Not only are you improving your mental health by having someone deep clean your house, you are providing employment for someone else, which is generous to both you and that person.
The timing of this is impeccable. I recently realized I have been burnt out for the past couple of years but due to me being highly functioning and performing, I had no idea.
I will still be here if you take a year off ❤️ will always come back for Amy. You will always be relevant in my life. I’ll probably be 70 years old telling my grandchildren the things you taught me on this channel
My heart aches for you my sincere Aquarius, take a break. Take two months off, we’ll still be here to support and nurture you when you return. ❤️ You’ve been doing a lot of heavy lifting, and your ascension is evident; we are all growing higher because of it. Thank you for all you do and for raising the vibration of our community💐
As someone who craved validation in a tangible way when I was younger like good grades and awards I feel like social media appeals to people like that because real life doesn’t give you a tangible indicator of performance or success. It’s so easy to get burnt out when you are constantly chasing the next goal though.
This resonates a lot with me, we’re in a similar position in that we’re the main product of our work, we ”sell ourselves”. I’m a freelancing fashion designer and it’s INCREDIBLY difficult not to put my self worth into what I make, and as you say: feel like I’m not selling my soul in the process. I’m so tired, and I feel cheated by the capitalist system everyday. All I want is to do good but that’s not even valued most of the time like profit is. ALSO: the red haiiirrrr😫😍
I realize I was burnt out when I was crying because I could not get time off work. I been working non stop since I graduated college in 2017 with no vacation besides Christmas because my jobs do not offer vacation and I cannot not afford not to work.. hopefully eventually I get to a place where I do not have to work so much to make ends meat
consider working abroad. work life balance in the US is trash. (if you live in the states) I’m a child of immigrant parents and one thing my mom said will always stay with me, she told me to widen my horizons and not work here because life will be repetitive and you will be slaving away trying to make ends meet. this is why as soon as I finish my degree I don’t plan to stay in north America. I’m sending you all my love and good wishes. I pray your resume ends up in the hands of the right employers who will help you further your career and who will be graceful, kind, and generous with you. speaking it into existence!! < 333
Sending you lots of love, Amy. I am a 23 year old who felt super burned out after being a top student in high school, college, and then applying and getting into medical school. I refused to acknowledge how burned out I was, and it took a big hit on my mental health senior year of college. Taking a gap year before pursuing grad school gave me the time to rest, reflect, and reconnect with my life. Amy, you have been a source of light and inspiration for many people. You are so real and raw, and I'm so grateful to have found you. You deserve some good ol' soul-enriching rest.
crying throughout as i feel so validated & SEEN & SAFE ... everything you discussed has been in my mind on repeat (on emotional burnout, imposter syndrome, giving too much love, being a woman in a man’s world, etc.) love u for all that u are 🥰😭✨
"Having to be relevant for the rest of your life is no way to live" UGH I feel this so hard. Thank you Amy for being YOU and for your beautiful reminders
My dream Job has always been teaching but that doesn’t mean I haven’t cried my eyes out in the teacher restroom during lunch. Even the things we love and are grateful for can be hard ❤️
I don’t know about other people but you are literally the most comforting person I found on TH-cam your content is not like a third person thing anymore I feel like your friend and someone who cares about you. I see you in a warm light I don’t think I will get bored just because give do makeup and talk I could literally watch you do that for hours. It’s that relaxing and helpful for me. I just wish whatever you are feeling will find it’s place soon and it will be just be. Sending you a very very hopeful mornings and a good nights of rest. You find your peace Amy we will still be here.And you are amazing so very amazing.
Amy saying that her doing make up and talking to camera is getting old but those and living alone diaries are my favorite type of videos. P.S love you and God bless you ♡
It’s crazy how I live a different life from you but experience the same burn out and the imposter syndrome. Thank you for sharing this video by I needed someone to relate to!
So refreshing to see a content creator being so honest and vulnerable with her community! Because of your videos I’ve learned to be more kinder and compassionate towards myself and take things slowly at a time. I could honestly say this video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. As you’ve mentioned in your video yes, it’s important for you to take a break when needed and truly listen to your body when it needs a break. Thank you Amy ♥️
Planning to incorporate “work softer” into my intentions and to be more in tune with my mind, body and soul. Mind: To create space for your thoughts and to sit with your ideas. To know you can be emotionally receptive and open while still being a boss. Body: To truly love yourself, to be kind and to be compassionate with yourself. Soul: To learn what motivates you, to listen to yourself, and to reflect on the shoulders you stand on. Hoping that by practicing these intentions, that it will drive me to seek more transformative experiences and live a more sustainable life full of abundance. Listening to you talk is so calming and so real. We are all just souls in vessels on our own healing journeys. Burn out is real and even though I’m a new listener, you’re such a light and we want you here for a long time. 🤗 Thanks for making our days a little brighter.
aww..amyyyy. we understand, i am taking a social media break as well and the same i am just wanting to disappear for awhile. i just want to get in touch with myself, felt like i’ve lost it. as always, i rewatch your videos and it always makes me feel somewhat understood, you have created a safe community for us here. so please take your time and take of yourself as well 🌱
“We don’t need to work harder, but softer” that entire graphic and this whole video is so spot on 🥺 Thank you for taking the time to share and making me cry too 🥲✨❤️
Yes! Thanks for capturing the guilt, appreciation, and breaking of the cycle that we (children of immigrants) experience in America. The guilt of actually experiencing that “better life” but embodying those frugal ideas from our parents. It’s a hard line to balance.
I started to tear up when you brought up how you’re standing on the shoulders of your fellow Mothers and Korean immigrants. I haven’t seen content that resonates with me on this deep, soul level in such a long time. Thank you for teaching us to work soft, Amy. I truly feel like your content is going to change as you’re going through this realignment. Can’t wait to see how your authenticity will keep coming through 🥰
At the end of last month I just had to take a break from social media because I realized I would use creating + scrolling for hours as a crutch so I didn’t have to actually live my daily life. It really helped me recenter and figure out what I want to do right now. I hope your break is v healing and restful!! We love youuu 🤎
I love you Amy so much. I realized that whenever I feel down and not wanna watch anything or feel like doing anything, I just open your videos and cry while you talk. I think it is because you resonate with me and you just touch my heart, I feel like talking with a good friend of mine and you just make me feel less lonely, you make me feel that my emotions are valid no matter what... I don't think I can fully express myself right now because I got emotional but I just wanted to put it out there and thank you for everything
Amy your videos help me so much. I appreciate your honesty and transparency! It’s like you’re saying the exact feelings I am feeling but can’t put into words! I wish you nothing but happiness and peace 💕💕💕
This is so important!! Like literally i dont think I ever heard anyone talk about this, I mean bringing the DF into the workplace, and bringing in the soul, compassion, slowness and everything.. because I always doubted that to be succesfull and have lets say money, you have to throw everything else including your human nature out the window, let's change it, seriously.. thank you for this and I hope this meltdown/burn out period that you have is just there to show you that you can do better in your own way and people can follow you! thanks!
Thank you Amy, I really needed this. I’ve been feeling so burnt out with working full time and being a mentor. It’s hard to always give. I hope you prioritize your healing and wellness ❤️
everything you said really resonates with me and cannot be seen as separate from this colonial/capitalist society we live in that forces us to value ourselves only through the lens of productivity and profit. I find engaging with community led mutual aid projects and initiatives helps me when i'm feeling burnt out and disconnected. They remind me that what's important is our community living in abundance and thriving, and working towards a society where we can all access this is what matters.
also if you haven't read Sister Outsider yet, I highly recommend!! Your note about 'girl boss' recycling toxic masculine ideas and perpetuating the misogyny it strives to challenge relates well to the chapter: The Masters Tools Will Never Dismantle the Masters House
i really identify with you. i'm korean/white american and my mom reminds me of your mom. i got emo too about the ancestors and Maya Angelou quote phew!! take time for yourself girl, so you can come back feeling better and more in line w/ your highest self. lots of love
Amy I send you much love, thank you for being honest about your state of being. You have been continuesly growing and sharing it on multiple platforms. It's ok to take a time out and keep some things for yourself ❤️ I sincerely wish for you to be able to recharge and fill yourself with things you enjoy doing.
You deserve to take breaks sis :) don’t be too hard on yourself or beat yourself up too much . Seriously this life definitely throws you lemons it’s part of growing and healing and taking care of yourself and as you grow older the wiser you get the more you want to live a life of meaning and purpose ❤️ there’s this quote I love to share -everyones journey is different but no one is destined to fail . You are on the right path . Rooting for you beautiful soul 🙏🏻❤️🥺
Ive been following your healing journey for quite some time now (like since vagabond youth days) and i just think you are growing so beautifully and it so amazing to see you give your self this much self love and compassion!! You deserve a break and should follow your passion and see where it takes you. Trust your intuition-if this feels right, follow that feeling! Thank you for everything, I really feel like ive started digger wayyyyy deeper into my self and consciousness since starting to watch your videos. YYG🧖🏼♀️🧖🏼♀️🧖🏼♀️
i honestly really needed this video. i've been struggling with burnout myself and have kinda felt alone during this process but hearing you talk about your self-analysis is really inspiring for me to do a lot more self reflection. also I'm a manifesting generator as well, hope you continue to take care of yourself amy
I have been subscribed to your channel for probably like 8 years now and i am not going anywhere! Sending you much love and i thank you for all the good you’re doing for all of us. You have helped me immensely on my journey to rediscovering and reconnecting with myself and i am forever grateful for that. Do what is best for you now and know that we are here for you the same way you’ve been here for us for such a long time 💜✨💛🙏🏻
Amy, thank you for this. This resonates deeply. Thank you for sharing, thank you for opening up. Sending you restful energy, sending myself restful energy. 💖
I cried yesterday, because for the first time I work with people (mostly women) that respect me, my feelings and are seeing me as a human, not just a worker🥺 they always say I don't have to apologize for anything, encourage me to speak up, ask gently and also say it is okay if I say "no" to a project if I'm feeling like I would overwork myself - they're showing me that a corporate job doesn't mean to burn out for the company.
Thank you for just being you and for always checking in with yourself which is the most important aspect. Thank your sincerity, that’s what truly makes me connect with you and I feel truly understood and in a space of empathy when I listen to your content! Thank you for all 🍃
I just want to say that, I keep coming back to your channel and insta and content even when you are not active because of the impression and personality you bring to your audience!
Amy it’s never getting old, that’s what makes you unique and if you feel like Tik tok is putting pressure don’t even go there girl, really seriously. You have such a strong energy and so much to tell us and kinda guide us so... omg I just wish I could do a voice note for my reflection about this video. Which I am grateful for don’t overthink
amyyyy first of all thank you for being so authentic, second of all it's NEVER boring to see you no matter what you're doing and lastly... you deserve everything, you deserve rest and we'll stay here with u because this connection we share is about sO much more than short-living social media algorithms and likes and popularity. YOU are so much more than that! thank you for everything Amy, for everything. ♡
I am so burned out too. Agree with everything you said. I’m so happy for you that you are able to pay for the help you need. I wish I could do that too. I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️❤️
listening to you to be vulnerable and open is incredible we will support you to take a break ❤️ You taught me a lot through the journey your videos literally saved my life and soul 😭
Emotional Projector, Life Path 9, Gemini Rising, Taurus Sun, Sagittarius moon: ) you inspire me so much 💗💗 Feeling burnt out from putting expectations on myself to function like those surrounding me and be emotionally available whilst going to school, trialing medications and coming to terms with my Neurodiversity. Learning to slow down and do one thing at a time, taking it moment by moment and allowing myself to reconnect with my soul, heart and senses. I know younger me would have adored hearing your wise and warm heart. Rest is a powerful part of creation.We are human beings not human doings
To help the rest, help yourself first!! You are the most important person in your life, amy! We love watching your videos when you talk because it's you
It's because you're such a kind and compassionate person yourself, Amy. You just attract the same kinds of people. There's no room here for toxicity in this community, what-so-ever.
Hey Amy, you are absolutely amazing, as always. I resonate so deeply with what you have to say. I am sending you all the love and support. Take care of yourself, take a break, get some rest, you are so worthy of all the good things. I've recently been thinking that it must be so hard to stay persistent with the job you are doing. You put out so much, dear, and it is absolutely valid to feel exhausted and depleted. Please, release all you worries and anxieties about not being relevant and all this stuff. I think you are able to contribute even more by taking your time and doing things in your own pace. Love you so much. Take care!
THANK YOU for this video!! I've never related to anything more..i do OF (please no judgement anyone) and it gets so old. the posting, content creation, hundreds of messages/emails everyday, social media, doing my makeup, setting up lighting/cameras..an when i take a day off i always always feel like im losing people and not staying relevant and it causes so much stress i cant even enjoy my time off. im always thinking about the messages piling up the longer i wait and i spend hours responding to them when im online. it really is a hamster wheel with no downtime and i've always been such a spiritual person before social media but now i cant even meditate like i used to. thank you. i need to ground myself so bad and get back into breathwork and not care what people think because my time is more important than others' satisfaction.
💯 Feeling extremely burnt out from the start of the year -- with no proper vacation/rest and increasing demand at work. Also self-doubt and the impostor syndrome kicked in so bad. On top of that, the guilt, because so many lost their job. 🥵 Worse, I got really sick because of the stress. But yeah, I feel you. I'm still figuring things out how to make my situation better and hopefully this pandemic will end soon. xx
Take all the time and space you need. We understand, love and appreciate you so much. You have helped me through so much and I am so grateful for this. Thank you, Amy. You have such a beautiful soul!
I'm sorry, but I gotta leave a long comment bc there's too much to say! First of all, thank you for your sincere honesty and vulnerability. What you did to deserve this community was be yourself and work as hard as you've described - we are simply mirrors of you. 💙 I resonated with nearly everything you said. If there's anything I've learned about burnout over the last 6 months is that it catches up with you. And however long you burned out for will take even longer to recover from. I spent months last year outputting content online without even thinking twice about receiving. I hit a point like you now, where I just needed to *surrender,* take months off of social media, contain my energy, and focus on myself - only being receptive and passive, letting things come to me on their own time instead of *always* forcing, connecting to my divine feminine energy, and trusting in the process. In this time, I read a book called Mysteries of the Dark Moon by Demetra George which is entirely about the divine and repressed feminine, its history over the last 40,000 years compared to patriarchy, the lunar cycle and dark goddesses, the misperception of the dark feminine, and how we can all heal - all genders. It was written in 1992 but is incredibly relevant. It's definitely a dark material, shadow work type of book with journal questions, but it has changed my perspective on *everything.* Not exaggerating! I hope you or whoever reads this checks it out and we can collectively heal the feminine energy in this world that is so desperately needed. Bless the Goddess within all of us and let her darkness heal us no matter how painful, we are not alone 🖤
I love that you got a cleaner to help you! It's not that you can't deep clean your place but it's more that you don't need to do it yourself. I also battle with thinking I'm not good enough and I have to do everything myself. I hope you take the time you need to unwind and take a break! We all deserve a break.
Im in the exact same boat. Have immigrant parents who did everything themselves, so I always feel guilty about outsourcing anything or even spending a little more on "luxury" things that I can afford now. On one hand, its great to have a frugal mindset, on the other hand, I cant get out of the scarcity mindset. I have more than I ever had, make more than I ever did and still feel like its not enough. When I was making less, I had less of a focus on my spending because it "didnt matter." But now there's so many things I have to budget for like retirement that the goal is always moving and I feel like itll never be enough.
Oh Amy, you are so harsh on yourself. And I know it, because I do it to myself as well. I am somewhere in between- I am a child, and now a grownup, who is always doing too much to make others feel good, but I am also an immigrant-mother who is paving the way for her daughter's future. So, thank you for sharing your true-self, it helps me relate better to the both sides of my story- the past and the arriving part of it. Sometimes, I feel like we just need to learn better to live in the now...
Thank you Amy, what you discussed about growing up with your moms success and her sacrifices for that role really resonated for me and has had so much to do with the way I burn myself out
Oh Amy, this is the most real, the most deep and the most beautiful I have ever seen you. Yes, you need to put your own mask on first before you can help a sister out! Get that souls rest and know that it will all work out the way it's supposed to, in its own divine time. You're on the right path, and remember it is messy in the middle but at the other side of that is liberation and a clear view. You-re a blessing to us all Amy, take good care sister 🌹💕
this timing is incredible. i've been coming to so many realizations lately and i feel the axels of my mind shifting so deeply especially when it comes to getting in touch with vulnerability, the divine feminine, etc. and i just want to thank you for creating and being!! edit: i also just relate to you so much and i want you to know that what you give is enough. just what you've done for me already and how you've helped me to grow over the past year that i've been subscribed to you is incredible i really am so grateful to have discovered you. & i hope you find peace x ok final edit!! you asked what you did to deserve this, and you existed. let me reiterate how much you've helped me! i'm a lot younger than you but i've learned so so much from you and i see myself reflected in you which is a beautiful thing. ok thank you. thank you.
thank you again for sharing amy, I always get a bit emotional watching your videos cause I really do feel like you’re talking directly to us all. please take all the time you need for looking out for yourself ❤️
The part where you spoke about giving being an energy exchange spoke to me 🥺 I am a giving person and I am so tired of giving pieces of myself to people who will gladly take but not reciprocate.
Thank you for sharing your energy on the internet. I really appreciate how vulnerable you are, and you are such an inspiration for me. Love you so much and wishing you peace, rest, and happiness 💗 Also, not sure if this needs to be said, but I will be here, subscribed and supporting, as long as you're here--doesnt matter if you take a break or anything else. Please do what is best for you and your mental/emotional/spiritual health and self.
I strongly believe that there are ways in which you can live your dreams and serve your purpose that don't require you to overwork yourself. You will find these ways I am sure. I hope you are not to hard on yourself until then. Love you and will stay here to support you no matter how much time you take off ❤❤❤
Just found out my human design type is manifesting generator too 😳 always rooting for you Amy! Please take care of yourself, your content is always so interesting and insipiring, I discovered so much about healing etc... Thanks to you! So take care and take some well deserved rest ❤️
Not only are you improving your mental health by having someone deep clean your house, you are providing employment for someone else, which is generous to both you and that person.
The timing of this is impeccable. I recently realized I have been burnt out for the past couple of years but due to me being highly functioning and performing, I had no idea.
sameee
Same for me! Wishing you good luck with your healing journey.
I will still be here if you take a year off ❤️ will always come back for Amy. You will always be relevant in my life. I’ll probably be 70 years old telling my grandchildren the things you taught me on this channel
My heart aches for you my sincere Aquarius, take a break. Take two months off, we’ll still be here to support and nurture you when you return.
❤️
You’ve been doing a lot of heavy lifting, and your ascension is evident; we are all growing higher because of it.
Thank you for all you do and for raising the vibration of our community💐

thank you for this 🥺🌷 these videos never get old
agreed! they help me discover things that i've experienced without even noticing them before.
“I want to be here for a long time, not just the fun time.” This is what it’s all about! Love you Amy and I’m rooting for you ♥️

Feeling burnt out is such a struggle and for me it takes a long time to get out of. We all deserve to take a pause and reset✨
I think it's safe to say everyone who supports you here will still be here after however long your break is, love you Amy !!
The mother has been holding us for so long. It's time for us to hold the mother within us ❤️ She's tired
it’s so amazing to know none of us are going through this alone.
crying throughout as i feel so validated & SEEN & SAFE ... everything you discussed has been in my mind on repeat (on emotional burnout, imposter syndrome, giving too much love, being a woman in a man’s world, etc.) love u for all that u are 🥰😭✨
"Having to be relevant for the rest of your life is no way to live" UGH I feel this so hard. Thank you Amy for being YOU and for your beautiful reminders
This is why I appreciate you as a creator! You’re super introspective and you talk about real stuff.
My dream Job has always been teaching but that doesn’t mean I haven’t cried my eyes out in the teacher restroom during lunch. Even the things we love and are grateful for can be hard ❤️

i am a generator, surrounded by a lot of manifestors, a few projectors, and even one reflector!!! love human design ♡
Has to pause the video midway to just say how much I love your sit down-makeup-talks, Amy! It doesn’t get boring or old for me 💗
Thank you Amy, I really needed this. I’ve been feeling so burnt out with working full time and being a mentor. It’s hard to always give. I hope you prioritize your healing and wellness ❤️

this is cool that you addressed this for your followers - the younger ones especially, who think being a 'youtuber' is easy money.
...and that you have other future plans outside of this.
Knowing when to shift is KEY! Stay in your alignments and keep following what lights you up and your people will follow you ❤️
Thank you for sending this out! I think a lot of us needed to hear this. ❤️
so proud of you for taking charge for your mental health wishing you great abundance in unconditional love and support
Amy I send you much love, thank you for being honest about your state of being. You have been continuesly growing and sharing it on multiple platforms. It's ok to take a time out and keep some things for yourself ❤️ I sincerely wish for you to be able to recharge and fill yourself with things you enjoy doing.
You deserve to take breaks sis :) don’t be too hard on yourself or beat yourself up too much . Seriously this life definitely throws you lemons it’s part of growing and healing and taking care of yourself and as you grow older the wiser you get the more you want to live a life of meaning and purpose ❤️ there’s this quote I love to share -everyones journey is different but no one is destined to fail . You are on the right path . Rooting for you beautiful soul 🙏🏻❤️🥺
Ive been following your healing journey for quite some time now (like since vagabond youth days) and i just think you are growing so beautifully and it so amazing to see you give your self this much self love and compassion!! You deserve a break and should follow your passion and see where it takes you. Trust your intuition-if this feels right, follow that feeling! Thank you for everything, I really feel like ive started digger wayyyyy deeper into my self and consciousness since starting to watch your videos. YYG🧖🏼♀️🧖🏼♀️🧖🏼♀️
If you need a break take one...I'll still be here waiting for you ❤
i honestly really needed this video. i've been struggling with burnout myself and have kinda felt alone during this process but hearing you talk about your self-analysis is really inspiring for me to do a lot more self reflection. also I'm a manifesting generator as well, hope you continue to take care of yourself amy
I have been subscribed to your channel for probably like 8 years now and i am not going anywhere! Sending you much love and i thank you for all the good you’re doing for all of us. You have helped me immensely on my journey to rediscovering and reconnecting with myself and i am forever grateful for that. Do what is best for you now and know that we are here for you the same way you’ve been here for us for such a long time 💜✨💛🙏🏻
Amy, thank you for this. This resonates deeply. Thank you for sharing, thank you for opening up. Sending you restful energy, sending myself restful energy. 💖
You have been a huge part of my personal growth, Amy. Take as long as you want I'll always be here 🥺❤❤❤❤❤
I cried yesterday, because for the first time I work with people (mostly women) that respect me, my feelings and are seeing me as a human, not just a worker🥺 they always say I don't have to apologize for anything, encourage me to speak up, ask gently and also say it is okay if I say "no" to a project if I'm feeling like I would overwork myself - they're showing me that a corporate job doesn't mean to burn out for the company.
Thank you for just being you and for always checking in with yourself which is the most important aspect. Thank your sincerity, that’s what truly makes me connect with you and I feel truly understood and in a space of empathy when I listen to your content! Thank you for all 🍃
I feel like we would absolutely support you if you want to take a break for however long, please take care
I just want to say that, I keep coming back to your channel and insta and content even when you are not active because of the impression and personality you bring to your audience!
I am a projector, reading my human design type makes SO much sense... listenting to what you have to say really connects with me.
Dear Amy, please look after yourself and take the time you need ❤️ And thank you for being honest with us, I really appreciate it :)
Amy it’s never getting old, that’s what makes you unique and if you feel like Tik tok is putting pressure don’t even go there girl, really seriously. You have such a strong energy and so much to tell us and kinda guide us so... omg I just wish I could do a voice note for my reflection about this video. Which I am grateful for don’t overthink
amyyyy first of all thank you for being so authentic, second of all it's NEVER boring to see you no matter what you're doing and lastly... you deserve everything, you deserve rest and we'll stay here with u because this connection we share is about sO much more than short-living social media algorithms and likes and popularity. YOU are so much more than that! thank you for everything Amy, for everything. ♡
I am so burned out too. Agree with everything you said. I’m so happy for you that you are able to pay for the help you need. I wish I could do that too. I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️❤️
listening to you to be vulnerable and open is incredible we will support you to take a break ❤️ You taught me a lot through the journey your videos literally saved my life and soul 😭
Emotional Projector, Life Path 9, Gemini Rising, Taurus Sun, Sagittarius moon: ) you inspire me so much 💗💗 Feeling burnt out from putting expectations on myself to function like those surrounding me and be emotionally available whilst going to school, trialing medications and coming to terms with my Neurodiversity. Learning to slow down and do one thing at a time, taking it moment by moment and allowing myself to reconnect with my soul, heart and senses. I know younger me would have adored hearing your wise and warm heart. Rest is a powerful part of creation.We are human beings not human doings
To help the rest, help yourself first!! You are the most important person in your life, amy! We love watching your videos when you talk because it's you
I hear this message so much. I’ve decided to let my business suffer because I can’t be on the internet right now
ohhhhh i feel this ... yes amy rooting for you! this is part of redefining the girl boss :~)
It's because you're such a kind and compassionate person yourself, Amy. You just attract the same kinds of people. There's no room here for toxicity in this community, what-so-ever.
It's not getting old. I love this kind of videos so much. Keep going, girl (when you feel you can)
Hey Amy, you are absolutely amazing, as always. I resonate so deeply with what you have to say. I am sending you all the love and support. Take care of yourself, take a break, get some rest, you are so worthy of all the good things. I've recently been thinking that it must be so hard to stay persistent with the job you are doing. You put out so much, dear, and it is absolutely valid to feel exhausted and depleted. Please, release all you worries and anxieties about not being relevant and all this stuff. I think you are able to contribute even more by taking your time and doing things in your own pace.
Love you so much. Take care!
THANK YOU for this video!! I've never related to anything more..i do OF (please no judgement anyone) and it gets so old. the posting, content creation, hundreds of messages/emails everyday, social media, doing my makeup, setting up lighting/cameras..an when i take a day off i always always feel like im losing people and not staying relevant and it causes so much stress i cant even enjoy my time off. im always thinking about the messages piling up the longer i wait and i spend hours responding to them when im online. it really is a hamster wheel with no downtime and i've always been such a spiritual person before social media but now i cant even meditate like i used to. thank you. i need to ground myself so bad and get back into breathwork and not care what people think because my time is more important than others' satisfaction.
💯 Feeling extremely burnt out from the start of the year -- with no proper vacation/rest and increasing demand at work. Also self-doubt and the impostor syndrome kicked in so bad. On top of that, the guilt, because so many lost their job. 🥵 Worse, I got really sick because of the stress. But yeah, I feel you. I'm still figuring things out how to make my situation better and hopefully this pandemic will end soon. xx
Take all the time and space you need. We understand, love and appreciate you so much. You have helped me through so much and I am so grateful for this. Thank you, Amy. You have such a beautiful soul!
I'm sorry, but I gotta leave a long comment bc there's too much to say! First of all, thank you for your sincere honesty and vulnerability. What you did to deserve this community was be yourself and work as hard as you've described - we are simply mirrors of you. 💙 I resonated with nearly everything you said.
If there's anything I've learned about burnout over the last 6 months is that it catches up with you. And however long you burned out for will take even longer to recover from. I spent months last year outputting content online without even thinking twice about receiving. I hit a point like you now, where I just needed to *surrender,* take months off of social media, contain my energy, and focus on myself - only being receptive and passive, letting things come to me on their own time instead of *always* forcing, connecting to my divine feminine energy, and trusting in the process.
In this time, I read a book called Mysteries of the Dark Moon by Demetra George which is entirely about the divine and repressed feminine, its history over the last 40,000 years compared to patriarchy, the lunar cycle and dark goddesses, the misperception of the dark feminine, and how we can all heal - all genders. It was written in 1992 but is incredibly relevant. It's definitely a dark material, shadow work type of book with journal questions, but it has changed my perspective on *everything.* Not exaggerating! I hope you or whoever reads this checks it out and we can collectively heal the feminine energy in this world that is so desperately needed.
Bless the Goddess within all of us and let her darkness heal us no matter how painful, we are not alone 🖤
I love that you got a cleaner to help you! It's not that you can't deep clean your place but it's more that you don't need to do it yourself. I also battle with thinking I'm not good enough and I have to do everything myself. I hope you take the time you need to unwind and take a break! We all deserve a break.
Im in the exact same boat. Have immigrant parents who did everything themselves, so I always feel guilty about outsourcing anything or even spending a little more on "luxury" things that I can afford now. On one hand, its great to have a frugal mindset, on the other hand, I cant get out of the scarcity mindset. I have more than I ever had, make more than I ever did and still feel like its not enough. When I was making less, I had less of a focus on my spending because it "didnt matter." But now there's so many things I have to budget for like retirement that the goal is always moving and I feel like itll never be enough.
Yes yes yes!!!!!! Healing the divine feminine! That is what my work is all about ❤❤❤❤❤
amy i want to give you the biggest hug!!! it makes me sad to hear how rough it's been, you deserve the world!!
Oh Amy, you are so harsh on yourself. And I know it, because I do it to myself as well. I am somewhere in between- I am a child, and now a grownup, who is always doing too much to make others feel good, but I am also an immigrant-mother who is paving the way for her daughter's future. So, thank you for sharing your true-self, it helps me relate better to the both sides of my story- the past and the arriving part of it. Sometimes, I feel like we just need to learn better to live in the now...
love you Amy! so excited for everything you’re going to do for the collective 💙 you deserve rest
You are an absolute QUEEN and deserve a break!!! Also I’m a projector, looking into this more as I never knew about human designs 🧡
You are so deserving Amy we love you so much and you have taught us so much so take the time for you!!
The timing oh my gosh it's school and relationships for me rn like life in general rn is too draining imo💔
Amy, you make me feel so seen. This video has been exactly how I've been feeling for the past couple months.
omg girl you absolutely rock the red hair I love it
Thank you Amy, what you discussed about growing up with your moms success and her sacrifices for that role really resonated for me and has had so much to do with the way I burn myself out
I teared up watching this!! I find your videos inspiring and it's nice to know I'm not alone in how I feel.
You've got no idea how much I learn with your videos. Thank you!
Yes, queen-- protect yourself and protect that incredible partner of yours.
Have a good break lovely - will miss you but it’s important for you to rest. Looking forward to seeing you again all fresh and energised 😘
Also one last comment for tonight before I go, I genuinely love the gratitude you have.
ily sm, by taking care of yourself you're sharing that message with others
Oh Amy, this is the most real, the most deep and the most beautiful I have ever seen you. Yes, you need to put your own mask on first before you can help a sister out! Get that souls rest and know that it will all work out the way it's supposed to, in its own divine time. You're on the right path, and remember it is messy in the middle but at the other side of that is liberation and a clear view. You-re a blessing to us all Amy, take good care sister 🌹💕
this timing is incredible. i've been coming to so many realizations lately and i feel the axels of my mind shifting so deeply especially when it comes to getting in touch with vulnerability, the divine feminine, etc. and i just want to thank you for creating and being!!
edit: i also just relate to you so much and i want you to know that what you give is enough. just what you've done for me already and how you've helped me to grow over the past year that i've been subscribed to you is incredible i really am so grateful to have discovered you. & i hope you find peace x
ok final edit!! you asked what you did to deserve this, and you existed. let me reiterate how much you've helped me! i'm a lot younger than you but i've learned so so much from you and i see myself reflected in you which is a beautiful thing. ok thank you. thank you.
thank you again for sharing amy, I always get a bit emotional watching your videos cause I really do feel like you’re talking directly to us all. please take all the time you need for looking out for yourself ❤️
The part where you spoke about giving being an energy exchange spoke to me 🥺 I am a giving person and I am so tired of giving pieces of myself to people who will gladly take but not reciprocate.
Thank you for sharing your energy on the internet. I really appreciate how vulnerable you are, and you are such an inspiration for me. Love you so much and wishing you peace, rest, and happiness 💗 Also, not sure if this needs to be said, but I will be here, subscribed and supporting, as long as you're here--doesnt matter if you take a break or anything else. Please do what is best for you and your mental/emotional/spiritual health and self.
It’s not getting old, give yourself grace. You have the flexibility to take time off when necessary, use it Queen.
I strongly believe that there are ways in which you can live your dreams and serve your purpose that don't require you to overwork yourself. You will find these ways I am sure. I hope you are not to hard on yourself until then. Love you and will stay here to support you no matter how much time you take off ❤❤❤
Thank you soo much for your videos, time, and energy!! 🤍 it never gets old!!!
Just found out my human design type is manifesting generator too 😳 always rooting for you Amy! Please take care of yourself, your content is always so interesting and insipiring, I discovered so much about healing etc... Thanks to you! So take care and take some well deserved rest ❤️
I love youuuuu thanks for being honest and vulnerable!!! You deserve to take a break
