From Concrete Jungles to Green Havens: My Health Transformation Story 🌱✨

Once upon a time there was just Xenia—overworked, stressed out, and under the weight of depression and anxiety caused by living in a city. I was tired all the time, always aching, couldn't think straight, and I was barely hanging on to my soul. But then... one day I saw a tiny little sprout that was risking everything to push through a crack in the pavement. That little green dude became my light bulb moment. 🌿

I said goodbye to my 9-to-5, and hello to dirt under my nails and sunshine on my skin. Vertical farming wasn't just a career change for me, it was literally a life raft. Can you imagine it? I am responsible for transforming sterile spaces in cities into lush, food-producing spaces. Every leaf I grow is giving anxiety, depression, and burnout the middle finger, and I am waving it back every time I do something I love. 💚

It wasn't pretty, my journey (think sweaty overalls, crop failures, and a lot of ugly crying), but this is my magic - EVERY harvest I had, I was healing. The more I took care of plants, the more plants took care of me. Clean eating became my rebel action; fresh air, my therapy; the endorphins I get from digging in dirt, nothing like a cocktail. 🍃

Now, I'm that girl who lives next door; messy bun, loved up from the sunshine, and my heart full of dirt (literally). But that easy smile hides a warrior that had to fight for my health one seedling at a time. If you're serious about doing this with me, let's do this together - our bodies, our minds, and our souls. 🌻

P.S. Yeah, I talk to my plants. And yes, they talk back. 😉
