Common Difficulties and Practical Solutions:
Starting a natural wellness journey on your own can be overwhelming and intimidating. Without guidance from someone who is further along on their own journey, it can be difficult to know where to begin and how to stay on track. Here are some common difficulties faced by those starting out on their own journey and solutions to help overcome them. Don't stop reading before you get to my "Easy Button" for implementing these solutions effectively!
Difficulty #1: Lack of Knowledge
One of the biggest obstacles to beginning a natural wellness journey is simply not knowing where to start. With so many options and conflicting information available, it can be challenging to know which products are safe and effective.
Solution: Education
To overcome this difficulty, it is important to educate yourself on the basics of natural wellness. Start by reading up on the benefits of essential oils, supplements, and other natural products. Attend educational events and webinars hosted by trusted sources like Young Living. Don't be afraid to ask questions and take notes.
I know how overwhelming this step can be! That's why there's an easy button coming at the end. 🖲
Difficulty #2: Financial Constraints
Natural products can often come with a higher price tag than their synthetic counterparts. This can be a major barrier for those on a tight budget.
Solution: Prioritization
While it can be tempting to try everything at once, starting a natural wellness journey doesn't have to break the bank. Prioritize your purchases based on your specific needs and budget. Start with a few key products like essential oils, a diffuser, and a good quality supplement. Once you have a better understanding of what works for you, you can begin to expand your collection.
Did you know that you can also share your affiliate link with like-minded friends and family and earn some money to help pay for your own orders? That's what I do!
Difficulty #3: Lack of Support
Starting a natural wellness journey can be a lonely experience, especially if those around you are not interested in or supportive of a holistic lifestyle.
Solution: Find a Community
Fortunately, there is a large and growing community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about natural wellness. Join a local or online group to connect with others who are on a similar journey. Lean on them for support, advice, and encouragement. We've definitely got you covered on this one!
Difficulty #4: Busy Lifestyle
Maintaining a natural wellness lifestyle can be challenging, especially for those with busy schedules.
Solution: Integration
Begin integrating natural wellness practices into your daily routine gradually. Start with small changes like diffusing essential oils in the morning or incorporating a daily supplement. As you become more comfortable with these practices, you can begin to add more as your schedule allows. It CAN be done without feeling overwhelming to you!

✨ My blog exists because I know what it feels like to keep everything jumbled in your head — like a messy pile of clothes you can’t sort through.
Writing it all down brings clarity, calm, and sometimes even healing answers I didn’t know I was looking for.
Honestly, that’s why I keep showing up to write — it helps me make sense of things.
Even if you have no intentions of ever publishing your work, I highly recommend writing stuff down. It doesn't have to be a literary masterpiece or even full, grammatically correct sentences... just dump those random thoughts onto paper... you'll see what I mean.
*This blog centers the GenX experience, simply because that’s the lens I live through—but anyone looking for connection, natural wellness, grief support, or a little real-talk in this messy stage of life is more than welcome.
