Starting Over at 30 | design school, 100k subs, m3 macbook unboxing

happy valentine’s, unichlos ♡

my new life has begun with design school starting, hitting 100k, and all kinds of new doors opening. my life is currently at the biggest metaphorical intersection it's ever been, and i can go in any direction.

instead of conforming to what i always have in the last decade of my career, i think it's time to be a lil bold and steer out of my lane to give an honest shot at something new.

here’s to starting over again at 30!

i hope you’re all showered with love today ‧₊˚❀₊˚. whether you’re surrounded by your friends, fam, significant others, or even doing some self care!

(u deserve it bbs)

love,
chlo

PS. I'm currently watching 7th Time Loop on Crunchyroll and I am OBSESSED. I love time loops so much. UGH. One of my FAVE tropes.

Right on! As a product manager at a technology company I bounce between pm and video game development. I realized having a game development background really helped me in my pm path as well as providing multiple options. You’ll rock it! Enjoy the journey! Also it’s never too late. I stated to learn to become a pilot at 39.

Friends, I see a lot of you all saying you're starting over at 30, and I am proud of you all. I am 44 starting over, and I have no shame. I stayed in a career too long for loyalty to everybody but me. So just know, as long as God gives you another day, you can make a new way! Blessings to all of us who seek a better life and path

I am just starting over at 34 after I finally got the balls to follow my passion and allow myself to become a travel blogger. Your video was just what I needed. Thank you!

[jennykim]

Wow you have no idea how healing for me it was to see another woman who was 30 years old starting over!!! Thank you and looking forward to walking through this journey of starting over with you (digitally haha)

[Tsholii_Belle]

I just started over in ui/ux design and im 31 and seeing this was very affirming for me because I really put it off coz I felt I was too old. Thank you for this ❤

[marinekaufmann]

thank u so much for making this! i got misty eyed watching this❤ you have a way with words and your perspective is very insightful.

[sotirikolvani]

Starting over at 30!! Same here! It is scary but we only live once 🙌
Excited for your upcoming podcast 👍

Design school looks so fun! I've been working on my design eye through running my university club's social media, and it's definitely not something I new how to execute before I started! Knowing what looks good and knowing the how and why are two different skills, but I hope upskilling in this area can reap some benefits going forward!

also highkey obsessed with the "good soup" sweatshirt. such a cute blue color!

[CheRhys]

I’m excited to hear more about your design classes and book recommendations!!

[MichaelHalsell]

Awesome you are repurposing your skillset. I work in the New York advertising market for 20 years. So, I was able to relate to the excitement. Keep throwing out that positive energy!

[isa_degrain]

Thank you for your videos! Taking the time to heal from a brain injury makes me feel so behind my peers. Seeing your videos and reading the comments makes me realise that maybe I'm not so behind after all. Maybe just maybe I'm on my own time line and everything will work out. Thank you for the hope.

I've been getting into graphic design and fonts from a hobbyist perspective, Comic Sans is a meme now. So much cool stuff to learn about fonts good luck with school!

[essayem-creative]

I really enjoy exploring new interests. I began as a writer/producer but soon found myself drawn to design and video editing. It's pretty cool how learning both has made me a more well-rounded creative, helping me offer better feedback and develop ideas more effectively. So jealous of the typography class!

[Shaikah]

Positivity all around the first minute I started ❤following you girl & congratulations on 100k 😊 I’m a graphic designer & totally 💯 supporter in your new path 🎉

[Localflavorzz]

congrats chlooo!! much deserved 100k and look now you're already at 129!!!

[himjanand]

I love your smile! And your sanguine nature…never lose them

[gastronomee_]

fellow young creator here - loved this so much. i can relate to so much of what you said. starting over can be scary, but what's even scarier is staying in something you know you aren't passionate about / don't remotely care about. your videos rock! they're cinematic, hilarious, touching, and feel like a friend all at the same time. you're part of the reason i started my own channel and you inspire me every day.

[heatherogoussan]

I have started over several times just in different areas of my life. Marriage, kids, etc... changes things. I'm 45 and starting over with work. I had to leave teaching to stay home with my girls for health reasons. My youngest needed 24/7 care. Now, I am trying to work from home now that she's 7 and doesn't need 100% mommy time. Now it's 90% or less on good days. Starting over is wonderful because it's a whole new chapter of your life with blank pages to be filled my you.

You give out such holistic, entertaining, and meaningful content, so happy for you Chloe! 🤗💖

I’m SO EXCITED for your design era ✨

[graciekang]

Your life is so inspiring and also down to earth like catching up with a friend.
