Hi, can you do an apt tour and link where you got everything? I love the curtains in your sons' room and the barstools. If you've done this video can you provide the link? Thanks

[@shanekae]

I do not have a furnished apartment tour yet. I still working on my living room and master bedroom. I do, however, have an Amazon store front. Here it is. www.amazon.com/shop/shanekae?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_aipsfshanekae_R69C3YQ280DBCSCTGRJZ

[@kathleenharris8824]

I completely understand leaving teaching. My Sunday panic turned into Monday because of Labor Day Weekend. I have been teaching for many years. It’s true that all day we put all of our energy into kids. I decided this year to do more self care like manicures and massages. That is helping.

[@quit2quilt525]

Glad you made a career decision that’s best for you and your family! My cousin taught elementary school for 13 years and she left Oct 2022 for a peace of mind. She tried to complete the school year but she just couldn’t take it anymore. May God bless you both on your new journey. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@shanekae]

It truly took a toll. I left December 2022 and it was the best decision ever. No regrets. Thanks for watching 👑

[@drawpaintwithjariegray]

Thank you so much for this Vlog! Your vlogs are so realistic and relatable. Thank you for telling your story on why you changed your career. I am an adjunct professor that teach art. I love teaching, but like you, it is draining, and I want to unplug from my institutions so I can get my time back. And yes, we need money to live, but it is not about the money at this point. My health, mental health, and time is more important. I’m also in the process of a career change, and planning my journey with God throughout this process. So, once again, thank so much for your story, it was so inspiring.😊

[@shanekae]

Thanks girl; I appreciate you. Teaching was rewarding for me for a long time until it wasn’t. I keep going as long as I could for them babies but I had to choose me. I’m now walking in my God given authority and though it’s not perfect it feels right! 💕👑🙏🏽Thanks so much for watching and engaging with my content.

[@honeythecreative]

Awe poor baby was not feeling going to school today but on pickup what a change it made. The school system loosing a lot of good teachers and it also maybe because the students they getting now might require a lot more counseling with their lessons and other jobs giving the option to work from home. I have never been inside a Trader Joe's because the vibe make me think I would be spending more money shopping there. I would be so scared to put a candle near my bath because the bubble bath maybe flamable, with my luck. It was great seeing more of your family and I really like what you guys have done in your new home. I am not really a Vlog person but put this on the TV while I did stuff around the house. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now.

[@shanekae]

Thanks Denise. I appreciate your support as usual. You a real one for letting the vlog play in the background 👏🏾 Trader Joe’s is actually less expensive than Publix and Kroger which is where I normally shop. They have quality items with wholesome ingredients. I look at it more as a speciality shop than a place to get all my groceries. You should definitely give them a try. If all else fails grab some flowers and wine.

[@deniseoates7147]

@@shanekae I might just do that minus the wine, thanks for the suggestion, it would be my first time buying myself fllowers.

You are so blessed to have your husband and child. I am unhappy with my career but I know the bigger issue is the lack of love, happiness and real connection in the other areas of my life. If I had love and happiness in my life, work would just be work. But because I am miserable and unfulfilled work just becomes an even bigger soul sucker for me. Hopefully I figure it out one day. Happy for you that you are following your heart & found something new.

[@shanekae]

I’m sorry to hear this Maiya, I can relate. Finding my new identity/purpose has been tough but my family has made the transition easier. That and constant prayer and fasting. The struggle prior to the transition was REAL. My depression and anxiety was at an all time high. Continue to go inward and through self discovery, you will attract who/what God has for you. I’m praying for your strength sis cause I KNOW, life be lifing.
