OMG, I just realized the video was cut off in the end somehow. I'm sorry. My ending statement was that I know someone out there can relate to this rant. If so, drop a comment below.
You deserve all the wins that you already have and other is coming. 4k subscribers it’s peoples believing in you. Keep your magic and like the Bible said “do not be afraid”. God bless you
As someone who started over many, many times, even in my 30s, and now being 35... Who cares what you're supposed to be doing? Your best move doesn't have to be now, it can come later. What needs to come now is just acceptance and moving on. My best job I had to throw away because of a traumatic event within my family and I had to be there to help pick up slack, throwing away not just my career, but even my lifestyle and having to move back to a place I worked so hard to move away from in the first place. It had been 10 years since I left, but I had to return. I had to be there, I could have chosen to be the shithead and continue on, but I couldn't do that. Through making the best out of a completely awful situation, I was able to buy a house where I want to be more than any place, and I am quite lucky for that, but... I don't know, I sometimes think I wish I was grinding like I was as a welder for companies forcing me to take way too much overtime, but on the other hand... I don't have rent nor a mortgage and I sell auto parts for $15 an hour and I'm quite content. And yes, I'm tootin' my own horn here, I am a damn good welder. Now I'm setting up my own, personal shop to do what I want and say "NO" to jobs with it all I want. I love welding, I traded my passion for a pittance for almost too lung, but now I can get back to it and have fun with it again. I'm never stepping foot on a factory floor again. Good luck. Work for yourself, it can be a struggle, but it's not like we weren't struggling before. Now that struggle directly correlates with your success!
I appreciate you comment and it honestly made me feel less shame about potentially loving home and starting over . You’re right… who cares? It’s my life! This is a temporary situation. I can always move back to Mexico once I’m in a better place financially. Thank you for taking time to share your story and give me valuable advice .
I think you apart of the forefront of what is a growing movement. "Counter culture" and 'anti-corp life". Its a rocky road but Your example and transparency with help many including myself. Continue to stay mentally strong. Thank you for sharing. That person that you seek to be along wit the ideal situation already exist.
I’m just here to remind you that you are currently living the life you’ve always/continue to dream of. I’ve watched you over the years and there were plenty of times where you were at this same place of uncertainty and fear but you’ve always made a change and those changes have always been the right choice. It’s happened because you have chosen to take control every. single. time. It is who you are! You have always been the master of your destiny and time is no different. The tragedy about life is most of us will only see our own greatness in hindsight.
I’m 50 married with two adult kids who both now live on their own. I got laid off 1/2022 I didn’t find another job until 9/2022. I was there for 6 months to find out they are outsourcing our positions and same day was our last day that was 3/2023. I haven’t found a new job and I have no idea what my future looks like. Financially I need to work but the market is slow right now. The worst thing is to have too much time to think about what if. But I surrendered to the Universe and trust as always it will all work out in my favor. All the best to you.
I was laid off 18 months ago. My unemployment ran out a few months ago. I have a part time, soul-sucking, deadend job. Thank you for posting. We will keep eachother in prayer.
Girl I just made a video like this on my phone yesterday😂 Just so I can have something documented for myself to show my future self how far I’ve come. I just turned 36 and I have been working on this goal of mine with traveling for the past two years. I finally said it’s time to put in the work and make my vision a reality. I’m not playing small anymore. I was able to accomplish my first goal when I was in this same headspace and went on my first solo trip. Changed my life. So that accomplishment just shows me the next step in my goal is there waiting for me to achieve it. If you want to do content creation full time then go for it! Those rejection letters are your blessing. Do what feels right in your heart. I just subscribed and excited to see your journey🫶🏾
I need to do the same. I really want to document this chapter of my life. It feels so pivotal. I want to look back and smile at the fact that I did everything I said I would. You got this. We got this. Let's get it!
I feel you...I'm almost 42 and I still don't have it together...I've never felt like I did, tho others might look at me and think otherwise. It is scary. And I don't totally know what I want...learning who I am (now that life has changed - my 1 and only kiddo is in college)...figuring out who I want to be...All I know is I want to leave the U.S. But yeah girl, I feel you.
I felt the same way at your age. Ten, twenty years from now you'll 😄. Life can throw you curve balls at any age, just when you think you have it all together. All we can do is roll with it, take action then hand it to God.
This is so transparent. I am a 30 something who is trying to figure out what’s next. I resonate so much with what you’re saying. You have the perfect name for your channel. Own your light and let it make room for you. Wishing you the best! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Girl I needed this video right now, thank you so much for posting! I so relate to being 34 and not having your shit together even though everyone expects you to, having things seem like they're falling apart and not finding the will or the want to stress over it, being sick of working for someone else who treats you inhumanely, OH MY GOD THE BARTENDING COMMENTS I NEVER WANT TO BARTEND AGAIN PLEASE!!, and all of that threatening the progress you've made for yourself... I relate to everything so so so much. I've been thinking lately that I can't grow without people on the same level and thinking as me, so I'm really happy to have found you and subscribed right away.
Wow, wow, wow. I'm so happy you could relate. I literally never want to bartend again, and I don't know why my friends keep suggesting it. I'm so sick of working for these corporations that don't care about us. I'm tire of being used. There has got to be a better way. I will be sharing my journey. Thank you so much for watching.
I say go for it. When I watch you, all I see and hear are assets. You are the epitome of a lifestyle channel. You have a unique look (beauty brands and fashion houses await), you are in great shape (I for one have been waiting for you to share your exercise tips), former bartender???(sharing a drink of the week or month...might be nice), you have fun when you travel and host (the way you hosted your Mom was so thoughtful), you successfully left your home country and started a new life (coaching calls for those who desire to do the same...seems useful). I can go on and on. Most importantly, you have a fun and positive attitude. Shine on ❤☀
I resonate with this so much…… During Covid I got laid off from a job in the army. That’s something I never thought would happen. So I went and got my CDL. When I tell you I’ve been miserable and still trying to figure it out at 32. I decided buy a trailer so that way at least I’ll always still have a house. Plus, if I wanna move out the country, I can take my house with me. God is really helped me through all these low moments. He is my security.
I feel the same and I’m turning 24 next week 😭 I came to Mexico in January and my goal is to be a travel content creator but I’ve also been applying for jobs back home in the UK and I’ve been getting rejected daily😂😂😂. I freelance as an English Teacher but it’s very boring and the money isn’t great
Another 30-something here 👋🏽 standing in solidarity with you. I lived in Mazatlan for 1.5 years and returned to America in January. The soul sucking hustle culture and cann1balizing capitalism is so heavy. Stay there and protect your peace!
I'm 34 and kind of started over last year. After graduating college , I worked all kinds of sad jobs from call centers to warehouses and still do freelance photography. But if I could sum up my life between age 23 and going back to school at 30 I would say UNSTABLE...financially/socially/mentally/spiritually/emotionally. All 5. All 5. Now I have a real job at an architecture firm and a normal schedule and predictable income finally. I also stopped two addictions last year that I've battled since age 16. So I feel 34 for me is like a very, very slow personal renaissance. I look back alot and wonder why I couldn't just be normal and imagine where I would be now if I would have at least stayed with with major I work in now after a 10 yr gap. I reflect alot on my role in the demise of so many relationships with others. I reflect alot on my relationship with The Lord and where I stand with Him. At this age, I reflect alot on what it means to be an adult more so than ever. My 20's was like a long extension of my teens. And yes, I heard that sound in the background. They are selling household appliances from the back of a truck there in Mexico!
First, thank you for commenting and for sharing your story with me. I resonate with it so much. I often think about my role in why I'm not where I want to be. I, too, would describe my twenties as an extension of my teens. I felt unstable for a while until my previous job, tbh. It was the first time I felt like I was adulting properly. When I was starting to get comfortable... I get laid off, and I'm back to feeling unstable. It's time to make a way for myself and go all in. No more distractions.
I can relate. Let go of what others think you should be doing. Let the universe fulfill you. I am turning 50 and never thought I'd be looking for a job at this age. AI and computers are the new wave. All jobs in these two sectors are secure. Even medical jobs, where I am from, is becoming sketchy. I'm a couple months on leaving and going to Mexico city. I applaud you on living and not focusing on the american rat race. It's scary but you got this even if you feel you don't. (sorry for long text)
Just do something else in the meantime work on a cruise ship. or airlines as flight attendant or cruise director you are beautiful and you speak well!!
And as far as prayer...just talk to God the same way you're sitting here talking to us...Even if you're just thinking out loud (talking to yourself/having an inner dialogue)...or journaling...Any of that can be how you converse with God. It doesn't have to look like STOP, KNEEL, SET ASIDE X AMOUNT OF TIME. How you commune isn't as important as just communing. I feel God when I'm just standing outside with my face to the sun, my eyes closed, just still. And I struggle with prayer as well, in the way it's been taught that it has to look or sound a specific way. I found my own way. I sing and that's how God and I communicate. I stand quiet in the sun or listen to waves and that's how we communicate. The list goes on. Do what YOU need to do in the ways He's gifted you to connect with Him if that's what you desire. ❤

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you really have a great soul, praying that your new journey of being SE is an abundant one !
I appreciate this so much🤎

WOW wow. Thank you so much. All amazing ideas. I appreciate this comment so much.
Interesting and instructive interview.
You are resilient and everything will work out! I’m starting to pour into myself too!
Amen. Thank you
You’re not alone!! I feel exactly this way, in this season! But you’re right! Look at the data! Everything always works out for you!

I'm leaning into my faith as well. It's literally the only thing keeping me afloat.
This is me currently! my story is very similar to yours, and I am at a real turning point in my life as well.
I feel the same and I’m turning 24 next week 😭 I came to Mexico in January and my goal is to be a travel content creator but I’ve also been applying for jobs back home in the UK and I’ve been getting rejected daily😂😂😂. I freelance as an English Teacher but it’s very boring and the money isn’t great

Blessings to you! God only exists in the NOW. Ignore those future and past thoughts. Focus on the now and trust God. Love you!
