We had the pleasure of hearing from Mary Young, the co-founder and inspirational leader of Young Living. Mary is a remarkable individual, radiating both inner and outer beauty. The conference delved into the deep-rooted history and modest origins of Young Living, highlighting the incredible, meticulously researched accomplishments that Gary Young brought to fruition.
Young Living is actively positioning themselves for a shift towards promoting healthier habits and lifestyles, aiming to make essential oils available to every home. Gary's children, Josef and Jacob, were both in attendance and shared their thoughts. They have great respect for their father's work and passion and seem eager to further their professional experience to continue their father's legacy using their existing and developing skills.
I really enjoyed the unveiling of new products at the convention. Those who attended in person got to experience these new products and more at the Expo. I must admit, I was a bit jealous that I wasn't there for any of this. True to their roots, they put a lot of time, energy, research, and development into the new products. I will share more about these after I've had the chance to try some of them!
The YL30 convention shed light on the critical importance of sleep for our overall well-being. Despite the myriad demands on our time, prioritizing adequate rest can be quite challenging. Our bodies, particularly our brains, rely on sleep to rest, rejuvenate, and detoxify effectively. It's a truly remarkable biological necessity, yet modern culture, including many societies globally, has shifted away from healthy sleep behaviors. To compound matters, essential minerals vital for supporting these habits are lacking in our soil and food. Young Living introduced a range of products at the convention, emphasizing the use of high-quality, thoroughly researched ingredients. After absorbing insights from the speakers, I'm feeling inspired to take a closer look at my own sleep routines. What's the point of spending extra time cleaning the house if I'm neglecting to provide my body with the necessary rejuvenation? I'm looking forward to delving more into this topic in the future with our team!
Overall, there was more than enough content, sessions, and education in the virtual attendee option for the amount paid to attend. I would recommend that others consider attending in future years. Next year's event will take place in Utah from July 16-19. Virtual and in-person tickets are available now. Another nice perk is that I have access to the convention videos for a while, so I don’t have to take in all the information at once.
Always learning with you,
