Let me know down below what you wish you knew 👇🏼

This was a compassionate and smart message. Thanks, Gabi!

I wish I had known that the "In Crowd" was generally not virtuous, not kind, not helpful to others, not inclusive or truthful, not positive. I'm thankful I'm learning that "friends", who really aren't, are not my judges and are not the people I need, or want in my life. I want to be kind and helpful and uplifting to others.

Knowing your worth is everythin! Be selective about who you let into your life and who you spend your time on. You can't go back.

I wish I wasn’t always in a hurry for the next chapter in life and didn’t settle for less than I deserved. It wasn’t until I learned to slow down and listen to myself that I learned I deserved more. Life is not a dress rehearsal. We only get to do it once. Slow down and live each day because when you’re in a hurry you miss the good stuff ❤

I wish I knew it was ok to tell people “no”
I was way too much of a people pleaser

[PJwithheart]

I wish I knew that “work” doesn’t have to mean a 40-60 hour workweek. A person can work 20 hrs/wk and make a good living 😊

[jen.nightingale]

I absolutely love this and couldn't have said it any better!😊❤😊❤

I want you for my therapist! You said more constructive advice than I’ve heard in a while! Especially about talking. I blabber incessantly! The more anxious, the more words! Plus I just now am working on a huge, life changing, goal & it is so hard not to sit & give up because it’s too big! I’ve just made a plan to achieve it over a month or two. Doing a bit every day. Such good advice! I wish I knew that in my 20’s. I wish I’d known I would never have children because of bad uterine issues & that I would become severely mentally ill the older I got by things already lurking in my body that I only slightly grasped were there & starting to grow to eventual total game over! Mind crash after mind crash after mind crash! Disabled & hopeless. I wish I’d had a plan to deal with what was coming! Although, I wouldn’t have believed how bad it could get even though I was a pessimist. I had a ton more optimism than I thought back then! Now, it’s a struggle to move, live, eat, shower, brush my teeth, wash my face. The only thing I do is take care of my cat the best I’m able. She matters. Thank you for this video Gabi! I will try those things! ♥️
ps I’d like to add that my faith in God is all that kept me alive, if you get my meaning. Even in my darkest days, which I’ve never left, I clung/cling to the belief that he loved/loves me & had/has a plan for me.

I’m stronger than I thought. Follow my passion.

39🙋🏽‍♀️ and just starting to realize numbers 4 and 5. You and Tenille (another content creator) are my honorary big sisters!😁 thanks so much for always being so transparent and optimistic🥰

[sarathornton]

Exceptionally wise words from a especially beautiful lady!

[stayk]

Sooo well said! & I wish my 47y/o self could go back & tell my 20y/o self these tips. & then some. But we all know how the little things seem SO large! Not until we get older we learn not to sweat the small stuff. Life is funny like that.

[maureenturk]

I would probably have at least a dozen things I’d change about my twenties. The biggest is self confidence. I was self critical, and no makeup or skincare will change that. Self acceptance and positive self talk has to be learned by many of us. The earlier you grasp it, the better! ❤

[ARC-chfw]

That everyone is struggling with something and perfect doesn’t exist. Just relax and be you.

[sairralax]

Love your perspective. Let it continue to guide you. Especially your final tenet.

[LizMillsapsHaigler]

I would tell myself:
Your body is gorgeous! Take lots of photos of it.
Watch your purse at Whispers when you get back from NYC.
Just don't tan at all - you have the most coveted skin in the world - stockpile Paba sunscreen b/c they will ban it w/out another effective sunscreen for years & put sunscreen on the backs of your hand when driving.
Go on a date w/Steve H - he's the one! (Which I didn't figure out for another 26 years)

[LenaSheppard]

Thank you for being encouraging and beautiful and relatable and real. Thank you for not letting your platform get to your head.
Thank you for being here for me !

I really needed to hear #5 because I’ve been planning my college applications, scholarships, and career since fifth grade and I drained myself. I plan for the future and not for right now because I can’t slack off if I want to succeed. At least, that’s what I told myself. I have panic attacks from the smallest things. I can barely finish my math homework or even remember that I need to eat to stay alive. Idk where the pressure came from since my parents never cared to check my grades, but it’s there and it’s crushing me. I’d say that I need a break but that would just make things harder. Taking things one step at a time, even if it’s a really tiny step is a great idea. Thank you for the reminder. Sorry for anyone who suffered through this rant.😅

Everything you said is so true and such great advice! Thank you!❤❤

[sirenedemer]

Thank you ❤ I need it to hear all that today ❤️ you’re amazing and full of inspiration ❤️
