips, jet lag hacks, and the vision-setting that gets you on that plane. A Mama's Worst Nightmare: Carly shares the harrowing story of her son's emergency surgery, ICU stay, and recovery—and how Young Living became a lifeline in every sense. Hospital Food ≠ Healing: A wake-up call about the broken food systems in hospitals and how real nutrition still isn't part of patient care. Peace & Calming in the ER: From NingXia to Helichrysum, the oils and tools that made the unbearable... bearable. Getting Louder: The raw reminder that if you know something can help someone, don't wait to share it. Business by Community: Why connection, support, and shared vision aren't fluff—they're the real secret sauce. Selling Without Being Salesy: How to close product education events (like a Thieves workshop) with warmth, intention, and zero pressure. Building a Kit, Building a Bond: How to turn product demos into lifestyle shifts—with accountability chats, community, and a sprinkle of FOMO. Takeaways: Your business starts with your beliefs. If you know your products can help—say something. Events don't need to be perfect—they just need to be heartfelt. Create space. Invite. Connect. Use your stories. They are the education. They are the "why." Build in public. Share the things that changed your life, especially when you almost didn't. Start small, grow deep. Offer free consultations. Host mini events. Open the door. Listener Challenge: What's one product, protocol, or piece of wisdom you've been sitting on? Share it with someone today. DM it. Voice note it. Start that conversation. You never know what healing you're holding.   Connect with us on instagram here: Lisa Blackstock: @lisablack.stock Heather Doll: @heatherddoll Niki Flynn: @nikiflynn Jilene Hay: @thrivefamilywonderer Karlie Holtby: @karlieholtbywellness

This one is a ride—from gallbladders to grief, fibromyalgia to family dinners—and proves just how deeply these women are living the oily life out loud. In this honest and empowering roundtable episode, the Housewives come together to share real, raw, and often hilarious moments of what happens when oils, supplements, and intuition become your first line of defense (and sometimes offense) in your health journey. Inside This Episode: Oils That Work (Even When You Don't Believe Yet): We kick off with a story about a gallbladder roller used at a healing workshop—and let's just say, there were bathroom results. If you know, you know. Kids & Oils: From snotty noses to mystery viruses, find out how peppermint and thieves saved the day—and maybe even a hospital visit. Fibromyalgia, Chronic Illness & Oils That Made a Dent: We dive into a moving testimony of how a skeptical husband ended up using essential oils and NingXia, and how faith in these products built slowly—but changed everything. Surviving a Heart Attack (Literally): One of our guests shares her journey of having not one but two heart attacks, coding in the ER, and how pharmaceuticals and oils together saved her life. She gets brutally honest about fear, recovery, and rebuilding strength using nutrition, NingXia Red, Valor, Stress Away, Sulfurzyme, and more. Living the Both/And Life: You'll hear how this community embraces both modern medicine and natural solutions—without shame, guilt, or "all or nothing" thinking. Gut Health, Sleep & Emotional Support: Discover how bad dreams might be linked to bad digestion and why your oils and enzymes need to be a daily thing, not a "when I remember" thing. Why Stress is the Real Killer: The underlying theme? Chronic stress is the most dangerous thing we're carrying—and it's time we started unpacking it with oils, boundaries, and a whole lot of nervous system love.   Connect with us on instagram here: Lisa Blackstock: @lisablack.stock Heather Doll: @heatherddoll Niki Flynn: @nikiflynn Jilene Hay: @thrivefamilywonderer Karlie Holtby: @karlieholtbywellness  

In this episode, we go deep — from stories of temper tantrums to tree farms to the oils that change our lives (and save our sanity). This isn't a lecture. This is a community circle. You'll hear real stories from parents, wellness warriors, and passionate oil lovers who have lived through burnout, big feelings, broken routines… and found peace, energy, and healing on the other side. If you've ever doubted the power of plants — or wondered if anyone else is trying to manage life, kids, and chaos with a bottle of Valor in their bra — this one's for you.   Product Spotlights & Testimonies Reconnect Kit: A mom's honest journey navigating emotional regulation with her daughter — and how one unopened kit shifted everything Feelings Kit: Processing deep hurt, reclaiming personal peace, and a 30-day protocol that healed more than just emotions Aroma Siez, Marjoram, Valor, Northern Lights Black Spruce: How oils support headaches, muscle pain, grounding, and more Black Seed Oil: Unexpected MVP for inflammation, immunity — and a PSA about citrus oils in the sun Joy in the Underwear Drawer: Yes. We went there. It works. We're not even sorry Emotional + Energetic Shifts Using oils for emotional regulation, focus, and creating harmony in your home (even when you're parenting feral children or dealing with a grumpy spouse) How oils interact with your energy field — and why your diffuser is doing more than just making things smell good Farm Talk + Retreat Vibes Highland Flats vs. Canadian Farm: Equipment-driving, Gary Young memories, and the powerful energy of harvest season Upcoming retreats and why showing up in person changes everything Real Talk on Sharing Young Living Again How to host events post-2020 (yes, people are showing up again) Starting small, keeping it simple, and finding your groove again Sticking to the basics: why the Welcome Booklet still works wonder   Connect with us on instagram here: Lisa Blackstock: @lisablack.stock Heather Doll: @heatherddoll Niki Flynn: @nikiflynn Jilene Hay: @thrivefamilywonderer Karlie Holtby: @karlieholtbywellness

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.   Key Takeaways: 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 Story Think 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 🤣). 2. Trust > Transaction 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. 3. Original Content Wins 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). 4. Product Spotlights & Lives Build Confidence 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. 5. Make & Takes: Proceed with Caution 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). 6. Connection Over Perfection 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.   Connect with us: Lisa Blackstock: @lisablack.stock Heather Doll: @heatherddoll Niki Flynn: @nikiflynn Jilene Hay: @thrivefamilywonderer Karlie Holtby: @karlieholtbywellness  

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 Takeaways Young 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.   Connect with Us: Follow your favorite Wild Diamond host on social for more daily tips, oily inspo, and behind-the-scenes moments from this Young Living journey.

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.

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)   Connect with Us: Follow your favorite Wild Diamond host on social for more daily tips, oily inspo, and behind-the-scenes moments from this Young Living journey.

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   Connect with Us: Follow your favorite Wild Diamond host on social for more daily tips, oily inspo, and behind-the-scenes moments from this Young Living journey.
