- Hi guys! Welcome to the 2nd episode of my new series It's Never Too Late.
I never thought I would be starting over from scratch at my age... but I soon realized it's NEVER TOO LATE to be the mom I want to be, to have the home I want to have, to be the woman I want to be. I hope this inspires you and of course, let me know what you want to see from me in the future. Love you!

Seriously I'm so tired of society making working moms feel guilty when they work hard for their family!! Im not married nor have children, but I always respect working moms!
You can't win. They laugh at stay at home moms and they put guilt on working moms.
This!!!♥️
No greater feeling than providing for your parents who provided for you your whole life ❤
You are not a bad mom. As you highlighted, nobody questioned your dad as a parent when he was the primary breadwinner in your family. You are a better mom than many dads out there who are not only not present in their children’s lives, they do not even provide financial support for their children’s basic needs! You are totally rocking the mom role :)
“It’s OK, we are sisters”… Melting, here 💖 You are doing an amazing job Chriselle, keep doing you! 🫶
As a mom who (self) abandoned her career for her kids out of fear and guilt, I know now that love is what matters, who we are with them, and the model we set. I love the way you are mothering your girls, who clearly adore you, and wish I’d heard this message decades ago! ❤❤
I love this series - it’s so inspiring seeing you claim your life again and to provide for your whole family. All the best Chriselle ❤
Keep doing you Chriselle! Your daughters appreciate all you do for them and the time you give them is intentional & full of love. They will never forget that. ❤
I love how u kept your home genuine! With all the life and mess that 2 kids bring!
Watching your videos are definitely giving me dèja-vu vibes. I too have a daughter named Chloe (and wanted to name my 2nd daughter Colette but everyone said it was too close to Chloe so we decided on Giselle). I also worked a lot as a single mom… My girls used to celebrate “Father’s Day” with me because they said I did everything a mom does and a dad does. Fast forward to them now being 25 and 20… and I recognize that I stayed strong for them, not my critics. I’m encouraged to see you fostering your children’s relationship with their father - that is so critically important for their own self image and confidence as they grow into their teen years and beyond. Thank you for sharing your story as you navigate life after divorce. There is so much more you’re going to experience and discover about yourself and the people you surround yourself with. And through it all, you find yourself stretching your capacity to love that far exceeds what you have ever imagined! You go, Chriselle!!! 💪🏻
Some people love to make assumptions and push their insecurities onto others. You are a great role model for your daughters. My mom was a business woman growing up and watching her build two businesses taught me so much.❤
You are such an inspiration to all of us working mums!❤ thank you so much for these encouraging videos.
Beautiful and inspiration vlog. So happy you are back!
Your new series is so authentic and it’s much needed. Thank you for being honest and true to yourself. You are a wonderful mother and I wish all the best for you. I’ve been following you since the beginning of the Chriselle factor. It’s never too late is my new motto now. Thank you 🧡
Thank you for making this video, Chriselle and for sharing your divorce story and experiences. I am not divorced myself but have experienced a lot of marital problems, especially in the past year and you feel like a distant, wise friend who I can turn to. As a working mother myself who is currently paying for all the daily expenses in the household, I can relate to you from that aspect too
I’m loving this series. And have to say, you’re doing an amazing job! I never understood how people can tear down mothers for working hard and yet if men do it, they’re praised as the breadwinner. I think it’s inspiring that you’re able to work this hard and be so present still.
I love how you showed Chloe and Colette’s room as is and didn’t try to make it look perfect for the vlog. Shows how real you are about your life.
“It just takes one click in your mindset!” So so inspiring! Absolutely true that when we realized we no longer take certain things in life, we change our mindset from “I should” to “I must” and it will certainly change. ❤️
Thanks for giving space to this topic, you're clearly such a thoughtful amazing mom
Definitely agree being a working mom is amazing, hard, rewarding, exhausting, and wonderful. Yes! Attachment! You’re doing amazing.
Omg thank you so much for your honesty! I know what you mean!
I mean …. Thank you for sharing!❤
Regarding the fashion shows and your girls birthday being on the same period of time: of course in ideal world people are present in their life’s 100%, but there is a thing called REALITY and it’s something we can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist. Like every normal mom you are doing your best and it’s so good that you are inspiring other women! ❤
Love this! Our parents aren't getting any younger and God forbid medical expenses will start to pile up. Your kids have their education and you have so many people to take care of. You can't do it all but you can prioritize and balance. You're so inspiring Chriselle!
You do what you have to do for yourself and for those you love ❤
Reclaiming my life (and my self) was pivotal after my divorce too - I needed to do things my own way and for me. And buying a home was also healing sanctuary and a way to create a new chapter for my life. I love that you are able to support your parents and bought them a house. That's goals for me and why I work so hard!
Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring and comforting video… I’m standing at a place in my life where I want to make a big change and I was wondering if it’s possible at my age and I feel like ur video was the universe’s answer!! 🥰☺️ Just go for it gurl.. Go for it and be the fearless woman u always wanted to be. 💪🏽❤️🔥 Thank you soooo much for sharing so openly!! ❤️🫶🏽 Sending u and ur family peace & blessings… 😘
P.S. In looooove with the aesthetic of ur videos!! 😍
Much love to you, your family, your businesses and your life in general 🫶🙏💖
You're amazing! Keep on going no matter what! 😊❤
inspiring ❤ and the videographer did a great job!
Congratulations Chriselle! 😊
Reclaim yourself, I love that phrase. Thank you for this video!
It’s never to late to move out of your old house and start over…don’t be so attached. I felt that! This week I’m mourning my material house. Your words here have helped me realize I too will have a new place and in it everyone that’s supposed to be there will be and it will be special too. Thanks so much for these videos. They really are helping me in my season.
I love the way you are taking care of your parents. This is so cute
You are such a role model Chriselle! Unbelievably strong, so real and playing all roles in your life to the fullest… we are so proud of you🎉🙌🏻YOU GO GURL!!!
You’re a great mom! Raising two beautiful babies!
You are doing amazing and your recent videos have been my new obsession whilst up at 4am breastfeeding ❤
You are such an inspiration, ugh! Thank you
So nice to see the girls and your parents all looking so happy. You my dear are doing “ an excellent job being a super Mom and still living your own life “. Keep it up and stay on the good path.👍🏽🤗🇨🇦
I love your videos and thanks for sharing your beautiful girls playing laughing just shows how happy they are when there with you and your a amazing mom ❤️😊
Your strong work hard and a great role model xxx😊🙏❤
So much wisdom, I love your positive attitude towards financial responsibility for your ex, as it will benefit your children. It's very refreshing to see such positivity amongst all these ugly public divorce feuds❤
Love this kind of content from you. Yes you are a great mom :)
I love how personal yet inspirational these recent videos are! Thanks for being an inspiration ❤
You rock! This is inspiring. I’m 40 and am beginning to just learn how to live. It takes a lot of soul searching and fearlessness
Beautiful home may it always be filled with laughter and love 😊
You are so sweet. i understand the concern that others have shared. Kids need so much from their parents in the early years to develop well. You seem like a very attentive and loving Mom in your vids. Just be careful regarding your time away. :)
Dear Chriselle, I've been following you now for a few years and I'm very proud of where you are now! Keep going! Love, Hanka from The Hague in The Netherlands
AMAZING STORY UR SUCH A BLESSING
you are such an inspiration ❤
You are doing great!!!
I really hate it that when a man works and not come home often no one judges him, when a woman works a bit hard: bad mom! 🙄️ ughhh
Reclaiming yourself so true to any human being ❤
You are freaking amazing! ❤ Shèngdàn jié kuàilè. Big hugs!
Im so glad your life is getting back on track it makes me smile watching this video!❤❤❤
You have the best job ever if you are passionate about what you are doing please work as hard as you can only your girls can say if you are a loving mom or not others comments mean nothing !!!!!!
Your story and you are inspiring! It is awesome and actually helpful you share everything in such a raw way...people who are going through a similar jouney, see the hope when things are really shown as they are. As of what a mom you are...just ask your kids and nobody else. Everybody has an opinion...strangely to me, people just express it without being asked about something so personal. Keep on going ❤
Amen ❤ you’re the best mommy to the girls!
Thank you for sharing so much about those vulnerable moments of you life ❤ it's very empowering
And yes to "F you" for anyone that think they are in any position to judge someone else life.
This is so empowering Chrisselle❤️🫰🏻
My two boys and I lived with my parents the first 2.5 years after my divorce. My mom, when I was a kid, was a superstar stay at home mom, wife and now amazing Mimi (grandma). I feel like a constant failure compared to what she provided me. I work full-time, travel for work and I have been saving the boys’ child support for years now- so they can use when they leave my home. Balancing work, children, finances, health- single moms either rise to the occasion or crumble. It’s not for the faint of heart. I just started following, but in this very short video- your girls laugh and are silly with you, they adore you and you have a strong bond with your parents. So you’re probably crushing it. And you’re stunning.
Love this!
U are such a badass mom so inspiring truly incredible what u accomplished and house love the style and to be able to retire parents every womens dream must feel so amazing 💜
OMG i just came across your video and love you ! new subbiieee
❤❤❤❤ such an inspiration!!!
Love that you are creating content, Chriselle ❤ You inspire me as a woman!
It's so hard to be a working mom and it's even harder when you're a working mom with public visibility. You're doing a great job. Are your daughters happy? Do they feel loved? Are their needs being met? Do they have a positive relationship with you? Yes to all those - you're doing an amazing job. New house looks great. So cali-spanish style
Only good Moms question if they're doing a good job, you're inspiring the world, and a blessing to you family and the world
I just found your channel and I have to say I am so impressed with your resiliency and dedication to your family and to yourself!! Inspiring!!
Keep❤ doing…YOU. There’s no right or wrong. You do You!!🥰🫰🏼
Omg im at a similar point in mom life. Hitting reset, and redefining myself. I've invested so much into my kids that ive forgotten myself. I miss her, and i need to be a happy healthy version of myself too. Its time!! 🎉
All I'm thinking is I pray that tree doesn't die 😅😅. I love that Spanish hacienda style. Also i bought this stuffed animal bean bag cover so they can use it as a bean bag chair and hide the stuffies.
Just ask your kids if they're happy and what you could do. Their opinion is the only one that matters. An ongoing open honest conversation is most important and kids of all ages have a lot of awareness
Reminder: You’re doing your best
Lovely home, your daughters look really happy, your parents are divine, and you are always gorgeous and stylish. You're doing fantastically in my view!
Good video - your a good, smart, fun Mom !
You are a great mom and no one else will ever take that from you, done.
Congratulations on your new home!!!❤
Love love love your videos. So so real and I can totally relate. Your parents so sweet and lovely. ❤
This was great. I’m an Asian American and my mom was the example for me. She was the first to graduate college and become a career woman. Growing up, she took her career seriously. I think seeing that was a good example and was the norm for me to believe that women can work and be moms and there’s no expectation to reach other than to do your best. I’m older and I realize she did all of it because wanted a better lifestyle for us. You’re doing a great job, mama! ❤
I've been following you for some time now and I love that you were able to rally after such stressful event of your life like divorce. I too divorced after 18 years and can say that yes, you have to move on and work. Life doesn't stop, you must move forward and deal with your new normal! ❤
Absolutely and Indeed 🎉🎉
Your so beautiful and smart, I wish I could be strong like you. I've been in a bad place and can't seem to get out of it.
You don’t have to explain or defend yourself. Crazy how people feel comfortable expressing their shit on to others. You’re doing a GREAT JOB✨
Thank you ❤️🙏
You are a great mum❤
Thank you ❤
It is so refreshing to see a trans woman who is happy and fulfilled in life and really living with purpose. This is groundbreaking! Brava!
You are doing what is best for your family. You are providing for the kids by working hard, and getting divorced to stand on your own two feet so that the kids can have a better less stressful environment. You are a very strong and brave mum and such a generous person taking care of everyone financially including the kids' dad. Don't listen to the negativity and keep going mama ❤❤❤
Suggestion for the soft toys - we installed floating shelves in my daughter's room to keep her toys on. When she gets older it can be other things like books and stationeries.
You are an inspiration to moms, that cannot sit still. Guilty as charged😅
This hits different as a fellow asian-german living in Germany and having my parents come here 30 years ago and one of my biggest dream is to retire my parents too tho >.
People need to mind their own business. Like you said, if you were a man, it would never even be a discussion. Just keep doing what you do.
@@LyonKing779 and you know that how? Unless you’re one of her close personal friends you have no idea what her family is like or what she provides her children. Like I said if it was the children’s father being the provider no one would even blink an eye. Do you say things about pro ball players? Actors? Politicians? They all have jobs that take them away from family.

Not only are you a great mom, you're also a fantastic daughter! 😃
You’re not a bad mom at all.. but I can relate to this episode so much. When I work a lot or care too much about my career, I get mom guilt big time.. or fear I’m missing out on the moments that matter most - with my fam. So it’s a balance for sure. Thanks for being candid and also confident. ❤
Quite the inspiration. I think unless you're in it, few people understand what a modern woman goes through. Kudos to you for showing yourself grace.
Don't worry girls will catch up with you and share some tasks around home. And soon to be responsible ladies as you are.
You are a great fucking mom and don't let anyone tell you different or take that pride away from you. ❤❤❤
For Chloe’s stuffed animals, you could get a bookshelf to display them or get a wall hammock 😊 you are so inspiring!! Keep going ♥️
Chriselle it’s great that you made this video for those ignorant people out there. But honestly you shouldn’t have to explain yourself. I’m sure even after they watch this video they will still find other things to talk about you negatively. It’s coz they aren’t happy about their own lives. Anyway thank you for sharing. You are always my inspiration and I look up to you so much ❤
A GREAT MOM
inspiration always ❤
Your kids are so grown omg😭😭😭
The judge of your motherhood will be your children. Just because you share for a living does not mean people who watch have insight into your actual life beyond what you choose to share, and as a result this small glimpse is not indicative of your motherhood.
I’m a very traditional SAHM and feel privileged to be able to stay home w my kids BUT I know it is not a lifestyle suited for every mom. Decisions are personal and different. And it’s never okay to shame and solicit unasked advice to others. Let’s seek to understand and offer support rather than pull others down. Gosh, life is hard enough as it is.
I am truly loving this side of you 😊 I have a question for you and I am sorry for asking this but I am also curious as I am a mom too, but how did your kids react to you getting invasive treatments that change your look? I mean, just me changing the dye in my hair freaked out my little one or even me wearing a face mask too lol
6:01 beautiful house❤
