  • Thank you so much for doing life with us through all these years. We appreciate each and every one of you tremendously.
    As I’m sure most of you are aware, we have been seeking the best path forward through the shifting circumstances that this past year has presented us, and with some time off this Holiday season to process and reflect on what that best path is, we have arrived at the very difficult decision to discontinue the So Far, So Good podcast and slow down on our usual content in general on this channel. This decision was not made lightly, but it has become the clear step forward for our family.
    Specifically, I (Gabriel) am feeling I need to make content creation less of a priority after a decade with it being my job. I need to make my family a greater focus in this next season, find balance and margin, and then explore where else I can push myself creatively.
    If you’re a member of So Far, So Good please check the members app/site or your email for all updates.
    Thank you for understanding and for your willingness to do life with us!
    With bounds of affection,
    Jess & Gabriel xx

    Guys I love you both and I have since 2017, I’m sure 100% that Gabe is an amazing husband, father, friend and I support him through all the mental and emotional things he’s been through, but I feel like this might be a sign to let Jess carry out the content, every time there’s a change on their content is mostly because of Gabe, whenever he’s needed time or wanted to try another type of content/career, again I support it, but honestly Jess has so so much potential, she knows how to listen to her public and that’s why everything she does becomes very successful, no hate, not saying she’s better, but she has a special touch for her ideas and she definitely needs to let her spark shine to its fullest on her own (no guys, this won’t have to do anything with their marriage it’s social media, grow up) I feel she’s been held back for being in this shared plataform

God forbid a man has any issues it’s not easy to address because they’ll then just use it against him. They built something amazing online together and it’s a damn shame some of you woman on her make it about sides or holding someone back.

    Jess - don’t forget about you. As a long time viewer it seems that you sometimes dim your own light so Gabe and equally shine. You have more followers and such because we love you, and can relate to you so much. Consider doing a podcast by yourself!! Light YOUR light shine, as bright as it’s meant to be.

Imagine making sides and accusing one of dimming the others light, why can’t you guys look for solutions instead of asking for problems… oh yeah you guys don’t know the full story yet you have enough to make this statement. Sick mentality this is because he also sacrificed a lot for her and his family that he now has, can’t blame a guy for trying and you can’t expect him to always meet the expectations of those that only want problems and making sides. They both need strength through the hard times just like a lot of families right now.

  • @itskaraelizabeth
    @itskaraelizabeth 4 месяца назад +673

    I’m probably going to get so much crap for this but not gonna lie this was hard to watch. Something about it rubbed me the wrong way. Most people don’t get the luxury to only do what inspires them and when they feel inspired. Most people have to go to a full time job, away from their kids, that doesn’t inspire them, just to pay the bills and feed their families. My husband works full time, plus part time, plus is in school full time and gets to see our son for a few hours each day before bedtime, and we don’t live in some big house in a huge city. His inspiration is that he wants to make sure we can pay our mortgage and feed our son and have a good future, he gets next to no time for things that are inspiring to him or fun or creativity fulfilling. To me this came off…I don’t know the words, out of touch maybe .
    Although I’ve been a viewer since the engagement video and saw you guys on tour, bought merch, etc, I’m not upset with you guys that videos are ending, you don’t owe us anything, but I just feel so bad for Jess. It must be super stressful to have to be the breadwinner/rock for the family all the time, and she’s went through so much with moving across the world, and her residency and citizenship struggles, and doesn’t get to see her family much and i can only imagine it gets stressful or frustrating seeing him start and stop new projects all the time. (Music, acting, conteam clothing, new earth, grace coffee, his first podcast, this podcast, a ton of rebrands on RUclips,etc) And she’s made it clear she’s been asking him to do a podcast with her for years and he went and did one with his friends instead, which also didn’t last long, and now she finally got to do it and he quits a couple months in because he doesn’t feel “inspired”. I don’t know, it all sounds very selfish to me and out of touch. How many times has he started and stopped projects, it’s almost just unreliable at this point. And most of the “we’s” really just sounded like “me’s”. My hearts breaking for Jess, and I hope he figures out what he truly really wants to do for the long term and gets some appreciation that he’s incredibly blessed to be in the position he’s in. Trust me I was hospitalized for depression, so I get it, it’s really hard to be in a rut all the time. I don’t know, this just made me frustrated for Jess. Okay, let the nasty replies begin.

    • @fakhras8393
      @fakhras8393 4 месяца назад +135

      I totally get what you’re saying. I said to my husband while we’re watching this that does Gabe think he’ll be inspired or not get burned out if he worked a 9-5 ? Influencers are privileged with (freedom) whether they admit it or not. They keep saying that we dont know how hard it is to be an influencer and that they need to be inspired all the time to continue working but guess what? We go to our normal jobs uninspired and work our asses off to provide for our families the life that we deserve. I’m a person that thrives on being inspired and motivated and since my work doesn’t allow it I dont quit my job but do other things on the side that inspire including being a parent

      You said everything so perfectly and how I was feeling and thinking. Wow. I agree 100%. You said so many points that I agreed on but I will point out one in particular that I do heavily saw.. the “ we” but it was really “ me’s” it’s definitely how Gabe feels over the situation. Jess seems inspired and consistent so yeah I felt super bad for her. She kind of has to follow along even though she maybe still has that excitement for the podcast. Plus he did all the talking here and she filled in so that means it’s how HE really feels. Sucks but life’s hard like that for everybody. I hope Jess can do what she wants and hope Gabe gets better

      For someone who says they were hospitalized / treated for depression you sure don't have any empathy. Everything he has said, everything he has tried to verbalize SCREAMS depression. He is doing the best he can and you basically told him because he lives in a big house and has options you don't he should suck it up. Your self absorbed statement comments were a pity party for yourself.. Time to go back to therapy I think.

      She’s honestly such a star, she’s always saying she’s not that good or whenever she gets recognition she says Gabe is much more creative etc than her, which is only part of her very humble soul but I think it’s time for her to reach full potential, whenever they take a break or change something it’s because of Gabriel, not to say he’s bad for her or a bad husband, they love each other so much and he’s the head of the home, but it shouldn’t stop her from taking the lead on the content from now on which I think would be very good

    This totally makes sense for you guys. I have sensed for the past few years that Gabe would probably thrive in a career that is not a social media influencer/creator type as he continues to mature. Sometimes it’s also nice to work FOR someone and not feel beholden to managing a persona. I’m sure financially it is difficult to make a decision like this, but your relationship and your mental health matters more!! Wish you guys the best.

Jess would thrive doing projects that focus more on her female supporters because we can all relate and it’s not to take away from Gabe, but to showcase that she has her strengths and he has his as well. I’ve always thought Gabe should try to work for a production company cause his vision is mind blowing, so I hope he can find something he actually enjoys apart from trying to stick to social media only. It may even be interesting to us to hear about his work day and how he could integrate his learnings from work into their channel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Regardless, best wishes to you both!

So sad. I wish Jess would continue the podcast, we would all still listen!!! 😭🥺🧡 seems that Jess has to just follow Gabe in whatever he wants and give up stuff every time. Most working people don’t have the luxury to just leave their job because they “don’t feel inspired” and they have to stick to something to support and feed their family. Also ik this is a hard job, but it’s also chill and fun to just hang out and have fun convos with friends, and you didn’t HAVE to make such strict weekly upload schedules… lol it’s your podcast, you can do whatever you want with it and upload whenever you want. There’s no reason to let it stress you out like that. I hope that Jess finds her new dream and passion too because she had to give up this one.

      It is easy to assume things about other people's relationships, specially when it is public. I've been following their relationship since they were dating and I could have the opportunity to see how much they love and care for each other, even though I know there are parts of their lives they keep privet. When I read this comment I could put myself in their shoes and thought about how hard it is to read a comment like this about someone I care so much.
      On one hand, how can you keep doing something you like but hurts or make someone you love feel so uncomfortable. If you love someone, you can't avoid feeling their pain too. I cannot say this with 100% sure, but maybe Jess is giving up the podcast because she sees how Gabe has struggled with this kind of situation before, and on this context it's not a sacrifice, it's an act of love and compassion.
      On the other hand, It's not easy to verbalize when you are struggling with something that makes the person you love feel happy about. I don't see Gabe demanding this "sacrifice" from Jess, it's clear how bad he feels to ask something like this from her.
      I'm not married but I know that being in a relationship means making hard decisions from both sides.
      And now I say this to Jess and Gabriel, if you are reading this: Keep listen what God is saying to you. He feels your pain and He knows your dreams. Just keep having faith in Him and be sure that you'll know what to do that will be better for your family!! Maybe this will be an opportunity to advise your daughter when she goes through this kind of situation in the future or maybe it's just the end of a season and the beginning of another one.

      The only thing heartbreaking here is Gabe not feeling fulfilled!! That could really drive a person mad!! Jess being his rock and support and devoted WIFE, is faaaaar from heartbreaking!!!! This is what a real marriage/relationship is!!

  • @cecygamboa6162
    @cecygamboa6162 4 месяца назад +8

    I think Gabe really started the whole vlogging thing and helped Jess come out of her shell. However, Jess is now her own person on social media! Although we love them together, she doesn’t need him to continue with the things she’s passionate about. She should continue the podcast! I would listed…

  • @vxlenciix
    @vxlenciix 4 месяца назад +12

    This video made me so uncomfortable on Jess’ part. I feel like Gabe dismissed a lot of the comments she was trying to make about the situation. Also, he’s in the process of making a short film, but can’t stick to a podcast out for Jess. I feel as though he’s envious of Jess’ own popularity and success, as the end of the podcast was a sacrifice she made for Gabe even though she had made it clear to him for years it was something she wanted to do.

    I love you guys so much 🩷 100% respect this decision. With that I wanna say how much the Jess & Gabriel duo helped me through some of the hardest & lowest times of my life, I’ve been watching for nearly 9 years, your podcast released when I needed it most & truly helped me through a difficult season, I know God was behind it all, the podcast, the vlogs, the last near decade of Jess & Gabriel. Thank you two so much for the light you brought to my life along with so many others! I can’t wait to see what God does with your family next! 💌

I’m happy you’ll be working towards the desires God has put in your heart, and I pray that you use your giftings for His Kingdom. Blessings!

    It sounds like Gabe wants to quit ALL social media, not just the podcast. Don’t force Jess out of doing what she wants to do, and don’t try to persuade her in either direction. We need her 😢

      @samanthadancelover 3 месяца назад

      They aren’t quitting the podcast. They are taking a break from it. That is why the title says goodbye for now. Also that was mean. He isn’t forcing Jess to do anything. They have made this decision together and decided to both take a break.

    “Giving myself space to recover and explore.” This REALLY resonated with me. As a video editor experiencing immense burnout, I’ve found it’s something that demands to be felt! You can’t recover without often shutting out all the noise. Exploration is such a crucial part of creativity

  • @mariahcooke5157
    @mariahcooke5157 4 месяца назад +41

    I am 100% the Gabe here but wish I was the Jess! 😂 Jess thrives on the consistency and Gabe needs the project based novelty and I totally get that! I think if you’re that way creatively, some people can’t understand how soul sucking the mundane, predictable jobs can be! I hope Gabe finds something that is project based and offers plenty of opportunities to do new and novel things. I also hope that Jess keeps going and potentially does a women’s podcast on her own. You have to go in the direction that you need to go and people will still follow along no matter what, because you’re great at what you do and professionals! Best wishes guys 🎉❤

    I don't want this comment to seem mean or unsupportive of what Gabe is going through but it seems the reason for them stopping the podcast is cozs of what Gabe is going through, which he needs to work on and figure out. But Jess don't stop your dreams of doing a podcast, as everyone says we would love to see you continue the podcast, the content you post is awesome Jess.

  • @Palmtree44

    Fully support you both regardless of what you are doing. You never let anyone down because you live from your heart--it's obvious! I bought the book "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" that you recommended in Ep 18 of SFSG. It is so good and it looks like you are taking its advice to heart: slow down. I will be doing the same! I've also got on the top of my mind the importance of living with intention and meaning (something I learned from your book Gabe!). So thank you for the help you've provided to me and so many others! In the meantime, Gabe, please consider getting your adrenal and cortisol levels tested, you might be dealing with adrenal fatigue :). Lots of love and prayers to you both, God's clarity will guide you soon enough! 💚

Love you guys and I’m cheering you both on from the sidelines!
    I also would like to add that you aren’t letting anyone down and you don’t sound ungrateful. You guys have been such a blessing to so many of us and it’s so good to see you guys take care or yourselves!

  • @flatass9079
    @flatass9079 3 месяца назад +6

    I think it's about time Jess starts her own podcast and Gabriel gets actual help. This whole cycle of starting and abandoning projects, gabriel falling into depression, making a weak comeback, etc. has happened continuously for the past five or so years. It's high time you guys actually do something about it and this time Jess shouldn't be dragged down too. I hope she does whatever projects she wants to and doesn't dim her light for her husband as always.

    Haven’t watched the full vid yet but read the description and as a moreso silent follower, I wanted to leave a comment just of appreciation for yall. I’ve been here since the vine days and feel like I kinda grew up with yall. Our phases of life aligned very closely and I am now 24 and getting close to trying to kids with my husband. With all of that said, I feel like yall are my friends and as friends and family in Christ, I would like to just say that you guys are doing an amazing job. The Lord will be well pleased with this decision because there is never a time where work should come over family. I highly respect you two and the discernment and prayer you must have gone through to get to this point. Very well done! I’ll be here for whatever you do decide to post and always rooting for you from afar until we get to meet one day, either in person here on earth or in glory with Christ. Either way, yall are family and I am so blessed by you and your content! ❤

    Honestly, this is beautiful & articulated so well. You owe us nothing. It’s so inspiring to watch you both shift into this season of adulthood & parenthood. It should look so different now that you’re 7 years into marriage, been doing this job for over a decade, etc. We all have been at jobs for two years or so, decided we don’t like it or it’s not a good fit, & move to a different career; you both should have freedom to explore. Praying that this is a new start of refreshment for both of you. Praying that God would flood you guys with clarity, provision, direction, & opportunities to go into what you feel gifted with in the film industry. God is up to something so good. I’ve watched you guys since the very beginning…If pastors often take a sabbatical, you should too!!! Nothing about this is selfish or ungrateful. It’s honoring your marriage, your lives, your legacy as a family & as followers of Jesus. You’ve done such a great job navigating everything so well. Praying this is a sweet season. Grateful for you guys so much. 🫶🏻

    I'm sorry Gabe, I heard what you said, but I'm gonna talk to Jess right now: I've never seen you so inspired, sparkling, brave and confortable doing anything as I saw you doing the podcast. I feel like you should keep going. I've been watching you for years and I saw all the struggles of moving out of australia, getting married, having a baby... You've changed in a very good way, but I think it's time for you stop fallowing Gabriel on his decisions - I said following, not supporting - and do things of your own. You're creative and talented. I would definetly watch whatever you decided to do. Go, girl! 🤍

I know a lot of us just want you guys to be happy and want you guys to do it at your own time.

And like anything in life, quality far out weighs quantity, you deserve to only produce what your proud of and not just produce for schedules sake.
    Gabe I really want to personally encourage you from one creative to another, for one of my classes this semester is having to read a “creative devotional book” by Todd Henry, I’m only a few pages in, but the practices he encourages you in are honesty so beneficial. It’s called “Daily Creative” by Todd Henry!

    This resonates with me so much! My friends and i made a podcast in 2021 and continued it through 2022, but it eventually became so demanding and even just finding the times to edit the podcast and think about what we wanted tot all about became taxing on all of us. I definitely agree with y’all that it’s the right thing and that it’s one thing you can kinda easily let go of for the time being (if not forever). It’s still fun to have a podcast set up just to talk with friends with lol. It’s fun to chat and hear your own voice. But you guys are rockstars! I hope you both find immense joy in the extra time you have now!

    You guys don’t have to work together if the direction you’re heading is different, honestly. That way it won’t cost your relationship and won’t suppress one or the other. At the end of the day, what matters is what brings YOU the joy. Sure you may lose some audience who does not resonate with your future content, but you’ll gain those who do love it. Everybody wins!
