My dad always told me your coffee and cognac don’t mix, which mean business and pleasure don’t mix
I learned this the hard way, I’m a mail carrier and when i started I thought we were all friends with each other but the people who I thought were good people weren’t. They gossip and are bored with their own sad lives they want to project their jealousy and gossip for no reason. These people are in their 40’e 50’s, I’m 34 lol it’s worse than high school so I’m just like how am I more mature about keeping things secret and respecting someone than them. It’s nuts, the post office should be a reality show because there’s drama everywhere 😂🤦🏽♀️
I would absolutely love a series called “The Post Office” 😂
I love the feeling knowing no one can creep me on Facebook. It gives me such great satisfaction.
Same! 😊 it's amazing
“Your vibe attracts your tribe”, love that!
Needed this reminder, thank you
Learned it the hard way. I can count my trusted friends on half a hand too! And I like it that way. At work I will joke with people but keep a very good distance.
Well said!
I am very private and don't discuss my life or post anything on social media. I frequently have co-workers call me secretive. Turning it into a negative, a dig. This was reassuring listening to a reasonable person who understands.
Really appreciate you sharing your life lessons in such a clear fashion. A very good reminder as to why I limit my sharing at work.
A subject not enough people broach. Workplace relationships to friends outside work, to neighbours, to even family, managing and protecting your privacy is key to peace. Life is challenging enough, it’s nice not to have the opinions and sabotaging behaviours from others who don’t have our best interest at heart. Less is more.
This video is so inspirational I've watched it many times when I feel I'm losing my way. Your words resonate so much with me and I just wanted to thank you for that, I think your a fantastic person 😊
Yes, i agree that work and private life should be separate . I worked in a place where people got to know each others lives. But once the job ended, i noticed work friends became toxic, and im no longer in contact with. Im not on social media at all. I like keeping my life private and sharing info only to whom i choose. Certain people have nothing going on in their lives, so they go in other people's business.
100%!!
I'm glad an influencer brought this out in the open. I love your channel and your creativity is inspiring & being honest about topics that educate followers t to live a simple happy life that sparks joy.
I agree hundred percent!nobody can force to share my personal information with them if I don’t want to!
I agree. I feel like most often the first question people ask me about is my love life🥴 I post travel, lifestyle, good eats, etc and am never asked about those things. I often wonder why a woman's love life is the only thing people are so concerened about.
Everything you're saying is so valid and relevant to every single workplace.
I agree, no matter what workplace it is I’m sure there are the same issues. Even applies to school/university.
Thank you! I loved this topic! Unfortunately I’m a talker at work. I need some mental stimulation either music or a podcast; if I don’t have that sometimes I share more than I’d like. Although I’ve still kept the very personal things personal.
This is such an important lesson and discussion, hope there are more topics like this. I have been far too naive, kind, and trusting believing people cared and valued such things with a similar perspective when in reality that is most often not the case and you need to be friendly but hold people likely at arms length until proven and know the time and place.
Sincerity and genuineness is such a rarity so if found, carefully cultivate and cherish it. Otherwise, "don't cast your pearls before swine"
I can definitely relate to the friends who only changed when life started to get better and talked behind my back. Definitely have a much smaller circle now.
I was one to keep work and private life very separate but upon retrospective reflection, I realized that people at work thought I didn't like them. The trick is to make people think you like them but share private info very strategically and consciously, because when they think you don't like them, that's when they band against you. I didn't understand how to play the game, which it totally is.
Hi Ilythia, hope you're well!! You have such a soothing and calming voice, thank you for sharing, your videos make my day!! I love minimalism and have been incorporating it more in my life!!
I used to be a person that would post quotes about positivity, etc., but after sometime, social media would leave my mentally drained!! I've been detoxing more often and trying to get back to my hobbies such as; knitting, and I tend to my small indoor garden and hopefully, will learn watercolor painting!! Hobbies help me be more at peace and alot less dependent on technology and social media!! Have a blessed day Ilythia!!❤🥰🙏
I so agree. Do you have a go to answer when coworkers ask a question you don't want to answer?
It s not only at the health care,gossip happens wherever you work even if the coworkers are just 2or 3 people
Great post. Wish I had heard this when I worked. I was so naieve. Wise.
This is the #1 reason as I get older I’m more guarded. When I was younger I was so open which more times than not tended to bring drama into the mix.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here💐
I’ve learned this the hard way so many times!
Totally resonates with me, good on you for holding your boundaries.
Best to keep things private. Learned the hard way 🙈🙈🌸
This is exactly how I feel and never have been able to put it into words like you have!!!!!thank you for this !!!!
Ilythia, I would love a video on weight training. I've never tried it but you inspire me to start! could you give us a basic breakdown for beginners or a day in the gym video?
For sure!! I’ve been meaning to do this ❤
@@thesimplechiclife you are so awesome!!! I wouldn't be mad if you let us know your favorite gym perfumes too
Thank you for talking about this. I've worked in the Healthcare field for over 3 years, and I am baffled at how much gossip and toxicity saturates it. I had previous retail experience before Healthcare & for some reason I had this idea that Healthcare required more professionalism than what I'd experienced before. While I love it, it's almost as if there is less professionalism than other places I've worked! Very interesting topic & something I particularly needed to remember today. Thank you 💖
Makes sense, it's safer to remain anonymous when possible!
Thanks for your thoughts ❤
I agree, it should be separate. but people are so nosy..
I'm a more reserved person & don't do any socials so I've even had people speculate/make up rumors about me in the work place and my own "family" members have also done this to me. people I've been kind to. it's such low behavior and I cannot believe people are comfortable with doing that to someone.
I really needed to listen this video today,thank you❤
It makes me so sad - I don’t care what people know about me but I hate when they don’t maintain relationships.
People can be so shady. I keep to myself now. I got burned too many times! It feels good to be private but its not easy
U speak 100% the truth!
It's sad, isn't it? I wish it was more common for people to be happy for each other.
Great video! so thought provoking! Love all your videos but, those about life, those, are my absolute favorites!👏👏
Really needed to hear this.
❤❤
I need to shut up at work.. 🤐 also in healthcare…
Thank you for sharing very good food for thought
Gosh, it was such an amazing video, loved every bit❤
Thank you so much!!
Medidas extremas to protect us. I completely understand. Sadly, is necessary. Thank you😘
Hi Ilithia, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic, I totally agree with your position, and it is good to hear I'm not the only one :).
One hundred percent agree w this
Great solid advice
And in that order! 🙌🏾
I immediately clicked when I saw the title. This is a sticky topic that can be awkward to talk about.

Good advice.
We are very similar like each other.
