    So happy that you're happy. Honestly, that's the biggest goal for everyone. Everyone deserves happiness and if you're not happy where you're at, it's important to take a step back and rethink, plan, and do whatever you got to do to take a step to be happy again.

    • @alexiseldredge

      yes! i totally agree with that, it is so easy to get stuck in a routine or lifestyle that you aren't content with- this definitely was a blessing in disguise!

    Ahhhh been there 2008. It’s pretty crushing but you are embracing it the right way -- an open door and a new adventure. You have great life skills. One reason you may be extra tired is the silent stress on the lay-off. It takes a toll so get extra rest !

    • @alexiseldredge

    Been laid off twice. Once in the run up to 2008 crash, and in 2015 when the startup I was working for lost its main investor. Every time it took me out my comfort zone and pushed me and proved both times to lead to great things. It can be scary, glad your relaxed, the UA-cams can support... never watched a blog video like this before... it was chill and nice (and NYC, yey)
    Keep at it :)

  • @samsan6360
    @samsan6360 Рік тому +1

    I was laid off 2 weeks ago (Mortgage industry) but I look at it as a blessing in disguises since I was so unhappy in that job and like you was debating quitting. I am happy for both of us to pursue our passions in this newfound freedom.

    Hi Alexis! Just found your videos through your growing audience videos. I am also in theatre in Canada (stage manager), and starting up my own channel because I’m moving to England this year. A little scary turning down work here, but it’s been on my mind for years. Hoping I can build a channel that also supplements my income so I’m not in an expensive city with no income. Your channel is inspiring me, and your video when you first got monetized is inspiring and also preparing me. Thank you!
