“Homelessness” in the modern sense is traumatic and frighten. And it’s the projection of homelessness that keeps us well-behaved and in the grind and hustle. When you are in it, it’s not fear controlling because now you are planted in the present. So many gifts were given to exchange for all the fear I had lived with when I lived in a “home”. You are going to be ok because you are not alone even when you may feel it’s all on you. That’s a lie. You are god in form with a full access pass my dear. 😁👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️
@@sixtyblackmystictraveler YOU are the embodiment of TRUTH! Society entirely functions on fear. We must always remember that we are worthy and entitled to being fully and divinely human on this planet...separate from the artificial societal systems created to keep the masses fearful, guilt ridden, shameful and oppressed. Thank you for reminding us of what the truth has been all along.
This made me cry . Black women have been taught that allowing others to take care of us is a sign of weakness . To the point we won't even ask for help . This is my life I have been working so hard at work trying to fit in But truth be told I am a free spirit.😢
One of the biggest blessings in my life is the fact that I don't have kids or a mortgage to influence my decisions and happiness. I've spoken to so many women who won't budge on anything in life and remain miserable because of their kids and mortgage. Kids are blessings but society forces you to deprioritize yourself and let the kids be the decision makers with no say on how you raise them or how you want to live your life
There are so many transitional skills that teachers have that will help you move into a new field or your own field. There are many former teacher groups etc
I am also a teacher and I dislike it. I want out also. I taught virtually for two years for Stride and took a 20,000 pay cut. It was EMPTY. Now I am back in the classroom and I am unhappy many days but not all. I know exactly how you feel!!
@@BecomingBuddhaMama Ignorant parents who don't think you have any right to be treated humanely, the people highly qualified educators dread. Ignorant parents who cannot phantom an educator who has high moral values and the intelligence to separate their own personal growth journey from their duty to their students. People like you aide in putting out the flames of brilliant educators. I refuse to address the tired "to have income" rhetoric, 🤣.
@@BecomingBuddhaMama honestly I don’t think many parents even consider their children’s teacher. From my experience, we are looked at like babysitters. Many parents are not involved which is one contributing factor to the burnout we feel. The behavior of the students nowadays is atrocious. It starts at home. I’m looking forward to a new start in a new profession.
The real price of “stuff” is your lifeforce energy. When I drove out the driveway with my dog and plastic containers with food and clothing prepared for living in my car I was scared/excited…by the time I reached the exit of the subdivision I felt this burst of energy from the FREEDOM and all the potential. 😀👏🏽🙏🏽
Loved hearing the woman talk about living in a tent and facing her fear of homelessness and poverty...and letting go and trusting God. I've been there and when God pulls you though and out you are a completely different person. I had to learn the same thing ..God takes of me in every single way and my dependence on the outer world was blocking me from seeing all the Grace that filled my life and watching God in action. Bravo to her!
I need help! I’m drowning with my mortgage payments and it has me depressed 😢 Secretly living with this is terrifying….but I’ve been holding it down with Gods grace! I feel so not alone and happy I found this amazing channel!
SUGGESTION: 1) SEll it; find a place where you can live within your means 2) RENT it; use the money to pay your mortgage, and apply any extra towards your rent, etc! This option will allow you to continue to build Escrow in your home & possibly earn you some side income! 3) ROMMATE; if you're okay with living with someone... this may work for you. As you can see.. you do have options. Good luck & God Bless!
Thank you Mar, I'm currently homeless but living in my car. I lost my job in November last year, moved out of my house in January and I'm just trying to make it work. I've decided to leave Texas as it seems impossible to get a job in Houston. Most employers want bilingual employees and since I'm not going to learn Spanish in a week, I need to make some moves. Anyways, i also have a hard time receiving. I am standing on faith alone. I thought I was losing my mind too. I'm not sure where God will take me as long as he's with me. I'm a little scared but I'm going to get things ready so that i can drive out of state next month. God bless you with everything you need and more.
Sister I am praying for you right here and right now in the mighty name of Jesus I declare and decree that work w/ job will find you and you will delight yourself in the Lord GOD who gives us a spirit of peace and a sound mind 🙏🏾🙌🏾💃🏽❤ GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU 🥰😇🙏🏾
▪︎Thanks for allowing me to share my Nomadic Journey. I had/have the C word when I interviewed and didn't know it. Be Safe out there Sister-Travelers. I'm looking forward to watching and sharing. ¤■¤♡
Stephanie I liked the way you let the ladies talk first and later introduce themselves. 😊 You are a very gifted woman.⭐️ You think outside the box and have ideas that seem to work when you put them into practice.
I enjoyed that too. It gives you time to relax and enjoy the conversation. And as a viewer you are immediately into the conversation to decide how interested you are in continuing. She is TALENTED. She found and continues to discover her magic powers she brought with her to this earth. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for sharing women with such diverse experiences. For me, the common thread among their stories is the willingness to LET GO....of things that constrain us. Some beautiful insights were shared.
If you do decide to do this, (speaking about van life personally) know that it’s definitely not all glamorous. Make sure your vehicle is situated inside to your comfort levels. Make sure you have money set to the side for repairs. I did van life for 3 yrs but I did most of it totally unprepared although I’ve watch van life videos for over 10 years prior in my home. I still wasn’t prepared. The sunup and sundown views are absolutely gorgeous as one of the women mentioned in this video. I lived btw 3 major counties in California. Also in Arizona. The views are just phenomenal! I wish you the absolute best on your journey and a happy one it’ll be if prepared in advance!
I am mad that Adelia and of course other educators in TX can work so long at such a difficult field and not receive a pension. WTF! I’m so happy she was able to make her leap into finding her happy place and is living her best life.
Watching this was such a wonderful way to spend my Friday night after a stressful week of work. It gives me so much hope to see these women living out their dreams unconventionally. It lets me know that I too can have this. Thank you Stephanie for these wonderful interviews.
I honestly thought it was too late to find genuine friendships . Hearing her say at 55 gives me hope.❤ I ‘ve always felt better in the giving role and never thought it was a control thing until I just heard it
It is a PURGE of conditioning whether learned from society or passed down by our ancestors. Let yourself feel, take time to breakdown and pray and pray and pray to be reminded of your power, imagination and intuition to guide you through the valley of the shadow of death. Center your life to supporting the change and supporting you while you go through that change.
@@lolam.5062 The shift is on. The global environment is showing that clearly. And I see this shift in the last decade of black women letting go of the burdens traveling and living in joy.
Stephanie, I have viewed so many of your videos. I have listened to countless stories on your channel of how Black women have come to live wonderful lives. In my opinion this one was one of the best. I'll tell you why. So many times when I've listened to the various women on your channel talk about their lives, everything is always, always, so very perfect and right. It may have happened but I can not recall anyone ever mentioning missing a flight. No one ever said I gave it all up in the U.S. I quit my job, did this and that, but I realized shortly thereafter I didn't plan right. You never hear I moved to a country and I hate it here, until I can come up with even more money I'm stuck in this country. It wasn't for me now what. All of their lives are perfect. They all did it just right. Life is good. Then there is Mar (if I spelled her name incorrectly I apologize) I was shocked. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A story on your platform that didn't go insanely well or perfectly. All of the other stories I hear on your channel are so perfect. Life never happened with the women. No one ever missed a flight or got over charged for an AirBnB. No one's purse was ever stolen while in another country. No one ever became really ill whike in another country. No one leaped or jumped and admitted Stephanie my money ran out, or I didn't like it where I was but financially I was stuck in Costa Rica or El Salvador. I wish Mar all the best. I enjoyed hearing all of the fascinating stories from all of these beautiful black women and how they are living their dreams. Take care.
There is so much more of life we can’t plan for than we can plan for. I also want to emphasize living free was a dream I had had in my twenties but I wasn’t ready to let go of the plans I had for life. To live free one HAS to let go of plans and commit to being in the moment and trusting everything else will be where it needs to be when it needs to be there. It’s the letting go of the illusion of control that’s hard to let go of but once that’s out of the way magic can show up. 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💜
Respectfully there is no innovation without “failure”…the use of the word failure is steeped in the perfectionism of whyt inferiority complex patriarchy. Failure doesn’t exist without perfectionism, that there is one goal and one goal for every endeavor. I am GRATEFUL for the men who left, who didn’t want me because I was only ever asking for the minimum from them!!! Thank GOD those failed! Thank GOD I failed at black capitalism to try to make up for the daily racism and misogyny on this planet. Thank GOD I didn’t settle for less ONCE AGAIN! Because a gilded cage is still a cage. Reconsider “failure” reconsider perfectionism. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜👏🏽👏🏽
My respect to all these brave women for taking the leap And living their best lives. Particularly to Mar, her story gave me goosebumps and I appreciate her “candid honesty” sharing her transition to freedom ❤❤
@@StephaniePerry Tears. Gratitude. Humility. Appreciation. My message to us all “trust yourself, you are a divine emissary and expression of Source”. ♥️♥️🫂🫂
Oh man. This video are hitting me in the soul. This made me cry. I know its time to bust a move. I want to travel and see the world. Man thank you so much for sharing all these videos. Trying to map it out and plan. Money is not the issue I have always been told I am not smart enough to think outside of the box.
Mar resonates with me so much, I feel like she is a more evolved version of myself 😂. The idea of surrendering to fear and to intuition and spirit is something that I have been resisting. I have known what I want but my survival mode conditioning doesn’t allow for it. I have no support system, no family, no savings. I’ve done all the things and nothing gives me what I need. I only have my large dogs and cat. I think I’m going to buy a camper coach this year and just see what happens. Thank you Mar 🥲
La Mar is what would be called a Sadhu- she is completely surrendered to life... it's a very deeply spiritual way of living and many cultures have it, where the person literally asks for food they live with little and they offer their teaching....I feel that in past lives she was a monk/nun.
These conversations were so right on time and insightful. While each was valuable, when Mar spoke on trusting your intuition and sitting in discomfort, it really resonated with me. Stephanie, as always, thank you for bringing content that cuts through to the heart of the matter.
Blessings Sister Perry I just Listened to Franki oh what an Inspiration I am Leaping in 2024. Thank You for All you do to Encourage and Inspire us as Black Women!!🥰🥰
All you beautiful melanated women are such an inspiration! I recently decided to quit my job as a nurse practitioner to be a stay-at-home mom after being in school for almost 10 years. The beautiful stories you shared definitely gave me the courage. I can’t wait to embark on my journey with my family with living out our dreams!🎉
Love you for this! You are young....beautiful young 50 year old women who do not look your age ...I/we are 70 plus....what can we/I do. I truly thank God for you!
Yes, this someone, who has been stressing for months on deciding the next step…sleepless, tired and tired some more…received 1:01:30 the message. There was a reason why I woke up at 1 am, scrolled endlessly and ended up here 🙌 grateful for the nuggets and inspiration 🙏
What a collection of leaps in life changes for the better. If I had listened to these narratives at a younger, less enlightened age, I would have dismissed those choices. Now, with less filtering and a wider perspective of black woman ease, I understand and applaud their individual journeys. Congrats to you and Rashida for pioneering this alternate life choice!
Im sending so much love to Mar. She's telling my story too. I relate to it in my own way. She made me literally cry so hard. So authentic. and powerful testimony on intuition and surrender.
These ladies are beautiful individualistically and amazing. Thank you for the video, Stephanie…your heart is seen in you leaning into each of these ladies….are amazing.
I so love these shares! 💗 Especially Mar's. I feel like we're all gonna have to go through this de-conditioning sooner or later. I love all the gratitude they give to Stephanie for helping them see another way to live and for creating this community. 🥰I appreciate it as well!
Keira makes such a great point, I am often aware of what I am teaching my son about women, wifehood and motherhood. Go with me here…they’ve done studies of women who earned degrees as adults, expecting the highest benefit to be to those women, but the largest benefit is actually to their children for watching their mothers exercise agency. I am convinced that this is a research study in the making! I cannot wait to hear from these children when they themselves become adults. The impact of exercising agency must be tremendous. My heart leaps at the thought!
Thank you Stephanie. I have been watching since quarantine. I started my business and am pushing forward get it certified MWBE in NYC. Yeah , my dream is to live abroad. You are a quality inspiration. Thank you for giving a voice to so many areas within a black women. I am a mom of 6 boys- they all plan to live abroad someday 😉
Thank you for this...i left my oldest two children to move out of state with my youngest son and his father. Hus father and i are now separated and he spends all of his time with his dad. I do want to move abroad but dont want the mom guilt.
What an awesome Friday treat. Stephanie, you are forever acquainting us with a taste of reality in different ways. On this night, via replay, you acquainted me with Sisters who carved a path for themselves radically. Those change makers are no longer bound by others views or 9 to 5 occupations that took more than it gave. Thank you for tonight and so much more.
This is a very beautiful broadcast and video channel and community. Lately, I have become so exhausted from racial trauma, discrimination, loss of loved one to death across years, and being unable to connect with others, that I have gone through an existential crisis worse. I lost both of my parents to cancer before I turned 16 years old. I've only had two real friends in my 50 year life and most of my siblings are estranged and could care whether I okay or otherwise. All I've ever wanted was family and connection. And I would be so happy with being able to experience what it's like to have one true authentic friend, again. The two real friends that I had across 50 years died too and it's been years since I can say that I've had a real friend or a longer connection with any community or otherwise. Is anyone interested in being a pen pal or cultivating a connection virtually?
This was truly amazing!! Such inspiring women speaking their truths and sharing so graciously their journeys. Stephanie, thank you so much for all that you continue to do with this community. I'm a recent new member having joined only this past December, but since that short time I can feel a change stirring within me! I'm loving learning about what is possible. The women in this community are speaking to my soul and I can't wait to one day share my 'Leap'!
It really does support mindset shifting and leaning into listening to our souls speaking through. “Modern” life started in the industrial age. I has not been around that long. This is not the only way to live. In 2017 and up to two months before leaving the house I wasn’t willing to give up my stuff. Things had to be moved around, released before I was ready to lean into potentiality. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I respect the content.. also respect people going after a lifestyle that their heart truly desires, while they still can… however, a back up plan is really important, especially for black women… to romanticize not having a stable home that sits on a foundation as you age is reckless… you will get old one day.. and inflation most of the time makes it unaffordable for senior citizens to purchase a home outright, which is why paying off a home should be everyone’s goal before retirement..
Mar's story is so touching and inspiring; I love the stories of these women. I felt like they were talking about my life. Meeting Katrina was such a beautiful experience; she is such a beautiful person. These conversations were beautiful and made my day. 😇
Black women doing what we do - be amazing- alone…. I’ll bless these women. But I crave the narrative where we are loved, supported n provided for. We have company when we travel. I’ve traveled alone over the years- and my last trip, I admitted, I need company. We deserve it ladies.
I feel so blessed to be able to see this! Thanks Stephanie! Your content is always top tier. Thanks to the ladies who also shared their stories. It’s so inspirational.
Stephanie, this live BLESSED me. I am at the point of decision making a LEAP. Yes, it is scary yet exciting. Willing to do it afraid, if necessary. I really resonated with Katrina's story. Tfs and continue success with your endeavors!
There’s definitely something about 50 and evaluating your life and creating changes. I will be 50 next year and the last couple of years I’ve been radicalizing my life and taking leaps. Thanks for sharing this.
Homelessness used to be my biggest fear. I'm not afraid of it anymore because I trust I'm going to be OK
That’s right! Way too many alternative ways of living to fear being homeless in the traditional sense. Keep the faith no matter what!
“Homelessness” in the modern sense is traumatic and frighten. And it’s the projection of homelessness that keeps us well-behaved and in the grind and hustle.

Wait...a bonus edition???? Yes!!!!!!!! Let me get settled in for the gems!
BONUS!! Thanks for watching! 💗
This video was FIRE! Thank you Franki, Kira, Mars, Adalia , Katrina and Stephanie!
Thank you for the appreciation! 🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you sooo much Stephanie for your graciousness and kindness. You are so loved and seen. ❤❤❤
Mar, it’s nice to meet you on this interview. Your story is so powerful! Thanks for sharing.
You are a mystic- we had connected one time via email I think when you/your community was looking for support for you.
Mar, thank you so much for sharing with us. I hope you see in the comments all the love and support. 💗 💗 💗
@@StephaniePerry Tears. Gratitude. Humility. Appreciation. My message to us all “trust yourself, you are a divine emissary and expression of Source”. ♥️♥️🫂🫂
@@kemi1486 a joy to “meet” you 😀🙏🏽
Oh man. This video are hitting me in the soul. This made me cry. I know its time to bust a move. I want to travel and see the world. Man thank you so much for sharing all these videos. Trying to map it out and plan. Money is not the issue I have always been told I am not smart enough to think outside of the box.
Mar resonates with me so much, I feel like she is a more evolved version of myself 😂. The idea of surrendering to fear and to intuition and spirit is something that I have been resisting. I have known what I want but my survival mode conditioning doesn’t allow for it. I have no support system, no family, no savings. I’ve done all the things and nothing gives me what I need. I only have my large dogs and cat. I think I’m going to buy a camper coach this year and just see what happens. Thank you Mar 🥲
La Mar is what would be called a Sadhu- she is completely surrendered to life... it's a very deeply spiritual way of living and many cultures have it, where the person literally asks for food they live with little and they offer their teaching....I feel that in past lives she was a monk/nun.
I agree...she is a BeautifulMonk
🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️
You describe her well Viv.
These conversations were so right on time and insightful. While each was valuable, when Mar spoke on trusting your intuition and sitting in discomfort, it really resonated with me. Stephanie, as always, thank you for bringing content that cuts through to the heart of the matter.
Mar's interview is absolutely what I needed to hear after asking guidance to retire this year.
Blessings Sister Perry I just Listened to Franki oh what an Inspiration I am Leaping in 2024. Thank You for All you do to Encourage and Inspire us as Black Women!!🥰🥰
Franki is wonderful. Make sure you subscribe to her channel: www.youtube.com/@JoyRoute
All you beautiful melanated women are such an inspiration! I recently decided to quit my job as a nurse practitioner to be a stay-at-home mom after being in school for almost 10 years. The beautiful stories you shared definitely gave me the courage. I can’t wait to embark on my journey with my family with living out our dreams!🎉
I am a free person, i never thought it was necessary to ponder and say those words, thank you!🖤💚❤️💯
Love you for this! You are young....beautiful young 50 year old women who do not look your age ...I/we are 70 plus....what can we/I do. I truly thank God for you!
This was a pleasant surprise. Great conversations & these women have great energy. Thank you!
Hey!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
LeMar's story was very touching and hits very close to home....thank yuo for sharing and being so vulnerable and authentic in doing it
Mar is inspiring ❤ 🤗
Thank you 🙏🏽 😀 The women on this platform have and continue to inspire me to more freedom.
Yes, this someone, who has been stressing for months on deciding the next step…sleepless, tired and tired some more…received 1:01:30 the message. There was a reason why I woke up at 1 am, scrolled endlessly and ended up here 🙌 grateful for the nuggets and inspiration 🙏
Thank you Mar for sharing your beautiful spirit with us!
Thank you for the appreciation. ♥️♥️🙏🏽👏🏽
What a collection of leaps in life changes for the better. If I had listened to these narratives at a younger, less enlightened age, I would have dismissed those choices. Now, with less filtering and a wider perspective of black woman ease, I understand and applaud their individual journeys. Congrats to you and Rashida for pioneering this alternate life choice!
Mar really spoke to my soul💜 Wow. Thanks so much for this compilation. Truly inspiring.
Im sending so much love to Mar. She's telling my story too. I relate to it in my own way. She made me literally cry so hard. So authentic. and powerful testimony on intuition and surrender.
These ladies are beautiful individualistically and amazing. Thank you for the video, Stephanie…your heart is seen in you leaning into each of these ladies….are amazing.
I’m pushing 40 so this is cool to see! I’m so inspired by you all! ❤❤ I’m ready to quit my job and take that leap!
Thank you ladies for sharing your story. I think I need to go back and revisit my 2024 goals.
Love love love this video. Sharing with my daughter so she can plan her leap and stop procrastinating.I totally support her.
I so love these shares! 💗 Especially Mar's. I feel like we're all gonna have to go through this de-conditioning sooner or later. I love all the gratitude they give to Stephanie for helping them see another way to live and for creating this community. 🥰I appreciate it as well!
La Mar, your sense of joy and freedom is so clear! It radiates!
Thank you. Life blessed me and continues to bless me by removing everything that is not True. 😀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️
I enjoyed listening to all the brave women to hear the story to encourage me to live out my dream and stop being fearful
I enjoyed this session so much. Mars is such an inspirational spirit. She touched my soul. I am a free person!
Keira makes such a great point, I am often aware of what I am teaching my son about women, wifehood and motherhood.
Go with me here…they’ve done studies of women who earned degrees as adults, expecting the highest benefit to be to those women, but the largest benefit is actually to their children for watching their mothers exercise agency.
I am convinced that this is a research study in the making! I cannot wait to hear from these children when they themselves become adults. The impact of exercising agency must be tremendous. My heart leaps at the thought!
These experiences are AMAZING ❤❤❤
This was so moving! Thank you, Stephanie!
What beautiful women. Thank you Stephanie. What a gift ❤🙌🏾❤🥂
Thank you Stephanie. I have been watching since quarantine. I started my business and am pushing forward get it certified MWBE in NYC. Yeah , my dream is to live abroad. You are a quality inspiration. Thank you for giving a voice to so many areas within a black women. I am a mom of 6 boys- they all plan to live abroad someday 😉
Hi Stephanie. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing. What a beautiful person and mind to encounter! Yes, You are. 🎉❤
All is WELL
Thank you for this...i left my oldest two children to move out of state with my youngest son and his father. Hus father and i are now separated and he spends all of his time with his dad. I do want to move abroad but dont want the mom guilt.
What an awesome Friday treat. Stephanie, you are forever acquainting us with a taste of reality in different ways. On this night, via replay, you acquainted me with Sisters who carved a path for themselves radically. Those change makers are no longer bound by others views or 9 to 5 occupations that took more than it gave. Thank you for tonight and so much more.
This is one of your best episodes ! I felt it.. thank you
Thank u Stephie working on my move
I love Franki’s energy
WOW ! U R AMAZING . U MAKE ME WANT TO LEAP WITH GOD'S BLESSING NOW !!
My correct comment is I am looking for a small cabin in a Mountain Community I am a senior thanks for any tips
This is a very beautiful broadcast and video channel and community. Lately, I have become so exhausted from racial trauma, discrimination, loss of loved one to death across years, and being unable to connect with others, that I have gone through an existential crisis worse. I lost both of my parents to cancer before I turned 16 years old. I've only had two real friends in my 50 year life and most of my siblings are estranged and could care whether I okay or otherwise. All I've ever wanted was family and connection. And I would be so happy with being able to experience what it's like to have one true authentic friend, again. The two real friends that I had across 50 years died too and it's been years since I can say that I've had a real friend or a longer connection with any community or otherwise. Is anyone interested in being a pen pal or cultivating a connection virtually?
I watched this today, and it was very inspiring and motivating. I'll be 49 next month and I'm ready to take some leaps.
This was truly amazing!! Such inspiring women speaking their truths and sharing so graciously their journeys. Stephanie, thank you so much for all that you continue to do with this community. I'm a recent new member having joined only this past December, but since that short time I can feel a change stirring within me! I'm loving learning about what is possible. The women in this community are speaking to my soul and I can't wait to one day share my 'Leap'!
It really does support mindset shifting and leaning into listening to our souls speaking through. “Modern” life started in the industrial age. I has not been around that long. This is not the only way to live. In 2017 and up to two months before leaving the house I wasn’t willing to give up my stuff. Things had to be moved around, released before I was ready to lean into potentiality. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Loving the conversations with all of the guests…nuggets of wisdom being dropped throughout the video!🤗🌹
All of the women are so inspiring. Loved this format of sharing their experiences. This was so enlightening.
I respect the content.. also respect people going after a lifestyle that their heart truly desires, while they still can… however, a back up plan is really important, especially for black women… to romanticize not having a stable home that sits on a foundation as you age is reckless… you will get old one day.. and inflation most of the time makes it unaffordable for senior citizens to purchase a home outright, which is why paying off a home should be everyone’s goal before retirement..
Mar's story is so touching and inspiring; I love the stories of these women. I felt like they were talking about my life. Meeting Katrina was such a beautiful experience; she is such a beautiful person. These conversations were beautiful and made my day. 😇
Thank you Stephanie!! You are a creator of beauty and wisdom! Grateful for you and your channel ❤
I just LOVE you’ll!!!😢❤❤❤
💗 💗 💗
I am so glad to stumble across your channel. This is my dream to travel around the world
Black women doing what we do - be amazing- alone…. I’ll bless these women. But I crave the narrative where we are loved, supported n provided for. We have company when we travel.
I’ve traveled alone over the years- and my last trip, I admitted, I need company. We deserve it ladies.
Thank you for sharing 🙌🏾
Thank you Mar ❤🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this
I loved all the interviews, but Katrina's was my favorite. She has such a beautiful smile!
This was inspiring! Thank you
I just smiled through this whole video.❤ Thanks Stephanie!
Great gems dropped and wonderful testimonies
Congratulations on the book 🎉Stephanie, you are our inspiration 💖🎁
Thanks for sharing your story ladies 😊
Good morning!!! This is so wonderful! Thank you!!!
I feel so blessed to be able to see this! Thanks Stephanie! Your content is always top tier. Thanks to the ladies who also shared their stories. It’s so inspirational.
Thank you so much for this! I enjoyed every second! Such inspiring stories all around!
Stephanie, this live BLESSED me. I am at the point of decision making a LEAP. Yes, it is scary yet exciting. Willing to do it afraid, if necessary. I really resonated with Katrina's story. Tfs and continue success with your endeavors!
So inspiring, thanks for sharing ❤
Love Franki and taking her joy route!
You’re getting us ready!!!! We are ready!
There’s definitely something about 50 and evaluating your life and creating changes. I will be 50 next year and the last couple of years I’ve been radicalizing my life and taking leaps. Thanks for sharing this.
This was very informative! I loved it!
