    “I could breathe” I could breathe” I know that feeling. Where you’re working and working and you keep telling yourself it’s the only thing you can do. You don’t even allow yourself to think that there’s an alternative. I’m sure if you had been told that oh you could leave this job and go be yourself you would think that person was mad. I envy you ladies. I can’t wait for this freedom

    • @fionakemi

      Oh sis, this freedom is yours too. When the time is right, you'll know. Trust that❤

    Asking yourself what you have done in the past 5 or 2 or even 1 year makes one feel so inadequate. My God. It’s so good to see us talking about this. I’ve seen it turn into 6 years yet I had told myself 3

      Whew. Sis. Time can really creep up on you. You blink an wonder where it all went. It's a reminder to us all to set goals and go through with them.

    I have been in this for six years but being a house wife n getting married Young
    Everything changed with age in 2019 that's when I got serious with my routines n creating my own work for money
    2020was life changing in lockdown n now am that crazy work holic at home still on my financial management journey
    But self employment is everything
    But money management n creating productive routines is key in this ship , balance chill time n work time as good as you can

    Waiting to breathe one day! The "savings part"is so important Fiona please do a video on this like you said.Thank you ladies for being honest with your transition.

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I pray you find that path where you can breathe easy 😌 and yes, I've already put that down as a conversation we should have

    This was such a refreshing video. I would love to hear Rebecca's podcast , she has a voice that's a joy to listen to. But going back to the topic, support surely does go a long way but even without it i have seen people build empires because they have true passion for what they are doing. Kudos to you ladies. Cheers to bigger things.

    • @bridgettejoanne5636

    First of all its no secret i love u both,your journeys in one way or another have an influence in my life.
    This was an amazing conversation,i dunno how many times i kept saying i can relate with that or this from what each of u had to say but this has reminded me to be grateful for the support system i have and created more silver linings that despite highs and lows(especially the lows) there is a point we get to stability if we push ourselves,learn from our mistakes and use our God given sprinkles of magic🧡

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Amen sis. God bless our support systems and may we always feel driven to pursue that magic

    Lol... not me watching this after being given an ultimatum by my supervisor to ditch my creative work and stop being "distracted" and focus on the 9 to 5pm. Proceeds to draft resignation because the 9 to 5 math is not mathing! Haha... glad I landed on this video instead of going down the whole of gaslighting myself.

  • @emusimenta
    @emusimenta 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Loved Loved the conversation!!!!! I agree, money / savings / financial planning (or awareness) could arguably be the most important advise to put into consideration before transitioning to self employment.

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Without a doubt. These waters are murky so having money saved up is such an important thing

  • @saturdaymuhammad3932

  • @livinwithsharon
    @livinwithsharon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great conversation ladies enjoyed this one. Quitting to pursue self employment is certainly scary. I went from getting salary to paying salary to my employees and getting nothing for myself. There is a trauma there that needs a conversation of it's own.(lol) but we shall overcome. The freedom though is certainly worth it. I could never turn back no matter how much i have been tempted to.

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have touched an important point there. That's a discussion we should definitely have. I have no doubt many business owners can relate to that

  • @NabaasaY
    @NabaasaY 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this! and sharing. The kind of encouragement we all need. I see a bright future for both of you. 10 years from now I see some great women of influence!! God bless your journeys ❤

    • @fionakemi

  • @princessklv247
    @princessklv247 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very insightful and authentic conversation! Thanks for sharing.
    Time really does pass by quickly and having nothing to show for it is frustrating.
    I concur with you, financial planning is pivotal for transitioning into self employment.

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Time can really fly by. We have to be so intentional about things so we can account for it and just be happier with our choices

    Looking forward to the video of “Living Alone” as you hinted.

    Ready for all the tea ☕️ because honestly I don’t see myself in a 9-5 but people are telling me I’ll calm down and even do unpaid jobs.
    Ps. I just graduated.

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I understand this. Truth is you'll get a whole lot of advice. Most of it, well intentioned but ultimately you have to choose what is best for you.

    And the way that ka formula of "since you like "reading + writing that means you will become a lawyer" is problematic is the fact that it never accounts for things being seasonal. It locks you into thinking that's the ka only pathway you can work towards and even ignoring so many other cues that could have been potential career options. It's so bad and we should do better to think about how else to mentor and encourage young people to harness many other skills like critical thinking that become critical to navigating and interrogating those bu areas of interest along the way. Thanks for the ka discussion by the way :)

    • @fionakemi
      @fionakemi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally agree. We need to throw all those bu 'formulas' away 🚮 and make room for more wholesome career choices that actually fit
