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. 💚✨

Rather, this type of content is generally no longer interesting. Plus, there are only some many things you can discuss. Similar to how Beauty Gurus went on to lifestyle content.

[@portia-7946]

It is rather that she has now achieved everything she was set out to affluent wise, and now she can focus on other things.

[@TheConfidenceNetwork]

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". Sometimes I believe it's unfair but it is what it is.

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. For example, I was already married, so there was a lot of things that didn’t apply to me. High Society doesn’t interest me. I’m quite a homebody that enjoys being with her animals. However, thanks to your content and free classes. I was able to level up my home, my wardrobe, my persons, as well as my business, I can honestly say following you and doing the work has changed my life🥂 thank you, Anna❤️

Question: What caused your evolution from external materialism to internal authenticity and evolution. Was this due to a major life changing event?

[@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

[@SheisGraceful]

I personally feel like you have gotten very warm and down to earth lately. I noticed a while ago that you seemed more genuine and empathetic in your videos. Had no idea about the divorce. Wish you all the best, and thank you for the videos you’ve provided during these years, you taught me so much. Started watching you as a 15 year old girl. Tack Anna 🩷

[@yankeedoodledarling9232]

Communication is the basis of your job and English is your second language, yet, you communicate magnificently - and your evolution is palpable. It is my impression that you reached your former goals and you have set new ones for yourself. 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 think this is the blessing of embracing what interests us - it brings us another dimension of joy and learning - and horses are such great teachers. Ride on!

[@roniil4589]

[@SuzannaDiebes]

I agree it is an "age thing" at least for some of us. You get to a point where you literally do just wake up one morning and ask yourself... What am I doing? What IS really important to me? Important in my relationships?Important in the world? And then slowly you realize the things and people that really aren't serving you anymore, and you find yourself in this wonderful journey of actually coming to peace with yourself and life. I love seeing your quiet/still life and you being able to connect with yourself and this shift in your mindset. Embrace it fully. ❤

I appreciate that you spoke about how you reached your current viewpoint of life precisely because you reached your goal of living a high class/high society life. I think that sometimes you need to actually reach your goal (get to the top of the mountain, so to speak) in order to understand that there is another angle, or more, to life. Once you are the top of the mountain, you have a bird's eye view that you didn't have before and can see things you couldn't have possibly understood before. We all evolve. It's a part of life.

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!

You go Anna! I cant wait to see what you're gonna talk about next, I'm sure it's gonna be amazing.

I admire your consistency in the path to living like an affluent, first externally and now inwardly. Your courage to allow your wisdom to redefine "affluence" is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@odalysalvarez305]

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.

[@outinarizona]

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

[@CuteBamboo2012]

I always love these videos where you are down to earth. I love how open you are about this subject, still sharing with us even if it is not on the same subject and owning the change. Massive respect Anna ! Didn't know you divorced, I've been there and hated when people said "sorry" as it was a choice so best of luck!

[@glennarichards2933]

You are going in to a new season ❤. Growing!

[@Ki-l7s]

Anna I like your admitting that you’ve changed your perspective. It makes you real & genuine, and it's very humbling. I’m your fan although I’m not a fashionista. I’m an academic lecturer who is more interested in collecting knowledge, information & wisdom for my job. That gives me satisfaction. This year I’m spending most of my free time in my garden, planting & tending flowers, herbs & veggies. It's great when you find an activity that humbles you & brings you joy. All the best Anna, I’ll continue to watch this space ❤❤❤

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

[@pulpostr123]

i honestly appreciated this change and honesty so much

[@summert5404]

Anna, I think you are fabulous! How wonderful that you have gone through so many life experiences, and now, you realize that you are happiest leading a simple, meaningful life. I admire that so much! I found your videos shortly after my beloved husband died. He left me a millionaire, living in a country club and owning a beautiful home. But I felt unsure of how to navigate life without him, and how to relate to many of the people I encounter in this setting. Your earlier videos helped me make some "level up" changes, and feel more comfortable interacting with my wealthy, country club friends. But I think you and I have landed in similar places! While it's fun to have a few fancy social events every month, I am happiest to lead a simple life, doing meaningful things like painting, gardening, book club, meditation group, exercise, and spending time with family and close friends. I think that is what's most important in life, and I thank you for sharing your own changes with all of us! 🪷 May you enjoy this new period of depth and transformation -Namaste! 🙏🏼☺💙🪷

I adore the way you speak and present yourself now so so much!! The personal and spiritual work that you have done is highly noticeable in you, and the new Anna is indeed an "updated version". I recently started to watch your videos again, since I had a break from social media and content consuming, and went through my own personal development, so I was impressed with the new content you've put out. Inner growth can be seen in you, and I never thought this happened because you are 'poor', or something bad happened to you. I wish you lots of luck and success in your future endeavours 🩷✨️🫶🏻

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

[@martarabello5560]

Perfect. That is how life works. We learn and we keep learning until the end. You are doing the best for yourself and that is it. You have great tips for us related to style and it is our responsibility to choose what fits us or not. You are doing a great job. Thanks.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tiffanywashington2599]

Love love love this! Your previous vids have been great sources of luxe fashion tips and etiquette. While I appreciate this kind of content, I am very happy to see content from a more evolved Anna. Thank you for being honest and allowing us to journey with you. Change is inevitable and to be welcomed. Looking forward to seeing where this takes us!

[@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!

[@EgleA-u8e]

This is such a great video! I am 39 and my life turned upside down 3 years ago and lots of changes happened. People labelled me selfish for speaking what I want instead of keeping pleasing others as I did all my life. I left my partner after 11 years and everyone assumed that it is for a new man ha ha Little did they know that he chose to string me along for a long time lying he has the same future goals and I was too naïve at that time. People kept seeing me changing and they naturally fell off my life. I slowly rebuilt a better life for myself. You just outgrew the life you had before which is absolutely normal as we change so much when maturing. I didn`t really liked your older videos but you do look a very genuine person, all the best to you! x

[@RoyalTeaNation]

I’ve been watching you for years & learned so much! You’ve matured and I also believe there’s so much content out now that has devalued the topic. Love your work, Anna! Excited to see what the future holds for you! ❤

[@maryanne4606]

One great example of how personal development is an evolving, independent journey. This is a valuable message. It includes everyone wherever they are ❤ I do think, hope, most substitute other areas with materialism if that's not them. To still benefit from the messages.

[@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.

[@nikka5986]

New season of your life. Congratulations Anna.

[@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

[@dannyspromise]

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

[@heatherfranco5810]

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.
