Congrats! Quitting a job is so brave and rewarding, weird to say that but so true. I started a new job in September and quit by November. I was so unhappy and burnt out in less than three months. Did a lot of soul searching and crying but it was so empowering to quit. Now I’m at a job that cares about my mental health and workload. Is it the dream job, no, but when you’re surrounded by good people and you feel your purpose that’s what matters. So happy you’re finding your happiness!
Hey 👋🏻 This resonates so much. I started a new job in October and I feel burned out like never before. I don’t feel a purpose at all. Haven’t found the words to describe why I am so miserable. And you worded it perfectly. Wishing you all the best 🫶
Congratulations Alia! This is a huge step in your career & you should be so proud of yourself. You got this far because of your passion and grit and you will go so so much farther!
I quit my my job as an RN last two years ago after almost 16 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness, but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!
right now I run my own business and While I was still in service l planned towards early retirement, making about 2k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
@@shallyshedrak4905 wow impressive! You're making quite a fortune speaking of investing I have heard about this but I don't really know how to start and make a good investment. please can you explain?
@betrice rashford Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I so agree with you! I just started a new nursing job and I'm already just tired of it. Thanks for bravely being honest and kindly telling us to be wise too!
Quit my job recently but have to get another one cause I don’t feel like I have anything creative to offer!! Please enjoy that you have these options and that you are great at them ❤
You truly inspire me, and give me this sense of comfort. I’ve been feeling the same way lately, and it’s okay to give up on things that aren’t okay for us at a certain time! Thank you for this video!!!
this makes so much sense, I'm so happy you're making decisions that are good for your health! I honestly don't know how you've been doing it all for so long, major props to you because I would've tapped out ages ago haha. can't wait to follow along on your full time content creator journey!
So excited to see you thrive!! I think this video is really important in the sense that it shows it is important to listen to your health (mentally especially) and adjust life according to it
I totally felt the good vibes:) I'm a freelance translator and have a lot of free time too, because I'm selective about what assignments I take on and I'm generally fast. What I struggle with at times is not feeling guilty for having that free time. I often feel like I should be doing something, like volunteering, learning a new skill, or even taking on work that I don't enjoy that much, because who knows what tomorrow will bring. But it's also hard to commit to anything too time-consuming, because sometimes I have a lot of work and everything else falls by the wayside. I guess what I mean by this rant is that it's hard to find that sweet spot where you have enough work but not too much, where you feel challenged but not drained. And if anyone has any suggestions for how to enjoy abundant free time without guilt, I'm all ears.
Congratulations! Was always curious what the next step for content creators are. For those who do youtube or are Ig creators, what happens when they’re 40, 50 years old? What do they put on their resume and what jobs do they go for next?
we can truly see that leaving your job make you feel and look more lightfull. And I know it is also the coming back of the sun that really makes you blossom.
Congratulations on being a full-time content creator/podcaster. I know it was the best option for you. RUclips is a hobby/side hustle for me. I am thinking of quitting my job and get a new one. It’s not worth the micro aggressions and stress, but when you have a family/pets to provide for you cannot just leave. With that being said, I appreciate you for sharing. You made me think a bit about my current situation, but in a good way😅✌🏾
you do you, alia! adressing your needs and priorities is important, and we (your subscribers) will always support you, being there every step of the way! good luck on your new journey!
So proud of you Alia! These are big news 👏❤️ you took the best decision for yourself for sure! I'm sure you feel so relieved and less anxious now, you finally have the time to prioritize yourself as well ✨️
I love your videos so much, so glad I found your channel!!!! They always bring me so much calm and happiness. Happy to hear that you've found some balance and hopefully that means more videos for us!!
finalllllyyy! so happy for you!!! I think it's amazing you tried out the corporate world but even more amazing that you let yourself fully realize that it's not for you. Working for yourself is the best feeling ever as you know with youtube all these years! go girl!
I'm really enjoying the evolution of your videos. I'm a longtime follower and from last year to this year, it's good to see all the small changes you've made, along with just staying true to what is "You" and the things that make you whole inside. I'm glad that your back to reading, cooking veggies and just taking in your surroundings. Those are things that I know bring you joy and for me as a viewer seeing that tells me I'm not weird for feeling the same way when I do these kind of things for myself:)
I just want to say that I love that you show getting caught up with scrolling because it is such a truth that is not talked or shown! Thank you for being authentic and true to our everyday life ❤
Congratulations! I feel like my full time corporate job ruins me daily, I’m not only burnt out, I feel like a pile of ashes 😢 on top of the war that takes place in my country for one year straight. 😢 so I am happy to see that you are doing so much better, it inspires.
I'm so happy for you Alia!! You are my biggest inspiration right now and it makes me so happy to see you made a whole career out of being a content creator. I recently cut my hours down to part time at my job so I could make time to finish a digital marketing course and perhaps start up my youtube again and I feel so much lighter and over all more optimistic now that I'm taking the time to do things for ME.
I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw you post this video, it came right when I needed it! I'm currently doing alevels (which are big exams in the uk if you didn't know) and I am so stressed but this really calmed me down and I just wanna say thank you and I hope you have a much deserved more relaxed time!
Re: what are you guys reading: I'm almost done with 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman and it is SO SO good. Would definitely recommend reading it since you're in this transition time, I think it would really hit!
I like your way of thinking and lifestyle💓 Recently,I started to study English to speak it with my favorite teacher who is from Canada and Disney characters in Disney land. Your movie motivates me! I will continue to do my best.
So happy for you, Alia! I can already see such an increase in your happiness. You make such comforting content that makes people feel good. So happy you can focus on that now. Cheers to your new chapter 🎉
I've been literally smiling from ear to ear the ENTIRE video! I am so happy for you for letting that stressful job go! I have been there and done that. For creative artists, certain jobs can really almost drain the creative energy out of you where you don't have the time to do you and be yourself. Your new refreshed energy totally shines thru in this vlog in how you look and the things you did in it. You go Alia! You're on the right track!🌻✨️
It is so important to listen to ourselves because if your boss tells you to finish sth up by Friday, you will but if you told yourself that u’ll start exercising next week you prolly wont cause we lose the sense of self respect. Congrats on quitting your 9-5 job Ali, it takes a lot of courage and self love🤍
I feel you girl, I decided to take a semester break next semester because I just need a breather the stress and anxiety that comes when you’re too full is just too much. We need to take care of ourselves
Hi Alia. Thank you very much for sharing a helful video. Your video helped me overcoming a huge stress due to quitting job and failing the driving exam. Just stay in positive thinking and taking care mental health and physical health 👍🏻
I really like the feeling I have while watching ur vlogs. these videos are so simple but it inspires and calms me so much. its like I find my soulmate with who I feel so comfortable. thank you for these feelings❤
🤗🥰 almost hard to put into words...but yay ♥️♥️♥️ so good to see you prioritizing your health and enjoying everyday and way less stress...many blessings to you on your new journey...can't wait for more content...much love from Socal 🤗🥰♥️
Congrats! I know how it feels girl! I've made that decision last year and it's really challenging but it`s so rewarding you never regret! Love your content ❤
Alia, I look forward to your videos all the time. My dream is to move to Seattle and every time I watch one of your videos it makes me that much more committed to my dream ❤ can’t wait to see you blossom into this roll of being a full time content creator!
Congratulations!! I quit my 9-5 3 years ago and even on the worst days (it can get pretty challenging sometimes) it’s still infinitely better than the corporate/w-2 life 😄🙌 Super happy for you!
This is such exciting news and I’m so happy for you! I’ve watched your channel from the very start and I was honestly very surprised to hear you were taking a FT job after college. I always assumed you would go full-time with your content. I hope you enjoy your new schedule and free time and that many blessings continue to flow for you and yoni ❤️
I've been having a bad week, and I felt really depressed which felt like forever. I was looking for advice on yt and seen your video, which made me realize the pattern I've been getting stuck in mindlessly just beating my self with these negative thoughts. alia you really inspire me to get back on track and to stress less, you make me feel calm also felt the really good vibes in your video, Keep making great videos!!!!!!! You Da BESTTTT. Also listened to your podcast during my work Ep 60 Stressed.
Alia, I’m so happy to hear you came to a decision that felt right for you ❤! I always take on more things than I can handle and I end up not taking care of myself properly. Nothing is worth compromising yourself over so I’m really happy to hear you chose what is best for you 😊
definitely felt the good vibes! congrats!!! we can tell by watching this that you already feel super good about this decision! reminded me of your old vlogs :)
hey alia, i’ve been a huge fan of yours for years and would love to see you pop up on tik tok more often. i think your content there could be great and bring some joy to that app ❤
Omg! Congrats on this huge step in your career!!! I plan to quit my part time job at the end of this year to go full time in my photography business ❤️

I don't really like my job but I love what it provides for me and my family. The pandemic has people rethinking working
What do you do now and how did you plan yourself before quitting?
right now I run my own business and While I was still in service l planned towards early retirement, making about 2k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income

Sat down and watched your vlog while embroidering. Felt like spending time with a friend. Thanks for the comfort 💞
