Why I changed my mind on luxury

[@kuramacabre]

I was an OG hater of yours lmao. I found troublesome the slight male gaze embedded in you previous videos, I still dislike when elegance is approached from the "nail a husband" point of view. But I stayed around for the general recommendations and realized you were not the stuck up b1tch that I thought at first. You are down to earth, transparent and open about your journey and THAT earned you this follower's respect. I agree with the rest, you have warmed up and despite you saying you might not be as charismatic, that genuineness does draw people towards you. I've learned valuable lessons from you and for that I'm grateful. I may still be broke lol but I see how I've levelled up in mental health, self esteem, confidence, relationships/bonds, work, dresscode, manners and networking from MY own personality as an introvert (tip for others: you don't have to change your introversion, autenticity will make better things for you regarding to networking). So thank you, Anna, and best wishes. 💚✨

Anna, I have been following you from the "Jet set babe" days. What has happened to you is maturity. Once we obtain relationships, home, wardrobe etc. we enjoy and serve us, we recognize that the little things are the big things. Consumerism is a trap that causes financial insecurity and unhappiness. Intentional living based on a deeper life purpose is uplifting. I am now 56 and have a successful marriage, business, fitness routine, intentional wardrobe etc. and what makes me most happy is helping others through the social impact initiative I started using a percentage of my business profits. We provide coaching, training to support not for profits that focus on health disparity, education and career advancement in underserved communities. Happiness is an inward not an outward journey.

[@squishysirenita]

I couldn't agree more! I was just about to post a comment about maturity and you nailed it! 🎯💯 I believe that one changes, evolves, grows, matures every 5-10 years (not everyone unfortunately) 😒 That's life...as Rod Stewart sang "I wish, that, I knew what I know now, when I was younger".

[@interlocution6619]

As someone who has also had a very middle class life-style with a corporate career, AND who has had a luxury lifestyle with a home in an affluent neighborhood with house-keepers, maintenance, and assistants I can honestly say this: I would rather have inner peace and be debt-free than drive a lulxury car. I do still like quality clothing and cosmetics, but they are for ME - not for showing off to others. I still love you and support your public transformation. Some times we just have to change our priorities. No matter what neighborhood I live in, or where I shop, what is most important to me about the people I spend my time with, is that they are genuine, compassionate, and have integrity - no matter what their job is... no matter what kind of house they live in or what they drive... no matter what their hobbies are. Keep living your best life Anna, whatever that means to you. One more thing I 100% agree that

[@knittingdoula]

Like her or hate her, it's impossible to deny that Anna has HUSTLED and worked hard to achieve her social media and personal goals. The constancy and stability and ambition required for this takes a lot of courage, and given her roots, those motivations were completely understandable. I applaud any woman with ambition and brains, and Anna has both. Cheers, friend! May you continue to hit every goal and serve the world at your highest level.

As someone who has watched every video you made and been along for the ride, I always understood I had to choose the the parts of your content that applied to me.

The maturation process in life (and inner-work) help us to question ourselves and make the right choices. Your evolution is not surprising and it is commendable. I look forward to more of your channel and your journal. I am a horsewoman as well; when I spend time at the farm where my mare boards - the rest of the world slips away.

I just turned 38 three days ago, and I will say there has been a dramatic shift in my perspective, goals, and personal feelings very recently. If you are not making changes throughout your life, you are remaining stagnant and cannot grow as a person. It gives "leveling up" a whole new meaning.

[@TheConfidenceNetwork]

I have been following Anna since jet set babe and enjoy her journey. I too went through a luxury phase. Now at 56 I feel happiest with less stuff and more living and enjoying simple things like a great cup of coffee with a good friend, achieving a milestone in yoga class or expanding my business model to more heavily focus on social impact. These things bring me far more JOY than my designer bags, many of which I sold. One of the bags I sold paid my way on a European cruise with my sisters a few years ago. I reflect on that experience and feel happy. I never think about the bag. The message I would say to young women is to expand the definition of luxury. Get the bag if it’s right for your style and budget, not because you think it will make you happy. It won’t! In fact the cost might actually cause anxiety and stress. Be grateful to have the privilege to choose how you live!

Speaking from experience. I noticed a shift in myself around this age where I started to slow down and minimize the noise and clutter in my life. I was never someone who bought into the hype of social media or fashion trends so I didn’t require a massive change. I’ve always had great self control throughout my life so making little changes over time has taken a huge weight off my mind and allowed me to focus on things that are truly important to me. We can’t take our things with us but we can think about how we want to be remembered or the impact we had on others.

No way around it. It's like saying, Ok I'm here, now what ? I found you some years ago and every now and again you pop in my head (via email ) to see what you are up to or teaching. Glad I opened this email to remind me you are a human being like us all. Much Love :)

I understand completely. You're maturing emotionally & mentally. You are starting to feel fulfilled. I've changed a lot in the past 12 month, considering cxling my social accts because I'm just not interested anymore.

[@Chinasa585]

I came across your channel 2021, especially the how to dress as an elegant lady, how to speak, how to level up and many others. That was a turning point in my life in a positive way, today I live a calm simple life and when I buy clothes I buy them because it’s functional for me not because of trend. Thank you @Anna Bey

[@colevandais]

I appreciate your advice. It's helpful to be educated by someone who knows what they are talking about. Don't worry about the people who say this or that about you. Some people are just judgemental instead of analytical, and that's the problem, not you. I think you must just speak your mind. You are naturally a good speaker. People who look for perspective appreciate different viewpoints. There is a place and time to dress up and dress down.. Your advice has been very helpful

[@lalavande1891]

I feel completely at peace with your departure from the high society aspiration. Life and circumstances once took me into those circles and some of my most unkind and most unpleasant social interactions happened then and there. Elegance and personal development and aspiration can be peacefully separated from the toxicity high society quite often brings into your life.

[@mimismithson5372]

It’s that age old thing of you get the materialistic things and you still end up looking for more in life! You’ve matured, you’ve reached your material goals which is amazing and now you want to experience the deeper layers of life, I love that for you. I’ve been watching you for a while and I love this evolution for you.

[@Katiediddance]

You are simply growing, maturing and changing as you go through your experiences, having learned from them. This is normal in life as we age, what we liked or were interested in changes.

[@CarolinaMc-Lean]

We are the same age!!! and 2022 was the same for me!!! Like a turning point, in my case I ended a long relationship, and in summary: I changed my skin. I totally get your transformation, I listen to you and it resonates on me so much.

[@hallucinogen22]

this is called growth and evolution. I'm here for it and right there with you! I like the direction of your growth as well. it could have evolved a different direction and you chose this. dare I say it, and not that it should matter to you, but I am proud of you to see it

[@terrystarr2617]

We can all live with less stuff. I like good stuff, but I try to use what I have. From my perspective at age 65, you are indeed entering a new chapter in your life. What I have always liked about you is that you learn from others, and you are a thinker! You will grow and mature as long as you stay open to learning, and think for yourself about things that matter to you. Bon voyage, Anna!

[@suzanimhoff2345]

You go Anna! I cant wait to see what you're gonna talk about next, I'm sure it's gonna be amazing. Also: I think the perspective you got now is also an important part of the whole "high society" topic. Many people there feel a lack of depth, genuine connection and simplicity in my experience. So having someone from high society, who cherishes it for some of its aspects, talk about more behind the scene topics or issues women might have with it is really gold.

[@lu_re7198]

No problem...Those of us who were only here for the elegant style tips 😄 (not into designer bags or an elite lifestyle) are happy to hear if these changes. 🥂🎉 Wish I could’ve seen the de clutter videos.

[@outinarizona]

each decade brings its own shift, for good or for bad depends on you. you're just getting started. have fun!

[@lorianderson1179]

I'm right there with you Anna! That lifestyle showed me how superficial people were and judgemental. Not my vibe anymore at all. I want to look nice but I don't need to be around those types of people. I like genuine people who really care about each other and not what they have. Kudos to you

[@000SunFlower000]

It's been so interesting seeing you evolve into the woman you are today. I feel you are much more in tune with who you are than in the beginning. You've matured into a confident, calmer woman, you've found your natural elegance. I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see where this new journey will take you, but I intend to be on this side supporting you and other women as much as possible :D All the best!

[@VBoo459]

I really admire you Anna, I have been a follower for a long time and you helped teach me elegant, eloquence and femininity. Even if you cringe, I don't because your past videos were where you were at, and many of us needed it at the time. I have been able to become a better version of myself and level up thanks to you. and I, like you, have pivoted my needs. I don't buy luxury anymore, I have leveled up how I look, and I have/am working on my inner being. I only want to buy what I really will be using. I rather now spend my money on experiences and planning for my family (soon to be married yay and hopefully a mum soon!). Its natural to evolve like you said.

[@migrabar79]

You are growing and maturing spiritually. Some people never do, and I think that is very sad. I hope that we all gather more than just wrinkles with the passage of time, I hope that we become a little wiser, a little more centered and balanced. You seem to be doing exactly that. Congratulations! Those are the things you are going to be taking with you at the end of the trip. PS: Having horses (I have 3) teach me so much about myself. They are very spiritual beings that reflect what is inside you. I'm constantly learning from them.

[@LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus]

I love Ana. You are so true and authentic ❤

[@82AHoss]

That's great, I'm so happy for you! It's not easy to change or improve yourself, but I knew you were smart and true to yourself from the start. You were always showing pictures from your past life and talking about how you made some mistakes and changed. It takes a big person to notice these things and try to improve. Keep going forward. I've learned a lot from you, and I really appreciate you ❤️

[@nabiharais]

One of your most authentic videos. Please continue to be you and continue to be your best version.

[@liccabify]

Hi Anna, I agree with what you've shared. I used to network, party & sparkly life but as time passes, simplicity brings joy because we could get so bored after shopping for almost everything, to the point that nothing much excites anymore. I get what you mean by the "extremes" and balance- translating the message is really a challenge and it is easy to offend students as well. Really been enjoying your videos, keep going :)

[@TimeLapse54321]

Love this! I have followed your content since 2018 and I swore by it. In the past 2 years, my priorities shifted more towards time as luxury instead of material things. I didn't abandon you, but I definitely began to watch less of your content. Knowing that you've also been having this shift and seeing more equestrian videos definitely piques my interest again! :)

[@AnnaBeyOfficial]

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad I haven't lost you completely! 😉

[@Lkotis]

I feel you are simply maturing. Your outlook going from superficial to introspective does not preclude elegance it can only enhance it. I believe elegance really begins in the heart.

[@caribbean9829]

I love this new life stage, because I have been feeling in the same way. In my case 43 years old, with a 3 years old boy, and an amazing husband that i found because of my level up. Now looking elegancy, wealth, and good life with other eyes, but ones that give me more peace and happiness. Good for you Anna! If you are happy, we are happy for you🎉

[@lauramb946]

I is totally understandable to find other goals and aspirations. I’m 40 and I am Going throughout these changes and focusing on myself and you know what? There’s always people thinking something’s wrong haha and find hard to accept your new habits and ideas. That’s called maturity/evolving. Good for you! Ana.

[@SarahA-l9c]

Anna, I prayed a prayer back in 2022 for God to show me how to dress and what materials to buy etc. Suddenly you popped up on my KZbin feed randomly and I haven't been the same since. I changed my entire wardrobe with your advice and today I'm proud of the way I look and dress and now I'm teaching my own little daughters how to dress elegantly. You are an answer to my prayers and I'm so grateful to you!

[@sherrydance144]

I think you evolve to somethng new in each decade of your life. Thank you for being real!

[@vontie7]

Congratulations Anna, so happy to see you evolve over the years!

[@lienaisaula9877]

Dear Anna, thank you for your wisdom!♥️✨

[@patti9415]

Your self reflection is refreshing! Love personal evolution...so inspiring.

[@NajwaHamed-e9j]

Impressed! Looking back and evaluating oneself is part of leveling up

[@alwaysgrowing7273]

I think luxury is an inner as well as outer way of being. True and authentic. Comfortable in your own skin and environment. Consistently growing and improving upon being genuine, empathetic, caring, giving, encouraging, having boundaries, setting goals. Our outter reflects our inner and let’s not forget this includes our words! Always have liked you Ana! Your heart of the matter was always apparent to me❤

[@MjVillamor-e5t]

Hi Anna, I've been following you since 2019 using another account. And what I want to say now is that it's good to see a personal side of you. I think whatever that came up to you is very normal. I am same age as you and I resonate with this video.

[@dannyspromise]

I think you’ve never been more beautiful. 😊 Your inner beauty is being reflected on your face and it’s absolutely lovely.
