I was deeply unhappy with everything around me: job, boyfriend, friends and used money to buy crap. I found minimalism, got rid of crap, boyfriend, job, friends and found myself in the process 👌😎

I must say this is one of your best videos, and this is coming from someone who's watched lots of them. Not only the production and editing, which are impeccable, but the topic was beautifully developed. Congratulations girl! Take a moment and feel proud of yourself.

I have been following you for a little over a year, and I want to say that I am so proud of you, I just love your videos.

Love that you said you became your own hero 😁❤ easy to feel like a victim at times, but we forget we can also become our own heroes.

I've learnt that I'm in charge of how I react to situations. If something negative happens I can either dwell on it and fall into a depression or reframe the situation, learn from it and move on. Also to not be so hard on myself when I fail. It's always an ongoing process

That just because I’m not “influencing” the masses *social media etc. doesn’t make me less than. -Mom of 4 little humans

A simple but effective life-lesson my mom forever would tell us - “You will always have LESS than someone, as much as you will always have MORE than someone in this world...” In my 40’s and I still find happiness in that and reiterate her message whenever needed to my own two daughters. Great vid btw! ;) Congrats & stay happy! ☮️ {Edit!!~ btw new subscriber! 😉}

That other people's validations of my choices will never feel as good as I think it will ❤️❤️

This video composition and editing was truly art 👌🏼

I happen to watch this video of yours after feeling low and a bit mad at myself for not making time to organize my room/myself.. I started watching your video and liked within a minute or two, but I must say a lot of things that you said or showed resonated with me so much that I had moments of wanting to re-like and re-re-like it ❤️ Love it so much! Very uplifting ❤️🙏

the important lesson I realized recently and still learning is that, the people's social life is changing, everyone is becoming more individual and lonely which can be hard, but just like in the nature in order to survive the changes\evolution I have to adapt and be strong.

I love the fact that you are being yourself and realistic. I can 100% relate to this 🌼

Love these lessons that I know I am still learning. Fear of failure, being judged & rejection, have stopped me from doing so much in my life. Now, at 57 - nearly 58 - I am in the process of becoming unstuck. It is scary but what have I got to lose? Failure? ✅ Done that. Limiting beliefs? ✅ Got those. Inner self critic? ✅ Oh, she’s still there! Before I forget, where did you get your super duper office chair? I am looking for a chair with good lower back support & yours looks great 🦋

Blessed moments of failure! We can learn so much from our failures but only if we are humble and patient

Biggie (aka The Notorious B.I.G.) said Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems. That was his song. Not Jay-Z. They were friends, though.

Lots of hard earned wisdom here, thank you ❤️. I’m saving this to watch again when I need some inspiration. I love this: “the hardest lift is the one off your couch” 🤣

A way that I really helped my life is taking my vitamins everyday, not just my medication. It helps me feel better and more awake. Before I would become tired 2 hours after waking up and had no energy. Another way is bringing smoothies into my life, which I love to share with my daughter.

The fact that you've documented so much of your journey here on KZfaq makes for a great example for others to follow and be inspired by, Christina. I hope you feel proud of yourself, because I know I am even though I'm not a long-time subscriber. This is the kind of content that makes me come back to your channel every time :)

Speaking to me in so many ways.”You can, and the more u do it , YOU CAN”. Thank you for your inspiring words🤓

Impressing stranger that we never meet. Wow that hit me hard . I am glad I found your video.

It's not about the money you make but the money you keep.

Ive been on this journey of minimalism and its been tough but so rewarding. . Especially with a newborn. I promised myself I would only buy her the absolute minimum and so far I am doing really good. This journey has changed my life on what is important and what needs my energy. I think with age came a lot of wisdom. That the less I have the happier I am. 🥰

Lessons can be worth more than all the paychecks you will ever get ❤️ I am trying to learn this lesson :)

Love your videos! This was so calming to watch...I was mesmerized! ☺️💕

OMG, I loved this video so much. You are totally relatable and I loved when you said you were waiting on someone to come in and make it all better. This is just what I needed to hear. Just subscribed. :)

I love this video so much. Finding your channel has been helping me so much over the last few months and really encourages thoughtful examination of my habits and life. I really love your content and you inspire me. Thank you

I love all the lessons you pointed out. I especially appreciate the one about doing exercise bc there is so much noise around me criticizing me for it. They think it s a distraction. Thanks a lot!

I found this video by chance or not as it was just what I needed to hear today . I made some big changes in my life recently. I have stop drinking alcohol not that I had a issue. with it , just decided as a health benefit. I have reassessed friendships which were mainly one sided with me doing more for others . I felt no one had many interests at heart . Be your own hero that resonates with me . Thank you 🙏 I will most certainly follow you videos and subscribe. 👍

Wow, your video started playing randomly after another while I was cooking. It spoke to my heart. The most difficult times right now I feel in my life, I need to own them and do something that is in my control. Thank you. I felt like there was a friend just talking to me while I cooked and I appreciated every word!

Congratulations on your channel and inspiring videos. I am from Brazil and almost all the people spend way too much. YOU ARE A WINNER.

Taking responsibility. Love it👍

Hi I have been watching your channel for just over a year now and what a change I can see in you 😊 when I watched some of your videos I could see myself with the stress of over spending and not getting the enjoyment but beating yourself up after the purchase, I call it Buy - Stress - Return - Repeat 😣 so I just stopped but I must admit lockdown did help and I decided not to buy online So 7 months in on a No Buy and you have helped so I would like to say Thank You 🙏

“Gratitude is the attitude!” 🤘🏼

Wow! I must say this is one of the best videos Ever!!! It reminds me of some the videos of Matt D'Avela. The content was on point, the editing etc... Nicely done!

Im here again coz Im in the process of healing. I want to change the way I live, not affected by other judgment or opinion about me. I want to live my life as happy as I want to and not be hard on myself. :D

Just magical video and contents! And very timely!

Loved this video. Also, the lessons, script, overall production is fantastic. Can already tell I'm going to need to watch this several times this year hahaha

This is an amazing video!! The filming is great and the content is SO valuable and relatable. You have yourself a new follower ;-) 🙌🏼

Your channel has been such a dope, realistic source for me. I stress realistic - appreciate you !

Omgosh your so flippin adorable. So glad I watched this video 😊🤗🥰

Love your videos...always inspiring!!!

🌸 Yes we definitely pay are dues for the lessons, but they do make our journey interesting for sure ☀️

Thank you so much for this video - I can already tell I will revisit it over and over again when I need these reminders

❤❤❤❤❤. I have finally got to a point where as much as I love clothes and fashion. I do it for me. It now actually makes me feel uncomfortable when someone complements me on my clothes. But I have a long way to go. I need to start an actual budget. This past year has been tough have 2 lock-downs where I couldn't work and a 3rd one looming (fellow Ontarian)

Wonderful video! Purging opens the flood gates to new ideas and focus and peace. 😊

This video was so great visually!!! Love all those clips and edits :)

I love love love your content 😍

So nice and clean- love it! Your kitty is so adorable!

Great tips! Planning some down time after I get ready in the morning and before I start work has been a great way to start every day and motivates me to get up earlier. I listen to Audible while getting ready so that’s fun to motivate me to get going too. I’m even thinking about about a shower speaker so I can start listening sooner.

My life is my greatest joy.

Love Dan Harris ( 10% Happier; Meditation for fidgety skeptics & 10% App; podcasts)..ty for the video, first time watching...all the best 🌞🌻🐝🦋

The one lesson so far I’ve learned that’s changed my life is that chances are, nobody cares except for you.

Love this so much! Thanks for being so open and sharing this!

Love, love this video!! Thank you 🙏🏾

I love this video! I seriously need to be kinder to myself.

This is such a positive video! And it comes just at the right time, I guess not just for me but for many people. And the editing is truly amazing! Not too overdone but *aesthetically pleasing* at its best! I'm a new follower and so glad I found your channel!

Love the fresh upbeat new style of video girl! You’re awesome 👏 😎

I learnt a lot from minimalism

Thank you for sharing. It's wonderful.

I loved this video🤩! I'm currently listening to Mel Robbins Let's Start Here 👍 Highly recommend this podcast 🔥 on Audible

Lesson im learning im getting older im 35 but i can't eat the same foods i used to eat without paying some kind of consequence.

I truly enjoy watching your videos. A few sense of humor in the video helps to amuse me or laugh. Overall of the video is positive and gives good insight of the minimalist lifestyle. Whatever works for you and only you know what’s best for you, nobody else. I am interested in how you set your camera and do your blogs. I like how you motivate people and keep tossing out stuff that have no values to you. I am glad that you are not a type of girl driving a Beverly Hill truck 🛻 loaded with craps. 😂 Great video by the way.

Amazing editing Christina. Bravo!

This is a great video - meaningful content, very clear, beautiful editing and very... friend-ly, in a sense of, I feel like you're a friend to me. Thank you for all of it!

Love your honesty. Xxx

The music in this was immaculate

Great video thanks for sharing ur⚘🌼 experience with us ❤

Of course I would come to your channel in the hopes of finding motivation for my own minimalism/debt repayment/slower consumption journey and....see some home decor I'd want to buy. Christina, at the 2:33 mark, where are your pillows from? I especially like the cream one with the abstract print. Also, the plant at 3:26. Thanks in advance! I'm actually on a combined minimalism and home decor journey, you could say. Stuff has overtaken my life and apartment. I've never really focused on DECOR and I would like to do that and think I can do it without going overboard. Love the couch and video as well. Thanks! :)

Yes mam! Great insight!

Love this video!! Also, I am reading the book "The Year of Less" by Cait Flanders (Canadian author) and I think you would really enjoy it!!

This is an amazing video. I specifically related to the hero taking pity on you and coming to save you. No one's going to do it for you. Be your own Batman :)

Thanks, Christina

Omg burgundy looks amazing on you perfect 4 ur skin colour! You should wear it not only in gym clothes!😊 Question:did u add cinamon in filter coffee? I am currently reading "the book u wish ur parents had read"

Very wise video.

Sometimes the results of a walk for me are headache and sadness. I like your videos although I'm very reluctant to change now. Completely stuck:(

1:24 if its a reference to the song, that's a song by Notorious B.I.G./Biggie Smalls and P.Diddy, Mase. Jay Z grew up around same place as Biggie but Jay Z was not part of Bad Boy Records.

Love this!!!!

I wish audible wasn’t from Amazon. I don’t support that company for my own personal reasons.

Really great vid! Way to go S. Now tell me more about that coffee carafe ;)

I love this video!

I find your videos so inspiring! Thank you. I would recommend the audiobook for Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell which is really thought provoking. It’s read by him with great background music by Janelle Monae. On the fiction side, The Confession by Jessie Burton is great.

Could I ask the brand for your workout outfit? It looks great on you. Thanks!

What kind of desk chair to do have? It's looks comfortable 😌

Yes! Be your own Batman!

oh my goodness I cant believe this is the first time im noticing your tryzub tattoo lol

So when will your book be on audible?

Hahahahaha that JayZ reference! Love your content!

Life lesson vol. 27282828 You don’t have to do what everybody else is doing just to fit in. You be you. Simple as that. (Told you I will comment here :)) Btw. Brilliant video. This was by far one of the best! Thank you ❤️

Love those pants

Be your own Batman. I love that.

Thanks a lot for another open and inspiring post! I am in the process of decluttering and streamlining my wardrobe, whic proves to be a lengthy and hard one, especially when your weight oscilates. Have you also experienced difficulties trying to sell even great quality good brand items? It is a jungle out there :) have you resorted to donations for everything? Thanks a lot for your opinion, have a great day!!

I bought audible but it only allows me to buy one book per month. Does anyone know how to buy more?

That reference to Jay-Z saying "mo' money, mo' problems"... I think you're actually referring to Biggie? No hate just thought you should know.

Where did all your clothes in your closet go 😱 did you do another declutter?!!

💖💖💖

Yes! Stuff doesn't give u meaning.

I like your coffee mug. Where did you get it?

Você é muito bonita!

What’s a lesson that changed your life? Also! I’d love to know what you’re reading/listening to right now 📚- I’ll make a list! EDIT: it was Biggie! Not Jay Z. Thank you for correcting me! 😭😳😅

Losing your edge? Not quite sure what you mean.
