life in my 30s, what inspires me, tattoo meaning, future plans? | Q&A 

im already in my 30 and i started creating new career bcoz of your videos i have learned to stop worry and restart my career thank you. your videos invigorates me. love from india

"I'm here to live a full life for myself" YES!

I finally found a RU-vidr who thinks like me, but knows way more. You are my biggest inspiration

I love the openness, honesty and vulnerability of your videos. You show that it’s ok if things don’t always work out perfectly. Life is a journey and as long as we are learning along the way and becoming the best version of ourselves that is ok:)

congrats to your ten years anniversary aileen , i am so proud of you!!🤍 your videos helped me drastically to start my healing and growing journey, to form my mindset. i watch you for years, your affiramtions became my everyday ritual this year and i just want to thank you for everything!! hearing my question as the first sentence in a video 🥹🤍 oh my god i have no words, it feels so special to be a part of your video in this way.

Have been following your channel since long! It has been life-changing ❤

Good luck with your book Aileen🤎. So excited!!! Love you so much!

Nature inspires me the most! Animals, plants, flowers, landscapes, it's an endless source of inspiration!

Can’t wait to get my hands on your book 📖 🎀 It will be a huge success ✨

Thank you Lavendaire. It feels like you’re a big sister I could always look up too! Happy 10th Anniversary 🥳🥳🥳 I resonated with your answer in the related to “What’s your plan in 10 years?” (Hopefully I remember it right 😅) I agree life needs to be joyful because we’ll never know in life!!!

Love ur videos and u re so inspirational . Love ur meditations 😊🌸 u should do more of them ❤

Im 28 and I recently chose to “retire” from nursing after 9 years to just choose myself and learn myself😮‍💨I had no idea the shadows that were lurking beneath my lil Cancer shell😅….. detaching my external world from my internal world is quite the journey but youve made this process so much easier to navigate so I’m so eternally grateful for you shining your authentic radiant light✨❤️‍🔥✨ I’m also a fellow INFJ so there were so many things you shared that I innerstood 😂 Love you! Thanks for sharing 🫶🏾

things that inspire me right now is just going to concerts, i mean it's not just concerts, sometimes i also get to travel to other countries too because of that. i also love to write every week. seeing your video while i am eating is just, feeling so lighthearted💖 i hope you keep doing this and hope it's always bringing you joy! btw i am also infj haha i'm 29 now and just have a feeling that i may need to cut off some friends and then i saw this video, i guess being 30 is full with quality friends and the ones that cheer you up for real.

So good to see you growing and evolving 💜💜💜.love you 🤗

My moto for life is being happy + something that gives me joy inspires me Same time I am. A multi passionate person !

You are soo inspiring and amazing girl!💜😊

Watching this video made me realise what a lovely person Aileen is! Your videos, affirmations, meditations are just pure ❤ And about 30s... It's so true! I turned 30 last year & you actually see a difference in yourself in a good way! God bless you Aileen 🌻

I understand what you mean to listen to when your body is ready when i was 35 i felt like my mind, body, relationship was ready for a baby. Now i'm a mom and i love it was a huge life change but i have no regrets. I lived very well before i had my child and i can say i was ready to have a different life with children. ❤

You are such an inspiring person. This was so informative and really fun to watch . ❤ I’m saying yes to joy too this year !

Loved this!! You're such a lovely human!😘😘😘

Such a nice and warm video ❤ Also, I can relate to many things you shared as someone who has been developing her own media project for 10 years.

You're so inspiring💖

Love your q&a's ❤

Wow I can't wait to buy your book😍😍 you always have great advice and is such a wise person, whom I admire a lot!🙏

I've been watching your videos for 4 years now. I will proudly say this is my comfort channel

Courage inspires me the most in life 🩷🩷🩷

I enjoyed this video so much ❤ I wish you luck for your book ❤

thanks for inspiration !! i got a lot of engery from video! and for many drawning time , it is like the sunshine guiding me to live , to believe

Second comment from Uruguay. From a fellow INFJ and type 4 also. Happy to see your growth, been watching you for years. Your house is stunning I might add

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Your words encouraging me a lot. Since I am also a INFJ , I was introverted and it is difficult to go out and open up to peoples. But seeing you giving me some thoughts that maybe I can also break out of my shell and reach to new peoples, new version of me. Love you ~ also, you become more and more beautiful my dear ❤❤

Thanks for sharing your growth journey with us, Aileen! I feel like we are so similar in many ways. I hope we get to meet in person and hang out someday. I just moved from MN to the Bay Area two years ago. My Myers-Briggs personality type is also INFJ! I also started out my RU-vid channel as a singer, covering songs and releasing originals. I graduated from college back in 2016 and felt lost for a long time. I stumbled upon your channel in 2017 or 2018 and been following your content since. You are truly an inspiration! Last year, when I got laid off from my full time job at a tech company. I really felt like "that's it", no more 9-5 jobs. I'm 30 now and have been neglecting my creativity and artist soul for the most part. I want to content create full time But it's been such an emotional and mental challenging journey while struggling financially too. The dream life just seems so so far away. But I'm so glad you achieved your dream life of living according to your inner joy and inner child ❤🎉😊

I find the outdoors inspiring

Saying "yes to joy this year"I love that. ❤

so inspiringggggg.. love you lavendaire!

Omg!! I can't wait to read your book!!! 📖😮💓

Can’t wait for the book❤❤❤

🌟🩷YES!! Finally your book is coming!🩷🌟

Thank you for all your contents.

I was working on my homemade Health Journal as i was listening to this. And what inspires me most in life are not only my adventures that I take, especially the "f*ck it" ones, but it has also grown to be snowboarding. I think we really don't give our inner child enough credit. The things that we wanted as children and were interested in doing, there's a reason for that. And adventures can be expensive, and it is a lot of go go going. So it's not always ideal for me to always be taking an adventure. I'm not talking about travel. I'm talking about experiences. Sometimes when you do something too much it becomes a chore. It really has to be something you do every so often to break the routine of things, but when I was having heaps of health issues, chaos in my life, and just questioning my purpose I have found myself through snowboarding. I've always wanted to learn since I was a child, didn't have the money to, nor the time, until last year. And here I am. My progress is insane. I'm 32 and I struggled with a lot of people still in my life, even at my age! I truly learned to understand the people that are there for you at your lowest aren't necessarily your people because misery loves company, and people want to see you do well but not better than them. The snowboarding community, the regulars at least, they're some of the most genuine and kind people. Everyone wants to see you do well. Everyone is so dope. Funny enough, THEY ALL JOURNAL! What a crazy world I stumbled into! For awhile I felt shy and embarrassed I had this introverted side to me, but then I found out that after every snowboarding session, these people journal just like I do. And life started to make sense again, and everything started to fall together again. And now I don't feel the need to hide this version of me. While other people make it seem like you're an alien because you're an extrovert who journals or uses a planner. Or you mix two vastly different hobbies/passions together. People LOVE to put themselves, and others, into boxes. And I'm just going to say, those people aren't your people. They never will be. It takes time though. I met the man I prayed for within this sport. I remember asking for specific things over 5 years ago! Manifestation really does work. It's scary! Cool but scary! I've been single for over 5 years. And it's just been absolutely beautiful getting to know each other and dating each other and having this passion we share together, that I can learn from from him. And he even says I inspire him. We just have similar energy, the same end goals, wants, values, etc. Understanding life really happens exactly how it's supposed to and not on the timeline like you want, like you said a few times, is absolutely beautiful. That was a roundabout way of saying, snowboarding mainly inspires me, and of course my adventures! I recently got all my health results back from all my issues from the last year I'M IN THE BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE. Every issue I had cleared up. And it's all thanks to snowboarding! And it is insane, and I know and believe things are just going to keep getting better! I'm excited!

I have been watching your videos since 2021, it feels like an elder sister guiding us with so much love n affection and positive vibes. Lysm!!... huge fan from India🇮🇳❤️

Resently l started to watch your videos and I am always downloading . However I have spent almost half in my life .But I always felt kind of emptyness.After watching many videos ,I realized I have not come true my own dreams .I am still stuk in some where not belong to me.I am seriously worry ing ,why didnt we have such inspiring videos in our young age. Thank you💖 You really inspired me .

I want to live a beautiful life, doing what I love - to inspire others, and help people.

OMG .... Book!!!! ❤🎉 Congratulations on that. I hope you will read this message. You have changed so many of my mindsets. One of the things that inspires me is your videos. I remember listening to your podcast and binging your videos four years ago. I still have a lot to learn from you. I think mindset is more important than we think, you have helped me change my perspectives, I've realised a lot about myself because of your wisdom. I'm so glad that you decided to share this with the world now you help so many people. ❤ I'm not kidding, on low days, gloomy days.....If I watch your videos, I know I'll feel so much better. Sharing the knowledge that you've gained with the people, changing people's lives, I think this is the greatest thing in the world. Because I will never forget how you helped me to evolve as a person ❤❤❤

My growth really inspires me.

It's my first time to comment here from Korea😄 I love listening your videos while studying! thank you for sharing good ideas 한국어 공부도 파이팅이에요 :)

I'm also gonna see IU this year in Berlin. I am so excited.-. also the most I've ever spent on a ticket.

Inspiring video 😊 have been following your yt channel since longgg 👯‍♀️ regards from Spain

Your video not only for me to learn English well and also learn to have a positive mindset, your voice is beautiful so that makes me like your video very much, I am from Hong Kong

What inspires me most in life is nature art and music . Feel my happiest singing along to songs I love on spotify and in nature by the sea and when viewing beautiful pieces of art. Claude Monet in particular.

Always love an unexpected “IU” reference. Don’t listen to much kpop but endlessly fascinated and sometimes horrified by the business side of the kpop industry. IU is a case study and unicorn. In a brutal “what’s next” industry she has been insanely resilient and able to stay on top for more than a decade.

Happy 10th-anniversary, lavendaire and Aileen🎉 I've been a subscriber for a long time, around 2016/2017. I was always that silent viewer, haha😅I discovered your channel while in college and was struggling. Your videos helped me find the motivation to finish my degree and start my career. However, I honestly feel lost right now and second-guessing if this career is really for me. I think I'm experiencing the same phase that you experienced in 2012 (post-graduation+quarter-life crisis), but I'm trusting the process. Your videos remind me time and time again that life is an art and that we get to choose to make it our masterpiece. I also noticed you look even more calm, grounded, beautiful, and just giving authentic energy💖, sending you light and love from the Philippines

I love this video SO much ❤❤❤ I don't even have the appropriate words to describe how good it is 😆😆 Even that headband is so pretty and looks so magical on you 🧚🏻 And you look so perfect wearing it ✨ Plus you make me feel so happy and proud for having picked up on the significant symbolic meaning behind your making your new home 💗 It's a confirmation that I genuinely like you as a creator 😍 PS I still want that damaged mint workbook from the cottage core rehearsal 😹

A few years ago, I did write a comment on Lavendaire Facebook page (I think) that I would love to read a book written by Aileen one day. And then, when I was asked, what kind of book I would like her to write, I couldn't answer because I would love anything that she writes since I love her way of thinking. Pretty soon, I'm going to see it comes true and I will make sure to buy her book when it comes out. Thank you for all these years, Lavendaire ❤

Hii, Today is my birthday and it is your channel anniversary as well. I’m so happy for both of us right now!! 🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations 🎊 I am from Pakistan and following you so long and have the same feelings to find ture and authentic self. I can't purchase your journal for some reason, but I made likewise for myself love to hear you on podcast and waiting for your book also.

I love Music Aileen I play metal guitar and piano it's awesome music takes you places that makes you feel something special 🤘

What a Transformation 🙏👌😊

I've been following you for years and really enjoy your videos. A small note: I've heard you mention more than once that "no one was talking about this" when you first started and I'd like to gently push back on that. Many people were, some of which were on RU-vid as well. Marie Forleo is one of them that I know you've come across as well, your comments on her old videos show up among the first few ones for me since I follow you. You've definitely created a lovely, special community that I'm glad to be part of, but so have many others on here, some before, some after you, and I can't see how claiming you or X or Y were the first helps or inspires others.

I have overcome burnout as well🙌🏼

I am looking forward to your book❤

I love this chat

First comment from Philippines ❤️

Financial security inspires me the most right now.

Sister I have always been following you since 2019, a guy came to my life this year and I first thought to push him away from me and to not get attached to him. At first he was like 'oh I love you so much and I will never leave you, I am not like others you can trust me'. Months passed and I got feelings for him. Suddenly he found another girl and said he does not feel anything for me. I begged him a lot, I always kept my self respect and ego aside for him. But he left me crying when I needed him the most for support. I am 18 years old. And I really feel depressed. Hope you will reply. Thanks ❤

I heard you talking about wanting write a book since before, been looking forward to it since then! 😍 (been watching your youtube since long time ago) Btw do you know what genre your book will be about? 🥰

Still waiting on that video about lessons learned from your relationship with Wilson! You're practically married having been together for so long haha

Plz bring back monthly favourites

*when I turned 30, I actually started to value life in a different way and see the beauty in life on a different level....which was so unexpected because in my 20's I didn't give a FAWWKK about anything lol.*

❤

Lavendaire: "20s are the years when you are figuring things out, figuring what you want to do" Me: being in that era at the age of 16
