    Thank you for sharing your story. I’m 53 and have been from my job since Jan. 5, 2024. Still unemployed and I’ve been having a hard time getting another one. I have been asking God what am I doing wrong and will my age hinder me from getting employment. Your journey is inspiring. I’ve been praying and keeping my faith strong. It’s hard but God. Thank you again. ❤

      I am sorry to hear you’re going thru a rough patch. My advise would be to focus on the things you can control. Manifest and pray for the life you want and desire. I have faith that you will come out of this more joyful and fulfilled. Stay strong and focused.
      I appreciate your support.

    It's difficult to face such a drastic change, but I've learned that every chapter that closes is an indication that a better chapter is opening. It isn't always easy starting from scratch, but once you find your new groove, you'll understand why those things fell apart.

    This is my first time seeing any of your videos. My dear dear Sista, the same thing happened to me at the age of 51 and after 17 years on my corporate job at JPMorgan Chase. That was in 2006. I spent many years doing nothing. STUCK, BOUND, feeling like I was in chains. When I was able to receive S.S. I took it. My husband pretty much supported me since then. We lost our home during that time, and then my husband lost his job at Superior court. Ohhhh what a dark time it was. But we got through it. Thank you for sharing my dear Sista.

    Good morning. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I'm 48 now. I'm in debt and I want out of it. Yes please make a video about that. I'm working for a company that is toxic. I don't like my job anymore. In this economy I'm grateful. I'm not paid what I'm worth. There is ZERO growth except if you are of a certain skin color. I mean that. There was a massive email sent with over 10 new appointments yet not 1 job was posted, jobs were basically created and all the appointees are of the same skin color. It's sick. There is no room for growth. You aren't offered anything unless you're that desired pigment. I can't even prove it but I know. We worked remote for over 4 years & was recently told to come back to office full time, no hybrid. I asked for different work schedule since I'm not home and it was denied. I was told my position doesn't allow for that time slot. Get into the office & 2 people who share that same skin color as all the managers work that shift. We all do the same job, with the same job title. I asked about it and was told I was being too sensitive. It's time to go. I can't find anything right now that's suitable. Plus with debt over my head I can't just walk away. I have a feeling inside that struck me driving to work today that I'm going to be let go. I don't know why. I don't trust them. I'm there for a check that's all. I'm going through this shift, a but frightened, I don't feel like starting over but something needs to change BIG TIME. I probably should have put this in a journal, I just purged, lol please share all that your comfortable with. I'll be peaying for direction and guidance.

    Got laid off my job when I was 45, after working for city government for 16 years; relocated 2x finished a Master's degree, worked 10 years for State government (quit), after looking for work for over a year, just landed a teaching job and decided to study for my teacher's certification, and afterwards will be studying for my 2nd Master's degree towards an LMHC. What I've learned out of mines: It's not Failure until you stop moving forward, Faith is Having Confidence in what you don't know, but through the One that you do know (God), lastly, Take The Risk! Keep going!

    I am 49 now. Moved to a new state October 2021. Worked remotely and ended up leaving the best paying job I have ever had in January 2022 because I became so overwhelmed and burned out with working so much over time.
    It is now almost the end of 2024, unemployed, and still feeling stuck and very scared. I was always a go getter and now I feel like I do not recognize myself anymore. I feel completely lost in life. I am so glad you were able to push forward and get through those dark times.

      If you really enjoyed the job but not the overtime, and you left in good terms, check back with the company and see if they have a similar position available. It doesn’t hurt. I continuously checked the job openings of the company that laid me off. When it was God’s timing, the right one for me at this phase of my life literally landed on my lap. Don’t give up or get discouraged. You’re in your cocoon season getting ready for bigger and better. Stay the course and stay ficused.

In today's job markets, working at a organizations is now transactional, because work as changed into a transaction and business needs, versus in the past where work was more empathy. We are in a new global downsizing where, other people are losing jobs and are hitting rock bottom. Its people like you who are there to help the broken 💔 and confused,thru your natural experiences, prayers and manifestation. Thank you

I thought I was “stuck” for over a year but in reality I was in my cocoon phase. I needed to be in that dark and lonely place. It’s what God had designed for me.

    Sis, I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason. I think you were going through the process of transition. Some people feel depression, etc but some of this is a part of the process of being "saved". Saved from your toxic environment, toxic people at work, oncoming health conditions, drinking, etc. I believe if you gave your all to someone else's vision and dream for 16 years, you have what it takes to be on TOP.....of everything, even if it's your own business. God bless you and your family.

    Been laid off 3 times. Twice in one year! But I refused to go down. And yes, listening to podcasts, self improvement (listen to a lot of Les Brown too) during those times helped quite a bit because it causes you to think differently. In those times, you don't need to think 'realistic' or this is BS because your current reality is already screwed up. You need to think about how your life could be and what things in your life are getting in the way. I have always had to promote myself as I have only been promoted twice in almost 30 years of work. I had to know my worth! Thanks for the vid!

Focus on the things you can control and give zero energy or attention to anything that is toxic, negative and doesn’t serve you in accomplishing your goals. Focus and put your energy on the things that you can control! Wishing you all of the best. I appreciate your support 🦋

But decided to get my life together!! I haven’t really worked out in a year. I put my focus on everyone else except me. My health was going down the drain, but I’ve been thinking about starting a fitness journey and getting back on track in my relationship with God.

Although it was stressful, I walked away, knowing that I lived up to my end of my agreement.

    I am 49 now and due to a series of unfortunate events i found myself unable to find a place that was within my budget and animal friendly. A year ago. People turned their back on me and for the first time in life i just felt so utterly alone. It was the darkest time for me but in that time i found Jesus and my whole world has been turned upside down in a good way! Whether my situation was good or bad… i have changed. Jesus was in my heart and i had a feeling of being so in love and due to me changing my surroundings changed. Because i was so bitter and felt sorry for myself before. And i dont quite know how to walk the path with Him yet but darn what a beautiful time to be a alive. I am learning every day. And i live with gratitude now. The love i was seeking was His love. And i forgave people.

      I'm completely alone, too. My husband died last year, no friends, no family where I live. I was suffering most of this year from what I called "a crushing loneliness." I finally let myself go deep into understanding myself, having compassion for myself, and validating all my feelings and fears for myself. Something happened that I can't fully understand. I gradually started to be ok with being alone. I do a lot of self care regarding healthful food, exercise, and sleep. That has helped tremendously. I hope you can begin to feel the positive aspects of having the time and space for self reflection. I've learned being alone can help erase the effects of stressful years and initiate a time of personal growth. ❤️😊

When my son was hospitalized due to heart failure , had surgery, and passed away after 2 months in the hospital, I was devastated. God helped me to overcome my grief and kept me going , I think about my son every day, and I know that he is with God, which helps me to carry on. PSALM 118 : 8 " It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. "

      I felt stuck just like you are right now. What helped me was surrendering that pain, experience and heartache and truly opening myself up for new blessings and opportunities. When we hold on to those old memories and relive those experiences in our minds, we suffocate the possibility of blessings to enter. We need to make room for them and the only way is to truly let go of what was. Focus on what could be. Manifest, pray and claim the life you dream & desire. They will come. You have to make room in your heart and mind for them first. Wishing you all the best. Take care of yourself. I appreciate your support. 🦋

      It’s a hard place to be but the joy you feel when you come out on the other side of it all happier and at peace. I appreciate your support. 🦋

    Your "home" button says that your channel has no content. You should fix that. Thanks for sharing.

    I have heard similar stories and witnessed similar stories from people I know. I went back to school to do psychology because I have always wanted to do psychology and also because you never know what the future holds
