I love the parents moment, love the honesty ❤❤. Love the family's support. Love you Michel ❤, looking forward to all of your journey in the vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing the journey. You're an inspiration.
What nice parents. Embrace their love and support. I also had awesome parents. I lost my Dad some years ago..I lost my Mom last week. Cherish your parents ❤️
I think one of the best things I’ve done is traveling alone ! I’ve been alone to many countries in Europe, China and South Korea. I can really recommend traveling while you are young and single it really helps you get to know yourself more
As soon as I saw your Equalibria sponsored vlog, I signed up and got the daily drops, gummies and cream. I LOVE the gummies!!!!!! I can actually sleep through the night without waking up in pain. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💕💕 I fractured my L4-S1 when I was 14. I will be 60 this year and it is MIRACULOUS to not be in pain. THANK YOU!!! And PRAISE God!!!! 😊💕💕✝️
Let me just say I’m am loving watching these post marriage vlogs. It reminds me of my relationship with my parents. I’m a bit older but very close to my parents and do spend a lot of time with them. Also a Christian still looking and hoping to find that one person like your mom and dad explained that is a servant of others. They are much harder to find.
I'm crying my eyes out watching this. I'm going through the same thing and he's only just moved out so it's very raw. Your parents are soo so lovely and it's honestly so comforting watching your videos whilst I'm going through this situation ❤️❤️❤️
May God bless and keep you Lara. He is with you during your greatest time of need right now and He will sustain you. You'll make it through sister. Promise.
Was the reason behind your split so bad that it couldnt be worked out? Just asking. Seems alot of relationships nowadays paint a perfect picture, but they always seem to end.
@@blasiomuhinda5913 I’ve been where these women are and also understand your question… the hardest part a lot of times is that marriages CAN be healed and the issues don’t have to be terrible but if both partners aren’t working toward the same thing it like her dad said, 50, 60 years of pain isn’t worth it. If both spouses truly want it to work IT CAN even in bad situations. In mine even with some pretty bad issues I was willing to try and my ex simply wasn’t!
thinking you should turn your old podcast into one with your parents 😉 haha, but really, they are so wise and such a blessing to have! love what your mom said about finding a partner who finds joy in serving others so they don’t expect you alone to fulfill all their desires 🤍
I love this idea. Your parents have so much wisdom and experience to share as well you plus it would give you quality time together sharing a common project. I love the Joyce Meyer podcast/RUclips platform called, “Talk it Out”. If you are not familiar they have a panel of several ladies and sometimes Joyce. They are different ages and have different life situations. They talk it out by primarily sharing personal stories of what they are working through or have worked through in the past with an emphasis of we are a work in progress continually learning as life stages change and new situations present themselves.
I'm absolutely loving vlogger Michel. Your parents are such a joyful addition to your vlogs, and your relationship with them is so wonderful to see. I am glad they are so supportive and understanding. Sending you "big sister" hugs to all 3 of you!!
if only the world had more Christian parents like yours what a wonderful world it would be . There would be so much happiness & love among the people Have a lovely day & up & coming weekend !
@@rebeccameinzer8551 My question why would a parent want their daughter in an abusive relationship how sad is that how controlling & unloving they are doing it for themselves without regards for the welfare of their daughter I am so happy your parents were so supportive of your sister
@@Judy122550 I really have no idea. Even the Catholic church offers an annualment in the case of abuse etc.. it's sad to me that parwnts put ideals above well being.
The conversation that you had with your parents hit hard. I LOVE that your parents are supportive. Although I took initiative to end the relationship bcz there was cheating, verbal abuse and towards the end physical abuse my parents pointed fingers at me. It was my fault, I didn’t work hard enough, am not thinking about our kids. and they tried to get us back together. They made me feel horrible for leaving my ex. I wish they would have been understanding because I had no one to lean on for the most part. It was just me and my kids. From time to time I would talk to my aunt or a friend, but I felt like I was burden so I kept it to myself. You are blessed!
It is never your fault. There is no reason for abuse of any kind. It is better that your kids don't grow up in that environment. Sending you hugs and support!
You have been blessed with such wonderful parents, Michel! They are so sweet, loving and supportive! Thank all of you for such an open, honest talk. I'm sorry about the circumstances that led to you returning to Texas, but I am so happy you get to be near your family! Wishing you and your family the very best in 2022! ❤
Your parents are sweethearts! My dad didn't believe I was abused for the first 2 years after my divorce, and wow was that hard. So glad you have such wonderful supportive parents!
Your parents melt my heart; they are so charming! 2022 is going to be a great year for you. Of course there'll be setbacks and sadnesses along the way but more and more you'll take them in your stride x
Those parents are so invested in their daughter just being ok. I like how you talked about a wedding and divorce at the same time which showed no expectation of everyone in the family going through their personal highs and lows at the same time.
The thing about divorce is, if one person wants out or stops trying, there is no resolution, so in your situation, you did everything you could, but it wasn't enough, you were trying to fill up a cup that had no bottom
I was thinking the same thing. More and more it seems that she was the only one in the marriage and that will never work. I'm glad to hear her starting to except that she did what she could but didn't have a partner who was as committed to the marriage. You can't change people, make them love you.
@@rnjedilaura totally, I feel like initially she probably felt like, oh if I had done this differently or thar, we could have made it work, but like a, marriage, a divorce isn't something that happens over night, it builds and builds, and when one person in the marriage sees divorce as an option instead of trying to work it out, there is no hope
You are blessed with the loveliest, sweetest, most supportive parents...in the world!!! I lost my dad when I was in 6th grade and my mom when I was 30. I went through a VERY emotionally abusive relationship and it would have been so much easier to get through and get out of if I had them. I know you already do...but cherish them and hold on to them so tight! ❤
As if I didn’t love you parents already. I totally adore their vues on seperation and marriage and your mom got me crying when she was saying how much you need to be cherished and love in you relationships. I am older but in a probably unhealthy relationship listening to you and your folks talk about what is needed to be successful…. Love you so much enjoy single life and live your best life as l know you can
I agree with your dad friendship is so important in your marriage also God has to be the center of your marriage too. I went through a divorce when I was 25 years old with 2 young boys that was almost 30 years ago but a few years later I met my husband now and we celebrated our 25 year anniversary so you can meet the right man in God's timing. I'm sending prayers to you.
Use some blue Dawn on those leggings. Put a little on the spot, get a little water on them and scrub a little. Then let them sit a little while before you wash them!
So glad that you're thriving. It took me much longer at 30 to get to where you're at. It's been five years and I'm still focusing on me and my young boys. I don't think I'll ever be able to trust enough to date again.
Re: The question about the disapproving parents - Neither your family nor your religion should make you feel shame. If that's happening, you have some heavy thinking to do.
Love it!!! I have a 23 year old son and an almost 21 year old they were both home with us playing board games, enjoying yummy food and making family memories with us this new years eve. Glad to hear Max is doing well...we love our 4 legged family members!
Honestly Michel I’m enjoying the newly single vlogs more than anything you’ve done so far. Even though your going through a really rough patch, your courage, honesty, excitement and sweet exuberance is so great to watch and I’m so pulling for the new Michel Janse! Go get it Girl!
Oh wow. I have incredible parents and while my marriage is in a rough patch (2 years of financial exhaustion + being first time parents to a 15 month old) we're ok. Still, your parents' messages made me cry. I think mostly because there are so many people who don't have support and it made me emotional to think that my daughter could go through a season like this. The reality is that most people experience a hard break up in their life and it hit me like a truck that she could experience this. Woah, taking in what your parents say and storing it away
As a long time married person who was widowed, yes I take marriage very seriously, but when cases of cheating, abuse, drugs, disrespect or even guy walking, divorcing is not even leaving a marriage. It's having a healthy marriage taken from you. I could never expect, or want my kids, to have that as their life to appease me. No one can have a marriage if it is not mutual with both doing their part to build a happy healthy safe life with a solid future. No one can continue a marriage in those situations because there is no healthy marriage on which to hold. What is the option? Starting a family giving children an unsafe, unhealthy role model and childhood. No parent should want that for future innocent grandchildren just to appease what they wanted for their child's life so if a situation like that, no supporting one's children is actually abusive, setting them up for future abuse and disrespect. Our kids' adult lives are not about or for us so it's not about what we want, but what they want and need, as well as life situations they must navigate.
Your parents are so lovely! Love the relationship you have with them, and their relationship with each other. The way your dad answered the questions was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard, and hearing him saying your mom is his best friend melted my heart! You’re such a genuine person and love all the authenticity you provide on your channel! Loving the vlogs too by the way!
Your parents are lovely! I’m so glad to see that you have so much support. I went through at divorce at 24 and it was for the best. You are so smart to focus on what you are learning about yourself and never forget that you are worthy as you are always!!! ❤️
It is awesome that you have your parents' support. I love what your parents said. I received very strong support from my parents, but also from my minister at church when I was a young person going through a divorce. He reminded me that just because someone else broke their vows to me does not mean I broke my marriage vows, even though I was going through a divorce. That made me feel so much better at the time, and now I am reminded of that support and how that lifted me up so that I could move forward in my life and in my relationships. Thank you for reminding people that we can talk about marriage, divorce, changes in life and not be judged even if we are in different places in life, but we can all support each other in whatever "season of life" we find ourselves.
You have no idea how much I needed to hear your parents’ advice. I’m also Blessed with amazing parents who have given me pretty much identical advice, but to hear it from parents that aren’t your own, it hit differently. Thank you for posting this. 💗
Girl, your parents are amazing!! I now see where that sweet soul came from. The glow in your eyes and face and lightened up so much over the past few weeks. I always think that when I glow like that, it is the Holy Spirit working in me and through me. I am pretty sure you have the Holy Spirit glow. I am absolutely loving your Vlogs also. Excited to see what this year brings. Yay, and Happy New Year to you Michel and friends. Give Max a kiss from me.
I love your parents. Your so very lucky to have their support. They are articulate and kind and love you so much. I’m new to your channel but you are so strong and life will be better for you. I’ve been there but had 2 toddlers at the time that I chose my future happiness and health and role modelling the family I want for them even though I was the first divorce and stigma attached back over 20 years ago. Believe in yourself and nothing is impossible. You are intelligent, young and beautiful and a solid upbringing. You got this!!
Your parents advice to us going through something similar made me cry but was also the highlight of my day ♥️ thank you to all three of you for this video.
Hello sweet lady. I was told when I broke up with my husband that you can change back to your maiden name at anytime. No need to wait for divorce or anything. You maiden name is your name. The name you are born with.
I almost always play boardgames with my parents for new years. Me and my hubby love it lol. It was one of my requirements when we started dating. Any New Years possible we hang out with my parents and play games and do puzzles lol. Also I'm glad you got to keep Max. He lives you so much 😊 I'm glad he's okay.
Michel, I am happy to hear that you are no longer hoping for a reunion with Brook. Mainly because I feel that he was not a good person for you. I feel that you are way above him in so many areas. I know that you admired his ability to not people please, but keep in mind that there is a difference between someone who doesn't allow peoples opinions affect his opinion of himself and someone who is willing to listen to peoples input or feedback of something he is doing or how he is behaving. My observation of him, although limited, was that he appeared very selfish, and also quite apathetic to what others felt. I truly believe that God has someone so much better in mind for you, and you will see that you will not have to settle for someone who takes you and your beauty for granted. I promise you, Brook is the one who is missing out, and who let you get away, not the other way around.
I love your parents! What a blessing to have them in your life🤍 they are a true gift! I’m feeling so hopeful in this new year that you will be able to find so many new treasures in life and experiences that will be so precious.
I’ve never commented on a video on RUclips, EVER! But I have to say I adore you! Just sending you all the hugs & love & praying all the blessings over your life 🤍
Your makeup in the opening clip was stunning! I would never have guessed you have dry skin. You and Max will remain in my prayers for continued healing and happiness. You're doing great, Michel. You are going to come out of this stronger.
Michel, I’m just so thankful for your parents, and that they are a beautiful influence in your life. I know how important and precious that is. Hold tight to your family. 🙏🏻💕
What an awesome video! Your parents ... I have no words - amazing, awesome, beautiful, kind, loving, etc, etc... What a blessed young lady you are and so are they. Congrats to your sister on her up coming wedding. X X X Hope Max is feeling better soon!
As an observer, it really feels like you have found the road you are supposed to be on. Something was steering you there all along but you had to take the other journey first. This road is going to be smoother and more beautiful and take you on so many new adventures that align with the real Michel. It will take you HOME.
I love the relationship you have between you and your parents. It's amazing how supportive and affectionate you all are. I'm pregnant right now and never had a relationship like that with my parents. I was wondering if there was anything you could share about how you are so close to them, because I'd love to have that relationship with my daughter. ❤ Take care Michel!
So happy your parents are so loving and supporting of you! Hope Max is feeling better! If this keeps happening and starts throwing up in addition to blood or mucus in his stool have them check for pancreatitis. My poor dog was having blood in her stool and then vomiting and no interest in her food. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis is a special diet and only has small flares once in a while. Best to you!
It is so very kind of your sweet parent to extend kindness and warmth. It is amazing! I don’t have supportive parents so this warms my heart like no other. Thank you so much! 💗🥰
I love your family so much!!!! I've thought this for years but like, I always wanted and felt you belonged in Texas and always prayed you may end up there again, sad it is for sad reasons but I can't help but think this is where you are meant to be in life and back with your amazing family and all the memories you are making with them and that makes my heart so so happy for you to be on this path in that type of way! many prayers for a bright future and the love with your family and friends will carry you though as well as the lord will guide you in your new journey of life!
You are such an inspiration! I just found your channel and although the journey has been hard for u, you have handled it amazingly. I love max and your parents and you r hilarious and wish I didn't live all the way in VA cause u would be a blast to hang out with... especially thrifting! Keep up the great work. New favorite channel!
I love that you spent New Years with your parents playing board games. They are so supportive. You should let your feelings unravel and once the pain fades, there is joy. Enjoy this season in your life. It isn’t just about the loss of your marriage; your home…it’s also your new beginning of living your best life for you! Honor your heart.
I went through a divorce after almost 4 years of marriage. I was so relieved when I finally told my parents that my ex-h and I were having issues (he was deployed). He cheated on me, and continued to cheat on his next partner. I’ve now been married for almost 15 years to a great guy who taught me what love really is. It’s out there! Kudos to your parents, it’s so nice to have supportive parents. I was truly blessed with mine.
Happy new year!! Also, the topic of brain dump is funny because I don't really thunk of them as lists lately although I have kinda put them like lists with things I want to look up, but... put in feeling too and random opinions and I swear more things with come out of your subconscious that are needed than just writing what is on the normal to do. If that makes sense. I just recently have done my first real two page Spread in a journal labeled brain dump and I felt the more freedom to put it down without restrictions that more I got out of it.
Michel, I'm so happy to see you without all the stress. You are being your true self and you are starting to shine BIG. I couldn't be happier for you. Enjoy this time in your life. You are in the best of it, right now! Take your time and Mr. right will be there before you know it. We all deserve to be wanted in the same way as we want them. I'm wishing you the best of luck with many God's blessings. Oh, cherish your wonderful parents. They are truly your rock.
Legit, Lol when you're dad said "bummer dude" about not having upcoming plans with you 😂😂 your parents are the CUTEST. I always enjoy when they are in the vlogs. Love you Michel, Happy New Year!
I completely relate to you “not trusting life” lately. I have had a black cloud over my head with so many things happening in my life as well as my family members. It seems like everything I touch turn complicated. Happy new year to you, may it be a great year for you!
Michel your channel popped into my feed the other day, I was so impressed with you, your beautiful both inside and out. Your parents are amazing,your mom is so charming.I know you realize just how fortunate you are for their love and support..You are the same age as my eldest daughter and I have sent your link to both of my daughters..You are a lovely example for other young women to follow.I too went through a divorce from my girls father,we were childhood sweethearts,I want you to know, when you receive your decree, it will be a very difficult day. I don't think anyone ever told me that and I wish they had. I will be praying for you, and look forward to your thrifting and antiquing vlogs..Kae~
Your parents are such sweethearts with plenty of great advice. I can see the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. Such joy to watch the three of you ❤️❤️❤️💯
FYI when dogs have blood in their stool it could be just irritation of their bowels and it's quite common (I have 4 dogs) to save money always wait at least 12hrs before taking him to the vet, especially the emergency vet, they are very expensive
My advice to you, after everything your parents conveyed was to be of similar political beliefs. Years ago it may not have been a big issue in a relationship, but in today's world it is of utmost importance for a happy marriage. Just my two cents!
New subscriber here. Your parents are amazing and so are you. I'm a pet lover and I feel the same way when my animals are sick. I'm curious how you feel about cats. I highly suggest getting a Maine Coon after having had rescue cats on my life. They are considered gentle Giants and are extremely affectionate, great with dogs and children. We rescued one and she quickly became my son's therapy pet. So We rescued another. I always feel better knowing we have multiple pets to turn to to nurture and comfort, that way if something happens to one of them we still have one that we are bonded to. Keep taking good care of yourself
I love your parents so much. I've seen you all navigate this journey with so much grace, and I am truly in awe and encouraged. I hope to be like them if I ever become a parent.
Amazing words of wisdom from your parents! They are so lovable!!! PS-your hair grew so fast from the last cut you got. Could you make a video on hair products you use. It looks so healthy!
That’s the kind of parents a young woman should have. No judgment, open minded and fair. Tough conversation but honest answers.
Dang... no wonder you're as sweet, genuine and intelligent as you are.. your parents are the sweetest people
Sending lots of love ❤ your parents are amazing, you and your family have such a wonderful relationship

I know this advice wasn’t directed towards me but I found a lot of that advice really helpful for my marriage.
It's refreshing to see how supportive and open-minded your parents are. My wish is that everyone would have supportive and loving parents like that.
When you find that person, in my case…..I just knew….after a practice first marriage…❤️😁
Imagine having parents with a healthy relationship. Can't relate 😂

No one can have a marriage if it is not mutual with both doing their part to build a happy healthy safe life with a solid future. No one can continue a marriage in those situations because there is no healthy marriage on which to hold. What is the option? Starting a family giving children an unsafe, unhealthy role model and childhood. No parent should want that for future innocent grandchildren just to appease what they wanted for their child's life so if a situation like that, no supporting one's children is actually abusive, setting them up for future abuse and disrespect. Our kids' adult lives are not about or for us so it's not about what we want, but what they want and need, as well as life situations they must navigate.
Your parents are so lovely! Love the relationship you have with them, and their relationship with each other. The way your dad answered the questions was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard, and hearing him saying your mom is his best friend melted my heart!
You’re such a genuine person and love all the authenticity you provide on your channel! Loving the vlogs too by the way!
Your parents are lovely! I’m so glad to see that you have so much support. I went through at divorce at 24 and it was for the best. You are so smart to focus on what you are learning about yourself and never forget that you are worthy as you are always!!! ❤️
As a mom of a 13 month old baby girl your parents inspire me to hopefully have the relationship you all have with my baby girl. So beautiful 🥰
My hubby asked me last night what happened to your Texas friend how is she doing? I thought it was super sweet! :)
It is awesome that you have your parents' support. I love what your parents said. I received very strong support from my parents, but also from my minister at church when I was a young person going through a divorce. He reminded me that just because someone else broke their vows to me does not mean I broke my marriage vows, even though I was going through a divorce. That made me feel so much better at the time, and now I am reminded of that support and how that lifted me up so that I could move forward in my life and in my relationships. Thank you for reminding people that we can talk about marriage, divorce, changes in life and not be judged even if we are in different places in life, but we can all support each other in whatever "season of life" we find ourselves.
You have no idea how much I needed to hear your parents’ advice. I’m also Blessed with amazing parents who have given me pretty much identical advice, but to hear it from parents that aren’t your own, it hit differently. Thank you for posting this. 💗
I tear up watching your dad. You’re so lucky to have one. Thanks for sharing both of your parents with us, I adore them.
The relationship with your parents is priceless!!!
Absolutely loving the chat with your parents. So much WISDOM!! You are so blessed!!
This is so sweet. I love that you had them give their advice to everyone going through a hard time
Girl, your parents are amazing!! I now see where that sweet soul came from. The glow in your eyes and face and lightened up so much over the past few weeks. I always think that when I glow like that, it is the Holy Spirit working in me and through me. I am pretty sure you have the Holy Spirit glow. I am absolutely loving your Vlogs also. Excited to see what this year brings. Yay, and Happy New Year to you Michel and friends. Give Max a kiss from me.
Michel I love your parents ❤❤ May I ask where the white half zip sweater you’re wearing here is from? 😊😊
I love your parents. Your so very lucky to have their support. They are articulate and kind and love you so much. I’m new to your channel but you are so strong and life will be better for you. I’ve been there but had 2 toddlers at the time that I chose my future happiness and health and role modelling the family I want for them even though I was the first divorce and stigma attached back over 20 years ago. Believe in yourself and nothing is impossible. You are intelligent, young and beautiful and a solid upbringing. You got this!!
I love how pure Michel is. Her parents are so supportive and precious and I’m so thankful that she has their support through this time.
Your parents advice to us going through something similar made me cry but was also the highlight of my day ♥️ thank you to all three of you for this video.
Hello sweet lady.
I was told when I broke up with my husband that you can change back to your maiden name at anytime. No need to wait for divorce or anything.
You maiden name is your name.
The name you are born with.
I almost always play boardgames with my parents for new years. Me and my hubby love it lol. It was one of my requirements when we started dating. Any New Years possible we hang out with my parents and play games and do puzzles lol.
Also I'm glad you got to keep Max. He lives you so much 😊 I'm glad he's okay.
Michel, I am happy to hear that you are no longer hoping for a reunion with Brook. Mainly because I feel that he was not a good person for you. I feel that you are way above him in so many areas. I know that you admired his ability to not people please, but keep in mind that there is a difference between someone who doesn't allow peoples opinions affect his opinion of himself and someone who is willing to listen to peoples input or feedback of something he is doing or how he is behaving. My observation of him, although limited, was that he appeared very selfish, and also quite apathetic to what others felt. I truly believe that God has someone so much better in mind for you, and you will see that you will not have to settle for someone who takes you and your beauty for granted. I promise you, Brook is the one who is missing out, and who let you get away, not the other way around.
It’s simply wholesome that you and your parents are basically wearing the same clothes. Thanks for sharing!
Seeing this makes me realize that Michel is her mom’s look-alike and Jacqueline is her dad’s look-alike!
I love your parents! What a blessing to have them in your life🤍 they are a true gift! I’m feeling so hopeful in this new year that you will be able to find so many new treasures in life and experiences that will be so precious.
Your parents are literal angels on earth I love them and feel like I know them 🥺
I wish my mom would care more about my mental health then what people think … she makes me doubt and feel bad about getting a divorce
I want your parents to adopt me!!!!
I’ve never commented on a video on RUclips, EVER! But I have to say I adore you! Just sending you all the hugs & love & praying all the blessings over your life 🤍
Your makeup in the opening clip was stunning! I would never have guessed you have dry skin. You and Max will remain in my prayers for continued healing and happiness. You're doing great, Michel. You are going to come out of this stronger.
I loved this segment with your parents, great idea getting their perspective and sharing that with us. Thanks Michel. Better days are ahead 💛
Michel, I’m just so thankful for your parents, and that they are a beautiful influence in your life. I know how important and precious that is. Hold tight to your family. 🙏🏻💕
Michel your parents truly are amazing. Family can be the silver lining in really tough times 💕
What an awesome video! Your parents ... I have no words - amazing, awesome, beautiful, kind, loving, etc, etc... What a blessed young lady you are and so are they. Congrats to your sister on her up coming wedding. X X X Hope Max is feeling better soon!
When your dad looks like Biden and talks like Bush 😆 his nickname needs to be el presidenté!
As an observer, it really feels like you have found the road you are supposed to be on. Something was steering you there all along but you had to take the other journey first. This road is going to be smoother and more beautiful and take you on so many new adventures that align with the real Michel. It will take you HOME.
Beautifully said Amy.
I LOVE YOUR PARENTS. IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW THEY RAISED SUCH A LOVELY DAUGHTER.
I love the relationship you have between you and your parents. It's amazing how supportive and affectionate you all are. I'm pregnant right now and never had a relationship like that with my parents. I was wondering if there was anything you could share about how you are so close to them, because I'd love to have that relationship with my daughter. ❤ Take care Michel!
I am so glad you have parents who love you and - even if they might not understand everything going on with your marriage - support you. ❤️
So happy your parents are so loving and supporting of you!
Hope Max is feeling better! If this keeps happening and starts throwing up in addition to blood or mucus in his stool have them check for pancreatitis. My poor dog was having blood in her stool and then vomiting and no interest in her food. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis is a special diet and only has small flares once in a while. Best to you!
It is so very kind of your sweet parent to extend kindness and warmth. It is amazing! I don’t have supportive parents so this warms my heart like no other. Thank you so much! 💗🥰
I am also blessed with amazing parents like yours. Maybe that’s why I’m loving the content with your parents. 💕
You have such sweet and supportive parents. I'm so happy that they are able to support you through this.
Your dad has like the purest spirit it’s so sweet.
Am i the only one who wants Michel's songs playlist. Love the songs ❤
I love your family so much!!!! I've thought this for years but like, I always wanted and felt you belonged in Texas and always prayed you may end up there again, sad it is for sad reasons but I can't help but think this is where you are meant to be in life and back with your amazing family and all the memories you are making with them and that makes my heart so so happy for you to be on this path in that type of way! many prayers for a bright future and the love with your family and friends will carry you though as well as the lord will guide you in your new journey of life!
your dad reminds me of my dad. I miss him so much he passed away when he was in his 60s. Same personality and very thoughtful and wise.
Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Janse ❤ the friend group values your opinions highly!!
You are such an inspiration! I just found your channel and although the journey has been hard for u, you have handled it amazingly. I love max and your parents and you r hilarious and wish I didn't live all the way in VA cause u would be a blast to hang out with... especially thrifting! Keep up the great work. New favorite channel!
I love that you spent New Years with your parents playing board games. They are so supportive. You should let your feelings unravel and once the pain fades, there is joy. Enjoy this season in your life. It isn’t just about the loss of your marriage; your home…it’s also your new beginning of living your best life for you! Honor your heart.
I went through a divorce after almost 4 years of marriage. I was so relieved when I finally told my parents that my ex-h and I were having issues (he was deployed). He cheated on me, and continued to cheat on his next partner.
I’ve now been married for almost 15 years to a great guy who taught me what love really is. It’s out there!
Kudos to your parents, it’s so nice to have supportive parents. I was truly blessed with mine.
❤️
Oh waww, your parents are so emotionally intelligent. You are truly blessed to have them.
Happy new year!! Also, the topic of brain dump is funny because I don't really thunk of them as lists lately although I have kinda put them like lists with things I want to look up, but... put in feeling too and random opinions and I swear more things with come out of your subconscious that are needed than just writing what is on the normal to do. If that makes sense. I just recently have done my first real two page Spread in a journal labeled brain dump and I felt the more freedom to put it down without restrictions that more I got out of it.
Michel, I'm so happy to see you without all the stress. You are being your true self and you are starting to shine BIG. I couldn't be happier for you. Enjoy this time in your life. You are in the best of it, right now! Take your time and Mr. right will be there before you know it. We all deserve to be wanted in the same way as we want them. I'm wishing you the best of luck with many God's blessings.
Oh, cherish your wonderful parents. They are truly your rock.
Legit, Lol when you're dad said "bummer dude" about not having upcoming plans with you 😂😂 your parents are the CUTEST. I always enjoy when they are in the vlogs. Love you Michel, Happy New Year!
I completely relate to you “not trusting life” lately. I have had a black cloud over my head with so many things happening in my life as well as my family members. It seems like everything I touch turn complicated. Happy new year to you, may it be a great year for you!
Your parents are so authentic and wise. Love this parents chat, thank you for doing this video. So many people can benefit from their advice.
Michel your channel popped into my feed the other day, I was so impressed with you, your beautiful both inside and out. Your parents are amazing,your mom is so charming.I know you realize just how fortunate you are for their love and support..You are the same age as my eldest daughter and I have sent your link to both of my daughters..You are a lovely example for other young women to follow.I too went through a divorce from my girls father,we were childhood sweethearts,I want you to know, when you receive your decree, it will be a very difficult day. I don't think anyone ever told me that and I wish they had. I will be praying for you, and look forward to your thrifting and antiquing vlogs..Kae~
Your parents are such sweethearts with plenty of great advice. I can see the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. Such joy to watch the three of you ❤️❤️❤️💯
FYI when dogs have blood in their stool it could be just irritation of their bowels and it's quite common (I have 4 dogs) to save money always wait at least 12hrs before taking him to the vet, especially the emergency vet, they are very expensive
Love this video! So glad your parents are so supportive. Sequence is one of my favorites!!
My advice to you, after everything your parents conveyed was to be of similar political beliefs. Years ago it may not have been a big issue in a relationship, but in today's world it is of utmost importance for a happy marriage. Just my two cents!
This video is gold. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us! We love you and your family 🤍
Good morning michel I enjoy your channel and your channel because you are sweetheart and I loved your vlogs yupppp I'm proud of you
New subscriber here. Your parents are amazing and so are you. I'm a pet lover and I feel the same way when my animals are sick. I'm curious how you feel about cats. I highly suggest getting a Maine Coon after having had rescue cats on my life. They are considered gentle Giants and are extremely affectionate, great with dogs and children. We rescued one and she quickly became my son's therapy pet. So We rescued another. I always feel better knowing we have multiple pets to turn to to nurture and comfort, that way if something happens to one of them we still have one that we are bonded to. Keep taking good care of yourself
I love your parents so much. I've seen you all navigate this journey with so much grace, and I am truly in awe and encouraged. I hope to be like them if I ever become a parent.
Amazing words of wisdom from your parents! They are so lovable!!! PS-your hair grew so fast from the last cut you got. Could you make a video on hair products you use. It looks so healthy!
Sometimes things are out of your hands and that is where you were. That was not your fault. You and your parents have handled it well.
