I had never taken dance as a child and asked her why I wostarr now? She said, You look like a dancer. So I did and went on to LOVE it and at age 50 studied classical ballet 5 nights a week. People would ask, why are you spending so much money on dance when you can't do anything with it? Or say, don't you wish you would have started dance much younger???? I would answer, I dont know I am.loving it NOW. At age 76 my body said it's time to move on and so I have. This LIFE is a blink of an eye. Thank you Shayna for sharing your life.

I agree. I wish there was a better way to articulate the heaviness of that debt to younger people. I remember adults in my life telling me that its a lot of debt and to be sure, but what experience does a high schooler really have with money? You could tell me 10,000 was a lot and you could tell me 100,000 was a lot. But, I wouldn't truly understand the huge difference and life implications between taking out 10,000 in student loans and 100,000 in student loans right out of high school. Lol

I resonated so much with this video. after high school, I didn't get into any of the prestigious fashion schools of my choice because of my grades. the only school that would take me was also community college and city colleges that were not my first choice but affordable. I hated it at the time, but learned to love the diversity of being in these schools because everyone was on your wavelength , working side jobs, hustling, experimenting, etc. I took semesters off, worked odd jobs, partied, traveled, went to therapy, had mental breakdowns, all within my own timeline. i went back to school and then said im gonna do studio art in community college so I did that and the college low-key had scholarships to travel to any part of the world to study abroad for a semester. ended up in art school by scholarship in Europe then ended up staying for the last 6 years on my own, i fell in love, fell out of love, and still living in Europe. life is a crazy adventure

I'm honestly impressed that you were able to stay focused on school and prioritize your creativity while also undergoing a divorce this past year. I think we're about the same age. I recently got out of a 4 year relationship, and the anxiety of things falling apart in the last 2 years or so completely wiped my creative energy. Now in lockdown a year on I feel like I'm only just starting to pick up the pieces, and beginning to access the "better" version of myself that's been missing. It's so tough to trust the process when you feel like you're trapped in a waiting game.

I am about to turn 47 now and I had to stop training in 2019 for health reasons but I hope to go back once I am better. I can superrelate to being young and not knowing what to do and having the pressure to pick an education that you're supposed to do for the rest of your life. It was like that when I was that age too and it is quite antiquated. Do try a lot of things out! I used to fear failure and doing things wrong but those have turned out to be my best teachers. Pretty much everything I have done, wether they have been successful or not, have been useful to me in one way or another. Worry less and do more! Enjoy life!

I went to art school late because I was ill with depression and had to defer until I was in a better place. I ended up being 2 years older than everyone (2 years seems huge when you're younger) and in hindsight it was such a blessing. I'd been drunk through most of college (UK college!) so when i finally made it to university after my 2 year gap I was ready to get my head down, and make the most of every minute on campus and the facilities! Really greateful for how it all played out. I'm 35 now and I think i'm just about to have some sort of creative crisis about what comes next! I was due to come to Paris on a solo trip at the start of the pandemic in an attempt to get some inspiration but alas. BUT! that's what help me find your videos, when I used youtube to quench my wonderlust last year. Hoping to come in September for croissants and soul searching.

Every time Shayna, every damn time! I feel like I’m just conversing with a friend who gets me. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I started my KZitem channel at 33 and it’s funny how these negative thoughts come into your mind about , "what are others going to think?" I’m so glad be I went for it because it’s been such a creative outlet and being able to connect with others is what makes me happiest. I love these sit down and talk videos and I can’t wait for the south of France videos! Me and my dreams are cool!💭

I don’t think theres a single human being out there who works more tirelessly and selflessly to inspire positivity in all life. The times I wonder if people this brilliant with souls this bright are going to have a light of endless happiness shine on them are met with knowledge that we are all made of light and will always find ways to summon it in self and others. Know that your light reflects to the world like a prism. Find the light in yourself and be true to it. Be whoever you are. Know you are worthy.

My friend and I are planning, if it is safe and okay, a trip to Paris later on in summer and I'm going to scope it out and try to figure out when I can move, how and where within the next year or two, again depending on how the world is. We're so excited, and watching your videos the past few years has helped me so much in accepting and establishing Paris as a goal of mine and really practically planning it. I have so much love for you and your content, and this format of video just embodies everything I love!! Thank you for giving us your time and feelings and such, you are so appreciated 💕🌼🌿😌

I relate so much to your story! I’m in my late 20s, finally pursuing something I’m passionate about (chiropractic school). I spent my early 20s following a more conventional path - worked in corporate america after undergrad, got married, then divorced. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted apart from everyone else’s input. Thank you for sharing you story and empowering other people to follow their intuition and live an unconventional/more passionate life. :)

You have made a really excellent stand on do not let people define who or what you should do or be. They do not live your life!! Not always easy to be hurt by social conditioned society but the ' Do not care' what they think approach is perfect. We keep growing and learning as much as we choose to. Better to keep looking for your spark and let's face it we do not want life to be full of empty dreams and a life half lived. So thanks for your thoughts. I feel we all need to feel freedom to enjoy whatever path we want, when we want.

Yes!! I'm in my late 40's and have no regrets for all of the different paths I've taken in my life. I've been lucky enough to experience college, studying abroad, work, travel, have a family, and live in different countries! I'm encouraging my children to travel, travel, travel and experience life before feeling the pressure of school, work, debt. I think more younger people are taking notice and realizing that there is more to life than the 'norm.' Enjoy the journey of life - me and my dreams are COOL! :)

I'm definitely open to changing my mind and welcome the flow and changes that come with time and experience and I can't wait to learn more about my purpose along the way. Me and my dreams are cool

I really needed this video. I'm 19, and over the past few years, many of my closest family members, including my mum, have sadly passed away. I had to drop out of education and have spent most of my teenage years in and out of hospital due to mental illness and trauma. My dad and I have just been evicted from our home and had to make lots of sacrifices but we're viewing it as a fresh start. After years of essentially giving up, this video has inspired me to follow my dreams despite everything. Thank you

Ill be 37 this year and ive left behind a job i went to school for to move abroad with hubs. i loved that job, but i dont mind the idea of starting again and i want it to be art. Im struggling though...its different at this age for me - not sure why. The artist way workbook...i took your suggestion and its lovely. Its getting the brain juices flowing.. I hope to come out of this rut soon. Thanks, girly!

@@namowadriver Hello! It is never too late. Even when keeping your day job (which is good), you can work on it little by little each day! perhaps find local groups on fb that get together to talk about or make art together. ok here goes - Im trying to make sense of it myself, but I think I struggle because I became structured. One can become very routined in..almost everything. I dabbled in painting/drawing in community college right after HS...i then went to an art school, worked in the fashion industry as a technical designer and that..is structured, lol. Thats how my brain works. Anywho, I still have all these lovely thoughts, feelings, ideas in my mind but i struggle on how to express them. SO...going back to beginning of my babbles, diving into painting in my 20s felt easier/freer probably because i just didnt have this sort of structure yet. or life wasnt as distracting. another thing is the fear of being judged in some odd way. this is something i need to work on and get over. i think being surrounded by creatives is important. we need to uplift each other. I miss that feeling. Why i love this channel! I have obtained the freedom to explore all this more, but its a bit hard. And as we ease off some more restrictions, it'd be nice to find a group. Now, did any of this make sense?? I told you im still trying to figure it out. lol This is why i like the book i mentioned in my first comment. thank you for reading this...novel. :) Would like to hear yours, or anyone's, thoughts.

I love that you said being older was your biggest strength. I’m also going back to school but I’m nervous as I took two years out. All the kids are going to be younger and I worry I’ll feel out of place. But your motivational talk was so beautiful because as you said you’ll be the same age whether or not you follow your dreams. Thank you for being such a radiant soul! 💗

No matter what age no one is to old to restart new. It’s amazing how many ppl do not understand that it’s ok to start again. I am 29 and honestly when I was mid 20s I felt like I failed but as I get older I realized we all live for a reason and we don’t need to do what society tells us to. We can always start again.

At 32 and many years of trying to fit myself in a box, dealing with anxiety because my father is struggling with depression since I can remember and tried to end his life a few years back, after many jobs that didn’t suit me, and of course after the glorious 2020 and an emotional breakdown (Burnout)…I finally accepted that life is unpredictable and I can’t control it. I‘m starting over now and I finally don‘t give a sh** what other people are thinking of me… Thanks for sharing your story!

I just left a 14 year career at 40 a month ago. Best decision ever. A lot of people thought I was crazy to leave my big corner office with a title and money to take a pay cut and go work for a manufacturing company. Honestly it’s the best move I’ve made in a long time. I’m in a better place mentally and emotionally and have time for me, my family, and my art again. Simply put I’m happy. Me and my dreams are cool. Thank you so much for your videos and keep being you lovely lady.

It's so crazy to hear you say "late in life" for me. I'm 45. I raised a son by myself to 18 years old. I've been waiting this whole time to be the artist I wanted to be. Now I feel reborn and I have no negative feelings about waiting and giving my child those 2 decades of my life. It has made me incredibly strong and beautiful inside. 🖤 I feel like I'm about to burst open like a moonflower at night.

I'm 37 and I'm starting over, I've started over a few times tbh 😎 my life has been crazy weird. But it's all good. I don't mind. I've learned alot and I'm happy with where I'm at. I'm prob gonna start art school soon, there's a few others things I might do, I don't know. But I'm so grateful that I'm not tied to anything. I'm as free today as I was when I was 18 and I used to think that was a bad thing. But now I see how good it is for me. Don't ever compare your life to someone else's - the people who seem to have it together, often don't. Life isn't a competition, it's your life, you can do whatever you want where ever you want whenever you want. Years ago when I was 23 I sold everything and went to Australia ❤️😂 I planned to stay there forever - I stayed there for 3 months and I absolutely hated it. 😂 No hate to Australia but I just didn't like it. I moved to Ireland from Australia and I've lived here ever since. I love it here. I grew up in London but I got tired of it and I never thought ireland would be my forever home but it is. So travel people, go wherever you can and see what it's like. ❤️💯

I resonate so much with your story! From Florida, financed my move and my studies in France, feeling lucky every day to be here! I love what I study but with my career I feel like I’ll never be satisfied. I used to do musical theatre growing up and have been really wanting to take more dance classes, learn how to play piano but I always find myself making the excuse that I don’t have enough time and money. Some day these excuses won’t hold me back!
