This was such a hard video for me to make.. probably because teaching has for so long been my identity ❤ hope you enjoy and forgive my mistakes hahah this was an emotional and hard video for me
Minimalism saved my motherhood... it makes me so emotional every time I think about it... I now get to see my babies growing and I can be the one who raises them and influences them.
I felt this video so close to my heart, especially as you described that anxiety feeling.
Thanks so much for sharing!
I hope you'll be able to help other people through your testimony
Aww thanks for sharing and I’m so glad my story spoke to you ❤️❤️ honestly it’s been a really hard road but I’m glad fear didn’t stop me
I quit my career in the medical field for 15 years. I know it’s so freeing.🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️ it really is ❤️I’m so grateful!
Me too. 2013 med school grad. and I've walked away!
Thank you so much for sharing! The “pit in our stomach” is a HUGE indicator our bodies give to us. It says “it’s time to make a change!!!” I had the same pit and I recently resigned after 26 years working for the same bank. I am trying to learn what my “dream job” would be, but in the meantime I’ve been decluttering and feeling great! I am taking actions towards Minimalism and I have learned so much from you!!
Wow! So inspiring ❤️❤️ thanks so much for sharing your journey!!
I can relate- just left my teaching job after 13 years in public schools. I could not do it one more day.
Thank you so much for sharing!
A friend of mine's daughter also had a tough time for one year teaching in TN. Her co-workers (women) were very petty and envious. Seriously, do some people ever move on from high school? She transferred to another state. Kudos to you for stepping out in faith and believing you could make all those changes.
I wish I could quit! I’m a single mom and I have to do it for my daughter:( 3 years in I knew I hated teaching haha and I’m 20 years in now !!! I love your Decluttering videos ❤
I get that ❤️I slowly pivoted to different teaching positions and honestly if I had to go back I would only do ESL. Maybe there is another job in the teaching profession but different enough that could help you ❤️❤️❤️ I'm thinking about you and wish you all the luck in the world!
❤🌻 You go for it girl! Thousands of people have benefited from your journey and you have helped us continue on our journeys as well. I know I wouldn’t have had the motivation had I not found you on your You tube channel. You encourage us… so let us encourage you to forge on by letting you know how helpful your content is to those of us who feel the same way about decluttering our lives. Sending you love and strength from Sheron in Toowoomba. Australia.
Appreciate the thought process behind the big decisions we see others do online.
Your passion for minimalism is contagious. While I am not on a materialistic decluttering I need more mental space
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
The definition of success definitely changes as we grow and transform.
Sometimes, we get "involuntarily pushed" into changes (long story), but they are blessings that we truly need, and couldn't do for ourselves.
Thank you for sharing such a great video!
Well said! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Becky, I appreciate both your authenticity and vulnerability. This is a great video. Thanks.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
I’ve loved hearing your story, Becky 💛 I have also found so much clarity after incorporating minimalism into my life. It truly feels like it clears up mental space to see what truly matters to us.
Thank you Becky!❤❤❤I quitted my job to become a full time housewife sometime 10 years ago. It was I thought would be a heartbreaking moment but it turned that THAT decision was one of the best things that ever happened because I watch my daughter as she grows. I have so much time to take care and be with my family. And THAT for me qualifies as SUCCESS. And because of minimalism, so much energy not spent on taking care of things. Thank you soooo much. Keep on inspiring God bless you and your family❤❤❤
What a beautiful story! ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing it with us!
Because of you I started my minimalist journey. Already it's made such a huge difference and impact in my life. I'm not where I should be but I'm excited to see how much more it will change my life. I feel happier and more care free. The difficult part is letting go of the idea that things define who I am as a person. I definitely struggle with it still. Especially when I'm surrounded by people that have a lot of beautiful things.
♥ Aw, Becky is going to love to see that she helped to improve your life!
When I went on maternity leave with my twins I decided to start a TH-cam channel to document my twins life. I have had three TH-cam channels since then and I am loving every minute of it ❤
Thank you for making this video❤ My life mirrors yours in so many ways. I’ve been in the teaching field in one way or another for 30 years. Normally I’d be starting a new school year in the next 3 weeks so it feels weird to not be getting ready to go back. I can relate to the exact feeling of having a pit in my stomach as the school year trudged along last year. You’re way ahead of me in the fact that I don’t know exactly what I want to do next yet though. I’ll be staying home until December other than a little subbing here and there so once my decluttering is done I’ll be able to take some time to just think and figure out what my next steps will be. Honestly, I’m just looking for a simpler life😊
It’s sounds like you’re on a good track! ❤️❤️ it took me a few years to get the courage and “my ducks in a row” to quit and chase something else but when you’re free and open it’s amazing how life has a way of speaking to you and helping guide you ❤️❤️ I wish you all the best!
@@minimalease Thank you so much! You as well❤️
My husband and I both taught ESL (he still does) and I recently decided to quit my job. I just felt like for my mental well being I couldn’t keep doing it. I really enjoyed it when we taught in Vietnam, but it’s a whole other ball game in the states. Glad you followed your intuition too ❤♥️
It really is.. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
You did a great job explaining the process Becky, I'm glad you eventually went for it, left teaching & started a new journey ❤️
Thank you so much!
This hits home. Been working the same job almost 30 years and I feel change is needed. Thanks for sharing your experience!!! ❤
You got this!
I so relate to having things in the way whete it makes life harder. It's so hard to clean when you have too much unnecessary stuff in the way.
I support you 💯 I'm a former NYC public school teacher . Sending you much love and light 💛 🌟
CONGRATULATIONS for taking the steps to make your dream a reality! I enjoy your enthusiasm and "realness" in each video. I'm also learning more about minimalism even though I've been on this journey for several years.
Thank you so much!!
Hi m nee here, I’m at that job. I hate it only 25 2nd year teacher it’s the worst I’m getting ready and crying at the same time. I’m planning a way out. Much respect and love from South Africa.
I feel this so much ❤️❤️❤️ make a plan and you are so capable! Teachers can do anything!
Thank you for sharing your story Becky.
It's never an easy decision to quit a profession you have worked so hard for. I can relate to your story but I have worked in oshc. Now a sahm I have learnt a lot about simple living through minimalism and gaining inspiration through channels such as yours. I'm happy for you. ❤😊

"Small changes" is great advice!
My daughter is starting college next month, majoring in English- adolescent education. She has had many people caution her that it's a very tough profession, especially in light of pushing more social agendas in the public schools. Thanks for sharing your new passion 😊
Very nicely done video giving your perspective and not being pushy about everyone adopting it. I’m glad you did what worked for you! My annoyances with my full time job aren’t enough to leave but I like the perspective of thinking about other options down the road :)
Thank you so much!
I went to Skipwith (back in the 80s!) ❤❤❤
So cool! What a small world
I'm so grateful my part time job doesn't interfere with our kids' scheduke at all. I agree. For ne being siccessful is def being avail for my family for all needs. I dknt think we will ever be minimalists but we have ded been deckuttering and doing more with less. It helps anxiety to see space.
My husband and I have just started discussing the potential of me quitting my job. I work from home at half time (during naps, evenings and weekends) and take care of our toddler. Unfortunately that is still not enough time to devote to his needs and contribute to our family like I want to. Things still get pushed off around the house and I feel the pit every day.
I’ve been subscribed for a while and This video….HITS HOME! I’ve considered making a video about it too because I just quit my teaching job as well…I’ve taught for 9 years….But I’m afraid for those I worked with to find it and be mean about it. It was a very toxic work environment and clickish. I needed to see this 🫶🏼 should I make a video about it as well? What are your thoughts?
Aww I’m so glad❤️❤️ if the people “who know who they are” see this video and here how mean they were too me, it doesn’t bother me 😂 I hope by now they have grown and learned from their cruelty but if they haven’t maybe it will help them reflect! You don’t owe mean or cruel people anything! Make that video if it’s something that you feel you need to do ❤️❤️
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing your story with us! ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Girl, struggle with depression from college till now as a school based SLP. Just 9 years to go till I can stop. Not sure if I will make it! But need that retirement!!
I hear you ❤️❤️ with all your skills is there anywhere you feel comfortable pivoting too?
@@minimalease not that I know of. I did just move to a very small town to a school I love. Best teachers ever. So maybe the slower pace of life, along with becoming more minimalish, will help counter the stress of the job and high caseload.☺️
It’s a learning process for sure. ❤
Thanks for sharing! And the encouragement as I started my TH-cam channel but haven’t picked it back up recently…. I really want to though ❤
You can do it!❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! I swear you were reading my mind. You are very motivating and inspirational. I love your story and journey. Thanks again!!! ❤
Hahah I try 🤣 this video has been on my mind for months and I still feel like I didn’t do it justice but I’m so grateful to be able to share what I can ❤️❤️
@@minimalease you did great!!!
I started teaching when I decided my kids and I needed to get out of an abusive relationship from my ex-husband. My youngest (twins) were starting Kindergarten and my eldest was going into
2nd grade. We were not at the same elementary school like you and your daughter and it was hard.
Starting my 27th year in one week and I’m just ready to stop. I have 2.5 years more and I don’t think I will feel bad stopping in the middle of a year. I will be 60 in December and my money advisor says I will come out better working until 62.
I never said I loved my job, I just needed a job that would allow me to be off when my kids were off (single mom).
I did for the most part enjoy my job. I was there for my students and my children. I deal a lot better with kids than adults so perfect job for me. 🤣
So here we go year number 27!!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your journey how empowering! You are so close and I look forward to learning what you want to do next! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. I was very inspired by this.
Aww I’m so glad ❤️❤️
Congratulations your channel has grown a lot been watching you for while 😊
Aww thank you so much!
I love this video. Thank you for this. I want to say a few things:
When we find ourselves in a job we like or love, we get to relax and find joy in other things, too. It makes perfect sense why you would divert some and eventually more of your energy into YouTubing at this point.
When we have a job that abuses us, we have nothing left to give to ourselves, moreover, we are probably feeling trapped in that job because of financial obligations and this means other areas are going poorly as well. When people unhelpfully suggest that we imagine a better future and create our happiness, it is like sitting behind someone wearing a large hat at the cinema and someone asking us to imagine the film playing on the screen! Happiness begets more happiness; that is how it works and not otherwise.
The other thing I wanted to say is that, whenever I misplace something and have to spend more than three minutes hunting for it, I know I need to declutter more.
Whenever I start to get anxious about outcomes that don’t depend on my actions and I’ve already done my best at getting the outcome I hope for, that is a signal that it is time for me to stop dwelling on that and go clean something.
And I also wanted to say that someone has been where you’ve been and your perspective is validating, or someone wants to be where you are and wants to know how you got there, or someone has been where you are now, they are cheering for you, and they want you to know that it gets even better than how far you have already come.
This video is fantastic.
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
❤ yea for minimalism and self discovery!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Me currently in college majoring in early childhood education 😅 Is there anything else I could do with my degree besides teaching?
Yes!
🤩💛
❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Oh gosh, what were those women like? I'm so sorry!! Who could be mean to you?!
They were the kind of mean girls you think would only live in the movies 🤦🏼♀️
@@minimalease oh gosh I’m sorry.
Which high yield account are you using?
Robinhood
It isn’t natural or normal for women to work outside the home day after day. Women’s bodies are changing on a monthly hormonal cycle; men cycle daily. Women and men are different, we have different needs and we are fulfilled by different things in life.
while I don't 100% agree with this because I think as women and men we are all so different and need different things for our health. For me, I do appreciate having more flexibility. Thanks for sharing you ideas ❤️
Apparently teaching in the US and the UK is terrible. In the UK most of the children are suffering from hunger and have to be fed toast. The kids are disruptive don’t want too learn and are aggressive towards the teachers. I’m shocked.
Some of the Big problems we have here in the US are that we want our kids to preform above and beyond, but we don't feed them well and often they are going home to families that need more help and support then the school can offer.. just from my observations
