On January 7th
Hannah Alonzo
published a YouTube video featuring a purportedly leaked “internal corporate email”.
The email announces Young Living’s plans to ditch its MLM business model sometime in Q2 2026. In the email Young Living’s MLM business is referred to as the “Marketing Partner Program”.
Before I had a chance to get around to viewing Alonzo’s video in full, roughly twelve hours ago the video was marked private. On Instagram Alonzo claims she received a cease and desist from Young Living and is seeking legal advice.
In the since privated video itself, Alonzo states;
[4:36] If this video gets taken down at any point, it likely was not my choice and it’s probably because Young Living sued me.
Roughly three hours after Alonzo privated her source video, Scott Tex Johnson published a reupload on his YouTube channel. I’ll reinstate a link to Alonzo’s original video should she make it public again.
In the meantime, let’s get into Young Living’s leaked email.

back in 2014.
Young Living launched in 1993 by Donald Gary Young. Young remained CEO until stepping down in 2015.
Young went on to pass away in 2018. Today Young Living is headed up by Young’s third wife, Mary Young (right).
Alonzo claims she was sent the leaked Young Living email from two different sources on December 15th.
The original email was purportedly sent to Young Living employees and marked confidential, before somehow making its way out of the company (click to enlarge below).
We are writing to inform you of an important update regarding Young Living’s Marketing Partner Program.
After careful consideration and strategic planning, the company has made the decision to officially conclude the Marketing Partner Program in Q2 of 2026.
The decision aligns with our ongoing efforts to streamline operations and focus on initiatives that best support the company’s long-term growth and mission.
While this change will mark the end of the Marketing Partner Program, our commitment to delivering exceptional products and experiences to our customers remains steadfast.
Further details regarding the transition plan, timelines, and internal resources will be shared with you in the coming months.
We ask that all employees treat this information as confidential, as it is intended for internal communication only until a public announcement is made.
At time of publication, Young Living promoters have not been officially informed of the internal decision.
Young Living planning to terminate its MLM opportunity follows
an affiliate model launch through Wyld Notes
last year. What Young Living will look like as a company following Q2 2025 is uncertain.
Given recent high-profile MLM busts over the past year, it’s assumed Young Living will transition to an affiliate only model (single-level commissions, not MLM). This however remains unconfirmed.
