“stay tuned for my mental breakdown later” me lmao
Paige Elizabeth so funny and sad at the same time. I feel her though
Paige Elizabeth same😂
We need merch 😅
Paige Elizabeth lmao literally same girl same
@@npruitt92 honestly, truly!!!
I really appreciate you acknowledging the privilege you have to be able to quit a job you don’t enjoy so early. everyone always preaches do what you love but most don’t have the option to do so, work is how people survive most of the time whether they enjoy it or not. thanks for recognizing your unique position and best of luck!
Kiera This!!!
It's so important to do what makes you happy. That's it. That is 100% what matters no matter what anyone ever says.
"If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back." (A life lesson from a 90 year old.)
idk, some peoples problems are they got a 90% instead of a 100% on a test. id take that one
Thank goodness someone commented something like this.
Please make a merch hoodie that says “stay tuned for my mental breakdown later” I have never related to something more in my life.
Hailey Brooks yes!!!!!
Can we get "stay tuned for my mental breakdown later" on merch!?! I need that on a coffee cup. Lol love you Brooke! 💗💗
Jennifer Pettice yes we need this!!
yes!!
OMG YES.
YES!!!!
I need this on a T-shirt!!
I’m 29 now but I remember the post-grad blues SO clearly. It’s real. I fully support anyone making whatever moves towards happiness they need to make. But if anyone is stuck in their job and can’t leave it, I just want to let you know you will be okay soon. You’ll get into a routine and you’ll have friends at work, OR even if you don’t make friends at work, just think of work as a means to enjoy other parts of your life like vacation/travel/nights out. I work to live, not live to work.👍🏻 it’s a necessary part of life but you can make it a positive thing or a negative thing. Just focus on the benefits of your job! And I mean literally- 401k company match, anyone? But in all seriousness, I hope you’re all doing well and take it from an “elder” (lol) everything gets better soon.
Brooke, post grad is hard. I graduated a few years ago and the year after graduating was the most stressful and confusing year of my life. You aren’t alone in this crazy time and I’m so glad you’re doing what’s best for you! Things will only get better from here :)
Kylie I’m a recent post grad atm thank you for this!
If you are hating your job and wishing you could quit too, just remember it takes 6 months to adjust to your job. Stick it out and if it doesn't get better between 6 months to a year then switch! Nothing against Brooke, good for her for pursuing what she wants and I hope it goes well!!
I agree with this, but I have to say with my first job out of college I knew it didn’t feel right. I stuck with it for a year, and then moved on. So I just feel like when you know, you know!
I have to disagree! I've worked two contracts, one 6 month and one 8 month (at different places) and I would say at 3 months in I knew if I would like it long term. In the 6 month job I knew I worked well in that environment and I could do it long term. In the 8 month job I knew honestly about 2 months in that I could not take it for any longer than the 8 months. If you know you know and working full time in a job that drags you down is not worth it if you can make that choice financially
This was more a reminder to all of us who aren't as fortunate as Brooke to quit our jobs that there is an adjustment period to a new job. Sometimes people don't like their job because they don't feel confident yet but the longer they do it the more confidence they have in themselves. And that it's easier to find a job when you have a job, so it could be helpful get another job offer then switch to lessen the financial stress on yourself.
I don't know I've worked a lot of jobs and none of them felt right from the get-go until my current position. Sometimes you just know.
Seeing you how sad you were in the clip after that bad day at work and then how truly happy you were talking about your upcoming plans in the next clip made me smile. You are absolutely glowing. I am so happy for you and wish you all the happiness & success in the world. nothing can hold you back.. you are so admirable. xo
I love watching your videos in the morning while I eat my breakfast and drink my coffee. A VIBE.
Jenna SAMEEEE
I'm LOVING this. I actually decided to quit my internship and find a new one and I'm talking to my manager tomorrow! You just gave me so much courage Brooke. Love you!
I’m so happy for you! I was in a similar situation with a 9-5 office job and wanted to get out so badly + pursue my own passions and dreams. I can’t wait to see what this chapter holds for you!
Just got off a 12 hour overnight shift but why would I go to sleep when I could watch this?
Same 😂
Brooke I am so proud of you to make this decision. This really puts in a great example that accepting being miserable is NOT ok and inspires us to take "unconventional" decisions too to not compromise our mental health. Thank you.
so proud of you for doing what's best for you! its such a struggle going from graduation to a 9-5 that is exhausting, just remember there is no timeline on life, you are going to age no matter what might as well be doing something you want to be doing!!
I was in a very similar situation with a job this time last year. I quit after a month because it spun my mental health out of control. NO JOB is worth that. Definitely don’t have regrets about quitting! You have to take care of yourself! Proud of you!
OMG the foreshadowing over New York!! Binge watching you for the millionth time, seriously so proud of how far you’ve come in all aspects of your life!!
ur mood change after your announcement was actually the sweetest thing ever!!!!! so glad ur pursuing what makes you happy
Brooke.. I don’t personally know you but I absolutely love you. I look so forward to what your day brings , how you handle it and your words of wisdom. I believe in you 100%. You are so fortunate to have the support of your mom & dad.. that is your backbone & means everything. The “invisible” people following along with you on TH-cam support you too ♥️ You WILL do great things because you’ve built your brand for years.. when you didn’t even realize you were doing it!! And you will continue to broaden your brand.. You are very bright, super motivated, fun, not afraid to take risks and never hurts to be so beautiful! And I mean that with everything in me.. in short what I see in you! The sky is the limit for you.. and you WILL find your happiness. I wish you every success!♥️
Just quit my job that I’ve only been at for three months post grad. Here for you Brooke! Onto bigger and better things
yesss Brooke so proud. YOU DO YOU BOO!! no one ever looks back and thinks "damn im so glad I made all those decisions based on other people's expectations of me." ily
Honestly so happy that you've decided to listen to your mental health it's so important and you should never feel like you're letting anyone/yourself down by making a choice that will make you healthier and happier!
Have you considered that birth control could be causing the emotional swings? I know you said a few vlogs back you recently went back on bc for your skin. I recently did the same thing, I went back on birth control ab 2 months ago after being off for 6 months and it took (and is still taking) a huge toll on my mental health. Love the long vlogs tho and I def agree, happiness is the most important thing in life and you should do whatever makes YOU happy❤️
There's been some research on cannabis-related products causing changes in the brain that mimic schizophrenia :\ I know the CBD is free of THC, but who knows, so many things can impact how our brains are functioning.
so happy for you for making a tough decision like this. don’t ever feel like you need to justify your life choices, you do you and the real ones will support you!! keep killin it girl 💝✨
made it to the end, as always! I just want to say I’m SO proud of you & happy for you for taking this leap of faith. I have such a positive feeling that things are going to continue looking up for you from here on out
Looking forward to seeing the weeks in your life as you shed this skin and embrace life with a positive attitude!
Im so happy for you Brooke, you're truly making one of the best decisions of your life and hopefully it brings you nothing but happiness
If you end up having time I would love bonus solo episodes of GOTG from you! Would be cool to have an extra each week!
Brooke saying “if anyone wants to be my friend” is the most relatable thing omg 😂
yesss so happy for you! do what's best for YOU and always put your mental health first!
So happy for you for choosing what makes you happy! Can’t wait to see what you do. We’ll always be here to support you!!! Luv you xx
We’ll support you no matter what! Also huge thank you for keeping the in-video ads to a minimum, most youtubers are out of control adding ads!
Brooke, I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself and leaving your job! It's much much easier to just ride it out and deal with it opposed to standing up for yourself and taking control of your life. I'm so excited to see where the vlogs go and to see you happier!
I’m so glad you’re sharing this part of your life on TH-cam, one of my biggest fears is getting a job after I graduate and then hating it so it’s helpful to see you dealing with that!! I hope you’ve been feeling better after this week
You go girl! My friend was in a very similar situation after college and now is happier than ever. Keep doing what makes you happy!
girl when it comes to the job i felt the SAME especially with the first 6 months, I cried at my desk MANY times, and I stopped putting effort in taking care of myself, it really doesn't get better / you get in the swing of things until youve been there a year and then you finally feel like youve broken everything in and it all feels normal and you can feel good about your work / life balance.
LEGIT you nailed it with how I felt too during my 8month internship turned into a year things haha
I felt the same way after three years at my job. It became such a toxic environment that I stopped caring to a degree. After leaving I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
I love you so much Brookieee
I’m so happy you’re happy, that’s what’s important and half way through the vlog after you made up your mind your entire mood shifts it was so noticeable and great to see :)
Haven't even finished watching and I'm already loving this...so glad you are doing what makes you happy! Transitions are always challenging, but sometimes so necessary :) Thanks for sharing with us, Brooke!
Wait with I love the Gucci loafers???? So easy so trendy.
Gianna Cilluffo yes and also they would go great with the striped pants 🙌🏻
same, idk why people hate them ?¿?¿
I love your vlogs so much, you have some of the best content on TH-cam! ❤️
absolutely love how transparent you are brooke
The JOY and relief that came over you when you decided to quit. Literally brought tears to my eyes 😭 love you so much Brooke, so proud!
I work in sales at a large fortune 15 company. I love watching your videos because I can relate to the sales life and mental health that comes with it. I'm glad you are going to do something that you love full time!!!
YESSS SEND IT!! Dude I’m so proud of you for choosing your happiness over anything. I can’t wait to watch you thrive these next few months and I can’t wait to support whatever you take on next ❤️
So excited for this next step in your life Brooke you deserve it ❤️
so proud of you for doing what is best for you!! You are so inspiring!
We all support you so much in pursuing what makes you feel the best-- so, so proud of you for making the hard choice and thrilled to see where you can go next! I've graduated in 2018 and honestly I'm so glad I didn't jump right into a full time job it was the most transforming time of my life and I can't wait for you to have that time as well. You're also a bad ass business woman so like, you'll be fine, bb!
Watched to the end! And also I love how honest you are and its key to do what makes you happy! Very inspiring
Made it all the way to the end! You got this girl! Just go in and get it done - you will feel so much better when it is done!
Excuse me!! From the absolute QUEEN of work-week in my life content, I am HONORED 🙈 Also so so proud of you for following your heart. You're going to kill it no matter where life takes you, lady 💗✨
Your work outfit at 33 mins is sooo flattering on you! I love it! Im glad you're doing what is best for you! If you are in a position to quit a job that you don't like why wouldn't you? I am sure a lot of people will judge you, but just remember it's your life and you can do whatever the hell you want.
I had a similar job like yours and I would literally cry on Sunday’s because I would hate that I had to go to work. I totally understand you and needing a change! Girl do what makes you happy !!!! You’re going to notice a glow and a effortless joy. I am so happy that you are quitting because I noticed how unhappy you looked. Sending great energy your way
Congratulations on making such and important decision! Excited for all of the positive changes you’re making for YOU! Loving the long vlogs!
Thank you so much for posting this. I graduated in May as well and I just get this video, and you and your decision soo much. Post grad is confusing and hard. Thanks for being real ✨✨
Julia Elizabeth this 🙌🏼

mental health is so important, thank you for being so open about it and how normal/real it is!
Brooke, I’m so happy for you!! Cheers to you for doing what’s best for you!
It's better to say at least I tried versus I wish I had. So I'm so happy for you to see your are working towards happy
Keep the comments kind and positive! Everyone has a different path in life and I’m proud of Brooke for being strong and making the decision that is best for her! ❤️ So excited to see where life takes you Brooke!

so happy for another vlog! love love your videos, I've been waiting
That is so me!i always have to remind myself that I put the candle out like 5 times a day lol
I wish I could live you life! I’m so proud of your for getting out of corporate. It is very draining. I live 45 min from West Chester. It’ll be so nice to get away at times! Have a great first week with no job!
so so proud of you for going for what you love!! wishing you the best of luck in your new adventure! you got this!
You have a whole support team here, you do what makes you happy Brooke, and what serves you, and we will all be here cheering you on💕 I’m so happy for you! 😇
I love the slide on loafers! And they are great for work like there are cute and professional looking and still very comfy and casual
I knew you were going to gain more subscribers cause I myself have been enjoying and recommending your channel especially lately for your openness and authenticity and not being fake positive and having breakdown like we ALL do ❤
Loved every minute of this vlog. So proud of you!! Go for your dreams and there is no limit to your success! Can’t wait to see all that’s in store for you. Congrats!!!!
Dropped everything to watch this rn! Full support for you girl, you gotta take care of your mental health first!! Love you Brooke 💕
Hi Brooke, I know you’re scared to open up about decisions you make maybe in fear of judgement, but just remember how much we all support you! Don’t let the voices from just a few haters discourage you, we all support and trust your decisions!!
Your mental health comes first.... I’ve had to learn that recently as well and I can totally 100% relate to this! You NEED to do what’s best for YOU! ❤️
Okay, wow- favorite video you have ever posted. Already you seem so much happier and I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings! You’re doing what’s right for YOU and YOUR life and that’s so damn inspiring and amazing! You’re gonna kill it and do great things.
Brooke, I'm sincerely soooo proud of you! I have been watching you for like 3 years and now and I can't believe how many accomplishments you have done in your life. Seeing you be so happy after knowing that you will be unemployed soon literally made my day. Tbh whenever you had those sucky mental breakdowns I personally felt so bad because I have seen the better Brooke, and that you deserve so much more. I just can not wait for the blessing that life gives you in the next chapter of your life! love ya Brooke!
So proud of you for being able to “pull the plug” i honestly wouldnt have the balls😂 haha but your mental health is sooooo fricken important, you deserve to be happy. Also, i made it to the end.... of course.! I’m just glad your happy💘
The level of involvement I feel in your life is concerning and a bit embarrassing but I am SOOOOO happy for you! YGG! Can’t wait to see your future week in my life vlogs!!!! Woooo!
WOOO! So excited for you 💗 I loved how you transitioned your videos from school to work and I can’t wait to see this next transition!!
Made it to the end! So so happy for you Brooke. I've been following you since you were in high school, and love how open and transparent you are to us. Thanks for being such a good example and doing what makes you happy. We will always support you!
You’re super lucky that you can quit your job! I’m 23 and working full time and it’s really hard🥺
A lot of people have these problems and have to work through it. Your lucky you have the financial backing to pursue what you want. I wouldn’t put on your future resume working for current employer just because it was so short. Companies don’t like to see that.
so excited for this new chapter of your life! always listen to what your heart and head is telling you!
The more of this vlog I watch, the more and more excited I get for you, Brooke! Sending all of the happy and good vibes your way, my girl!
Brooke don’t feel like you are alone in having emotional breakdowns…we are the same age n i graduated in May too n i often feel like i do not belong in my job but i just remind myself we do not have to have everything figured out because like you said we r only 22. I think our generation had such high expectations for post grad life and that it was going to be so amazing but unfortunately those expectations did not match up so we r all having emotional breakdowns n r unwell lol
ilovemakeupforeveful oh for sure I have them weekly at least 😂
THIS!!
you literally nailed it...Im 22 as well and Im trying to create my own brand/blog and I often forget I am ONLY 22 were so young we have so much time to figure it out...even though no one really has it figured out :)
there is no such thing as pressure. Its just a thought your life if up to you, Im graduating uni in the spring and I am honestly not worried about getting a "real" job. Life is what is is, life is about doing whatever you want. There is no such thing as pressure. its just us putting it on ourselves
totally agree! just graduated, 22, and in my first job which I had to move out for and I'm paying all my own bills and whatnot and its such a hard transition, especially when you know you aren't working your "dream job." But im hopeful that I will figure it out soon and be able to eventually not have to work a 9 to 5!
You already know I made it to the end and heres the tea:
1.Who is hating on them Gucci loafers???
2. Proud of you for sticking up for yourself and your awareness of your mental health!!!
3. You are already glowing and seem so much happier since making the decision to quit and I am just so happy for you!! Can't wait to see what's next for ya.
So happy you took the leap of faith!!! Can’t wait for more vlogs 💗
Choosing yourself if sometimes so tricky and I am so proud of you for focusing on you and chasing YOUR dreams and YOUR goals! 💕
Girl, you rock those loafers!!!! I hated loafers until I stumbled upon your channel. Now I am on the hunt for a cute pair! Love your videos!
I found your channel about a month ago through an 8-5 job morning routine!! I’ve been hooked since, you are so calm and down to earth and I relate more with adult content as I am 38 working 8-5, in Healthcare! No matter what choices you make regarding work I will be here to follow your journey! You are a beautiful young woman and deserve the best! Much love from Southern MN
so excited for you and this new chapter of your life!!! can’t wait to see you so much happier again✨
Damn you Marie Kondo’d your job I LOVE that
almost an hour long vlog? Love your vlogs so much! xx
We made it to the end!! And enjoyed every minute! So happy for what’s next for you, gotta follow your heart gal!
Made it to the end🤪 so happy for you that you’re putting yourself before anything else. You deserve the absolute best💗💗
That crunch when you bite into your avo toast lol ~aSmR baby~ 🤪
"You're gonna want to watch the next one because that will be the one where I quit my job" LOL Here for it!
love the long vlogs so much. (10 min and I’m so happy)
I love you so much Brooke! You’re mental health is waaaaaay more important than keeping a job that isn’t for you! So excited to see what your next chapter will be!!!! Love your vlogs! 💗
I think it’s so amazing that your making the decision to quit. I worked my first job out of school for two years because it was a “good job” and my parents said having two years on your resume with that company will help me in my next job search. Between that job and my next job I took a year off from the 9-5 doing freelance work and a couple shifts at a restaurant a week and was so much happier not sitting in a office doing the same thing over and over. I also realized I really wanted to work for a smaller company where you’re not a number like you are in corporate. We grow up with our families and education institutions all telling us that once we graduate college we immediately need to get a 9-5 and have a safe career path but I think millennials are changing that! I’m hoping to start a company down the line once I gain some more experience and build up a financial safety net. Good luck Brooke!❤️
Brooke is the vlogging queen from youtube
