A theme, me too! Started my channel here like 2 weeks ago because I also lost my job. I’m sorry you lost yours, but know there’s better things to come! I’m glad you seem in great spirits!

[@beyouciarashanice]

[@alexiseldredge]

i'm sorry to hear about your job! there are definitely better things to come for both of us, best of luck with your channel!

[@jessssalemme]

@@alexiseldredge thanks babe!

[@HonJazzz]

I lost my job in tech recently… thanks for sharing your story. It’s important to stay positive, enjoy some freedom, and work towards actionable goals. Best of luck out there!

[@EmilyCanham]

it's crazy how things seem to fall into place when we let them! so excited to see what this year brings you, Alexis!

[@alexiseldredge]

this!! thank you so much ❤️

[@jeannelle_]

So happy that you're happy. Honestly, that's the biggest goal for everyone. Everyone deserves happiness and if you're not happy where you're at, it's important to take a step back and rethink, plan, and do whatever you got to do to take a step to be happy again.

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! i totally agree with that, it is so easy to get stuck in a routine or lifestyle that you aren't content with- this definitely was a blessing in disguise!

[@paulacacciola823]

When one door closes, another opens! This was meant to be! I hope you got a good severance package that helps you with the transition. I'll keep watching and supporting 🥰

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! thank you for watching!

[@ShauninParadise]

My wife lost her job in 2018 and we moved to Mexico from nyc and life has never been better. Also, when you’re at dance I can see my old therapist offices from the window lol😂

[@ItsStyleTheory]

I’m really excited to follow along for this new chapter of your life and I’m also just happy for you!! ✨ It’s already added a fun new dynamic to your vlogs :)

[@GloriasYoutube]

i love your positivity 🫶🫶 rooting for you as you pursue these creative passions!!

[@kathleenverlin1691]

Ahhhh been there 2008. It’s pretty crushing but you are embracing it the right way -- an open door and a new adventure. You have great life skills. One reason you may be extra tired is the silent stress on the lay-off. It takes a toll so get extra rest !

[@alexiseldredge]

yes, to new adventures! i am trying to get a little extra rest these days, although i am happy with the outcome, it has been strange to not work a job i had for over 2 years!

[@Velkairiwyth]

Been laid off twice. Once in the run up to 2008 crash, and in 2015 when the startup I was working for lost its main investor. Every time it took me out my comfort zone and pushed me and proved both times to lead to great things. It can be scary, glad your relaxed, the KZbins can support... never watched a blog video like this before... it was chill and nice (and NYC, yey) Keep at it :)

[@dreamywindowviewss]

Love the added touch of the jazz in the beginning

[@kelleyklein]

I am loving your content. You are super authentic and I love that. The New York City backdrop doesn't hurt, either. You're crushing it and I'm excited to see what kind of content you produce this year.

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much! happy you are here!

[@JennaBrown]

Aww Alexis! Im so excited for this chapter of your life! Everything will work out!! 🥰🥰

[@itsthequeenfatima]

Rooting for your success in 2023! Your path is inspiring!

[@slawbrina]

So get this - I also lost my job at the end of 2022 AND have a similar attitude (and privilege) to use it as an opportunity to pursue other creative endeavors and try new things and so I love this for you and for me!!!

[@PamelaNicole]

I'm excited to see what the future has in store with you!

[@_bebeboudeur_]

I love watching your vlogs! I struggle with my mental health because I don't have a daily routine so that helps to have an idea of what I could be doing somehow. Also, love seeing your videos of classes and auditions, it inspires me as I would like to do musicals one day as well !

[@UltiMaker2]

This is some quality content. This is why KZbin chose you as "Creator on the Rise"! (New York is very crowded though. I've never been there but I know it's very big)

[@mbsagard]

I freakin' love that you show us your performance arts stuff!! I'm also an actor but moved away from "live action" to do voice acting, but I still love theatre peeps! So I love watching your day to day as a different type of performer than me! You also make me miss dance classes SO MUCH! omg x'D

[@maryantonishak400]

I love your happy and positive attitude. Really enjoyed this vlog.

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you ❤️

[@BrielleJuliet]

Omg alexis. I totally think this is a blessing in disguise. I’m so excited for you to now be able to put more time into ur passions ❤ so excited for you I knowww you’re gonna continue to grow so so much

[@alexiseldredge]

[@teamcrantz]

I sooo love natural light and our home is so dark. Things just always work out for the best don't they? It's a great opportunity. I'm so happy for you.🥰

[@thebluekangaroo8091]

[@alexiseldredge]

[@makaila6923]

[@wrighty321go]

Loved this vlog was the perfect thing to watch after a chaotic day, it didn't seem that all over the place but then my life is at the moment so my ability to judge chaos is probably off. I'm glad this feels like the start of a new chapter for you

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! i think it is the start of a new chapter as well!

[@AngelaMaryMagick13]

ALEXIS! What a fabulous video ❤ so much dance! Ah, so proud of youuu 🥹 hello 2023🎉

[@jbernere]

I am so excited for you! I went through this when the pandemic started and I lost my job. I’ve gone back to school and haven’t looked back. Here’s to pursuing your dreams!!! Thanks for sharing your journey!!!

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️

[@rebeccacartier153]

Haha the way Emily perked up when you said margaritas 😂

[@TessBarclay]

Love your content so much!

[@peggys1439]

Alexis - you've got this! Yes, new chapter!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@socialneuro]

Just discovered your channel, and I'm immediately hooked by the way you talk to the camera. I'm now a subscriber! :)

[@laurenvannucci3193]

I subscribed to you because of your kitty video. I just adopted a 1 year old kitty too and he’s helped my anxiety and depression SO MUCH.

[@samsan6360]

I was laid off 2 weeks ago (Mortgage industry) but I look at it as a blessing in disguises since I was so unhappy in that job and like you was debating quitting. I am happy for both of us to pursue our passions in this newfound freedom.

[@imjadeemily]

Absolutely loving your content ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@ashlyn-marie]

Happy Tuesday! Glad things are going well, even with such a big life change!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@annaspeaks373]

I feel you♥️ Now I am in a condition when I need to think about lots of things. I started to learn English and I started to post videos here in English which is quite difficult for me but really helps to clear my mind and figure out what I need for future.

[@alexiseldredge]

that is awesome! best of luck with your videos and channel!

[@lindseyflax941]

im sorry alexis sending good things your way !!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@gavmurray7398]

losing your job just made your vlogs way more interesting to watch! congratulations!

[@brookeferrara]

Just found your channel & you’re so inspiring 💕

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

Here’s to making this year work!!!!!

[@DestinyDiamond]

Job loss is tough. Hoping good things come your way 💖

[@suelyons531]

You are so busy I don't even know how you did a 9-5 job! Thank goodness you have friends and other interests and career aspirations. I was laid off once. It was weird for a couple of months but it turned out to be for the best in the end. Love your videos!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! ❤️ sometimes i don't know how i did it either 😂 i am excited to see what's to come!

[@Francebound2024]

Loving 🥰 your apartment!

[@tanyamassey9438]

Enjoyed watching your jazz performance. Your cat is adorable. Love your apartment.

[@sheenalarson1283]

so excited for you to focus on your creativity these next few months!! would you ever possibly do a video on what auditioning looks like for you? what kind of shows do you audition for - is it dancing or acting or both? I'd love to know more if you'd share with us :)

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! i will do a video like that for one of my upcoming auditions!

[@NailsbyMeesh]

I think this job loss might be a big blessing in disguise ❤ so excited for this new adventure for you.

[@teresaliebhaber2742]

Wow, what a creative week . You always amaze me. Keep up the great vlogs.

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you for watching!

[@kellyboudreau]

Hi Alexis! Just found your videos through your growing audience videos. I am also in theatre in Canada (stage manager), and starting up my own channel because I’m moving to England this year. A little scary turning down work here, but it’s been on my mind for years. Hoping I can build a channel that also supplements my income so I’m not in an expensive city with no income. Your channel is inspiring me, and your video when you first got monetized is inspiring and also preparing me. Thank you!

[@Seolhwaneul]

I haven't even watched the video yet but sending love your way! If you're happy about losing it or not, we support you either way!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! it is definitely all for the best!

[@megsmatagges378]

This just came up on my suggested (after no searches of this) and I lost my job yesterday. Really feels like it was a sign!

[@wrestlingwithwords]

I know you said not to say sorry about the job, but sorry about the job! And, thank you for the videos-I found your first videos when you were talking about your channels growth and what not. They have helped so much with the launch of my own channel (which I finally pulled the trigger on). Also, yeah… where is our east coast snow!?!

[@alexiseldredge]

congrats on starting your channel! and yes, patiently waiting for snow 😭

[@pattikendall3848]

You are awsome!! things will be where they are supposed to be in the end. you are so talented in all things you do!! you are young and so dull of energy!! keep up your great spirt and you will go far,,,,

[@richardottley4611]

Lol no worries.. its suppose to snow this week of January 25th 2023 🤣🤣 it's funny you mentioned it because I was thinking about that like 3 days ago.. that nyc hasn't had real snow since last year

[@JenniferCooperbowlfull]

Congrats on new beginnings! I love watching your vlogs. Can I ask what editing software you use?

[@SoraMTeichman]

Love the background music you choose, especially the NY broadway show style stuff (if you get what I'm saying)

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! i love using jazz and big band music in my vlogs, it always seems right😅

[@DariaKropop]

I hope everything will work out for you ! You inspire me so much ! Also I miss Trader Joe's sooo so much :(

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@shoretoshorehome2138]

Things happen for a reason! You can now focus on your passion for dancing and acting. You are an amazing performer, and you are going to have amazing opportunities to fulfill your dreams ✨️

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! that is my mindset right now! ❤️

[@ROSADIANA-DSB]

Good luck keep posting🎉🎉🎉

[@JannyKreminska]

Bennet being the chaotic main character for the first part of the video 😅. But honestly, I'm happy for you. It's something you wanted and now you have the "push" to start, that's great!

[@alexiseldredge]

he is always the main character 😂 and thank you!

[@mycomplicatedlife2488]

Hello from upstate! Want some of our snow? 😂 But I totally get what you mean. It’s a freaky winter.

[@christinelilly1340]

Enjoying watching the dance clips!! When do we get to hear you sing???

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! and maybe soon 👀

[@rebeccacartier153]

Did you ever link your desk chair? It looks so comfy. Sorry to hear about your job, hope you got a good severance package. I’m glad you got this opportunity to put your energies into something more creative and what you enjoy doing.

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! if you click on the shop my furniture link in my description it is listed under apartment furniture! and thank you!

[@richardottley4611]

I'm starting to watch now.. to be honest, when I saw the title of this video.. I felt very sad.. but let's see where this video goes 😄

[@alexiseldredge]

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Good Video ❤

[@earthbound9347]

New subscriber here! Love your videos. I especially love how you make us feel like your friend. 💌 Q: in the beginning of your videos, you use an edit while showing your montage. Looks like a retro / vintage filter. How do you do that?🤍

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!! i edit on final cut and apply the film grain, prism, HDR and aged film filters!

[@cindydean1840]

Oh no!

[@alexiseldredge]

it is all working out for the best!

[@shaistaali9802]

[@jjforshort]

Hey I am new to your channel! Could you please share the name of the neighbourhood you live in???

[@cxnoelle_1220]

do companies give a severance when they lay people off?

[@geor4569]

♥️

[@emelyandtheuke]

I know you say you’re happy about the job loss so its not that, but idk you seem a little down and blue in this vlog. maybe it’s just the gloom thats been in nyc lately ❤️‍🩹 hopefully you find some spark again. its supposed to be sunny this week so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!! gob knows we all need some vitamin d right now

[@alexiseldredge]

i was a little stressed about getting everything done at the beginning of the week, so that might have been it 😅 also i agree i need more sunlight, the winter can get me down easily!
