Any time I've had big, unexpected changes in my life, I can look back and see that I was stagnant and the change was the step I needed to grow and move forward. It's always terrifying in the moment, but productive in long run. Instead of asking myself "what now?", I try to ask myself "what next? " You've already proved that you can make it through tough things. You've got this. ♥️
So true!
Ah Drea, their loss. So sorry, but another door will open for you. Youre brilliant, logical, creative, detail-oriented, have good communication skills, and you know what appeals to your audience. What company wouldn't be seeking those attributes. Best of luck. Patty
Thank you so much!
Often, when we experience a sudden loss, the first thing we do is scramble to fill that void. But life has taught me that sometimes, we need to do nothing for a little while. Give yourself time to sit with your current situation because if you panic in your financially vulnerable state, you might decide that won't serve your best well-being. Please take time to breathe, Drea. This might be a blessing in disguise, but you have to be still and quiet (long enough) to hear the cues to your next move. Sending hugs and best wishes. I know everything will work out well for you because you give off good energy to the plant community which tells me you give good energy everywhere, so good things are in the cue for you! 💕🪴🫂
You guys are gonna make cry, thank you💚
I got laid off recently myself, and instead of updating my resume and searching for a job, I've gotten into watching UA-cam videos about some of my favorite subjects, like houseplants. So when this video popped up as a suggestion and I read the title I knew I had to watch it--and I was right. This situation stinks, but I know in the end we'll both be able to look back at it as the push we needed to move on to something bigger and better. Or at least I really really hope so. Now off to watch some of your other videos! (Also, this video got my first "like" and your channel got my first "subscribe" ever. 🙂)
Wow, thank you so much! And sorry you’re going through the same thing💚
After watching this video, I wanted to share my observations about YOU! I only discovered your channel a week or two ago and I was Immediately well pleased. You have an excellent voice and a manner that is very genuine. The flow of your speech is almost flawless, in that you do not use filler words or strange sing-song patterns and the like. Your knowledge seems professional and competent. People naturally want to learn from someone who knows what they are doing. If you choose to leave the corporate world and ebrace your obvious passion for plants.......I salute you. God bless you in any and all your efforts. You are a wonderful woman in my book!
Thank you so much!❤️ And I really had to work on the whole filler words thing when I first started making videos, lol. You never really realize you’re doing it until you’re editing a video and start thinking to yourself, “if I say “umm” one more time I’m tossing this video in the trash…”😂
As an old lady, who also happens to own a corporation, I have found that life rarely gives you what you want, WHEN you want it, but sometimes when you NEED it. This is your "sign" to do your own thing. Concentrate on your training clients & your social media brand. You're brilliant, personable & relatable, you will make it. No problem. Also F*** the corporate world. Hence why I started my own thing over 20 years ago. Yes, it's a corporation but it's small, and we all take care of each other. They all receive good pay, benefits & profit sharing & in turn I have the best people that I absolutely love. You can do/have the same thing. You got this!
Thanks for the support and motivation 💚
I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope things turn around soon. Thanks for repotting and chatting with us xx
Thank you💚
Thanks for sharing and posting today.I'm sorry to hear of the challenges you are going through right now. I have been there a time or two, and it's not fun, but the good thing is that it is rarely permanent. I found that during this time, you have to do what you are doing, which is to find a job to take the place of that lost income. While doing that, focus on those things that are going right and continue to move those things forward. Use this additional time to make as much content and complete as many projects as possible so that when you start your next job you have enough stockpiled to maintain your release schedule while you are acclimating to your new work schedule. Lastly. stay positive and focus on the good going on in your life. I know that it can be hard with everything being so fresh, but you have overcome hard times before, and you can do it again.
so sorry about your job! hang in there, something will come along, you deserve all the best!
Thank you so much!
Wishing you a better job that is more fulfilling 💚
Thank you so much!
During this video, you demonstrated your core strengths: thinking on your feet, respecting yourself, clearly explainng micro details about your environment, and so much more. No matter what you do next, you show up for your clients and yourself and will always be successful. If you decide to stay w/YT, you'd be a great fit for the Epic Gardening team.
Thank you💚
Oh no! I've been catching up on your videos and just saw this. Sending you so much love and determination! You are so thorough with your beautiful videos and your care for plants, and Mr. Toby, you will bounce back stronger and in a better place. You are wonderful! Thank you so much for the awesome, well researched, and beautiful content! You help so many of us, thank you ❤😊
Thank you so much!!💚💚💚
The SAME thing happened to me last week! It's a terrible feeling, especially if the management was messed up & it wasn't legal what they did! Keep the faith, another opportunity will come by.
So sorry you’re also dealing with this 💚
I was let go from my job of 10 years back in 2020. It felt devastating at the time, but it turned out to be the best thing. The job I’m in now is perfect for me and much easier on my mental health. So it can work out for the best, but I know it just plain sucks in the moment. Sorry you’re going through this, Drea, hang in there 💚
Thank you💚
First time watching you & in life everything happens for a reason. Hopefully you find a better place for you.
Thank you💚
Really sorry about your loss of employment. Thankfully, you seem well equipped to make a new future for yourself; and young enough too. Bless you 🙏🏾
Thank you💚
Pretty sure can imagine how you were feeling so thank you for doing the video. Pleased you were feeling better at the end of it though. Keep strong Drea you got this girl 💚 xx
Thanks💚
❤ Hoping for the best possible future for you (and all of us!)
Thanks!💚
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Just remember you have persevered 100 percent of all life has thrown at you.
So true!
I am really sorry about that. Your content is very good and I'm loving following your work here. New opportunities will come to you. Hugs from Brazil 💚
Thank you💚
Drea, this is so honest and real. Thank you for you vulnerability and you ability to get up and make a video for us, despite it all. You are a winner! I am going through a similar situation and I'm an educator...so it's me and my students. It's heartbreaking. Still, as many of these comments say, it's not cliche to believe that everything happens for a reason. The people who hired. you and the people who let you go had THAT purpose in your life to prepare you for the next step. Keep getting up. Your next step is coming, and most importantly, it's YOURS to design.
PS--I can't get my string of hearts to root after 5 months!! :)
Thank you! Are you rooting your string of hearts in water?
So sorry about this situation you find yourself in. I can tell from watching you how valuable of an emploee you must be. You throw yourself into things 100% You will be just fine. I spent 3 years in the corporate world and said "this is BS!" SO, started my own business. I was so much happier. Retired now. Love your videos. I watched outcof order so I know youve said goodbye to Corporate World. We here on UA-cam gotcyour back!❤
Thank you!💚
I have no doubt, it is the universe giving an opportunity to really follow your dreams and do what you love. Screw them, you're amazing! ❤️🙏🌟🤗
Thanks so much💚
Sorry about your job loss. I'm old n I have learned that my new job was always better than the job I lost. How about becoming an entrepreneur, say in the field of houseplants. You are so knowledgeable. If there's a will, there is a way. Found that to be true many times over.
Omg... Glad I watched this video to find another virtual plant friend. Plants are also supporting me through a long, frustrating divorce and also a job loss due to a loss of my mental health in the process. Sooo happy to have plants and great planty content like yours to help me be successful at nurturing my new loves 😁 Found flexible freelance work thru Upwork in the meantime, maybe that would be a good fit for you too for now?
Also a Texas girl--so great to have found you!!
Sorry to hear you went through a not fun time as well but glad plants are helping💚 What part of Texas are you in?
@@AlohaPlantLife San Antonio 😁 Used to head to your neck of the woods for work. Sadly not fun times are still upon me, so your content means that much more to me. Thank you for being real and relatable!!
Know your worth young lady and don’t be scared. It doesn’t feel like it right now but that is a blessing in disguise. You were not appreciated. Better things will materialize. Just be open.❤
Thank you 💚
Sorry to hear about the job loss. I've found that this is the new way of the corporate structure. Company's merge or get bought out and within a year or so they restructure the company by outsourcing jobs even when they have on idea what the current employees actually do, or they will downsize to decrease the payroll letting the experienced workers go to hire lower paid entry level employees. Contract work can be much higher paying so that could be an option. It's not as expensive to buy your own Medical Insurance as people usually think. Every time I have had this happen to me it turned out to be a change for the better and more profitable. Try to keep a positive attitude things always work out in the end. You are way ahead of the curve by having not one but two side hustles. Good luck with the search. The SOH looks beautiful.
Thank you!
A blessing in disguise, take care!
As if I just came across you. Your spending 1781$ came across my feed. Not really sure why just now. You mentioned the loss of your job and it intrigued me. Now watching this one. I seriously don’t have enough space here to explain and honestly can’t say enough “ditto”’s in comparison to me. Diff but same. How can you NOT be disenchanted. From tech/accounting I’m now at an charity art gallery. Take a break and don’t look for a job right away. It took me months to update my resume after 15 years with the old company. Shock is not strong enough of a word to explain my state of mind at that time. So glad I came across you. Btw, at 16:12. Epic 😂😂😂 wtg
Working at a charity art gallery sounds cool!
Aww that sucks, but maybe it'll be for the best!! Best wishes from Athens Greece 😊
Thanks so much💚
Whatever is to happen next is what’s meant to be💚
Hey Drea. Best wishes on your new endeavor.
Love the pot liner idea!
Hey, IF they call you back, get them to hire you at a contractor's salary. Waaayyy better pay plus more flexibility if you find something you like more. Also, while the pay may not be the same, check out state colleges as they are often in need of someone for marketing and foundation work. Think your skills work for that and they might be more open to hybrid lately, too.
Will do!
What a bummer but as the old adage goes, when one door closer another opens. It will all work out for you. Be open to possibilities and put your positive vibes into the universe.
So sorry. You will rebound for sure! Hugs
Thank you💚
First thing I would do is apply for unemployment, then I would take a few weeks and calm down and think things through, plenty of jobs out there, make sure you find one that fits your needs
God love ya, hope you find a job very soon! Much love from Nova Scotia🇨🇦
I hope so too! Thank you 💚
Hope you find a new job soon enough...All the very best
Thank you 💚
Big hugs to you.
Thank you!
Remember if you want to help let the ads play through and to watch the whole video!
If they were ot using you to your potential than they do not deserve you. I know that doesn't help with the job situation but I hope you know you are valuable you are. There is something awesome just waiting for you to pick it up and make it better. I myself wish I had some talent and skill but I don't. I am wasting away to PtsdC et al
You've had a bad few years by the sound of things. First off, figure out how much you need to get by, get rid of the unnecessary things in life, then you'll know what you're aiming for. Trust me, life can improve greatly when you simplify. Good luck. I know you'll find a better course in life. 🙏
I hope you find a job soon xx until then FULL TIME youtube 🥰🥰🥰
So sorry you lost your job.
Hope it will sent you on an even better path. I'm convinced things happen for a reason. Doesn't make it less sucky.
Thank you💚
How you were let go is illegal without any notice in the UK and you would have had recourse to the law. Since you are the sole creator of their most important system, I would imagine that they will come a begging pretty soon. If they do and you think about going back, make sure it’s as a self employed contractor with a salary and conditions commensurate with your skills. You are clearly a person with valuable skills but you are in shock I think, which makes it very difficult to think straight. Do one day at a time, making time to do some relaxation/meditation. I wish you good luck for the future and look forward to hearing how you are going along 💕🕯
With your background in, marketing, I believe? why not start your own business? There is always a future in marketing, and that would allow you more flexibility in clients, hours, etc. On another note, WD40 will take the stickers off that pot real quick!
🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
who ever lost you. lost one in a million .
Thank you!💚
Multi billion dollar company needing to make cuts, it all makes sense now... Gotta pay the ppl who have more than they could ever spend already!
Well this is not a good title. ((Hugs)) if you accept hugs, and well wishes. Money is so crazy hard for most of us right now. I feel bad for sending you my random plant haul from the store now. I treated myself a bit for my birthday on coming up on the 1st and since the grocery store doesn't label anything they were all 13 each including the decorative pot.
If you feel like chatting DM me or we can even move to Facebook chat since it's more functional. 💞
Happy early birthday!
@@AlohaPlantLife thank you!
