Oh BTW.....I am in the final stretch of blasting the hell out of this leg of my life. I am 76 Stephanie, and am currently in the final stretch of my sabbatical year roaming the globe. I am almost there. I just gave up my apartment and am in an airbnb until May. Then I am off. Not sure of my first destination.. but the world is my oyster now!!! I've laid all the groundwork....stacked cash....no bills. The only thing I am working on is what you talked about here. Yep....I've decluttered...so radically that it made me nervous!!! My storage locker is now the size of a coat closet. Now I have to declutter on the more scary level.....ideas that don't work, values that don't work, friends that don't work, family (well, I decluttered there years back) ets c. etc. Stephanie, can you please have a panel of older women in their 70s and even 80s who are braving this type of leap. We have different cares and concerns and it's never DEEPLY talked about. Love you. P.S. Im hoping to do my first international sit.
WoW..I so appreciate reading your and others story..I'm 65 now, have been watching Stephanie channel for few years...learning so much from other mature women and the ways they've chosen to navigate the years to come...I desire to experience more freedom..sabbatical lifestyle
Speak on it, sis! We are just SO TIRED! A whole lifetime of being expected to never be tired (especially if you’re child-free), to always go above and beyond, to give & give and expect little in return. Exhausted from the expectations and burdens.
Greetings all, I’m 47 and my rebirth has made it clear that this chapter of my life no longer serves me. Loss director job, filed for divorce, relocated to a place for a job that I no longer have. I could go on and on, but I’m focused on the next phase of my life and it’s not in the US.
I received my PhD. 3 months ago, will be 40 in 2 months, lost my job last month, and getting divorced next month. I'm truly starting anew, and I am afraid. I hope that through your channel and followers, I can gain support through this transition with my children.
Hello ladies, I’m 55 ex truck driver forced into retirement, now working on stacking funds and declutterring then I will be in the expat streets, best wishes to you all ❣️
Hi👋 . Lost my job, lost my mom who was the only parent left, and moved back to my country with children, so it's a starting over on a higher level. Unfortunately, we have no one to live with, no family or relatives. But we will get there😊. Thanks for always sharing great content for us black women Stephanie ❤
70 yrs old. Recently lost my husband, quit my nursing job, moved to embrace co-living with my daughter in California. Registered with Trusted Housesitter, no money and still scared to take first steps alone. 😢
For my birthday, I had to start over. Left stable income, feelings of overwhelm and SHAME and on the tip of a mental breakdown. Gracefully I kept my apartment in Bogotá. However I’m starting over from the bottom making slow but steady progress. 😔
Coming from someone who's had to start over several times, YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm cheering and praying that you find your true essence, your voice, and strength again!❤
Hello, all!!! Over 65 here…was financially devastated by divorce, credit in the toilet from that and then the pandemic flushed it. I have two degrees, I’m healthy, fit, and I have a daughter with a career that transferred her from Orlando to Dallas. I’m giving up my $1700 a month apartment and co- living with her and family in a new state. Maybe I’ll meet my rich dream boat 🙏🏽or maybe I’ll just save up a ton of money. Either way, I’m done being angry, disappointed and feeling defeated. And reinventing myself, creating the life I dreamed of when was younger. Working on my own “moveable feast.” Looking onward and upward…Portugal, Panama, Paris, Milan, Mexico, Martinique here I come. And I couldn’t be more grateful. Blessings to all for being our own protectors and providers. Being courageous and faithful.🙏🏽Blessings to us all.

That frustration you expressed is how we ALL feel. Holding it in can be detrimental to your health / happiness. I’m glad you let a little of it out. ❤️
I am 68 years old. I have been co living most of my life. I grew up with 4 generations living in our house. My cousin and a friend are currently living with me. We spent 17 days in Europe last October. Compromise is essential for successful co living but it works for us.
30 years old & left a toxic work environment voluntarily in Jan. Trying to enjoy this season, but the volatility of the job market coupled with my dwindling savings makes me FEARFUL.
My midlife crisis was amazing. Embrace the ego death, mourn the life you strove so hard for but it's time to let go, cleanse and renew. What comes after that ego death is better than what you were doing before.
Good morning! I missed the LIVE by just a bit, but my morning hadn't gotten started yet. I quit a job after 16 years in August last year. Switched to a new one to stack cash to make my getaway in a few years. Found the environment toxic (my Caucasian male friend who recommended the job doesn't have the same experience I do while working there). Called my old boss to get my former job back, and he was totally willing, but HR and "the rules" were making the deal worse for me (reduced leave and sick time earned). So I withdrew and I'm back to this job I don't like and find overwhelming. Just trying to tough it out FIVE years until I can retire at 60. I should've saved a LOT more money. If you're young, stack that cash NOW.
I am 49, sold my house, three businesses. Lost all my money in a bad investment. It was everything I had so I could travel & move abroad. I was discouraged but every time I get on this app, I see your community and get back on a roll. I found my community in Belize. I plan to visit and to stay a while. I have a family, so I got prepare for them. I AM WORKING ON GAINING MY FINACES BACK SO I CAN ESCAPE THE US!!! Thank you, Stephanie.
Hellllerrrr! I’m just here on the replay! Can we talk about Stephanie’s voice? Am I the only one who tunes in for the content and her calming tone? Who feels like everything’s gonna be alright after listening ???Raise your hand if you think Stephanie should do some guided meditations/affirmations on her own app! ✋🏾Of course I’m happy to listen to keep listening to the TH-cam’s! 💃🏿
Hello and good afternoon Stephanie. I am currently co-living, after leaving an abuser. I felt ashamed and defeated. After seeing this, I now see the BLESSING. NO SHAME IN CO-LIVING. AT LEAST I AM LIVING. 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
This is great information and mind set is everything. My son passed away, then lost my job and home- broken and tired but I am going to make it. Nothing can shake me at this point. Starting my own business and definitely see a tiny home in my future. I am 60 and while starting over is daunting, I have nothing to lose.
replay watcher here. Cambly was a great option for me when i got divorced and needed quick additional cash on top of my full time job. The schedule was flexible and could do from my house.
Good evening! I am 51 yrs old and have recently lost my home because of my significant decrease in my income along with the rapid inflation cost of living in the U.S., so I was blessed into a co -living environment that is very temporary. I am working technical certifications as a career pivot from designing homes (that I could not even afford to buy...smh). I apologize, Lol, I'm ranting now. I am highly interested in living outside of the U.S. before this year is up. I am thinking that house sitting is a good option for me since my adult children and one parent are spread out in different continents at the moment. I just downloaded the housesitting guided. Love, peace, light and continued blessings to you & thank you for sharing!
Am 52 I currently work in a warehouse for 10 hours a day my legs are starting to hurt and I have a learning disability 😢am trying to start an online business selling T-shirt but it’s hard thank you for this 😢
Hello everyone. I’m 24.. Left my stable job last October to drive for Amazon (was well needed but also a mistake and inconsistent hours) fast forward to March I got fired the day I had a minor car accident, (I didn’t have insurance because I had to pay the car note and my rent and it lapsed. So I had my car and license plate taken and had to get everything back.) started working for my mom again (it’s been a struggle), lost my apartment and fast forward to last Monday I flipped my car and it was totaled. (I’m okay though thank God). So I’m pretty much stripped of everything. I have support but I feel like a complete failure. I’m looking at the brighter side of everything. And hopefully I can somehow get completely back on my feet😭.
Thanks God that you are definitely here for a purpose and God hand of protection is all over you. Let this stand a a testimony of God restore everything you lost and returning it in 3 months. ❤Be encouraged you will make it
Was injured on the job with a major airline yr 2022.....cannot work on a regular basis, my youngest daughter had to move in with me to help with the rent, benefits her as well....😁
(53:50) Hold up!! Sister Stephanie just said, "Some of y'all are gonna work 50 years of your life... Does ONE YEAR when you DON'T WORK sound THAT ridiculous?!" WHEW! Preach that good word, sis! That's the best sell I've EVER heard!!
Grandrising Stephanie, you’ve been a light in my life. I’m a 38-year-old with one fur baby living in my car. Because I decided to leave an unhappy marriage, now I'm starting over in the process of reinventing myself. These TH-cam videos that you make have been a guide for me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video is so timely. I got laid off last year. Started a new job in the Fall and quickly discovered my boss was not a fan of melanated women. Now unemployed again, I am looking/needing to make a serious life pivot at 38 years old. Thank you for the tips and inspiration to transform my life. And thank you for sharing one of your three topics near the end of the video! 🍉
Watching each and every video. The “always on and doing and taking care of everyone but me has totally destroyed me mentally physically and emotionally. Figuring it out and this is speaking to my soul. Pray for me please.
Missed the beginning of the live, but first to comment! 😁 I'm currently on a sabbatical - one year has turned to one and a half years. May not ever go back to Canada except in the summers. Thanks for the informative topic. I do freelance technical writing, but I'm finding that you have to hustle for those clients, and the work and therefore the pay isn't always consistent.
I used to spend too much time prospecting for clients when I was a virtual assistant. It sucked. I wish I has positioned myself differently and did things like content marketing and speaking at conferences to get a stream of clients like @wes mcdowell does.
Greetings to you and all. So glad that there’s a platform to support us black women. I want change. I want to make changes in my life that serves me. I work the 9-5 corporate yet I’m glad I’m a remote worker but on the flip side is that I hardly get outside. I want to travel more and really embrace life!
Hello Everyone, I absolutely love this community! Everyone is so supportive & kind. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your journey, your friendship & love to “ ALL” of us.
I’m 51 and ended my almost 20 year career this past September. My home is paid for. Only property taxes, homeowners insurance, monthly bills, and groceries. I’m living off of my savings. I haven’t tapped into my retirement funds YET. I also have a pension plan , but I have to be at least 55 to start receiving partial retirement benefits, or 58 for full benefits. I’ve been using this time to rest and travel. I loved Costa Rica🇨🇷 ! My 12 yr old didn’t want to leave 😢… Okay so my dilemma is this. I LOVE ❤️to travel, and I fancy the idea of moving abroad. However, I don’t have any set career plans moving forward. House sitting sounds great, but I’m a full time mother, and can’t figure out hours to do this with my kid. I’m not an animal person per se. 🆘
I got tired as a young mom and started global living with my 2 kids. 18 years in! Ladies just do it! Living abroad is so much better than struggle life in the US.. Stephanie, excellent content! Community Care is the Truth!
Hello everyone. Yes, I was released at 60+ and felt hurt, embarrassed, doomed, etc. Five months later after soul searching and now transitioning to a better life developing my dreams. I would not have imagined my dreams while grinding on someone else's agenda. I'm blessed right where I stand and grateful for the next chapters in my life. It wasn't easy getting here but I have arrived. Hang in there and reimagine how your day would begin according to your agenda. Slowly make those changes and bring them to fruition.
Rich Rising Ladies! I left my employer of 16 years almost 3 years ago. I was a month away from turning 41. All this time, I have been undoing a limited mindset around being able to live a secure life. I am finally ready to make a bold move and leave my comfort zone. I feel supported by the stirring within me to write a new story. You all are such an inspiration! I am finally feeling excited about starting over🎉
Hello all! Replay. So, I have concerns with co-living. Please be thoughtful and intentional on who you live with. I had to move in with my parents 6 month ago and it is extremely difficult for me. Please make sure you have great boundaries if you are living with family. This is my fourth stint, and it just doesn't work. I am past grown, and unfortunately, I am treated like a child. There are a ton of demands and expectations. Please live with other family members that you trust or a roommate that you trust. Not all family members want what is best for you.
sunrise black women, i just tuned in here, it's august 18'24 thank you for this Stephanie and i'm glad i'm here because without your channel and the other ladies' channels, i would have been alone and in my head about everything i'm about to do now.. it is scary but it's inevitable
I am 53 years old and I already left a different comment on this video, but Stephanie said something that REALLY hit me hard, she said that she went home to her parents. I wish I had some parents. 😢❤. Mommy left 32 years ago at 37 years old, and Daddy …is around. When I get free to travel I am going to go love on some Elderly people and get some in return. ❤
Hello; 56 yrs young 6:27! Have a lot of ideas/interests/plans. Fairly fearless and I've learned to give God my ideas and more importantly....ask him what I should do. Y'all I sat before the Lord for awhile and felt I was on a God approved journey then the bottom fell out. Believe it was God approved, I'm going through what people call the wilderness season and it's been spiritually hard and very demanding on my patience. Heard of your co before, came across this vid this evening and looking forward to the video.
Hey, Stephanie and all of our fam.Good morning to everybody.I will be talking to you the next time.Retired and living in thailand should be on april fifth
good morning watching on 4/3/24 i retired from my education job on 1/1/24 @55.. I'm blessed that I do have a pension that covers all my expenses and am an empty nester so i am just responsible for myself. my life is so different now I took a break and am now working as a flight attendant something that i always wanted to try
Hello!! 🙂 Just tuning in and Happy to be here for today's message as I'm in the ever-evolving process of a New Beginning. Looking forward to adding to the nuggets of wisdom being paid forward. Thank you for your time and service to The Community.
God sent this video to my timeline. My husband passed in 2022 of a massive heart attack at 56 and I feel like I’m stuck in a dead end job. I have two teen kids and I’m just disgusted.
Hello Stephanie and everyone! So glad to have found this GREAT group of supportive new friends. I'm 53, starting over and PROUD! 25 years of robotics for a company that didn't care a thing about me became overwhelming. I watched a couple of your videos before I found this one. I saw this one...I thought OMG she's talking to me. How did she know I was feeling like this... how did she know I was thinking that same thing OMG. Hello new family 🧘🏾♀️🫶🏾✨🩷❣️
Good morning! God Bless you. I have been thinking, praying about how to start over at 75. I need this. I lost the use of my hands after a spinal surgery.
Thank you so much Miz Stephanie for your honesty and for sharing creative options for the good life that Black women deserve as much as anyone else. Ive been roaming due to unfortunate circumstances but I have learned so much about my true capacities and the beauty that life has to offer to those who want it. We have skills and we can take them on the road. Our lives are NOT a performance for anyone. We have each and all done for so many; we can do all that for ourselves, and still be a part of community, building community. Full stop.

I quit a job after 16 years in August last year. Switched to a new one to stack cash to make my getaway in a few years. Found the environment toxic (my Caucasian male friend who recommended the job doesn't have the same experience I do while working there). Called my old boss to get my former job back, and he was totally willing, but HR and "the rules" were making the deal worse for me (reduced leave and sick time earned). So I withdrew and I'm back to this job I don't like and find overwhelming. Just trying to tough it out FIVE years until I can retire at 60. I should've saved a LOT more money. If you're young, stack that cash NOW.

Hellllerrrr! I’m just here on the replay! Can we talk about Stephanie’s voice? Am I the only one who tunes in for the content and her calming tone? Who feels like everything’s gonna be alright after listening ???Raise your hand if you think Stephanie should do some guided meditations/affirmations on her own app! ✋🏾Of course I’m happy to listen to keep listening to the TH-cam’s! 💃🏿
Hello and good afternoon Stephanie. I am currently co-living, after leaving an abuser. I felt ashamed and defeated. After seeing this, I now see the BLESSING. NO SHAME IN CO-LIVING. AT LEAST I AM LIVING.
🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
This is great information and mind set is everything.
My son passed away, then lost my job and home- broken and tired but I am going to make it. Nothing can shake me at this point. Starting my own business and definitely see a tiny home in my future. I am 60 and while starting over is daunting, I have nothing to lose.
Hello from Washington DC. I left my miserable job of 32 years 2 months ago and I'm ready to travel the world. I definitely need help starting over.
replay watcher here. Cambly was a great option for me when i got divorced and needed quick additional cash on top of my full time job. The schedule was flexible and could do from my house.
I "retired" from my job feb '23 just after turing 64. Presently im decluttering and not she were my first destination is yet, but I'm ready
Good evening! I am 51 yrs old and have recently lost my home because of my significant decrease in my income along with the rapid inflation cost of living in the U.S., so I was blessed into a co -living environment that is very temporary. I am working technical certifications as a career pivot from designing homes (that I could not even afford to buy...smh). I apologize, Lol, I'm ranting now. I am highly interested in living outside of the U.S. before this year is up. I am thinking that house sitting is a good option for me since my adult children and one parent are spread out in different continents at the moment. I just downloaded the housesitting guided. Love, peace, light and continued blessings to you & thank you for sharing!
Am 52 I currently work in a warehouse for 10 hours a day my legs are starting to hurt and I have a learning disability 😢am trying to start an online business selling T-shirt but it’s hard thank you for this 😢
You can do anything you put your mind to. You have a different way of learning that is all. May God bless you ❤
I'm co living.
Hello everyone. I’m 24.. Left my stable job last October to drive for Amazon (was well needed but also a mistake and inconsistent hours) fast forward to March I got fired the day I had a minor car accident, (I didn’t have insurance because I had to pay the car note and my rent and it lapsed. So I had my car and license plate taken and had to get everything back.) started working for my mom again (it’s been a struggle), lost my apartment and fast forward to last Monday I flipped my car and it was totaled. (I’m okay though thank God). So I’m pretty much stripped of everything. I have support but I feel like a complete failure. I’m looking at the brighter side of everything. And hopefully I can somehow get completely back on my feet😭.
Thanks God that you are definitely here for a purpose and God hand of protection is all over you. Let this stand a a testimony of God restore everything you lost and returning it in 3 months. ❤Be encouraged you will make it
@@LearnMathWithMsK thank you for the kind words❤️❤️
Sending prayers
@@homebody61 thank you!❤️❤️
Was injured on the job with a major airline yr 2022.....cannot work on a regular basis, my youngest daughter had to move in with me to help with the rent, benefits her as well....😁

Hello Stephanie lost my job jan 2024. I will deeply listening to this in depth.
Good morning ladies! I’m 51, medical coder, and in the process of starting over after 50. I love the community I found with exodus summit group.
(53:50) Hold up!! Sister Stephanie just said, "Some of y'all are gonna work 50 years of your life... Does ONE YEAR when you DON'T WORK sound THAT ridiculous?!"
WHEW! Preach that good word, sis! That's the best sell I've EVER heard!!
Greetings Stephanie and chat. I love all my black sisters. 🫂🫂🫂
Grandrising Stephanie, you’ve
been a light in my life. I’m a 38-year-old with one fur baby living in my car. Because I decided to leave an unhappy marriage, now I'm starting over in the process of reinventing myself. These TH-cam videos that you make have been a guide for me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video is so timely. I got laid off last year. Started a new job in the Fall and quickly discovered my boss was not a fan of melanated women. Now unemployed again, I am looking/needing to make a serious life pivot at 38 years old. Thank you for the tips and inspiration to transform my life. And thank you for sharing one of your three topics near the end of the video! 🍉
I'm in the same boat, and age I'm ready for a change
Love and kindness always!! Thank you Queen! I turned 50 this month- looking forward to celebrating yours in July in Dubai!
Good morning!
Good morning! Grand Rising! I'm ready to start house sitting!
Watching each and every video. The “always on and doing and taking care of everyone but me has totally destroyed me mentally physically and emotionally. Figuring it out and this is speaking to my soul. Pray for me please.
Missed the beginning of the live, but first to comment! 😁 I'm currently on a sabbatical - one year has turned to one and a half years. May not ever go back to Canada except in the summers. Thanks for the informative topic. I do freelance technical writing, but I'm finding that you have to hustle for those clients, and the work and therefore the pay isn't always consistent.
I used to spend too much time prospecting for clients when I was a virtual assistant. It sucked. I wish I has positioned myself differently and did things like content marketing and speaking at conferences to get a stream of clients like @wes mcdowell does.
@@StephaniePerry Thanks! I'll check her out.
I don’t mind living with someone. The circumstances have to be right and we have to keep communicating a priority.
FEEL THE SAME. I'M CELINE 60 SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN
Greetings to you and all. So glad that there’s a platform to support us black women. I want change. I want to make changes in my life that serves me. I work the 9-5 corporate yet I’m glad I’m a remote worker but on the flip side is that I hardly get outside. I want to travel more and really embrace life!
Hi ladies, watching the replay. Wishing us all a healthy and relaxing lifestyle.🤎🌸
Good morning everyone!
Hello Everyone, I absolutely love this community! Everyone is so supportive & kind. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your journey, your friendship & love to “ ALL” of us.
Hello. Missed the live; watching the replay. I am ready to leave my job at soon to be 61 years old.
I’m 51 and ended my almost 20 year career this past September. My home is paid for. Only property taxes, homeowners insurance, monthly bills, and groceries. I’m living off of my savings. I haven’t tapped into my retirement funds YET. I also have a pension plan , but I have to be at least 55 to start receiving partial retirement benefits, or 58 for full benefits. I’ve been using this time to rest and travel. I loved Costa Rica🇨🇷 ! My 12 yr old didn’t want to leave 😢… Okay so my dilemma is this. I LOVE ❤️to travel, and I fancy the idea of moving abroad. However, I don’t have any set career plans moving forward. House sitting sounds great, but I’m a full time mother, and can’t figure out hours to do this with my kid. I’m not an animal person per se. 🆘

Happy Saturday! Atlanta, GA
Good morning from California. Starting over after 64 yrs young 😊
Hey Stephanie love ❤️ your channel. l want to house 🏡 next year. 🎉
I got tired as a young mom and started global living with my 2 kids. 18 years in! Ladies just do it! Living abroad is so much better than struggle life in the US.. Stephanie, excellent content! Community Care is the Truth!
Hello everyone. Yes, I was released at 60+ and felt hurt, embarrassed, doomed, etc. Five months later after soul searching and now transitioning to a better life developing my dreams. I would not have imagined my dreams while grinding on someone else's agenda. I'm blessed right where I stand and grateful for the next chapters in my life. It wasn't easy getting here but I have arrived. Hang in there and reimagine how your day would begin according to your agenda. Slowly make those changes and bring them to fruition.
Congrats on being featured in the wall street journal Stephanie 🎉❤
Good Morning Everyone!
Rich Rising Ladies! I left my employer of 16 years almost 3 years ago. I was a month away from turning 41. All this time, I have been undoing a limited mindset around being able to live a secure life. I am finally ready to make a bold move and leave my comfort zone. I feel supported by the stirring within me to write a new story. You all are such an inspiration! I am finally feeling excited about starting over🎉
Hello, everyone. Stephanie, I love your content.
Hello all! Replay. So, I have concerns with co-living. Please be thoughtful and intentional on who you live with. I had to move in with my parents 6 month ago and it is extremely difficult for me. Please make sure you have great boundaries if you are living with family. This is my fourth stint, and it just doesn't work. I am past grown, and unfortunately, I am treated like a child. There are a ton of demands and expectations. Please live with other family members that you trust or a roommate that you trust. Not all family members want what is best for you.
Amen to that, some environments can stunt your growth ❤
I appreciate you so much Sis!!!! Thank you for this VITAL content!!
sunrise black women, i just tuned in here, it's august 18'24
thank you for this Stephanie and i'm glad i'm here because without your channel and the other ladies' channels, i would have been alone and in my head about everything i'm about to do now.. it is scary but it's inevitable
Hi hi ya’ll, hanging out catching the replay 💕
I am 53 years old and I already left a different comment on this video, but Stephanie said something that REALLY hit me hard, she said that she went home to her parents. I wish I had some parents. 😢❤. Mommy left 32 years ago at 37 years old, and Daddy …is around. When I get free to travel I am going to go love on some Elderly people and get some in return. ❤
I am 60 and I feel like I need a reset. I still have a job but not happy at this time.
Hello; 56 yrs young 6:27! Have a lot of ideas/interests/plans. Fairly fearless and I've learned to give God my ideas and more importantly....ask him what I should do. Y'all I sat before the Lord for awhile and felt I was on a God approved journey then the bottom fell out. Believe it was God approved, I'm going through what people call the wilderness season and it's been spiritually hard and very demanding on my patience. Heard of your co before, came across this vid this evening and looking forward to the video.
Good evening ladies! I am co living with my beloved son
Hey, Stephanie and all of our fam.Good morning to everybody.I will be talking to you the next time.Retired and living in thailand should be on april fifth

Good morning. I lost my job this year. Im in my late 40s In process of launching my home health care. Still researching and getting legit information.
Enjoying the replay. This video was on time.🙏🏽❤️
God sent this video to my timeline. My husband passed in 2022 of a massive heart attack at 56 and I feel like I’m stuck in a dead end job. I have two teen kids and I’m just disgusted.
Good afternoon! Yes, we are still friends! 😊
Hello Stephanie and everyone! So glad to have found this GREAT group of supportive new friends.
I'm 53, starting over and PROUD! 25 years of robotics for a company that didn't care a thing about me became overwhelming.
I watched a couple of your videos before I found this one. I saw this one...I thought OMG she's talking to me. How did she know I was feeling like this... how did she know I was thinking that same thing OMG. Hello new family 🧘🏾♀️🫶🏾✨🩷❣️
…And I’m at my wits end…Found your videos in answer to a prayer, so I’m here
58 and I’m here😢😂🎉
Good Afternoon from Jersey, love your hair sis!
Good morning! God Bless you. I have been thinking, praying about how to start over at 75. I need this. I lost the use of my hands after a spinal surgery.
Good afternoon, watching the replay.
Yes, that will be me loss a job, loss a house. My daughter and I live together paying rent from a home owner
Good afternoon Stephanie and guests!❤🎉
Thank you so much Miz Stephanie for your honesty and for sharing creative options for the good life that Black women deserve as much as anyone else. Ive been roaming due to unfortunate circumstances but I have learned so much about my true capacities and the beauty that life has to offer to those who want it. We have skills and we can take them on the road. Our lives are NOT a performance for anyone. We have each and all done for so many; we can do all that for ourselves, and still be a part of community, building community. Full stop.
Grand rise Beautiful People 👑🌹🌞
