- This is maybe one of the most raw videos I've ever made showing what my life is really like lately living alone in new york city. If you've been following along for awhile, you know I have a lot going on. But despite the chaos, I'm really excited about everything!! Just in the thick of it right now so I'm not getting out much. It's all gonna pay off one day and I'll hopefully be more out in the city soon :)

thanks for watching! xo
Chelsea, just wanna say I absolutely love your videos. I live in London and I’m also a 30-something (with a couple more somethings), and I just relate to your vlogs on such a deep level. They’re honest and comforting and they help me contextualize my own life.
Thank you so much!
@@ChelseaCallahan is my RUclips crush !!!
Life wouldn’t be fun without a little chaos!!!
Heheeh so true!
I turned 31 last month. It's comforting to see my 30 something peers keep showing up authentically in the world. I think the world really needs that - or at the very least, _I_ do and I'm so grateful for you, Chelsea!
Happy belated bday :)
@@ChelseaCallahan Thank you so much, Chelsea! All the best luck in the content market!
I wish I was still in my 30s and my life is in chaos enjoy it I am now in my late 50s and my life, has been thrown into chaos once again I expect to look back on this time in my 70. Romanticize what’s going on in my life now and take pride in overcoming my struggles I enjoy your videos
you WILL prevail. YOU WILL.
I stumbled across your channel yesterday and am in a deep binging session right now 😂 I’m a 40 something (early side of 40… just saying!) in the UK and I relate SO much to your videos and things you chat about. Thank you for being so natural and relatable! ❤ Lucy x
its ok to miss a run every now and again. training fatigue is a real thing. But morning runs really are the best. its cooler in the morning, and then you have the rest of the day to eat and drink (and stretch)
How happy and grateful I am coming across your channel a while ago!I am a 30-something-year-old going through life alone,living in a big city,and it's so comforting to see you going through everyday and realistic life! Thank you for being a comfort to me ! I'm going through hard times and transition (I have a RUclips channel too just as a hobby),I hope you achieve your goals and share your steps towards them with us, stay strong.
It’s harder now than it has ever has been to live in New York I just want to pass to you I my warm wishes from a fellow Brooklynite
I’ve never been a morning person & the fact that you actually got up & ran anyway is impressive!
Proud of you for getting help with your channel instead of forcing yourself to do absolutely everything on your own. I know that took courage. Looking forward to see how you continue to grow and thrive.
Congratulations on the new management! They realized you have good engagement on your videos and you have the power to motivate/influence people (hence the brain tumor funding surpassing your set goal), viewers love your authenticity, and the creativity of your videos and relate to your content. You're very genuine and people can see feel that! When people watch they can see themselves being friends with you if they knew you in real life, and that's a very special effect you have on people! Including me! Thank you for another fabulous relatable down to earth vlog! 💛💛💛
This is so kind of you to write. Thank you ❤️
I just moved to NYC at the beginning of July. I used your past videos on moving to NYC to help navigate the crazy world of apartment hunting in the city. They were really helpful. As a late 30-something (about to push 40) it was really helpful to have your realistic, down to earth point of view. I am actually working on creating my own channel and I definitely need to give a shout out to you and a few others for inspiring that. My focus is going to be on people chasing their dreams late in life, since I got accepted to acting school I'm going to be in NYC for at least 2yrs. Definitely giving you a shout out!!
Man this is so awesome! Congrats on the move!!
My life is also total chaos right now (in Brooklyn). But good things are happening so I tell myself it's worth it :) Congrats on the growth of your channel! I've been following your channel for awhile and I am happy to see you gain a well-deserved following.
Thank you!! ❤️ so glad good things are happening for you :)
Chelsea, thanks for being my go-to-vlogger these days and sharing the little things that are not so little. Hugs from Ukraine :)
Hugs!!!
I’m German (live in Germany) and I’ve spent the last 3 months in the US for the first time, 1,5 months staying in NY. I love your channel because it reminds me to my time there (I fell in love with NY) and all the places I see in your video are kind familiar for me. And I’m 30 something too, which sometimes frustrates me - but seeing your channel makes me feel always good. It’s never to late to follow your dreams. 😊
Thank you for your vlogs!!! ❤
Struggling through the chaos makes the highs so much more rewarding!!
Congrats on the growing channel. You deserve it.
You're so right! And thank you
I'm a 23 year old from California, I'm struggling with find motivation and what I wanna do/go post-grad but your videos give me this big comfort. I don’t know how things are gonna go but they will be okay, you remind me to take things one at a time.
Awe this means so much. It's definitely gonna be okay, but I understand this struggle in the moment! Enjoy the process :) Sending hugs to ya
I’m a 30-something as well and I love your videos. Your videos are realistic and authentic so that I can relate to you on so many levels. You are a “real person” and not somebody who tries to pretend their life is perfect. Thank you for your content ❤
Having to do everything myself has been the struggle of my life. It's still hard for me to ask for help when I know I need it. And I, too, love moving vlogs!
visited new york for the first time this week and I couldn’t help but thinking about seeing everyone I walked past imagining what kind of lives everyone had there after allowing us an insight into yours 🤍 I can see why you love the city so much!! and harlem was amazing too 🫶🏼
I am so happy that you have kept up with running so well. I am 23 and I have struggled with maintaining a healthy balance with exercising, socializing, and work. Just wanted you to know that I am inspired by you. :)
I have just found you and like the reality you bring to your content .
It shouldn’t all be about what you just purchased, gifted etc.
You say your videos help you and it certainly helps me.
Keep it going❤🇬🇧
i am SO ready for fall 😩 just cuddling up in a blanket and lighting candles while its raining outside.. the feel 🍂🍁
SO EXCITED!!!
Congratulations on getting RUclips staff, Chelsea! So proud of you ❤
I am turning 40 this year, and my life is a giant dumpster fire…
Block those bitches and their Karen comments and keep doing what your doing, because obviously your doing something right.
I also love fall/winter more than spring/summer
ALSO….I think about how many times in my late 20’s n early 30’s when hard Core racing and marathon in NYC….how many times when coworkers asked me to hang out Id have to say
“I cant I have a Long Run tomorrow” “I cant I have a race tomorrow”(9+1). I passed up alot of invitations and social situations bc of training. And ya know what…? No regrets. When I look at all my marathon and triathlong medals hanging in my room Idont regret the lonlieness of training at all
YOU GOT THIS!
Great video as always!! Also the frustrated cry in bed bc you just can't fall asleep but you know you have to get up early is so relatable 😂😔
Hahah it's the worst
@ChelseaCallahan thank you for the video. What headphone are you wearing?
@@TheresaD235 sony WH1000XM4!
Oh Chelsea ❤ I have the exact same issue with anxiety and sleep and it has hindered my running sessions in the past. If I may offer some advice that helped me is to assume AND embrace that you will 100% have bad running sessions (ones where you just don't have the energy). You're just marking them done, by showing up period, even if it's walking half of them. Usually a running calendar is packed enough to allow for missed sessions or subpar sesh. Also, when you can't sleep, GET OUT OF BED. I know you probably know all this and I'm guilty for not following this advice a lot of the time but I've been practicing not staying stuck in the insomnia mind loop. For instance, I turn on a bedside table light, watch some asmr videos (I love asmtwix), I bought a eye massager and practice breathing at the same time to clear my mind. I also have a back massager that I use lying down with the belt massager below my knees and it helps me sleep.
And speaking of unsolicited advice from a fellow 30 sthg runner (not so much right now because I got injured and depression at the same time), give your boobs some love because that sports bra doesn't seem super strong in terms of support. Try Anita Active Bras, they're 🦾 - nothing moves and super soft (just be aware that if you have eternally pointy nips and are self conscious about it and are used to paded bras, these don't have it, I make it work with dark colors).
Allez courage !
11:20 I love the live from Paris version of that song!
Hope all is well sis happy Wednesday 💖 I'm doing better I've been working out to get rid of my fatty liver so far I lost 15 pounds I've been jogging with my roommates
I watched this video when I could not sleep before a 4:30 am 5K run with hills. My work brain won't turn off. But I still did my run and aced it because of determination and this inspiring video. ❤ Thank you, Chelsea!
I am SO ready for fall and winter! Summertime is great and all, I have a huge (for me) garden and I’m loving the life that comes back but I’m ready for the sun to die down. There’s nothing more I love than a hot cup of tea when the max weather outside is 68, is that just me? I recently-ish moved to MN and I feel like I should be relishing every moment of the sunshine instead of dreaming of those 4:30pm sunsets.
Thank you again for the wonderful video! I always look forward to eating a massive bowl of yogurt covered grapes and veging out watching you. Congratulations on the long morning run btw! 💜
YOGURT COVERED GRAPES yum
You are killing it! Keep going and keep your focus on the long-term - the marathon. I am sure that your dad is so proud of you💓 Sure, you have a hectic life with very little to no time to hang with your friends - but this won't be forever. Everything is temporary! Someday you will look back and WOW yourself! You are very inspiring!
You are crushing it all Chelsea! I’ve run 3 marathons…nyc being my first back in 2001….. it’s so hard but you are going to be so proud of yourself…and raising the money….all of it! Be kind to yourself…enjoy some peace and calm… and keep on running!!
Started watching your videos from my dream of living in New York City someday, but now I never miss them for the great feel-good energy you give. I live in a relatively big city too (no where near compared to NYC) byt I can imagine the struggle of managing your job, passion, social life, mental health and everything else. Tbh it's getting more and more difficult every day. You're doing great Chelsea, keep it up :)
Thanks for sticking around :) much love
I agree so much with running in cool weather then hot weather. Even winter runs are killer!! the air smells so much better when it's cold.
Have been enjoying your vlogs so much. It’s so refreshing to have a content creator actually share a realistic and honest lifestyle. 🙂❤️
I also love watching moving vlogs. I hate the actual moving process (like the lugging furniture from place to place part) nut love setting up a new space. So it’s fun to live vicariously through these folks while I save up to move again myself. Especially when it’s someone I already watch, just makes me really happy for them 🙂 And right there with you on being ready for Fall and Winter. I’m in East Texas, it’s been 100° (not counting the heat index, with that it’s been 110°+) for like 3 straight weeks now, bring on the cooler weather please, I’m dying 🥵
Love how you're loosening up and crying as you need to - it's a natural part of life and you'll end up enjoying it. Wow, you accomplish such a lot at the moment, exhausting to watch ! I remember that great feeling running when you think you could go forever. The more natural you are in your appearance, the hotter you seem to me. It is like having a girlfriend, seeing you bouncing around half-dressed doing all those things an intimate partner does in your presence when getting ready.
I’ve definitely had mornings like that where I know I have to wake up but my brain doesn’t stop running, you aren’t alone.
Also when you were watching the moving vlog, I couldn’t help but wonder “is that what I look like when I watch RUclips?”’lol😂love your videos as always
I'm also training for the NYC Marathon...I signed up for the 5k also as a shake out run so that should be fun too! I am pretty sure that the South Louisiana heat and humidity are trying to kill me!!! Best of luck with your training!!!
omg!!! best of luck!!
Thank you for your videos Chelsea! You make us all feel less alone 🙏🏻 keep on going!
Am loving your channel/videos Chelsea!! I get so inspired when you talk about your running or when you show us you're running!! I need to get outside & do more exercise!! Btw I just donated, thank you for doing the run & helping to raise so much money!! You're awesome!!
Thank you for letting us feel we are with you ❤
Just one thing, eating processed meals (including 🥯) and fast food cooked in plastic and in a Microwave is highly carcinogen😢! I used to do that to, eat crap cus of a “lack of time” but things are ok until they don’t! ❤now I pre-cook on Sunday for the week and eat crap only when absolutely needs, please take care , no microwave .
I have stumbled across your channel and love it, I love the honesty and not staged “excitement and things going on” that other channels adopt sometimes, your channel is an oasis to come and chill…I also run marathons and would love to do NYC marathon one day, I’m from the UK so it’s a dream I hope I can make true one day, keep up the great content 👏🏻👏🏻
Appreciating your content as always. Hope you continue to meet the challenges you set for yourself. Well done Chelsea. 🎉
It’s called alignment. That feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be in the exact timing you’re supposed to be there. It rules. 🤙💖🤗
Yes that’s it!
@@ChelseaCallahan 👏❤️🔥
We love you and adore you Chelsea! Huge fans, me and my wife. You are a very inspiring person. Thank you for sharing just the simple every day stuff. In the end it is not simple at all, you are doing it right!
The main thing I’ve learned from
Chelsea is that I should be dancing by myself more
I love this
See taking you suggestions already! I checked out Daphne's vlog and subscribed mentioning it that you mentioned her. Another addition to "my village" of people whose vlogs will help me make my dream come true. I told her, this will be my 73 move. I'm like a nomad, but I've got the moving thing down to a science. But these crossing an ocean moves are a logistical pain in the ass. I came to Oahu with 5 big suit cases and immediately put everything but a carry on into storage. It made it a lot easier. But I've acquired a lot of nice things, so downsizing begins well in advance. It's my least favorite part, then there's the shipping ugh! Chaos equals life. You are doing great! And congratulations on the delegating to a management team! I am so happy for you, really, you are an Entrepreneur and I've been self employed since the dark ages, when I was 28. Smart women know when to ask for assistance. And personally getting to the point where you need help, housekeeper, nanny, employees, is such a good feeling. And yeah you on the fund raising!!!
Great job, Chelsea! I'm sure, you're still doing way better than I am, you can live and work in NYC! Greetings from the EU!
Chelsea, I absolutely love your videos! I’ve been here since ~roughly~ the beginning and I have thoroughly enjoy watching every single one. Thank you for being you.
Thanks for being here ❤️
Pro tip for the fruit fly / gnat problem! Pour a bit of bleach down the drains & cover them before going to bed. (Small glass or ramekin works.) Keep up with this & the home made traps in the meantime & it’ll be greatly reduced… eventually gone. While a bit of “messy apt” isn’t the root cause, it helps keeping the kitchen clean & trash covered / taken out. It happens - the little buggers sometime come in with produce. Can’t be helped really 🤷🏻♀️
Hope this helps! My building’s pest control guy told me this & it’s helped immensely. ❤
THANK YOU!!!!!! I am going to try this.
Yass running in cold weather is the best.
Hi Chelsea!!
I also like to carb load on pasta the night before a run. I have a recipe to share with you that is SUPER tasty and very simple!
I usually hate anchovies when they are stand alone but when they are served like this they just provide a great burst of salty umami.
In a frying pan add:
-1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
-6 anchovies (jarred in oil) finely chopped
-Fry for about 3-5 mins until the anchovies melt down into the oil
-Add 1 garlic clove crushed and fry this for a bit
-Add some chilli flakes
-Boil spaghetti (half a pack maybe?)
-Strain and add the spaghetti to the pan
-Toss through the tasty oil.
-Add pepper to taste.
DONE! Mmmm tasty Carbs! 😍
Could you make a video called “the positive sides of New York” like as a regular person living there?

Yesssss also prematurely excited for fall/winter!
Early morning runs just hit differently. It’s so painful but so satisfying.
Hi Chelsea I am tuning in from Dubai and I am from Dubai ! Your videos inspire me it’s so raw and real.. I’m training for my fourth half marathon in October in London.. thank you for the inspiration and I think your Chanel will grow much bigger keep it up !
Omg good luck!! That’s awesome!
What you said about imperfect training conditions really resonated with me. #justdoit 👟
Hi, Chelsea. I loved your sobriety series, where you talked about the pros and cons of such an experiment, like saving money, but also how it changed your socializing! I wondered if you would want to film something similar where you hire someone to help clean and/or do your laundry once or twice a week, if budget allows. I know it's a luxury, but it also might be an interesting experiment to see what emotions "buying back some time" brings up for you, or if it's actually helpful or worth it. Just a little idea; feel free to disregard! 😄
Running around battery park. Or head into queens for shoreline running.
Melatonin helps with a good sleep.
Ah fear of success is soooo real! We don't talk about this side of self sabotage enough.
Best RUclipsr!! You come across so real!! Worth millions of subscribers!!!
Wow...that's amazing about the money raised. And good for you for getting that run done.
I live in LA and I'm so ready for fall. I even bought a fall candle just to take my mind there. lol!
Smart!
Chelsea, you’re going great guns on personal development, well done ❤. Finding a balance in life is such a challenge, and you’re really working out what your priorities are. Keep on keepin it real 👌
This video came at a perfect time for me 💛💛 thank you
I love your content Chelsea.
Raspberry sorbet is my favorite. I miss the raspberry vanilla swirl they used to sell.
I forgot that flavor existed…..now I miss it too
It’s so nice to see the reality of your marathon training! I’m preparing for my first half marathon in April next year so I know I’ve still got ages but there are days when I just don’t know why I’ve signed up for it 😂😅
Omg good luck!!
Chelsea🎉🎉🎉you have a team! Whoa! So excited for you❤️🔥
Be messy and don’t feel bad about it! Our apartment on the UWS is not really messy and we still have fruit flies 😅 they feel like more of a thing this year than in previous ones. We got these cute little traps that look like apples at a hardware store? 😂 Anyway. Love your channel!
I also love moving vlogs- can't wait to see yours!!!
ugh, this is exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. ty Chelsea :)
your videos bring me a lot of comfort and excitement for the future and remind me i am exactly where i need to be right now 🥲❤️
Running is such a cathartic experience at times…. I’m struggling since it’s 110 in my part of Texas
That’s horrible 🥵🥵🥵
Wow congrats on the management team! Hope they help relieve some of the stress so you can focus on you and the upcoming marathon! xoxox
My life is also chaos, but it's going haha. Everywhere's been just so hot lately. Stay safe out there!
I see myself in you, Chelsea. Take care!❤
My head is spinning because I live in Charleston,SC and we have a cruise ship docked behind us .I btw,work in management so I understand your chaos..😮😮😮
I left town - the weather was Perrrrfect.
Your doing well babe stay in shape
Girl, please don't burn yourself out! I couldn't exercise for like 6months because I wasn't getting enough rest and burned out... hope you were able to catch up on sleep after your rough night
Yesss definitely feeling better! Thanks! Glad you recovered also :)
Wow you have some serious discipline doing that run on no sleep. Respect!
i love how realistic you are 😭💓
Always excited when you upload ❤
🤣 that's why my caffeine cut off is 1pm lol. My body is just entirely too sensitive and I will be up all night thinking and talking myself right into the looney bin 🤦🏾♀️😅
Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are doing just great. Don't worry be happy-Meher Baba
A few weeks ago i didnt know i was going to nyc in september🎉 just thought fuc* it i want to visit! I wanted to see nyc all my life and im from europe 😊 cant wait
Yessss enjoy!!
Awesome video. I know you are moving in the fall, have you found a new place yet? Didn’t know how far in advance is needed to secure a place. Have a great day ❤
Liked the video before watching it! I trust you :) and I am gonna watch all the ads because you deserve it. 🙌
Thanks love!! Xx
Fruit flies...well, I saw that banana. I don't allow bananas in the house in the summer. I make sure all the soft skinned fruit is in the fridge. If I want to ripen a peach, say, I wrap it in a cotton kitchen towel and leave it out for a couple of days. But the real culprit has definitely been bananas.
love u chelsea ,keep going girl
Love the sense of humor!
Watching you edit a video is so meta 😄
Ok, you motivated me! 🙌😊 If I lived closer, we’d be best friends in chaos 🫶😆
😄😄Another great video!! Hang in there.....your doing great!!🤪
Love this vloggy NYC ❤
yay new vlog
I love you keep doing what you do I wanna move to NYC
