Thank you for being patient with me after all these months! Hope you enjoyed this update. Let me know below, what are your current challenges and questions?
Glad that your husband is doing better and that you were able to be there for him and your children. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities, helps me to not feel so alone. Post COVID has been tough for us all. I can relate to putting myself behind others. It’s a back and forth process for taking care of self. Thank you for this message.
Happy to see you back Linda. I encourage you to stay strong and positive throughout the life challenges that you've been experiencing! God is great! Nothing impossible in his eyes! Please trust God and pour all of your challenges before God, He will make path for you and Your family! Once again, Happy to see you. I was surprised to see your e mail after long time! God is good!
I have dealt with this all my life ia m 60 + ,then I have no opinion because iam a gen X. Thanks for this video and iam sharing rdthis with my son since he's struggling with something. Thanks for being your authentic self ❤. Iam greatful for your input on life. I loo forward to seeing your next video on helping us people ti get our better life with a better job to be really happy🎉 to contribute to this world !
Wow! God is good!!! I'm so happy you're husband is better and well. God bless you and your family for pulling through such a test! 🎉🙏🏾🥰💯 Thank you for sharing your testimony. Thank you so very much for all of your helpful videos on interviews. I've no doubt gotten my current job 4 years ago with your lessons. I have another interview today for an internal position within the company and came right to your page for a brush up. May you and your family continue to be blessed and remain steadfast. I appreciate you. ❤🙏🏾🥰💯💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️
Only seeing this now. I am so sorry Linda and thank God that he made your husband better...he was able to give you strength to support him. May he continue to see him and your family through. You changed my life in 2018, when i discovered your channel. I got to be confident about my approcah when it comes to interview and that was all because of you. Thank you so much and i pray for better for you.
Such a powerful story and message. I’ve been a stay at home dad for the last year and half and it has been a struggle emotionally. I know I should see a therapist to unpack a lot of issues from my childhood up to now. I appreciate your perspective on how we need to look inward and not expect the outside world to give us the gratification in order to feel better about ourselves. Thank you for your authenticity.
I am kicking myself because I left a good (but extremely stressful) paying job for one that I don’t enjoy at all. It’s like everything about it says you don’t belong here but I am having trouble determining where I do belong. I left my last job with the intent to start my own business but then that didn’t happen the way I hoped and now I’m just basically working to pay bills. I feel so lost and defeated.
Linda! OMG! We love you so much. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Thanks for sharing your experience. As a mom of 4 children, I know how hard it is to be a full-time mom and run a business, let alone a cancer diagnosis. My father had cancer years ago and it's such a scary road. Your family comes first and nothing else matters. Just know that we in the community love you so much and we know you have the strength to move forward with your family and life. ❤
In life there are circumstances that comes to give us a different perspective of life and how we live it. But the most important thing is how one comes out of it. There's a saying that " life gives us a test which teaches a lesson but education gives us a lesson that we'll be tested on." I'm happy to hear how, your family's situation has built a courageous woman like you even though it wasn't easy.. I like what you said about energy, which is why people need to know whether they're Christians or non-Christians that things start in the Spiritual realm before it manifests in the Physical realm for example "Job's story explains it best in the Bible." Another thing it's about"Self-esteem,self- doubt & thinking about what others will say, that's what made "King Saul in the Bible" lose his thorn because of it... which is important to always remember what "King Solomon in the Bible (Proverbs 18:2) said that whether you do good or bad people will always be opinionated about your life decisions.
Hi Linda. I’m so sorry hear about your husband’s diagnosis 😢. I work as a clinical research coordinator for cancer and see patients on study trials and see how difficult it can be for them to go through a lot that can change their lives. I hope all the best for you and your family!
Sorry to hear about your husband illness. God bless you and your husband. Life will always throw the challenges whenever there is an evil. Evil is nothing but absence of God. When we forget God the evil things take place. Please remember God has made all these five elements in our body, so he has right to take anything. But we can always get courage by chanting / remembering God through gratitude and appreciation. My challenges in life that I did not find my dream job due to lack of confidence and self-doubts leading to procrastinate my execution of efforts. This happens when a person over think and think too much about family, life partner and growing children. So I am trying remove all these blockages created by myself only. Though it is taking time to heal but I am always positive and to remain positive one's energy should not be down. And please remember - Love Heals Everyone.
I struggle with OCD (was diagnosed at 8 years old) and basically I'm haunted by these thoughts that I know nothing and that I might as well remain silent for the rest of my life because I have nothing valuable to add, no opinions, no nothing. I feel like I'm not enough in many aspects as well. It drives me crazy and sucks my energy and will to even live.
Wow! That blows me out when hearing that there is always us judging selves not outsiders. I feel so relieved after this. Thanks for sharing your story Linda and I would like to appreciate you more about the insight of that part. Hope all the best to you and your family.
You are truly one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your story. Praying for your husband’s complete healing. I couldn’t agree with you more when you discuss personal satisfaction comes from doing the work to be truly authentic. You have always done a great job at coaching and offering your expertise but your story of resilience is even more inspiring.
Dear Linda, Keeping you and your husband in my prayers. I'm going through some rather difficulty challenges and I love the pearls of wisdom you have shared. Please continue to share whatever you are being guided to share with the world; for I do feel as though you are being Divinely guided to do so. I salute you for staying true to your true authentic self. May God continue to bless and keep you and yours in the palms of his hands.....
Thank you for sharing and glad to hear that your husband is doing well. Wishing you and your family all the best. Prayers to your family and healing 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing, Linda, your videos were very instrumental in getting me through a very difficult phase in my career (executive level) a few years ago. The work you did really impacted a family of five and to this day, I am very grateful for the work you have done and continue to do. I hope you continue to take time for yourself and sharpen the saw as in the words from Dave Covey and continue to thrive...
Pray for you and your family. I am a working mom luckily with only one 1-year old. It took a lot of time for me to regain the balance of my life. My healing came from the reading + staying away from phone. I read whenever I have time and it really cured me and eased my tension.
Thank you for sharing your story and learnings. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis, but glad to hear he is doing well, and how well you've progressed with healing. ❤
Hi Linda, I always listened to your advice but recently I was stunned by your revelation & I am with you because it happened also to me. My wife was diagnosed of stage 4 breast cancer & until now we're still struggling. So be strong.Because I believe this trials will passby.
So excited to see you back! I'm a highly sensitive person too, and understand so much! Wonderful to know that your husband has recovered, and that you've been on this challenging but amazing healing journey. Really happy to see you back :)
Oh Linda - thank you so much for sharing this openly with us all. I can only imagine how difficult this time was for you and your husband. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes of creator life, and I have no doubt how grateful he was to have you by his side during this time. Sending you so much love!
You emphasis on asking ourselves if we are really comfortable in our own skin especially in situations like work, family, or social gatherings where it can be easy to lose our authentic selves. I have a few questions on this topic: a) How do you generally define what "comfort" means for an individual? b) What if my comfort is causing discomfort for others? c) How do I strike a balance between my comfort and not making others uncomfortable? Thank you for providing an open platform for questions. I'm eager to hear your insights on this. ❤
Hello Linda, Thanks for sharing the news with us.. Thank God that your husband is completely recovering.. great job both of you by being positive! My prayers for you & your family.
I think we need to learn we are worthy. Worthy of being loved, worthy of being chosen for the job. Worthy of good things. Giving us permission to be authentic and not worry about it. Also, praying for you and your husband’s complete healing.
Wishing you and your family the best. You should be proud of what you have done; your a great wife. Your husband and kids are very lucky and blessed to have you in their life. Not everyone is as blessed as they are.
Hi Linda, We pray for your husband and families. I must say that your familly is very lucky to have you because you are such a true and great person. We wish you all the best and send you all the love from God.
Hey Linda, Thank you for the great professional career advice you have been providing for all these years. Sorry to hear about your recent challenges but inspiring to hear how you see these challenges as a way to learn, grow and improve yourself and your family. I pray that God gives you continued strength and prosperity.
In the last 9 months my dad was also diagnosed with Liver Cancer and he unfortunately passed away. Due to his illness I have learnt a lot about Cancer please reach out to me if you think I can help.
I’m not typically one to make comments but I can relate to your story. I started following you about a year ago because I had recently went through a separation and was suddenly trying to support my 2 teenagers with a low paying job. Then in the end of Feb 2023 I was diagnosed with cancer so I had to put my job search on hold. I just completed my last chemo and have found that there’s nothing more important than living life in the present. I connect to your message and also decided that I do not have time to waste time living an unauthentic life❤. Best wishes to your husband and your family and thank you for your open and honest conversation.
I agree with you. I’m learning to stay present, doing my best to care for my loved ones and being intentional with self care. Connecting and being vulnerable is the only way I can journey on. I wish you the best.
I started following you when I was looking for advice on interviewing/negotiating. I appreciate the authenticity within this video. I'd also like to believe that hardships come to us because there is some sort of life lesson or perspective we are meant to experience. Currently struggling with coming to terms with the loss of my sister, it's been a little over a year but I can't seem to really accept it. I've tried to take her life ending as a reason to take my own to the fullest, "waking up", kind of re-realizing how short and precious life really is. Working on getting my own self together. Don't worry about how "all over the place" this video is, that's how life goes and I'm glad to see someone who is trying to help others with her own experience. I also try to do the same.
Linda, what a life test you have to take recently. I am sorry for you, but I see you come out with wise, strength, and resilience. You are a warrior, and a survivor! Take care, and keep on going…love you and your family. ❤❤❤❤
As a HSP as well, I agree so much with how much things can affect us whether it is big or small situations. Still trying to figure out what things I let affect me and what things I brush off. This is just one of the challenges I had encounter as I am trying to grow to a better and more authentic person. I honestly love your message about being true to ourselves and everyone often struggles with this.
Wow, I rewatch one video as I have an upcoming interview and came across this video. I’ve been in the spiritually path since felt like forever and this video really resonates with me. To make a long story short, I was so spiritually I didn’t have a structured job and now I’m on bringing my spirituality authentic self along. Thank you for your openness and healing video!
Linda I wish you massive amounts of health and love while you are going through this hard part of your life. I want to share with you that one of your videos helped me when I was in a depression during 2020. I lost all parts of my identity during that period and had to find my self worth in a ver hard way. You made a video that helped me see my value. Your videos help so many people I am sure of it. Thankyou for sharing those life lessons. You are such an amazing person.
Wow, so powerful and what timing since I am on a cancer journey with my husband right now, only my children are adults. Thank you giving me permission for self-care which I had no room for before and to discuss with him what this is meant to teach us. I feel confused and I don't know what to do or how best to help and I am fearful of the future as he starts chemo treatment. After hearing your advice and thoughts, I am going to be intentional about putting out positive energy going forth, and I have more hope for the future. Thanks for sharing this message, I needed this more than you know right now.
Thank you for sharing. Pour your intention into turning inwards and listening to your inner guidance on how best to support him. Acknowledge the fear but focus your main attention on faith that you both have a choice on what this next phase of your story will be
Linda, it's nice to see you again and learn from you. I acknowledge you and your husband for being willing to dig deeper into the emotional aspects of his diagnosis. So many layers of healing available within our life challenges. Prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏 I left corporate and stepped into my authentic vision of my business. It is a daily process to do the inner work to be aligned, authentic, and live from my Soul purpose. So easy to get distracted. Love & blessings to you. ❤
So sorry to hear about your husband Linda. Well done on finding all of the strength to go through this difficult time, I can't even imagine. I lost my Mam to cancer when I was 22, and it's been 8 years, it's been challenging on many different levels. Thanks for sharing your story, it's very inspiring. I relate to being a highly senstive person. I take on a lot and can get overwhelmed, and I thought it was just me! Good to be able to relate to someone else. Looking forward to more videos
Count me in! Approaching retirement but still have so much stress from working as a social worker! So much brokenness in our world. Your take on staying hopeful-I’m a person of faith❤
Thank you so much for all you do and say… your so inspiring.. I pray for your continued success in becoming all that God has created you to be on this earth… as he continues to open up all the greatness hidden inside you.. Blessings and Healing to you and Family…
Hi Linda, happy to hear that things are better now and I can understand how challenging it must have been for you and your family! I deeply appreciate how you emphasis on being authentic in the present time! Welcome back 👏
Thanks for sharing. You're indeed a very strong personality. It's good that you pulled through a very difficult phase in your life. I hope this experience will give you more confidence to face whatever life will throw at you in future because it is a revelation of the huge potential to deal with situations which lies within, around and outside ourselves. It is also any encouragement to all of us you have shared this experience with. Please keep on keeping on!
Hi Linda I followed you not too long ago when I was searching for a new accounting job. I followed your channel immediately because the way you communicate just resonate with me. And I think that your spiritual side is the reason you have the unique way of communication and we were connected through this flow of energy while I was job searching. I am sorry to hear about the life challenges you have been dealing with but I'm more happy that you are able to grow and complete yourself from the challenges. You talked about the need to become our authentic selves and that actually has been going in my mind for a quite a well. While I like my profession (accounting), I dont feel my soul can be truly enriched from doing my job. The thing that could make my soul feel enriched and being my true self is to do painting, discuss subjects around philosophy/literature/humanity,etc. Sometimes I wonder I could have chosen a field that better align with my true passion. I am thinking about exploring more related subjects that to find out my true passion in my free time but my work is busy. On the one hand I do want keep progressing in my accounting career on the other hand I want to discover my true passion (but my true passion may not bring income and I dont even know what I can so with it yet). However my work is busy and I can hardly find time to discover my true passion. This is also why I switched job but turns out the new job also pretty busy. Do you have any advices?
Hi Linda, I was going through the same experience when my dad was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. I believe in energetic and emotional healing. Shortly after my dad’s passing, I discovered Gabor Mate’s book When the Body Says No. I wished I discovered his work early so that I can help my dad with his healing. I support you in being your authentic self. Take good care of yourself and wish you all the best 🍀
Hi Linda, I deeply resonate with all the statements you've made here and in previous videos. I feel like I'm going through a similar journey of uncovering/discovering my true self, and what truly matters in life. I had a similar upbringing in an Asian household being that shy girl and going through similar struggles with self identity, career driven motivation, pleasing my family and friends. I am 29 years old now and am learning to be more in tune with my feelings/intuition and learning from my challenges whatever they may be. With every challenge that presents before me I learn more and more about myself and build resilience. I believe that life is about being in the present and connecting with others. I look forward to more videos, they are truly inspiring!
i found u bc I want change job as Cpa. It is super right on. Now I lost my job. And I can feel I don’t have more room for self doubt and how ppl view me. Super related too! Hope ur husband heal
Hi Linda....thank you for sharing your story and sending you energy of love. I do struggle with fear of judgement and this has stopped me from taking action in my online business.
I'm also a highly sensitive people. And I'm struggling with my relationship with other people, whether its family, work or friend because I'm always overthinking that I always want an ideal flow of things but I remember someone told me that I also should understand that life is not always ideal, life will not always give you just good things even if you did your best, so yeah, that's the part of my life that I'm struggling. And now I just realized from hearing on this video that maybe when things go rough it's just a challenge for you to learn. And it's up to you if you will learn or another challenge will come, for you to learn again. BTW, thank you so much for bravely sharing all these things to us. You are the reason why I got most of my job and I'm very thankful to you and your videos. May God restore the health of your husband. God bless you and your family.
Hello Linda, Your insights actually got me my first job. It is glad to see you back. Trust you are great though. Love you back to back. I am sorry about your husband's medical condition, i hope he feels best soon.
Thanks for sharing and more power to you.. Yes similar to what you mentioned I go through this self doubts if I am worthy/capable enough for that promotion, do I have the skills , Can I do more etc.. sometime the darkness hits and make the situation worse.
Great video! I am currently struggling with the idea of not being true to myself! Sometimes I feel I am not working enough to fill my cup physically emotionally etc. so I am scared that any life challenge will throw me off.
Hi @LindaRaynier, I was a caregiver before and now I am a mother of 2 young kids too. I totally can relate to yout situation and admire your spirit. I am retrenched and currently started looking for a job. Until today, i always feel like there is a hole in my heart and I feel sad for nothing. I also having the biggest fear in cannot find my next job bcoz of my unworthiness. Hope to see more of your video to make mr grow with you. ❤
Thank you for this video Linda and I'm very glad to see you're back on RU-vid! I've been working very hard for the past 3.5 years to obtain the qualifications needed for my dream job. Now that I've achieved those qualifications, i find myself in self doubt and scared of actually applying for my dream job. I'm scared that my dream job would reject me. I'm also fearful of the fallout, reactions and judgment from other people when i quit my current terrible job to switch careers to my dream job.
Hello Linda I was just wondering what you had become you were a great inspiration to me for several years. When I didn't see you, I said to myself that you had given birth as you looked pregnant. I didn't know that you had been through such a difficult time. I listened to your podcast twice and it really touched me. You are a brave woman I wish you the best! If you need something don't hesitate to get in touch whether it's through a podcast or simply by communicating directly with me. I don't know what I could offer you but in any case I am with you spiritually
I understand how difficult it is to be a caregiver. The emotional struggle of the patient and the caregiver can sometimes make life rough. Hope your husband's situation will get stable, and your family can find the balance. Sometimes we may have to embrace what life gives us and see it as a personal growth opportunity, this at least makes us feel more at peace and positive.
Hi Linda, I so respect and am inspired by your story and your newly ongoing outlook that reflects your truest self. And to communicate in your patented warm, sincere, and very presentable style. Though I haven't quite experienced the ongoing threat that you have, I come close, with my 90 year old parents transitioning to assisted living, selling their house, and being a caregiver to help them out after my workday, plus being on call for so many phone calls, doctor's appointments, all grocery shopping and drug store, really endless tasks, and this was all following and near death sepsis infection of my mom and her healing at home for months, I haven't had a break in 3-4 years. I totally get it. You have to lose yourself almost, there's resentment at life, and just shear daily exhaustion. I'm still trying to cope and slowing reclaim my life, but also with a renewed focus on what really matters to me. So I've gotten a better appreciation of life, more perspective, and that's been my lesson. I'm still so "in it", so I'm sure more will come clear over time, and I still have huge unimaginable challenges ahead with my parents mortality. So thank you for sharing your story and perspective, as it helps me a lot. I look forward to future videos by you 😊🙏
Prayers, Love and Light to you and your family, Linda. My current struggle is working from home at a job that pays great, has great benefits with a fabulous organization. However, it is totally unfulfilling. Perhaps this is just my own perceptions. Not only is it somewhat isolating, my husband works 60+ hours a week and I am the runner of the household. I struggle with feeling enough as a mom, wife, woman, etc. All I can do each day is push forward, continue on and keep a smile. Some days are easier than others but I would love to hear your thoughts on some of these topics.
Hi Linda, strangely enough, I was wondering just 2 days ago, it's been a while I have not received any emails from you, and there it goes, I just got your email today!😊 I have been struggling time to time on fear of judgement , am I performing to the expectations from my new boss and did I say or do somethings that my new colleagues might think otherwise...these feelings come and go like roller coaster ride ever since I left my previous job of 17 years, moving on to new job late last year..your past videos on work/interviews have always been encouraging and inspirational. It was one of the factors I have managed to move out of my comfort zone last year. And that's why I thought of seeing you and your videos again when I was feeling down just 2 days ago . *Hugs* to you and your family on this healing journey! ❤️ from far far away in SE Asia..Looking forward to your next video update! Take care
