Hi Ann! Thank you for putting this video together and sharing with us your deepest thoughts, struggles, childhood upbringing, and explaining why you do the things you do. I feel like I connect with you in so many ways. Growing up, I didn't have many girlfriends to go to because my parents forbidded me from having sleep overs, we lived 30 minutes away from where all my classmates lived, and I was the only girl in the family, so i didnt have female friends to bond with. I was always in my room a lot and did a lot of journaling, as that was my outlet. I then got my first job after college and it was working for one of the top 4 accounting firms. I thought about the prestige and climbing up the cororate ladder. However, I didn't know how to dress as I was never into fashion, plus being around 2 brothers. I felt self conscious and felt out of place. I also had the tendency to over think things like did I say the wrong thing in the meeting, does my co worker think I'm weird, does my boss like me, etc. The workplace had so many cliques cuz they go out for lunch togethet, or go to happy hour after work. It's like high school all over. I would get depressed and cry after coming home from work for being left out. I somehow picked up on fashion sense and made some friends there, but it was all a facade. It was a cut throat environment and after being there a few years, I needed to leave because it wasnt conducive to my lifestyle. Fast forward, I have gotten older and more mature. I have come to realize that I wasn't the problem, but that the place I worked for was toxic and wasn't the place for me. I worked for smaller companies and people are friendly and down to earth. They genuinely care about your well being. I guess what I'm trying to say, along with your point is, don't settle and don't change who you are. You be you. If it's a toxic place, or people are using you for their benefits, it's best to move on. The grass is greener on the other side. I did take a pay cut, but my philosophy is, why make so much money and be miserable. I rather make enough, as long as I'm able to pay my bills, and be content. Life is too short. Take time to enjoy life and do the things that give you peace and joy.
Wow... thank you so much for sharing your story! So happy you found the strength to be true and honest with yourself. That takes so much courage and strength! 💪💕 Definitely agreed about the grass always seems greener on the other side 😅
@@StudioAnnLe Hi Ann! So good to see your response. Thank you for your encouragement! I love your channel and I look forward to your next video! Have a fabulous week!🙌🏻
Thank you for being so brave, vulnerable, and trusting us with your story. I find this series so inspiring and I always look forward to what you have to say
Thank you for another honest story. I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through, losing confidence in the people close to you. I can only imagine how devastating and lonely that must've felt. I hope you're doing better now and found joy again in creating content, rather than living out of fear. Although social media can feel distant, know that you're never truly alone and you have a community that cares about your happiness and wellbeing.
Regarding the money mindset, I feel like most of us (if not all of us) have grown up with the idea that buying stuff would make us feel better. If we just got that one new thing, we would feel more confident, happy, whatsoever. And when we finally saved enough to buy it, it's only then that we realise that the expected happiness lasts for a short time. Which makes us work even harder, to buy the new next thing, because that would make us happy for sure. This all leads us to working harder, buying more, with the idea that happiness is just within reach.
It's only when we pause and truly connect to ourselves when we find what happiness is all about. It's in the small things, like drinking tea while watching at the rain outside, enjoying a good book, or going on a hiking trip with our partner to enjoy the beauty of the planet that we live on (but yet so often forget to appreciate). Only by spending money on things like this, it has a true value to us.
Thank you for being an inspiration to me, to all of us.
Wow thank you for sharing your insightful words Debbie 🙏 😊 Life is definitely a dance.
Thanks for this video and the series. I'm on my way to get rid off of nonsense and "too much" of everything from my life. I know it's gonna be a long journey and I'm sure I'll embrace each and every steps towards what's essential to me
Good luck Mimi, so happy to know we’re not alone! 😊
Thank you for sharing your story, Ann :) I enjoyed the entire 29 minutes of the video although I'm sure you took a long time editing it :)
Lol It’s so hard to edit down a hour long conversation to just 1/2 the time. thank you! 😊💕🙏
I love this channel!! I love everything you are about and the message that you’re spreading. You have helped me realize how powerful minimalism is and how it’s not just about aesthetics or a pretty Pinterest board. Thank you for your honesty and genuine nature. Many blessings to you and I can’t wait to see what your channel holds for the future!
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙏💕 It really means so much!
Dear Ann! I have been your follower for years! And I have always seen that you are a bit deeper person than many top YT bloggers. I wish I had a close friend who shares the same values as you do. I really enjoyed watching your series about minimalism. I absolutely agree with you. I don't invest in brand bc I want ppl to see me first of all, I don't want to be masked by a fancy T-shirt. Good luck Ann!
Thank you for sharing this!!!! I love your content. 💕💕💕 glad you are doing better!
Hi Ann, thank for being you, and I really mean it. I experience your videos as refreshing and equal to ray of sunshine. I’m happy for you in defining for yourself what financial freedom means. Have a great great day!
omg ann i've been subscribed to you for almost 10 years now, since i was 11 years old! your video just popped up on my subscription feed and i just wanted to say i'm so proud of you. thank you so much for this series
Thank you Rishika!!! Can’t believe it’s been that long!!! 😊💕
I really enjoyed this video. I love that you’re not afraid to be your true self. I just recently found your channel and am excited about your content. I am on my journey to minimalism and I feel like it’s a bit all over the place. Getting rid of all the physical and visual clutter as well as trying to disconnect from wanting more unnecessary things. I’m looking forward to the day where it’s feels easier and freeing. It really does take up a lot of time dealing with it all. I love learning from others who have been or are also on this journey. Thank you for the valuable content and for sharing your journey. ❤️ Looking forward to your next video. :)
Thank you for sharing your story KT 😊 I hope you will enjoy the process. It can be tough at first because it’s like breaking up with your old habits but after feeling so light and free, you will want to dance in joy! 😄💕
Thank you so much for opening up about your path. It just shows how much growth & wisdom that comes with age, this too is my path.
I connect with so much of what you said. I'm a long time subscriber and I'm so inspired by your growth. Sending so much love and positivity your way! ❤️
Thank you Afrin! I appreciate you! 💕💕💕😊
Hi Ann, thanks for sharing your story with us through this series. It’s encouraging to hear you found financial freedom from this platform, and that it reenergized you. I love that for you, and congratulations! So much of your story resonated with me, growing up without much, feeling alone, feeling I gotta work hard for money.
I wanted to be an artist as well, but the belief that “artists starve” left a huge impression on me, so I studied computer science and worked as a software developer. It hurt my soul, but I left that situation bc it wasn’t serving me, growing me, or making me happy.
I’d like to walk a similar path as yours on UA-cam, but I guess the discouraging part is hearing about the networking and how shallow people in the industry seem. I guess that’s just business, and I’ll learn it as it comes up. I’m sure not all the people are shallow, but how important do you think it is for the success of a channel to be involved / network with other influencers?
I could also relate to the naïveté and being overly trusting and getting my heart broken, and I’m learning discernment and detachment, but I totally appreciate your thoughts. Also, would you be open to mentoring someone... say, me? 😁
Thanks for your time!
Thank you so much for the beautiful vibes you shared ❤
I loved it and it helpes with my own journey 🌸 making little steps that are guided by owr hearts will make a great deference and we have to keep in mind that we don't have to be hard on our selves during this beautiful journey that is full with challenges . We should enjoy it and just live and be 🍀
I wish you all the best
Thank you for such beautiful and kind words! 🙏🧡
Thank you for this wonderful video Ann 🤩🙏🏼 this was such an eye opening video and helped my think about my own relationship with money and my minimalism journey ✨❤️
Appreciate your honesty! You’re so brave to share this part of your story 💕
Thank you for sharing your story. So inspirational. ❤
Thank you for sharing this series Ann. 💗
Thank you for this series. So brave of you to share so much and be transparent. I appreciate what you have been through and the path you are on now. Looking forward to what you post next. Wishing you love, joy and peace.
Thank you love! I appreciate you!
wow Ann! I was about cry listening to your struggles and how you overcame hardships to have a successful life. Thank you for inspiring me to save money and be wise with it. God bless you and may his loving hands be upon you always. Love you Ann
That means so much Aviva 🙏 I truly appreciate your kindness 😊💕
this is so inspiring. thank you for sharing this ❤️
Hi Ann! Been watched your videos here & there until comes across this one. Idk what to say but I feel I’m not alone. And I feel everyone has their own stories and I hope everyone out there be kind to others because you really don’t know what they have been through.
I love how your honesty you are & very open to tell us your stories and explain of why you are doing what you do & all your thoughts through out the journey. This makes us (audiences) feel connected at some part of yours. Well done
I appreciate you 🙏💕 Thank you for the lovely thoughts!
Thank you for this series. I'm purging clothes that no longer feel good and I haven't touched. I totally relate on making videos for UA-cam. I used UA-cam to heal during some rough times, and connect with genuine people. Before diving into UA-cam I made a strong boundary of deleting negative comments right away and keep it positive and informative. The whole series I can relate to your journey. Look forward to your next series or video!
Thank you Christine. I’m happy to hear how you are taking control of your situation and not letting those exterior influences bring you down! 😊
Ms Ann❤️excellent series!!
Thank you for sharing your this, it truly was inspiring
You find out who people really are when they don’t get what they want. When it comes to friends, it’s better to have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. This is a great video on how we all need to educate ourselves on the basics of finance. You would be shocked how many people were not taught about it and how that lack of knowledge travels into the next generation. I identified with so many of the things you said. When you spoke about the money/status subject, I was like “YES... she gets it too”. Thank you for posting this video Ann!!!
Love that analogy of 4 quarters over 100 pennies! Lol so true! 😊💕🙏
I think minimalism fits me and I'm realizing I have been too hard on myself ( thinking I need to have more because I can afford it) 🤔
I’m new to ur channel, thank you for this video
I feel overwhelmed and stressed so much Lately, I feel like I’m spending my time and energy to the wrong place and a lot of ‘maybe’ come to mind. So difficult to manage job, hobby that I love and being a mum...sometimes I feel like don’t doing well any of them. Still try to find a balance here. Anyway, thanks so much for your friendly and open talk, it’s like you gave us a nice hug...I’m going to send one back to you even if virtual. Continue like this, you are a great person 🤗
Thank you for the virtual hug! It means so much 💕 You are a strong woman and beautiful person 😊💕
Thanks for sharing your story with your relationship with money. I think it's important that we talk about it but so many of us hesitate to bring it up!
We have been letting it run our lives for too long.
Thank you
I’m going through the same thing with friendship. It’s hard to come to the truth of people’s motives 😔 I feel like it’s so hard to trust people now but at the same time I just want some true friends and I don’t know how to find that.
I hear You 100! Well done for finally taking charge of your life & overcoming obstacles.
I`m very sorry, that you had to experience the things that you`ve talked about. I keep asking myself why so many people are so disappointing and bad... don`t they know, that they effect their own life, too? They cause that they interact only with bad people and good ones like you change direction - but "you get what you deserve", right?! I still want to believe in karma.
I just wat to tell you that it is really inspiring how you reflect your life and what steps you made in order to be and feel authentically you.
R - E - S - P - E - C - T (spelled, please :-)
And I feel the authenticity you achieved. You seem to be true and real and just ok with yourself. It`s a pleasure to see you relaxed like this. I remember the tea talk video out of your car where you talked about your resentment towards your mother etc. and I`m truely some kind of proud of you how you developed and chose the way to yourself and to happiness although it wasn`t an easy one. Now I understand myself a little bit more, why I watch your videos for years now - even though you didn`t make deep content videos then, you`re just not that kind of suface level type, and I think I always felt that. I liked the videos the most where you showed more of the real Anne. But now I like your videos even more and they somehow accompany my developement in life, too, so I can relate to you. The older we get, the less stuff we need and the more truth we want.
Kisses and greets to the west! Your true follower.
I subsribed to your channel many years ago. I didn't check in to your channel for a while. Then I was start wondering what's you are up to so came by to check out your channel. This video is really good , I start to think am I spoiling myself too much. I should be more conscious on my wants. I should stop buying unnecessary things.
It’s already amazing that you want to change for the better. Don’t be too hard on yourself! Thank you for being with me this long! 💕💕💕
I was so moved by your story. I know what it means to be betrayed by people I thought were friends, but they used me and left me one day, and also tried to destroy my career and my reputation. I'm trying to forgive them, because in the end, losing them was the best thing in my life. Now I know what I want and what I DON'T want to be.
It takes a lot to try and forgive. I really admire your strength for that ! 💪💕
💜
This is for fourth times that I refer to this site but couldn't enter it.
My parents never have much and I always feel like I wanted more and it gonna make me happy, but two years ago I realize buying things constantly don’t make me happy. Every now and then I’ll spoil myself, but I am more focus to saving money to buy my own house and have more money save into retirement.
Your parents worked hard so you could have more now as an adult. Not just more in money but peace of mind, focus, dedication, friendships, success. 😊❤
That is 💯 true, they took a risk for our future 🙏
Can I be to your friend?
😊🙏💕
Jesus is what you are missing. 🌼🌼🌼
