Sustainability Isn’t What I Thought: 30 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

When I first started living more sustainably, I thought it meant buying glass jars and shopping at the farmers market. But there’s so much more to conscious living than eco swaps and aesthetics. In this video, I’m sharing 30 things I wish I knew before starting my sustainable lifestyle—from mindset shifts and mistakes to the practical habits that actually make a difference.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by zero waste, eco trends, or sustainability “rules,” this video is for you. These are the real-life lessons that would’ve saved me time, money, guilt, and burnout. From reducing food waste and DIY cleaning recipes to avoiding greenwashing and embracing secondhand, these tips are honest, realistic, and beginner-friendly. I’ll share how to start slow, use what you have, and shift your mindset toward a more intentional, low-waste lifestyle.

Whether you’re just beginning your sustainability journey or need a fresh perspective, I hope this helps you feel inspired and supported.
