    Ellen, you are such an inspiration to those of us who grew up with parents that were not as kind or loving as you. Breaking generational cycles is hard work and seeing you raise a family over the years has shown me that it's worth the wait, the hundreds of hours of therapy, and choosing differently over and over again.

    I found myself tear up watching this video. I have watched Ellen’s channel since I was in the early years of high school. I am now 23. She is the one channel I have religiously watched throughout the years. I feel such a sense of “home” when I watch her videos. You can truly feel the love and warmth she pours into each and every video. It has been such a joy to watch not only her grow but her beautiful family. She has inspired me and helped me grow in so many ways. It is so special to see all that she has accomplished and yet continue to be such a genuine person❤

    Hey Ellen! I just wanted to stop by & say a huge thank you for all you’ve shared over the years. Before I was even a mom, I have been inspired by your journey in motherhood & especially now that I have two little boys. We shape our lives around being out in nature & growing closer to the land, & you have inspired so much of that. Keep doing what you’re doing! You are changing lives of those who watch & the lives of their children too💛✨

    Gosh, sometimes I gaslight myself and tell myself that my childhood wasn’t that bad, but the fact that a lot of my trauma stems from my mother having the complete opposite reaction to every thing you mentioned really says a lot. I need to be kinder to myself, and I appreciate hearing your experiences and perspectives x

    You are a wonderful woman, Ellen, and you are blessed to have a fantastic family! I know that everything you have in your life took "a lot of work". Your wonderful family, your relationships, your friends, the priceless memories you have with your mother...all of these are an integral part of your life. I am happy that you have your dream come true! Be healthy and happy, love each other so much and raise your children with love! I am convinced that you will teach them how to become good, smart and intelligent people! You know how.

  • @TheMennomilist
    @TheMennomilist Год назад +19

    You and I were the same. I was/am very outgoing and wanted to be friends with everyone, but was "the weird girl" that people wanted to change to be like them (when I liked me being ME). It never stopped me from being kind to them, even when they were cruel. It is nice to know someone else went like that.
    That is beautiful that your mom didn't yell at you over the spillage of spaghetti. I think when my older boys were little, I yelled, but I became conscious about it and stopped over time. It was hard, because I was often yelled at at home as a child and grew up around a violent father. I am thankful that I was able to change and a lot of people tell me I have a lot of patience, which is incredible. My children really love how I have parented them and it makes me really glad that I fixed my own mistakes early on so their childhood would be more relaxed and happy, without worry of living in fear of the people who should love them the most.
    You are a great mother and I am glad your mother taught you so much and left you with a great example.
    Your hair looks lovely. Being pregnant, my hair has been thinning, and I had to cut a few inches from the bottom early on (My hair was to my mid to end of my thighs and I am tall, but now it is to the middle of my bum). I hope it thickens again after birthing and maybe I will go get it done one day. I have only had my hair done at a salon twice, once at the age of 8, and once at the age of 29.
    Very much loved listening to your monologue throughout this too, especially at the end.

    Oh Ellen I wish I'd had your mum or someone like you as my mum. My parents shouted at me and shamed me, never supported me in the way I needed and never attuned with me. I had bullying too but always took it that there was something wrong with me. Now comes the generational transformation as I am not only healing my own traumas but I am making sure I parent my own children in the way I needed which is what they truly need. Thanks for sharing this its exactly what I needed and I had a good cry. There is nothing money can buy to give kids the ultimate privilege. To be heard, cared for and nurture in a loving and respectful way.

  • @amyeastman8764
    @amyeastman8764 10 месяцев назад

    This is so important! I grew up with parents who made it clear that nothing I did was right. I swear I cannot use a dishwasher to this day without anxiety because of how my mother would critique how I loaded it and it was NEVER right. Lollll…ugh.
    As a result, I have very little confidence and self esteem even to this day and I’m in my 50s. I’ve improved that over the years but it’s scary how this imprinted so much on me. I was never really treated with kindness and patience. Always irritation. Of course my mother has a very different version of my childhood and would never,never believe “my version”.

    I totally get what you're saying. I used to be very insecure and not comfortable with my body, and so I would be very judgemental with other people, saying things about their bodies and themselves (I kept those comments to myself, just so you know). But I started working on my self confidence and loving me more, and now I understand that everybody is different and that's the beauty of it. I stopped saying mean things to myself, and so I did to people. I was also bullied in school, and thank you for sharing your experience. You are an inspiration!

    I watch you since it was only 3 of you and this was one of the greatest, most touching video you created. I truly love and admire you guys, thanks for constantly sharing the light and good energy with us ❤

    I love you and your channel! You are so sweet and transparent. I was bullied to a lot of my life too! I love that advice. My mom would tell me I’m beautiful inside and out, smart, and friendly. And that I would do big things in life. I always remembered that.

    I think this is one of my new favorite videos of yours, Ellen! 💕 You always portray the beauty in your life in such a perfect way. I loved the theme of lessons you’ve learned and especially your relationship with your Mom..how special! Your videos fill me with not only inspiration but a lightness and joy that carries with me throughout my day. You are an incredible mother, wife and video creator and I wish you all the best 🥰 thank you for sharing your messages of love, gentleness, and health
