Why wellness feels like IKEA instructions

Frankly, if I can be honest here, in my own newsletter…

I did not move to Europe for this.

But there I was, standing in my bathroom in Tirana, wrestling with a shower curtain rod like it was an Olympic sport. The directions made no sense, the screws didn’t line up, and at one point I had the whole thing balanced on my head while Danny tried to “eyeball it.”

(If marriage counseling isn’t in our future, it’s only because we survived the Great Curtain Installation of 2025.)

Here’s what hit me, : so much of wellness feels exactly like that. You’ve got all the pieces—supplements, meal prep containers, YouTube workouts—but the instructions are either confusing, overwhelming, or written in another language altogether.

And honestly? That’s why most of us quit before we even start.

But here’s the twist: once that curtain was finally up, everything got easier. No more floods, no more towels sacrificed to mop duty. Just a simple rhythm that worked.

That’s what wellness can be, too. Messy at first, maybe even frustrating—but once you’ve got the right system in place, it becomes effortless.

✨ No drama.
✨ No overwhelm.
✨ No 10-step manual you need a translator for.

Just flow.

So if you’re staring at your own “shower curtain” right now—wondering how to make sense of the pieces—this is your sign: don’t give up. The rhythm you’re craving might be one messy installation away.

With love (and a dry bathroom),

Genta 💛
