We as black women have to normalize putting ourselves first, realizing our dreams, living in and with ease, being guilt free for existing in joy on our own terms. Thank you for always being enlightening and inspiring.
I'm not 100% sure what I want, which is an uncomfortable place for me to sit in. I've ALWAYS had a plan, and I've ALWAYS worked my plan. Now I'm a little clueless. I don't know what direction I want my life to go, but I DO know I want to experience and feel ease, flow, peace, abundance, and freedom.......
I have taken the step I needed to move abroad. Listed and sold my home in three days. Closing in 3 weeks. Going to travel to Panama for a relocation tour and start process to gain residency and move to the beach.
I quit my job & took a baby sabbatical for a month and it felt glorious! I got to explore some of my interests and take steps out of my comfort zone. The mental break was well worth it and I didn't feel stressed to go back to work until I felt my needs would be met.
Hi Stephanie. To soothe the ache of so much time in jobs that were not true to me, I wrote mysteries, crafted, did things as a distraction. I retired 4 years ago and I'm totally good doing nothing. Strangely enough, I have too much to do. Lol
DAYS later, thankfully I started traveling at a young age by getting my USA Passport back in the 1970s, and my life has been amazing . Age 70 physically fit speaking 3 🔥 foreign languages. I have residency already in Central America, since 1999. .... ... Child FREE here
After returning to work from taking a 6 month sabbatical last yr, I’m now a terrible employee because I know I don’t want to work & I’m 12 yrs away from traditional retirement age. Ugh 😩🤦🏽♀️
I am in the exact same position on a new job after a sabbatical. I have no self-motivation to do this job, even for the good money. Its not even stressful, just don't desire to prove my value to these people. I am learning how to use my current resources and savings to live more freely until the magic retirement age. Then this job is history.
For awhile I thought going back to school to get a 2nd Masters was what I needed to do, what I wanted to do. And then I sat with that feeling and said NOPE. Its not! Now I'm in the rest and take it easy phase of life and listen to all that may unfold.
I have been learning to rest and work on self care. I have cut down on the rat race, people pleasing,low key envy, having a list, comparison and bad energy. I now enjoy my own company, “I deserve”standards are required! The super woman cape has been taken off. Thank you ❤
Your videos really help me after I quit my job last year. I took my time looking for another job and was able to take 10 months off from work. I just landed a better paying job and it will be mostly remote. So I am glad that I have decided to stop working so hard and take my life easier for my health. It is so nice to have you telling bw it is okay to take it easy.
This completely blessed my spirit! I am finally taking action. After 22 years in K-12 education, I am resigning in June! No new job...taking time to get clarity
Love this! I wanted to bop around after college - instead I immediately got married and started a family. Then I wanted to bop around after the kid went to college - instead I got remarried and added MORE to my business. NOW I am parsing down the business so that I can work less, divorcing and I plan to bop around for at LEAST six month b/w U.S. and the rest of the world before buying a house.
I want to feel free. A free spirit who can explore my creativity without restraint. I want to take a road trip to visit the countries of my roots as I retire at 73. I know that I need to clear and declutter where I live so I can continue my healthful energetic life. I would love to meet other women with similar outlook. 🙏🏿💜🙏🏿
Thank you for all that you give I've watched for several years I set in motion a plan to Roaftrip USA my mom passed and a I spiraled downward watching you and the family os sisters has inspired me once again I've packed up and moved to the Gambia with no intention of moving back I hope to meet up with the group on your next meeting on the Continent again thank you by the way I turn 66 in August I'm now on my Nomadic Journey beginning in Africa
Thank you for sharing that. Just turned 67 today and kinda feel as if I'm too old to go out on my own and travel or live in a foreign country. But if you can do it, why not me.
I want to feel free, fulfilled, excited, abundant. I want to do the things I’ve always wanted to do but been too scared to get started on: Start a blog or write as a freelancer, start a podcast, start a moms group, find a community/village… I did what other ppl have always wanted me to do in my 20’s: Go to school get a degree (even though I didn’t like it, get a job, etc. but I’ve felt unfulfilled a good majority of my 30’s, I’m now 37 just relocated back to NC end of 2021 with my son. It’s always been on my bucket list to live on my own here. I’m trying to figure out what lights me up now that we are back and fills up my cup instead of depending on everyone else for my own happiness. Im at the point of my life where I just want to try instead of living in my fear of what could go wrong.
Wow! I needed to hear this. Exhausted and broke, medical bills piling up going through testing trying to find whats happening. Ashamed that i just dont want to work and fufill my role as a supportive daughter and mom of adults with some challenges. Im afraid to fly but so ready to be somewhere else! Im not lazy! I just want to live a simple life and be happy!
Just ending a 2 year sabbatical and heading back to the US temporarily until I find the next location I want to be for another while. Excellent journey filled with good/bad, but realized that I don't need to sit in the US long term if I don't want to. I can be anywhere and still be great!🎉
I had to fill my cup of worthiness. The pandemic was such a blessing for me in many ways. One was getting quiet and becoming familiar with my inner voice; reconnecting and healing the little girl in me. I went back and picked up the pieces of me. Dr. Thema's homecoming podcast was a powerful part of my process. So grateful for community. I also love what you said about achieving. At one point I was on a PhD track and I realized that it really had nothing to do with a PhD, it was about financial abundance. The Exodus Summit 2022 helped me embrace the possibility of higher earning without additional education, certification, or striving. Again, the worthiness. Being open to someone giving me feedback about my employment history and affirming me. Telling me that I was ready and able to earn a salary to fund my dreams and goals. This community is the bEST thing for liberated black women.
Sometimes I feel a little guilty for saying the pandemic was one of the best things that happened to my life but it is true. So much changed for me when I got laid off and life continues to get better everyday since.
You are so on point and on time! I’ll be 40 in a couple years and started feeling like I needed a change. I just naturally did the first thing on your list and went from working super hard at 2 jobs, to significantly scaling back my hours and responsibilities. I don’t yet know what I want to go going forward but just doing that one thing already has me feeling like I’m on the right path yo getting there. Really appreciate your content ❤
I’m on the “Rest” stage of my journey. After being hospitalized last year, I’ve decided to relocate to Miami Beach and I got a job where I’m literally laying out on the ocean every day. My next goal is to take a trip to El Salvador.
...truer words were never spoken, Stephanie (as I sit here working on assignments[plural] in my doctoral program). I want spaciousness, tenderness, and an MRS degree (yea, I said it, y'all).
God says the same, I will retire in 4 years 🎉 & my life begins my way. Have always enjoy the Caribbean & culture will explore with my husband months at a time & return to our home in the states & pick our next place as it comes. Will be so thankful 🙏 ❤️ & humbled with Gods blessing to just do me ....whatever I want....when I want. We owe this to ourselves in this life time. Fulfill the desires of our hearts..we are so, so deserving. Love, peace, blessings, good health, joy & happiness. 🎉❤ Thank you Stephanie, though my course is a little different, I truly desire that life of ease & I am serious about getting there day by day. Thankful I found your channel. Blessings ✨️
Thank you Ms. Stephanie. Definitely feeling this is not the life I want for myself. 2 grown children out of house. Mortgage is paid off...no longer want to keep killing myself for this rat race. Ready for freedom, peace of mind, ease, and maintain good health.....Ready to make a move and watch me and the UNIVERSE align
I needed this Stephanie. How can this be done when your finances are in absolute shambles 😭 (any channel suggestions)? This really cannot be it, I will not allow it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏
Congratulations, Stephanie, on your accomplishments and the positive effects you are having on our lives. I say "our" because I am a black male who also enjoys your content. Thank you!
Needed this today 🤗 I want to feel rested and emersed in African art and music, the natural rainforest, the sea or a pool, be replenished of love and energy, and embrace change.
I've got to get from under this toxic place I'm living right now (Colorado) the jobs that I've had seem to be becoming more toxic, my landlord who is a toxic narcissists is trying to get me to catch a case so he can evict me.....1st step is getting my passport
I'm doing content creation but it's hard to do everything that I want because I need to pack up (mostly my late mother's collections) and move by the end of June.
Thank you Stephanie! I was just telling my wife today I need change now. We know what we want. Unfortunately, I have to grind first at our current jobs and meet some goals to make our dream happen...so not too much rest right now. Sometimes, it's draining, but I am willing to sacrifice another year for a lifetime of rest, freedom and not relying on the traditional 9 to 5. I do take time daily to do things I love. We both did Exodus Summit last year, and it changed our lives. I just need an accountability group. Sending you peace, light and positivity Stephanie.
I’d love to feel free! I went from my parent’s home straight to my husband’s home. Been here since and in deeaaaaddd tired. Been here from 19-22. Yes, it’s a blessing bc I’ve never paid bills etc but I’ll tell ya, bills aren’t the only thing that defines you as an adult. I want to…chill…for the same amount of years I’ve been living my husband’s life. The in laws are horrid and it’s been too much. Where do I start!?!?
I have been watching you since the Pandemic began..You have been inspirational. I've started to dig deep into what I want a gew years ago. I wrote the vision board, researched programs and companies that were in alignment, and slowly taking steps. Presently Ive connected with a educational travel company, were I will be traveling for free, educating and get paid to do it. It's just the beginning..Thanks!
I would love the financial resources to have more freedom. It's is so very very mentally exhausting living off one income and can't do social media right now due to my job. God just help me payoff my car sooner to be able TO BREATHE. AMEN!!
Start with how you want to feel. Really good advice. I want to feel love, freedom and light. I want to laugh more and worry less. I want to dance and sing.
It took an emotional attack and mental breakdown to make me sit down... and this video is speaking directly to me. I noticed while I was under stress... I stopped doing things I enjoyed... like reading! Now... I'm reading again... I've become creative again... and although I'm still figuring it out... I know Im changing and going down another path. I'm working it out. Whew... feels like I can exhale...
@Stephanie Perry These were gonna be my latest suggestions for merch, but now I think book chapters would be better: #1 Don’t Grind, Rest #2 Don’t Edit Your Dreams #3 Take Action #4 Normalize What You Want 🎉💕👍🏽📓
I want to feel prosperous in abundance, in health, wealth, love, joy, peace, grace, grattitude, humanitarianism and respect. I claim it now and so it shall be.. Love, love,love your channel, I am so grateful for all you do!
Thank you, Stephanie!! 2 excellent things came out of this video for me: 1. Realizing I'm struggling with obtaining my Bachelors degree b/c it out of alignment with my goals. I alreay have and can access what I need with out it, time waster! Removing it to "do less." Also 2. Thank you for mentioning Dr. Thema, never heard of her, just looked her up, & I already know she will benefit me. The other points are also helping
I am so thankful to have found this community. Moving abroad was a thing that I up and decided after my father died last year and here I am about to do it! I was not about to let life pass me by any longer. I cannot stress enough the comfort and affirmation that comes with seeing other black women out here living their best lives!
You are so kind and thoughtful when you speak on your videos. Because of you reinventing YOUR life has made us believe we can do it also. Your first suggestion of “do less” is so significant. We have to make a paradigm shift from busy busy to sitting still with ourselves our thoughts is truly revolutionary. It was a pleasure meeting you and hanging out with black women with the same mindset. Appreciate your spirit. Diane A
Please don’t judge me. I just started paying a lady to come clean my home once a month, for $150. And my family does NOT like it. Am I wrong? I’m just tired boss. I’m wife & mom. I work full time. I just need time and I thought this was a great idea. 😢
No you are not wrong at all. I have cleaners come once a month as well for $150 too. It is money well spent for me. As a busy Mom and physician, I really appreciate the help and love a clean home. If I did it myself it would take me hours. We busy women deserve to have a break. Don’t feel guilty😊
You are absolutely not wrong for having someone clean your house. I have someone clean my house as well once a month. I look forward to the cleaning day !😊. Do you! If someone has something to say, tell them to clean your house then.😄
YESSSS ♥️😇🙏 we are so greatful for all you shall and teach us Black 🖤❤️😅women that we truly need. Your care 😘 & committed for us is awesome and wonderful 😊🎉🎉. Thank you 👍👍 ❤️❤️ Stephanie Perry. You are marvelous 💕🥰🤩💋😘🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this isn't a feeling, but I do want to feel ease. I feel like living in a major city, working a very fast paced job makes so much feel difficult. Grocery shopping, having to travel across town to a laundromat, just the simple, mundane things feel like such a heavy lift. Ease is the goal as I enter my 30s in the Fall.
I desire to have a life of peace but excitement, abundance and fully taken care of. I desire to have an overflow of $$$$$, paid for my complete worth; knowing I am prepared for the moment and the future. I desire to feel free and relaxed; unbothered by all the things that come with US-living, if you will. I desire to live in beautiful spaces, where I see myself in others with a thriving art community. I also desire not to worry about finances! -- wow I needed this exercise! Thank You!
I want to feel freeeeee! I want to do and not to keep watching other people do. I've been watching you for over 2 years now, Stephanie, and I'm so happy to say I've taken 2 major steps towards my freedom. No.#2 is I learned how to braid my own hair so concerns about doing my hair while living/traveling abroad are completely erased! I can just braid it and not fuss over it for months at a time. No#1 is that I had major surgery a week ago. This was surgery to free me from suffering I've endured for over 20 years. I've been so scared to do it and I was also seeking alternative treatments that, unfortunately, did not work for me. There was no way I would travel with the issues I had. I was riddled with fear and worry about pain and discomfort, AND about having to travel with everything I would need to deal with a crisis should one arise. I'm so committed to my freedom that it outweighed my fear of having surgery for the first time ever. I even let them perform both major procedures simultaneously instead of one now and one in a year. I was warned that, even though there was no risk to my health to do both procedures in the same surgery, I would be in excruciating pain and would have to be extra careful during the very vulnerable first week. I'm now just outside of that danger zone and am well on my way to healing. I did it! The thing that keeps me saying no whenever the opportunity to travel comes up is no longer a thing! I would not have done it if I wasn't watching you (and the others - Shida, Alecia Renee and Adalia) on repeat in my apartment. You have convinced me that the life I want and the way I want to feel are possible. My mind is so saturated with examples of those dreams coming true for other black women you've interviewed that it helped propel me past my fear and onto the surgery table. I'm going to keep watching your CZcams channel and as soon as tickets for Exodus Summit 2023 and the Exodus Meetup 2024 are available, I'm going to jump all over it and try my best to be in attendance at both!! I have a few more shackles to break so that I can be free and one of them is the shackle of isolation and life-ing alone. I'm looking forward to finding community at Exodus Summit! Thanks, Stephanie!
My first time watching this video. (2-2-2024) Good, sound advice. Thanks for sharing. You are an Inventor, Stephanie. You are in inspiration. You put into action what a lot of women have been wanting to do all along but didn't know how. You started something positive for Black women. Thank you. I lived in San Diego years and years ago. I didn't like it. I was only 19. Now I'm 74. 😂😂
Finally catching up on all your juicy replays, Stephanie! So happy to see this video. 😃Thank you, thank you, thank you!! for summarizing so beautifully the process I've been going through since 2020 when I first discovered you and your good work! Without knowing you would do this video, I've followed all of these steps in preparation for my 2022-2023 50+ Empty Nester, Career Sabbatical and US Nomad Year. Sharing your story and experience is changing so many lives, especially those of your fellow Black Africana Sisters like me. I'm deeply grateful. May Mother-Father God bless and keep you!! 🕊☮💌
We as black women have to normalize putting ourselves first, realizing our dreams, living in and with ease, being guilt free for existing in joy on our own terms. Thank you for always being enlightening and inspiring.
So very true … I’m praying to get to this place and pushing through my fear.
I want to maintain good health, be debt free and be in community with true like minded, progressive black people. That’s it, that’s all.
That’s enough❤ Me too!
@@sharjb2271 yessssss ma'am that's the real deal
I want to feel freedom and I want to love where I'm living.
🙌🏾
I too want to feel FREEDOM! After 20+ years of marriage and 2 now grown children..It is my dream! And I'm going after it❤❤
Me too
Yes! Me too
🙄 Here we go! Omg! always lurking around every corner wondering about us black folk. LEAVE US ALONE!!!
I want to feel relaxed and healthy. I also want to enjoy the home and city where I live.
I want to feel free, safe, carefree, at peace, at ease, abundant and loved.
I'm not 100% sure what I want, which is an uncomfortable place for me to sit in. I've ALWAYS had a plan, and I've ALWAYS worked my plan. Now I'm a little clueless. I don't know what direction I want my life to go, but I DO know I want to experience and feel ease, flow, peace, abundance, and freedom.......
Don't feel bad about it. Just take a day to yourself and write down what makes you happy or laugh. Start there.
Same here
I definitely can relate to this
"Your homecoming is not to be found in exhaustion..." AMEN
I want to feel free, spirit settled, respected and in control of my future and destiny. 💯💥
💗
I have taken the step I needed to move abroad. Listed and sold my home in three days. Closing in 3 weeks. Going to travel to Panama for a relocation tour and start process to gain residency and move to the beach.
This. ❤❤❤
Nice!!!!!
Wow, this is amazing for you….congratulations!🎉🎉
Congratulations🥂 I aaaaabsolutely loved Panama❤️✈️
Wow!! Congratulations to you ! I wish you the best of the best !!
I quit my job & took a baby sabbatical for a month and it felt glorious! I got to explore some of my interests and take steps out of my comfort zone. The mental break was well worth it and I didn't feel stressed to go back to work until I felt my needs would be met.
Glorious, yes!! 💗
I want to feel free, relaxed, healthy, abundant joy and love.
I want peace of mind and to be healthy mentally and physically.
Hi Stephanie. To soothe the ache of so much time in jobs that were not true to me, I wrote mysteries, crafted, did things as a distraction. I retired 4 years ago and I'm totally good doing nothing. Strangely enough, I have too much to do. Lol
This is wonderful! Working and working can really drain us of our creativity. I'm so glad you've reclaimed it! 💗
Years ago I got my Real Estate License based on a recommendation from my now ex-husband. I keep it current but have no interest in selling…anything
DAYS later, thankfully I started traveling at a young age by getting my USA Passport back in the 1970s, and my life has been amazing . Age 70 physically fit speaking 3 🔥 foreign languages. I have residency already in Central America, since 1999. .... ... Child FREE here
I wanna feel free!

I want to feel free and light

1. Rest
2. Don't edit the dream
3. Take action
4. Get in like minded community
I'm on 3 and 4 and amazing things are happening for me 😊🎉
This completely blessed my spirit! I am finally taking action. After 22 years in K-12 education, I am resigning in June! No new job...taking time to get clarity

I'm so glad to hear it! I believe free time is the path to clarity. Keep freeing yourself. 💗
U look beautiful. Much love
Awww thanks so much Lisa! 💗
“I deserve…” yep, I felt that. Thank you, Stephanie.
Jay G, you deserve. 💗
I’m on the “Rest” stage of my journey. After being hospitalized last year, I’ve decided to relocate to Miami Beach and I got a job where I’m literally laying out on the ocean every day. My next goal is to take a trip to El Salvador.
I like the idea of finding a community. That definitely resonates.
Go for it Stephanie! Book publishing is fantastic!
I'm excited!! 🙌🏾
...truer words were never spoken, Stephanie (as I sit here working on assignments[plural] in my doctoral program). I want spaciousness, tenderness, and an MRS degree (yea, I said it, y'all).
Nothin wrong with that😊
Nothing wrong with that at all. My short time as a Mrs and mama were interesting I must say.
God says the same, I will retire in 4 years 🎉 & my life begins my way.

I needed this Stephanie.
How can this be done when your finances are in absolute shambles 😭 (any channel suggestions)?
This really cannot be it, I will not allow it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏
Maybe Go Fund Me?
Congratulations, Stephanie, on your accomplishments and the positive effects you are having on our lives. I say "our" because I am a black male who also enjoys your content. Thank you!
Thanks Teddy! 💗
Needed this today 🤗
I want to feel rested and emersed in African art and music, the natural rainforest, the sea or a pool, be replenished of love and energy, and embrace change.
Getting my ducks in order!!
I've got to get from under this toxic place I'm living right now (Colorado) the jobs that I've had seem to be becoming more toxic, my landlord who is a toxic narcissists is trying to get me to catch a case so he can evict me.....1st step is getting my passport
Couple of weeks + $150 = passport
You always provide such great advice. In my head I call you sister ease. 🥰 thank you 😊
I'm doing content creation but it's hard to do everything that I want because I need to pack up (mostly my late mother's collections) and move by the end of June.
I too want to feel abundance. A new start to that has been to buy an acre of land in Arizona.
Thank you Stephanie! I was just telling my wife today I need change now. We know what we want. Unfortunately, I have to grind first at our current jobs and meet some goals to make our dream happen...so not too much rest right now. Sometimes, it's draining, but I am willing to sacrifice another year for a lifetime of rest, freedom and not relying on the traditional 9 to 5.
I do take time daily to do things I love. We both did Exodus Summit last year, and it changed our lives. I just need an accountability group. Sending you peace, light and positivity Stephanie.
I want to feel like abundant and unstuck I want to feel alive again like joyful and excited how I was when I was a little girl
I want to feel safe & relaxed.
Thank you for all you do.
I’d love to feel free! I went from my parent’s home straight to my husband’s home. Been here since and in deeaaaaddd tired. Been here from 19-22. Yes, it’s a blessing bc I’ve never paid bills etc but I’ll tell ya, bills aren’t the only thing that defines you as an adult. I want to…chill…for the same amount of years I’ve been living my husband’s life. The in laws are horrid and it’s been too much. Where do I start!?!?
Thank you, Stephanie ❤❤❤
You're welcome Theresa. Thanks for watching! 💗
I have been watching you since the Pandemic began..You have been inspirational. I've started to dig deep into what I want a gew years ago. I wrote the vision board, researched programs and companies that were in alignment, and slowly taking steps. Presently Ive connected with a educational travel company, were I will be traveling for free, educating and get paid to do it. It's just the beginning..Thanks!
Blessing to you! How do I research such a company? Thx, Rebecca
I want to feel (I am) free, joyful, loved, abundant, prosperous, supported and totally healthy in a healthy environment full of sunshine and leisure.
I would love the financial resources to have more freedom. It's is so very very mentally exhausting living off one income and can't do social media right now due to my job. God just help me payoff my car sooner to be able TO BREATHE. AMEN!!
You have helped me so much you have no idea
" ..I have come to give life more abundantly." That part. I have always loved the part. It breaks alot of NOs into WHYNOTs.
Start with how you want to feel. Really good advice. I want to feel love, freedom and light. I want to laugh more and worry less. I want to dance and sing.
It took an emotional attack and mental breakdown to make me sit down... and this video is speaking directly to me. I noticed while I was under stress... I stopped doing things I enjoyed... like reading! Now... I'm reading again... I've become creative again... and although I'm still figuring it out... I know Im changing and going down another path. I'm working it out. Whew... feels like I can exhale...
San Diego! I need to come meet you..this is my spot LOL
Amen! I have been moving with these steps. I know I'm on the right track now!! Thank you. And YES YOU ARE a therapist and coach!❤❤
I appreciate that this conversation exists in the world. Thank you.
I'm a latino man but I need change too, but I'm afraid of changes
Manifest it.
Please don't be afraid. Thank you for being honest. Trust yourself, God, and the UNIVERSE to align. We all deserve the best life has to offer.
@Stephanie Perry These were gonna be my latest suggestions for merch, but now I think book chapters would be better: #1 Don’t Grind, Rest #2 Don’t Edit Your Dreams #3 Take Action #4 Normalize What You Want 🎉💕👍🏽📓
I want to feel prosperous in abundance, in health, wealth, love, joy, peace, grace, grattitude, humanitarianism and respect.
I claim it now and so it shall be..
Love, love,love your channel, I am so grateful for all you do!
I want to feel worthy, creative, luxurious opulence and wealthy with freedom to travel, educate, share and love on a the world.
1st step. Community
Freedom
Thank you, Stephanie!! 2 excellent things came out of this video for me: 1. Realizing I'm struggling with obtaining my Bachelors degree b/c it out of alignment with my goals. I alreay have and can access what I need with out it, time waster! Removing it to "do less." Also 2. Thank you for mentioning Dr. Thema, never heard of her, just looked her up, & I already know she will benefit me. The other points are also helping
You're so welcome. Dr. Thema's podcast is fantastic. 💗
I needed to hear this message today. Thank you! ❤
You're welcome Rachel. Thanks for watching. 💗
Just peaceful sexy happy, love and thankful. Just that I’m in the right place ❤
Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your on point insight. ❤
I am so thankful to have found this community. Moving abroad was a thing that I up and decided after my father died last year and here I am about to do it! I was not about to let life pass me by any longer. I cannot stress enough the comfort and affirmation that comes with seeing other black women out here living their best lives!
You are so kind and thoughtful when you speak on your videos. Because of you reinventing YOUR life has made us believe we can do it also. Your first suggestion of “do less” is so significant. We have to make a paradigm shift from busy busy to sitting still with ourselves our thoughts is truly revolutionary. It was a pleasure meeting you and hanging out with black women with the same mindset. Appreciate your spirit.

Please don’t judge me. I just started paying a lady to come clean my home once a month, for $150. And my family does NOT like it. Am I wrong? I’m just tired boss. I’m wife & mom. I work full time. I just need time and I thought this was a great idea. 😢
No you are not wrong at all. I have cleaners come once a month as well for $150 too. It is money well spent for me. As a busy Mom and physician, I really appreciate the help and love a clean home. If I did it myself it would take me hours. We busy women deserve to have a break. Don’t feel guilty😊
@@jackiecelestin6987 thank you so much. Your comment meant more to me than you will ever know. 🥰
You are absolutely not wrong for having someone clean your house. I have someone clean my house as well once a month. I look forward to the cleaning day !😊. Do you! If someone has something to say, tell them to clean your house then.😄
Nothing wrong with that! That's self care ❤
@@sassylinda4617 Please do what is beneficial to YOU. Don’t invite the guilt monster to have a seat in your brain.
YESSSS ♥️😇🙏 we are so greatful for all you shall and teach us Black 🖤❤️😅women that we truly need.
Your care 😘 & committed for us is awesome and wonderful 😊🎉🎉.
Thank you 👍👍 ❤️❤️ Stephanie Perry.
You are marvelous 💕🥰🤩💋😘🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this isn't a feeling, but I do want to feel ease. I feel like living in a major city, working a very fast paced job makes so much feel difficult. Grocery shopping, having to travel across town to a laundromat, just the simple, mundane things feel like such a heavy lift. Ease is the goal as I enter my 30s in the Fall.
Feel free, happy and totally abundant ❤
I desire to have a life of peace but excitement, abundance and fully taken care of. I desire to have an overflow of $$$$$, paid for my complete worth; knowing I am prepared for the moment and the future. I desire to feel free and relaxed; unbothered by all the things that come with US-living, if you will. I desire to live in beautiful spaces, where I see myself in others with a thriving art community. I also desire not to worry about finances! -- wow I needed this exercise! Thank You!
I want to feel Freedom and Peace. All the joy and ease of being in flow!
Stephanie you are speaking directly to my soul! Thank you for this because I was so worried about the how that I lost track of the why!
I want to feel freeeeee! I want to do and not to keep watching other people do. I've been watching you for over 2 years now, Stephanie, and I'm so happy to say I've taken 2 major steps towards my freedom. No.#2 is I learned how to braid my own hair so concerns about doing my hair while living/traveling abroad are completely erased! I can just braid it and not fuss over it for months at a time. No#1 is that I had major surgery a week ago. This was surgery to free me from suffering I've endured for over 20 years. I've been so scared to do it and I was also seeking alternative treatments that, unfortunately, did not work for me. There was no way I would travel with the issues I had. I was riddled with fear and worry about pain and discomfort, AND about having to travel with everything I would need to deal with a crisis should one arise. I'm so committed to my freedom that it outweighed my fear of having surgery for the first time ever. I even let them perform both major procedures simultaneously instead of one now and one in a year. I was warned that, even though there was no risk to my health to do both procedures in the same surgery, I would be in excruciating pain and would have to be extra careful during the very vulnerable first week. I'm now just outside of that danger zone and am well on my way to healing. I did it! The thing that keeps me saying no whenever the opportunity to travel comes up is no longer a thing! I would not have done it if I wasn't watching you (and the others - Shida, Alecia Renee and Adalia) on repeat in my apartment. You have convinced me that the life I want and the way I want to feel are possible. My mind is so saturated with examples of those dreams coming true for other black women you've interviewed that it helped propel me past my fear and onto the surgery table. I'm going to keep watching your CZcams channel and as soon as tickets for Exodus Summit 2023 and the Exodus Meetup 2024 are available, I'm going to jump all over it and try my best to be in attendance at both!! I have a few more shackles to break so that I can be free and one of them is the shackle of isolation and life-ing alone. I'm looking forward to finding community at Exodus Summit! Thanks, Stephanie!
Good for you! Blessing, RS
I'm tired of winter....I want to live in a place that is warm. I want to be free and be loved.
I took a step recently. Actually, I am taking 3 steps. Whoohoo.
I need to do this, however, im worried about the safety factor.
I’m reading Dr Thema’s book “Homecoming!”
I am so sad I missed this!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this energy, Stephanie. Thank you!
I want to feel peace, I want to know what it is to be secure, I want continuous abundance and to be wrapped in joy.
I want to feel free; to speak without second thoughts, I don't want to feel guilt.
Another excellent truth filled video! Well done sis!👏🏾👏🏾
My first time watching this video. (2-2-2024) Good, sound advice. Thanks for sharing. You are an Inventor, Stephanie. You are in inspiration. You put into action what a lot of women have been wanting to do all along but didn't know how. You started something positive for Black women. Thank you. I lived in San Diego years and years ago. I didn't like it. I was only 19. Now I'm 74. 😂😂
I want to “Feel Like Abundance” too❤️❤️❤️
Hello I've been wondering where you were So awesome to hear This is ME 60 and 22.5 years and I'm burnt out stressed out
All i can say is you are a blessing. Im interested in book publishing so keep us up to date.
I second this 1000 times
Beautiful!
Finally catching up on all your juicy replays, Stephanie! So happy to see this video. 😃Thank you, thank you, thank you!! for summarizing so beautifully the process I've been going through since 2020 when I first discovered you and your good work! Without knowing you would do this video, I've followed all of these steps in preparation for my 2022-2023 50+ Empty Nester, Career Sabbatical and US Nomad Year. Sharing your story and experience is changing so many lives, especially those of your fellow Black Africana Sisters like me. I'm deeply grateful. May Mother-Father God bless and keep you!! 🕊☮💌
