It’s pretty obvious to me that you’re a successful TH-camr. You put a lot of effort into your videos and you grew much quicker than most people. I 1000% think you’ll surpass 100,000 subscribers in the next couple years. You give real, raw advice incorporating your own experiences, that’s very valuable. Personally I’d love to see more vlogs or even a separate vlog channel.
Just found your channel recently and I absolutely love how honest you are. I even shared a video with my mom and she texted back, “she’s one of my favorites.” I guess I am late to the party! 😂
Girl you are so honest i cant tell you how much I appreciate that. Youre not out here with smoke and mirrors youre out here walking the walk and talking the talk. Im so glad your sisters came to help you and look how well youre doing now! I just cant be more grateful to have found you. 2025 is going to be a good year 🙌🏻❤
Your videos and vulnerability are honestly speaking to me on a deep level. I am in such a deep place of shame with my debt and have nobody that I feel comfortable speaking to about it in my personal life. I do have a therapist, but that truthfully only goes so far. To hear from someone who was/is in the same place as me is so huge. Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am in a place where I am ready to change (even canceling vacations I have planned because I convinced myself they were “for me,” but know deep down they were to feel like I was keeping up with others.)
The first one really rings true to me. I’ve had a couple friends over the years who were like you, just objectively gorgeous. They still struggled with their self esteem. It was a lightbulb moment for me to realize that even naturally beautiful, genetic lottery winners like you have the same issues. Comparison is the opposite of contentedness. I’m 45 now and just don’t compare myself to others anymore in any realm. I’m much happier.
There are few things you can buy that you will give an f about in 10 days. I'm always donating things that I thought I needed/wanted, some are not even opened after several years.
Great video. Give yourself some grace, we all have made financial mistakes. Be thankful that you are still young enough and making money to get back on track. Look at how much you have learned by going through this, you are so informative and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I don't even know you and I'm proud of you LOL.
I’ve been following along and even though I’m on the opposite spectrum of what you share about finances, your content has been SO inspiring and helpful to teach me and understand the mindset you share. It is really difficult to take ownership and responsibility for some of these topics you discuss (self awareness in your low self esteem, shopping addiction, etc) and I think it’s really helpful how you share so calmly and so straight-shooting. Look forward to seeing how you continue to inspire and grow! ❤
OMg please don't stop making videos these are so good, Ill have to rewatch it to write some of these down you are so right it all comes from out insecurities thats the antidote to fight self sabotage in all aspects of our lives great video
LOVE seeing your progression in each video. I had a similar time in my early 20s.. used to be completely focused on my appearance and always having the best clothes, hair, makeup etc. I think for me the game changer was traveling to a remote and very poor area in Nicaragua.. it changed my mindset on what is important in life and I felt incredibly grateful just to have clean water and a roof over my head. Somehow looking perfect was no longer even on my radar. Now I just try to spend money on experiences instead of things. I would say travel is my one indulgence a couple times per year. Anyway, just wanted to say your videos are amazing and you're becoming a role model to other women.❤
I’m so glad I found your channel this summer. I swear, every video you post is so relatable. I feel like I’m listening to things about myself. Your vulnerability is inspiring.
Seeking external validation, in whatever form, is a harsh wake up call. I hope you find Peace and relief in opening that door. I found that taking that even a step further inward is where the root of that behavior stems. Bc all behavior is an attempt to get a need met. You are on the right path! Keep it up 👌🏼❤🙏🏼 And yes, you are the boss of your thoughts! Great awareness!
And 98% of what we think is simply a habit. Next time you find your brain having ‘dark thoughts,’ tell yourself this is just a habit that you have repeated prob many times in the past and that today is the day you change this pattern. And since you are the boss of your thoughts, you are free to ‘change the channel’ in your mind and focus on something else! You have the remote to that brain tv…USE IT!!
I love your videos and you content. Super transparent and informative. I know this channel is about saving money and budgeting, etc. however i wanted to ask if you would recommend the love bracelets/ would you purchase them again if you could? Many thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Into this video about 3-1/2 minutes and already you are helping me to change my life. Thank you so so much for these videos! I appreciate all you do :)
@@dbalemonI transferred my love of clothes and shoes to decorating my home and fixing things that could’ve waited. And treating/helping people who didn’t deserve it tbh.
I'd add to the first one: Don't try to cosplay as some that you aren't. E.g. if others drive fancy new cars but it's "computer says no" when you run the numbers, then it's not working. Get a cheaper one, keep it longer, etc. Edit: Around minute five, I wouldn't go as far as "special meaning", but I got my road bike ten years ago, my current car nine years ago and I'm writing this on a Mac mini "late 2012". Ok, I' didn't gat any of that in a shopping mall, but there might be shops for computers and cameras.
For me shopping is a cure for boredom. I’m bored in my job and men are disappointing in dating. I’m not addicted to substances or eating so that’s how I justify up my shopping addiction 😂 idk adulting is just so boring

OMG the dog. ❤
😅
The chat was good, but THE DOG! ❤

You’re incredible, thank you 💛
Your dog kinda stole the show around point number 3, but this entire video hammers the nail on the head 🙌🏻
Lol he sure did.
Girl the ‘wildlife’ show your fur babies put on is hilarious. I love animals too ❤

I know it's not the point, but you look like you've glowed up since your first video. Financial peace of mind agrees with you!
So true, "self-talk" and negative thoughts can really skew my behavior. It's also not easy if people around you are the same
I love your videos! Let’s all be nicer to ourselves in 2025. ❤

Very true. I’ve wasted so much time and money on useless stuff.
The way I squeal when your videos show up!
Thank you! Hope you had a great holiday 😊 💛
Same!
Same!

Best channel on TH-cam!! Seriously!
The world is a MUCH better place, with you in it! 🙂 Thank you for this video.
I'm so sorry that you felt so bad 😢 I'm so happy for you that things are looking up! You deserve to be happy and healthy, just like everyone else 😊
Thank you 😊💛

Great video! I am following you on your journey! Your insights are awesome!
You gotta have a BREAKDOWN in order to have that BREAKTHROUGH!! Hang in there!!!

@terrahillman151 I like that, it takes the heaviness out of trying
Number 1 is the one that gets all of us
Your nervous system determines your thoughts. I recommend starting by regulating your nervous system
The big question is, how do you regulate your nervous system? I’d probably say through mindfulness but it’s a very broad goal.
@@dbalemonit’s a journey. One baby step towards that at a time! But it is life-changing when you get there! Yal keep it up!!
The power of now by Eckhart Toll is a great book about observing your thoughts. I listened to it on YT for free
Beautiful beautiful girl!!! I so hate that you do not see your beauty inside and out!
Well, your channel is growing and TH-cam is noticing because you have lots more commercials now. And I'm watching them all for ya. :-)

Comparison is the thief of joy.
Truer words have never been said
A key thing is to not replace the shopping, makeup, or gym membership with other addictions to make yourself feel better.
Very true. It’s easy to do and hard to notice. I found my coffee addiction picked up when I removed other ways I used to get a dopamine hit.

Oh man boredom never leads to anything good. In the past I’ve done a lot of shopping and wasted a tone of money due to boredom.
Ask yourself where that negative voice comes from. It’s usually not your own, it was put there by someone else.
Did you stop the botox and fillers or budget for them? That's been a hard thing for me to stop.
Inspiring. I cried with you here.
🖤
