My advice is don't be afraid to cut off toxic people. It's cathartic and frequently they don't have any intention of changing or otherwise bettering themselves.
I got a few of those people around. They seem to intentionally leave me on read but act normal in person. Starring to seem like a low quality friendship to me.
A few months ago i got a disrespectful text from a person i used to consider an acquaintance (at one point i thought we were friends). I used to work at the same company as him. I noticed when i talked with this person i would get frustrated. They were always right. Never admitted when I was trying to get them to see they were wrong about something. The thing that did it for me was a text saying that they thought it was funny how i reacted when i got laid off from my job of almost 6 years!! They were literally making fun of me for not idk laughing it off. That is like the most disrespectful thing you can ever do so someone. Kick them while they are down, that is not a friend at all. After the text I just thought why do i even entertain this. They haven't reached out since and I don't really care. You are right that person has no intention to change.
@TritonTv69420 Most people at work are just work friends. They are in your life while you're there, but will not continue the relationship afterward. Coworkers are viewed as expandable. They come and go often! You can find a few great relationships per an employer but I would temper your expectations. It's a game of numbers now a days
I agree. I have cut off a lot of people last months and I feel like i got rid of so much negativity and people trying to ue me for their own selfish gain. Now I only have a small friend group which are way more supportive in what I do with youtube and streaming compared to those others.
I'm 31 now, and the main thing I learned in my 20s was how to value myself. If you say yes to everything and bend over backwards to do things for people (particularly in a professional setting) they'll walk all over you, under pay you and never appreciate what you do. I had to start saying no, and setting boundaries before people started taking me seriously and paying me what I was worth. Thanks for this video, your story is inspiring and your advice is invaluable for those who still have to walk that path.
I appreciate this 'From the Heart' video Sara. I meant to drop off this video when I submitted my earlier comment - but I just couldn't as you started into this great video. I am recently retired from my career as computer security professional, and I am now focusing on my 'Golden Years', and working on my RUclips Channel as a person who has been told he has a knack for teaching, trying to help those who do not feel comfortable with computer technology. I have four adult children, ages 33, 37, 28 and 41 (two female, and two male). They are all quite successful in their current careers, and have given me two grandchildren. All I want to do now is help others improve their lives - honestly, and I am always thinking of new ways to help them do that. Take care Sara, and I really wish you, your spouse, and your daughter the best in life. Faith and hard work needs to be rewarded.
i'm 39 now and the main thing to learn from 30's is exactly the same, but with awareness of all the things you have experienced and those you want to live. Work hard, focus on yourself, on your family and of course, dream, dream big, but make it happen.
First off: happy birthday!!! I"m a 56 yr old and got something out of this video! From my experience I can tell you that if you keep that momentum from your 20's and 30's there is no end to what you can do! life is pretty much the same now as it was in my 30's and that's a good thing. I have had regrets about the past and immediately smacked myself into the present as i'm here however imperfect here happens to be!
I’m turning 26 in December and I feeling like I can relate with this video so much I put so much pressure on myself dormice I was in collage . To the point where I feel like I have not really enjoyed the last 4-5 years of my life and think I know what I should do but it’s really scary. Trying to be perfect all the time is not good for any progress at all is what I have noticed .
Same turning 26 in Jan and feel as if I wasted my early 20s and now im in the latter have and haven't really "lived" yet... school was isolating and now I have a job im like..."is this it" until I retire??? nooooo I hope not ;/
This why you're my favorite youtuber! The way youre so honest and vulnerable is always so aspiring from the facade of content creation and influencing. As college athlete whoses been feeling lost and under pressure. Your life videos are so reassuring especially seing how strong you've gotten throughout this year!! Much love for you and your fam! Happy birthday!!
As a newly turned 30 year old the line you said about being chaotic but intentional gave me a sigh of relief that yeh it seemed very random but knowing what I know now my 30's will be full of real thought through decisions.
I’m 22 and since a couple of years ago I have been a fan of your work and learned a lot from you. Thanks for always being an inspiration and for sharing this valuable knowledge, you’re an amazing human being! 🙌🏻
Sara I am 65 years old and have been a (now it is called) Software Engineer for 40 years. I am here to tell you, for me life has been like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes it is absolutely wonderful and sometimes it sucks. But in general, it keeps getting better and better dealing with stress as you age. As you go through lives' experiences and make it through them in-tack you realize that I can handle this when the next challenge comes up. You also know when to say no and yes much better as you get older. Don't be afraid of getting older, it rocks. I was in a motorcycle accident this year, a bad one. But because of my age I just have rolled with it. If I was 20 or 30 when this happened, I would have worried about so many things that never became a problem to begin with. Keep on creating and doing what you love, and you will live a happy life. The rest of it is none of my business or problem.
It's amazing to see you grow through your life, I still remember when I first known your channel back on 2016. It's amazing to see you a mother now. It's wired to say it but I am proud of you and I am so excited for you!
Been following you since 300k subs (ish). It's so great to hear your story in this kind of video. The fact you're tickling a million subs just shows how honest your stuff is!
Great video Sara, I've been watching you since i'm 15(i'm turning 22 this year), i always hear from a lot of people to just stay on the safe side especially in your 20s, but i wanna break out as a creator, and i know experimenting during this phase of my life is the best choice I've got, this is the only time i can do anything i want without worrying about other people I''m definitely gonna incorporate those 4 Things into my life, thank you so much also Happy Birthday
Happy birthday Sara 🎉, I went back and watched the videos that introduced me to your channel back when you were at 300K and there was definitely a change from "doing YT bc she loves it Sara" to "being way too hard on herself with all the corporate/brand bs Sara" so hearing that you're taking a step back from all that to manage your stress is so heartwarming 😭 Proud of you and how far you've come from when I started watching you in 2017. Excited to see where you go next 🫡
"I'm just happy" Been watching you for years and I turn 30 in 11 months. Glad to see you come out stronger! Therapy has been a blessing for me and my career as well.
Love this. Just the honesty. I'm 21 and doing and learning a lot. What I notice is that your twenty's is just the beginning. My emotions are developing exponential and every now and then I feel overwhelmed. What helps me is this kind of content to receive conformation; I'm doing just fine. Thanks for making this vid. Love to see more!
So excited for you to experience your 30’s! When you look back at your 20’s, year after year, life only keeps getting better and better! We are so lucky to get to age. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, can totally apply to all of us at any age 😊
29 here and I resonate so much with this. The one thing I will say is when you think you have a dream, see how long it stays with you and act on it when you think your experiences have prepared you. When I was 21, I first got into podcasting about pro wrestling and wanting to cover it and interview folks. Fast forward 8 years, I was able to expand on that dream working with multiple outlets, got to interview wrestlers from TV and independent companies, made my commentator debut locally, got to attend multiple trips as press including a press conference, and just got to finally do work with WWE. It doesn't matter that it took almost all of my 20s to make something major happen. It matters that I didn't stop trying to make it happen. As I'm embarking on my 30th birthday next June, it'll be interesting to see what new goals I'm going to have for this next chapter of life.
Being more emotional after having kids... i can relate. That never stops, it only gets "worse" over time. And organizing your life to be present in time, body and spirit with your loved ones (especially your kids) is a choice I'm most happy with and will never ever regret. The tradeoffs are (in the end) inconsequential. Thanks for letting me follow your journey for quite some time now. It truly was an intense decade just by watching from afar. Wishing you a great decade to come. Looking forward to the 4 things at 40 video 😏
I hated turning thirty for a year. I guess it represented my failure to achieve all the things I hoped to by that age. Then I went on to have the best decade of my life.
I'm 22 and as stupid as it may sound, sometimes I feel old, as if I should've accomplished all of my dreams by now. This video feels like a hug. You're a huge inspiration and I hope to be in a similar place as you once I turn 30
Thanks Sarah for everything!!!Been watching your videos since i was a "complicated" tennager 😂 and now that im in my 20s,your videos feel like a light house to my life whenever i feel like im getting overwhelmed.Thank you soo much!!!
I am about to turn 26 in january, and I thought my time in my 20s to buckle down and work on my dreams was basically over. This video woke me up, thank you so much
The last part about being lonely because you were learning a lot of skills really touched deep with me. I had a really similar experience, played a fuck ton of guitar, learned to mix, produce with logic and edit with final cut. It made me fail a lot of school exams and sacrificing 2 years of my education, luckily I was a bit careless and this didn’t stop me from partying a lot with my friends. At 21 I started my career as a TV audio engineer, almost always said yes to every opportunity and I wouldn’t change a thing. Now I’m almost 32 and like you said: “you can’t have anything, but you can have a lot”. Amazing video a lot of young people feeling lost should hear stories like this one.
My God, I needed this today, I am 23 and it's been year since I am finding a job. This video popped up in my feed. Thank you so much ❤. It helped me sleep today which I was unable to do from past 2 days.
Awesome vid as always! thanks for the inspiration 😁 I'm about to turn 29 and going through the paces of shifting the direction of my career, so your words are endearing and motivating! Thanks Sara
My goodness I appreciate you so much. Always giving what is needed so often. So thank you for this, as tough as it may have been, I appreciate it always! You are a true gem.
Go Sara! You and John genuinely have been such an inspiration to me for many years, so thankful to have seen how your passion and creativity has evolved over time. I turned 24 yesterday and I'm so thankful to have spend most of the last four years learning and creating things that I'm passionate about, very much in part thanks to creators like you and many others. I've got a long way to go but I 100% agree, if you're just starting out in your 20's don't be afraid to be the weird person with the weird job and the weird creative interests. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! You're going to be wonderful parents!
Love this advice Sara! Definitely been having similar feelings as I approach 30 and it's crazy when you have the time to reflect on life. Taking risks is interesting because we don't know how it'll play out in the end. But it's better to take risks than to have regrets 20-30 years from now. It's been great seeing your growth over the years and you've been a big inspiration for me to pursue a creative lifestyle. Looking forward to your next chapter!
I think I’m one of the rare commenters still in their 20’s (I turned 22 earlier this year) and I’ll be sure to take up this advice! having lived alone has really taught me a lot but hearing how little I’ve had experienced of my 20’s was really humbling 😂 thank you for this video and the vulnerability Sara!! been a huge fan since 2017 and I can’t believe so many years later that I’d have learnt so much from you not just about tech but about life too, keep up the awesome work!!
Happy birthday. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished so far and everything you’ll do in the future. Also as a 15yo this video is helpful for me too.
Sara! I’m so so happy for you and so excited to stick around for this new chapter after watching your last couple of videos. I am hoping to have my first baby soon and I also have ADHD, and I was worried about how time management will be for me after - but your experience of being able to be productive in your limited time precisely because it’s so limited resonated with me and gives me hope that I will have a similar experience!
NICU families unite! Man that multi-month NICU life is not for the weak! It took so much for us. My wife stayed there and I had the other kid at home so it was like months of being a single parent making scary life-and-death decisions regularly. But if any of you find yourselves in a similar situation, you can and will make it through. We get it and we see you.
I wouldn’t trade my 30s for anything. All the trauma and angst of my 20s helped me get through my 30s. I wish I had this advice for 20yo me. Happy birthday, Sara!!!
Happy birthday, Sara Peachy! The two things I wish I knew in my 20s was... - Cut toxic people out of your life including those that talk trash about you behind your back - Financial education. We aren't all taught how to do the basic stuff that wealthy people do and that causes a lot of us to be stressed about money.
Sara, hen I saw your tears, mine started too. Twenty-one years ago, my baby girl spent 3 months in the NICU. Our experience was not the same, but I remember the fear and the pain. This Mom sends you hugs.
I'm only one minute in. I've been watching your videos here and there for several years now. Your energy seems far more full of light than in years past. I know you've been through lots of things (you and John both) in the last few years, but you seem to be wearing wisdom well.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. I am 23 and loved hearing your advice, you should be featured on TED talk!!! This was super helpful for me ❣️
When I first started watching your content, it was primarily for the tech, cause, thats my thing. I didnt expect it to be so much more. Thanks for sharing and your perspective as its helped me way more than I can say.
I am proud to say that I graduated from the usual 6 month recurent burnout, to waking up in the middle of the night with blood pouring from my forehead. After two months and countless medical tests, the doctors sayd I should sleep more, rest better, less stress, the neurologist recommended church. None told me they would cover the bill :))))))))) Your doc gives you a 5000 usd bill for a days work, and says: relax. Everything is getting more expensive Dr. X, that's why I'm working myself to death!!! So I can't tell you to take it easier, I do believe you did the right thing working yourself in your twenties, to hopefully set you up for a less demanding workflow from now on. Sleep if you can, nap in the afternoon, if you can....
Σε παρακολουθώ εδώ και μερικά χρόνια είσαι ένας υπέροχος άνθρωπος χωρίς κόμπλεξ να κοιτάζεις το παιδί σου και τον εαυτό σου και άσε τι λέει ο κόσμος για σένα συνέχισε και μη σταματάς για κανένα λόγο είσαι υπέροχη
Happy birthday Sara!! 🎉It was great sharing all these insights with us! Sometimes I wish I had someone in my 20s to talk to me the way you just did, but hey, we all do mistakes in life. Nobody’s perfect, so we keep learning from each one of them. Some people will always be luckier than others, and we shouldn’t be focusing on the others but on how to improve ourselves. There will always be things that we can’t control and things that w can. Focus on the latter…
Just finished watching a second time only to see the lessons written at the end this time, but thank you for making this video! I appreciate it. Been watching you since 2020 actually.
I loved this video! Appreciate the authenticity here! This is a great piece of content that you'll be able to look back on and that will never not be relevant in helping people out! Wish I would have seen this when I entered my 20's! But you gotta enjoy the journey while you are on it, which it seems like you have!
Happy Birthday Sara! I really loved the video! Great tips! Wish you all the best in your life and career! I am turning 29 tomorrow and my dream is to also be a content creator. You are a huge inspiration to all of us! I am an introvert as well and I like to be alone and focus on my dream. I hope that all of us will accomplish our dreams! ✌️❤️
First happy birthday! Knowing when to let go of things that are not working is a valuable skill. Many people don't grasp that concept; they believe that pushing a little harder will make it work. If not for you is not for you. Why waste time that you are not going to get back?
As a 33 year old that played things tooooo safe in my 20s I can attest to all of the above. It’s the best feeling to pursue something you’re passionate about and watch it flourish before your eyes. Be intentional. Have a purpose and don’t go into debt lol
It's very easy to say "you're in control" when you look back at it, but it's extremely hard to believe it when you're in the middle of the mess. Anyway thanks a lot for this video it came in much needed time
I am going through this lately as I am 24 and starting to have that mid-20s freakout lol. It seems like my entire early 20s was wrecked by going to college during COVID (I graduated in 2021 but really only had one year without covid as I only did 3 years). Then, I got the job I could in like an admin role and have had such a hard time getting out of it. I had an opportunity in my dream field but I ruined it as the commute was so brutal I had to quit. Now trying again, everything wants experience but won't value the education piece and I am just not an entrepreneur to like run my own thing to "show" I have experience. I have run through so many things at this point that I just need to stick with something but it is hard when you just don't see a path. I feel very all over the place and scattered lol because I just don't want to spend years developing skills for no payoff when I kind of feel like that's what I've been doing. Not only that lost all my friends, not had a relationship and am still living at home which has made it a very emotional 20s so far lol. Really hoping 25 and after good stuff happens lol 😅
I can't even see my twenties in the rear view mirror any more but I do remember them. I would love to have watched this video as a twenty year old. More power to you, Sara. Keep on doing you.
I wish I just knew myself more when I was in my 20s. I found what I was going to do for the rest of my working life, started and dropped out of college, and started a family. There's only a few things I'd do differently because if I change too much I wouldn't have my wife and son.
I loved this video so much. I def needed to hear this. Thank you for being so open. You can't believe how much this video means to me. Thank you thank you thank you and Happy Birthday.
I have been following you and watching your videos since mid-2015 and I'm turning 30 in January 2025. I left my 9-5 day job in June 2018. Went full-time freelance. The covid happened, affected my small freelance photography biz. The AI-happened, affected my online freelance editing biz. Went back to the 9-5 day job grind in 2024 just to try things up and because I really want to invest on an M1 MacBook Pro or at least an M1 iPad Pro or a mini 6 to learn some 3D modeling OTG while doing some photo & video editing work for clients again. (My 2020 Intel MacBook Pro just cannot haha) Now I'm planning to leave my 9-5 day job again to look for a part-time job because I really started to notice that this full-time 9-5 day job thing, is just killing me big-time because I don't have control with my time and life like I used to back when I was a full-time freelancer, and it's just really not for me. My overall health just cannot take it. Seeing this video, seeing you talk to us like this, I'm happy to know that I'm not alone. Because I really don't have much "friends". They're more like colleagues to me. I'm almost pretty much at home. But I think I prefer it like that than having to deal with fake peeps. Lol
I turned 30 a few months ago. I spent all my 20's working in the same job, and playing it extra safe. I still learnt stuff, but now I'm 30 and feel like I need to catch up and experience new things (different job, new locations). It sucks a little as I feel like I wasted a lot of time, and most people expect you to have a family in your 30s and start settling down, but I feel like I've only just woken up.
Loved this video. I am turning 49 and I too am experiencing new chapters. I didn't think it was possible at my age like are we settled yet? Here I am though thinking of the next and new. Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing your heart.
It’s crazy, that I always felt I want kids even tho I was in my 20. as a male and when I told a girl that , they were so fascinated and sayed why can’t my boyfriend say such things. But I never felt like I wasted my time, not often around on instagram and it’s so good. When you see people around you doing stuff and you’re not it’s messing with your head.
My advice is don't be afraid to cut off toxic people. It's cathartic and frequently they don't have any intention of changing or otherwise bettering themselves.
I got a few of those people around. They seem to intentionally leave me on read but act normal in person. Starring to seem like a low quality friendship to me.

I love vulnerable Sara. My favorite. So proud of you. Here’s to the next decade. It’s epic! ❤️
15:23 "You can't have it all, but you can have a lot." Happy birthday, Sara! I'm enjoying your candid videos and advice!
i'm 39 now and the main thing to learn from 30's is exactly the same, but with awareness of all the things you have experienced and those you want to live. Work hard, focus on yourself, on your family and of course, dream, dream big, but make it happen.
Happy birthday, Sara Dietschy ! I turned 30 last month in July.
First off: happy birthday!!! I"m a 56 yr old and got something out of this video! From my experience I can tell you that if you keep that momentum from your 20's and 30's there is no end to what you can do! life is pretty much the same now as it was in my 30's and that's a good thing. I have had regrets about the past and immediately smacked myself into the present as i'm here however imperfect here happens to be!
I'm 39 and dad to an 8 month old girl. It's such a good feeling being a dad and I don't feel I waited too long. Congrats on your baby girl too.
I’m turning 26 in December and I feeling like I can relate with this video so much I put so much pressure on myself dormice I was in collage . To the point where I feel like I have not really enjoyed the last 4-5 years of my life and think I know what I should do but it’s really scary. Trying to be perfect all the time is not good for any progress at all is what I have noticed .
Same turning 26 in Jan and feel as if I wasted my early 20s and now im in the latter have and haven't really "lived" yet... school was isolating and now I have a job im like..."is this it" until I retire??? nooooo I hope not ;/
This why you're my favorite youtuber! The way youre so honest and vulnerable is always so aspiring from the facade of content creation and influencing. As college athlete whoses been feeling lost and under pressure. Your life videos are so reassuring especially seing how strong you've gotten throughout this year!!
Much love for you and your fam! Happy birthday!!
As a newly turned 30 year old the line you said about being chaotic but intentional gave me a sigh of relief that yeh it seemed very random but knowing what I know now my 30's will be full of real thought through decisions.
I love that Sara is becoming our tech mom in the best way possible!
I’m 22 and since a couple of years ago I have been a fan of your work and learned a lot from you.
Thanks for always being an inspiration and for sharing this valuable knowledge, you’re an amazing human being! 🙌🏻
Sara I am 65 years old and have been a (now it is called) Software Engineer for 40 years. I am here to tell you, for me life has been like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes it is absolutely wonderful and sometimes it sucks. But in general, it keeps getting better and better dealing with stress as you age. As you go through lives' experiences and make it through them in-tack you realize that I can handle this when the next challenge comes up. You also know when to say no and yes much better as you get older. Don't be afraid of getting older, it rocks. I was in a motorcycle accident this year, a bad one. But because of my age I just have rolled with it. If I was 20 or 30 when this happened, I would have worried about so many things that never became a problem to begin with.

It's amazing to see you grow through your life, I still remember when I first known your channel back on 2016. It's amazing to see you a mother now. It's wired to say it but I am proud of you and I am so excited for you!
Thats super great advice! It's hard to put the camera down, but I find myself looking at the pine trees more, and that makes me happy.
0:31 Happy Birthday❤️❤️❤️
Been following you since 300k subs (ish). It's so great to hear your story in this kind of video. The fact you're tickling a million subs just shows how honest your stuff is!

I''m definitely gonna incorporate those 4 Things into my life, thank you so much
also Happy Birthday
Happy birthday Sara 🎉, I went back and watched the videos that introduced me to your channel back when you were at 300K and there was definitely a change from "doing YT bc she loves it Sara" to "being way too hard on herself with all the corporate/brand bs Sara" so hearing that you're taking a step back from all that to manage your stress is so heartwarming 😭 Proud of you and how far you've come from when I started watching you in 2017. Excited to see where you go next 🫡
Cool to see you be so vulnerable. Great advice and message. I bet you and John are becoming great parents. Having kids makes everything worth it.
"I'm just happy"
Been watching you for years and I turn 30 in 11 months. Glad to see you come out stronger! Therapy has been a blessing for me and my career as well.
Awesome video thank you for sharing. I am 25. Awesome advice
Love this. Just the honesty. I'm 21 and doing and learning a lot. What I notice is that your twenty's is just the beginning. My emotions are developing exponential and every now and then I feel
overwhelmed. What helps me is this kind of content to receive conformation; I'm doing just fine. Thanks for making this vid. Love to see more!
So excited for you to experience your 30’s! When you look back at your 20’s, year after year, life only keeps getting better and better! We are so lucky to get to age. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, can totally apply to all of us at any age 😊
I loved this video! It's so real, vulnerable, and reflective. But the vulnerability comes from a place of strength. We are proud of you Sara!!
Happy birthday Sara! Enjoy being 30. Time goes by so fast! Don't over think it! Take one day at a time!
Maaaan Your story hit close to Home, one day ill share mine. So glad your ok been Team Peachy for years and we need ya over here ;).
29 here and I resonate so much with this. The one thing I will say is when you think you have a dream, see how long it stays with you and act on it when you think your experiences have prepared you. When I was 21, I first got into podcasting about pro wrestling and wanting to cover it and interview folks. Fast forward 8 years, I was able to expand on that dream working with multiple outlets, got to interview wrestlers from TV and independent companies, made my commentator debut locally, got to attend multiple trips as press including a press conference, and just got to finally do work with WWE. It doesn't matter that it took almost all of my 20s to make something major happen. It matters that I didn't stop trying to make it happen. As I'm embarking on my 30th birthday next June, it'll be interesting to see what new goals I'm going to have for this next chapter of life.
Being more emotional after having kids... i can relate. That never stops, it only gets "worse" over time. And organizing your life to be present in time, body and spirit with your loved ones (especially your kids) is a choice I'm most happy with and will never ever regret. The tradeoffs are (in the end) inconsequential.
Thanks for letting me follow your journey for quite some time now. It truly was an intense decade just by watching from afar. Wishing you a great decade to come. Looking forward to the 4 things at 40 video 😏
I hated turning thirty for a year. I guess it represented my failure to achieve all the things I hoped to by that age. Then I went on to have the best decade of my life.
Happy Birthday Scarlet Witch ❤
I'm 22 and as stupid as it may sound, sometimes I feel old, as if I should've accomplished all of my dreams by now. This video feels like a hug. You're a huge inspiration and I hope to be in a similar place as you once I turn 30
Thanks Sarah for everything!!!Been watching your videos since i was a "complicated" tennager 😂 and now that im in my 20s,your videos feel like a light house to my life whenever i feel like im getting overwhelmed.Thank you soo much!!!
I am about to turn 26 in january, and I thought my time in my 20s to buckle down and work on my dreams was basically over. This video woke me up, thank you so much
I'm quickly approaching 30 (just turned 29 last month), and I agree with and appreciate all of this. Cheers to us! We made it. 🎉
The last part about being lonely because you were learning a lot of skills really touched deep with me. I had a really similar experience, played a fuck ton of guitar, learned to mix, produce with logic and edit with final cut. It made me fail a lot of school exams and sacrificing 2 years of my education, luckily I was a bit careless and this didn’t stop me from partying a lot with my friends. At 21 I started my career as a TV audio engineer, almost always said yes to every opportunity and I wouldn’t change a thing. Now I’m almost 32 and like you said: “you can’t have anything, but you can have a lot”.
Amazing video a lot of young people feeling lost should hear stories like this one.
My God, I needed this today, I am 23 and it's been year since I am finding a job. This video popped up in my feed. Thank you so much ❤. It helped me sleep today which I was unable to do from past 2 days.
Proud of what you have accomplished in the decade. Happy Birthday!
Awesome vid as always! thanks for the inspiration 😁
I'm about to turn 29 and going through the paces of shifting the direction of my career, so your words are endearing and motivating! Thanks Sara
I did all the things Sara said to do in your 20s. She is 100% right.
My goodness I appreciate you so much. Always giving what is needed so often. So thank you for this, as tough as it may have been, I appreciate it always! You are a true gem.
Go Sara! You and John genuinely have been such an inspiration to me for many years, so thankful to have seen how your passion and creativity has evolved over time.
I turned 24 yesterday and I'm so thankful to have spend most of the last four years learning and creating things that I'm passionate about, very much in part thanks to creators like you and many others. I've got a long way to go but I 100% agree, if you're just starting out in your 20's don't be afraid to be the weird person with the weird job and the weird creative interests.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! You're going to be wonderful parents!
Love this advice Sara! Definitely been having similar feelings as I approach 30 and it's crazy when you have the time to reflect on life. Taking risks is interesting because we don't know how it'll play out in the end. But it's better to take risks than to have regrets 20-30 years from now.
It's been great seeing your growth over the years and you've been a big inspiration for me to pursue a creative lifestyle. Looking forward to your next chapter!
I think I’m one of the rare commenters still in their 20’s (I turned 22 earlier this year) and I’ll be sure to take up this advice! having lived alone has really taught me a lot but hearing how little I’ve had experienced of my 20’s was really humbling 😂 thank you for this video and the vulnerability Sara!! been a huge fan since 2017 and I can’t believe so many years later that I’d have learnt so much from you not just about tech but about life too, keep up the awesome work!!
Happy birthday. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished so far and everything you’ll do in the future. Also as a 15yo this video is helpful for me too.
@@TheChannelOfM Thank you man, God Bless ❤️
Sara! I’m so so happy for you and so excited to stick around for this new chapter after watching your last couple of videos. I am hoping to have my first baby soon and I also have ADHD, and I was worried about how time management will be for me after - but your experience of being able to be productive in your limited time precisely because it’s so limited resonated with me and gives me hope that I will have a similar experience!
As someone who has followed you since your NYC days before you blew up, I am very proud of you!
Thank you for this video, Sara. I’m 32, and this wisdom is incredibly valuable outside of your 20s. Keep it up 👍
NICU families unite! Man that multi-month NICU life is not for the weak! It took so much for us. My wife stayed there and I had the other kid at home so it was like months of being a single parent making scary life-and-death decisions regularly. But if any of you find yourselves in a similar situation, you can and will make it through. We get it and we see you.
Happy birthday, Sara. Thanks for the advice.
I wouldn’t trade my 30s for anything. All the trauma and angst of my 20s helped me get through my 30s. I wish I had this advice for 20yo me. Happy birthday, Sara!!!
Happy birthday, Sara Peachy!
The two things I wish I knew in my 20s was...
- Cut toxic people out of your life including those that talk trash about you behind your back
- Financial education. We aren't all taught how to do the basic stuff that wealthy people do and that causes a lot of us to be stressed about money.
Sara, hen I saw your tears, mine started too. Twenty-one years ago, my baby girl spent 3 months in the NICU. Our experience was not the same, but I remember the fear and the pain. This Mom sends you hugs.
I'm only one minute in. I've been watching your videos here and there for several years now. Your energy seems far more full of light than in years past. I know you've been through lots of things (you and John both) in the last few years, but you seem to be wearing wisdom well.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. I am 23 and loved hearing your advice, you should be featured on TED talk!!! This was super helpful for me ❣️
Happy Birthday, Sara.
When I first started watching your content, it was primarily for the tech, cause, thats my thing. I didnt expect it to be so much more. Thanks for sharing and your perspective as its helped me way more than I can say.
I am proud to say that I graduated from the usual 6 month recurent burnout, to waking up in the middle of the night with blood pouring from my forehead.
After two months and countless medical tests, the doctors sayd I should sleep more, rest better, less stress, the neurologist recommended church. None told me they would cover the bill :)))))))))
Your doc gives you a 5000 usd bill for a days work, and says: relax.
Everything is getting more expensive Dr. X, that's why I'm working myself to death!!!
So I can't tell you to take it easier, I do believe you did the right thing working yourself in your twenties, to hopefully set you up for a less demanding workflow from now on.
Sleep if you can, nap in the afternoon, if you can....
Happy birthday Sara! Welcome to 30 ❤🎉 😊
Σε παρακολουθώ εδώ και μερικά χρόνια είσαι ένας υπέροχος άνθρωπος χωρίς κόμπλεξ να κοιτάζεις το παιδί σου και τον εαυτό σου και άσε τι λέει ο κόσμος για σένα συνέχισε και μη σταματάς για κανένα λόγο είσαι υπέροχη
Happy birthday Sara!! 🎉It was great sharing all these insights with us! Sometimes I wish I had someone in my 20s to talk to me the way you just did, but hey, we all do mistakes in life. Nobody’s perfect, so we keep learning from each one of them. Some people will always be luckier than others, and we shouldn’t be focusing on the others but on how to improve ourselves. There will always be things that we can’t control and things that w can. Focus on the latter…
Just finished watching a second time only to see the lessons written at the end this time, but thank you for making this video! I appreciate it. Been watching you since 2020 actually.
I loved this video! Appreciate the authenticity here! This is a great piece of content that you'll be able to look back on and that will never not be relevant in helping people out! Wish I would have seen this when I entered my 20's! But you gotta enjoy the journey while you are on it, which it seems like you have!
I appreciate your sincerity so much Sara, thanks for sharing and happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Sara! I really loved the video! Great tips! Wish you all the best in your life and career! I am turning 29 tomorrow and my dream is to also be a content creator. You are a huge inspiration to all of us! I am an introvert as well and I like to be alone and focus on my dream. I hope that all of us will accomplish our dreams! ✌️❤️
First happy birthday! Knowing when to let go of things that are not working is a valuable skill. Many people don't grasp that concept; they believe that pushing a little harder will make it work. If not for you is not for you. Why waste time that you are not going to get back?
I turn 21 tomorrow on the 12th. And I appreciate the information. :) Also Happy Birthday!!
As a 33 year old that played things tooooo safe in my 20s I can attest to all of the above.
It’s the best feeling to pursue something you’re passionate about and watch it flourish before your eyes. Be intentional. Have a purpose and don’t go into debt lol
It's very easy to say "you're in control" when you look back at it, but it's extremely hard to believe it when you're in the middle of the mess. Anyway thanks a lot for this video it came in much needed time
Lady, you are awesome!! Keep doing it!! You're an inspiration!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!!!!! ❤
This Millennials loved the video and happy for the hearty Sara! thank you
I am going through this lately as I am 24 and starting to have that mid-20s freakout lol. It seems like my entire early 20s was wrecked by going to college during COVID (I graduated in 2021 but really only had one year without covid as I only did 3 years). Then, I got the job I could in like an admin role and have had such a hard time getting out of it. I had an opportunity in my dream field but I ruined it as the commute was so brutal I had to quit. Now trying again, everything wants experience but won't value the education piece and I am just not an entrepreneur to like run my own thing to "show" I have experience. I have run through so many things at this point that I just need to stick with something but it is hard when you just don't see a path. I feel very all over the place and scattered lol because I just don't want to spend years developing skills for no payoff when I kind of feel like that's what I've been doing.
Not only that lost all my friends, not had a relationship and am still living at home which has made it a very emotional 20s so far lol. Really hoping 25 and after good stuff happens lol
😅
Happy birthday Sara! You are doing great and you deserve all the success and love! Looking forward to your videos!
Happy Birthday Sara!! 🎉🎉 Welcome to the 30s...
These real videos of life and advice are why i watch youtube and not a tv show love this vid
I can't even see my twenties in the rear view mirror any more but I do remember them. I would love to have watched this video as a twenty year old. More power to you, Sara. Keep on doing you.
Happy Birthday Sara!!!
Happy birthday!!!💗
If I could summarize this video with one word, it would be bittersweet, like many people's 20s.
I wish I just knew myself more when I was in my 20s. I found what I was going to do for the rest of my working life, started and dropped out of college, and started a family. There's only a few things I'd do differently because if I change too much I wouldn't have my wife and son.
Happy Birthday! You have so much to be proud of.
I loved this video so much.
I def needed to hear this. Thank you for being so open.
You can't believe how much this video means to me.
Thank you thank you thank you and Happy Birthday.
About to start my 20s, so thought I would watch this…
Also, happy birthday, Sara!
Thank you Sara❤
I have been following you and watching your videos since mid-2015 and I'm turning 30 in January 2025.
I left my 9-5 day job in June 2018. Went full-time freelance. The covid happened, affected my small freelance photography biz. The AI-happened, affected my online freelance editing biz. Went back to the 9-5 day job grind in 2024 just to try things up and because I really want to invest on an M1 MacBook Pro or at least an M1 iPad Pro or a mini 6 to learn some 3D modeling OTG while doing some photo & video editing work for clients again. (My 2020 Intel MacBook Pro just cannot haha)
Now I'm planning to leave my 9-5 day job again to look for a part-time job because I really started to notice that this full-time 9-5 day job thing, is just killing me big-time because I don't have control with my time and life like I used to back when I was a full-time freelancer, and it's just really not for me. My overall health just cannot take it.
Seeing this video, seeing you talk to us like this, I'm happy to know that I'm not alone. Because I really don't have much "friends". They're more like colleagues to me. I'm almost pretty much at home. But I think I prefer it like that than having to deal with fake peeps. Lol
Hope your b-day is peachy, Sara Dietschy 🎂🎈🎁🥳
I turned 30 a few months ago. I spent all my 20's working in the same job, and playing it extra safe. I still learnt stuff, but now I'm 30 and feel like I need to catch up and experience new things (different job, new locations). It sucks a little as I feel like I wasted a lot of time, and most people expect you to have a family in your 30s and start settling down, but I feel like I've only just woken up.
You got time you got this 🤝🏻
23 here! 🙋🏼♂️ I found this so incredibly helpful and relatable. Thank you for sharing, Sara! 😊
Happy birthday, Sara!!!!!🎂🎈🎉🎊
Happy Birthday Sara Peachy !
Happy Birthday!
Loved this video. I am turning 49 and I too am experiencing new chapters. I didn't think it was possible at my age like are we settled yet? Here I am though thinking of the next and new. Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing your heart.
Happy birthday, Sara! ❤
Happy Birthday Sara!! Your 30's are pretty great too.... welcome to the party!!
Life can be a bumpy road. Have a HAPPY Birthday, Sara! You've got a handle on it.
Carry on. 👍🥂💪 😍
Happy Birthday! Sara 🎂
It’s crazy, that I always felt I want kids even tho I was in my 20. as a male and when I told a girl that , they were so fascinated and sayed why can’t my boyfriend say such things. But I never felt like I wasted my time, not often around on instagram and it’s so good. When you see people around you doing stuff and you’re not it’s messing with your head.
