Hi Reble! This isn't really related to the video but I'm 18 and just came out as lesbian and just wanted to thank you and your girlfriend for being such a power couple. There isn't much representation in media of lesbian relationships (except if it's fetishized) and for some reason I feel like that really created a block in my head and made it seem like it wasn't possible for me to ever be in that sort of relationship and made it seem like a hetero relationship was all that was in reach. Seeing such a loving, caring and supportive relationship like yours really opened my heart up to the idea that I could be gay and not asexual as I always thought I was. Just thank you, so much. Accepting my real feelings was like knocking off a thousand pounds of weight off my soul and if I didn't have you to look up to in the past year idk how long it would have taken for me to get here.♥️♥️♥️ Now I just gotta get over my crippling fear of pretty girls 👉👈😳

I'M PROUD OF YOU... no one answered this and I felt like someone should have said something... It's 10 months later but.... 👉🏽👈🏽... anyway... I don't know you but I'm proud of you. I hope everything goes well in your life and you found love, I hope a pretty girl helped you overcome that fear and last but not least I hope you're happy.

I’m sure they would have responded if they’d seen it. Congratulations on your latest self discovery. We’re always learning things on our life journey and sometimes it’s about ourselves. I think those can be the best things to learn, or at least the most productive things. Now you can live your best life, authentically. I can’t help you with the pretty girl thing though, I have an attraction to intimidating women, who are, funnily enough, *intimidating* 😅

Yaaas. I have ADHD and I live in Australia (I've never seen a squirrel irl) and I had to show my partner one specific part of the video because I was laughing at myself and also proud because I was focusing on the video and then got super distracted by the squirrels and had to rewind! 'oh look squirrel' is apparently an ADHD right of passage I'd always felt left out of until today!!!

it's so hard because it's so easy to get in your head about transitions. That's why I always focus on the opening the book and closing the book strategy because it takes me out of my head for a minute.

wow! this has been the most informative transition video yet! thank you!!! I definitely need to stretch my hip flexors because that is where I've been struggling the most - that is, getting my feet to sit in a straight line next to one another. Another super helpful tip was the "stagger your feet" - while I had been doing this when skating, I didn't think to do it for transitioning. Can't wait to try again with this new information!

I appreciate your channel as its so uplifting. Back in my teens, I used to do splits on roller skates, spin and all that stuff. My kiddos didn't believe me until I pulled out the pics. Lol - Had my right ACL reconstructed in 07/1991 and then again in 09/2010. Since then, I've been very cautious about jam skating due to the instability of my lateral collateral ligament in right knee. Had it evaluated numerous times and docs all agree if there's no pain, inflammation and doesn't interfer with quality of life, then don't fix it, just wear supportive devices. Fast forward, I've been skating forward/backwards and moving arms/hips. My passion is to truly return to jam skating but cautiously as I KNOW I can't revive my glory years. Thing is ... despite being able to jog, walk long distances and do other stuff, I sometimes become paralyzed by my fear of re-injuring my right knee. Especially since I've managed to work around my slightly unstable ligament. However, jam skating requires more flexibility and I am at a loss re: how to revive my love/passion for the rink.

I’ve *never* 😳 heard anyone address the importance of being able to open up the hips and how helpful it can be to know how to balance, even just for a second, one one foot. So many tutorials, while well meaning, just show the foot work and dont address that there may be other things at play that need consideration🤷🏼‍♀️ Have been working on bettering my balance and even more so, the hip flexor stretches and it’s made ALL the difference-Thank you for breaking this down SO well!!🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️
