    Never apologize for not being ok. It's ok to not be ok, we all have those times in our lives where everything seems to be crushing our spirit, the important thing to do is give yourself some grace, know that it won't be permanent and take care of yourself. We're here for you, good times or rough times, and we love you for keeping it real. Every day won't go perfectly or even be good, but every day you wake up is great in the grand scheme of life. Sending you all the hugs and positive vibes ❤💜

    Hello, I'm not sure if this will help. I separated from my husband 3 years ago, and like you, I'm the only one who is taking the load of my kids in all aspects, including financially. Unlike you, I have a full-time job, and luckily, I work from home after covid. I started reselling right after covid to help my daughter with university expenses. I have 3 kis at home, and my daughter is currently going to university up north. I list 5 items every day because I have focused on getting quality items only, and I do not have the time or space for more. So, with this being said, I completely understand how you feel and what you are going through. It is important for you to shift your mind to positive things when negative thoughts come to mind and know you will be OK. Take step by step on your agenda for the day so you do not feel overwhelmed. Step by step. Plan your day and stick to it as much as you can. Financially, having to take the full load, it must be stressful due beacuse sales are up and down. Will virtual assistant may be something to purse to help after you do 15 yourself? Not sure maybe u should look into it. I just hope things settle down for you and know that on this side of the screen we are cheering for you. May God bless you.

    Sales are slow for everyone you are not alone. And don't worry about the crying it's real life. So many on UA-cam try and make everything perfect and it leaves the viewer wondering what we are doing wrong that our lives don't look like theirs. That's why everyone loves you. We can relate because you are real. Things have to get better. Keep your head up. The fees yes are on taxes and shipping. I had my best month so far on poshmark last month. For reference I had made $1000. In the first week. This month still not there. It's been crickets. I hope they change something because this is not working. Depop out did posh this weekend. Anyway just keep pushing you are gonna be fine. Take care of you and your babies that's what's important.

    I had one bad review on ebay and they practically shut me down. 50% down on impressions it was bad. Sad and angry are the same thing only angry has some energy behind it that can transform into determination. Inventory so this quits happening and then when they quit the punishment you can give ebay a good spanking. This business works for sure. You're gonna make it big!

    Oh honey girl, you have got to get some YOU time in. As a mama of 5 I know it is imperative to take YOU time. My mom always says that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and it really is so true. As nice as it would be to go to a spa or ger your hair done, that is not always an option for a lot of us, so take time where you can find it. Take a hot cup of coffee outside, go for a walk, sit in your car and listen to some music and chill for a bit, switch up your workspace and sit at a Starbucks for an hour or two. Sometimes a simple change of scenery is everything! I am working on a little care package for you, you have taught me so much just being a part time reseller and even though I am sad that you're cutting back on your videos, I am so glad you are taking care of YOU! Somebody has to do it! Here's one gold star from one busy mama to another! You have touched so many lives, and have so much support from so many great people here! YOU GOT THIS! 🥰 -janelle

I'm so glad you're loving REU!! I haven't mentioned this in a vid yet, but there's also an app you can use! I love watching/listening to the calls on my phone!

    Here's your older UA-cam BFF again. Life is so short. Stress will kill you. You have little ones who need their Momma, need a Momma that is not so spread thin. I love your UA-cam content, but would rather see a Happy Ashley giving your great advice 2 times a week or less, than to see a beautiful person 4 to 5 days a week struggling and being so hard on yourself. And the fact is you will most likely make more of the much needed income of a single mom, listed Ng and selling on various platforms and your in person markets. Lofty goals are great, but can be dangerous especially if they are being made by comparisons of what others do. You're not anyone else but you. Your circumstances are individual to you. I'm a Momma of 2 girls your age and this is exactly what I would tell them. This above all: to thine own self be true. Shakespeare

    You definitely have a lot on your plate just being a single mom alone is very tough job! I am fairly new. I have only been doing this for one year this month, but I was thinking October November December would be my best months and they certainly have not been. Poshmark died for me when they went through their fee change glad they changed it back, but I think it’s just honestly the economy and the inflation so many people right now are struggling that they just don’t have the money to purchase any extras!!!! We all enjoy your videos, but definitely take a break and put yourself in your children first❤️🙏

    Yes Poshmark adds in the sales tax to the percentage sellers have to pay. Many sellers have pointed out that isn't cool as we as sellers do not get any of the sales tax, so why is it figured into the percent we have to pay.

    I can tell this is a stressful time for you, and I know this would be hard, but I'd recommend doing 2 weeks without coffee to see if you're handling stress better. I know how it is when it seems like coffee really helps you get by, but honestly, it really affects the nervous system. I'm a bit more sensitive, so I try to stay away from coffee.. but I've noticed that when I have it for at least 4 days in a row, I'm more agitated emotionally.
    It won't solve your problems, but may help in the way you feel and handle your stress. Hope your sales increase soon! I think the political atmosphere and recent hurricanes haven't helped much!

    Hi Ash. I feel your frustration. I have been a part time reseller on all the platforms and just last week, my Depop was banned :( It was my number 1 platform and now I feel so lost. Luckily, I have a regular full time job and resell as a supplement to my income. But if I relied solely on reselling as income I would be absolutely stressed out with losing my top selling platform. I am going to take a few days off to reset my mind and then just work hard on my other platforms. I hope things pick up for you soon. Sending you virtual hugs ❤

I decided to give it try so I canceled my other service and signed up with auto posher. They have a feature where they relist ebay and depop listings everyday. I can honestly say I seen a huge up in sales on all platforms. Honestly I'm super glad I switched. Not sure what service you use but auto is where it's at definitely. My store is about 1400 listings and I'm selling atleast 13 a day my goal is 15 to 20. Honestly I have most bread and butter brands in my closet. Just dropping it out there for info for ya.
