    Thank you for sharing this! My family aren’t immigrants but just the way the world changed from their generation to mine meant that we could live so much better lives with so much more opportunities that they had no access to. I could relate so much to this video and it makes me feel less alone ❤ subscribed!!!

    I really dig the self-reflection Notion template! It's something that I've started to systematize in my life too, though right now my routine is a single "reflect on my north star" checkbox in my end-of-week checklist. Is the Notion template something that could be shared? Would be curious about giving it a try. 🤔

    Starting your own startup sounds incredible, Jenny! 🤩Especially when you mentioned the independence, it really resonated with me. But I can also imagine going from a team to solo can feel isolating. Lots of new founders experience that - long hours can make it tough to connect, even though you're building something amazing! I've created a program to manage these feelings, and I'd be happy to chat and see if there's anything I can share to help you navigate those early stages ❤

I'd love to help enhance your videos content. I'd appreciate your feedback

    I loved your video and found your presentation and reflections so helpful for those planning to begin a similar journey. I'm building a readiness checklist and reminding myself "there's never a perfect time", "the biggest risk is not taking a risk". Your messaging about courage compounds on itself and asking oneself would you rather risk security or risk losing the inner fire or inner drive really resonated.

    Thank you for sharing! I’m a first gen as well. I can relate to your experience on many different levels, even though we probably had different upbringings. In my family, it is expected that I help take care of my grandparents and provide financial support to my parents during their retirement. While my parents have accumulated some wealth over their careers, the fact that they are overseas leaves me uncertain about what the future holds. I often find myself asking the question: If the world were to end, do I have the financial means to support myself and my family? Sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. I also have the desire to eventually start something on my own, but I grapple with a sense of guilt that I would "abandon my family" to pursue my own aspirations. I appreciate you sharing your story, and I am incredibly proud of what you have accomplished! Looking forwards to more of your videos!!

  • @amy_jenny

    Hey there! Honestly, that question doesn't sound ridiculous at all - I remember asking myself variations of that same question in the past - just want you to know you're not alone in feeling this way 🥲 Appreciate the kind words and your support!
