    CONGRATS ESTHER!! Breaking that Asian immigrant mindset is hard and I'm still working my way through it but you really inspire me. Seeing your vlogs and listening to your podcast has really touched me as there aren't a lot of young Asian women who speak their truth on the internet. Thank you again for sharing your story!

    congrats esther!!! I found you when I was also working in social media management and loved your work vlogs, but now i feel like it's so important to shift from thinking of quitting your job from being "unemployed" to being "self employed" since content creation is WAY more hours than 9-5 ahah and that's a lesson I'm glad I can learn through your process! excited to see you continue to grow!

    as someone going through a very similar phase I know how scary it can be to step away from the stable path you're already on. kudos to you esther for taking that step! wishing you the very best in this new chapter and excited to see what you get up to next 💫

    I want to leave my 9-5 to develop interests into income, but I have such a huge fear in doing so because my 9-5 is literally the reason I can even indulge in interests and live comfortably. My immigrant parents also depend on me a little financially and so I only have myself to fall back on if anything goes wrong or if things don’t work out. Congrats on overcoming the fear of the unknown, I hope I can too one day. Thanks for your realness.

    I just stumbled on your channel and I’m so glad I did! I put in my two weeks on Monday and I can definitely feel your emotions through the screen. The heart pounding, anxiety inducing feeling completely vanished when I told my boss I wanted to resign. Thank you for sharing and being open about that generational tradition to get a degree, get a job, be an adult because that’s not a one-size fit all lifestyle. I am super excited to start my new journey with creating content and I am excited to see you grow :)

    I knew Esther first from Michelle's vlog tbh, but i found myself enjoy watching her videos. This video in particular really hit me in the heart. I 100% feel everything Esther was saying about uncertainty etc. and i'm proud of you for taking the big decision and knowing what u want in life. Hopefully i can do the same in the future.
    Looking forward on whats next for you, girl!! Excited with you

    awww i was always a fan of you working as a 9-5 worker in front of the computer even though you didnt reveal much of your job in the vlogs. But i get that it’s time for you to move forward to another chapter and what you really want to do, so i am happy for you! Looking forward to seeing the free Dobby ~~ Congratsss!!

    That's so crazy about the pregnancy dream and the interpretation being spot on. Props to you for leaving your 9-5 to pursue your passion career! I'm a content strategist too in the corporate world. There's so much job instability during this time, so it's important to think of multiple streams of income as you said. Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts on this topic 😌🙌🏽

  • @colleenconway5109

  • @alexagarciaf.278
    @alexagarciaf.278 2 года назад +3

    I can relate to this video (sort of). All my life I thought that all I ever wanted was stability and a high income, that's why I studied engineering (because I'm good at math/physics). I like it but definitively is not my passion, I want a more relax work, with work/life balance, I want to be able to spend time with my dog, with myself, etc. I don't know what I'm going to do but I do know that I don't want to work at this pace for the rest of my life.

    What a huge accomplishment! You should be so proud of yourself for doing this! I quit my 'stable' job at then end of 2019 and I'm so much happier, healthier, and it was never as scary as I thought it would be. One of my favorite quotes from Terence McKenna talks about how God/ nature/ the universe LOVES courage, and it says, "This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering that it is a feather bed." Congratulations, Esther! You have so many AMAZING things coming your way!!!

  • @skyestinson6499
    @skyestinson6499 2 года назад +7

    I'm 27, mom immigrated to the states, and I had the same mindset where I thought having just one job 9-5 was great. I still really enjoy a 9-5 but I recently, a couple years ago started working on a second stream of income which honestly just pushed me up in the financial bracket. It's enough to live off alone (uncomfortably) if I were ever in the unfortunate circumstance of being laid off. The more I think about finances, having multiple streams of income is so secure. It's a little bit of work upfront but will pay off so well in the long run. Working on my 3rd now and want to be in the range of 3-7 end goal.

    • @cynthesizer
      @cynthesizer Год назад

      Hey, I hope you've been doing well since you left this comment! Do you think you can share how you thought of ideas for additional streams of income/what to commit to pursuing? I'm 25, recently started a new 9-5 that's not too well-paying (chose it for other reasons). I've been really worried about stability and thinking about how the places I am putting in effort may not be bringing much return. So much uncertainty not knowing where to invest time up front

    @88ashjen 2 года назад +1

    I’m not from an immigrant family but I agree with growing up in the BIPOC community with learning finances later and not being as informed. I’m definitely in your mindset and wanting to move on to grow because I’m not right now. I just need that confidence. Also very excited for you and your career change! It’ll all work out.

    예은님 결정하기까지 고민이 많았을텐데, 이렇게 공유해줘서 감사해요! 최근에 비슷한 이유로 마음이 복잡했는데 나 혼자만이 아니라는 생각에 많이 위로가 되고 용기가 되었어요! 예은님 말처럼 지금 할수 있는일에 집중하며 하루하루 꼭꼭 눌러서 살아가기로 다시한번 다짐합니다:-) 앞으로 예은님과 더 자주 소통하고 볼수 있다는 사실에 설레이고 기뻐요!🎉 I'm rooting for you☺️
