Start life from scratch in late 30s | new country, change job (moving vlog)

I tuned 39 last month. I'm unmarried with no children yet...BY CHOICE! I'm going to start a Masters full-time in a whole new country within the next few months. I'm pivoting in my career to do what I want to do and not what I can bend myself into. You're going to be fine. We're going to be fine because we're living our own lives and not what is deemed as " settling down " by society. Continue to walk bravely!

I am 44 single and planning to move to other country and start my career from scratch. Its difficult but when I saw your video and comments, I realize there are so many like me.

By the time I was 45 I had lived in VT, NH, CT, MA, FL, NC, WI, AZ, NM, and Vegas twice. I'm now 65 and the past five years have lived in Mexico and twice in Europe. I will have another move by the end of this year to a sunnier climate. I've done this alone with only my dog. We go through growth stages every 7-10 years. We are constantly evolving. I meet so many women travelers along the way. I never want to be that person on my death bed thinking I shoulda, coulda, woulda but I was too afraid to try. At 38 you are still learning so much and grasping what is important to you. You have so many wonderful moments ahead. You will be a full powerhouse with each evolution. Try different things and do not consider anything a mistake. You are learning what you like and do not like. That is valuable. I have changed careers. From psychiatric caseworker, fashion industry and now I am working on my first fictional series.Congratulations and safe journey.

I'm much younger, currently 26. At 25 I decided to move across the world and start from scratch. No friends, no connections, just a job I had applied for before moving over. It's been a little under a year now and my life is completely different. I've accomplished so many goals, overcome so many challenges, and have even found love. I feel like moving was what propelled me into this future I have today -- and I am extremely thankful I made that leap of faith. Best of luck in America!

Im 39, and moved from chile to france, to explore life, with a new job, language, and now im quit my job, and continue to explore what are my passions, and what i want to do on life ! It takes courage to do this! Congratulations!

I am 36, and I felt lost and stuck too, that scares me. Your channel is a beacon of hope, reminding me that there's so much to look forward to. I have faith in what's next! Good luck with your move, and can't wait for your updates Poppy ❤!

I don't want to "settle" either. Even when my husband and I finally buy a house and put down roots, I don't want us to "settle" in the way a lot of people do...shutting themselves off to change and growth and new experiences for the sake of maintaining routine appearances.

I am 36 and have started my life over once every few years 😂 I hope all those who are watching this truly truly believe my words — 30s is not too old. 40s is not too old. Anyone can start a new page anytime. The ONLY thing that truly stops us from doing what we want is money and opportunity. Society can say you should do this or do that by a certain age, all they want. It’s your life to live not people around you. At 32 I moved from California to New York. Because of a new job opportunity. At 34 I moved to Canada and I’m starting over. Like the wise Natasha Bedingfield once sang, “Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten.”

I just turned 37 and just put in a months notice at the job I have been at for the past 16 years. I’m ready to let go of what no longer serves me and move forward with my life.

On my 40th birthday in a month, I am moving my whole family to another country to start a new career and a new life! Talk about anxiety! Good luck with your reinvention 😊

You’ll be fine. Mel Robert’s started her life over in her forties. Vera Wang started her amazing dress line at 40. Morgan Freeman started his acting career as an older man over forty as well. The guys who made the hit song The Macarena were older men. lol. You can do it. We can all do it. ❤

And here I am at 34 thinking is too late 😢… thanks for this video girl. You got this, in fact to ALL ladies out there giving their best, U GOT THIS!!

At 38, unmarried with no kids, I left my comfortable but autopilot job that didn't excite me anymore to pursue a Master's degree in a freezing country and change my career. I remember worrying If I made the right decision. But there was an excitement in me that something better would happen. I am now 40, single, with no kids, in a better headspace, doing a job I like, living in a country I love, with big hopes for the future. I am nowhere near figured my life out yet, and I probably never will, but I am trusting the process. You will be just fine.

Watching this at 24 and feeling like my life is over because I have not figured out yet what I truly want to do in life, this gave me hope and comfort. Thank you.

Magical year for me 38. Settled and also baby arrived ❤ Life since then turned 180 degrees but I am for sure more happy and fulfilled and finally I have a clear purpose, my own family 🍀🥰🥳

I’m 37 too and relate so much to your message. My biggest concern is financial and career related. My career is going nowhere and I need to make more money. I feel so stuck in my current situation, and having no money doesn’t help. I would love if you could touch on your career change and how to start. Good luck on your next chapter. I teared up when you cried. It is exciting to start something new, but so very emotional to leave a big part of your life behind. You’ve got this!!

I am a bit older than you, I moved a few times (last one is from Italy to America), had some amazing careers from Public Safety to Artist, and I am about to pivot once more. This is what I have learned: •live a 1000 lives •people who think it’s “irresponsible” is because they are uncomfortable with themselves (you can’t change them) •it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and start over •age is a state of mind not the number of years on your ID •you will find likeminded people and it’s fantastic when you do ❤️ I wish you the world!

I am 30 years old, a single mom of one son. These days I feel so down and so broke, I feel like I want to give up. But then your video popped up on my YouTube, and your sentence hit me so hard: "Whatever you're aiming for, keep trying and you'll get there. It's just a matter of time." Thank you for sharing this video with me. I appreciate you and hope you are blessed with joy and love.

I am a male, single, of the same age as yours and found myself watching this video and relating to each and every word you said. I just moved to Dubai to try to make a living. I had everything in my home country, cars, high rank title, nice office, a lot of friends, etc but early part of this year, I have lost everything... Except for the love of my parents and siblings. I'm trying to regain that confidence and start all over again. I am sure that one day, the Lord God will pave way to the plans He has for me. I am keeping my FAITH. ❤

It's so sad that we have boxed ourselves in a perceived category as per society..... go to school-get a degree-get a job-get married-have kids-retire-die. If you are a certain age and don't reach certain goals , then people start badgering you. I wish people practiced the adage - live and let live !!!! No1 ... I repeat , no1 should be made to feel guilty of where they are in life... as long as you are happy and hustling and working hard for your happiness , you do you.
