- packing to move and start over again.
(why LA? mostly because my mom lives here and I can be more accessible to her)

Your 20s SHOULD be unconventional and full of experiences like this! Take it from someone like me, I just turned 28 and I have lived in three states but moving to a lot of different locations within Maine, California, and now the DC area.
Moving to so many places lets you meet new people, experience new things, and develop new perspectives on life. You got this and I am so glad I found your channel!
I started over when I was 30. So definitely can relate! Moving in a different city got a new job! Best thing I could’ve done!❤
I’m so scared to do it all alone
Same, I move into rented apartment on Monday on my own (after living with my ex for 16 years😢) and had an interview for a new job today. I'm so scared. @@audriella2408
Best of luck in this new chapter ✨🫶🏽💞
I'm so early! I wanna take this time to tell you that I'm really grateful to have found your channel before the end of 2023. Your videos are inspiring and have made me want to be better in 2024 :)
Wow 🥺🤍 im so grateful for you! That really means so much
I'm excited to see what your journey looks like this year
You bring me so much comfort when I watch your videos, I wish the best on this new chapter you are starting and it’s amazing how you know what you need and how you handle your situation. I’m sorry to hear you are going through something and I’ll pray for your healing & growth. You are amazing, strong, and beautiful! 🫶🏽
im coming over
I escaped a very abusive relationship with a legit psychopath in my 20s and that feels like a whole other life now so regardless of what your going through TRUST ME you will make it ♡ You got this friend (insert giant virtual hug)
your ability to stay whimsy and curious despite the set backs is truly admirable, tammy! its so comforting to see you be so open and honest about struggling, but still allowing yourself to have fun. sad and silly, gentle and strong. you're gonna be ok!
tammy, you give so much comfort to the one's watching and rooting for you. the universe has better things in store for you. whatever you're going through will make you even stronger and resilient!! hope you feel more at ease soon! ❤️🩹
Many people in their 20's have moved many times. Myself included have lived in AZ, NY, TX and currently back in PA. Lets just say when we are young our hormones are raging and we need our Freedom, Self Discovery, Comfort, and Peace. If you had grown up with strict parents than you will most likely be rebellious and outspoken as you've grown older. Good luck and hope you find your inner peace and stability.
welcome back to LA 🤍 sunny California sure missed you and is welcoming you back with warm hugs! This move is exactly what you needed and the universe holds so much plans for us
Sending you so much love and peace with whatever happened and the things you're healing through. The way you were able to quickly pivot and continue living life to the best of your abilities and still be so vulnerable at the same time is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this new chapter with us. Keep your head up, Queen! 💖
I moved to a new city where I didn't know anyone at age 23 (Portland OR); 27 (NYC), 34 (Oakland), 40 (St. Louis) before moving back to Seattle at age 41, which after 18 years away may as well have been new in terms of having a community/friends/etc. I find it super exciting!
tammy, you truly inspire me in every way. you are so strong and resilient. i wish you all the best in this new venture and new chapter !!
Thank you for your kind words! 🥺💐🫂
This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. I am actually in my late 20s as well and am finally moving back to la after a few years in 2 months. I truly felt all of this to my core. All the blessing on your journey hunny.
Thank you for helping me feel inspired and not alone. I am grateful for your channel
Hi! Thank you for sharing this. I'm 28 and just moved back to SoCal after a ~traumatic~ experience while living on the east coast for the past 9 years, and it's made me have a lot of doubt and concern about what I'm doing w/ my life. I'm currently interviewing for a dream role in LA and looking at apartments out there should it all work out, and your video just provided so much comfort. I'm sorry about whatever transpired that made you have to leave- you clearly have a bright, kind soul and deserve nothing but good things- but if it's any consolation your journey is incredibly inspiring and validating for people like myself going through similar tumultuous eras.
I'm scared to start over with few friends, no love life, etc, but you give me hope that'll it'll all work out, somehow. Thank you
all these comments making me tear up seeing how hopeful people are after going through things in their lives 🩵 sending so much love to you Tammy & everyone here!!!
also i have a channel where i want to talk about things like this so it's truly inspiring to see 🥺
Every is going through their own thing, however, you always have to see the silver lining in the clouds! Hope you are doing good as well!
I am in my 30s and I have also moved like 5-7 times. I don't regret it at all because it is better to test your next 30 years rather than to see what you want in your 50s
Bingo! I just made a comment on this about your 20s being unconventional in a sense where moving to new locations lets you meet new people and try to new things! I would rather my 20s be turbulent with moving around and trying to figure out what I want to do, than not do anything at all.
Yes! Just in last 10 years, I’ve moved 5 times for new jobs and it’s prob the most pivotal reason why I’ve advanced so far in salary and savings. Being able to move every 2-3 years gave me so many opportunities in terms of work, exploring new cities, meeting new people and learning more about myself. I definitely have no regrets and would move again if the right opportunity came along.
Until you find yourself without having accomplished anything nor being established because you were too incompetent to build a solid foundation that will hurt more so don't waste your 30s nor your 20s
I feel like I'm in the exact same phase of life as you... it was so weird like the things you were talking about were exactly how i was feeling 😂 I just moved back home to LA after years away, and I'm in my mid twenties now and I'm grateful for all of the experiences I had, but I'm scared and excited for this new chapter. It was so nice to watch this vlog and think that someone else might be going through the same thing 🥹💜 hang in there girlie hope things keep looking up and get better for you real soon 💕
I relate so much!! I’m also starting over in my late 20’s and living alone with my dog 🐶
It feels less lonely when you see others starting over/starting something new. I can relate to you, you are not alone.
Ever since I discovered your channel, I went to watch all your past videos and have been watching all the videos every time you post a new one - I just really love everything about you! Wishing nothing but the best in your new chapter❤
I know change can be difficult sometimes but you are such a resilient soul Tammy! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I know it takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to put yourself out there! Please take the time to heal and process everything you need to! Also, please stay warm and safe with atmospheric river in full swing! ❤️
i’m moving tomorrow and this blog helped me a lot
I’m 25, just got out of the Air Force, moved to LA, and kinda been going through the same. Hope you’re doing okay 🤞🏽
i moved across the country to portland when i was 28 , didnt know anyone here. 7years later i was able to buy a house here , im 42 now, havent looked back , keep moving forward all we can do
Tammi…sending good wishes for your life back in LA.
You’re so brilliant, unique and authentic.
Shine your bright light wherever you go. Loves 💛💛✨✨
Literally thought "I wonder what she's up to" and see this upload - sending all the good energy to help you through this time 🙏🏽
Tammy you have the sweetest energy, when I first followed your channel I instantly felt connected to you. To see you sad hurts but I know with friends and family around time (and cooking classes) heal all wounds❤ praying for you beautiful girl
I adore how the vibe was at the cooking class, everyone was smiling and sharing the moment together, so sweet!
I currently have a job where I do multiple jobs - RBT, but also I’m the administrator/recruiter/trainer/networker/social media manager for the company I work for. I learned when I’m overwhelmed or just exhausted and I feel all over the place, I do a quick brain dump. I brain dump using singular words for full thoughts. For example, if my mind is racing about the fact I need to cook but also need to grocery shop but the fact I should plan my meals so I know what to buy and fall into a spiral…I simply write down “groceries” and all my thoughts surrounding that word just kind of fade away. THEN I can set my pomodoro timer and get into the work zone. My mom is a therapist and she suggested that and it’s been a godsend
Omg I just found our channel, I love ur vibes
Love your videos beautiful! You have a new sub now. Keep the great content coming...
LA traffic is so manageable compared to FL traffic. In LA it’s traffic for miles but it’s constant moving. FL is like congested, slow moving stopping and going traffic for 30 minutes for 2 miles and the other 30 miles takes 30 minutes 😂😂
SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW CHAPTER 🎉❤ you got this Tammy!!!
Thank you!!
Quite crazy this happened to us last year. And I know how difficult it is to move omg. you can do it
makeup routine for the look in this video? 😍😍
such a great video!!
Ty for this. Totally relatable 🫶🏼
I feel you girl, take it easy. wishing you all the best on this new journey x
Welcome back to SoCal! Resonating with this, born n raised here. I moved back to OC after being gone for 11yrs. I was so not okay with moving back. It was an unfortunate situation, & I also made the decision to move in a couple of days. It was crazy, & a lot to process. Things are finally coming together, & for the first time in so long I feel good I'm back. I went to the beach to just sit the other day & took in the sunset. Idk, something just felt different. I felt at home again. I sorta remembered that I used to like living here. I've been avoiding LA, another story. But, I've been thinking about taking the train maybe, go shopping, visit some old spots. Just getting back out there ya know?! I honestly used to really like SoCal, I think I needed those years away, I'm a different person now. Like you said, more confident, etc. I actually want to go back to school even. I feel empowered this year. Thanks for sharing your journey! I've been following your channel for a few months now, I didn't know you were from the area, that's cool.
i feel this. you’ve got this! if you need friends 👋
Wow! What a change! You're going to miss babysitting that doggie but everything else, awesome. Peace 🕊️
i am struggling w my peace at the moment and my life and i just found ur channel and already im so drawn to your energy. just found my new comfort vlogger. i hope you find your peace again and i am so excited to join you on this journey of finding peace in our 20s ^-^
“Anything can happen if it needed to” I love that
Starting over in your 20s 😇
Starting over in your 40s 💀
Hi Tammy, I don't know what it is you are going through but I know you will tell us when/if you are ready. I am sending you the best energy and hoping whatever it is you are dealing with - will have a light at the end of the tunnel. I've been following and watching your videos since you were only a several thousand subs. You've grown so much; mind body & soul. I wish nothing but the best for you!! Take care of yourself love x
What kind of work were you doing in Samsung? let the people know!
Best of luck with the move.
A new move, a new chapter so exciting !!❤😌
🥺🤍🤍🤍
Good luck in your new chapter
Starting alone can be tough, but being alone always is worse.
You're never alone though, you always have family and old friends that you can hit up if you get lonely. And better yet, you have a bunch of internet friends that also feel the same way! Cheers!
Good luck in LA, Personally I would not recommend moving there but, I am sure you will enjoy the best that city has to offer.
Okayyyyyy ❤😊 welcome home bb
In my mid 20’s I moved across country twice within a few months, landing in Chicago. It was a hard transition but a good one ultimately. Gosh, I just can’t stop thinking about how hurt I was when I landed at O’Hare and how the next year was such a fulfilling journey.
Traffic Tam (Traffic Jam 🤔)
ok this is the best one!
Starting over again in my late 20s? I just started over again in my late 30s 😂
I can't speak to what you're going through, but last year, just before the holidays, I found myself in a situation. I'm not sure if I fell off the wall, was pushed off, or if the wall fell on me but, I had to make some decisions and own up to serious accountability. It sucks; there's no other way to look at it. Whatever you're dealing with, everyone has their struggles. I hope this marks the beginning of an authentic and kind chapter in your life. -it did for me. Sending love and hugs from a complete stranger.
I'm at this weird place n my life bc I just moved back in with my parents and I'm one semester away from graduating uni + I'm already starting to look for a job for after uni and I'm also trying to figure out if, when and where I want to move but all of that it feels so intimidating since I'm still batteling with some mental health issues. This video gave me some comfort, so thank you for uploading this :) 💕
You got this Pep! Moving back in with your parents is nothing to be ashamed of, especially with trying to find a job after college. That was me when I graduated in 2017 for a while and it was tough finding a job. It is intimidating as heck but you can survive it because you will make it out stronger! Cheers!
I love your videos so much. It always feels like a facetime call with friends. I wish you had a podcast so you could endlessly talk abt your life experiences and knowledge. You are seriously such a comforting soul ❤
Good luck on your new chapter, hoping to move to L.A. myself soon too.
Hi! Your lovely, what do you do for a living? What kinda business do you run? Just curious
I've started over in my mid 30's. Don't worry you got this.
though i didn’t have to move to a different state. a few weeks ago i had 48 hours to move into a new apartment. i couldn’t believe i pulled it off. at that point i knew if i really want something done, it can be done
I just ended a 9 yr relationship a few days ago and i feel like going through the same thing,i’m moving and learning everything again…but it feels good, we gotta take care of ourselves
Your feelings are Justified girly💕🫂🤗
I've never watched your channel but I felt like it would be interesting and I see that you seem to be going through a lot of pain so I pray that the Lord would guide you and bless your steps. I don't know wha you're going through but Im praying that God would bless you and protect and provide for you. That He would heal you and hear the desires of your heart and bring them to you in His timing. Im praying for your family and Gods hand over them ,healing and protection and blessings on them as well.
My the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, may he look towards you and give you peace and joy
this may be a bit personal, so i apologize if it comes off that way, but im really curious on how youre able to finance your amazing adventures. i would love a video on that topic and your budgeting process and such if youre comfortable with it because your life is really inspiring and seems so lovely.
Glosshouse! I love her! I don’t know what happened, but you are so strong and the way you work through tough situations is very inspiring. I also love how transparent you are about your feelings and you don’t make it seem like everything is perfect all the time
trust me your not alone 90% in late 20s are doing the same and majority are back with families on a global scale here from Canada having a bachelor or masters does guarantee you to have a job the world politics economy have gone to shit so don't stress everyone.
Already in my mid 20s and still afraid to get out of my comfort zone and try new things but your videos have been so inspirational ❤ good luck
This week I asked myself how to embrace the drama
Congrats, Tam Mai!!! I think that it’s wonderful that you’ve found place in L.A. again. I’m in New York, so I’ll miss the opportunity to meet you one day, but that’s ok. I think you’re beautiful and with all of your talent, wit and sense of dedication, you’ll be just fine!! Good luck and have a great 2024 and beyond!! 😊
How are you affording all this? Serious question, im new here
God you are so insanely likable lmao
wait lash business? tam owns a lash business? wtheck :D
Ugh, I weant to be your friend. You're energy is the type of energy I need in my life. You're so free spirited. I just started following you pretty recently and you're part of my motivation for wanting to push myself to make youtubing, fulltime. Please never stop making videos. Love you
your videos are so relaxing, it's like i'm talking to a friend
Im 27 but I'll be 28 on the 23rd of june and Im thinking about moving to LA
California has gone downhill a lot of my friiends and family have moved including myself to places like Texas and Idaho and Florida
just came across your channel a couple of days ago - the ways I can resonate with this, is honestly heavy yet comforting at the same time. trying to balance achieving our goals, being stable, accessible to family, having money, while dealing with what life throws at us & just being a human feels so incredibly exhausting. But! Every day is a new opportunity, & I’m hoping things are going better for everyone.
you are so so inspiring 🫶🏽
New subscriber here ✨ Been loving your content and I wish this new part of your life is full of growth, opportunities, and joy. A quote I love to tell myself whenever a big change happens in my life is, “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet.”
Also, love that I saw Asia Jackson in your vlog 😍
I missy auburn hair. Your hair color is so stunning 💗 What color hair dye red did your hair stylist use?
Letting go of self-destructive attachments...whew I felt that. Congrats on the new chapter and journey!
absolutely rooting for you, sending all my love to you Tam
Moving to l.a alone is expensive af 😂
Sending you love for your next chapter in life love you 😎🤎💛🖤 The food looks amazing sis
This may not be what you imagined but so happy you are looking forward to being in LA! Hope I get to meet you! Your lofts give me inspiration 🎉
you're gonna love LA, excited to see this new journey for you
Ohh my God why can I relate to you so much! 😭😭😭
welcome to the home of Latinos! Sometimes the influencer scene can cloud what LA is really like but always remember there are genuinely kind people who have always lived there as well..This is also the best time to get your fill of good mexican food loll
11:14 Cutieee omgg 😩😩🤍💍
Girl im on the same boat. Moved near LA in my mid 20s. Its a struggle. What state did you originally come from?
Fellow 20s creator here - reflecting on a lot of the same points you raised. Cheers to you ❤
Never seen this channel before, but I'm really impressed she's gotten to move around so much. I'm 20 now, and I haven't been many places....I was just wondering, is it possible to move around without money? How can you afford to move different places without a stable income? I feel like I want to experience more things..but idk how to do that without money :(
I completely feel your feelings because a similar situation happened to me back in May 2023 and it was involving family members and we had a perfect home a perfect situation and due to greed… a family member decided to sell the house and this caused me to immediately evacuate from my home and find a place within a week and it was very heartbreaking. It caused rift in my family personally, and I’m still having to deal with the feelings of betrayal, hurt and anxiety… hang in there. I know that we’re hanging on with you.
I can't wait to see your new beginnings! I moved to Berlin after living abroad for two years and it's a completely new chapter for me as well. exciting and scary at the same time. We got this! :)
I love your videos so much, I am always so much more productive after watching them. Best of luck in your new place - it’s so cool!
Please could I request an updated skincare routine? I think we have the same skin type and I’d die to have skin like yours!
