Juan Arevalo and Franciela Madrid have worked together ever since they started dating, when they had their own consulting company and a different set of dreams than they do now. While suffering some health challenges, Franciela decided to dedicate her time to finding alternative solutions that could improve the quality of life for her and her family. She became certified as a naturopath and a health coach and has pursued other natural practices.
In July 2013, Franciela started to share these positive changes with her friends, and their interest was piqued. Once they started using Young Living products, sharing oils became just another excuse to get together as friends and bond over their love of Young Living.
Before she knew it, Franciela had ranked up to Silver and qualified to join Young Living for a trip to Hawaii. It was during that trip that she began to conceptualize her YL business. Once Juan realized that Young Living was not just another business corporation but a company with heart and soul, he joined her and Mariana, their daughter, to connect with friends throughout Mexico. Together, they teamed up to build the largest Young Living organization in Latin America.
What fuels this self-motivated team the most is helping as many other families as they can to achieve their dreams as well.

Artemis’s career began in science and zoology, but her fascination with the things science can’t explain led her to a career as a professional psychic and spiritual teacher.

As a former photographer and elementary teacher, Nicole Barczak feels that this business chose her, as essential oils and network marketing were not something she ever saw herself becoming involved in. “My friends kept talking about oils, though it took me a while to realize our family had a need for these products.

Nicole has worked to join the top ranks of Young Living leaders and enjoys every part of her leadership role, including learning about alternative wellness solutions, connecting with old and new friends, and helping others.
When she isn’t sharing her passion for Young Living and training her team, Nicole enjoys camping with her family, horseback riding, traveling, and the beach. Nicole and her husband, Ryan, live in Dexter, Michigan, with their four children. Their busy home also includes horses, dogs, and cats.

In 2009, Crystal and Verick Burchfield were gifted a bottle of Thieves® Household Cleaner by a friend. Not long after, they were diffusing Thieves essential oil in their home as well, but it wasn’t until 2011 that Crystal became a member and jumped into learning how to use the oils every day.
Although she had spent years saying no to the business side of Young Living, she found herself sharing her testimony of the products. Everything changed when she changed her no to a yes and opened her heart to the business. Less than two years later, Verick retired from his career to co-lead the organization and help homeschool their four kids. After seeing an underserved community, Verick created a men’s crossline group—Essentially Equipped Challenge—which hosts a biannual event to help individuals advance their businesses, faith, and lives.
In addition to the communities they serve, the Burchfields also participate in the global fight to end human trafficking, and they’ve partnered with the nonprofit Hope for Justice for several years.
Through it all, even adversity, Crystal and Verick have found a way to infuse faith, family, and purpose into everything they do. They are thankful to God, Young Living, and their organization for their incredible journey.

Jessica’s family has always been wellness-minded, so integrating with Young Living came naturally. “The introduction of Young Living made perfect sense,” she says. “When I realized it was a purpose-driven company, it was like a dream come true.” She now gets to experience the three pillars of the company daily: wellness, purpose, and abundance.

Jessica also loves to serve, inspire, and encourage others around her. “I have a God-given passion to educate and empower mothers to make informed decisions regarding the health of their children,” she explains.

Danette Goodyear joined Young Living 15 years ago with no intention of building a business. After discovering Young Living’s commitment to high-quality products, she set a goal to earn a commission check that would pay for her oils. She experienced the Young Living farm in France, where she spent time working the land and watching the Seed to Seal® story unfold with Gary Young, and she became dedicated to the company. Through consistent sharing and commitment, she established herself as a loyal YL leader.
Danette’s husband, Jim, left his role as vice president of sales for a tech company in 2014. Although he intended to go back to work with a startup company, Jim attended the Diamond Retreat later that summer in France and there declared “Diamond is the lifestyle for me!” Now they work together with their YL team, and Jim helps educate men on the wellness benefits of all Young Living products. Because of the healthy support products, time, and financial freedom YL has produced, Jim was able to train, start, and finish a 2,700-mile independent mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico!

Before Young Living, Joanna thought she had the perfect job, but through her work with the company, she “found more purpose.” Her passion for the products and business come from seeing people have “breakthroughs” in their health and “reach new levels of life—whether emotional, financial, or physical.”

Joanna feels like the business chose her, and she owned that from the very start. At the time, she had ended a relationship with a client and decided to put her all into Young Living. Her journey has been a unique one, which she sees as being one “big, personal development.” This has inspired her to dedicate her time to in-person experiences and personal-growth classes.

Stacy McDonald began using essential oils in 2001, while making her own bath and body products. However, it wasn’t until March 2010, after joining Young Living, that she began to experience the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils beyond their aromatic uses. As a blogger, she loved teaching other women about essential oils, and she wanted them to be equipped to take control of their own health and to be able to minister to their families naturally. She had no interest in a business.

The oils soon began to sell themselves. As others discovered how well they worked, word spread, and Stacy began to receive what they now refer to as "the accidental paycheck.” She liked the idea of these “referral” checks, but she still didn’t see the potential ahead. Eventually, Stacy’s husband, James, stopped joking about her “snake oils” and started asking her, “Do you have an oil for this?” He was hooked. Once he caught the vision, they began working together to grow a thriving organization that includes thousands of families experiencing health and freedom! It is their family’s goal to live their lives to the glory of God, enjoying Him every step of the way.

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.
