You were a role model for me years ago because of your career. I wanted to be a better version of myself but I needed someone to look up to. I couldn't quite get the outfits right or my confidence. Now I have been working as a part of my job in accounts payable for a few years now! I am so happy I finally worked up to this point and I use your videos to help with so many aspects of my career, thanks for sharing your talents! It really helped me take that first big step.

[@kaydanpascual1809]

Hey Stephie, you're not alone. I have been through that same process where I was naive and I just wanted to add sprinkles on top of my previous and make it brighter. Over the years as well, I started to feel down and never really understood why? I totally understand crying is the greatest cure. I did the same as well because for me, I took the relationship seriously where I wanted to get engaged to my Ex not realizing she was already in a relationship at that time. It took me a while to recover and I know you will recover and you will come out stronger than ever in 2022. I'm sorry about everything that happened to you. GOD is watching you and he sees that you are a good person. GOD will guide and protect and just let you see the Sun 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@StellaHa16]

During the last year, I learnt that I'm actually stronger than I thought I was through experiences and situations that took place. But I'm also still learning to be more confident in myself and my abilities at work although my managers and partners have been content with my quality of work. & Happy early new year! Something I believe is that everything happens for a reason, so stay strong and I wish you all the best during 2022!!

[@daysofourlives8966]

Glad to see you are doing well! Happy holidays❤️

[@Nuggett-irl]

Thanks so much for sharing your healing journey with us 💕💕 I’m in the same boat, trying to find myself before even thinking about another relationship.

[@ALXSSA]

Wow. I got a random notification for this vlog and I am in shock. I have been going through a lot of hard times and changes in my life, including running away from YT and the accounting YT space I loved so so much. I haven't been keeping up, haven't watched for like a year and this made me so emotional because I realized how much I've missed and now long I've ran away from this space that I missed so much from you and others when I used to watch religiously and be so inspired. I had no idea so much has changed in your life and I'm really sad I missed it. 😞 I am sad that you are sad and going through so much 😞 but you will get through it and I know you will and I agree with what you said about finding someone who will simply treat you well, we aren't asking for a Mr. Perfect, just a Mr. Yes. Anyway, I have to binge watch to get caught up on everything I've missed and I hope each day gets better for you Stephie!

[@tarasz6288]

Giiiirrrrlll. The 2021 burnout is real! Take care of you.

[@As4u999]

Hi Stephie, this year I learned and have continued to learn how to be confident in my quality of work and also how to be manage my work while mentoring interns and staff.

[@lydias2989]

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You're strong and you'll get through it, and after it's passed you will look back and be glad that it happened. I hope you get to take some much needed time off to reset. Take care of you first. ❤

[@Tiff.texas1]

This year I would say I learned to accept what was and try to embrace what is. I’m trying to pick up the good pieces of myself I lost along the way. While being open to continuing to evolve. I lost my father unexpectedly to cancer that we didn’t know he had. I was his medical poa and had to make decisions I will never forget, he was only 54. Im 32 and I feel so alone. I enjoy watching you bc you carry yourself so well. Your professionalism and integrity is inspiring and motivating. While our lives are very different (I’m a single mom, bookkeeper) what I learn from your videos I carry with me in my real life so thank you for being you!

[@FRANCESCA01234]

You will find the right person, sweetheart. You are a wonderful human being and you deserve the world. 💐

[@delovelyday430]

your the sweetest ever I'm glad I found your channel🥰

[@tarasz6288]

I loooove bucees!!!!!! I go every time i go to tx. They used to give out lots of the bags but this last time i asked for extra bags and they said no! I love to use them for my lunch bags.

[@jenh9426]

while you are working your butt off, be sure to take care of yourself... exercise, eat well, (water!) sleep...as while yes, experiences outside your comfort zone are good...don't burn yourself out trying to do it all...as fast growth/PE owned companies can be meat grinders and easy to burn yourself out and then find yourself out the door due to "budget cuts". might just be my company, so im giving you the same advice i am trying to take. and i'm someone who goes over the secret santa budget, but I enjoy giving to people, esp something they will enjoy/appreciate. a divorce support group might be helpful, esp during holidays...and therapy! talking to someone might be helpful...and not a sign that you can't handle what life brings...it's a sign that you need some different tools...and that's ok...

The chronicles of Stephie will continue.

[@agustinatan6081]

You are ALWAYS admirable since you were born like Juicy! And you have been very talented even singing up on the stage with a great voice. You excelled from others when you didn't go to high school but you just challenged the test, passed it and straight through college. Not a whole lot of young ones do that.

[@Jaanechan]

Hey Stephie. Happy New Year!

[@llnut4775]

I wish I could give you a big hug! Have faith, I have been there. Things will get better, I know words won’t make it better.

[@1aespa2]

Your couch looks sooooo comfortable😍 And is that a table that can go over your couch too?! I need!! Thank you for all that you share stephie

[@leezeesoo]

Missed merry christmas greetings but Happy new year! Love from one of ur supportive friends 🤗

[@positive_vibes_2427]

For me personally, the separation from others is tough for me...especially as an extrovert. I can see this being an issue for me for my first busy season coming up.

[@WangStacy]

I was single for many years before I met my partner, studying abroad alone away from my family. I went to a religious university and everybody there got married while at school so I felt lots of peer pressure. I had been in mini relationships, then got broken up with and ghosted several times. Those experiences destroyed my self-esteem. I became border-line anorexic for a while. I blamed myself for everything I went thru. I lost my innocence/naiveness, ability to trust/be vulnerable and told myself that I'd never date ever again. Until I met my hubby. Of course I wish my love life could have been easier, but I am very happy now. Most of us will have to learn some tough lessons at some point in life, just the timing is different for each of us.

[@johnwheeler3805]

Love your channel

[@ctatang]

☹️ I hope you can make some time to workout. I promise you will feel better!! You got this and you are a strong person. 💪❤️

[@yueyunahyang8753]

Maybe every girl may experience this, but it’s OK. Life will be better in the future. We are here to support you. It will passed, time will solve every problem.

[@sabaideeworld]

hang in there, life can be taxing

[@threadhoney9445]

How tall are you ?

[@NeilBaylard]

You’ll get over this it will happen. I would wait 1 year before any other relationships. Get to know yourself treat yourself it sounds like you have been taking care of others before yourself. Please keep coming out with videos I enjoy them your awesome!

[@oldhickory4686]

You are probably still in the "grief stage" of your divorce. How do you get out of it? Time...I know you have aspects in your life that make you happy, but to be honest, they all can't heal the soul. I'm very familiar with Filipino culture, and I believe the catholic religion is a false and evil path. I'm not sure if you've been exposed to that and it turned you off to faith? A relationship with Jesus Christ is a very real life changing experience. I believe if you seek Him and truth, you will find what you are looking for. I think if you get into a relationship now, you will end up attracting the wrong type of men. A woman of faith with a solid foundation will attract the right kind of men. Matthew 11:28-30 KJV 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

[@Actavella]

Truth!!

[@d.f.6662]

Watch out for women with a lot of cats. Steph. you are good to go, you have a dog and I’ve never seen you with a bunch of cats running all over the background in any of your vids. I have experienced many women who try to “have a serious relationship” but after observing various women with cats -it’s definitely a big red flag. You are good to go💯
