Healing begins here...
Next year I'II be hosting TWO healing retreat in Bali
Each Retreat will be open to 6 women only (introvert problems) but also because I want to give my full attention and energy to you.
This will be your permission to rest.
It will be application based (to keep the energy aligned and high)
The first one sold our wayyy faster than Anticipated whew! SO I opened a new one for you.
And I really can't wait to meet you beautiful ladies in person. It will truly be a memory of a lifetime.
Cheers to our inner child dancing

I'm not a youtuber I just make youtube videos :d This means most times I am more active in my real life than KZfaq.
I've created a WhatsApp community for us where we can connect and talk about the things the world is too full to talk about.
It's where you can connect with me more often.
There you can share if you've had a difficult day and need some advice. You can ask for encouragement or give it. You can get book recommendations. You can ask for a reading partner. You can make genuine connections with likeminded women on the spiritual path.
This group is for women, but I will make one for both men and women soon and will share the link then
When you click the link, make sure to share who you are, where you are from, and 3 of your wellness spiritual intentions for the upcoming year, share anything else that would help us get to know you better(This is required to stay in the group, kindly introduce yourself!

I now take home $500 less than when I retired. Add the current inflationary situation and I am having to go back to work. I am looking into leaving the country but I have kids college to pay for.

Everything on this Earth was meant to be free but somewhere along the lines money changed everything. Its ironic that you can look at some 3rd world countries and the people are happy without having any luxuries. Yet you have people complaining here because the WIFI isnt working. Goes to show that happiness comes from within. I have friends who enjoy their jobs as electricians, plumbers, cdl drivers. They have no student loans and they enjoy their jobs. Its funny society will down on them because they don't have a degree and work in corporate jobs.

Honestly, I've felt this way for a long time. I'm 30 now btw, and I come to realize what is at all for? Is it for me or is it to please others. I do a lot of thinking and researching in terms of finance and life and getting to the superficial promise land seems like it's way too expensive. It blew the amount of money that needs to go out every month on a 30-year mortgage and have a nice car, and don't add kids to this mix. I suffer from depression, but I will say it's almost like my superpower because it has made me realize the important things in life. I say all that to say this to all the people that can relate. Do what makes you happy and the things will fall where they should no need to chase after things that have no meaning or value to you. I hope to have enough courage one day to sell all my things and move to another country. Salute to you ma'am.

My whole life I was raised so counterculture that I never had the American dream or any aspirations that were connected to what we see in the mainstream. In some ways this has been excellent and in other ways perhaps not as balanced since I had a large disregard for some structures that I still am required to Operate within. To continue in the vein of the video, It is absolutely incredible when leaving the states to see that one can live a good life without slaving for the corporations or " the man". I wish for everyone to realize and know what is possible in that regard.

Then there was one of the teachers saying one of my children at the time was only reading at grade level, which I knew wasn't true. My kids want to be with their friends that's the only reason they give me a hard time. Lol, it's a process.

Hadn't I met you before you paid off your mortgage I would have advised against paying off a low yielding debt in favor of investing the extra money into assets. The rate of appreciation of those assets will move in multiples of the inflation rate which is sadly higher than wages.

Dude, yes. What you've said resonates with me on a deeper level. I can't talk to anyone about this because everyone is still so stuck within the machine. As soon as you start talking about how crazy we've made our lives with work, materialism, society, etc, they either think you crazy or just 'young and naive.' I worked a project management position for over 5 years. That environment is brutal. Plus, you're expected to put in more that 50 hours a week. If you add up the time you give to your employers versus the free time you have in any given year, it's super lopsided. It's all an illusion we've been sold on and just adds suffering to the majority of one's life. Living is about experiencing life. Not selling your dwindling time for fictitious paper. We have to do it though in order to survive. I just hope enough wake up so we can break free from our outdated illusions.

You need real drive to make it as an entrepreneur and it probably wouldn't hurt to find a mentorship program to help you along the way. Colleges used to act as your second family and mentor but greed has taken over. I'm not opposed to a degree or a trade but you have to be careful not to acquire more loans than you can comfortably pay back. I know because I recently paid off $66,034 in a five year period. I'm grateful to be debt free. 🙏 🙏 🙏

im tired of seeing these people thinking a 9_5 job is the end of the world, you should keep that job and use the money to create a healthy set of investments to live off of, you dont need friends, you dont need a house at 30, but you can invest in real estate and learn how to get rid of your biggest expense househacking even in NY, but learn to be financially free young, dont just quit your job and then start planning thats reckless

Sooooo true that A 9-5 job is not the end of the world, it's just not for everyone and that's okay. I'm so so grateful that I had a 9-5 job during my life time. I agree use discernment before quitting your job. That's what I share here on this channel. But All things considered, There are more ways to make money besides trading time at a 9-5. Property and land exist outside of America too. Everyone needs to define financially free for themselves. Financially free is relative.

You can have financial literacy and read all the books 📚 and still be in the rat race. 🤷🏽♀️I'm 28 and no longer in the rat race, and a big part of that is, because I left America. I started designing my own dream. Let's not pretend that lack of education is the reason that so many of our people are suffering. It's the lack of means. Knowledge without application means nothing. Knowledge without an environment conducive to applying this knowledge is useless.

Real estate is only ONE type of investment and unfortunately real estate can keep a person trapped in a Country they no longer want to reside in. Buying a home is neither easy nor possible for a lot of individuals. Buying additional properties to rent out is not only less possible for most, but a headache all in itself with a ton of stressful factors. One makes their profits (market- dependant) only after they sell. Whereas index funds is another story. Easier, less stress, attainable, with trackable instant gratification if you're savvy to how they work. The Hubby and I are child-free and only earning/investing for our own lifetimes of enjoyment. We're not concerned with generational wealth or leaving legacies to others. If we choose to spend our lives leaving each person, place, or thing better than we found it..... that should be legacy enough. Ones soul is more important than ones portfolio.

Once you understand the system is designed to keep you in debt and that wages don't keep up with inflation, a whole new world opens up to you. I remember talking to a guy a few months back who said he was saving for a home. He said the condo he wanted was $188k and he was saving for the 20% deposit. However, about time he saved up for the deposit the home appreciated to $240k. He suddenly realized at this rate he'll never be able to afford a home. You have to own assets that appreciate along with inflation if you want to ever been financially free and don't want to work for the rest of your life. They don't teach you this stuff in high school.
