    Very cool to say that the RUclips Channel was just you, you did all the editing and were by yourself. We all know it was a duo effort, no need to try and erase the past even if you're no longer friends. Take a step from the egotistical and just speak honestly.

    I am speechless! I'm a polyglot and translator myself and have similar cravings as you do. I've been watching you on RUclips since 2013 and love watching where you are going, and how SLOWLY BUT SURELY you find out more about yourself and where you want to go next! Step by step. Take care! 😘

    Jo this made me cry and I was not expecting that lol For context in my family I've been called a "Jack of All Trades but Master of None" so when I say I felt this, it felt this lol The theme of my current energy walking into the unknown with curiosity and excitement. In watching you be fearless and explain how you created your dream life, I realized how much fear I am still holding on to. But instead of being afraid of that fear and continuing this cycle I am choosing to do it scared, do it ugly and do it with genuine curiosity b/c I am worthy of creating my dream life. Thank you for always being honest and showing us your journey! ps : divine timing is wild lol xoxox

      I feel you, but that's not really fair... Allow her share her OWN story. She’s allowed to focus on the positives and besides that, perhaps she just doesn't want the drama of bringing up every single detail.

    Eu vi você no canal de português de Virgina há um tempo quando você participou aí, mas nunca vim para seu canal.
    Primer vídeo seu que vejo e foi o melhor, você é uma mulher maravilhosa.
    Igual do que você eu tô interessado em línguas, de fato português nem é meu idioma nativo kkk. (E sei que o vídeo foi em inglês mas eu conheci você falando português, então isso faz mas sentido pra minha cabeça)
    Mas muito inspirador seu vídeo, você é maravilhosa, sério!
    Parabéns por tudo o que tem atingido até agora, e de hoje em adiante eu estarei aqui como subscritor torcendo!

    I have a creative and dominant mind with a loving spirit. My wife is intelligent and fearless with a caring spirit. I see all these traits with you. We have a daughter that is 8 years old. I hope she grows to become half the amazing woman that you have become. She already has the same hair, complexion, independence, grace, fearlessness, and self-belief as you. I’m so proud of her. Thanks for sharing the process of your overall growth and development. You’re nothing short of amazing and beautiful. Please never ever forget that, and never ever let anyone make you feel guilty for that…

    Wow it's funny how my own path just turned out in a really different way. I'm a huge language nerd but always been so indecisive and I ended up choosing a major that combines language and economics. Turned out I absolutely hated economics and wanna focus on language only. So I just took a big step and enrolled in another university for a translation degree. Never been so excited in my life and I finally know my direction.

    I've been following you for SO long now (and even met you once in a super market in LA/Koreatown 2016) and you inspire me SO MUCH! As a creative person, language lover and writer I can relate so much. It's not always easy find out what we really want and in which field we can really thrive. I'm also still on my journey and right now one of the things I really wanna do is getting more into RUclips and being a fictional writer.
    „No job description would ever encompass everything that I loved. I needed to create my own job description and modify it in every single stage of my life.“ Wow love this so so much! I also did this about a year ago, thank you for reminding me. I wish you all the best for your journey. Lots of love from Germany. Sabrina

    Hi Jo:
    I love your story. It's amazing how you have learned to flip the switch on languages in your brain. Becoming a polyglot just feel amazing.
    I saw where you were learning Egyptian Arabic.
    I just got married and he is Egyptian. We are long distance so it's hard. I am trying to learn to be able to move there.
    I would love to chat with you some time. Maybe you could tell me when that "aha" moment happened for you that everything changed. I am using Pimsleur the Egyptian dialect.
    I saw you advertising it on TikTok 🙈😂.
    Thank you!!

      It's really hard to get chosen to work for the UN. I'm saying this as someone who actually studied translation and worked in translation. Anyway, translation really doesn't pay well, so I'm changing careers.

    As a creative I think I'd rather be a person who is decent at many things than really good at 1 thing, it helps with bigger projects that require team work cuz like you say if you want to teach someone how to clean a toilet you have to know how to do it yourself too. Another great video 🙏 thank you, I need to refine my routine for sure. Get myself excited/inspired earlier in the day, and make better connections with people.
