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!
Esther’s unemployed y’all, we gotta help her out with views😂 I’ve been watching since day 1. Seeing your friendship with michelle and you doing greater and bigger things!! Cheers to the new beginnings🥂
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
You and Joon will always have my support. You are such a good example for everyone. We are all lucky to have you in our lives. Thats why we are watching afterall.
Congrats! Life is always fluctuating and if something is no longer serving you I think it just shows that you’re growing as a person 😌 and discovering more about who you are and what you want. Excited for this new path!
OMG ESTHER! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! i love your confidence and the goals/vision you set for yourself. you are such an inspiration. i'm super excited for your future and i will be rooting for you! thanks for letting all of us be part of it!
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 😌🙌🏽
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.
You’re inspiring, Esther! It takes a lot to be courageous enough to following your true desires/passions. Love your videos, excited to stay on for the ride 🎢
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!!!
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.
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
Soo proud of you Ester!!! I’m dealing with similar issues and I feel like this was a confirmation for me to follow through with my plans and what’s best for me. I wish you the best; God’s gotchu!
I am so proud of you! It’s scary not knowing the next chapter of your life and taking a leap of faith. But I think it’s super awesome that you are letting in change for the opportunity to grow and blossom into a more beautiful you ❤️ ❤️
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☺️
This made me so emotional, I really love your videos and they bring me so much happiness! I’m so excited for you and this next journey you’ll be on, can’t wait to see what’s next! I found you and Freesia both through Michelle, and so glad I did!
i can really relate to what you had to go through in terms of how you were feeling at work. I really don't think full time jobs are secure anymore and it can eat your energy when you are undervalued. Congrats! to your courage and the new journey
congrats esther! i’ll be one of those supporting ur new path 🫶🏽 i can’t wait to hear more episodes on ur podcast as well. just so so excited to be a part of ur journey!
I’ve been thinking a lot about career and what I want to do with my life too, and so I just really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts from your experience. Proud of you for taking that leap of faith to do something you’re passionate about! I honestly find it inspiring 😊
I am thinking to do the same. Asian parents always told us to suck it up, and whatever we are going through somehow it's not a big deal. I am currently job hunting and can't wait for the day to come. Thank you !
예은님 우선 새출발을 너무너무 축하드려요!!!💚 정말 너무나도 신기하게도 저도 비슷한 고민을 격렬히 하고 있는 찰나에 얼마전 그런 꿈을 꿔서 이건 도대체 뭐지………? 하면서 혼란스러웠는데 꿈 해석을 딱 읽어주셔서 너무 공감가고 더 마음에 와닿고 예은님의 용기에 박수를 꼭 드리고 싶었어요!! 👏 지금까지 풀타임과 유튜브를 이렇게 병행해오신것도 너무 대단하시고 저에게 예은님 영상이 되게 inspiring 한게 많아서 잘 보고 있다는 감사의 표현을 한번쯤 꼭 드리고 싶어서 댓글 달아요!😌 예은님 앞으로의 일들도 응원해요!!✨ LA에서 즐거운 시간 보내고 계시길 바래요 :)
Congrats sister for taking such a courageous huge step in your life! 🌹 I’ve always love watching your videos and listened to all your podcasts! Sending big love to you and I wish you the very best for your new adventure xx 🫶🏻♥️
Congrats Esther!! I KNOW you're going to succeed! You have that contagious personality that people are drawn to and want to continually watch your content 🤗
Congrats! I can imagine how hard and daunting of a decision it must have been to come down to, but really encouraging and inspiring to hear and witness :) best of luck!
Congrats! And everything will work out!! 💕 My goal is to make RUclips my side hustle but still trying to build up my channel. It’s pretty discouraging at times but also something I really enjoy doing so I’m still keeping at it! Would love a video on tips you received to get started and how you were able to get sponsors! 😊
this video was dope, Esther. Also I like your podcast!!! When you take steps like this is makes me believe I can do it one day too. You are only going up from here I can tell!
This is exciting Esther!! God will guide you through every step of this. 😉😊 I've been thinking that you are gonna move back to L.A. for awhile now. Looking forward to this next phase in your life.💯💥🎉🎉🎉🎉💙💜💚🧡❤💯
In my culture, dreaming about being pregnant usually means that you’ve been worried about something in your life as if it was a burden, or made you anxious for a long time. It’s interesting seeing the different interpretations of dreams in different cultures! 😂😍
Yayayya! So happy with you taking this step Esther. Cannot wait to see more vlogs and listening to your podcast(again). Good luck for your next chapter
If you do mind me asking, what is your job (9-5) what did you do? Love your On the Floor! I still remember when you first started with the first ep with michelle and freesia! I love listening to it!
Amazing news! Good luck with everything and remember that everything is going work out exactly how it is supposed to and that everything in life happens for a reason! ❤

As someone who took a huge step out, quit her job and went in a new direction. I congratulate you! live it up.
