[@HopefullyErin]

Congratulations on your continuous growth. I totally understand your emotions. I’ve had similar experiences. I wish you well with the new career transition.

[@HopefullyErin]

And what gel nail glue do you use? I’m getting ready to start back doing my own nails.

[@poisonedchrist7802]

To you do women appreciate a righteous hero a less than rich moral martyr?

[@goodgirl_goneglam6173]

I’m glad you shared your truth. This hustle culture is a whole scam and it is ABSOLUTELY fine to work a 9-5! If it’s honest work that is able to facilitate the way you want to live, then do that! We all deserve to be happy!

[@AllThingsTiffanyTV]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯💯

[@luxurylife4166]

Of course it’s fine to Work a 9-5 because majority of the world does it. And not everyone works corporate and I think when people say 9-5 there’s such a negative stigma because people think dead end or low end jobs. I love my corporate job and I work remote 100% and the salary and benefits are AMAZING!!!😭😭😭 and you’re right hustle culture is a big old scam! I love STABLE income.

[@bred973]

Kjjj

[@goodgirl_goneglam6173]

@@luxurylife4166 exactly, same here! Plus I like having PTO, meanwhile everyone I know who is self-employed seems to work 20 hours a day 7 days a week. Nope lol

[@ohhleira]

I’m in complete shock - not because you have transitioned to a corporate job, but because you are changing the game and playing for YOU! Most content creators will say that they love their job creating, but the truth is, your mental health is so important and some people continue to fake it until they break…to the point they fall off the face of the earth. I am so happy for you and truly wish you the very best in the corporate world. I turn 28 on Wednesday and I definitely understand what you mean about 28 forcing you into your position! Thank you so much for sharing and I wish you the very best because you always deserve it! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@BiancaHudson]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Very well said!

[@Pinkberryblue23]

Congrats on your new job.

[@bre-ana9936]

I’m 27 and I completely get all of this! I’m glad you distinguished between content creation and influencing. Influencing can become draining because every facet of your life needs to be or is perceived to be marketable essentially. Creating content on your time when you feel inspired to do so for one seems more organic in my opinion and two isn’t as taxing to the creator. You had enough self awareness to know what works for you and *that* is the real power! Very happy for you!

[@juellagumbs]

This part of the vlog stuck out to me as well! Everybody wants to get a bag without understanding the work that goes into it. This also reminded me of when KZbin was more about content creating vs. influencing.

[@troithescholar]

A FINANCE GIRL!!!!! I’m so proud of you wifey!!!

[@jouelzy]

Congrats Ashley! So proud that you made the decision that works best for you! I hope your Saturn Return is kind to you and you continue living in your truth!

[@NaturallySunny]

I loved this. You can really tell how light you feel now. So proud of you ash & congrats on your new position girl!!👏🏽🤍🎉

[@blehblehblah07]

For someone who has watched you for years, I am SO proud of you!!! I wish you all the best on this new unlocked journey of life!

[@Lastdayone]

Congratulations on landing a Sr. Financial position Ashley!! I’m glad that you ultimately decided to do what’s best for you. My favs on KZbin all work. I’ve noticed their content is usually genuine and doesn’t give influencer. I think this will give you a nice balance. Even if you decide to return to KZbin, we’ll be right here💜✨

[@daniahmiller3336]

I LOVEEEE this for you. I turned 30 in March and one of the things I've been turning over in my mind is the concept of proportions. Sometimes we're misaligned not because we're necessarily doing the wrong things, but because the proportions are off. Learning what to do more or less of is a huge, huge deal, and as I've leaned into the more or the less, I'm finding that the things that no longer serve me are falling away. I'm so happy you've made a decision that's best for YOU and what YOU want in YOUR life.

[@TaraLivermore]

I had to screenshot this. You nailed how I've been feeling:)

[@sorennastewart]

We missed you 💓 glad to see you’re doing okay now. Your mental health is always a priority 😊

[@JadynnJone]

ahhhhh so excited for you! as a Spring '22 graduate with my corporate job under my belt and new to YT as a content creator, I think you showcasing the balance of work and entrepreneurship will allow me to relate to you even more. I can't wait to see what you have in store. love ya

[@amiras7945]

So happy for you!! I feel like you told us several years ago this full time was only temporary and so happy that you have decided to keep creating content for now ❤️ congrats and best wishes on this new leg of your journey

[@terralashay]

This is such a bittersweet moment but growth always is. I’m so utterly proud of you. We were in school at the same and graduated at the same and I’ve been watching you as you’ve hit all the milestones every single time with grace. The “groaning and complaining” was real. It was genuine. It was authentic. But THIS Ashley is already exuding so much love and peace and i love that for you! Forever a supporter 🫶🏾🤎🤍

[@OnlyClaudiaJulia]

Congratulations on your senior level position girl!! So proud of you for having the self awareness and knowing what you needed to do for you. Transition can be scary but it's needed. The end of one thing is always a beginning for something else. Cheers to everything you've done in the content space, I've been watching you for YEARS. Welcome to new beginning and letting new things enter your life ❤️ And you ain't never lied, 28 has been a journey and a shake up. Turning 29 in August and all I've been during 28 is uncomfortable & struggling. Definitely feel you!

[@LoveFinds]

This video is literally a sign I’m on the right path. I too am making a similar life transition wow! I literally made a resume yesterday after only working for myself post grad for yearrrsss.Thanks for taking us along. Love & light to you! Happiness looks good on you 💛

[@JasmynDestine]

So incredibly happy for you babe! Wishing you nothing but the very best! 🥰🎉

[@ahliyahmichelle]

SO happy for you Ashley 💖 creating when you feel like it and not having to worry about the analytical side of it will be so freeing. the influencer lane is so unstable and mentally taxing, you attach your worth to numbers and i definitely prefer the content creating side better. I know you’ll be a successful Corporate Baddie! 🔥

[@AshleyDevonna]

Ahliyah baby! Thank you so, so much gorgeous!! The influencers and creatives definitely UNDERSTAND, and like you said, the content that’s created for fun will be so much better! ✨

[@sax_25]

I find social media to be soul-sucking for a lot of people. I limit myself and I could only imagine what it’s like to do it for full time work. Definitely excited for you! There’s nothing wrong with a 9-5. I don’t know where the concept of it being terrible came from. Cheers to the fruits of your labor!

[@sincerelylatasha]

How amazing is it that you know yourself well enough to take time away when needed. Yes 28 was a year of pivoting for sure! Congrats on your new role, from a fellow corporate cutie!

[@PlatinumD]

I love this for you. So proud of you 💜

[@SultrySunflower]

Congratulations Ashley! I’ve always wondered if you would end back up in the corporate world. You are a great content creator but I followed along as you worked ever so hard for your degree and knew you weren’t going to just let it be a piece a paper. Hope you know I am happy for this new journey you are embarking on and will be rooting you on along the way! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@Annie-jt9km]

You were definitely missed! Prioritizing yourself is so important first and foremost! Whatever you put your mind to you will succeed in! ✨

[@thecollectiv3437]

I am 30 and I understood this on another level . I’ve just reached a level where peace mental health are much more important than anything else - nichelle

[@gurley0419]

CONGRATULATIONS on your new journey! I totally understand doing a pivot at the age of 28/29, I joined the military at that time 😜🙌🏾💯. It was the BEST decision for me, and it’s paid off in the long run. Although I am now an honorably discharged Veteran, the doors were WIDE OPEN for an amazing government career as a civilian! I wish you the best and know that you’ll do amazing things. Cause that’s what we do as ARIES ♈️🤌🏾👑🥂🍾😘!!

[@neeneeofficial_]

Congratulations my Aries twin. You an amazing woman! I understand exactly where you are comming from because I am 28 and I honestly feel the same way. The fact that you put your transition into words so effortlessly and understanding is the reason why I have always watch you. I will indeed embark on this journey with you. Thank YOU for inspiring

[@darlingitscici]

Welcome to “9-5” life. Glad you made the best decisions for you ❤️

[@fahimahkarriem2150]

Congratulations on your new journey. I pray you have an abundance of joy and success❤️

[@The.ellebelle]

Congratulations on finding what’s best for you! Side note: you are in the middle of your Saturn return. It can be a wild ride as you fully come into your own. Just know that you have all the answers you need and life will literally become what you make it. It takes time to make friends with the parts of you that you’ve been taught aren’t lovable or “good”. I send wishes for much success and speak peace, joy, and a firm foundation for you and all you do. 💕

[@thefashionceesta]

I am so proud of you. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from life as you know it and pivot. I hope that you are much happier as you embark on this new journey and I pray you always remember, you and your happiness come first. Wishing you the best. Congrats on such a huge accomplishment Soul Seesterrrr, you’re going to do great 💕

[@charlene570]

*screams* So so happy for you! It’s been a joy watching your journey on KZbin. Sometimes I forget how long I’ve been following people on KZbin until I sit down and think about it. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us and I wish you all the best. Also, I never minded a “drop-in” KZbinr; a new video always felt like a surprise treat. ☺️

[@ayekayshua]

I’m so happy for you I may cry! You absolutely deserve the best, and if you choose to share I cannot wait to see how amazing this journey treats you!

[@Siothedoll]

I'm so happy for you Ashley! I've been watching you since I was in highschool, now I'm in grad school. I watched your vlogs when I was younger and thought I always wanted to recreate that lifestyle. I'm so happy for you and your new role! You'll do amazing! 💞

[@TinaBlaque]

Ashley! I am so proud of you! CONGRATULATIONS! I remember bumping into you at the TWU library, and I had to know where you got your hair done. Needless to say, it was the best sew in I ever had. You were so sweet and kind, and I knew you would succeed at life! Stay beautiful, and stay working hard! All the best in your future career! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

[@Ivriyon]

Love you Ashley for being so transparent and Congrats!! There’s nothing wrong wanting to work a 9-5! I def understand wanting to pivot! ❤️

[@anewjourneywithbertie5290]

congrats girl i have been here since you were in college. I started watching you my freshman year and now I have graduated and am starting my MBA next week. i really think it is weird that people demonize corporate jobs like how many people can be influencers and entrepreneurs like. there are phases and this is the phase you are in. it might change tomorrow but enjoy this phase now. love the content and congrats.

[@devtinsley4636]

Congratulations on your new endeavor! You look so refreshed and as if the pressure/stress has been removed from your life. You got this! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@chrisbrownfanonly101]

CONGRATULATIONS BABE!!! I’m so happy to see you back and excited for this next chapter. You deserve it 💕

[@AccordingToBrii]

I’m so excited for you! When you left your first corporate job, I just always felt that you’d be back! I can’t wait to see some Corporate Cutie slay! Thank you for sharing your new journey and for being candid and for following your own path! 💛

[@ceecee366]

Congratulations Ashley! You remind me so much of the corporate type. I know you will be serving looks for days! I wish you all the best on this new chapter in your life. #beautynbrains ✨💕

[@mimose5747]

“Corporate cutie” looks great on you! We already know you’ll do well…take care of you🥰😊

[@trulyytrishh]

Awhh Ashley I’m so grateful to have experienced a glimpse of your life with you. I’ve been subscribed since you graduated TWU and I’ve seen your growth from moving in with your dad and still vloggin your content in your room, to getting your first place, your first car, your tatas, etc. I’m so honored to embark on your new journey as a corporate cutie! I cant wait for the looks, the work glam, the coffee shop runs, etc. Congratulations Hunn on your new job and i wish you nothing but love, peace, laughter and prosperity Cheers to Change! ✨🥂

[@RollaMarie]

I’m so happy for you and am praying for your continued growth and abundance in this new chapter of your life! 💕

[@j.dp.85]

I’ve been wondering about you. I am glad to see that you are alive and well. It is definitely a struggle when you’re not there mentally. I wish you well with your new career and delighted to see what this new journey brings you!!!

[@brandyelisea]

this is simply beautiful to see & I love how peace & joy looks on you & for you 🤍

[@khadyajah]

[@4LADYSWEET]

I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THE LOOKBOOKS FOR CORPORATE WORK OUTFITS!!! 👗👠👛💼

[@ArielleFrye]

So proud of you! I’m a corporate cutie here in Dallas as well and wouldn’t change it for the world. I know you’ll kill it in your new role and in this new chapter. So happy for you!

[@NadiaZoe1111]

I went to check on your channel yesterday. I'm so happy to hear that your doing well. Congrats on your corporate job. Way to go Ashley!

[@dtjisdivine]

I thought about you the other day and was wondering if everything was okay. I am so glad you are well and are living the life you desire. May God continue to bless you along the way. ✨

[@beingreezy]

I’m so happy for you! Your transparency is always valued and that’s what I appreciate about you. You bring balance to the batch of KZbinrs I watch with your mindset alone in which I always look forward to hearing.. depression is a tough battle and you have been whooping ass (anything you touch turns golden) we are here for the ride and am happy to hear that you will still create freely 🤍 🥂 to you and your new journey

[@AshleyChiLLi]

Ashley - I’ve loved your content since the Ashley D Beauty days. I’m so happy for you becoming a corporate cutie. I am excited to follow your new journey and I’m looking forward to content that’s just coming from your heart without pressure about numbers/views. All the best!

[@toldbyashley]

Ash. i absolutely LOVE this for you. changing the narrative of your life based on YOUR wants/needs and not anyone else’s. this makes me so happy. congratulations on everything & i wish you well in your new endeavors 💗

[@KimoraMyliaa]

Girl I just clicked off the last video I was watching so QUICK. Everybody hushhhhh. My girl just posted😍

[@mykalbriana]

You’ve definitely been missed! I’m also 28 so I completely understand where you’re coming from. Congratulations on your new journey!!

[@creativemelanin]

Love this!! I'm actually on the other side. Worked corporate and now want to work for myself! The point is, doing what you are feeling is best! This confirmed so much for me! Ironically, I've been seeing a lot of people saying they want to go back to a 9-5 after working for themselves for so long! Best of Luck!

[@Shay-33]

Going back to school for accounting.. been hustling for the last 7-8 yrs for myself! I’m nervous because it’s new to me ..but I’m ready to get this degree & move on from hustling ! Thank u for this video❤️ #CONGRATULATIONS

[@grantwallace2640]

As a A-lister for yeaaaars. I’ve been watching you since high school. So happy you turned your own page and started a new chapter! Showing all the girls that you can pivot and choose what’s best for you ALWAYS even if it doesn’t look pretty 🙌🏾

[@badimah3458]

Awww Ashley so happy to have you back 🥹 I’m currently 23 going on 24 but I’ve been out of Uni for 3 years now without a job in my career and my plan to start content creation halted. I kinda feel like I totally relate to what you’re saying. Rn I feel like I’m being forced into alignment and it’s whooping my ass trying to find my place in the world Congratulations on your new role 🥳🎉🍾 Myself hopes to be a Corporate cutie soon too

[@Shenelly67]

This made me emotional cause so many people think you can't be happy in a career and you can. There are other was to be successful and happy. Happy for you.

[@pureblacbeauty]

ASHLEY JUST GIVE ME LIFE. SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY I COULD WATCH HER ALL DAY LONG. HAVE SO MANY VLOGS TO CATCH UP ON. SO EXCITED TO WATCH HER NEW JOURNEY. 💕💕💕

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

We've missed you and, of course, respect that you needed your time, girl! SO HAPPY for your new chapter and praying for you!

[@PatrishaLuxe]

Wow Ashley I am so proud of you! You deserve this. I know you’re going to crush your new role ❤️

[@TaraLivermore]

I love this for you, congratulations. I am also on a break and I felt like your video was another confirmation for me. I told my friend the other day, I don't want to be an influencer, I just wanted to be a content creator. Influencing can be so time consuming. Alot of people dont realize it can rob you of your time just like any other job, no matter how glamorous it appears to be.

[@kamikea1]

I love this, you are such a vibe! I look forward to your continued growth, and your vids about the corporate world 🥰😁

[@SewPaMc]

I'm glad that you're doing well!! I got worried when I realized you weren't posting. Congratulations on the new career move! ❤❤

[@Mackenziepeyton]

Congratulations!! So happy for you. Doing what’s best for YOU is the most important thing!❤️

[@aundrea4816]

No matter the space… you, Ashley, are necessary! You’re packed with so much value & I know this from watching you for years. I appreciate all of what you have offered on this platform. I can literally see you excelling in the corporate world. To my fellow Dallas/Ft Worth native ,🥂 GODSPEED!!!

[@EricaAndrea]

People always ask me if I want to work full time as a creator and I prefer to only do it part time because I like the flexibility of not having to post if I don’t want to. My mental state fluctuates and I can’t commit to recording when I don’t feel good. I totally get it! ❤️ this new journey is going to be so good to you

[@quinnieb.9243]

Hey girl! Welcome back! I'm glad you took some time for yourself and reflected on what you really need. And CONGRATULATIONS on the new role!

[@Luvlybria]

CONGRATULATIONS 🍾! So proud of you! The boss woman who works a 9-5 is goals for so many ! Can’t wait to see you blossom more. You’re beautiful & we support you!

[@AyeeNicole]

You have to do what’s best for you! Im glad you’re happy & congratulations! You said you were sensing a major shift some months back and here you are, and of course we’ll be here cheering you on!

[@chantillyakachantillytv]

[@Amberrechelle]

Just retired from teaching ! You're right about 28 being the year of alignment . Transitioning is scary but I'm so proud that I'm making this move . Proud of you chick

[@lakieshaxo]

First off: Glad that you are well! 🤗 Definitely was missing you but I understand that everyone needs a break. Secondly: CONGRATULATIONS!! 💐 Starting something new is always exciting. Best wishes to you on your journey ❤️

[@BiancaHudson]

Extremely happy for this new chapter in your life! Love you corporate cutie🥰😘🤎

[@ashleyshonte.]

I’m so glad to hear that you are doing well. Congratulations on the transition!!!

[@NATSCOTT]

Girlies you can be a Corporate baddie and a Content Creator. Ashley is proof. Congrats on the new path ✨

[@aswans311]

I'm just hoping for OOTD Corporate looks 😍💕🙏

[@KarlaC233]

If it's 1 think that I have come to realize about this young lady is her maturity and her ability to critically analyze any situation; it's unmatched. She takes her time and makes decisions & statements and that is admirable. Congrats to you Ashley and how sophisticated are you gonna look in the corporate world!!!!! Jeez!!!!!! Love & Light girlie , you got your island supporters🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@itsamberkidd]

Congrats on landing the corporate position!! It’s an amazing accomplishment 🍾🍾😘😘 So happy to see you on my screen again and look forward to watching you grow even more! 💕💕

[@DonnaGinreallife]

Heyyy Ashley girl! Nice to see you back & better. Loving this style of content from you. I wish you all the best in your new career too girl!

[@hannaholivia]

Good for you Ashley! So proud of you 💕

[@AlwaysAmeera]

Omgggggg! Congratulations Ashley! So happy to see you happy! You have been doing this work for so long it has to be refreshing to reenter the corporate space! So excited for you! You are going to love it ❤️

[@NeoMagnolia]

Congratulations Ashley!!! I’m turning 28 on the 15th of July 2022 and I definitely understand what you’re talking about! I’ve built a successful corporate career for myself and I’m in a more senior position and I find myself wondering - WHATS NEXT?! 🥹🥹🥹 but I trust that God will guide me and I’ll continue finding myself in the best spaces and environment where I can continue to grow and improve. I’m so happy you’re back in corporate! I wish you all the best! You’re amazing and I’ve been following since we were both in uni! I feel like I’m doing life alongside you 😀❤️

[@_theechriswilliams]

Congratulations Ashley!! I loved your content always but so happy to see you doing what’s best for YOU. I feel like a lot people are in that season and your happiness is priority!!! Also, this is what makes you YOU. I’m so looking forward to what you’ll share with us in the future!!!! You go girl!🎉

[@Ahannaa]

That pluto return Don't play!! Mine return next year, and I'm already feeling it! They say you feel it the year before it returns as well. It will rip your life apart, and you have no choice but to rebuild it right. A lot of my roads were being blocked, and I had no choice but to go the passive income route. I'm a life path 8, and I was so out of alignment looking for employment at jobs that were not in my path. Girl, I got my boots laced tight because next year will be a hell of a year, but I'm ready 💪🏽❤️

[@KayGee_yt]

I don't know if this is a topic you care to talk about but I would LOVE to hear how you finessed your KZbin resume into a senior finance position. I'm trying to make a slight career pivot and it's difficult! Feel like I've been applying for years and doing more research on what I could change. But more importantly, so happy to see you back! I've just been hoping you've been doing will and checking in on twitter when I can. I've missed your vlogs, but am quite open to whatever this channel becomes as you create what you like instead of what you need to to pay the bills. Love you! (Those nails are so cute I will be purchasing!!!)

[@theeentrepreneher8182]

I love that you are so relatable and transparent on your journey. We are all on this journey figuring out what best for us. You content is always refreshing

[@corrinajohnson4495]

I've missed your content so much! I'm so happy you chose YOU! CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY ❤️

[@Stilettobiz]

It’s fine to be in corporate job, they are offering those who are interested their worth, so doing both is a great idea and it not only pivots your life, but also gives you space to grow. I’m so proud of you Ashley D. and congratulations 💐❤️🙏🏽

[@naturalspice8479]

Congrats Ashley! Wishing you all the best as you embark on your new journey. ❤

[@TheCHYNAG]

The feminine energy & confidence came through. I can feel the self worth 💕 congratulations

[@SimplyNee]

It’s so great seeing you again! This video is so beautifully executed. Congratulations on moving on to the corporate world, you honestly remind me of a business woman. Just bad and bossy and I’m loving it!

This makes my heart smile! So happy for you Ashley. Congratulations on your need role🙏🏾

[@DyDyxoxo]

Love everything about this video 🤎 mental health is so important… congrats on your new job, and looking forward to see you grow!

[@kangoocutee1198]

I personally will continue to support and look forward to seeing your journey on this new path, really the path that was always laid out for you. Whatever you choose to share I’m here for it. 🤗🤍

[@MintNHoney]

This vlog was recommended to me a while back and I'm just getting around to watching. This is the first vlog I've ever seen from your channel and I think it was a nice introduction! I'm loving the vibes so far.
