What a *pukka* video! Nice to see the blossoms in full bloom in Japan. I went off to a Buddhist monastery with family last weekend and there was a huge festival to celebrate the cherry blossoms in Korea. It was *_well pukka_* ! 😅

Hi Martina!! TMI, but I want to thank you so much for the impact you have had on my life. I have CPTSD and recently told my therapist about "Build A Ladder" which got me through some of my darkest days. You have had a lasting impact on so many people, and you continue to do so. Thank you for bringing us on these adventures, and also sharing the less than stellar days with us as well. Build A Ladder has helped me remember to be kind to and care for myself even when depression and anxiety are telling me otherwise. Showing myself love has helped me recover from what had become a debilitating mental health struggle. Thank you Martina!!

@LaynieFingers 2 ай бұрын

Yep... I don't know about you, but nobody can bully me the way I bully myself. I'm trying to learn to be kinder to myself... and building a ladder helps a lot.

@thestarspark2288 2 ай бұрын

Hey! I have complex trauma 🙃 build a ladder definitely helps. It also actually links to psychology/science, the polyvagal ladder is a way of imagining our nervous system as a ladder, with ventral vagal at the top, sympathetic in the middle, and dorsal vagal at the bottom.

I’m happy to point it out! I think people who don’t have to use mobility aids, or don’t have painful body parts take these types of things for granted. I don’t think it comes from a bad place; it’s just hard to know what you should appreciate if you’ve never lost it or been challenged.

it was salt indeed! Such a great balance to the THICC caramel! And yes, Dan is slowly being lured out onto camera for in exchange for PUKKA pie.

@linited 2 ай бұрын

If you look up a caramel slice you should find an easy enough recipe. Otherwise, shortbread base, caramel centre (a dulce de leche style cooked caramel is delicious), chocolate layer on top (if it cracks even better), then a sprinkle of flaky salt (but fancier than standard Aus bakery). Damn now I want some

I had one of these days recently and oh my! I had been housebound for years and last year i got an electric scooter. Life. Changing. doesn't even begin to describe what it was like to have independence again. Then, winter came and i was so surprised how hard it hit me. I'd suffered being housebound for over a decade and i can't get through one winter??? But oh oh oh the other day, after weeks of pain and migraines, i was just barely able to drag myself out into the glorious warm and sun and independence, it was picture perfection. The little squirrels i feed at the park remembered me and my girlsquirl came and ate from my fingers without hesitation ... and then i rode down my gorgeous block, someone smiled at me as i passed and i just started sobbing on my scooter with ridiculous joy lol. I sometimes wonder if people who don't suffer with chronic illness/pain know this kind of elation.

@KingKogi 2 ай бұрын

I feel you exactly. We suffer a ton, that’s for sure. And it isn’t instant, but if you practice searching out joy, you’ll see and feel the things that people who haven’t experience suffering cannot experience. It is both a curse and a blessing ✨ we are superheroes haha

I've been following your channels since I was 17. I'm 29 now, and when I walked out of a cardiology appointment last week with a diagnosis of EDS, my first thought was "build a ladder." It's been a lot to take in, but knowing that we have people like you advocating makes it a little bit easier. 😺

I remember watching you everyday in middle school and on and off again until now in college. Watching this video I could not stop grinning from ear to ear. From the sailor moon shoes, relatable bang drama, and the Dan-meo (Dan Cameo obviously lol) I was just transported to a place of happy vibes that really helped me snap out funk I've been in for the past couple weeks. I am forever grateful for the place on the internet that you have been able to provide Martina Lots of Love xoxo

I triggered my shoulder instability somehow yesterday so this is feeling very relatable! Also whenever I describe spring in Tokyo I always tell people how perfect the temperature is!! I hate the heat (which is ironic because I'm likely moving to Tokyo again during peak summer....) but Spring is always just the perfect mix of sunshine and not too warm weather! Bonus: Im hoping to open a cafe in Tokyo with esspresso coffee and seeing this guys pie shop (as an Aussie myself) is getting me excited!
