I'm a third year college undergraduate psychology student and hopefully next year, I'll get my degree/dimploma. I am going to choose to work in clinical. U inspired me so much because I l've always wanted to travel. So I'll be back here in 2 years when I make it!! Hopefully by then your channel will get it's recognition it deserves! 💚🌼✊
Loved this so much! Going to start keeping my phone in another room :)
Omg hope you enjoyed your travels ..you deserved a break indeed ..we all have to remember self loves ..i did a lonly trips in January this year ..1 week in remote was bliss 💯🫶👍🙌
I've been binging a bunch of your videos they are so helpful & informative! I'm currently studying Psych (in Sydney as well 😊) & your vids are so affirming to the path I'm on, loving your reflective process, just want to say thank you and keep doing what you're doing ! 🫶
Great to see you back on KZread Ro, that’s a very insightful and inspirational video. Good luck for your new job!
That's so cool that you went to Peru! I'm from there, just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and am really liking it! Such an inspiration ❤
Ro!!! I’m so glad we met in Barcelona. Love the vid, great advice, and I wish you all the best!

Nat!!! Haha so glad we bumped into each other 🥰
Great video Ro! Loved the tips in section 2, particularly the exercise of thinking 10 years ahead and looking back. Going to have a good think about that one. Everyone run's their own race in life and its important to define our own version of success :) Keep up the great work!
It definitely helps us go back to our selves and remember the things we loved and get creatives wth the cooking therapy and its all important to keep excited ..youll do a great work shop ..you got this now # inspired me tonights ..sorry on alotcomments ..i get the tunning out ..i do for a day or 2 at times ..people need to respect and understand each other 💯🙌👍✌️
I said we can change our lives if we want and create our own destiny..even if dealt the wrong cards as they say ..just known theres other chances out there in life can change your minds 💯🙌✌️
Hello, great to have you back!! Did you move to a new apartment? Is there a home tour coming up? Or a moving video? All the best and keep up the good work ❤
# family ..or those who are important in our lives ..i was fostered and think of everyone who was a part of my identity too 💯👍✌️
When i watch fast and furious wth the kids the loves ..# this is brazil ..but definitely a hard cutlure and much respect and loves in there environment for the youth and elders 💯🙌🌹👍🤞✌️
Hi Ro, somehow watching your videos has become one of my habbits now💝 I'm in my early 30s and I'm a mom of two preschool girls in Melbourne. After almost a year of researching and struggling, I decide to change career to psychology (going back to uni next year). But sometimes I'd still doubt if it is feasible as there is so much more to weight on me than back in my 20s. English is my second language, I'm not sure if I can finish all the readings and writings on time and provide care for my family at the same time. And I'm afraid if the reality is not what I think it is even after all those researches. But I do really have calling in going this path!!! Could you suggest where I can research more on whether the job in reality really suits me and what relative jobs I can probably get during the long study journey of becoming a therapist in order to finantially support my family? Much much appreciated, take care😊

Hi Chloe! Thank you so much for the support and I'm so glad you're pursuing psych when it resonates so strongly with you! Hmm job experience wise if you want to practise as a psychologist in the future I recommend anything where you get to come into contact with people with mental health difficulties- admin for a psychology clinic is great. I also recommend reaching out to psychs over LinkedIn or email and asking if they would be open to an information interview about their job. I did this with two psychologists in my third year and visited their office and it was so helpful. Best of luck!
I am a police officer and a criminologist. I am looking forward to your discussion in your vlog about criminal psychology.
Motivation is key 🎉
Omg i am so shy to meetnew people..but very sociable ..loves to talk wth others whhere theyve been what they see and know of historical knowledge of a place and definitely can be scary but ..i also found that people i had never met where caring and wanting the same to talks to new people and share experiences is what its all about indeeds ..we definitely all finds its hards to step out comfort zones ..but as they say ..if ya never never go yiull never never know..so im yet to make it out the country..think its times to get onto a visa but my furst stop would be new zelands ..then from there i hopes i can do the travels when my kids are older..thanks for your inspiration ..dont delay your dreams we find a way or definitely takes planning ..thanks for heads ups ..# never say never💯🙌👍🤞✌️
