Hi Sarah, I just want to say your so strong from what it sounds like you been through an awful lot. I was in a controlling relationship for 11 years 3 children. I also moved in the middle of nowhere and starting from scratch all over again he took my children manipulating them against me havent seen them in 3 and half years. I'm still finding my feet and picking up the pieces I felt like everyone around me failed me as a mother by the courts and the authorities. Your videos have really helped me with making extra cash on surveys. As I was going through very heard times with no money to pay bills or to eat. Take care and hopefully your feel better soon 💕

This is a brave and honest video. I really appreciate it. You have done so well to move forward out of difficult circumstances. Inspirational. Get well and take it from there xx

So sorry that you’re feeling so unwell at the moment, but this will pass. You’re absolutely right that you should share the good and the bad. Fingers crossed that things will improve very soon. Take care x

I think it’s a no brainier, you’re extremely good at re selling and inspiring others and you come across as very natural and genuine, I have learned a lot from you! It all gets a bit hard sometimes, life is like that, but when we find our way again things have a way of being even bigger and better than before..

Hi Sarah, I mostly found your videos through matched betting a couple of years ago now and I just wanted to say I always found your videos so empowering positive and uplifting even when going though my own struggles and individual battles. It sounds like you’re finding yourself at a crossroads with a lot of changes and uncertainty, I wish you strength in the face of adversity and wisdom in your times of darkness, sunnier days will come again especially for a driven, intelligent mother 🙏🏾

Sarah, Enjoy Christmas , work rest play , but always enjoy 🙂🙂😎😎🐶🐶

Oh wow im in the exact same situation im always scared if i needed to go to hospital my kids would have literally nobody as my mum unfortunatley died 3 years a go and i have no other family. Also having to turn down every job i get an offer for because i have no help with the kids. In a bad situation financially and mentally too and im trying slowly to get a stock pile to start selling on ebay as its my last hope to build a future for me and my kids. just come accross your videos looking for ebay seller tips and youve been really helpful so thank you. I hope your in a better situation now and have subscribed to your chanel x

I’m so sorry things feel overwhelming at the moment. I definitely think you’re feeling worse about things because you’ve been ill and are so tired. One thing I think is that you need a bigger support network. I don’t live close to family so have a few diffferent school Mums that I can ask to do school pick ups/ last minute childcare etc. I had to nurture these relationships with coffee dates etc, maybe you could join the PTA or similar to make some friendships with school parents? That being said if I’m ill and so are my children I don’t have anyone I can ask to help. I don’t like to subject others to our lurgys and we just have to get through it. I’m not a single parent but my husband works very long hours and can’t miss a day to support us when we’re poorly. A few years ago I developed a chronic illness and had to learn to parent from the couch. I only had one easy child at the time though and she can now help a lot with our youngest. Luckily my chronic illness is fairly well controlled although I can work full time due to the fatigue. I really hope you’re all one the mend soon and manage to enjoy Christmas! Xxx

Thank you so much for your reply, you are right about building a bigger support network. I'm really terrible at asking for help and just hate it so have always tried to push through alone. Plus I'm like you when we are poorly we don't want to be infecting anyone else. I literally do not know how you manage with having a chronic illness and having multiple children, I'm guessing it'll get easier as they get older x

Hi dear hope you get better soon it’s hard when the children are young my are all grown up now we all love you keep you Chin up it be brighter next day have a good Xmas x

first things first, get yourself well, and just go with the flow. The worst thing that could happen is losing the job, but it is not the end of the world if you do. Make a plan when you are well and stick to it. I was a single parent and omg it was hard but I got through it. You will be ok but are currently overwhelmed so it is hard to focus on what is important

Everything seems to happen at once doesn't it 🤦‍♀️ I think everything seems twice as bad when you're not feeling 100% Maybe self employed is the way to go until the kids get a little older, especially when you know you can earn the money, and maybe go back to your dream job in a few year 👌🏻 I couldn't go back out to work now, even tho I sometimes feel I don't have any time to myself, i enjoy having a certain about of freedom to do as I please if I want to. Hope you feel better soon x

Your a great mum , your videos are utterly amazing and while I can't help with the looking after your kids as mine are truly a handful as well . I do want you to know your a good person and your doing a brilliant thing for your children and your helping the people who watch these videos . Keep being the good person you are and if I can help with your mental health I will always like to think of myself a good listener .

@@SelfEmployedStudentMum You really do deserve it and sometimes when someone is feeling on a low and they aren't expecting a compliment then the compliment comes along . Talking about the difficulties cannot be understated and your so brave to do so .Just keep being a superb mum , being a genius at reselling and your moneysaving advice is phenomonal and if you feel your struggling again I think I speak on behalf of people on here by saying we are here to help and be thankful for all u do xxx.

Hey- At the least you're still Rockin' the hair! 😁. I'm still hustlin my booty off. Prefer the online earnings even if it is a real slog sometimes. Have you tried freelancing? Fiverr can be really good - Free too. I reckon the spokesperson type gig might suit you (Quick to do.) Loads of other job options too. (Best of all it's free! - they do take a hefty 20%) but for the service it's worth it.) Anywho, hope you get well psychically and financially soon! 👍❤️

Hope you are feeling better now, everything seems so much worse when you feel like shite. I get very sad at Christmas, since I lost family & had something terrible happen to me on Christmas Eve. I have a disabled son so I haven't been able to work for years , people say I'm lazy but I would love to work. I have no family to help us out friends don't want to. It's just our little bubble. Perhaps hold off working until the kids are more independent & you can spread your wings. Sending you a big hug X X

Amazing how real and genuine you are

If I was you, I’d focus on getting well, I’d go to the chemist and get some Metatone tonic, this will help you to recover quicker and I’m sure getting yourself back on your feet will help you focus, I’d honestly leave the job for now, you are amazing at being self employed, you have your whole life to change career, for now I’d focus on your biggest income streams, run some auctions on eBay, tweak listings,remember Jan is still a good month to cash in on eBay try and make the most of it.. you can sit in your chair and do a bit of matched betting maybe.. try not to juggle too many balls .. try and focus on the easiest way to bring in the cash.. you are stronger than you think .. you have got this … big hugs sweet lady xx

I’m having a shit time personally to and feel similar to yourself. One step forward one back, you have to decide whether it’s realistic to carry on working with the kids or throw yourself back into what was a successful business. I’ve still not recovered from having to give up my job for similar reasons. Anyway I’m giving you advice as I sit feeling sorry for myself 🙄😂

Hi I just recently came across your channel and I really like your content you videos come across as honest and really easy to follow. I’ve been focusing on your videos about matched betting. Can I please ask in the years that you have been doing it have you ever been gummed ? Thanks in advance

Don't loose your job, Yes it is really hard but your job is massive for you going forward/ pension..You have enough money for the immediate future, which is brilliant fight threw this illness thing ... Then its back to working hard and save as much as you can so you have a buffer for if this happens again ,,,, I know its expensive but look at getting a professional childminder added to your bank of friends/ family .. The kids are getting older and that gives you more freedom 🙂🙂 The futures bright just keep on keeping on ...

Surely the school should keep the kids until the normal time if you can't leave work early. My son's school will if it's an early finish, since it's not the usual time, they seem to understand people work.

You won’t be back where you started because you now have the skills and experience that you didn’t have before. Things will look different after you start to feel better.

Also I would stay self employed if it works best for you.

You are not well - give yourself a break. You have the skills to get up and running again. I had the C and it sucks the life out of you - you will get back to your old self though. (Maybe send your boss this video!)

Bit of a random one, are you still using "Hustle got real"? I've tried using it and it's a bit naff really - no matter what I do it won't connect to my eBay account 😅 We're lucky at the moment in the sense our two children are 15months and 12 weeks so they're not old enough to understand Christmas and what not yet so it doesn't really matter much as long as the toddler has something to unwrap on Christmas day. 🙂
