Congratulations for doing the thing! đ
Yessss
I donât like being called out like thisđ„Č
I love that your video titles are what I need the most at a moment haha
P.S. Congratulations on your novel! đ
Thank you!!
I know youre child free but im not technically a child anymore so please adopt me i need an intelligent parental figure đ
LOL deal
Thanks for the message. Have been thinking of switching careers and heavily researching it for two weeks calling it a mid life crisis but your right it’s just an identity crisis and I can broaden my sense of self.
This channel is somehow matured and grown with me over the last decade started off being extremely poor not as woke and now I’ve more aware of everything seeing how everything’s interconnected got more money and now I’m learning to be more of myself without asking for permission.
Love this video!! In 2023 I started my passion project of filming animals at local shelters to help them get adopted. I had put it off for years, waiting until I knew I’d be great at it and make “perfect” videos. Then I realized I’d literally never start with that mindset so I just decided to go for it. I’ve had so much fun doing it! I’m still a ways away from making it into a non-profit so I can actually make money and do it as my full-time job, but I still have hope that one day I’ll get there. And in the mean time I’m helping sweet fur babies find their homes đ„°
Thank you so much for the reminder, Chelsea. There was a time where I felt the same way, striving to be a multidisciplinary person with skills and passions in different areas. There was a time where I felt so much more self-assured. Somewhere along the way that had been broken down, by family and lots of life changes that I didn’t feel perpared for or supported in. But I have been slowly getting back on my feet. I’ll probably save this video as a reminder of what I know I can do.
I was wondering what happened to the original upload of the announcement.
Seeing you (and TFD) grow after being a follower for almost a decade has been so inspiring. And it has helped me with my money anxiety in ways I canât begin to describe.
Congrats on the new book!
“My iphone videos are only about the revolution” lol, perfection, no notes. đ
Bookmarking this to routinely come back for the pep talk. Thank you, Chelsea!
âIâm too poor to do things that make me happyâ is not the anticapitalist war cry some of yall think it is. The belief that you cannot be happy unless you are rich is implicit support for our economic model. Living a fulfilling life. Having friendships and community. Pursuing dreams and creativity. These are the signs of a good life and they are possible at almost any economic level.

Unfortunately, it took me making middle-class money to realize how hollow material possessions are.
This is a lesson, I feel, most people need to learn the hard way. You can shout it from the rooftops but it simply won’t take until you experience it yourself.
This is such a privileged take.
Bro, you need money and time to be able to do that stuff. When all your money is going to surviving and all your time is going to working, extracurriculars are completely out of reach.

I love this. I am so glad I pushed through my own inner resistance and allowed myself to fail, give up and take a break, then come back and keep working at it. I’ve used this big life lesson in a number of ways and it’s one of the greatest achievements a human can have.
I took a sewing class last year after years of telling myself I wasnât smart enough or good enough at math to be a quilter (patriarchy much?). I have since made over five quilts and several garments that honestly slay. I am obsessed with what I make and there is no other plane where Iâm able to express myself and my taste so thoroughly. Investing in those sewing classes has made a return on my self confidence tenfold!
I am an (admittedly slow) runner, so as a reminder I have the following tattooed on my left forearm: “The first mile is a liar – don’t ever trust it.” This can apply to any new endeavor. It sucks at the beginning but will get better if you stick to it through the early frustrations. My other motto is courtesy of John “The Penguin” Bingham: “The miracle isn’t that I finished; the miracle is I had the courage to start.”
I started playing Irish Flute coming up on two years ago. Never had learned an instrument before. Not good at it. But I love it!
I’m being attacked by the title alone. This is my third rewatch
As somebody who has always kept her office job while at the same time having a career in dance, I wholeheartedly agree. I also think that it kept me out of a lot of drama, because if you don’t put all your energy into just one thing, it never ends up being too serious.
And doing things just because you enjoy them is OK as well. I took ice skating lessons for 9 years (as an adult) and only got marginally better during this time. It was just a fun thing to do. I also sucked at surfing and still had a good time đ
As someone with a lot of diverse interests & hobbies, I really needed this video. I’m having a hard time committing to any of them because I’m scared I won’t ever be perfect at whichever one I focus on at any given moment… framing it like diversifying your sense of self over multiple pursuits was a unique take and I hadn’t ever thought of it that way.
Chelsea this is such a timely message for me. I have been thinking a lot about things I want to do that I am scared to try and my own fear and self doubt is the only thing holding me back. Thank you!!
