Having a healthy balance of everything in life is amazing! For me I only have 4 designer bags bought years ago & I love them but don't have any desire to indulge into luxury shopping any more. Hope you can find your own balance and live the happiest life with your lovely family 🌟

This is another way of influencing just the opposite of what influencers do. Why announce it if you weren’t trying to influence others to do the same. I believe everyone knows that designer items does not and should not define who your are. Buy whatever you like because you like it. At the end of the day it’s all vanity just like all the other tangible things in this world.

Yes but a home is actually an investment…bags are not.

I have always wondered about people who crave that lifestyle. Would they have anything interesting to say or can they bring anything to the table in intelligent conversation. Yes, I do have high end bags and etc. I love maybe 5 of them. I have sold one of my Birkins. I did feel proud of myself when I didn't grieve the loss of it. Hahaha. Anyway, I love this post. It's very inspiring. Let's see what kind of personalities we can nurture without being fed a bunch of crap about luxury being a necessity

why selling everything when you can keep them for your kids ? Or grandkids? Is an opposite extreme from over purchasing with a similar reason. Buying to feel happy and then selling to feel happy. None of this 2 extremes solves the problem. In both cases the person is relying on manipulation with material items in order to get rid of a deeper feeling. I went through both stages being in therapy. Holding into items that you already have and focusing on the feelings can be an option. I regret getting rid of some items being in this stage. It didn’t solve anything but I lost things that brought me memories.

i love you so much! I recently just found your nkuwan and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

I only recently in the last few months saw the creators showing their recent luxury purchases... and the first thing that came to my mind was as a middle income adult, "who the hell would care" about such frivolous and non-essential stuff!?! As if to say our lives as are nothing without this stuff... how sad that their fulfillment in life would be "to acquire things" instead of doing all they can to help humanity. You are a refreshing breath of fresh air and I'm grateful for your truth ❤

Sometimes you have to get through something, bevor understanding it's useless! Important is to understand sooner or later that immaterial values are more important.

Drawing upon personal experience, there may be occasions when you may have feelings of insecurity and face the temptation to revert to familiar habits. Prepare for these moments and remind yourself why you're on this journey. Often, with lifestyle change, you'll find you need new friends as you can no longer relate and share the same values. Usally, the change is for the better. " MATERIALISM WILL NEVER MAKE YOU HAPPY. IT KEEPS YOU JUST FRUSTRATED ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE YOU BUY MORE." - JEAN SEBASTIEN MONZANI

Beautiful! Congratulations on finding such incredible clarity and enlightenment! ✨

Love this video !

This is so great! It also can be stressful to have a bunch of expensive goods that need to be protected and maintained. I really just don’t want to have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of luxury goods at home. I’d be constantly worried about theft, house fires, floods, etc.

Isn't it great that I could've just been at this point already when I was broke 😂 what was I thinking

New subscriber since I saw the change in your content! I was waiting to see a shift in the overconsumption of luxury for few years now and I am so happy to this happening. I am happy for the spiritual transformation you are going through and using your platform for this! 😍 as a new mom myself I can relate and I had to get rid of a birkin and a kelly and a chanel flap, because they were not matching my lifestyle. I got these from years ago, and were collecting dust and when I would force myself to wear them, the Hermes bags were so heavy, I regretted many times buying them. Now I am just for bags that are comfortable and fit my lifestyle and experiences like traveling with my family and creating precious memories

I was skeptical at first....yeah, right...but now I see it's true. It's also a huge safety issue for street wear. I recently sold my entire LV luggage (8 pieces) collection because it no longer serves me and has been sitting in a closet for 11 years.

So true I love bags but I love this perspective it speaks to my soul it is the truth

I love this and I am so happy for you! We are all evolving and I love that you acknowledge what used to resonate for you no longer does.
