DIY Health vs. First-Class Healing: Why Strategy Beats Scrambling

Because your dream life deserves more than vending machine trail mix and TikTok shortcuts.

What do these things all have in common?

An overpacked suitcase

A greasy scalp that now qualifies as its own biome

Zero hours of sleep

A weird cough from recirculated air x1000

A tote bag full of 47 loose receipts and one half-melted granola bar

A mystery stain on your shirt you’ve emotionally accepted

Outfit repeating in the name of a “capsule wardrobe”

Not eating a single vegetable in 4 days

You guessed it: TRAVEL.

Now, imagine this:

Scenario 1: The DIY Route

You’re going from Atlanta to LA to interview for your dream job — the one that could actually change your life. You're excited, but also trying to be practical, so you take the cheapest option: a cross-country bus ride. You mapped it all out, even found a “shortcut” on TikTok that lets you transfer in Denver, where your college friend lives.

You're optimistic. Determined. This is going to be worth it.

But then:
A man with very noticeable body odor sits next to you for a 10-hour stretch.
You’re nauseous.
The bus keeps hitting bumps.
You're trying to read your interview prep notes but your highlighter has melted in your bag.
You haven’t slept in 36 hours and are running on beef jerky and vending machine trail mix.

Finally, you make it to Denver. You grab lunch, head to your transfer stop... and realize the TikTok bus route you counted on was discontinued six months ago. You missed the memo. There’s no backup plan.

You spend six hours in a random bus terminal trying to find a new way forward. And slowly, you start to spiral:

“Is this even worth it? What if I don’t get the job? My current job isn’t that bad. Maybe this dream was unrealistic anyway.”

You end up taking the fastest bus back to Atlanta. Back to what you know.
The interview never happens.

Scenario 2: The First-Class Flight

Same dream job. Same you. But this time, you decide to go all in.

You book a first-class ticket.
You tell yourself, the version of me who gets this job would totally fly first class.

You arrive at the airport early. You’re invited into the Delta Sky Club. You sip tea, breathe deeply, go over your notes. Onboard, the flight attendant smiles as she hands you a cold towel and says, “You’ve got this.”

You spend the flight relaxed, reviewing your prep, headphones in, legs stretched out.
You land early, rested, confident. You slept. You ate. You hydrated. You remember who you are.

You walk into the interview grounded and clear — and you crush it.

You don’t just get the job. You look back and realize...

I became a different person on the way here.

The Point

When it comes to your health, your energy, your hormones — the same story applies.

You can try to DIY it. You can scroll through TikTok trends, stockpile Pinterest recipes, and hope that patching symptoms will get you to where you want to go. But when the bumps hit — the busy schedule, the burnout, the conflicting advice — you might turn back. You might convince yourself you’re fine where you are.

Or...

You can invest in the first-class version of your life.

Support.
Strategy.
Clarity.
Peace.
Fun.

Healing doesn’t have to feel like a chaotic bus ride.
It can feel like the most aligned journey you’ve ever taken.
