    Hi lovelies, Hi lovelies, where you live can significantly impact your personal growth by giving different opportunities. Early last year, I realized I needed a change, so I decided to relocate. In this video, I'm talking about all things going through my mind as I'm starting life from scratch all over again in my late 30s.
    Love, Poppy xx

    I tuned 39 last month. I'm unmarried with no children
    I'm going to start a Masters full-time in a whole new country within the next few months. I'm pivoting in my career to do what I want to do and not what I can bend myself into. You're going to be fine. We're going to be fine because we're living our own lives and not what is deemed as " settling down " by society. Continue to walk bravely!

      how do you do it? I lost my job since aug 23 and I have been in shambles since. Everyone told me to enjoy the time, and it's true that many months have passed. But even though its been months since my layoff, I've been worried and dreading every single day - not knowing when I'll finally get a job. I can 100% say that I did not rest at all during this time. I'd love to hear your perspectives on taking this leap, as I have not found the strength to give myself this grace to enjoy life as it is

      If you have children they will require some stability moving around a lot is hard on them and their development.

You can have a home base and still explore the world and all of its opportunities. I understand what you’re saying, though. I do think stability is good for kids. We don’t have them and we don’t plan to, though.

    I'm much younger, currently 26. At 25 I decided to move across the world and start from scratch. No friends, no connections, just a job I had applied for before moving over.
    It's been a little under a year now and my life is completely different. I've accomplished so many goals, overcome so many challenges, and have even found love. I feel like moving was what propelled me into this future I have today -- and I am extremely thankful I made that leap of faith.
    Best of luck in America!

    I think it's really amazing that you are able to start over, I was 27 when I moved to another state from everything I have ever known and am still "establishing" I suppose. In this time since I have started over and moved and changed jobs and everything, so much has come from it - I met my person, I am working to build a life I have always wanted and its like I am rediscovering myself for the first time here again. Never stop starting over from scratch, like code or even art there are many iterations of the best version of you! Which I am still trying to give grace to. Love your content, thank you for motivating me as well. It's easy to become complacent.

    Im turning 30 later this year and it's incredibly daunting and scary because I still dont have a clue what i want to do in life in terms of my career. I'm also single and can't see that changing any time soon because of my lack of social life.
    I think it's comforting to know that others are experiencing the same problems.
    I don't think I've seen the best version of myself since i was in university. I've wanted to live in another country to push myself out of my comfort zone, but I've been too lazy and procrastinate too much, so it never happened.
    I hope we can all find that drive and ambition that we need in life

    thank you so much for this video. I don't know you but your video came up randomly. I will be 36 in July and I have struggled to change my career for years. I finally went back to uni a year ago to pursue my passion but I have been totally depressed because I have had no lack in finding any job at all. I left a career were I was stable and had good income(but was so stressed I could not sleep at night) but now am back living with my parents cause I can't find a job. I keep trying but nothing seem to work. For society and many people around me, I am crazy cause I refuse to go back to my previous job and often I question myself too. I hope something will change soon. Changing successfully career at our age is not that easy and what is worse is the way all this is making me feel ashamed and like a big failure. Thanks for your words. They made me feel a bit better.

When you mentioned that the environment doesn’t allow you to develop as a person, something woke up in me since I don’t have the freedom to do what I’d like. You made me understand that it’s not about material things and comprehend the true importance of changing people and places. Thank you for making this video, it helped me more than you imagine.

    I just turned 36 this year, married, got one child and got another one on the way this year. We can all start over at anytime when it feels right to do so - that is something I can relate and agree. However, it is scary and not beneficial for both men and women remaining single and not having children long term wise. Having a soul mate and rearing a family is an essential honor and duty to our ancestor's wishes to continue the bloodline. I acknowledge there's a pool of childless singletons and couples but I wouldn't be influenced by their reality. It is important to take control, its like ignoring the nail sticking out that needs to be hammered. For me, its an achievement and a relief.

Might have mentioned I'm 36 myself, trying my best to change my destiny. And your encouraging words have been on my mind for many days since I stumbled upon your channel. Enjoy yourself in the USA Poppy. I wish you all the best, and hope you continue to share the chapters of your life with the universe. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that you truly are helping people with what you have to say. And the quote you have for a tattoo is just a remarkable statement I'm glad I heard today of all the days. Best regards from Macau, and thank you again :)

    It's so sad that we have boxed ourselves in a perceived category as per society..... go to school-get a degree-get a job-get married-have kids-retire-die. If you are a certain age and don't reach certain goals , then people start badgering you.
    I wish people practiced the adage - live and let live !!!!
    No1 ... I repeat , no1 should be made to feel guilty of where they are in life... as long as you are happy and hustling and working hard for your happiness , you do you.

    Thanks for this video. It's true what you said about failure. Sometimes things don't work out how we want, but that doesn't mean they are failures. They are great opportunities to learn. And even if it doesn't look like we are making any progress, we are. The process is different for everyone, and we shouldn't judge others or ourselves at any time.

    Just found your channel, thanks for the relatable and empowering message and life experiences on failure, goals, and starting over! This video had such inspirational and insightful words! Morgan Harper Nichols has a quote that says " be kind to yourself on this journey, you have already come so far." Thanks for reminding us of this! Great idea about learning new skills, I have been watching Diane in Denmark Friday videos on her RUclips channel, where she gives four self-care assignments for the week and she mentioned creativity one week. Thank you again, your video along with a video by Cam Does It called finding peace and happiness amongst the mundanity has been really motivational this week!

We did plan to settle here before we moved. But life has plans , In 3 years time we are planning to move to Asia, either Thailand, India or Indonesia. I am equally excited and worried. Its a blessing and a curse to have plan B.
    All the best . When you have the confidence, it becomes like a obvious reason to move. Go with the flow, life is going to be beautiful.😊

    Life is a strange journey, and sometimes things happen in life which can be the spark which send you on a completely different trajectory.
    Enjoy the ride, and without challenges there are no victories.

    Society has created so much of an unconditional way of living and thinking. They’ve successfully brain washed lots of if not all humans to live up to that manuscript. Everyone curate a life accordingly , taking a leap or following your inner voice that echos fear, well it’s because the society made sure you developed an emotion when time like this present itself in your life. You may not believe into that fear that trying hard to talk you down but your conscious doesn’t unsee it. That’s why we cry and express sadness and fear. I applaud you for your courage. Freedom comes with courage and you my friend have that. I’m 44 and I’m still figuring it out. I’m excited to venture and create new opportunities and dive deep in things that appeal to me. Work towards my own guidance and set of rules, I’ll let them talk and form their opinions while I enjoy my venture. Best wishes on your new exciting journey, brave people make changes and brave people live with courage❤️
