      Please do keep your mental health first. Are you familiar with Brendan Fallis? He and his wife Hannah Bronfman are content creators who are always expanding with new entrepreneurial ideas. You may get some good “how to” information from them.

I just started following your channel. I love your content. Wish I was close by to give you a big hug in person, but receive my love and a big hug! Hold your head high and keep pushing! ❤😊

    Hey beautiful, I was lying down watching you, and as soon as I saw that teardrop, the mother in me jumped up. I hear you, sweetie, It’s okay to cry and I think you’re right you may be overwhelmed and may have to scale back and say no to some brand deals or get an assistant. You don’t have to apologize for crying, I appreciate you for sharing and being real. I think you’re helping others with your story help healing others. You got this and I'm so proud of you I think you should celebrate yourself you are achieving amazingly well for a young lady your age. ❤❤❤ I know I said a lot, but I just had to say something.

    @cb4664 Рік тому +14

    Auntie here. I’m so proud of you for expressing how you feel. Believe it or not, it was probably good for your mental health and your audience’s because sometimes people may get the idea that content creators “have it easy” and this shows that’s not the case. We all struggle to find balance. It’s also probably an indication that your channel is kind of blowing up so clearly which means you have done your job well. My advice is: consider you first. Write down the things that you need to feel balanced and happy and then work around it. When you feel it’s becoming too much, take a 45 minute walk when you can, call a buddy, etc. You can also say no. You know why? Because there will be other jobs.If you can’t do it, it’s ok to say so. It is also ok to ask for help. You may want to consider a part- time intern/ assistant ( can be unpaid). I’m sure there are folks out there who may be willing to do a part time internship to learn about becoming an influencer or making a living using social media. And there is nothing wrong with crying, in fact it is a release we all need. We love you and want your mental health to be good. Be blessed honey girl.

    Hey sis. I love seeing you take care of yourself! That’s going to look different in different seasons of life, and that is okay. You always stand up again and I love that about you. I was literally just randomly praying for you right before the scene of the tears came. I could feel in my spirit when I looked at you that something just wasn’t well-even before you said so. God wants you to know that He wants to help you carry what you’ve been carrying alone for so long. Seek Him out, love. He’s literally waiting for the invitation to make the burden lighter. ❤️

I can tell that this is your baby by the way that you romanticize and orchestrate your videos! I love you and I’m sending support and warm hugs from NC!

      @JorgeNWeEzy all I was saying is not to stress yourself out so much in your 20s trying to "rest" in your 30s because that's not gonna happen. 30s is not old enough to rest. The same shit you're doing in your 20s is the same shit you'll be doing in your 30s, just with more self-realization and maturity (hopefully).
      I was saying don't overstress yourself working extra hard because you feel as though 30s is some sort of retirement time because thats not real life. But by all means, stress yall selves out silly huns.

    Amani I just love you girl. You are being blessed left, right,and center because of how beautifully raw you walk in your purpose. You lead but also a allow yourself to be led to the places where peace awaits you. Even when it means pouting your heart out. I’ve been feeling every word you said lately as I’m going through a similar journey and I felt guilt smh. So I can’t thank you enough for how you continue to show ALL sides of you unapologetically. It’s healing many of use Continue to honor your mind, body, and spirit. You will never be led astray. 🫶🏾💕

    I'm 26 and the part where you said "Part of me feels like I haven't been living my best life" yeah girl I felt that. I have been feeling like I need to experience life more, do more things, and make some girlfriends but it's rough out here LOL. I appreciate the transparency in your videos and watching you navigate through your 20's.

    This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. This is only the realization that you’ve grown and it’s time to build a team, which is scary, I’m sure. This is the beginning of a new chapter and we’re all rooting for you and we love you!
    I’m currently trying to rebuild my channel alongside my photography business and I’m seeing that in order to get balance, I need help. It’s time to adjust to this next phase of your business.

    Girl I feel u! I’m older than u but I understand not having a life due to work. I left a good paying career, yet very distressful job, for a less paying. I did that to have a life! But now my pockets are lower and I’m depleting my savings. I have a side hustle that I would like to capitalize on. Yeah it’s an emotional journey, especially living a lone.

    You’re doing the best that YOU can! I applaud you for that. You have to take control of your life because you’re the only one in charge of it. I think you should take a break. Even if it’s just for a day or an hour doing something that’s not work related. Yes if u can afford it you should get an assistant. Take care ❤ I love your content.

    I'm new to your channel and out of all your videos I decided to watch this video first for some reason. I'm in my early 50's and we have so much in common. I pour all my time in working and giving. It's hard for me to say no because I am a giver and caring person. I just have to learn to start putting myself first. Just wanted to say you got this and I'll be sticking around to watch your content. I hit that subscribe bell. Thanks for sharing and just know you God Got You.
    ✌🏽❤️🙏🏽

    Girl you wildin paying $160 for nails! I was over even the $50+ range and started doing them at home and it has me wondering why I didn’t start sooner. Granted, we love having someone do it for us, but the prices are a bit much these days.
