Wow!!! This is exactly the season God is taking my life into. I have a strong desire to get quiet and go back to the basics. More God and less of everything else. 😊

Great tips! I have quit FB since watching one of your videos. It has freed up a lot of space in my brain! Still a lot to do to starve the “need” I have for having my phone and using it, but I do feel more aware of what I am doing on it. I do try and intentionally leave my phone elsewhere, and on our Sabbath I rarely pick up my phone.

This is so good! 🫶🏻

I was literally thinking about my kids childhood Vs mine. The TV and iPads etc are a distraction that prevent him from figuring out who he is. Does he enjoy colouring for hours? Does he like playing the piano? Does he wonder about bugs and the life they live? No no and no cause he's obsessed with Mr beast being an idiot on KZfaq 😢 Thank you for this video. It has inspired me to do better.

I just found your channel and your videos are very inspiring. As a mom of 4 I want to improve my life by becoming more minimalist and more intentional. I will definitely read the book you recommended!😊

just stumbled upon your page and now im bingeing (in a healthy way??) LOL I feel like we'd be besties bc you're quoting all my faves - John Mark Comer, Brendan Manning, M is for Mama, practicing sabbath, etc. anyway thanks for what you do! <3

Oh my goodness! This❤❤❤ What a wholesome and edifying video. I just stumbled across this video and your channel. Thank you for sharing this, we are here for it

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

This brought me so much peace. This whole year I've been burdened and overwhelmed by a lot of responsibilities and I am so exhausted by all the work. I got caught up in the idea of I have to work hard to impress my boss, I have to study hard to impress my university, I have to be a good steward of my home to impress my mom, I have to be this perfect person who has her whole life figured out and I have to be excellent in every single area of my life otherwise I'm a failure. And I would beat myself up over the smallest mistakes I made and I started to feel like I lack purpose. Like everything I do is just chasing after the wind and meaningless. I'm now learning live a more slower, peaceful life. I'm done being Martha that waited on the disciples and on Jesus and I'm starting to live like Mary, just sitting at the feet of Jesus and taking everything in. One moment at a time.

This was sooo timely for me! feeling v convicted to move more into minimalism/simplicity. Took the leap and bought a dumb phone, now going to move into other areas of mine and my family's life. thank you for your content - please keep it coming! 🫶

Could you please share your non-toxic minimalist makeup routine. You’re beautiful and I can tell you don’t have makeup caked on and a ton of product to hide your face but your natural beauty shines through. I’m starting to minimize my clothing, makeup and jewelry to be more simplified and modest and not over the top.

Loving the advices you share.... "Merci" from france :)

Great video! Very encouraging ..

Beautiful message. These days it is so easy to idolise the online world without realising it. This video was challenging to hear, but it has convicted me to assess how socials are interfering with my relationship with Him. How often do we unknowingly get exposed to content which is not in line with God's word and internalise lies/evil? Thank you so much for sharing! xx

I’m so glad your videos came across my feed because I thought I was alone in doing/learning all of this! 😅 Literally all the people (including my friends) are “high-speed” people and when I finally came to a quite literal crashing halt beginning of last year, I started looking around and realizing I don’t want that life. I didn’t exactly know what was right, but I was absolutely drained from always trying to “multi-task” to be more productive, always trying to learn new things, always trying to be busy, always surviving. I literally don’t think I’d live much longer if I kept it up. Anyway, it’s good to know I’m not the only one learning and seeing these things! It sure feels like I’m the only one in my circle. It almost makes me feel lazy or like I’m being looked at as lazy but that’s ok. I definitely don’t want to go back to the always stressed, ready to burst into anger at the slightest inconvenience, falling apart, nerves frazzled, kind of person I was.

I love your video. I just stopped being interested in tv quite some time ago, but earlier this year I ditched social media and it feels like a weight lifted. When you take social media out of your life, you realize it literally added nothing. Only took away. And now it’s time to start the declutter of my own home. 😅 I also went from that working life to stay at home mom. I was addicted to business as well. I totally get it. It’s a big brain change but the best thing ever!

Will this work for someone with ADHD?

This was too relatable . As I am debating about watching a secular show or going back to playing a video game that was slightly addictive, this video pops up. God is too real and so kind . All the Glory to Him. I’m crying

I needed this video. Thank you so much.

Cool video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

You are inspirational

Especially agree with the effects of social media and cluttering! Overwhelming but freeing when you can let go of both!

Love the APPetizer analogy!

Can you please do a video of book recommendations or reviews?

I love this, thank you

I subscribed to you instantly at 3:34 when you started speaking about God and reading your Bible 📖. This resonates! 🫶🏾💕

Is there a way I could load up my body with minerals before we start trying for a 3rd baby? Would your mineral drink do that? Just chug that before during and after?

HaHa! “Taming my tongue” GREAT!

Meanwhile watching you while folding laundry and letting the water heat 😂

1000% relatable!

You are SO relatable. Thank you for sharing ❤

I’m going to delete social media. I always feel like I’m responding to someone and telling my kids to wait a minute. Years ago my husband said he can tell a big difference in me when I’m not on it. He says I’m less stressed. Now he stays on it or his phone all the time. I just bought a desk top computer so I can quits using my phone for everything. It’s handy but when I pick it up to do something, I get sidetracked and do something else. I keep saying I’m going to get off when I get finished selling a few things. But there’s always going to be something. I think I’ll see if my DIL will sell them for me. She had better luck with selling our truck last weekend than we did! I’m also going to work on less tv. Maybe all the crime shows I watch are unhealthy for me. I need to stick to KZfaq videos that are educational and only the channels I’m subscribed to right now. I’ve noticed that I’ve quit listening to the radio in the car and I need to cancel XM Radio. I need to quit watching OPL and unsubscribe from Peacock. lol! I keep asking myself why do I watch it anyway. It’s not beneficial in any way whatsoever. At almost 65 I am raising since infancy two adopted grandkids who are now 13 and 11. I homeschool them and I need to be more present. They will be grown soon and I will be lonely and missing them then. I have to figure out how to get them unobsessed with video games. I feel I do need to make some changes.

Simply excellent thoughts. Thank you for sharing. A much needed wake up call for me. Many blessings to you.

Omg i was looking for this video for so long in my history. My mom just had a stroke and is in need of some stress relief. Your video instantly came to mind. Thanks for sharing!

If I could give a thousand thumbs up on the video I would! I remember feeling very similar going from working/ school to being a stay at home mom with that identity crises! You articulated everything perfectly. Praying about my next steps in whether to fast from TV, and social media for an extended period... thank you for your video!

Impeccable timing sister! I recently deactivated social media because I found myself constantly checking apps and looking for notifications. Also because I want to focus my energy more on creating longer format content for YT. A couple weeks ago I logged back into FB, then a few days later to IG to invite some people to do a cleanse I’m hosting, then right back to the constant checking I went! I literally paused this video to go and permanently DELETE those social media accounts. So thank you for the nudge! You and I have a lot in common as far as the intentions for our channels/content. Maybe we can chat one day 🥰 God bless you and thank you for sharing your experience and takes 🙏🏼

Love the contemplation time after podcast consumption idea 😍 I just jump right into the next one!! We need more space and reflection time than we give ourselves sometimes 😵‍💫

Im a man with no kids, early thirties. I appreciate this video because sometimes you know how you really want to live but social conditioning makes you think it’s wrong to live simple . These are things I naturally want but until I’ve heard someone else explain it like this, it makes me feel like there are others who relate and I’m not just careless and lazy about “keeping up” with the rest of the world.

Can you share what you use instead of underwire bras? I just can’t find a good alternative yet.

This is the first video I have ever fully related to . Every single thing you said hit home for me I have been thinking so much and feeling the need to remove things because something wasn’t right . And this kinda is giving me that push . Every single thing I relate to even finding myself getting lost in tv and the rage . As a child I didn’t have a great parent she was never there but the tv was and I kinda found comfort in escaping . And never stewarding my home in the here and now with my children and husband because I was never use to stability or even having a home . And I still had the feeling I wouldn’t have it long . I’ve been so stuck but thank you for sharing because this helps me feel not so alone in this world .

Wow!!!!! Thankyou

U are an amazing young lady🥰

I so needed this video. Thank you!

I believe I have all this stuff because of poor sindrom... I grew up with a mum that was constantly getting stuff, my house was a chaos always full of stuff for just in case. But most of the time it turned out we did need them. Like the old TV she kept when we got a new one we could barely afford just in case new one broke down. And it did, 3 years after it broke down and we didn't have money for a new one so we used the old one. And it stuck with me.

❤🎉🎉❤

You’re so right Jessica. There’s such richness and presence in simplicity.
