Running a handmade business while juggling life isnāt always easy- but itās always worth it. I wanted to share a few personal truths behind the scenes of Natures Karessānot just to tell my story, but to remind you that whatever you're dreaming of⦠Itās possible.Ā
šæ 1. Energy matters to me- deeply.
I donāt touch or make products when my energy is off, Iām feeling low, or Iām not in alignment. I believe in energy transference, and Iām intentional about what goes into every bar, bottle, and blend. If itās not made with love, prayer, and clear energy- itās not made at all.
š§¼ 2. I started making soap back in 2016.
It started as a personal solution- mainstream soaps werenāt working for me or my family anymore. What I thought would be a few DIY recipes turned into a full-blown passion and purpose.
š 3. Natures Karess began as a spiritual blog.
Yes, really. I built a full site to share my spiritual journey- right before my launch date, I realized some things are meant to be sacred and held close. I rebranded, shifted focus, and created a space where I could honor my journeyĀ without having to explain it all. That decision led me straight to what you see today.
š„ 4. I had no idea how to start a business- I justĀ started.
No roadmap. No funding. No formal training. Just faith, Google, YouTube, and determination. I took messy, imperfect action and learned as I went. And Iām still learning every single day. If you're waiting to "have it all together" before starting something, let me be your sign to just begin.
š 5. Iām a single mom to a beautiful daughter with autism.
I work full-time from home, Iām her primary caregiver, and I still show up for my business. Some days are harder than others, but my āwhyā is powerful. I built Natures Karess around my life- not the other way aroundāand that flexibility and freedom fuel me.
If nothing else, I hope this reminds you that thereās no such thing as the āperfectā path. Your journey is yours. Youāre allowed to evolve, pivot, protect your peace, and still show up for your purpose.
Thank you for being here. I see you, and Iām walking this journey with you. šø
With love + Karess,
Karess Roman
Founder, Formulator, Soul behind Natures Karess
