    Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story.
    After 13 years of drug abuse and addiction, I want to change and will do everything in my power to overcome intrusive thoughts and habitual habits.
    God bless everyone who has walked through darkness.

    Sometimes I wonder about this ME culture (myself included). I have a neighbor who just had a stroke in his 50s, and his wife dumped him. Maybe she’s living her best life now too. But, neighbor’s life is now a solitary daily struggle.

      Yes I tuned out when she said she left her husband. Not my kinda person and not the vibe I seek in a TedTalk

    I think this is the first account I've heard about someone moving from Hawaii to Alaska, and thriving in the latter state.

    Hello. The title is “the power of,” but this is actually her life story. I have 3 minutes left, so I’m gonna wait for the life lesson that helps “everyone.”

    If I had chance to start my life over again I would definitely make sure I would do it right and undo the mistakes I made.

  • @plainjaneofalltrades3853

    So I wasted my lunch break on “HER” story as opposed to a lesson that teaches and helps with starting over. I’m disappointed, but I’m happy she’s happier and healthier.

    I like her message of starting over. I don’t care if she has or doesn’t have tattoos on her arm or how she looks. I don’t care what any of the other comments say. If you don’t like the experience you don’t need to listen 👂 😅😅😂

    Ok so .... a person who's family had enough start-up capital to just 'start a business " is supposed to be a lesson to EVERYONE ELSE struggling with no money to our name? Waste of time.

    On one hand, good for the strength and not turning back. On the other hand, this « ALL ABOUT ME AND MYSELF » times are killing humans as social beings. Already today, a higher percentage of women and men are depressed. They’ve been married a couple of times, have kids with different partners, but are lonely.
    She says she tried. But, do we have, today, the tools to succeed in trying ? Or is the selfish behaviour already deeply ingrained in us and we just can no longer commit and accept compromises ?

    Oh I'm done with this, I'm a woman looking for videos on starting over, not how to use and step on people. I'm getting away from a narcissist, certainly not going to watch another one giving out tips. Best of luck everyone out there x

    @TravieSpots 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    This was a terrible story. She bounced from man to man, based on her current wants. She's been able to live in Hawaii, get her master's degree and admits that she relied on these men financially. This video was not helpful unless it's to manipulate men to get you your optimal life.

    • @wootwootwoot32
      @wootwootwoot32 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Maybe you got hurt yourself and are projecting? I don’t see where she said she financially took advantage of men?

    Her ONLY encouraging words were at the very end. You don’t know what you don’t know until you try. Smh… I will not rate this video. Have a great day.

    So you left your husband when he got sick instead of trying to help him. I dont think you have learnt anything from life. All you do is run around from one thing to the next.

    This was one of the worst talks I’ve listened to so far, I got no lesson and a life story

    • @bestself2438

      This isn’t sharing informed trauma…this is “look at me”! Probably why she’s been with so many dudes. That tracks.

    Sleeve tats on a woman discredits anything she has to say further.

      I like the arms and tats but it looks like she can punch you in the face quite hard!
