The old Monica was great, but the new Monica with direction and passion in her life just glows. A happy and successful 2022 to you and yours

Honestly, it has been such a cool journey watching you do KZfaq in Highschool, try out college, decide it’s not the thing, watch you try a collab channel, watch you start your vlog channel (my millennial life crisis), watch you really find your groove on YT, watch you hit a rut, watch you find real estate and now you’re thriving. Your channel has really been such a fresh reminder that life is a journey and it’s never going to be perfect and we are always changing. Thanks for being you, Monica!

It would be interesting to see a video about your realtor income compared to your social media/youtube income :)

Not a realtor but I’m a notary signing agent, and my favorite part is dressing up. I get in my car and I’m like “look at me pretending to be all mature” 😂

The Millennial Life Crisis truly is over. So happy for you Monica!

One word: Confidence. As a complete stranger getting hooked on your Palm Springs renovation videos, I can sense how much calmer and more confident you are (I mean that as a complement not in a rude way I hope that comes across the way it was intended). The peace of mind that comes from diversification of interests, plus the fact that you proved to yourself that life doesn't have you pigeon-holed as a KZfaqr forever is very freeing, I can only imagine. The introvert vs. extrovert conversation is also very interesting. I agree with your assessment that if you keep telling yourself something over and over again in your head, eventually you will become a prisoner to that belief which is a never-ending cycle. I used to think like that until I worked retail and I hated having to engage with customers. But I slowly started noticing that my managers would leave me alone and not ask me to do stuff if I was with a customer. So little by little I just started getting into random conversations with customers and that built my confidence up which made it much easier to keep a conversation going until I genuinely started becoming more interested in other people's lives rather than work lol. Either way I was escaping "work", so it was a win/win. All the best!

*“I had this pressure on myself every day that every second of the day HAS to be extremely product”* That one hit home. As an ambitious 20-year-old, the pressure to have it all figured out can be overwhelming. Gotta remind myself to slow it down sometimes. Thanks for your honestly and vulnerability, Monica.

7:24 "It's only awkward if you make it awkward." A guy friend told me this once. Changed my life. Literally, life is all about perception. Stop thinking everything and everyone is awkward. You're holding yourself back. The only thing in life you can truly control is your perception. Change it.

I’m so glad to see you coming into your own with this new career and lifestyle! It’s wild to think I was watching your videos where you were so lost and confused with what to do, and bam here you are now. If it’s meant to be, it truly will be! I’m so glad you haven’t lost the love for filming though! Please keep vlogging because we love to follow along with your journey - plus your inside view of the real estate world is really helpful for people who have 0 knowledge and feel intimidated by it all! All the best for 2022!!!

But don’t you already have the KZfaq income which affords you the ability to save 95% of your real estate income? I think we’d all love to save 95% of our income but that’s not usually realistic.

Can you talk about how your income from real estate compares to KZfaq?

I want an updated ‘what I spend in a day as a real estate agent / KZfaqr’ video

I got on the Monica bandwagon ( a few years ago) when the algorithm on my KZfaq popped up this young woman crying about breaking up with her boyfriend and being so damn honest about being deep in her feelings and I was hooked! So great to see our Monica (and Shelby too for that matter) going through the trials and tribulations of their millennial lives and succeeding! Hearts 💕 and hugs to you both!

Your hair looks so good!

I am so proud of you. I have watched you for nearly 8 years, and I’ve always gained so much knowledge from you. I love the content you have been posting and it’s crazy to see how much growth you have underwent and I can’t wait to see all the rest of your future endeavours!

As a Seattle Bus driver, it was pretty cool when I saw your name on the real estate signs. It's been a treat watching you and seeing your take our city.

You're right about the muscle of socializing, I have been to going to this event skip the small talk it's kind of speed friending, you ask strangers deep questions and it fun you can totally mess up but you'll never see that person again. I use it as practice and feel a lot better about socializing. Your life definitely got a glow up! you are glowing!

It’s honestly been such a joy to watch you grow into your realtor role, Monica! Cannot explain how great it is to see you truly happy. Cheers to your 2022!

You’re an incredibly talented content creator and photographer and I hope you will always produce a little something here and there 🖤🖤. Congrats on your success and happiness Monica!!!

At 13:25 I almost started happy crying! Congratulations on your big achievements and can’t wait to see what more there is to come. I’m rooting for you 📣📣🥳

omg i'm so glad you still continue your youtube PLUS have a full on career!! so many KZfaqrs only do KZfaq and it's so unmotivating to watch. but it's so nice to see watch your videos because you're so successful!!

Such a massive inspiration! I'm getting my license right now and just hearing you talk about your mindset changes regarding KZfaq are worth so much to me, as I make videos about my city too!

That was such a good video. And this conversation was honestly so important! I feel like I’ve been on my millennial life crisis for about 5 years and I find myself in all the things you said about yourself before moving towards the real estate direction. I truly hope to figure myself out soon too and make some important changes. I love how your mindset changed and so did your worrying/anxiety. Thank you

I think you are totally right about extroversion being a muscle! When I was in medical school, I spent a great majority of time studying and always felt like I had to try so hard to keep up with conversations, but as soon as I entered residency, where I spent all day talking to patients, it became so much easier to be social in casual/non-work environments as well

Blimey,Monica!I’m so glad to see you coming into your own with this new career and lifestyle!Awesome!Thank you so much!

I’m so happy you found something that makes you so fulfilled. Wishing you all the best in 2022

love hearing about your career!!

Ur transformation is called growing up! Great job with all ur accomplishments! Wonderful to see 💟

Glad to hear you'll never quit making videos. They are always such a vibe! Thanks for sharing!

We love the professional looks!!!🤩

You are one of my favorite youtubers !! Watching your natural life journey, evolving through diffenrt phases, in such an honest way is amazing !! Dont ever stop making vids pls

Great video! Loved the transformation!!!

Always love your vids because of the honesty. And there must be so much pressure to be professional on youtube too now you're a realtor but still you manage to pull it off! I've loved the way you are bubbly/vivacious and oh so human and honest on youtube, and then doing real estate work as well. I bet that doesn't often happen. You might be a leader in this field/this way of being, Monica! Love that too. Show people the way! xx

No hate whatsoever, I just find it interesting when you say that people don’t need to focus on views, clicks, etc., but most often those people are doing what it takes on social media to make more money. It’s those people who are trying to become financially stable and grow their income and wealth, and to no longer be broke. Most of us no longer want to work 9-5 with little income per hour, we don’t want to struggle to survive, and live to work but instead live to live well and happily. You’re very financially comfortable and well off that sure you don’t have to focus on those things but for others it’s a different story.

I first started following you around 2016 then started keeping up with everything again when you started uploading the airstream videos. I remember that years ago you mentioned making monthly playlist and to this day I still make them. It's amazing to see how much you've grown from when I first found your channel to the 2020 videos and even more since you became a real estate agent! To all the introverts out there trying to become more social, you can do it! Start with baby steps meeting one person at a time, make plans with a couple friends and see what works for you. No need to try to be as social as extroverts, just find your perfect balance between enjoying other people's company and your own.

I'm happy that you're happy with your life, Monica! :)

To be honest. The video that make me a fan was the one of the restoration of an old house. I think you f Should go along that line. There are so many people renovating houses or airstreams is so satisfying to see how something old is being restore to something new.

This video helped my nerves so much. I passed my exam in California on Dec. 22nd (the day after my birthday hehe) and I gotta hang my license somewhere and have been SO NERVOUS about starting... This helped so so much. Thank you Monica!!

Monica, I’ve been watching you since you were Hairodynamic. Watching you grow and continuing to learn about you is insane to me

I’ve been following your videos since 2016 and honestly seeing you happy and excited about something is SO rewarding, I don’t really care that it takes you away from KZfaq a little, I love how happy you are 😍

real estate is a people industry . the more people you know the better . so people that join clubs and share sport hobbies the better . you have to be original and stand out so that people can remember you

I started working on my license at the same time as you but had a lot of obstacles along the way and now I finally have my license and I’m working for Coldwell Banker I just started but I have a vision and your videos model so much ideas for me and inspire me! Thank you! Also I agree I don’t want pressure to put do myself every video just keeping up with my life and being comfortable is the goal

You look like you're doing great, happy for you!!

I’m super proud of you 💗

Love your real estate content! Keep doing what makes you happy 🤍

this introspection and perspective was brilliant!

So happy that you found what you've been looking for. It's pretty cool when life starts lining up. Congratulations!

Always will be my favorite internet person influencer whatever... you're awesome

I am so GLAD that you found your passion! I am so excited to reach a point in my channel where most of it is automated and I can spend my time on other parts of my videos and make passive income. I would LOVVEE to see a Q and A video about your real estate process in the future

I got to say Monica you’re spot on I felt you’re describing me. I can relate with everything you described I simply have been doing this for so long that it’s my normal.

You know I found you when I was getting a bit homesick for Seattle and there you were a fresh (to me) voice talking about Seattle not the one I knew but how it is now in such an interesting knowledgeably way. Thanks for the inside scoop -it’s like having a chat with a girlfriend. Well done on your 1st year x

Good insights Monica 👍

Thank you for being transparent about your real estate career & also being a youtuber. I do wish I am better at money management & prepping for retirement goals. I like your honest opinions, you being open, & sharing your thoughts with us. Enjoy 2022!

Would you ever do a “how much I made my first year in real estate”?

Love your take on approaching being social as a muscle! You gotta work at it!!!

I’m so happy for you! Also its fun to you see you learn Norwegian, if you’re ever visiting Norway I can show you around Oslo as a local👋🏼

Very interesting journey! I loved this

95% saving is impressive. Great job. I also became more frugal since I learned about real estate. It helped me to think long term, know the numbers and think about affordability, investing as opposed to spending. Also real estate is a great business in that most people in this job are cool, funny, knowledgeable and creative.

Thank you Monica for this video😭, it genuinely makes me happy that you have achieved so much and found your true passion❤😌 and whenever I have questions about life I love watching your videos , just wanted to say pleaseee keep making this type of content as although in this video you have talked about your experience as a realtor you have also mentioned so much helpful advice that applies to a lot of people including myself, keep doing what your doing girl💕💕💕💕

Good for you. As someone who has bought many homes over my many years of life....I don't want a realtor who wears sweats or is not put together. You seem very excited about your new career and I'm really happy for you. It seems like a natural transition for you.

Can you show us how you curl your hair?! It looks so good and healthy

Can you do what a spend in a week as a realtor + what I wear in a week you can do a two in one video. Will you document being Shelbys realtor?

I would love to see a video of you showing how you style your work clothes and where you buy them from

Videos are much better now.....there was a period prior real estate where the video topics felt forced...not always but some......👍🏿

Loved this video.

I have loved seeing you grow over the last year and you are truly an inspiration for young woman everywhere!!!

I've only been subscribed for about 3 years but I feel like you've grown up before my eyes!

Glad you mentioned people who just stunt themselves saying I’m not social I’m awkward because that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy great friendships that come your way

Hey Monica, great video!! Where did you get that tube pillow on your bed lol? I need it

You seem very happy!

You are just glowing : in and out

Please do a video on how you’ve created a more polished, business casual wardrobe that is still cute for younger people!

Please please please make a video on different house styles! such as what is modern? contemporary? mid century? I would love to see that kind of content from you!!!

I love your outfit here! Where did you get it from?

Love this video 🥰

So happy for you Monica! 💓

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my favorite video ever

love this video! I want to become a real estate agent and its helpful to see your perspective

I like your thoughts!! And the way your life is going :)

Growth is good!

The part about how being a real estate agent is kind of like "your product" is genius. I've never thought of it like that!

So proud of you and your accomplishments over the past year. You present yourself much more confident and happy! Doing what you love to do, means you'll never work a day in your life💕

Monica!!!! We never see you anymore!!!! hope all is well. Sitting here waiting for the Denver market to dip or at least settle.

It's easier to be social when you're happy with your life. If we have an aspect of our life we're not happy with we put up walls.

Thank you Monica for sharing your growth!! I've also decided to get my real estate license recently to steady my income in my 20s, and your videos have inspired me so much! Would love a hair tutorial too btw ❤️

I totally agree with the whole social thing!

Great video.

awesome stuff. get it girl. 🤙🏼

I use Preply for German and it’s a great source of learning a language virtually.

It's been such a cool experience and an honor to be along for the journey through your videos! You've been such a creative inspiration for me. Couldn't help notice all the Norwegian speakers you were scrolling through there... 🇳🇴 Lykke til med norsk undervisning! Now you just have to learn to pronounce your name in Norwegian 😉

Number 5 image is true . You used to wear your green sweats a lot in your videos .

I love this! I’m sure Graham Stephan would appreciate the frugal part hahah

You seem like you've grown and matured a lot. Thanks for sharing Monica! - Migue

So true about your comment about being social. I was that person in school who knew the answer, but was too afraid to raise my hand. I could see how being shy and awkward was keeping me from opportunities and doing things I enjoy. Over the years, I have converted myself from an introvert to an extrovert. While I still shy away from public speaking, I don’t have any hesitation in introducing myself to new people. It has truly changed my life for the better. Continue doing what makes you happy Monica! Here’s to a successful 2022!

This video better hit a million views! Indirectly Monica you nailed on so many topics that people are struggling with and questioning all the time. I am almost 40 and I still took away a few things that I need to apply to myself and life. Super happy for you and this great change that has taken place in your life and career journey. I know your success will continue to flourish. Keep going strong and keep sharing. Definitely enjoy riding along :)

Whoo hoo!!! Great changes!!! I've been licensed and a full-time realtor for 6 years now here in Boise, IDaho. Started out in title and escrow-working for 15 years in that industry. It was a fantastic experience, crazy busy and long hours. I learned a lot, but had decided I would never want to be a realtor because of the way "they" were. Then I stayed home for 7 years with the babies. When I returned to work, I joined a large real estate team as the Listing Manager-didn't take long before I was struggling with how "they" were. Haha! It finally dawned on me, I don't have to do real estate in the way that keeps turning me off. I can do it different, do it the way I want to - be me! I agree that it is hard to spend the hard earned money because it's such a super difficult and competitive industry, so many emotional ups and downs. We close around 25 homes a year and it's very personal the way we go through these home selling and buying scenarios. So, when escrow finally closes...I'm not running to Target that's for darn sure!!!! All the best to you Monica!!!!

this is why i like you girl. youre not self obsessed like these other youtubers who shall remain nameless. 😆

It’s been pretty cool seeing how the transition has gone. Thanks for sharing

U r amazing

So fun that your learning Norwegian! It’s quit difficult to learn
