Hello all. I just turned 34 and I’m so tired of the hustle and bustle of corporate America.😢😂This community is giving me hope and life.😊
Same!
Same here and I’m 41 turning 42 this year
Oh BTW.....I am in the final stretch of blasting the hell out of this leg of my life. I am 76 Stephanie, and am currently in the final stretch of my sabbatical year roaming the globe. I am almost there. I just gave up my apartment and am in an airbnb until May. Then I am off. Not sure of my first destination.. but the world is my oyster now!!! I've laid all the groundwork....stacked cash....no bills. The only thing I am working on is what you talked about here. Yep....I've decluttered...so radically that it made me nervous!!! My storage locker is now the size of a coat closet. Now I have to declutter on the more scary level.....ideas that don't work, values that don't work, friends that don't work, family (well, I decluttered there years back) ets c. etc. Stephanie, can you please have a panel of older women in their 70s and even 80s who are braving this type of leap. We have different cares and concerns and it's never DEEPLY talked about. Love you. P.S. Im hoping to do my first international sit.
I'm a 76 yr. widow , Co living to save money and get out of debt, so I can travel to move out of USA.
Wow 😮…. Wonderful you are so inspiring!❤
WoW..I so appreciate reading your and others story..I'm 65 now, have been watching Stephanie channel for few years...learning so much from other mature women and the ways they've chosen to navigate the years to come...I desire to experience more freedom..sabbatical lifestyle
How wonderful and congrats. World, look out, trace3254 is on the move!
72 Dear, hoping to follow your lead; decluttering everything; etc,etc,etc L❤ve your vision!!!!!!
I'm just TIRED... 😔
Same here 😢
Sis same😢
Speak on it, sis! We are just SO TIRED! A whole lifetime of being expected to never be tired (especially if you’re child-free), to always go above and beyond, to give & give and expect little in return. Exhausted from the expectations and burdens.
I feel y’all pain 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 im sure things will improve when we are more comfortable about looking after ourselves! 💕💓💐
Chile me too 😂
Hello ladies, I’m 55 ex truck driver forced into retirement, now working on stacking funds and declutterring then I will be in the expat streets, best wishes to you all ❣️
See you there sis! 🥰
Yes, me too
let's gooooo!
I received my PhD. 3 months ago, will be 40 in 2 months, lost my job last month, and getting divorced next month. I'm truly starting anew, and I am afraid. I hope that through your channel and followers, I can gain support through this transition with my children.
Sis you are smart you are beautiful you are important YOU GOT YOUR PHD YOU GOOOOOOO GUUUUUUURRRLLLL
Start your own practice get your own clients!! Show those babies just how strong they are through you my friend!!! Let us know how it goes
We’re here for all of it Dr. James! You’re not alone
Hello
Congrats, Dr. James from a fellow PhD soon to be two times fold. 😅 Don't give up, stay encouraged, and know that the BEST is yet to come! 😊
Hello everyone! I left my job about 6 months ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!
I'm 62 and one week into my retirement and have NO intentions of ever working anyone's job again!! It's my time 😅❤
Congratulations 🎊
Good for you! 🖤🖤
Good morning , I lost my job while suffering with cancer. I had a side hustle making wigs, so I am trying to make it my full-time gig. It's been a little rough but I am hopeful.
Is there any chance they fired you because of your cancer diagnosis? That's illegal. You should get a lawyer ASAP. It's not too late
My son in law told me to get a one way ticket. I have 4 beautiful grandchildren in Maryland. My daughter and husband have a beautiful home with lots of land, they garden. I believe that is my destiny before the end of the year.
Worked 20 yrs. In medical profession, through Word of mouth, I do short term sitting with elderly people who needs a miminal assistants. Cash only.
Good Evening everyone, I'm watching the replay from Atlanta, Ga.😊
How do you get into this field? I like talking to older people. I would definitely do it as a side gig
Hello, all!!! Over 65 here…was financially devastated by divorce, credit in the toilet from that and then the pandemic flushed it. I have two degrees, I’m healthy, fit, and I have a daughter with a career that transferred her from Orlando to Dallas. I’m giving up my $1700 a month apartment and co- living with her and family in a new state. Maybe I’ll meet my rich dream boat 🙏🏽or maybe I’ll just save up a ton of money. Either way, I’m done being angry, disappointed and feeling defeated. And reinventing myself, creating the life I dreamed of when was younger. Working on my own “moveable feast.” Looking onward and upward…Portugal, Panama, Paris, Milan, Mexico, Martinique here I come. And I couldn’t be more grateful. Blessings to all for being our own protectors and providers. Being courageous and faithful.🙏🏽Blessings to us all.
Wishing you all the best! And welcome to Dallas! 💕

Greetings all,
I’m 47 and my rebirth has made it clear that this chapter of my life no longer serves me.
Loss director job, filed for divorce, relocated to a place for a job that I no longer have. I could go on and on, but I’m focused on the next phase of my life and it’s not in the US.

I relate to your journey... agree
70 yrs old. Recently lost my husband, quit my nursing job, moved to embrace co-living with my daughter in California. Registered with Trusted Housesitter, no money and still scared to take first steps alone. 😢
I feel you there. Still need money for these housesits
Thank you!
That's a lot. Know that you'll be well and will thrive.
Hi
Just lost job ...vo habiting with mother82
I am 54, I work for toxic non-profit, and my hours and wages were cut in half. My job can be stressful and unstable. It is time for change.

I just finalized my divorce yesterday. And I asked the Lord what I should do this morning, I’m sick of “grinding” and then this video popped on my timeline! I’m watching it today. TYJ
God will definitely give direction in the midst of a storm. - praying for mental clarity for you ❤
30 years old & left a toxic work environment voluntarily in Jan. Trying to enjoy this season, but the volatility of the job market coupled with my dwindling savings makes me FEARFUL.
Hi, How are you able to stay afloat ?
@@cbreeze123 I’m working a part time job and my savings!
For my birthday, I had to start over. Left stable income, feelings of overwhelm and SHAME and on the tip of a mental breakdown. Gracefully I kept my apartment in Bogotá. However I’m starting over from the bottom making slow but steady progress. 😔
Praying for you beautiful 🙏🏾

My midlife crisis was amazing. Embrace the ego death, mourn the life you strove so hard for but it's time to let go, cleanse and renew. What comes after that ego death is better than what you were doing before.
I love it speaking to black women with kindness ❤❤❤
Yes… same 💙
This is great information and mind set is everything.
My son passed away, then lost my job and home- broken and tired but I am going to make it. Nothing can shake me at this point. Starting my own business and definitely see a tiny home in my future. I am 60 and while starting over is daunting, I have nothing to lose.
Hello everyone! I am not a black woman, I hope that's ok to write in your comment space...
I am 40 now and just lost my long time job that I sacrificed so much for. This job was my life, my identity... I realize now that's not a good thing to let a job- working for other people - dictate your life and to identify with it. Because after I was discarded at the beginning of just this year, I've been struggling with who I even am now. What I should be doing... I feel ashamed, I feel like a huge failure, a loser... I've been struggling with depression to the point where I stopped trying to get my unemployment because I had some hurdles in my way to get there... I just didn't have the nerves/ strength for all the nonsense. My health took a huge hit and I started having lots of pain and issues with my feet, couldn't even walk some days. I'm hoping to get a change of perspective and the courage and strength to start fresh, but for myself from now on... Thank you for letting me vent...
Hope/Pray you are in a better mind set now. Keep moving and looking up.
@@joyfulsoul4967 Thank you...
Hello! Was just told about you last night by a friend and I think I’m finally home.
Welcome 🙌
@@BeComingNyrell Thank you!
This community is so life-giving and safe. Thank you, Stephanie Perry!
I lost my home to a fire and looking for a different way to live
I am 68 years old. I have been co living most of my life. I grew up with 4 generations living in our house. My cousin and a friend are currently living with me. We spent 17 days in Europe last October. Compromise is essential for successful co living but it works for us.
I’m co-living now with my daughter.
same here..in the caribbean...on our way back to brazil so we can spend a lot less...i love it
I am starting over in my fifties after leaving my job. I have the privilege of co-living with my parents, keeping my expenses low, and embracing this time to declutter what is no longer serving me - old habits, attitudes, limiting beliefs, and stuff. Seeking my next chapter.

That frustration you expressed is how we ALL feel. Holding it in can be detrimental to your health / happiness. I’m glad you let a little of it out. ❤️
Replay! Getting laid off in May and moving abroad with my daughter sooo excited!!
I don’t mind living with someone. The circumstances have to be right and we have to keep communicating a priority.
Good morning all,
I missed the live! And I was too busy putting around my flowers to give curb appeal to my home that is going on the market in 7 days! Then on to traveling plans and moving to Mexico by June 2024. Thanks most to YOU Stephanie, Adalia & OBU! Thank you!
Good for you! I'm in the process of preparing my home to sell. Freedom feels Damn Good! Blessings to you.🎉❤❤

Good evening from Portugal. I really appreciate the safe space that you have created.
Do you like living in Portugal?
Hellllerrrr! I’m just here on the replay! Can we talk about Stephanie’s voice? Am I the only one who tunes in for the content and her calming tone? Who feels like everything’s gonna be alright after listening ???Raise your hand if you think Stephanie should do some guided meditations/affirmations on her own app! ✋🏾Of course I’m happy to listen to keep listening to the RUclips’s! 💃🏿
Good morning! I missed the LIVE by just a bit, but my morning hadn't gotten started yet.
I quit a job after 16 years in August last year. Switched to a new one to stack cash to make my getaway in a few years. Found the environment toxic (my Caucasian male friend who recommended the job doesn't have the same experience I do while working there). Called my old boss to get my former job back, and he was totally willing, but HR and "the rules" were making the deal worse for me (reduced leave and sick time earned). So I withdrew and I'm back to this job I don't like and find overwhelming. Just trying to tough it out FIVE years until I can retire at 60. I should've saved a LOT more money. If you're young, stack that cash NOW.

I "retired" from my job feb '23 just after turing 64. Presently im decluttering and not she were my first destination is yet, but I'm ready
Am 52 I currently work in a warehouse for 10 hours a day my legs are starting to hurt and I have a learning disability 😢am trying to start an online business selling T-shirt but it’s hard thank you for this 😢
Hello everyone. Yes, I was released at 60+ and felt hurt, embarrassed, doomed, etc. Five months later after soul searching and now transitioning to a better life developing my dreams. I would not have imagined my dreams while grinding on someone else's agenda. I'm blessed right where I stand and grateful for the next chapters in my life. It wasn't easy getting here but I have arrived. Hang in there and reimagine how your day would begin according to your agenda. Slowly make those changes and bring them to fruition.
replay watcher here. Cambly was a great option for me when i got divorced and needed quick additional cash on top of my full time job. The schedule was flexible and could do from my house.
Greetings Stephanie and chat. I love all my black sisters. 🫂🫂🫂
I’m in the middle of a divorce planning to relocate. I’m a U.S.Marine Corps Veteran as well. I’ve traveled overseas as a Marine and look forward to traveling and starting over as a single civilian. Looking forward to living again. I’ve got a testimony and a book inside. Please 🙏🏾 continue to keep us. I look forward to house 🏠 sitting or simply traveling again. I live in Virginia Beach and had no idea how to find house sitting opportunities until this post. My plan is to relocate to Texas but overseas is a welcome alternative. Thank you so much for offering this service and encouraging RUclips channel.
Good morning from California. Starting over after 64 yrs young 😊
Grandrising Stephanie, you’ve
been a light in my life. I’m a 38-year-old with one fur baby living in my car. Because I decided to leave an unhappy marriage, now I'm starting over in the process of reinventing myself. These RUclips videos that you make have been a guide for me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Stephanie lost my job jan 2024. I will deeply listening to this in depth.
Good evening! I am 51 yrs old and have recently lost my home because of my significant decrease in my income along with the rapid inflation cost of living in the U.S., so I was blessed into a co -living environment that is very temporary. I am working technical certifications as a career pivot from designing homes (that I could not even afford to buy...smh). I apologize, Lol, I'm ranting now. I am highly interested in living outside of the U.S. before this year is up. I am thinking that house sitting is a good option for me since my adult children and one parent are spread out in different continents at the moment. I just downloaded the housesitting guided. Love, peace, light and continued blessings to you & thank you for sharing!
This video is so timely. I got laid off last year. Started a new job in the Fall and quickly discovered my boss was not a fan of melanated women. Now unemployed again, I am looking/needing to make a serious life pivot at 38 years old. Thank you for the tips and inspiration to transform my life. And thank you for sharing one of your three topics near the end of the video! 🍉
I'm in the same boat, and age I'm ready for a change
Good morning ladies! I’m 51, medical coder, and in the process of starting over after 50. I love the community I found with exodus summit group.

Hi ladies, watching the replay. Wishing us all a healthy and relaxing lifestyle.🤎🌸
Watching each and every video. The “always on and doing and taking care of everyone but me has totally destroyed me mentally physically and emotionally. Figuring it out and this is speaking to my soul. Pray for me please.
Hello. Missed the live; watching the replay. I am ready to leave my job at soon to be 61 years old.
Hey Stephanie love ❤️ your channel. l want to house 🏡 next year. 🎉
Love and kindness always!! Thank you Queen! I turned 50 this month- looking forward to celebrating yours in July in Dubai!
I got tired as a young mom and started global living with my 2 kids. 18 years in! Ladies just do it! Living abroad is so much better than struggle life in the US.. Stephanie, excellent content! Community Care is the Truth!
Greetings to you and all. So glad that there’s a platform to support us black women. I want change. I want to make changes in my life that serves me. I work the 9-5 corporate yet I’m glad I’m a remote worker but on the flip side is that I hardly get outside. I want to travel more and really embrace life!
Good morning everyone!
Missed the beginning of the live, but first to comment! 😁 I'm currently on a sabbatical - one year has turned to one and a half years. May not ever go back to Canada except in the summers. Thanks for the informative topic. I do freelance technical writing, but I'm finding that you have to hustle for those clients, and the work and therefore the pay isn't always consistent.
I used to spend too much time prospecting for clients when I was a virtual assistant. It sucked. I wish I has positioned myself differently and did things like content marketing and speaking at conferences to get a stream of clients like @wes mcdowell does.
@@StephaniePerry Thanks! I'll check her out.
I'm co living.
Good morning! God Bless you. I have been thinking, praying about how to start over at 75. I need this. I lost the use of my hands after a spinal surgery.
Hello Stephanie and everyone! So glad to have found this GREAT group of supportive new friends.
I'm 53, starting over and PROUD! 25 years of robotics for a company that didn't care a thing about me became overwhelming.
I watched a couple of your videos before I found this one. I saw this one...I thought OMG she's talking to me. How did she know I was feeling like this... how did she know I was thinking that same thing OMG. Hello new family 🧘🏾♀️🫶🏾✨🩷❣️

Hi👋 . Lost my job, lost my mom who was the only parent left, and moved back to my country with children, so it's a starting over on a higher level. Unfortunately, we have no one to live with, no family or relatives. But we will get there😊. Thanks for always sharing great content for us black women Stephanie ❤

Congrats on being featured in the wall street journal Stephanie 🎉❤
I’m 51 and ended my almost 20 year career this past September. My home is paid for. Only property taxes, homeowners insurance, monthly bills, and groceries. I’m living off of my savings. I haven’t tapped into my retirement funds YET. I also have a pension plan , but I have to be at least 55 to start receiving partial retirement benefits, or 58 for full benefits. I’ve been using this time to rest and travel. I loved Costa Rica🇨🇷 ! My 12 yr old didn’t want to leave 😢… Okay so my dilemma is this. I LOVE ❤️to travel, and I fancy the idea of moving abroad. However, I don’t have any set career plans moving forward. House sitting sounds great, but I’m a full time mother, and can’t figure out hours to do this with my kid. I’m not an animal person per se. 🆘

Hello everyone. I’m 24.. Left my stable job last October to drive for Amazon (was well needed but also a mistake and inconsistent hours) fast forward to March I got fired the day I had a minor car accident, (I didn’t have insurance because I had to pay the car note and my rent and it lapsed. So I had my car and license plate taken and had to get everything back.) started working for my mom again (it’s been a struggle), lost my apartment and fast forward to last Monday I flipped my car and it was totaled. (I’m okay though thank God). So I’m pretty much stripped of everything. I have support but I feel like a complete failure. I’m looking at the brighter side of everything. And hopefully I can somehow get completely back on my feet😭.
Thanks God that you are definitely here for a purpose and God hand of protection is all over you. Let this stand a a testimony of God restore everything you lost and returning it in 3 months. ❤Be encouraged you will make it

Good Morning Everyone!
I was a virtual assistant for a few years and have not wanted to return. The idea of teaching business owners how to use AI is totally something I'd be interested in and I hadn't thought about that prior to hearing it here.
Hi Stephanie! Similar to you I left my job in 2016 - a "good government job with a pension"! Thank you so much for talking about "co-living" in the context of letting your community take care of you. I hadn't thought about it that way. Your emphasis on Black Women deserving to be taken care of is always on point. I wonder if sometimes we reject this in our lives because of our historical trauma. I wonder if we subconsciously feel we don't deserve to be taken care of. Thank you for helping us to reject that notion and demonstrating how to embrace LOVING KINDNESS from others! ♥♥♥♥
Enjoying the replay. This video was on time.🙏🏽❤️

I have a bachelor's in social work. Most of the remote SW jobs require a Master's degree.
