Wow, such a loaded topic. I think there are so many things involved in this topic and there is no simple or right answer. In regards to the situation with your son, I think that he the bounced back so quick or just stopped the bad behavior and and went about is day is like you said extremely positive and just all around good. What is making you question that and whether maybe you should question it further is also possible self reflection of where maybe you did something and your parents disciplined you, maybe you kept doing the same thing. Also it's different for a child sometimes then a teen. Also, your kids learn from you so even if you are still trying to change things within yourself, they are learning from you. I believe personality plays into it, he may act different than his brother as time goes on. People develop differently even from the same parents, there is so much to this. A child may be mischievous and actually may like watching his parents get a little angry ( not going to lie I was like that)...just some things to comment on. It also depends on what you learned from your parents and what works for you and doesn't, because you developed your own personality. This is an interesting topic that can go on and on. Ultimately, I think if the child has learned the lesson there is no reason to have them display some sort of guilt or remorse because the behavior stopped. If the behavior continued, that maybe a different story because the behavior may continue and maybe depending on the situation because what if he did something that could have resulted in him or someone else hurt (god forbid) or worse, i think what you would be looking for is understanding and with that may come remorse. This can go on so I'll stop

More great points and I feel that its true, if you want to change things with yourself it starts from within. A lot of people make surface changes thinking that will make things different. That whole thing if you look different you will act different, but in the end all your doing is pretending. There are people who don't want to put in the work, but just thinking knowing they need change will magically change things. Looking forward to future topics, and Congrats on completing your first podcast series.

Jaz you know artists are their own worst critics. Also, having the courage to discuss something you messed up or don't like helps other people as well. A lot of people don't like to say I created something that didn't come out good. Because what are mistakes? Learning experiences. No artist is prefect no person is perfect. And the best thing about it, you can do it over. The hardest thing is to keep going. I think this was a great video on overcoming that. A lot of artist like to show hey I did this amazing picture...but I'm not going to show the ten failed attempts prior. 😊🦖

I couldn't agree more. It is really unfortunate and I think is maybe an accidental side effect of social media. Nothing is ever "enough" so we have to keep trying to get to another level but I have really found, especially recently, when I allow myself to step back and just be there is so much goodness in what's not hustled for at all. Things like laughter, playing with my kids, eating a good meal, going for a walk. The simple things move humans the most and we miss so much opportunity to be moved every day.

I thought you made some interesting points. And because I know your going to ask, especially about prayer. Praying for the same thing over and over as if God isn't hearing you was a very interesting point. This will be short it has been a very long day, but the other thing you said about seeing yourself, but not being able to see your face in these little fantasies...imaginative moments...what about a series of paintings where you paint or draw these scenes with a girl picking flowers, another at the beach, and so forth and the first in the series, she has no face. But with each drawing her face becomes more and more pronounced and clear? Something to think about.

My son turned 1 today (I'm watching this in the evening) and I haven't felt being creative or when I did I was just tired and needed to rest when he was sleeping. I'm also trying to get back into things and make art and share that journey as well, getting back into art after becoming. mom is hard, because you need to feel rested and okay to get creative and it takes time to adjust when you have a new big role in your life.

Hi Jasmine, I almost never comment videos but I thought this time the content creator might actually read it and it could sort of help. You are a beautiful and strong mum going through a very hard time of life. Just remember that it will be temporary and soon you will be in a much better place. If you have the financial runway to pursue your dream just go for it. I am sure you will be successful. And just to share some other idea about work/mum life balance, I work fully remotely with a company based pretty far away so I this way part of my working day is when my kids sleep, and for the other remaining few hours I am able to manage with my husband and parents support for taking care of the kids. It’s hard but doable and I get to spend most of the day with my kids that way. Whatever decision you take it will be the right one for you and your family. I hope you will soon be able to connect back with your passion and build a new life that you and your family will be so proud of. Stay blessed 🤗

I hope everything is going good for you right now. Definitely don't feel like a failure or anything like that for moving in with your parents with your kids when your husband isn't taking care of his own family. If it helps, I think in the old testament law there's an understanding that if a woman is widowed or the man divorces her, she moves back into her father's house and he oversees her well being. Maybe that's part of why the biblical marriages were generally set up and approved by the fathers?? I'll have to look into a reference for this at some point, but I hope that lessens a mental weight from you. You're in a hard spot and I can't imagine going through that without family stepping in to get you set back up. And it seems like they're extremely supportive. God is in control of everything, and gives strength to those that trust in Him. God bless you! ❤️

Hey friend, i noticed you mentioned hiring a lawyer for divorce. I wanted to encourage you to look at 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, and 1 peter 3. I definitely strongly recommend you stay with him if it is possible and if he doesn't allow you back to remain single and not divorce him while working to restore your marriage. I know this subject isn't taught about much but the Bible covers everything we need to know for marriage and living a God honoring life.
@JasmineFrances 3 ай бұрын
Hey, thank you for the encouragement. I did look at the scriptures and I will say, because I am not quite ready to make a video regarding all that is going on yet, 1 Corinthians 7:15-16 would be my case and therefore biblically, God want's peace for those who believe in him. That scripture alone says if the unbeliever is the one who walks away then there is no bondage for the one who believes, so why would I try to stay bonded? I don't know that I understand how one not allowing the other back and then the other working on the restoration of a marriage is possible because it takes two people in each and every relationship. Just like God won't restore a person if they are not pursuing him, in relationship with him, and trying to know and understand all he desires for his people. I believe that your heart is in a good place and I do appreciate you taking the time to share scripture with me. I suppose all I can say is that I trust that God is with me in all of this and my faith is in Him and he can and will do whatever it is that needs to be done. At this time all I am focused on is my mental health and being a wonderful mother for my boys. ❤️

Hi there, being a single mom while also being expected to take care of finances is rough. It's so nice your parents have allowed you all to stay with them. IDK this dynamic, but if this is working for everyone, maybe do it for a couple years - until the kids have reached age 3 at least. I'm not sure if the ex is paying child support or what... If you want to do the daycare thing to gain more working experience for your resume, and bring in a little money while getting to spend time with your kids - that's a fair option, but i wouldn't suggest doing it for the kids, if that makes sense. The kids don't need daycare, parents do. Otherwise, maybe you can try to be a stay at home mom raising your kids, but also helping your parents as needed (grocery shopping, paying bills, get the car inspected, help with lawn care, etc.) so you feel like your contributing and they don't feel like you're taking advantage? Again, IDK the dynamic. Your friend looking out for you is super sweet - sounds like a nice job to have, so i understand the struggle in trying to decide. All of this said, i don't even have my own life figured out yet. Best of luck to you! 🤗
@JasmineFrances 3 ай бұрын
Hi! Yes, that does make perfect sense. When I've watched the video back I can see how badly I am contemplating the "right" thing instead of considering that there isn't always a right or wrong. In my first video I share quite a bit about my feelings toward daycare. I understand its purpose but I was a stay at home mom for more reasons than just the cost of it. I believe in the benefit for the kids, wholeheartedly. I am still in I guess what could be considered the early stages of divorce so there is no steady money coming in just yet. The dynamic is fine, there will be adjustments but there is grace extended on both ends so I know we could make it work for an extended period of time if we needed to- which would probably be the best thing for the boys. This is one of those times where having a lot of societal noise makes it feel "embarrassing" instead of being happy and thankful for how it's all working out, you know what I mean? I do appreciate you taking the time to share and help me to articulate more what matters to me and what is most beneficial to my kids. Well maybe you don't need to! Something tells me you're probably doing better than you think! Thank you for the luck!

I'm glad you know where to turn when things are hard. When I was 19ish Jesus saved me. I went from being a child, scared of hell so i got baptized and was always told to remember that day of i ever questioned my salvation. Everyone would affirm i was a Christian. So finally i realized i wasn't like what the Bible taught and went the way opposite of the Scriptures. Ironically when a girl asked me if i had spiritual beliefs i said I'm a Christian but don't act like one, i started questioning things. Eventually God convicted me of the truth that i didn't know him. I realized if i was to die that very second i was in hell forever because i was in rebellion against God and He is holy and perfect. I finally surrendered to Jesus, and the work He did by dying on the cross to save the world from their sins, was buried and then raising himself from the grave on the third day, to defeat death so we can have eternal life, which i want to say is free to anyone who will just put their faith (confidence) in Him. It's amazing when you're not burdened by sins anymore and get to be truly free.

Even though you are living in a complicated time, you are very positive, and I am sure that your baby boys will be very proud of you. You will bloom and will thrive! 🎉

Hey girl, it's tough enough but very rewarding being a parent, and it s ok to lose some of you when you become a parent, we r all trying to figure out how to be a great parent together with accomplishing any goals that we had prior to becoming one+ house chores, cooking and all that jazz. Don't feel alone, I feel like most moms are going through it. It s even more challenging if you don't want to use the daycare, since you need people around who will help you to take care of the children, while you follow your career plans.Let's be friends ❤😊

You’re so right, the more I am willing to talk about things the more I learn how many other moms feel the same way. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement at a much needed time. Yes, let’s be friends! Just saw your channel, excited to check out your music, how awesome! ❤️

Had my baby in 2022 and I’m so over not sticking to my goals! My brain has changed and I feel even more lost sometimes. I have always had the goal of eventually have my own shop of all my art and stuff I make. I recently opened and Etsy because I just don’t want to give up and never be able to do it. Just going to keep pushing. We got this! We just have to take it one day at a time. I’m trying to become more grateful so I don’t stress as much about what I don’t have.

Oh my gosh! I just got half way through your video and I feel like we’re so similar! My great grandma was a watercolor artist and ever since a kid I have always aspired to be like her! She sold her art in her local gift shops. I make so much random stuff I don’t understand how to make a brand out of it. I don’t want to settle down to just one kind of item or art. And like you said being a sahm is hardddddd but I can take a shorter shower or wake up earlier lol 😅 ah! I wanna make patterns and start pottery again and make children’s books and greeting cards and I have a ton of thrifted fabrics I would like to repurpose.

Meghann!! I'm so sorry to just be getting back to you now, I clearly either miss notifications or don't get them?! That is AMAZING! Congratulations, while it can be trying it is still such a beautiful time! I feel so touched even reading what you said because sometimes having big dreams (and a lot of them) can feel so lonely ON TOP of being a new mom! You just have to find the ability to give yourself grace and fully accept who you are and the things you wish to pursue and create!! It is a process, one that I surely haven't mastered yet. I really encourage you to keep doing what you can when you can. It's not that you don't have anything, you're just on the journey to getting there. The mindset shift is hard when you're tired or feel forced to do the "responsible" things, but every little step now counts!! We do got this! I really believe the more we give ourselves time to do the things we love the more love we will have to share. (:
