Very inspiring. I work a job I hate making good money also in corporate America. Just recently dawned on me that it's okay to do something else. I'm 52 years old and have never quit a job in my adult life. Your video kinda feels like confirmation for me. So thanks for sharing! BTW, If I ever get your way I'd definitely let you tatt my brows.

This makes me so happy!! My mom left the corporate world in her 50's to do her own thing, too. She has really shown me it's never too late! And yes, definitely come see me! 🤗

Good for you! I was unfairly terminated from my job due to Covid (a month before I gave birth too) Ended up being a blessing in disguise. I’ve been able to focus on my artistry (tattoos, painting & etc) we have to do what makes us happy girl!!

Thank you for sharing your story and being transparent!! I have been this way all my life and even at age 55, I still have family and friends trying to box me in. Stay encouraged and if you have to do “it” all by yourself, just do It and eventually everyone else will catch up sooner or later! God bless you ❤️

Congrats Nina! I can definitely relate. I've been working for the government for several years and its just not my passion. I'm trying to figure it out because like you and so many others, l have so many interests and talents and l'm trying to streamline and focus. Yes sometimes l feel like I'm all over the place but in actuality l do know what l love and what drives me.

I’m a forever fan of your channel cus it’s the personality for meee 🤩💛 lmao Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I’m also in the middle of a career transition myself. I was a social worker, but I miserable and underpaid. I decided to leave the field and explore a career that’ll allow me to travel the world while working remotely. I took a temp job in the meantime so I could take my time figuring out what I want to do with my life. As always, your video is exactly what I needed to hear to affirm my decision! Thank you again! 🤗✨

Girl, let those tears out! You are not alone. Similar to you, my career choices are non-traditional. I’m a dance entrepreneur and educator. For years I fought myself about being a creative professional because I believed it was “unrealistic”. But honoring myself and carving my own path was the greatest decision I ever made. Although it has presented unexpected challenges, it feels worthwhile. I don’t mind the extra effort that is required because I’m happier and more fulfilled. Do what brings you joy

Hey Nina, Congratulations, may you find the peace & joy you desire with your new career change. I got so excited when you mentioned this before. I’m in the DMV area & even though my daughter gifted me with a eyebrow tattoo for Mother’s Day, I just knew I would have you doing my brows! My eyebrows turned out ok, but I wanted them to be great!!! I’ll go over to your IG & contact you from there. Again, congrats & continue to follow your dreams, you will master your new career!!!

A little advice the decisions one makes between the ages of 16 and 24 affect how the rest of their life flows the decisions you make in your 30’s impact how your senior years will go. While one may not be cut out for corporate by your age you should have figured a lot of stuff out by age 35. The corporate job hopefully offered benefits like retirement \ health. These are key components you will start to see and appreciate in you 40’s and fifties. Free living is fine but it comes at a heavy cost. I know people in their fifties trying to figure out what happened? Got sick and need family members to pass the hat. When I was in my twenties, I didn’t care about such things but an old man pulled my coat and schooled me. My parents had no real clue. Reality is undefeated. Never make sound financial decisions like the rules don’t apply. Always leave a job for one across or up and if you go up never back. I say all this in love.

Thank you for the advice. There is, in fact, a lot I’ve figured out by this age. I’m not sure what you mean by free living, since I’m 100% responsible for myself and don’t believe rules don’t apply to me. Health insurance, retirement plans, and life insurance exist outside of corporate jobs. You just have to buy them yourself. I get what you’re saying, but I don’t believe my life is doomed because I’m choosing to earn my money elsewhere. IF I’m completely desperate and cash-strapped, I do have a degree and high-paying skills to fall back on.
