For Gabe, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus is the way. You are not alone in feeling the way you do. Jesus sees you.
I am glad they talk about Gabe’s burn out and mental health.
So many people struggle with mental health and stay silent, and speaking about it is so helpful for the person that is in pain. I am proud of you for sharing.
It truly is crazy how much goes in behind the scenes with content creation and they truly don’t get a break because the viewers are never garunteed but I wish you all the best and we’ll be here when you get back
As a health care worker I understand, and lived burnout, I understand what you are staying! I left my job because I knew I would be no use to anyone if I continued at that pace! I now have a job where I work only 40 hours/ week, and am finding more balance in life, enjoying having a day of rest (Sabbath) one day a week ( which is a gift and command from our Father God), and starting to feel built up inwardly and outwardly! Ask God how He wants you to move forward. He gives wisfom yo those who ask!❤
Mental health issues are so tough. I've experienced mental health issues my whole life and I know it can be exhausting, it can feel hopeless. I know it's also hard to support your spouse dealing with these things. God bless my husband.
Jess, your support towards Gabe means the world and any effects it has on you plus your own individual mind and experience are valid. Gabe, you are not weak or a burden. Take care, both of you. ❤
Really appreciate your honesty and openness. Love you guys so much and praying that you will be able to rest and recover over the new year period 💛
jess's mum needs to do the podcast!!!
will miss ya'll but super glad you're in tune for yourselves and your family. enjoy the holidays and your family and get some well deserved rest. thank you for all the content and inspiration year round! ❤
I legit just listened to this podcast yesterday while I was getting ready for work, but for some reason today I wanted to listen to it all over again, I must’ve loved it that much!! Keep it up guys! Happy Holidays and God bless!!
I left my job earlier this year for several reasons, but burnout was one of them. What I originally thought would be a couple months of a break turned into the past nine months of a sabbatical and it’s been SO GOOD! If you’re able to financially do it, then do it!! I learned so much and just accepted a new job and feel super rested and excited for the next season. It was also so great to see the Lord‘s faithfulness and provision, when I was obedient and learning how to rest with Him 💗
I loved this comment! It’s awesome you were able to take a break and slow down for a bit ❤️ I’m going through something similar, except I lost my job. But looking back I was definitely experiencing burnout, working in customer service at a bussssy bank drove me to feel burnout. From the job itself to the people coming in and being short staffed. I haven’t been working for nearly 4 months now (and am obviously looking for a full time job), but I do agree that the time off has been so good. Definitely think Gabe (and everyone really) could use a few months off to recharge 🫶🏻 sending love to everyone experiencing burnout right now 💕
I feel bad for Gabe, sometimes it seems him and Jess are in different areas of their careers which can be tough. He’s been doing this so much longer than her and seems ready to be done. Jess seems like she still has sooo much she wants to do in social media. I can see that being difficult in a marriage. Hopefully they can come to an accordance.
Scheduling a regular rest period can be so vital. In your rhythm of life, knowing you have April and October, for example, to look forward to as elongated times of rest and being unplugged can be a game changer! ❤
Hi Jess and Gab, I've been waiting for this podcasts where you guys talking bout F1 so thank you so much for telling us your experience!
This was a lovely candid conversation. I thought it was interesting that when Jess brought up the concept of “long service leave” in Australia, Gabe immediately brought up that companies probably fire people before they are able to use their long service leave. This struck me as a very visceral difference in the work-life balance culture in America vs. pretty much every other developed nation. It’s seen as radical here in America to take this kind of break, and pretty much laugh-able to expect to receive a paid leave like this in most jobs. We can’t even get adequate maternity and paternity leave here in the states to take care of a brand new human, yet alone to take care of ourselves. It’s really sad. It’s nice that Gabe and Jess will be able to find a solution that works for them and make sure Gabe can take proper time to log off and rejuvenate and I wish that was the case for the majority of Americans :( Sending hugs, Gabe. I’ve been through burnout and it’s tough. Praying for y’all during this season. Hugs from Dallas!
The F1 experience sounds amazing, and I’m glad you got to go! Praying for you to truly recover from your burnout and find ways to prevent it in the future. 🙏🏽
I'm so glad you guys had a great time in Vegas!! I am a HUGE F1 fan myself so I can't imagine how crazy that experience was for you!! 😁❤️
Kudos to you guys for taking a break. Everyone needs rest, and much needed family bonding .
I’m a student studying medicine and health at the moment and over the past year or two, I’ve just become more and more burnt out and my mental health has just deteriorated over time, feels good to be able to relate to a certain extent..
you guys are amazing, love you! 🤍
Thank you guys for taking the time to be vulnerable about these kinds of things! This is something i’m learning as a Christian. How easy it is to busy ourselves in the name of “being a good steward” when it can actually set us back more sometimes. Learning how to rest well, and rest in the Lord is hard. Praying the Lord gives you guys wisdom. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was soooo happy listening to the Formula 1 experience! 🙌🏼 I’m so happy for you guysss! Wish you could tell the whole experience without thinking you’ll bore us… would’ve love to listen every detail.
Happy that Jess is an F1 girlie like me ❤
Ps. Take your time to rest and feel better! Happy holidays!
Take a break. Everyone deserves a break where you don't need to worry or think about work. Take it. Your body is letting you know you need it.
Im an F1 girlie too. Love the recap, that would have been such an insane experience!! What a blessing you got to be there
💜💜💜love yall you guys are so real from day one my favorites happy holidays
I really hope you guys are able to find a good balance of this all and I hope you guys have a really Blessed Christmas!
I work a regular restaurant job.. it’s not very hard work and i experience burn out. I think with anything you’ve been doing for an extended period of time will cause burn out. I think it’s a normal reaction.. take the time you need! Also, about resting, we don’t let ourselves fully rest without feeling guilty about it.. and I know it’s easier said than done.. but please rest without the guilt! We will all support you guys no matter what!
I totally understand how Gabe is feeling, after working since 2013 to 2020 I strted feeling really down and depressed, i realized that the more I was moving up in supervisory and management the less connected I felt with people and I needed something much more fulfilling. everybody kept telling me dont leave please stay, you're the best TL we had but for my own sanity i needed to get back to basics. I decided to get out of office, out of admin and just go for a housekeeping job at a care home and i went down from 40 hours to 30 and 4 day week. Insane difference and so much more peace, cleaning calms me down, keeps me grounded and focused and stops me stressing over things i cant control. Gabe I'll say this till im blue in the face and i keep repeating to everyone do CBT. it's the only thing that works. I tried all sorts of things from drugs to holidays but Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helped me understand where my mind was going and how to think in a way that helps me.
I love your and Jess’ channel so much and so glad you guys brought this up!
A song that comes to mind is “rest” by john mark pantana and that has always been a sweet reminder to me🙏🏼
This episode was so needed. I relate to Gabe so much right now
As a business owner, mom & care giver. Burnout is deeply real. You get trapped because there is no pto, no one to fill your shoes etc. I’ve learned that hiring help is essential, you need to sub out literally everything you can. Someone that reads emails, does socials , sets your schedule, orders your food, charges your cameras etc. we all have the same 25hrs in our pie chart… if you need more chill time, somethings have to be moved off to make more space
My friend & I went to the Velocity Invitional the week before the Vegas race in Cali (we’re from Oklahoma) and got to meet Lando and a couple other drivers, AMAZING !!! So jealous !! Love you guys
I just love you both😊 and your vulnerability! Will be praying for you guys🤟🏻♥️
talking about getting fired for having paid leave for a burnout, that happened to me twice now actually, with one happening this year, i was feeling badly burnout by working everyday, barley even being home and seeing my partner, i was planning on talking about this with my boss but then i got into an accident, i fractured my knee really bad, i told this to my boss and also about the burnout, he didn't believe me so he fired me, which forced me to find another job so i could still pay for bills ect, which didn't helped my healing process and made this worse, so sadly those things happen, please take care of yourself Gabe! all the best wishes
Love you guys too. Seasons greeting ❤
I didn't know you guys were into f1 i just love people talking about f1 it's just amazing. I just wish someday I'll have a chance to watch the race live .
Beat episode, loved it. The ending had me in stitches 😂
I'm glad you guys talk about mental health, makes you more relatable to me who also has mental health issues
😂😂😂 oh god, I can't tell how much this pod made me laugh specially the last part. I decided to walk to work just so I can get the time to listen to this and trust me... it was worth it!
I felt so bad for Gabe at the end of the podcast cause I would also feel bad if someone didn't have faith in me for planning stuff.
At the start of this I had a good laugh at the fact Gabe is dressed to go play in the snow (indoors) but then the rest of the podcast it was very nice to have this vulnerable conversation.
He can always getting a part time job to get a change of scenery and not feel so tied to online stuff. He needs to change it up once in a while most of us experience that at our jobs. We all want to do a flawless job and not get criticized or burnout from working so hard and not always taking those breaks at work or mini getaways to recharge.
This is a great topic! I am going into a year break next month because at my last job I worked over 10 or 12 hours a day at times and i so needed a long break. Praise GOD that my husband is understanding and patient with me. I’ll be back in the new year but until then I’ve been working on my mental and physical health 🙏🏼✨
Actually the most I’ve laughed in a good minute 😭😂
“You’re projecting”
“You have no faith in me”
“Merry Christmas”
“Was that sarcastic?”
“No”
“Ok🙃”
Yous are so funny😭😂
Have an amazing and peaceful Christmas filled with love and joy. Take all the time you need to refresh before the new year
PS. Blessed we got a sneak peak of the unreleased song😌🙌
Praying for you, Gabe !!
HUGE F1 fan here haha been watching since 02 when i was 5 years old cuz of my dad LOL So happy to see others enjoy the sport I grew up watching !
Okay, you can definitely talk about F1 as much as you want bc I’m here for it thank you very much
You guys are like the friends I’ve never had. Cheers
I just graduated from college this year, the class of 2023. I have been having the same experience as Gabe, feeling really burnt out despite not doing much being unemployed. It’s just like an accumulation from all the intense years of schooling from a young age? It may sound lazy to some people but to me it’s very true
Hi, as I struggled with several burn outs before I would like to mention, you probably have already, to get your bloodwork tested. If you have a low levels of Vitamine B12, Vitamine D and Iron, and high levels of cortisol it can burn you out over and over again. I now take supplements by breaking the capsule, so the powder in it can be absorbed in the mouth already, also taking vitamin D in spray in the mouth and it helped me to remain stable and not feel burn out. Sometimes your gut isn’t able to absorb these vitamins through your diet and it needs a little help. Wishing you both health and happiness 🙏🏻♥️
Love it 😊
I can relate I’m def burnt out from working nonstop at the hospital! We’ve been very low staff for a few months now
Sending prayers ❤
The ending was so funny 😂 I feel u Jess
Gabe really projected. At the end of the pod lol Thank God Jess is your wife because that wouldn’t turned into an argument for me lol 😂 Hope you recover soon Gabe.
Love your channel ❤
Matthew 11:28
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
I know you get a lot of comments so I hope you read this. I am a long time watcher and am so proud of you two and have loved watching you two grow. Thank you for being vulnerable I know it’s not easy. I pray that y’all can find a sustainable way to continue fulfilling your dreams!
The thing that is burning you out is actually your soul not feeling fulfilled anymore, you are going down a path you have outgrown. And sometimes it’s harder realizing that the you that you are are always changing and evolving. Pushing yourself into the same old mold because it ones worked, IS what makes you burnout. Sit in silence and try to hear your souls whispers. Neglecting the inner voice is how it starts… sounds like you need to listen more deep Gabe.. ❤
I wonder if it has to do with just a little bit of seasonal depression while also just burnt out at the end of the year. Regardless, I wish you both the best and will be here whenever you want to come back if you need to take a break❤️
I'm going to see us through F1 two weeks ago beginning our time.
As a huge f1 fan haha I absolutely love when you guys talk about f1 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Gabe literally just described what I am experiencing. This year has been a bit intense.
You guys are my « F1 » celebrities ! ❤😉 hope Christmas vacation will brig your rest and love !
Merry Christmas! 🎄
I think it's about regaining the perspective that helps you to carry on. It is very complicated and difficult, especially when they are identifiable feelings, but doable. Should you not have been influencers, you probably wouldn't have the F1 opportunity. It's an effort but worth putting more weight on the good. Nonetheless, you have such a healthy approach to everything, I am sure you will be feeling more like yourself soon. Much love and support.
❤ this!!
Hey Gabe if you see this, I highly recommend doing the “16 personalities” test online. I’ve been dealing with really serious burnout for months now and after doing that test, it gave me tons of feedback about why I’m burnt out and what type of things affect me most daily. I also learned that certain personality types are prone to burnout for certain reasons and it can be really constructive & helpful to learn more about yourself in order to approach life/work in a way that works better for you personally.
Sending lots of positive energy your way!😌
Yes! My family is going through a stressful time, and we recently got back into that stuff, and it's helping us so much! ❤️
Gabe and Jess, take some time off between Christmas and the new year. Shut down all of the camera's, block out your calendar for all of January in the years following next year because you know you need it this time of year. Make it your plan to step away. Be bored, be relaxed, enjoy life. So many people, myself included, regret not taking that leave, or enjoying being young.
Love the F1 recap😅 the next season can’t come soon enough 😂
sooooo funny at the end.. love you
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is such a GOOD book! I recommend everyone to read it!!
That's love.
I think Gab is evolving and better managing his ups and down. ❤
Yes Praise God!!!!!
I think you guys deserve a vacation though.. like a nice month Europe trip or going to a country you all haven’t been to. Specially now, y’all are young and I’m sure financially stable enough to afford it. I told my hubby next year we are doing it! I keep saying once I’m done with medical school but honestly why wait..
Gabe had me screaming at 32:00 minutes. I hope he has slept off his offense. Y’all are hilarious. Merry Christmas! Enjoy your Anniversary and New York! 🥰🫶🏽
Agree 😂. From 32:00 onward
You are human. You are ALLOWED to feel burnt out.
Even if you are passionate and grateful for the experience.
Taking care of yourself is such beautiful thing, and just as important, if not even more, as anything else in your life.
You have a beautiful life, but to be apart of your beautiful life, you need to care for yourself.
Take pride in taking a break, because it’s something people can look up too. ❤
Jess! Any New York novel recos?? Would love to hear what you've been enjoying!
Not me watching and listening to you guys while cleaning the kitchen and doing the dishes 😁😁
💜💜💜💜 my love you Happy Holidays because christmas presents are awesome 😎😎😎👍👍
Take as long as u need!! We understand! Ur mental health is more important to us especially with having a baby girl now to be stable for u! Burn out is real for everyone even content creators! U guys spread urself too thin and need breaks just like ppl with other jobs!! We have days off and vacation time for our breaks when burn out happens to us!
love hearing the updates, and I’m not going anywhere! You are both my favorite content creators, and if either of you need a break, the true fans will be waiting when you return. Prayers for you both :)
Jess: Quote this in the…
Gabe: Garfield
Jess: oh I was gonna have them comment below
Have: not Garfield, comment below
Loved this episode, felt super authentic
I need more F1 content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kiki Meets World is in NYC right now for Vlogmas and she went to see the new show “Merrily We Roll Along”. She gave it a 10/10…. It’s the hottest ticket on Broadway 🎭
"I just love your videos because you are so precious for me
I’m wondering, what if Gabe is supposed to be talking about mental health? When you go through something, you’re able to speak about it in a language people can relate to. I think when you have a platform, God works through you to showcase to others they aren’t alone in this common experience. Common doesn’t make it fun or normal or how one should operate indefinitely. While I wish you weren’t going through it, I think it’s amazing you’re sharing. Holidays can be so polarizing, some have a wonderful time while others are just trying to get through to new years. Praying for a purposeful restoration to arrive. Blessings to you and your family in Jesus name. 🤍 🕊️
Jess needs to give us an update on the calendar😂
Hope you guys are okay! I know there was a few tornadoes that touched down near you guys!!!🤍🤍🤍
Hi, just a genuine question from a non American. Why would anyone move anywhere near where tornadoes are a real threat? Not being American I never understood why people willingly live where there is a risk of injury or death. Thanks in advance❤
@@soullessnight6539 honestly tornadoes are a threat anywhere in the Midwest and south/southeast. And they can happen anywhere really. They’ve been occurring in the southeast more and more frequently in recent years. In America you’re not really “safe” from a tornado. Also people have lived in these areas for generations and we’re not gonna abandon a whole geographic of the US cause of bad weather. There’s other types of bad weather in the US too. For example, New England has blizzards. Southwest has extreme heat at times. Places like Minnesota have extreme cold temps. Can’t escape bad weather over here unfortunately.
@@Walkinjoyaww, thank you so much for your reply. I guess I understand the generational thing and not wanting to leave. I just don’t think I could move anywhere were the risk of natural disasters are a yearly thing… I would just be too scared. You may laugh now that I tell you, I’m Australian😂… I know people have this world view that Australia is dangerous. There are parts of the State of Queensland that I have wanted to move to bc it’s just so incredibly beautiful, but every few years there is major flooding so I would never consider living there. Thank you again for you explanation. Please stay safe❤
I think we should in time forever.
It’s not fair that your only breaks are when you’re completely depleted. Breaks are needed during highs as well ❤
Hamilton was amazing on Broadway! I hope you enjoyed it!
Ok but.. we want to see Jess’ advent calendar 😅👀
You DEF should see the Harry Potter Broadway show. It’s super magical and definitely not one to miss!
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
More F1 please
Gabe, I recommend the book: Hope and Help for your nerves from Dr Claire Weeks. She explains how to get out the mental burn out cycle for good. I’ve done everything and she’s done it herself. You will get better, there is lifetime freedom from feeling exhausted. Sending prayers ❤
WAIITTT!! Is y’all’s wedding anniversary the 18th of December too!?!
Yes gabe a lot off people get taken advantage of and get fired before. It happened to a few friends and family of mine.
I would of thought there would be safe guards for this situation. It is very hard to legally fire someone in Australia and if it just happened prior to being entitled to LSL, legally they would have to pay you out? I do, however remember I started my full time job when I was nineteen, stayed five years and resigned as we were moving to a new State. After five years you are entitled to part payout of your Long Service Leave and I was excited to get those weeks but was informed that I was not entitled to it as Long Service Leave only starts accruing from when you are a senior (21), I was so sad😂. I’m just curious on how people you know were sacked prior to their ten years so the employer didn’t have to pay them out when LSL, after five years is payable on a sliding scale?
BURNOUT IS NO JOKE!! I’m burnt out with my job by Wednesday night of each week! I have no motivation and have also been SO tired. Pray for me lol
Praying for you Jessica!!!!! More Grace♥️
I think this is the second or third time that Gabe experiences a phase of depression at this time of the year, which totally makes sense. Holidays and the end of the year can be stressful. We hope you have a nice Christmas break Jess and Gabe, with Makaiah and the Bauers!
Are you going to Rockafeller to see the tree?
You know what... F1's plan of sponsoring you guys worked. Before your posts and before you guys spoke about your experience, I had no desire to go to an F1 race... now its on my bucket list.
we need to know if Gabe ended up getting Jess an Advent calendar 🤣
