Just a girl in her 30s going with the flow. Hey, I'm Dyana and I'm a single mom of 2. I started my KZread journey talking all things personal finance and while that's still an important part of me I now create whatever is igniting a fire deep inside of me. Girl talks, money tips, self-development...I'm just a wanderer with a camera and a microphone.

I'm 33, and I find myself thinking of ways that I can get back to my childhood self all of the time! Not that I'm trying to run from responsibilities or anything, but I really do think that was the most authentic version of myself, and I'm trying to find her again. I thought it was weird...glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. Also, in regards to what you said about not relying on feelings, it makes me think of that one verse in the Bible..."The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?" Jer 17:9 (RSV). To me, it's clear this is talking about how our heart (aka feelings) are so malleable and temporal that we can't base our foundations on them. Our feelings can inform us, but they shouldn't necessary guide us. We need a blend of sound logic/intuition for that (which are separate from our feelings). I definitely let my feelings guide me throughout my twenties, and while things worked out for me, I do look back and wish I would have invested some time and energy into building discipline and strength. I would have gotten farther, faster, I think. And I probably would have avoided a great deal of embarrassment, but live and learn.
CAN’T she just get money from her 6 baby daddies???
I live in North Little Rock what’s the name of the trail y’all was at? It was beautiful. My son was like I want to go there.
I live alone. I don't have anyone to help me with my situation. Not been eating out or ordering deliveries, have not been taking out coffee, not going out to have fun or meeting friends outside. I don't even shop anything. I only have been eating the cheapest groceries. However, my salary has not been raised and I have been trying so hard to find jobs out there but no luck so far. I have two science bachelor's degrees graduated from good school (not like Harvard or anything though) and this is my life now. I am struggling so much. I am not sure what I am doing wrong..so lost
Special circumstances and collaboration. Lifestyles that have been common and practical for decades are no longer practical and will likely become outdated. Two parent household here with 5, almost 6, kids. Kids aren't actually that expensive. Lifestyles are more often what's expensive. We both have to work full time. We're fortunate to have just enough education and work experience to both have decent jobs. But even with both of us working decent paying jobs, we can't do it only on one income. I mean, we also couldn't very easily do it in a house with less than 4 bedrooms either, but this is a time for everyone to consider a lot of big adjustments. Even we are and we can pay our bills.
You just made me smile so big with your story about the substitute teacher. In high school, I remember looking up from an assignment I was working on on French class to find my French teacher observing me, and then she said the first words I heard her speak in English: "Still waters run deep." That was it, but I knew it was a compliment, and I never could figure what prompted her to see in me what others did not.
Why do I feel like I’m listening to my story hearing the first 10 minutes of this video!!!! Love the video!
Thank you so much I really needed to hear this I am struggling with transition right now and feeling really uncomfortable, but I am ready to take my leap! I have watched your videos since you were in your finance error, and I have always appreciated your content.
I needed this message today. Thank you. The part about motherhood truly brought me to tears, and I agree wholeheartedly about the motivation component
Your message is always so thoughtful thanks for sharing.😊
The biggest life lesson is to live below your means and invest in yourself
Becoming a new first time mom in my 30s was earth shattering, humbling, and exciting-all at once. 1+ years in, I’m still recovering financially, spiritually, physically, and mentally, but now I’m in a phase of grace and gratitude for all-good, “bad”, and necessary. Lean in and lean on God no matter your tribulation 💕
The main lesson I’ve learned thus far is that life is just many periods of transitions. It’s like being on a major interstate/highway and I get off on exits. Some exits I simply only need to ride along the access road that runs along the interstate to get to what I need. Other exits require I go deeper into the area beyond the exit sign that I can’t see from the highway. Then, Life takes me back to the interstate which I accept represents my main journey throughout my earthly existence. The exits are detour to lessons I need for my growth and expansion. I anticipate, welcome and accept ALL the lessons be them good or challenging.
I love your videos
Thank you

I saw this message recently: Life is not going to go as you had planned, tides change and things go in different directions. You can't stop the waves from happening, but you can learn to move with them. They may not take you in the direction you had planned, but they will take you exactly where you are meant to be.
❤❤❤thx for sharing
I love that
I love that❤
Always keep God 1st place while having Self-Love and Self-Care❤
Hi Dyana.
Amen to all of this we are so similar, i havs learnt not to depend on others for validation and feelings of worthiness, for noone else has walked in our shoes and therefore we shouldn't rely on their judgements.
To pour into me. As much as I poor into others. ❤
What lessons have you learned in life so far?
As a single mom myself, my life lesson: Always be self sufficient - NEVER depend on another person for your well being 😊
I've learned that letting go is one of the most difficult things you can do, and I've learned to trust myself to the fullest. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@user-li2vl4yd1x amen
@@karenlampert5499 yes!!
Ride the waves.
Thank you for helping me feel less alone during an extremely difficult time. You advice is sound and practical. Life saving
You all complain, you will compkain more when Trump is president. He will take every penny out of your wallet.
Eat a snack before you leave was spot on 😅
One of the most helpful talks I ever heard so far ! New sub!
STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!!
Well I don't buy $5 coffee's everyday. If you do the math it's more than $50 a month on coffee. 10 days and you already spent $50. Never fool yourself, because you're not going to make it by doing so. I buy bags of coffee grinds at the store for under $8 a bag and it's going to last me a month for sure. Making coffee you still get to smell that coffee aroma. Plus my echo plays music I like to listen. After I fix a pot of coffee, I'm step outside to listen to the birds and that relaxes me for sure. So my budget on coffee is pennies compare to your coffee expense. I cook outdoors a lot, grilling is my thing. That alone saves me money and it's better food and enjoying the moment with nature outdoors. I own my home in rural county, so I don't have that rent or mortgage problems like other's have.
I’m so happy you posted a video I’ve been going through a lot. Recently I really needed to hear this. I hope ur having a good day
Wow this was very confirming of the conversation I had with my life coach and bff this past week ❤
I love everything you talked about. Really quick, Lillies are deadly for cats. You mentioned the Lilly plant. I am a cat mom, and I've seen your precious kitty. But, yes, at 34, I did a deep inner healing journey, learned boundaries, and realized I had really hateful, jealous, draining toxic associations that I was calling friends. I love God with all my heart, and I quit the church. It was hurtful, abusive and deeply traumatic. I never had a good experience, ever. I started healing my traumatic abusive childhood. I'm still on my healing journey. At 46, I'm so blessed, stronger, and free. Oh, btw I have a garden, at a community garden space. It grew and then I messed up and now I'm starting over...but, I have a green thumb. I'm learning about my money. Thank you for all that you give. You are a joy and a blessing. 💖💖💖
Girll yesssss you right on point!!
Eternity will be either spent with Jesus or in hell. You don’t have to fear where you are going after this life is over. You can start today developing a relationship with Jesus. You can make Jesus your Lord and savior today. Also, Jesus can give you peace and a sound mind while on earth. Ask Jesus to come into your heart today. him into your heart. Please read John 3:16
Great video! Your words of wisdom through trial and error resonate. Keep up the great work. Growth is good despite the pitfalls along the way. You are an impressive woman.
Thank you for this. 2020 came and I was unemployed for a few months, then 2021 we moved into our first house which cost a lot of money (the move, furniture, etc), then within a year of this my husband got diagnosed with cancer and has just started going back to work after nearly two years of being on partial disability (majority of time was not working). Oh and he is the major source of income for our household as he makes 2.5 times more than I do based on the type of work he does. It’s been a struggle for sure and on top of that we have had a couple house renovations that needed to be done cause left untouched could have caused larger issues. It’s been incredibly hard and it’s so stressful and discouraging to see people talking about how bad being in debt is. I agree- it sucks but unfortunately certain situations contribute a lot to being in debt and are not always in your control. ❤❤❤
New subbie, this video suggestion came at a great time 🙂 I appreciate you 🙂 I can't wait to listen to more from you, stay blessed, much love.
This was needed. Thank you so much :)
Super helpful as I am starting to do my research on purchasing a home. Very detailed!
are you doing this on your iphone? if so, what are the settings cause it's giving 4D!! :)
Really? I thought it looked blurry lol! And no I film with a Sony ZV1!
The flower bed looks amazing :)
Thank you!!❤
This is so good Dyana!! Thank you for sharing ❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
❤Thank you, OMG it as if you were speaking directly to me. This has been my thoughts and feelings for a long time. I have been wanting to be my own boss but I’m my worst enemy.
The enemy is for sure your mind!!! Don’t let it steal your joy
This is really good content you putva voice to alot of feelings I've been navigating through recently ❤ New subbie🎉❤❤
Welcome!❤
I love the title,that is such beautiful way of put in it but is so true ,most of us we are afraid ❤❤❤keep going thank you for sharing your wisdom
1. Cut from the most expensive: housing, transportation and food. 2. Find a roommate (this is the BIGGEST & MOST IMPORTANT) 3. Find a remote job & move to cheaper locations 4. Get rid of that car payment, pay it off or sell or & buy a cheaper (3-8k cash). Whatever you do, DO NOT GET INTO CAR PAYMENTS! 5. Cook whatever you eat at home from scratch in bulk & freeze. Meal plan. Togo your food everywhere. Whatever you do, don’t buy it make it yourself. Do groceries at Aldi based on produce in season. 6. Unfollow, unlike, unsubscribe any social media account that post on your feeds stuff that triggers you to buy. Those cute house renovations that make you go to Amazon to find the lamp, that swimsuit you saw on Instagram you love etc. if you don’t see it, you won’t fall for it. Make sure you don’t see it. Payoff every debt and stop paying interest. Don’t be the sucker that makes rich people richer.
Thank you thank you for speaking out loud the words I’ve been needing to hear 🕳️ 🪟 🖼️ Beautifully said & beautiful shot 🧗🏻♀️ 🌱 🪴 hope you can keep going with these types of videos too, because it is needed 💕
Thank you for this message. I needed this!❤❤❤
