Meet Asia Barnes | Medical Herbalist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Asia Barnes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Asia, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Work-life balance is crucial for several reasons. Because when I first started my business, I had a full-time job and was on call seven days a week, and with time off, I would work to grow my business. This. In my life was very stressful.

First and foremost, it helps maintain good mental and physical health. By balancing work and personal life, I reduced stress and prevent burnout, leading to improved overall well-being.

Secondly, work-life balance allows me to spend quality time with family and friends, fostering strong relationships and creating a support system outside of work. This balance enhances my personal happiness and satisfaction, promoting a sense of fulfillment and a positive outlook on life.

Furthermore, work-life balance enables me to pursue personal interests, hobbies, and self-care activities. This allows for personal growth, learning, and relaxation, which in turn can boost creativity, productivity, and overall job satisfaction.

Lastly, a healthy work-life balance promotes efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace. When I have time to recharge and take care of my personal needs, i can bring my best self to work, leading to increased productivity, better decision-making, and higher job performance.

In summary, work-life balance is important to me to maintain good health, nurturing relationships, pursuing personal interests, and achieving professional success. It is a key ingredient for leading a fulfilling and well-rounded life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
None of it was easy, but no when I started making herbal products and content for my herbal products, it really made me feel like I was right at home. Learning new ways to market to my target. Audience has been very rewarding and fun. A lot of the challenges were the people unfortunately that I had around me did not believe in me or what I was doing. But what I’ve learned along the way is that, trusting my first mine, my gut, is extremely important for success. It can be a huge challenge when you feel like the people in your personal life don’t support you or even tell you congratulations but believing in yourself and just going with what you know is the right path for you is the best decision I’ve made in my life.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m originally from Cleveland and now I live in Columbus Ohio which I absolutely love the places I would take my best friend is definitely over to Easton. My favorite restaurant there is. Kunos which is a sushi restaurant. I would then take them downtown to go see a couple of art shows and there’s just so much to do here in Columbus that I have not gotten to do but that would be a really fun thing to do which is just explore the city and have someone to do that with.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shout out all of my followers on Instagram TikTok even YouTube the customers that have supported me since day one without them and their support sharing my constant giving my products a try to me was the biggest yes OK I’m on the right path. they’re encouraging words to me telling me how great of a job I’m doing, etc. really means a lot to me and I don’t get to tell them enough how much I appreciate each and everyone of them individually for taking a chance on me my business, and just supporting me for all these years
