I strongly dislike when people say that dentists aren’t doctors. Yes, they are doctors, they are oral doctors.

[@Roxie709]

Exactly! Dentists are Dr.s, Chiropractor’s are Dr.s, Professors can be even be Dr.s. Just because people are Dr.s doesn’t always mean they are medical Dr.s. 💕

I can relate to this, currently I’m stuck in the “nothing really matters” mode because I had attached so much worth to possessions. I know it will be hard to make this a new normal and to find a healthy balance but watching this is reassuring because if on your scale you are finding balance, then how could I not?

[@fkg902]

This is so relatable! I was always "rewarding" myself OR I had a rough day so I needed to "treat myself" and like you mentioned, was just super impulsive. It all boiled down to my mental health and once I received the right diagnosis this year and started getting treatment everything changed. I love how relatable you can be ! Thanks for this video

[@marynorton6068]

Well done for realising you have a problem and doing something about it. I have my own shopping demons. I found that practicing gratitude helps, but when you couple that with being genuinely happy for other people, recognising that what they (appear to) have does not take away from you in any way. For me, that was the key to contentment.

[@KRISTINAV_xo]

girl, completely honestly, i started checking out from your channel about a year ago because it was "pick me" vibes.. but THIS reeled me back in. be genuine, be you, im here for it. and alllll the respect in the world to you for owning your shit.

[@designerdiva423]

My dad passed away in may too I’ve been spending so much since then

[@meghannicole1474]

As a fellow Christian, I think that realization during the shopping spree was a sign from God that the impulsive spending had to be gone in order for you to not only be happier, but to help show you that life is not about materialistic things. You have truly grown up from who you used to be! ❤️

[@itsjorgeroblox1779]

[@xoannalee]

Nothing can buy good health or peace and I think that’s the ultimate happiness. I think you realized that… that is what you had been searching for and it’s not in a luxury mall, it’s at home with your loved ones which you are blessed to have.

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

This is what I have came to realise as I have gotten older that happiness, content cannot be bought. Just filling a void. Now I treat myself to what I need feel so much more satisfied. Life is about home - that cosy, warm feeling - and loved ones! 💫🧡🎥
