    YOU GUYS WENT THERE!! ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ME Here’s a personal video reacting to assumptions about me. I made this to mark reaching us 250K subscribers together with a sit down chit chat video. I think of the goals we all want like how to be independent (Mum put that in me) and how to have a successful career (something I struggled with for ages). I really wondered how to work as a freelancer versus how to be an influencer because there was no such thing (i detest that word anyway). I hope at the end you realize it was about how to find your passion regardless of what that looks like. I touch on my relationship but this is not a video on how to find your soulmate or how to have a healthy relationship. My channel is not about that! If you want the best relationship advice, that’s a different UA-camr!

    Never apologize for what you have. You don't owe anyone an explanation or an apology for why you have a Kelly bag or a big house, etc. You've EARNED it. Period.

      Karen has earned it, but many folks inherit wealth. I'm not surprised people assumed it - its hard to know the work that goes behind the scenes. Also, personally I hate when people say "you deserve it! you earned it!". Unfortunately we don't live in a society where more work or more important work pays more. The most hard working and important members of society such as nurses, teachers, factory workers are the ones that earn the least, while some CEOs and landlords get tons of money for barely moving a finger.

      @@purpleworm4725 Exactly. Tons of people “slave away” at horrible and dangerous jobs but are hardly wealthy. Yet I can work the same hours at a nice desk job but make twice as much? It’s all rather silly. To that end, my parents are blue collar workers (construction and seamstress) who’ve earned their wealth by being landlords. A nice F-you to society ;) It helped that my dad knows construction and could parcel out part of our home into a separate rental unit. But, back to your comment, hear hear! The world doesn’t operate on a meritocracy. If it did, the salary distribution would change quite drastically.

It's essentially saying she couldn't possibly do it on her own. She does deserve whatever she has. It's unfortunate those groups of people don't make what they deserve but it's not on Karen. a content creator to change that.

    My mother gave me the same advice to always have your own money. She always had a private bank account, not in a sneaky way from her second husband, but because she needed something that was just hers. I think it was because her first husband (my father) died unexpectedly when they were both twenty-six leaving her with four small children to take care of. She stashed money away for years to make sure she could always take care of herself and her kids.

    • @jmk1962

This is just another reason why I love you so much and I have never met you! You and your husband are such great people you can tell even through these videos! We see how good you guys are I hope God continues to bless you both!

    I feel so inspired by your story financially speaking, you just had your blog and insta! I am challenged after I had a good life with an illness I have had an burn out and my body collapsed and diagnosed with a bone injury in my hips, it got chronic because only help from doctors were pain medication. So I really have to help myself by discovering how to heal that injury with the right kind of exercises, I already made alot of mistakes and made it worse but after 4 years with this I got to know somebody who has an explanation and a way to come out of it. I truly thank my parents for helping me out since years, it is hard to be dependent partly on your parents with 44 but thats life sometimes. Before that I was travelling fulltime and living by the ocean 6 years in a beautiful house, thati completely gone, forever!

    I can totally understand "i was dieing a slow dead on the 9 tot 5 job" bc your a creative person in a way , and i had that too.
    When i still lived home with my mom, i wasn't a good student so my mom said" then you need to look at work, whatever it is you take it " i was okay i can make my money , I finally can stop school (i was 17 ) and i was on the hunt , every interimbureau was signed up for every job, I was going to shops for work (from cleaner to sales,..) & then i got a job in a hotel for cleaning rooms, then a job in a factory, then in a lingerielshop, (they were all temperary jobs if someone was sick for a long period, or pregnant,...) and then i worked back in the same factory but now i got a change for longterm, I think that was arround my 22 /23 y old. But bc it was the same thing 8h long every day, 5 day's ! In the beginning i was " okay i make money, and if you got a high % , like say : that they the computer would give us 67% , if you reatched that or over that you get that payed on top of the month salary. & in the first few months i was going for it . But then that stopted, I wasn't happy, but i couldn't give myself the " lets go Carmen you can do it see what you make monthly " anymore, I felt in a black hole. I was pregnant at the time,.. then i got a very heavy depression,...
    Now last y at 36 after loosing familymembers in less then 2 weeks, I was done with everything, i thought every day "f.. this depression, f... these anxciety atacks,
    I'm going for it , don't now how, or when but i will make my dream come true
    And now i'm a stylist and i'm making it happen with ups en downs but i am doing it, i'm proud at myself, my daughter is proud of me (not for being a stylist but that i make my dream come true & fighting for it
    Karen congratulations on 200k
    You are still a braith of fresh air here, bc of that sparkle you have, the joy like a kid in a candy store when you see something or someone, the passion, also when Micheal comes in the video's, jou to , your relation is goals,
    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    Have a lovely weekend everyone reading this 🌻
    Btw i know its a long 1 , this comment, but of Karen opens up to us, i thought " Carmen lets give a bit open up back to Karen"
    So thats why 🌻

    Love e your and Michael's honesty and openness about when you struggled. That's the thing about social media, some "influencers" portray those "perfect" facades so people believe that they have all this money and have never struggled or wanted for anything. It just surprised me how many people assumed you came from money. It's obvious to me that you work hard to get the things you have, like most of us! Loved getting to know more about you through this video! Been following you, your blog, since before You Tube and IG. Btw, your hair is beautiful! Can't wait to see you style it naturally/curly!
