I am 35 and I've only just figured out what I want to do with my life. I thought I had figured it out over a decade ago but apparently not. life is a process, don't be afraid to change things up.
The worst thing one can do is to live by others expectations of what you should be. They don't know how it is to be you.

aww jen! happy to help ❤️ you're doing amazing already
The first year after I graduated was so painful! I got a job in my field and quickly realized (truthfully, I already knew) that I didn’t want to keep pursuing a career in biology. One yoga teacher training later, I decided to dive into content and social media. That led me to design which I now do full time on my own! It’s crazy to think I created a career where I’m my own boss and live on my own terms. You’ve reminded me to be proud of what I’ve accomplished! ☺️

Last night i was just crying and praying because i don't know what career i will pursue after college, i feel like i am not good at the things i used to be good at, this pandemic really making me emotionally unstable , and here you are aileen 😭💗💗💗 Thank you srsly
I graduated 7 years ago, got several jobs and thought I found what I want to do in my life. I was wrong, I moved to a new country 3 years ago and that's where I got lost like completely lost. I keep asking what should I do to my life, I felt this pressure from my surroundings. But I'm glad I found your channel 💙. Thank you.
When she says “when I edit my videos and I look up and four hours has passed” really resonated with me. It’s so fun to anticipate the end result with what you enjoy creating
Im 51 and was so lost. Thank you baby..this has helped me..ill tell you how my new life turns out. Muah Ty
I’m graduating in a month and I feel very lost right now so this is exactly what I need right now. Thank you so much, there has never been a person online that inspired and motivated me so much like you do 🥺👉🏼👈🏼❤️

Hi Aileen. I’m your KZread fan from Thailand. I’m happy to help with translate into Thai in case there's someone needed.
This is so timely and helpful! I'm in the age in my life where people (including me!) expect me to achieve so much while the other half is telling me to slow down and let life lead me. And honestly, i like the option two better 💕 Thank you so much for this ❤️✨
Exactly what I needed. What puts me into flow state is writing (short stories, poems and content for youtube). I love writing so much. When I write, I forget about food, social media, and all.
I've been feeling low about so many things, but then I saw this and its like universe telling me, everything will be okay. You and your videos uplift people. Thank you. Thank you so much ❤
This might sound really depressing lol but what if I don’t love anything? Like I’m not necessarily passionate about specific things. I don’t even know what to major in for college.

Things that put me in flow: Cleaning Cooking Organizing Budgeting/paperwork Writing/journaling Helping people through personal issues/volunteering Research Being in nature North node in Scorpio = North Node Scorpios are meant to explore the most profound matters when it comes to psychology. During the present lifetime, they're all the time learning how to place value on how others' mind is working. First House = North Node in the first house brings the conflict between the need for self-development and the pursuit of harmony; mental balance and the ability to adapt in a relationship; tension between giving and receiving. These people need to develop the courage to step out of old relationship habits and create the right relationship with themselves. They need to do what they think is right. They should concentrate on developing their independence and self-confidence. They should be willing to deal with conflicts and accept losses in relationships. Beware of over-adaptability and inclination to help everyone, even if it is against their own needs.
Thank you Aileen! Honestly, I felt so overwhelmed and just watching this made me feel like I can totally handle anything! I really appreciate all your hard work and you are an inspiration! 💖
The Vivid Vision exercise (among the others in the workbook) is POWERFUL. I was feeling so lost, and ideas just started flowing into my head, things that I never would've thought about beforehand. A life that I wanted was coming into my head and I saw steps to start to take immediately to get there. I don't feel STUCK for the first time in a very long time. I'm inspired and motivated and EXCITED. Thank you!! Seriously, I can't express my gratitude, literally a life changing boundary-breaking moment for me.
Your videos are so aesthetic! They seriously give me the warm fuzzies. I aspire to get to your level of artistry.

i love art. anything about art, whether it's writing books, drawing digitally, canvas art, crochet, embroidery, sketching, music, makeup, etc. i just love to do art. the world needs a positive person to help people through hard times like right now. wow..already thinking through what i want in the very far away future
Love the exercise to find your career sweet spot. Another fantastic and inspiring video, cheers!
I love how practical your content is❤️ I needed this so badly, you inspired me to finally get to know myself and start my dreamed YT channel. I am so grateful for finding your channel. I’m staying here forever. Have a peaceful day ✨
Honestly, I've watched MANY videos on "How to find your passion". This is the best I've found. It's clear you've actually looked this up. Good job and keep it going.
Thank you so much for this upload! I absolutely love your channel! You have inspired me to go all in on my KZread channel and media business this year! Keep rocking the YT airwaves and blessings to you from this new KZreadr!💕
Been watching your videos since the early days and you always have really sound advice so thank you 🙏. It seems what stops a lot of people from finding their path is not knowing that it’s ok to take the time to explore, and then to reflect inwardly and outwardly, and finally knowing how to gain meaning from that reflection. It can be so hard to know how to translate reflection into meaning sometimes but I feel like your advice is so solid on that front. I’ve been tossing up a few possible career/life paths to peruse lately but this really solidified the direction I want to go in, that feeling of curiosity and excitement is vivid!
two things put me on flow: reading fiction and studying Japanese

I want to really thank you Lavendaire, for what you do. You've been really helpful during this quarantine time, and you made me discover a lot of things that I've started doing following your suggestions and I won't let go, cause they made me feel so good. Last thing, Skillshare, that is really something special, thanks for these 2 months free! Another BIG thank you from my heart. Happy Sunday! Chiara
Aileen, this is exactly the type of video I needed today. Thank you so much!

Dear Aileen, How do you know what I really need at the moment? It's just so fantastic that you uploaded this video.

So, Thank You so much for another GEM video that you added in your list. Sending you lots of love. 🥰😍
may i just leave this here: thank you so much for what you do Aileen, for creating this video, for helping so many souls out there. your videos have been guiding and helping me a lot! you are very much appreciated!! much love ✨💛

Thank you so much for this video! I had struggled with finding my purpose for many years, and I've found something that I love doing that has a positive impact, gets me into flow state, etc. and this video helped me realise that I am actually on the right path.
This is so helpful! I still quite haven't figured out what I want to do with my life but this was so so helpful. I feel like I'm on the right path 💛🧡💛 thank you!!!
Anytime you discuss this topic, you light up! Your previous video on ikigai totally changed my life! This video was amazing! Thanks for this!
I’ve been wishing to receive some positive vibes for such a long time. Glad that I can now figure out what I really want to do in my life. Thank you for letting me know that it is normal to get confused and lost in life sometimes:’)
Thank you for this, Aileen😊 You always inspire me through your videos that are full of wisdom. You are incredibly amazing❤️
Thank you so much for this video!😭😭 I really needed it. And I love that you also included astrology into it!
Making art, editing videos, creating prototypes, writing, and exercise brings me into a flow. Never realized it until you asked in this video. ☺️
I have been agonizing over this for the past week Aileen, thank you so much for always knowing what we need to hear!
This video actually so motivating! It’s so nice that you share your experience and encourage everyone around the world!💜Thank you so much Lavendaire! 😉
Ight Imma download those worksheets cause this girl is feeling overwhelmed due to graduation. I just sign up for for skillshare for I want to improve in my writing. The downside of being bilingual is that is that I am constantly translating in my mind and it show through my writing. Love this video and you have always been a good role model. 💕
This is exactly what I needed right now! I know I want to do something in the writing industry but I'm still not sure about it more because I have to find my 100% confidence and believe in my abilities. I'm sure these exercises will help me show myself that If this is the right path for me, I will feel it no matter the costs of it. Sending you so much love, thank you for always enlightening us ✧
Thank You so much for your being! You are so natural and warm person. I used to listen to your podcast so that I’m here. I love all topic ideas and how you make it.
After going through lot of things in life I came to know that I self love is so important but I didn't knew how to start or what to do .your channel is really helping me raise my vibrations .. Thanks and lots of love from Bangalore
i’m 15 and i’m very much confused about my life’s purpose i don’t know my passions or my hobbies i’m constantly worried bout my future and it’s such a scary thing to me i’m so grateful i found your channel it’s helping a lot thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ur videos have literally changed my life... U share so much inspirational videos, I love you
Thank you Lavendaire for reminding me all of this.❤ You are such a great inspiration to me. God bless you.Continue spreading love and light.❤
As always, you're everything. ❤️❤️ I just love your work!
I am now in the beginning of my 20s and already feeling LOST . This was what I really needed thank you a lot ...!
I find myself needing and finding myself again. Your videos help me a lot growing on my journey as person, my life and my dreams ✨ so thank you for being an inspiration and wonderful videos 🌸
This is so motivating and makes me feel like I control my own life, thank you so much for this!♥️
Divine synchronicity I have been seeking guidance from this subject I have been feeling lost uncertain about my future during this pandemic. Thank you for being the vehicle for the universe to answer my prayers ❤️🙏
I am soooooo amazed upon checking my astrology. It somewhat approved my thought on pursuing my life long dream career. Thank you so much Aileen. Continue to shine brightly😘😘😘😘
I am literally right now thinking about my future, where to go and stuff. Your video helped me so much, I am doing the things I love, but at the moment a haven't found a way to make a living out of it. Making music, doing videos - all these things put me into the flow-state. I hope, I will make a living out of it someday 😊🍀
Thank you
I'm turning 29 this year and still working on it. I have the artist of life workbook, brought me to tears because it's so beautiful and I want to change but have trouble 'believing' I can change in time and that I won't be able to achieve it. But as long as I don't give up completely... I still keep coming back to your videos, hopefully this work sheet will help and I'll have a crack at it.
I just want to say 'THANK YOU'! I had never heard of North nodes before this video and in looking for my north node - I had a wonderful revelation! And, that's all thanks to you!
Thanks dear. Love you. I actually found out my ikigai a few months ago and I am doing what I love now. Yes I am teaching, training kids, making video and taking online classes too.
Aligning with your channel has been a delightful blessing. Thank you for your balanced perspectives 💛💜💛
Perfect timing as always. Thank you🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing yourself and your lessons with people who care. You help more than you know!❤🌌
Thank you so much, I've been struggling with what I want to do in life because I have a job where I feel comfortable but have this nudge that something else is out there.
Perfect timing,like always💖💖
I can't thank you enough for this workbook!!! 😭 it's exactly the kind I needed !!!
This came just at the right time, it's what I really needed!
Aileen, you have no idea how much I have always needed this! This has also always been my biggest struggle, so I was captivated by every single point you shared. Everything was perfectly clear and valuable. Thank you so much for your help!
I am so grateful for an amazing opportunity to listen these beautiful tips💖Thank you Aileen 🙏. I am so lost at the moment. I really don't know what to do with my career. The good news are I am searching for it and I believe I will find it. 🙂. Good luck everyone with self discovery. 🏆
This was so inspiring. I expect to also keep putting out videos for the next 1-2 yrs consistently with no certainty of success and constantly have doubts. But it's a strong passion that I believe is worth pursuing! Thank you for such an amazing video ♥️
Aileen! Everything you do and are is so pleasant. Your vibe, your look, your voice. 😍 I also have my north node in Aquarius and am exploring really collaborating and working with people. It’s so fun to know someone who has the same north nodes. It’s like both of you are going towards the same destination but with different paths. It’s awesoooome. 🌞🌻
Thank you so much for these videos! ❤❤
Thank you so much Aileen! Love you always! ❤

Lavendaire I really needed this. To say that I’m lost again in what my purpose is and what I want to do with my life is an understatement. This pandemic really screwed up my initial path to my dream life after being laid off from my main job right after winning Employee of the Month and before formally receiving a promotion and a raise for my excellent performance with the company. I also can’t work at my side barista job or any other essential worker jobs, because I’m immunocompromised. I haven’t received any unemployment benefits or payments even though I’ve been approved since March 27, 2020. I’m trying so hard not to stay negative and down in the dumps with all the problems I have because of this pandemic, especially since I’m not alone in feeling that way and there’s people in worse situations than me because of this. Thanks Aileen/ Lavendaire for still posting content that inspires, motivates and gives people like me hope 🥺💜💗✨
