00:00:00.000 Having kids was one of the catalysts that changed my priorities like so completely that I almost
00:00:08.080 didn't even recognize myself. What's going on guys? Welcome to my reaction series today. We
00:00:12.500 are going to react to a woman talking about how her job doesn't matter and realizing she wasted 1.00
00:00:18.620 her life. Career woman. Okay. A hundred percent. I used to be a career woman. All I wanted was to 0.62
00:00:25.340 focus on my career. I wanted to live at the office Monday to Friday. I wanted to work hard,
00:00:31.880 play hard. I wanted to climb the ladder. I wanted to make lots of money. I wanted to have a fancy
00:00:38.760 job title. And now at age 39, I find myself sitting in the parking lot of a garden center store.
00:00:46.640 Talking to you guys, waiting to go in to get some stuff to repot this massive monster plant that I
00:00:53.420 have got that has gotten out of control of my house wait to the end of the video if you want
00:00:58.700 to see me repot this monster it's gonna be a mission so what happened i'm gonna be honest
00:01:04.280 with you i did not pre-plan this video so everything i'm saying is just from the heart
00:01:09.100 oh my god get to the point oh my gosh i've been doing reactions all day is this how you guys feel
00:01:19.880 but we just can't answer questions. I woke up from the matrix. I don't think there's any
00:01:26.260 more succinct. The translation is she woke up from the matrix because she was unsuccessful.
00:01:32.500 Best believe that if she was a successful businesswoman, she would just keep going.
00:01:36.740 Way of saying what happened to me. I woke up from the matrix at 38, I guess at the time.
00:01:43.380 And I'm really impressed by people who are waking up from this matrix much younger than me. And I
00:01:48.740 know that some people don't do it until they're much older than me so so I'm glad that I did it
00:01:53.580 when I did because now I've got hopefully some time left in my life to enjoy a different kind
00:01:59.740 of lifestyle so yeah I used to be that yeah unfortunately you're going to be enslaved to
00:02:05.880 your poor decisions of your 20s 30s and 40s and you're probably not going to get a different type 1.00
00:02:10.540 of lifestyle so good luck ladies have fun woman who would dress in like pencil skirts and high
00:02:16.300 heels and strut around the office feeling really important i used to compare myself to other people
00:02:22.140 who are my age and if i made more money than than them or if i had a more impressive sounding job
00:02:29.420 title than them then i felt really good about myself you know and then i think in my mid 30s
00:02:36.300 maybe even early 30s a whole bunch of stuff happened at once the first is that i had kids
00:02:42.940 now i sort of hate being just another stereotype of a woman who was one way before having kids
00:02:51.260 and became another way after having kids but that's what happened and i'm just going to admit
00:02:56.700 it that's what happened having kids was one of the catalysts that changed my priorities like
00:03:04.540 so completely that i almost didn't even recognize myself but it's not just kids after years of
00:03:11.420 living this sort of high stress, always on the go, work hard, play hard lifestyle, that stuff
00:03:19.080 started to catch up with me physically. I started to experience chronic stress that just never
00:03:26.620 really went away. I started having sleep problems. I started feeling tired all the time, you know,
00:03:33.220 relying more and more on coffee in the mornings and then wine in the evenings, right? Like you've
00:03:38.320 heard about that. It's such a stereotype. I became kind of a boring person. I lost interest in
00:03:43.580 hobbies. I couldn't really do anything creative anymore. I couldn't keep up with tidying the
00:03:49.020 house and, you know, having an untidy space also stresses me out. So I had all this stress. I
00:03:55.740 couldn't stay on top of it. I was having mom guilt because I felt like I wasn't taking care of my
00:04:02.160 babies the way that I should have. She knew deep down she wasn't. And also what kind of mother is
00:04:08.140 drinking wine every single night dude no i had to go back to work when they were still babies
00:04:13.780 it was just stress and exhaustion and mom guilt and all that stuff that i think so many people go
00:04:22.900 through um but they just kind of keep powering on and one day i was just like hang on a minute
00:04:31.040 what is this life that i'm living and i think if i could really condense into a succinct statement
00:04:38.060 And what made me wake up from the matrix, it was the realization that no company I ever worked for, maybe no company on this planet, really cares about a person on a human level.
00:04:58.360 And there's no job on this planet that isn't replaceable at the drop of a hat.
00:05:06.160 Because at the end of the day, they have to be sociopathic to some level because if the numbers go down, you're done.
00:05:12.760 You can't cut your grandma, right? 1.00
00:05:14.460 But you can cut whoever the random Pajid is or woman is that's working for you. 1.00
00:05:20.260 There is no company on this planet that will crash and burn just because their most loyal employee has retired or left for other reasons.
00:05:31.840 People on a human level don't matter to companies.
00:05:38.540 So why give our humanity to these companies?
00:05:44.680 Why am I not giving my humanity to the people that do matter, which are my closest loved ones and myself?
00:05:55.140 Well, yeah, a lot of times they'll chew you up and spit you out too.
00:05:58.580 it's you know life in this world you're born alone you die alone it is what it is i want to
00:06:03.700 hear your thoughts about this because i don't know if it's a generational thing yeah all right
00:06:09.140 guys um so older and older um millennial women are gonna keep realizing that everything was a lie
00:06:14.500 um but but the it's gonna be easy for them to like say it was a lie instead of you know saying
00:06:21.820 it was actually my poor character so i think that's really what women are going to default to
00:06:25.600 so anyways guys let me know you think in the comments like the video if you can 0.98
