    So happy that you're happy. Honestly, that's the biggest goal for everyone. Everyone deserves happiness and if you're not happy where you're at, it's important to take a step back and rethink, plan, and do whatever you got to do to take a step to be happy again.

    • @alexiseldredge
      @alexiseldredge  Год назад +3

      yes! i totally agree with that, it is so easy to get stuck in a routine or lifestyle that you aren't content with- this definitely was a blessing in disguise!

    Ahhhh been there 2008. It’s pretty crushing but you are embracing it the right way -- an open door and a new adventure. You have great life skills. One reason you may be extra tired is the silent stress on the lay-off. It takes a toll so get extra rest !

    • @alexiseldredge
      @alexiseldredge  Год назад

      yes, to new adventures! i am trying to get a little extra rest these days, although i am happy with the outcome, it has been strange to not work a job i had for over 2 years!

  • @sheenalarson1283

    so excited for you to focus on your creativity these next few months!! would you ever possibly do a video on what auditioning looks like for you? what kind of shows do you audition for - is it dancing or acting or both? I'd love to know more if you'd share with us :)

    • @alexiseldredge

  • @Velkairiwyth
    @Velkairiwyth Год назад

    Been laid off twice. Once in the run up to 2008 crash, and in 2015 when the startup I was working for lost its main investor. Every time it took me out my comfort zone and pushed me and proved both times to lead to great things. It can be scary, glad your relaxed, the RUclipss can support... never watched a blog video like this before... it was chill and nice (and NYC, yey)
    Keep at it :)

    Hi Alexis! Just found your videos through your growing audience videos. I am also in theatre in Canada (stage manager), and starting up my own channel because I’m moving to England this year. A little scary turning down work here, but it’s been on my mind for years. Hoping I can build a channel that also supplements my income so I’m not in an expensive city with no income. Your channel is inspiring me, and your video when you first got monetized is inspiring and also preparing me. Thank you!
