Thanks for leading the way and sharing about it. I stuck it out with my version of your YouTube channel, I tried every way to fix the business ans my attitude towards it like you did with dentistry, so I get how you feel about leaving something that on the surface is working.
Good question. I have moments when I wish I'd changed direction 5-10 years ago when I was getting those urges to, but also that online business brought a lot of freedom and has allowed me to spend a lot of time with my kids while they're young and to live outside of the city in an area with really love. So I guess overall I'm grateful and excited I still get to make a change of direction in my work now.
Thank you for sharing!! Finding the courage to quit something you've spent your life building is not easy. Appreciate you for being the example of being aligned and chasing after purpose and growth!!
This was such an insightful read Akta. Your reasons make perfect sense, especially with keeping your daughter and her privacy in mind.
I started Substack earlier this year as a holding space, so that I could have thoughts clear enough to eventually turn into YouTube videos. This is a first go at it under my own name, after having grown personal brands for other people professionally.
All of what you have outlined, I have kept in mind as I intentionally build—hopefully being as intentional and strategic as your creator friend's smaller channel. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot. I love that you’re using Substack as a space to find your voice before turning it into video - it sounds like you’re being incredibly thoughtful with how you’re approaching it :) wishing you all the best with your channel
Found you on youtube and love that you're on Substack. Everything you talk kept me out of the online world for a long time. But the tide is turning and I love that people like you are setting the pace for slower, soul-calling!

So glad this resonated! How do you feel about your decision looking back now?
