I experienced burnout after I joined Emirates 

Only those who have been there can truly understand what you are saying....the pressure, the fatigue, the fear of get reported, the minimum rest thing, the tears...the addiction to shopping for shopping.....All this is not intended to discourage people from applying but to let them be aware of the reality and to be prepared for that. People usually don't talk about this side of the job so thanks you did. hope you all the best in life❤

I was flying for 10 years. Your sentiments are exactly what I felt too! Glad to know I am not the only one feeling it

When I hear people sharing stories sometimes i don’t know what to say I try not to let things like this get to me well am a Nigerian being unemployed since 2021 January and this year I decided to submit my application for emirates I no what I faced doing nothing with my life I will focus on my dreams and not let stories like this discourage me am tired of being sad and doing nothing I will do everything that makes me happy for myself and mental health well thanks for sharing your story

wow - you are such a light worker for sure michelle ♡ i only stumbled across your channel just yesterday and i instantly knew it was meant to be! i have resonated with every single thing you've said in each video and this one right here was the biggest confirmation that you were absolutely placed on my path at this very moment in time to help me navigate through this current season - i truly believe that there are absolutely noooo coincidences in life and that everything is divinely orchestrated by the powers that be *°•☆ thank you so soooo much for sharing your story, how inspiring! your honesty, rawness and vulnerability are truly so refreshing and admirable & i soooo appreciate youuuu! you are the most beautiful soul both inside & out ♡ wishing you alllll the love, joy, peace, happiness & abundance in life! i soooo look forward to keeping up w your journey on here :) THANK YOU!! and god bless angel xx

Michelle, thankyou so much for sharing your story and experience, I know it takes courage and energy to stand in front of a camera and tell all these ocurrences. I am glad you are doing better now and you can be with your husband much more time now. I admire the way you communicate a lot. I am an aspiring cabin crew on my way on getting that license, and your videos have been more than resourceful, for the mere fact that you take on topics outside the mere facade people always tend to talk about such as destinations, salaries, perks, but not many people talk about the emotional and physical part this job requires and more than that, the actual extra load certain companies put on their employees, I find it quite amusing and sad at the same time since social media keeps throwing reels and photos of people working for emirates as the perfect picture, with thousands of destinations and stuff, without realizing whats behind the scene. Aside from the aviation/cabin crew context, this video has also helped me a lot personally, since I've recently been in the exact same position were I somedays no longer feel like dealing with the world and the people, and this has encourages me to cut on activities, people and habits that actually make me feel small, bad and not okay, thank you so much once again Ms. Michelle! My apologies for my writing in this comment, its cause as I progressively watched the video, I wanted to express more and more things hahaha. But anyways. Hope you are doing amazing, kind and warm greetings from Costa Rica Ms. Michelle! 😊🇨🇷 P.D: Thank you so much for the resources you attached in the description box as well, I'll sure check them out.

I appreciate this. Thank you for sharing your experience

Thank you for this ,God bless you.

🤗All the BEST for you. You will overcome this situation..... Just give time.... 😉🤗

Boy, do I understand some of your experiences and thoughts so deeply. It's a matter of day for me.

It's my first time commenting on your channel, and I wanted to say thank you for being so well-spoken about your traumatic experience. I want to be a cabin crew for Etihad or Emirates and knowing your experience is genuinely powerful as I will remember to know the limits of my body and also my mental health. I hope that you are feeling much better now after 3 years, and I hope that your journey doesn't end there! Have you found a new job that makes you happy, or have little milestones to regain your beautiful confidence?

I really hope that you will be always happy ❤

Omg your vid just tear me up !! for a bit of context I’m a 22 yo & I joined EK when i was 21. From the very first day of joining, i had that feeling that I wasn’t where I was supposed to be. The six AM shift at the training college, all prepped up, all those sleepless nights crying & missing my beloved, the stress before any assignments & exams, the fear of getting reported for everything and anything… You name it ! Few months after starting, my dad got cancer & it was my breaking point. I decided to resign as soon as i got the news & even tho it was incredibly hard for the very first days, I truly believe that some blessings do come in disguise. After listening to your story, I’m pretty sure that God protected me from the worst. Sometimes He’s taking something away from us to give us something a hundred time better. Some people tend to believe that the cabin crew job (especially at EK) is all about Dubai bling, glamorous & luxury & it’s so nice to see such a down to earth, genuine, inspiring & lovely person talking frankly about it !! (& it would have been a pleasure to operate a flight with u aha !! ) keep glowing ❤ (i’m so sorry for any mistake in my comment, as english isn’t my mother tongue ofc) (PD : i still do some nightmares about SEP assignments omd😭)

Hi Michelle I am obsessed with travel and every year or so go down the YT flight attendant rabbit hole for a week or two two. I found you a couple of days ago and have watched all of your Emirates content. This video here…. this one…. Thank you so so so so so much. This has blessed my soul. And I thank God for putting you in my path.

this is so touching😭😭😭😭

Thank you for sharing.Have you lived in Europe before because you are so well spoken and eloquent.You don't sound Kenyan at all.Ve been through depression before and once had suicidal thoughts so I know what it means

THANKS to be honest

Love your honesty and transparency ❤. I considering to join Emirates, how tall are you?

Thank you god bless you beautiful Tell me please are emirates strict with tiny acne scars

What you call burnout I would call a complete nervous breakdown. And at the end of this podcast, after you read from Timothy, it occurred to me that if you know in your heart and soul that you're on the right path, it doesn't always have to make sense. Knowing absolutely that you're on the right path is enough...

Psalms 91 💪 beautiful thanks

My God daughter wants to be a flight attendant. This has made me feel like this is a bad choice. I will have to pray about how to talk to her about exploring her choices.

you mean no accommodation

You need to see Qatar Airways 100 time worst

Please share more :) the burnout story and anxiety story really helped me and very related to some things I’m going through
