I feel so stressed trying to do RUclips, TikTok, and IG… lol I can only do one at a time. TikTok is easier with growth but I feel like RUclips you really can grow a community which I don’t really find that on TikTok that often
I've been posting 1-2 videos per day (shorts) and reposting that same video on TT, Twitter, LI, Insta Reels, FB Reels. That's worked for me up to this point. Long form content will come next!
I feel that it was best for me to get the "hang" of making videos on RUclips first then extend outward to TT and IG. Yeah it can be stressful but we have to go at our own pace yet with consistency..
The day you posted the video about quitting your job I called my boss to inform him that I would no longer work in his company. Your words gave me courage to make that call. but then all my fears came in and eventually didn’t leave my job. But I was watching all your videos throughout the year and saw the transition you went through. Now, almost a year later, I finally quit my job and I’m confident to say that you really paved the way for others who have all these fears to know what to do next, i love your energy and will be forever grateful for the life lessons you have taught me and everyone watching your videos. 💕 love
Lynette, I started watching you when you quit your job and you have inspired me since to quit my minimum wage job for a better paying, more social hours job, started creating content and going on my journey. The past year I stopped making content due to being in a toxic relationship, but now I’m out of that I’m watching this video and I feel so inspired to pick up where I left off and continue on this journey. Thank you for inspiring me, thank you for continuously showing up for yourself and inspiring me to do the same, you’re amazing! Xxx
So I just quit my job like yesterday. And I wanted to get on yt to see if anyone had videos on this topic to see if anyone felt the same as I do. I started with your video from last year right when you quit. It helped me to see that I wasn’t alone I’m not crazy. You just feel that it’s right. There’s something else that is meant for you. That there’s options and you don’t have to settle for traditional jobs. Even before I left. I would look at indeed and realize. I don’t want to do none of that. I would also love to create content. Definitely am going on a self care journey. So why not film it. Hopefully help someone else. And now I have the time to do it that’s not half ass. So thank you.
I’ve been off of work from my corporate job since May of 2021 on medical leave and have no desire on going back. In that time frame I focused on my businesses and content creating. I have no desire to go back because I have no desire to do it anymore and I would work 10-16 hour days often getting burnt out with work alone on top of being a mom. Good for you on getting out and finding what works for you. I love redemption stories and I wish you much success, well us success. Keep up the good work babe you got this 🙏🏾❤️.
10:57 I still work a 9-5 despite my best efforts. but the bad part for me is that it leaves me with very little time to create. I'm also an artist 🎨 and for an artist that really just bothers me because creating is my purpose, but due to 9-5 I have very little time to operate in my purpose 🙃...
@@graceartsgifts thanks, that's how I always looked at it, but art has been my side hustle for the last 30 years, so now is kinda hard to see it like that...its now feeling like I will always have to have a base job and squeeze my art into the small increments of time I have outside of work... thanks for the feed back, much appreciated 🙏...
I have this fashion is mine and I just feel I don’t have the time to thrive… I’m on the edge of quitting my job but I still need the money to support me - maybe searching for a part-Tim position may be a move?
Samee, I came across a video by MewTripled she explained how she works on her side hustles as an artist while having a 9 to 5 job, complete with her schedule too! Maybe you can check out her channel :) I personally find MewTripled’s explanation helpful about how she manages her time productively
i relate to you so much regarding when u had 2k subs but were still so excited to post. i love posting and connecting with the people that watch my videos. something about youtube sparks my soul. i believe our souls have desires for a reason. thanks as always, not only was this inspiring and a reminder that this is all going somewhere but also super real and great insight
I couldn’t agree more! Nothing beats that feeling after filming, editing & posting the first video. I couldn’t see imagine doing anything else. Everyone deserves to know what that feels like.
I truly appreciate how open and honest you are with this journey. As a RUclips creator myself I truly appreciate videos like this because there’s no real rule book so I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing from time to time 😂
Thank you so much, your videos are being so helpful, I just got my first sponsorship and I am so excited. As you said the passion needs to drive you. Asé
I haven’t posted a video in a year but I keep feeling this nagging pull that I should be doing this and that I need to pick it back up again. I just came across your channel today and I love how open you are about your experiences. Thank you for bringing inspiration to me. PS you are so so beautiful! 💜
I just started my RUclips. It’s such a weird feeling to put myself in front of the camera especially after all I’ve done prior is operate from behind the camera. Here’s to a new journey and progress! Thank you for this video
It’s only been 1 min of the video and I’m feeling this warm sensation in my eyes like when one is about to cry because I just started my journey but it’s so freaking scary I feel like this out in my stomach of what I can achieve and all the struggles that I have been through together in a big bowl os fears and dreams! I feel this way and having someone like you that can share the good the bad and the ugly has no price! 🙏
If only a lot more content creators, e-commerce business owners, and anyone using a digital platform for income would just be realistic and honest about the start, the beginning and truth about the journey. I truly believe if so we wouldn't have as many depressed people or people suffering mental health problems. It takes time and it's work. Yes it can be successful for you ( having a successful digital platform) simply do the work and give it time. Thanks Lynette. I think this video of yours will help those who are depressed about numbers, likes, followers and comments. This video topic is so honest, raw, truthful and straight. A dream, want, need or desire can be real and it can come true put in the work and give it time to happen. Such a healthy wealth of information in this video. Thank you.( apologies for the length of this comment)
I love your videos Lynette and the message you carry around how to juggle 9-5 with the potential of growing an online presence. It’s great to see someone who’s been on both sides and it’s really helpful for me to decide what to do next. 💗
Wow I love how genuine you are explaining all of this! Time management is a struggle for me currently as I expend so much time and effort at my full time job. I’m deciding to be more serious with content creation so it’s nice to hear someone talk about it all honestly.
Thank you for your transparency! You’ve been my biggest inspiration to make a RUclips channel and plan to release my first video in the next week and you just get me so excited about it! I love that you’re able to succeed by being yourself and having that openness on working on yourself and you just have such a positive but honest outlook on all of it! You’re so right on being your biggest supporter and I deffo wanna succeed on getting that relationship with myself too. Much love n appreciation! 💛
“Ok Lynette is doing this so many be I should do this” that WAS me! Thank you for sharing!!! Let’s do this!!! Wish you all the abundance and success girl!
Super helpful! Love that you didn't sugar-coat anything. At the end of the day, it comes down to showing up over and over and over again, just like you said! Constantly need that reminder lol
Wow!! this came at the perfect time ✨ it is truly so appreciated, there are no other content creators that are so passionate about sharing this wisdom like you do. This was so encouraging to me in figuring out the direction of my channel 💗 Your words are not only based on superficial outcomes, but come from the place within which is what matters the most. Thank you!
0:24 👏 wow that's awesome. I graduated during the shut down of 2020 as well after finally going back to school at age 39... the p@ndemic seemed to have knocked me off my course due to the lapse between graduating and not being able to just jump into my career due to everyone in the field being laid off, my internship and career path was thrown off... instead of finally graduating and finally doing the career I dreamed of all my life. I graduated and returned back to my job at a theme park. Now back in the pay check to pay check, 9to5 hampster wheel life I feel even worse than before I graduated college. and also I feel further away from my dreams than I did before college. Its like before I thought I wasn't successful in life cus I didn't finish college, but to finish and still work minimum wage sucks...I too jumped back into youtube in 2020, but for two years ive labored over my channel and now two plus years later I'm just now seeing a small amount of growth...so I know how tough and scary it could be, and for you to have made it is no small accomplishment...
The number of times I've watched this and will continue to rewatch this as I plan on quitting my job in 2 months to do this full time... Thank you Lynette!
I didn't think of the boundaries of life/content until you mentioned it. It takes discipline to know when to set boundaries. Other key takeaways from this video: -Big sponsorships can change your life -Focus on your own journey, not on one specific niche or on what someone else is doing -Do this for the long term and because you love doing it Thank you Lynette! Your content is 🔥
I rarely take the time to comment on other creators videos (this is something i'm working on) however I just have to say that I've been a follower of yours for around a year and a half and I'm so proud of you from afar, you're amazing and your openness and reflection is so admirable and also - I LOVE YOUR PLANTS! 🌿
I am soooo trying to become consistent with my content!!! I am excited to show the world with who I am!!! I absolutely love your morals etc. so relatable!!! I’m about to just go for it
I really appreciate this as someone who wants to start some content creation (not quit my 9to5) but has really been struggling with finding a niche because I feel drawn to a mission that crosses topics rather than talk about one thing in so much detail
idk why but this video made me cry, in a good way. this was such great advice for people out there like myself who wants to be a content creator. im not going to lie, I just started trying to be consistent with posting and taking it more seriously. I been super focused on growth that I forgot to be present and remember its a journey. to enjoy the process. I been getting so frustrated with myself and kinda being hard on myself this whole time. as always thank you for your transparency & sharing your story! I feel even more inspired to keep going 🥲❤️
Kinda been feeling discouraged. Everytime I clocked in into work, I immediately get depressed like I shouldn’t be at this job or working for someone else. I feel like I’m being so fake and it’s not making me happy at all. I’ve been wanting to do RUclips since 2016 and I finally started my channel maybe a month ago. Everything is going slow as of now but I believe I’ll get better and my channel will prosper. I know in my heart this is what I really want to do. Thank you, I needed this ❤
Thank you so much for this video Lynette, going through a rough life transition patch and listening to you talk about your journey really just gave me the energy I needed to get up tomorrow morning and face life again m, wish me luck!
also I appreciate you acknowledging that in certain periods of life it’s necessary to grind / work really hard! I think it’s great to strive for a healthy relationship with productivity, but some phases of life may have to be more work focused to get you where you want to go and that’s okay too
Thank you. I've been on RUclips since 2017 and I've gotten discouraged a few times. But yes, this is about the long game and I will remember that when I get frustrated. ❤️
I’ve been pushing and pushing my boundaries of wanting to go for something I’m scared of. Just watching many podcast made by men. But yours is truly what I needed. LOL I resonated with this one. Speaking to me with that universal consciousness. I & I 💚
Thank you so much for this video! Love your informative content and words of encouragement! Especially the reminder about - yes some people blow up quick but not everyone for, this being a long game. You’re an inspiration. Congratulations for making it this far!
Thank you so much Lynette, I am starting my RUclips journey this week. It has always been my passion but never had the courage to stick to it. This video gave me the push!
This is the first time I heard about an authentic journey to success on social media, and its gratifying because I am personally trying to grow my RUclips channel and it feels like everyone who gets success just blew up, and I don't get to see the seemingly fruitless effort that went in beforehand. Thank you for this video :)
found your channel just yesterday and I have been binging all of your videos! you give such honest and concrete advice, and I love listening to you talk 🤍
When you first started your channel did you ever have a fear of your current job, family or friends seeing your videos? I've contemplated posting lifestyle content for years and I keep running into that fear of opening up my thoughts and life to people that might know me.
Same ! I have another channel where I’ve posted vlogs and natural hair stuff since 2011 I literally never told anyone in my real life about it but I connected with a good few ppl here on RUclips, I finally shared my channel publicly in 2021 and I’ve stopped using that channel and now plan to make videos on this channel lol
I had this same fear. And i got tired of hiding my page abt 3 months after posting my first video… now i feel confident as ever. I think getting over that initial hump is what we all need to confront . Things will honestly be smooth sailing after
Omggg I swear, I love your content SO much! You offer so much value. Way more than other RUclipsrs. Can you PLEASE talk about monetization on social media? Different ways to monetize?
I understand, sometimes I feel like I do RUclips for nothing & I just keep going lol it's been 3 years and I'm almost there. I just came across your channel and I love your content. Thanks for being transparent with us I appreciate you.
Thank you for the advice and support 🤍 the tip of creating more content than you consume resonated with me… I do take tons of photos and videos, but I need to make a more consistent habit of editing them and posting consistently. I love watching RUclips and engaging in the communities here, but sometimes I feel like I get caught down a hole of consuming more content instead of working on my own progress 🙃 So maybe here is part of my sign to set some boundaries there ❤️❤️ love your videos, you encourage me! Glad you love your work, keep going :))
Thank you. You've really encouraged me. I was about to quit my yt journey because I am not seeing a lot right now, but I'll keep going. There is a light at the end.
As someone who’s trying to grow their channel, this was SO helpful and inspiring! Thank you for providing a realistic perspective but also encouraging me to do what I want to 🤞
So happy that I found you! So honest & raw! I love that ❤! I’m in the learning stages of creating content so this couldn’t have come at a better time! Time to nail it!!!
I just recently discovered your channel and WOW. Everything you say is everything I’ve been feeling. I’ve been trying to blog for the last 7 years on and off and I haven’t seen much progress. It’s so frustrating to continue to be working full time in something I’m not passionate about. It feels like freedom isn’t coming quick enough for me lol. But hopefully someday soon 🙌🏻
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT, I've recently gotten super consistent and a lot of things you mentioned I was pondering on and I'm like okay how can I organize this with my 9-5. What about the possible rough months? So THANK YOU. I am definitely going to make sure my finances are really good before I quit my 9-5.
I don't know if you were talking about TSC/Lauryn Evarts but her and her husband always talks about how you consume too much you're basically defeaning your own voice and it's SO true!!
I took notes watching this!! So many inspiring and encouraging phrases. I am trying to focus on the journey and enjoy the process like you say. Thank you for this video🧡
It's really cool that you've gotten to this point - but also that you were so passionate about it before you got to this point. I think I was here when you were at about 20,000 :)
Hi Lynette! I really resonated with what you said in this video. I’ve been watching you for some time and you are always so inspiring especially on my lowest days. Just wanted to say thank you for being here!
Been a fan since day one! such an amazing content creator to watch and i love, you share the truth about the struggles being a RUclipsr x Recently, just started my channel 7 months ago. But definitely it is work. I'm on a 9-5 job now. But as you said if you are passionate about it keep doing it!!!! love mc xo
Thank you for being so transparent with us. You are literally helping us elevate and know what is possible, what we should look into before taking the steps ahead. Very informative video.
Thank you so much for sharing I am starting my journey of being a content creator you gave me a lot of Hope and inspiration to do this. Thank you again
It's like these always come at the perfect time! Thank you Lynette, watching your journey is so comforting and beautiful. I'm still early on my own and sometimes I get impatient and want to see things grow but I need to remember everything comes with time, effort and hard work. Really needed this.
Lynette, I want to thank you for honestly helping me change my mindset on a lot of things in my life. Watching your videos day in and day out one help me get out of a really bad mental spot. As well as help me take a spiritual approach to everything that I do. I even preach to my friends how “everything is spiritual and you have to approach everything with love” and that is because of you. Although, I still struggle to get back into posting my own personal content and taking off on my own journey, I just want to thank you for the inspiration you’ve had on me personally 🖤
New subscriber here! Really needed to hear all of this. The last bit about being lonely and people not understanding was sooo relatable. Thanks for sharing ✨
I never wanted to because a youtuber, but it just happened. One day I posted a video and it attracted many people. That’s the thing - what is meant to happen will happen. I believe in you!
This sounds so much like me right now, but thank you so much for this because it truly gives me hope and faith that soon enough something will give and I can give my fiancé and I the life I truly want. Love this… thank you!
I've been watching your channel since you were at around 40k and that was only like a year ago, you've grown so much and thank you for being so honest and open about it! I'm not sure if I wanna do this full-time but the idea is really exciting 💛 I have a question around creating a company/llc when you first get monetized is a good idea?
This is quite insightful. Thank you for sharing even for introverts, this is a gem of a fact. It is also reaffirming to hear it from you as it is also about documenting one’s life journey in a colourful way. Somehow your tribe will find you!

I’ve definitely noticed that! The RUclips communities seem more committed and genuine.

I've been posting 1-2 videos per day (shorts) and reposting that same video on TT, Twitter, LI, Insta Reels, FB Reels. That's worked for me up to this point. Long form content will come next!

Me too, except I already quit long ago. It's hard and I'm scared since I'm starting from scratch and have no help or money.

I was wondering about this ! Thank you for sharing 💙
The income part has made me fearful in the past, but working for others has also taught me that a W2 job is not secure either

idk why but this video made me cry, in a good way. this was such great advice for people out there like myself who wants to be a content creator. im not going to lie, I just started trying to be consistent with posting and taking it more seriously. I been super focused on growth that I forgot to be present and remember its a journey. to enjoy the process. I been getting so frustrated with myself and kinda being hard on myself this whole time. as always thank you for your transparency & sharing your story! I feel even more inspired to keep going 🥲❤️
I’m loving content regarding your journey 🥹thank you so much for sharing
Awesome lessons, thank you Lynette. Quote I read once - Consistency comes from Authenticity.
Kinda been feeling discouraged. Everytime I clocked in into work, I immediately get depressed like I shouldn’t be at this job or working for someone else. I feel like I’m being so fake and it’s not making me happy at all. I’ve been wanting to do RUclips since 2016 and I finally started my channel maybe a month ago. Everything is going slow as of now but I believe I’ll get better and my channel will prosper. I know in my heart this is what I really want to do. Thank you, I needed this ❤
Thank you so much for this video Lynette, going through a rough life transition patch and listening to you talk about your journey really just gave me the energy I needed to get up tomorrow morning and face life again m, wish me luck!
also I appreciate you acknowledging that in certain periods of life it’s necessary to grind / work really hard! I think it’s great to strive for a healthy relationship with productivity, but some phases of life may have to be more work focused to get you where you want to go and that’s okay too
Yesss
This is so true! Post more than you consume!!! That is what I'm working on now
Thank you. I've been on RUclips since 2017 and I've gotten discouraged a few times. But yes, this is about the long game and I will remember that when I get frustrated. ❤️
This was absolutely motivating. Thank you abundantly for sharing and most importantly for being yourself. 💌
Thank you
Definitely inspired me to continue to do what I love ❤️
I’ve been pushing and pushing my boundaries of wanting to go for something I’m scared of. Just watching many podcast made by men. But yours is truly what I needed. LOL I resonated with this one. Speaking to me with that universal consciousness. I & I 💚
Thank you so much for this video! Love your informative content and words of encouragement! Especially the reminder about - yes some people blow up quick but not everyone for, this being a long game. You’re an inspiration. Congratulations for making it this far!
Thank you so much Lynette, I am starting my RUclips journey this week. It has always been my passion but never had the courage to stick to it. This video gave me the push!
This is the first time I heard about an authentic journey to success on social media, and its gratifying because I am personally trying to grow my RUclips channel and it feels like everyone who gets success just blew up, and I don't get to see the seemingly fruitless effort that went in beforehand. Thank you for this video :)
This the one 👏🏾👏🏾 agreed
found your channel just yesterday and I have been binging all of your videos! you give such honest and concrete advice, and I love listening to you talk 🤍
i needed this... ngl the ending really hit.... everything has gone downhill for me this year..but I will continue... wishing you all the best
You seriously inspire me and keep me going on this journey! Hopefully things look up for me soon! ❤️✨✨
Thank you for being so open and sharing with those who are interested in this lifestyle ❤
When you first started your channel did you ever have a fear of your current job, family or friends seeing your videos? I've contemplated posting lifestyle content for years and I keep running into that fear of opening up my thoughts and life to people that might know me.
My fear as well
Same ! I have another channel where I’ve posted vlogs and natural hair stuff since 2011 I literally never told anyone in my real life about it but I connected with a good few ppl here on RUclips, I finally shared my channel publicly in 2021 and I’ve stopped using that channel and now plan to make videos on this channel lol
I had this same fear. And i got tired of hiding my page abt 3 months after posting my first video… now i feel confident as ever. I think getting over that initial hump is what we all need to confront . Things will honestly be smooth sailing after
@@ogbasedmish9036 exactly
Omggg I swear, I love your content SO much! You offer so much value. Way more than other RUclipsrs. Can you PLEASE talk about monetization on social media? Different ways to monetize?
I understand, sometimes I feel like I do RUclips for nothing & I just keep going lol it's been 3 years and I'm almost there. I just came across your channel and I love your content. Thanks for being transparent with us I appreciate you.
Thank you for the advice and support 🤍 the tip of creating more content than you consume resonated with me… I do take tons of photos and videos, but I need to make a more consistent habit of editing them and posting consistently. I love watching RUclips and engaging in the communities here, but sometimes I feel like I get caught down a hole of consuming more content instead of working on my own progress 🙃
So maybe here is part of my sign to set some boundaries there
❤️❤️ love your videos, you encourage me! Glad you love your work, keep going :))
Great advice about staying aligned with your purpose/mission/passion in being a content creator.
Thank you. You've really encouraged me. I was about to quit my yt journey because I am not seeing a lot right now, but I'll keep going. There is a light at the end.
As someone who’s trying to grow their channel, this was SO helpful and inspiring! Thank you for providing a realistic perspective but also encouraging me to do what I want to 🤞
So happy that I found you! So honest & raw! I love that ❤! I’m in the learning stages of creating content so this couldn’t have come at a better time! Time to nail it!!!
Just found your channel and every information and getting from it is so helpful,.I love it!
I love the way you speak and articulate in your videos, thank you for sharing your experience! Super insightful
I teared up a little @ the end ☺️ thank you for this it was so needed 🖤
🥺🫶🏽
As someone literally just starting their RUclips journey two weeks ago, I def needed to hear this! And thanks for being so transparent!! 💕💕💕
Same! 🙏🏽 following you now. 🤍we can do this 😘
@UC-V_dD3Qw_WN4i786Zsolmg Thanks and you’re welcome!! Yes YES 🙌🏽🙌🏽💕💕💕
I just recently discovered your channel and WOW. Everything you say is everything I’ve been feeling. I’ve been trying to blog for the last 7 years on and off and I haven’t seen much progress. It’s so frustrating to continue to be working full time in something I’m not passionate about. It feels like freedom isn’t coming quick enough for me lol. But hopefully someday soon 🙌🏻
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT, I've recently gotten super consistent and a lot of things you mentioned I was pondering on and I'm like okay how can I organize this with my 9-5. What about the possible rough months? So THANK YOU. I am definitely going to make sure my finances are really good before I quit my 9-5.
Wow, I started watching you last year around that time.. Now I gave my job notice, tomorrow is my last day. Maybe it's a good sign🤞
Omg congratsss wishing u the best on ur new chapter!!
@@LynetteAdkins thank you🥰🥰
"If you really are passionate about it you WILL make it happen." I couldn't agree more 💛
I don't know if you were talking about TSC/Lauryn Evarts but her and her husband always talks about how you consume too much you're basically defeaning your own voice and it's SO true!!
I’m subscriber here. This is the first video and only video as of now that I’ve watched from you. You just give off a positive vibe and I like that.
I took notes watching this!! So many inspiring and encouraging phrases. I am trying to focus on the journey and enjoy the process like you say. Thank you for this video🧡
I truly appreciate this advice 🧡
You are so inspiring! Thank you for being open & sharing this.
Thank you for this!! Your journey is so inspiring 🙌🏽 keep doing you
It's really cool that you've gotten to this point - but also that you were so passionate about it before you got to this point. I think I was here when you were at about 20,000 :)
Hi Lynette! I really resonated with what you said in this video. I’ve been watching you for some time and you are always so inspiring especially on my lowest days. Just wanted to say thank you for being here!
I love your Curls, love the natural look ❤
Been a fan since day one! such an amazing content creator to watch and i love, you share the truth about the struggles being a RUclipsr x
Recently, just started my channel 7 months ago. But definitely it is work. I'm on a 9-5 job now. But as you said if you are passionate about it keep doing it!!!! love mc xo
Thank you for being so transparent with us. You are literally helping us elevate and know what is possible, what we should look into before taking the steps ahead. Very informative video.
Thank you so much for sharing I am starting my journey of being a content creator you gave me a lot of Hope and inspiration to do this. Thank you again
Ugh thank you for this. I just started my RUclips vlogging journey and you said a few things that really resonated. Thank you
It's like these always come at the perfect time! Thank you Lynette, watching your journey is so comforting and beautiful. I'm still early on my own and sometimes I get impatient and want to see things grow but I need to remember everything comes with time, effort and hard work. Really needed this.
appreciate you so much.I really needed to hear this 🙏🏽
Awesome..I really appreciate you sharing your journey and experiences. Grateful for you
I needed to see this today. So glad YT algorithm planted you on my feed. ❤️
Thanks for the video! Been following your journey - really appreciate the useful and transparent content. Really helps change my mindset 😊
Thank u I’m so glad it’s been helpful!🤍
Thanks for the transparency because you have to be in it for the long haul. That’s great advice for everything in life.
Lynette, I want to thank you for honestly helping me change my mindset on a lot of things in my life. Watching your videos day in and day out one help me get out of a really bad mental spot. As well as help me take a spiritual approach to everything that I do. I even preach to my friends how “everything is spiritual and you have to approach everything with love” and that is because of you. Although, I still struggle to get back into posting my own personal content and taking off on my own journey, I just want to thank you for the inspiration you’ve had on me personally 🖤
This really inspired me. Thank you for your transparency!
New subscriber here! Really needed to hear all of this. The last bit about being lonely and people not understanding was sooo relatable. Thanks for sharing ✨
I never wanted to because a youtuber, but it just happened. One day I posted a video and it attracted many people. That’s the thing - what is meant to happen will happen. I believe in you!
This sounds so much like me right now, but thank you so much for this because it truly gives me hope and faith that soon enough something will give and I can give my fiancé and I the life I truly want. Love this… thank you!
I've been watching your channel since you were at around 40k and that was only like a year ago, you've grown so much and thank you for being so honest and open about it! I'm not sure if I wanna do this full-time but the idea is really exciting 💛 I have a question around creating a company/llc when you first get monetized is a good idea?
This is quite insightful. Thank you for sharing even for introverts, this is a gem of a fact. It is also reaffirming to hear it from you as it is also about documenting one’s life journey in a colourful way. Somehow your tribe will find you!
First time viewer! TY you so much, Lynette💛🐝the this life line!
💯 On choosing and staying on your mission. It's about the healthy, fulfilling life of YOUR dreams and no one else's
