JENNNNN... srsly. there's a reason why I'm still such an avid follower of you to this day. every stage you go through makes me so excited for my own future since I'm a few years behind you. you are truly the older sister i've always wished i had. thank you for being so honest and open about your feelings with us! sending you all my love, holly.
I love how open and transparent you are. I think we all use to dream about the day where we have freedom and a closet full of clothes. But as you mentioned growth really shifts your desires. I’m so happy you’re so happy 💜
I love that, “just let people be.” Definitely a lesson I’ve been learning as I turned 30 too 🤍 our peace should hold priority over trying to fix everyone around us. So wise Jenn hehe
Just turned 30 a couple days ago, and learning a thing or 2 about boundaries. I was abit scared thinking that i felt obligated to spend more time hanging out with certain people- but It’s okay to say no.. here’s to growing and learning
My daughters had asked me the other day if i can choose to go back in time, what age do i wanna visit again. Initially I said 18.. then I thought no, I hated school, broke, and remembered how I can't wait to grow up. Then I gave it a hard thought and I know that I love where I am now, in my 30s. Stable everything, financially but most importantly, mental stability ❤️
I’m Mexican American and I’m turning 30 in November! I have two little brothers: 12 & 16. If you want to teach your kid Spanish, put all his movies in Spanish! That’s what we did with our brothers. Of course, also speaking Spanish to him. Absolutely no English for them. Kids learn English as soon as they make it to pre-k! Proud of you for wanting to teach him two to three languages!
Im turning 30 in October and I started to feel very nostalgic, sad even for the end of my 20s. The thought of real growing up and aging hit me hard...I am not married, I dont own a house, childfree. But Im very grateful for these kinds of videos to show me the exciting part of next decade of my life. Im more confident than ever, finally feel somehow free. And I hope that will continue in my 30s.
I didn’t marry until 34 (better to wait for the right one), I don’t have kids and I prefer to rent than to buy. Those things aren’t what define us: the facts are simple: comparing yourself to other people is the easiest way to make yourself feel awful, even though other people may have had help that we didn’t- we don’t see that aspect. Have faith in yourself- the journey is just beginning
I feel so fortunate growing up with you. I'm currently 32 years old and 33 weeks pregnant. Thank you for growing with grace and being so vulnerable with us. Im so excited to see what comes next for both of us
I love how happy you look in this life you built :) for everyone that is NOT at this stage in their life: don't fret! You can get there eventually, and your timeline is not the same as hers or anyone's! I'm 28 and just now going back to school for a career change out of something I thought I'd being doing for the rest of my life. I won't be completely in my career until I'm 32! And that's fine, everyone's life is different. Just a reminder
Freaking loved this video!! The vibes were so beautiful as always and the intro was so unique. I’m 26 and soaking up the last few years of my chaotic 20s but Jenn makes me genuinely so excited for the next chapter when the time is right
WOW this might be one of my fave videos from you jenn 😭❤ i just had a complete breakdown before watching and few minutes into the video, your light and energy already came throughhh! you're so infectious. thank you so much for making 30s and life in general feel more bearable - i look forward to living my best life !!! hate to admit it but im exactly in the phase of my late 20s with all the deep pressure, anxiety, depression, and total confusion. but seeing you surpass this phase and living with pure acceptance, peace, and gratitude makes me feel less worried and excited about hopping into that healthier mindset 🙏 love you always jenn! this video was exactly what i needed right now. a hug in video form 🥺🤗
idk why im shedding a tear while watching this. i will be 27 this year and it scares the shit out of me. i feel like in asian culture, you have to achieve everything in your 20s. but here i am approaching my late 20s achieving nothing. no partner, no money, no summer body. loool. but watching this vid really warms me up a lil bit. dunno why. thank you jenn!!!
Oh definitely, in asian culture there is just no talk about taking things slowly and approaching things just in your own speed. Everything is a battle against yourself and made dependent on your achievements but reality is that life is so much more un-calculated and messy :) I'm proud of you nonetheless internet-stranger, not everything that you achieved has to be made dependent on something that is visible. It can just be that feeling of being okay with yourself 👍
DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING! HAHA. As an Asian (Filipino) woman fully assimilated American (1st generation) I know exactly what u mean but I lived my life my own way! I did my best in HS, I wasn't a super scholar. In college I dropped out of nursing school. A bunch of other decisions. Not rushing to get married or have a career to define me. Now I'm 36 just having my 1st baby (which I've always wanted but at MY OWN TIME). 🥰 U go in your own pace bc if not the only regrets u'll have are the decisions u didn't make for URSELF 💜
Hi Jenn 💮- Love seeing how you are embracing your 30's, the challenges, the blessings, the joy and everything else that comes with it! So proud of you! You are an inspiration!💖👑 Adulting has brought so many realisations and revelations and I feel like we will be 'adulting' forever as each decade is filled with new experiences and lessons. Our relationship with ourselves, others and life just keeps on evolving. Our 30's I feel are the first decade in our lives where we really come into ourselves, even though we are still 'figuring it out' we have also 'figured some things out'. The journey is different for everyone of course but I think most would agree that some stage in our 30's we become more self-aware and honest with ourselves about who we are and what life we want to live, we have more acceptance about what is within our control and what isn't, we have more acceptance towards ourselves as well as others. Our 30's can be stable and turbulent. I hope that as people go into their 30's they can embrace the ride that comes with it and not put too much pressure on themselves with expectations they may have had in their 20's about where they should be in life. Have dreams and goals, work towards them diligently and healthily but check-in with 'why' you are doing things and evaluate if it is really aligned with you and how you want to live. We all change over time. Stay safe and well 💛
I couldn’t agree with you more Jenn! And I hate how the society teaches women to be terrified of growing older. 30 is not old, to those girls who are worried about 30, it literally feels the same but better. I’m now 34, I feel much more emotionally and mentally steady and happy, because I am much more confident in who I am and what I’m capable of, giving less fucks about others opinions. 20s was fun but it was a VERY confusing time trying to figure out who I am, what I want to do and how to do. But you learn and grow, that’s what life is about! One last comment I wanna add, to anyone who feels like you are falling behind compare to your peers. Remember this, NO ONE has a blueprint for his/her life. You can have a plan but life is NEVER going to behave how you want it to. Don’t get stuck on the idea of you need to have your entire life figured out, no one can do that. Enjoy your present, learn from your past, and keep an open mind for your future. It is a marathon, not a sprint, enjoy your journey! 😊
Wow as a 28 year old who went through many hardships, I fear 30. I feel like only now my life has finally begun and I finally have peace. But I feel like I’m not ‘young’ anymore. Your comment is very sweet. I have saved it.
@@Esandeech2 I went through a very rough patch in my late 20s, and eventually found peace within myself. You aren’t alone! It’s easier to say than done, and we all have different experiences. As someone who went through my own dark days, I can assure you, you will get through it! Try to focus on taking care of yourself, you are your biggest treasure, remember that! The society teaches us women 30 is old. I can tell you that is 1000% not true. 30 is not old, you may not be 20 any more but 30 is not old.
Love the interaction with your nanny. My mom is caregiver so when she’s at work i always pray that her employer would treat her right and as a part of family. And not some nanny small person because sometimes this job can be demeaning. I was grateful for the way you hug and called her by name.
I'm in my late 20s' and exact 29 years old this year. Since starting 2022, I have had mornings waking up and feeling extremely worried and stressful about how can I embrace my 30's. No married, no reaching my goals, no time with my family, no outstanding career, my body is changing day by day, my friends have a stable life with their own family. I feel like everything is not fulfilled for me, I feel jealous and unlucky which sorrow me a lot. But day by day I realize that no one can help me but me to overcome these stuff things. I practice to think positively, I avoid to depend on and expect from others whom I can not control them. I spend time with myself, improving myself day by day by reading book, learning and doing yoga, avoiding negative things which have influence on my mood like surfing on social media, joining parties... Thanks Jenn for making me feel more brave to step in 30s. Instead of being anxious for what will happen next decade, I should enjoy every moment I have. Wish me and everyone like me have a memorable 30s'!
I’m almost 50 and your video makes me feel 30 again! Thanks Jen, for making my day brighter and meaningful 💕Was amazed to see the fabulous faces of your management team 💫
I'm actually a bit nervous about getting older, I'm turning 27 in a few days but hearing all of you speaking so lovingly about your 30s actually made me feel excited! Thank you for always creating such good and meaningful videos Jenn 💕
Not sure why this made me cry. Time to schedule a session with my counsellor, me thinks. But thank you for sharing all the joy you have encountered and established at this stage in your life, Jenn. I felt relief from all the pressures I have been putting on myself recently as I near 30. Also, I will never get over how cute your reaction is to food - Eyes wide and one big MMM! 😃
I love this video so much. Not only is the editing *chef’s kiss* but it feels so honest and transparent. I’ll be honest in that I used to fear going into my 30s but I’m now excited for what the future holds. There’s so much left to learn and experience and some of the best things you can only obtain after you take those next steps in life
This vlog was strangely and tremendously comforting to me. Lately I’ve been extremely anxious about my future (not being able to graduate, etc) and can definitely relate to the “diagnosis and fix” mindset. There’s something so pure and light about the smaller, quieter life moments you captured in this vlog (taking Lennon to the park, choosing to watch another episode instead of doing something work-related), something I’ve never really allowed myself to fully enjoy. It’s a great comfort being reminded that that stage of life is actually attainable.
This video was so refreshing. Thank you for sharing your journey and being so transparent. A lot of your thoughts I can relate to, being 27 now I feel the "diagnose and fix" glaze now and then. Knowing you've lifted resentment or any negative feelings towards your parents gives me a lot of hope for my personal family ties. Thanks :)
i love watching these. gives me something beautiful and wonderful to aspire to when being unstable and unsure in my 20's feels a bit too much to bear sometimes.
Everything from love island enthusiasm to retrospection, this vlog was so moving and lovely. I have grown up watching you for almost 10 years now and adore following along w u Jenn and now your whole family, you just radiate ❤️
Jenn you were the first RUclipsr I subscribed to years ago, and at 27 now, I feel like I have lived so much of my 20s with you by my side. This video was everything and it's such a joy to see how far you have come. Thank you for being my comfort RUclipsr for all these years
I turned 31 this year, and never in my life have I felt so comfortable in my own skin like I do now. Btw it made me so happy to see that you have a Hispanic nanny, they’re always so loving 🥰
I‘ve been wondering how she does it all and then I saw the lovely Nanny walking in and being all cute and wonderful with Lennon - what a great addition to the fam! I know I would totally do the same if I could afford it. No wait - I will do - as soon as I can afford it! Positive mind set! You go Jen - you worked so hard for this and deserve all the best in the world!!! Love your videos! And to all you single mommas in your 30s - hang in there you‘re doing great! Stay positive and take it one step at a time and remember: if you’re not a RUclipsr you don’t need to have a stylish & chic and spotless home. You & your kids well being are #1 priority. Don’t pour from an empty cup! Take care Xxxx
i always love the introspective thoughts you put into these videos. they make me reflect and think, and i see so much of myself in your younger self. im only in my 20s but im so excited to be more and more adult! love you Jenn! 💕
I can totally relate to you. I'm turning 31 this year and I feel like I don't want any more drama in my life. I just want to live my best life. I still have goals, but I am getting there. Thank you for this Jen! 💖
Your fortunate to have your life together this early in life ❤️. Definitely was not in this position in my 30’s. Was still trying to figure myself out. And still to this day in my mid 40’s still figuring it out. You are truly an inspiration for many ❤️🙏🏼. Bless you and your family ☺️
This will sound weird, but, earlier I was meditating looking to feel just like this video made me feel: reflective, appreciative, and a glimpse into what my future could offer if I keep going in this direction. Thank you!
I think this is possibly one of my favourite videos from you Jenn! Being in my 20s has made me so stressed out about absolutely everything but this has just shown me that the best is yet to come, and that time is not something I should be afraid of. Thank you for constantly growing and sharing your journey with us.
To the question you asked at the start "ever wake up and just go how am I in my 30's already?" I haven't asked that one yet since I'm still in my 20's, but I'm already asking it about my late 20s. I've been watching you since I was a teenager and seeing you enter a stage of life that I am SO excited to enter, has me so excited. I'm really glad we're reshaping the narrative of 'dreading 30s'. 30s and 40s are definitely the most powerful decades, your 20s are for memories and mistakes.
30s looks amazing on you! 💓 I’m almost 31, but it took me almost a year to accept the fact that I’m 30. It’s a blessing and I’m really enjoying it so far. 20s was fun, but always stressed me out. I finally feel settled, currently pregnant and looking forward to becoming a mommy. 😊
Although it will be a little while for me till I’m turning 30 (24 now) I still found this video Very helpful since I’ve been struggling so much lately, more then I’ve ever had, this video definitely gave a new perspective on life, especially when you talked about wanting to ‘change’ people and that you just let them be now. Thank you
As someone who is turning 30 next year, I had this strangely melancholic feeling about the fact that my 20s are over. But this video is so uplifting and has really excited me for starting that new chapter, so thank you for that. Beautifully done! 💖
“I can’t fix the others” this is gonna be my mantra from now ☺️ thank you for your positive and fresh energy. You are so beautiful in and out. Sending you lots of loves from Germany 💕🙏🏼
i feel the same way about botox! i'm almost 30 and have never gotten it done and as much as i've contemplated it, i can't get myself to start because like you said, it is definitely short term and i don't want to constantly be getting it done 🤣 society puts such an emphasis on looking as youthful as long as possible! it tends to put so much focus on aging gracefully, we forget to focus on aging gratefully! wrinkles and fine lines are inevitable - it's a part of the aging process! but it really is such a blessing to grow older and live another day! ❤ btw, your skin looks incredible! you came out glowing from that facial! ✨
I’m turning 28 and I’m dreading turning 30 😭 it doesn’t help when people keep reminding me how fast time flies and before I know it 40,50 comes 😭 idk it just gives me existential dread. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us 💜 your videos have always helped me so much in many ways that you don’t even know 🥹💜 bless the day you decided to become a content creator! So happy you have this as your job and we get to consume your art form ! I hope you always like it so it never stops 💜🙌🏼
1:02 I don't mean to be sarcastic or anything but the 30s doesn't mean that one would be financially and mentally stable. I genuinely enjoy watching your videos every week - you are hard-working, and your growth over the past few years has been truly inspiring. You're probably one of RUclipsrs I've been subscribed to for the longest time. But this video felt like an Instagram feed where I watch highlights of everyone else's life and end up feeling bitter instead of motivated. It feels unrealistic and I feel very, very behind. I guess I'm jealous, but it feels like anyone would have said the same thing if they had achieved everything you've achieved... hope I'll feel differently when I look at it again in a few years with more stability.
Heya I feel ya. This is just Jen’s 30 and not everyone’s the same and it’s ok. For me when I turned 30, I was surrounded by friends (the most I ever had), a great job but I was feeling extremely and I mean extremely lonely. Didn’t have financial stability or a partner or a baby, did not achieve most things on my goals/dreams by 30 and was deeply unsatisfied with the way my life turned out. Also still not yet there at 40 but I’m happier as my mind is clearer and emotions more cared for. The Important part is not give up on yourself and not let videos like this get to you. Remember you never know what Others (influencers etc) are are truly thinking or feeling, only what they carefully craft for public.
Yes i was reading the comments and most are from younger people who still have plenty of time. A lot of people still struggle in their 30s. Not everyone has had success in their life despite working hard and continuing to work hard. Also not everyone is lucky enough to have a loving partner or able to start a family yet. There are many struggling and her 30s is probably what we all wanted but most people won't be able to achieve. I'm still working hard waiting for the time when i can put up my feet and relax and enjoy daily life instead of grinding and stressing if i will be stable enough in the future if i stopped working for a moment. I'm close to my goals but when the time comes i know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I think it's important to try enjoy every moment in life and accept where you are and that change can happen if you work on it.
Everyone is different and that’s what’s beautiful!! This is Jenn’s and she’s sharing that with us! In no way is this video meant to be a poster board of what everyone’s 30s will be!! Hopefully things can look up for you soon!
Your words around loving others as they are/judging during your self-help phase, resonates with me so much. I'm happy to see someone out on the other side, thanks for sharing your experiences. You inspire me to be more open :)
This blogs makes me emotional, I can’t believe I’ve been following you for more than a decade now, I’m 32 right now and even tho I’m not in the exact same situation (single with no kids) I can still relate through your thought Jenn, you were one of the first content creator who make me want to become one as well, I started late but I did it ^^ I’m so grateful to be able to see your evolution it’s always so motivating and inspiring thank you so much for being you! Always so authentic and so genuine, We love you (love from France 🇫🇷)
i've been a follower since i was like 16, back in the OG clothes encounters-thrift shop haul-joy division shirt-jeffrey campbell's lita days and I love to think that we've all grown together and it's still a pleasure to be imaginary besties and to keep learning from you! still my fav content creator to this day
I agree 30s have been amazing so far. I know exactly what I want and I have been accepting life wisely and more openly. But I also think having a child changes your perspective and maturity, it has for me. Becoming a mother made me understand where my parents came from even more so
Oh my god, i'm 26 now and since the last year i'm exactly the same! I am always looking for flaws to fix, try to change myself as quick as possible and that makes me grumpy because i only focus on flaws on everyone, i hope i can be at the same spot that you're at right now and say "i'm living a better life that i dreamt of"! 🤞🏻
You’re amazing Jen. So classy, beautiful and you just seem to be a great friend. Well, and that’s also what your friends say about you! Been a follower for a while and what a shifts it’s been. Your essence always the same, but so many ups and down and now you’ve flourished. I love you Jen!!! 💛💕 lucky baby to have such an amazing mom. Hope the best for the 3 of you 😊
What about those who have turned 30/are living their 30s who don't feel like they've achieved the things they dreamed of? Sometimes I feel like 30s are hyped to be 'the' years but that, in itself, puts so much pressure on feeling like you've got to have your life sorted by this time! Would love to hear your thoughts on this ❤️
Your journey is uniquely your own. Forget the societal stereotypes. They'll only set you up for expectation and disappointment when it doesn't go the way some influencer set it up so carefully to look like. Just enjoy yourself and love yourself every step of the way. You'll get to where you need to go.
So far, my 40s are the best years; and it’s only gonna get better; my 30s might have looked nice from the outside but… 🙂 Do you, take your time; don’t rush to get “all the things”; that’s the best way to lose them all by the end of your 30s 🙃
I feel like as time goes by my focus has shifted from those external accomplishments to genuinely valuing my self as a person. Therefore no matter what I'm doing or not doing, I can appreciate those moments more, instead of wondering why I'm not achieving those external things. But of course I have my off days, and I'm sure Jenn and everyone else has those sometimes too. Wishing you the best!
I've been watching your videos since I was in middle school; a decade later in my mid 20s I am still watching your videos. Back then, since asian americans were non existent in media, i loved watching your vids as a korean who lives in america. It almost feels as if we grew up adjacently, i have changed so much and got to watch another strong korean american woman grow up and learn a lot, too. your videos make me so happy and refreshed, and i love how personal and open you've been. and if you're still on youtube for another 10 years after this, i will continue to get excited for your new videos and see how you change. thank you for existing
The warmth and purity this video radiates is just on another level. Love you so much Jenn for your effort into making the normal feel so special. From start to end, I was smiling.
I cried from the very beginning to the end of this video. Its beautiful. Its inspiring. Its raw and real. Thanks for the great content as always Jenn💓💓
JENN!!! This is one of my fav videos of yours ever.. I’m starting my 20s right now and feeling like I know nothing about the world or really myself but learning everyday. this video gives me a lot of peace and hope and makes me wanna treasure the growth process💌so happy for uuu
Please do not erase this video!!!!!!!! i wanna watch when i face into my slumps. it really enables me to dream that my life will be in the right track in 30s, and makes me get up & run for my goals 🧡
Been loving Jenn’s content since high school and always feel so inspired by her growth. 🤍 There’s so much genuine loving and peaceful energy in this video. Making me look forward to aging and growing ✨
Thank you so much for presenting such a hopeful image of adulting! As someone who is entering adulthood- I fear the change and this new season that I’m venturing into. The vastness of it all really paralyses me and makes me anxious. But seeing how you’ve come out of it on the other side, and even enjoying yourself gives me hope that I’ll be okay and that it might be difficult, but there will be joys and fruits to bear as well in this new season ☺️❤️
It’s insane how your videos just get better and better. I really relate to everything you said about self improvement and while it’s good it can be a very critical place to be in. The growth and warmth you have worked for over the years really shines in this video. There is a moment at the moment at the start when you are at the sink with Lennon and you just look so beautiful. I’m so happy for you.
manifesting the 30s happines ♥️♥️ i am currently living in my 25s and had been struggling with quarter life crisis lately, but by watching your video today made me be more excited again in life ♥️♥️ thank u so much jenn! sending love all the way from Indonesia🥰
This was so comforting to watch. As a 20-something year old this really makes me excited for my 30s but also makes me feel much more okay with how chaotic and unsure my life is right now. I know it'll all work out! Wishing you and your lovely family the best and thank you for this xxxx
I enjoyed watching this vlog so much!!! It was so heartwarming overall, and I appreciate you giving us another insightful look into your life and your life reflections. It also made me happy to see you implementing sign language because as a graduate student for speech-language therapy, it never hurts to try sign language bc it is a stepping stone towards language production! Love you and your family, Jenn!
Love how this was shot as well as the content/theme. It's so nice growing up alongside you and getting to see someone be so vulnerable going through the same life stages as me.
I can't even begin to explain how much I love you Jenn. You bring me so much comfort and reassurance that I could live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much, I am so grateful ❤
I just turned 30 two months ago and I am still contemplating where my 20s went by... I am so amazed how you embraced adulting gracefully Jenn... I am still at the starting point, but I won't give up.
This vlog brought me some tears our :’) I just had my baby 4 months ago… seeing how fast you baby has grown makes me happy and sad at the same time,I don’t want time flying so fast. Also I noticed your hair is so long! I turned 30 this year an I just want to do something, I have so many ideas and plans but I just don’t do any of them… needed this vid 🤍 thank you Jen
Just turned 30 last month. I was really not feeling it but this video makes me feel a lot better . All my friends tells me 30 is the best year . Thanks Jenn
Still clueless and finding my way at 24 😂 Kinda afraid to move towards the end of this youthful decade but I'm happy to see that you're enjoying your 30s!
I wish there is a button for me to like this video 1000 times. Jen, thank you! The positivity and clarity thoroughly come through your narratives. I’m in my late 30s (gonna hit 40 next year), and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said here in the video. It’s just a whole new world when you expand the acceptance towards others and ourselves, while having better means to love and support. I remember being your early sub when you were clothes encounter. Gotta admit I unsubscribed for a while, thinking I couldn’t relate to the content. I subscribed again a few years ago and holy moly, I love the new Jen ever since! Thanks for being the inspiration and the honest self to the world :)
I'm only in my early 20s and currently going through a large healing journey but this video game such a calming feeling and really made me think in the best way - I adore your content and how transparent you are with your life, it's honestly helped me and inspired me so much.
I just turned 28 and it's been a year of reflection: relationships, religion, beliefs, and ethics. One thing I've learned from your video is to let things go yet also live with intention. I've made new friends throughout the pandemic while also losing some secondary school friends, intentionally. It's been a wild change and you're helping me see what the future could hold. Thank you Jenn, Ben, Norma, and Lennon!!
Jenn, thanks for this video. I'm gonna be turning 30 on Sunday. It feels a little scary to think that a decade will end, however this video inspired me to live even with more intention & focus, and make me realise I'm more than confident than ever. I feel that I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment of my life
Probably the only influencer to admit you have a nanny. So appreciate this transparency because other mom influencers make it seem like they are just better than anyone else having a perfect life without help.
That first sentence hit hard but in the sense that “how am I already in the last year of my early 20s”🥲 it’s been a weird experience bringing out my 20s in a pandemic, but i’m optimistic that the rest of my 20s & 30’s are something to look forward to! sending love & light, always, Jenn!
Omg Jenn, what a wonderful video, I got teary eyes! You're a great storyteller and I'm so happy for you living your best life. Love your wisdom and your perspectives as well as how honest and vulnerable you are. I'm currently in my mid 20s and it's soothing to see this video. I still feel like I'm worrying about so many things that won't even matter. I've grown quite a bit myself and got over so many things that a few years back couldn't even imagine. Thank you and I wish you and your family all the best!
Love the video and it's awesome that you're exposing Lennon to so many languages and learning to use them with him! Would it be possible to eventually add subtitles to whole videos (either Open Captions as they are currently, or as Closed Captions)? The portions with captions make me feel extra immersed and getting to know what you're saying not only in other languages, but also the English parts when my house gets noisy from my own adulting life with a fur baby and significant other running around the house 😅. I think that they'd be awesome to have for people who are deaf or English second language learners to better access the video too!
@@imjennim I'm watching a day late, but I am able to turn on CC for your video. I think it might just be when the video is freshly released Google hasn't had a chance to generate the captions. Not sure if it's something you have to enable on your side, but they are definitely appreciated. Signed, a hard-of-hearing fan
@@imjennim Noticed yesterday the added captions on your newest video and was pleasantly surprised you had them added retroactively to this one too! Really appreciate not only how fast you responded to this, but also the little things like your excited "Yes!" and clapping about the Casa Amor episode, and Lennon's little babbling being recognized in the captions was so sweet to see on my second watch through the video 🥰.
Jenn thank you for being you and sharing your wisdom. I’m 26 and evaluating everything in my life now, changing career, improving my marriage… Watching you on this journey has been such an inspiration and help for me. Much love ❤️
I’ve been a subscriber of yours since I was 20 years old, im now 28 and this video literally made me so teary eyed. You can just see and feel how genuine, grateful, and real you are. There’s so many times where I watch your videos where you say something, and I think to myself, wow, that’s a really great way of looking at it. I love growing up with you 🥹
Been following you since I was a teen and now I am almost in my 30's as well! Its been a blast watching your channel evolve and I've been loving these messages
I really dislike videos that speak on behalf of other people. It’s great she followed the norm and is in a happy and stable place. But it’s not happening for everyone in their 30s. And thus, I for one was left feeling sad and wrong after watching this. I’m sure other women who might be single in their thirties, maybe unable to conceive, without a stable income and so forth would feel the same. You highly recommend that decade? You mean your experience of that decade.
Don't feel sad, she got a divorce. Nothing is what it seems when it's just people you meet online. She put on a facade and can't figure herself out like she wanted
@@LuxuryMommywait how do you know it was all a facade ? She was with him for almost a decade... been following her since she was 17...its only natural for her priorities to change from being a teenager to an adult ! No hate just feel that comment made it seem like she failed and is fake bc she got a divorce lol
Jenn, I grew up watching your videos and was always so inspired by your outfits and the way you navigated through life. As the years have gone by, I have seen you go through lots of hardships and also a ton of good times. Even though I'm a Viet girl from Texas, I resonated with you from day one and your experiences. You helped me grow and I know this is a strange parasocial relationship that I have placed upon you but you were like the big sister I admired and always wished I could have. It warms my heart to see you're finally in a place of harmony and happiness. I wish you the best always. ❤
I hope people watching this video realize that having a baby does not “a genuine family” make. Not every married couple aspires to have children, and that does not exclude them from being a real family. This video, plus a prior one in which Jen says that outings before having a baby feel less meaningful than with a baby, are kind of a let down. Still a huge fan but disappointing nonetheless.
Thank you so much for creating beautiful, uplifting videos like this! Freshly getting into my mid-20s, I feel like I've been suddenly thrown into a lot of changes and those changes (even the prospects of change) are making me feel restless. It feels so positive and uplifting to see so many wonderful people creating a beautiful life in their 30s. Being more confident and driven than ever. Your content truly makes me feel uplifted.
Don't get botox!!! It is so toxic to the body, it's literally a neurotoxin. And it actually reduces empathy because it freezes your face muscles that naturally expand to express empathy. It interferes with a baby's ability to read their mother's emotions which creates a disconnect between the baby and mother that can effect them later on in life. You literally don't look a day over 25, your skin is incredible. But also you shoudn't be so afraid of looking your age, cause it's just buying into the unrealistic standard that social media has put upon us. Aging with grace is a beautiful thing.
JENNNNN... srsly. there's a reason why I'm still such an avid follower of you to this day. every stage you go through makes me so excited for my own future since I'm a few years behind you. you are truly the older sister i've always wished i had. thank you for being so honest and open about your feelings with us! sending you all my love, holly.
Same 🤍
❤️❤️
I agree 🥹
Wgaf?
I love how open and transparent you are. I think we all use to dream about the day where we have freedom and a closet full of clothes. But as you mentioned growth really shifts your desires. I’m so happy you’re so happy 💜
Absolutely! Your wants change as you evolve. x
I love that, “just let people be.” Definitely a lesson I’ve been learning as I turned 30 too 🤍 our peace should hold priority over trying to fix everyone around us. So wise Jenn hehe
Totally! xx
Definitely check out @lavendaire on youtube, she has an amazing life lesson.
Just turned 30 a couple days ago, and learning a thing or 2 about boundaries. I was abit scared thinking that i felt obligated to spend more time hanging out with certain people- but It’s okay to say no.. here’s to growing and learning
I am. so proud I am only 20 and I have come to that conclusion too
Omg!! I literally had this thought this week. Like to myself said, "it's time to stop trying to figure out other people"
My daughters had asked me the other day if i can choose to go back in time, what age do i wanna visit again. Initially I said 18.. then I thought no, I hated school, broke, and remembered how I can't wait to grow up. Then I gave it a hard thought and I know that I love where I am now, in my 30s. Stable everything, financially but most importantly, mental stability ❤️
Stable finacially is so important to have other things stable...
it's hard to tell who's the baby, when mom and baby are together ((: baby: pls stop stealing my food, get your own
I’m Mexican American and I’m turning 30 in November! I have two little brothers: 12 & 16. If you want to teach your kid Spanish, put all his movies in Spanish! That’s what we did with our brothers. Of course, also speaking Spanish to him. Absolutely no English for them. Kids learn English as soon as they make it to pre-k! Proud of you for wanting to teach him two to three languages!
Im turning 30 in October and I started to feel very nostalgic, sad even for the end of my 20s. The thought of real growing up and aging hit me hard...I am not married, I dont own a house, childfree. But Im very grateful for these kinds of videos to show me the exciting part of next decade of my life. Im more confident than ever, finally feel somehow free. And I hope that will continue in my 30s.
It will in Jesus Name
I didn’t marry until 34 (better to wait for the right one), I don’t have kids and I prefer to rent than to buy. Those things aren’t what define us: the facts are simple: comparing yourself to other people is the easiest way to make yourself feel awful, even though other people may have had help that we didn’t- we don’t see that aspect. Have faith in yourself- the journey is just beginning
I feel so fortunate growing up with you. I'm currently 32 years old and 33 weeks pregnant. Thank you for growing with grace and being so vulnerable with us. Im so excited to see what comes next for both of us
Ahhh! What an exciting time for you, Lani!
Cute!! I'm 33 years old and 34 weeks pregnant lol! Definitely an exciting time!
I love how happy you look in this life you built :) for everyone that is NOT at this stage in their life: don't fret! You can get there eventually, and your timeline is not the same as hers or anyone's! I'm 28 and just now going back to school for a career change out of something I thought I'd being doing for the rest of my life. I won't be completely in my career until I'm 32! And that's fine, everyone's life is different. Just a reminder
I too am 28 about to be 29 going back to school too and I agree with you.
Freaking loved this video!! The vibes were so beautiful as always and the intro was so unique. I’m 26 and soaking up the last few years of my chaotic 20s but Jenn makes me genuinely so excited for the next chapter when the time is right
Yeee! Ty Olivia! x
WOW this might be one of my fave videos from you jenn 😭❤ i just had a complete breakdown before watching and few minutes into the video, your light and energy already came throughhh! you're so infectious. thank you so much for making 30s and life in general feel more bearable - i look forward to living my best life !!! hate to admit it but im exactly in the phase of my late 20s with all the deep pressure, anxiety, depression, and total confusion. but seeing you surpass this phase and living with pure acceptance, peace, and gratitude makes me feel less worried and excited about hopping into that healthier mindset 🙏 love you always jenn! this video was exactly what i needed right now. a hug in video form 🥺🤗
Thank you for sharing this with me. I wish I could give you a hug. T__T x
@@imjennim omg hi jenn!!! 😍❤ means the world to me that you read my comment aaah already felt like the warmest hug 🤗 i appreciate you so much!
idk why im shedding a tear while watching this. i will be 27 this year and it scares the shit out of me. i feel like in asian culture, you have to achieve everything in your 20s. but here i am approaching my late 20s achieving nothing. no partner, no money, no summer body. loool. but watching this vid really warms me up a lil bit. dunno why. thank you jenn!!!
Oh definitely, in asian culture there is just no talk about taking things slowly and approaching things just in your own speed. Everything is a battle against yourself and made dependent on your achievements but reality is that life is so much more un-calculated and messy :) I'm proud of you nonetheless internet-stranger, not everything that you achieved has to be made dependent on something that is visible. It can just be that feeling of being okay with yourself 👍
27 and with new baby new place I try to make my boundaries with family!!
DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING!
HAHA. As an Asian (Filipino) woman fully assimilated American (1st generation) I know exactly what u mean but I lived my life my own way!
I did my best in HS, I wasn't a super scholar. In college I dropped out of nursing school. A bunch of other decisions. Not rushing to get married or have a career to define me. Now I'm 36 just having my 1st baby (which I've always wanted but at MY OWN TIME). 🥰
U go in your own pace bc if not the only regrets u'll have are the decisions u didn't make for URSELF 💜
Same girl! But I love the wisdom and growth I am experiencing. I can feel that it is prepping me for my 30s. Sending you love & positive vibes.
Hi Jenn 💮- Love seeing how you are embracing your 30's, the challenges, the blessings, the joy and everything else that comes with it! So proud of you! You are an inspiration!💖👑
Adulting has brought so many realisations and revelations and I feel like we will be 'adulting' forever as each decade is filled with new experiences and lessons. Our relationship with ourselves, others and life just keeps on evolving. Our 30's I feel are the first decade in our lives where we really come into ourselves, even though we are still 'figuring it out' we have also 'figured some things out'. The journey is different for everyone of course but I think most would agree that some stage in our 30's we become more self-aware and honest with ourselves about who we are and what life we want to live, we have more acceptance about what is within our control and what isn't, we have more acceptance towards ourselves as well as others. Our 30's can be stable and turbulent. I hope that as people go into their 30's they can embrace the ride that comes with it and not put too much pressure on themselves with expectations they may have had in their 20's about where they should be in life. Have dreams and goals, work towards them diligently and healthily but check-in with 'why' you are doing things and evaluate if it is really aligned with you and how you want to live. We all change over time.
Stay safe and well 💛
Beautifully said, Haseena! Thank you! xx
Well said 👏
Wow! love that!!
I couldn’t agree with you more Jenn! And I hate how the society teaches women to be terrified of growing older. 30 is not old, to those girls who are worried about 30, it literally feels the same but better. I’m now 34, I feel much more emotionally and mentally steady and happy, because I am much more confident in who I am and what I’m capable of, giving less fucks about others opinions.
20s was fun but it was a VERY confusing time trying to figure out who I am, what I want to do and how to do. But you learn and grow, that’s what life is about!
One last comment I wanna add, to anyone who feels like you are falling behind compare to your peers. Remember this, NO ONE has a blueprint for his/her life. You can have a plan but life is NEVER going to behave how you want it to. Don’t get stuck on the idea of you need to have your entire life figured out, no one can do that. Enjoy your present, learn from your past, and keep an open mind for your future.
It is a marathon, not a sprint, enjoy your journey! 😊
Wow as a 28 year old who went through many hardships, I fear 30. I feel like only now my life has finally begun and I finally have peace. But I feel like I’m not ‘young’ anymore.
Your comment is very sweet. I have saved it.
@@Esandeech2 I went through a very rough patch in my late 20s, and eventually found peace within myself. You aren’t alone! It’s easier to say than done, and we all have different experiences. As someone who went through my own dark days, I can assure you, you will get through it! Try to focus on taking care of yourself, you are your biggest treasure, remember that!
The society teaches us women 30 is old. I can tell you that is 1000% not true. 30 is not old, you may not be 20 any more but 30 is not old.
Love the interaction with your nanny. My mom is caregiver so when she’s at work i always pray that her employer would treat her right and as a part of family. And not some nanny small person because sometimes this job can be demeaning. I was grateful for the way you hug and called her by name.
I'm in my late 20s' and exact 29 years old this year. Since starting 2022, I have had mornings waking up and feeling extremely worried and stressful about how can I embrace my 30's. No married, no reaching my goals, no time with my family, no outstanding career, my body is changing day by day, my friends have a stable life with their own family. I feel like everything is not fulfilled for me, I feel jealous and unlucky which sorrow me a lot. But day by day I realize that no one can help me but me to overcome these stuff things. I practice to think positively, I avoid to depend on and expect from others whom I can not control them. I spend time with myself, improving myself day by day by reading book, learning and doing yoga, avoiding negative things which have influence on my mood like surfing on social media, joining parties...
Thanks Jenn for making me feel more brave to step in 30s. Instead of being anxious for what will happen next decade, I should enjoy every moment I have. Wish me and everyone like me have a memorable 30s'!
I’m almost 50 and your video makes me feel 30 again! Thanks Jen, for making my day brighter and meaningful 💕Was amazed to see the fabulous faces of your management team 💫
Im 44. My 30s have nothing on my 40’s! Kids are 1/2 way grown or better, im chillin! Doing my own thang! 😂
I'm actually a bit nervous about getting older, I'm turning 27 in a few days but hearing all of you speaking so lovingly about your 30s actually made me feel excited! Thank you for always creating such good and meaningful videos Jenn 💕
Idk how to say this but watching you with your son heals parts of my extreme fear and anxiety of becoming a mother. Thank you❤️
Not sure why this made me cry. Time to schedule a session with my counsellor, me thinks. But thank you for sharing all the joy you have encountered and established at this stage in your life, Jenn. I felt relief from all the pressures I have been putting on myself recently as I near 30.
Also, I will never get over how cute your reaction is to food - Eyes wide and one big MMM! 😃
I love this video so much. Not only is the editing *chef’s kiss* but it feels so honest and transparent. I’ll be honest in that I used to fear going into my 30s but I’m now excited for what the future holds. There’s so much left to learn and experience and some of the best things you can only obtain after you take those next steps in life
This vlog was strangely and tremendously comforting to me. Lately I’ve been extremely anxious about my future (not being able to graduate, etc) and can definitely relate to the “diagnosis and fix” mindset. There’s something so pure and light about the smaller, quieter life moments you captured in this vlog (taking Lennon to the park, choosing to watch another episode instead of doing something work-related), something I’ve never really allowed myself to fully enjoy. It’s a great comfort being reminded that that stage of life is actually attainable.
This hits so differently, Jen. I've been following you since middle school and am now in my late 20's. Thank you for always being here.
This video was so refreshing. Thank you for sharing your journey and being so transparent. A lot of your thoughts I can relate to, being 27 now I feel the "diagnose and fix" glaze now and then. Knowing you've lifted resentment or any negative feelings towards your parents gives me a lot of hope for my personal family ties. Thanks :)
i love watching these. gives me something beautiful and wonderful to aspire to when being unstable and unsure in my 20's feels a bit too much to bear sometimes.
Jenn you literally look so young and so does your mom. I think Botox might end up negatively affecting your beauty perception.
Everything from love island enthusiasm to retrospection, this vlog was so moving and lovely. I have grown up watching you for almost 10 years now and adore following along w u Jenn and now your whole family, you just radiate ❤️
Jenn you were the first RUclipsr I subscribed to years ago, and at 27 now, I feel like I have lived so much of my 20s with you by my side. This video was everything and it's such a joy to see how far you have come. Thank you for being my comfort RUclipsr for all these years
I turned 31 this year, and never in my life have I felt so comfortable in my own skin like I do now. Btw it made me so happy to see that you have a Hispanic nanny, they’re always so loving 🥰
I‘ve been wondering how she does it all and then I saw the lovely Nanny walking in and being all cute and wonderful with Lennon - what a great addition to the fam! I know I would totally do the same if I could afford it. No wait - I will do - as soon as I can afford it! Positive mind set! You go Jen - you worked so hard for this and deserve all the best in the world!!! Love your videos! And to all you single mommas in your 30s - hang in there you‘re doing great! Stay positive and take it one step at a time and remember: if you’re not a RUclipsr you don’t need to have a stylish & chic and spotless home. You & your kids well being are #1 priority. Don’t pour from an empty cup! Take care Xxxx
that clip where Jenn is Dancing and Ben is clapping is so wholesome. That's what love looks like y'all. 😍
When you started to take headshots with Ben, I immediately teared up. I am so happy for you. I'm only 24 but you give me so much to look forward too.
i always love the introspective thoughts you put into these videos. they make me reflect and think, and i see so much of myself in your younger self. im only in my 20s but im so excited to be more and more adult! love you Jenn! 💕
Aww thank you, Vivian!
I can totally relate to you. I'm turning 31 this year and I feel like I don't want any more drama in my life. I just want to live my best life. I still have goals, but I am getting there. Thank you for this Jen! 💖
Sad to see yall not together anymore ….. wish you both the best ….
Your fortunate to have your life together this early in life ❤️. Definitely was not in this position in my 30’s. Was still trying to figure myself out. And still to this day in my mid 40’s still figuring it out. You are truly an inspiration for many ❤️🙏🏼. Bless you and your family ☺️
This will sound weird, but, earlier I was meditating looking to feel just like this video made me feel: reflective, appreciative, and a glimpse into what my future could offer if I keep going in this direction. Thank you!
I think this is possibly one of my favourite videos from you Jenn! Being in my 20s has made me so stressed out about absolutely everything but this has just shown me that the best is yet to come, and that time is not something I should be afraid of. Thank you for constantly growing and sharing your journey with us.
To the question you asked at the start "ever wake up and just go how am I in my 30's already?" I haven't asked that one yet since I'm still in my 20's, but I'm already asking it about my late 20s. I've been watching you since I was a teenager and seeing you enter a stage of life that I am SO excited to enter, has me so excited. I'm really glad we're reshaping the narrative of 'dreading 30s'. 30s and 40s are definitely the most powerful decades, your 20s are for memories and mistakes.
30s looks amazing on you! 💓
I’m almost 31, but it took me almost a year to accept the fact that I’m 30. It’s a blessing and I’m really enjoying it so far. 20s was fun, but always stressed me out. I finally feel settled, currently pregnant and looking forward to becoming a mommy. 😊
Although it will be a little while for me till I’m turning 30 (24 now) I still found this video
Very helpful since I’ve been struggling so much lately, more then I’ve ever had, this video definitely gave a new perspective on life, especially when you talked about wanting to ‘change’ people and that you just let them be now. Thank you
I'm 28, and honestly, this video made me excited to be in my 30's soon. Thank you so much from another Jenn
As someone who is turning 30 next year, I had this strangely melancholic feeling about the fact that my 20s are over. But this video is so uplifting and has really excited me for starting that new chapter, so thank you for that. Beautifully done! 💖
why am I tearing up! You put so much work and love into your videos, Jen. Thank you ! Love from Prague.
“I can’t fix the others” this is gonna be my mantra from now ☺️ thank you for your positive and fresh energy. You are so beautiful in and out. Sending you lots of loves from Germany 💕🙏🏼
i feel the same way about botox! i'm almost 30 and have never gotten it done and as much as i've contemplated it, i can't get myself to start because like you said, it is definitely short term and i don't want to constantly be getting it done 🤣 society puts such an emphasis on looking as youthful as long as possible! it tends to put so much focus on aging gracefully, we forget to focus on aging gratefully! wrinkles and fine lines are inevitable - it's a part of the aging process! but it really is such a blessing to grow older and live another day! ❤ btw, your skin looks incredible! you came out glowing from that facial! ✨
Omg I love this... f aging gracefully, let's age gratefully!! Very empowering! Graceful is subjective, grateful is in the soul
I’m turning 28 and I’m dreading turning 30 😭 it doesn’t help when people keep reminding me how fast time flies and before I know it 40,50 comes 😭 idk it just gives me existential dread. Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us 💜 your videos have always helped me so much in many ways that you don’t even know 🥹💜 bless the day you decided to become a content creator! So happy you have this as your job and we get to consume your art form ! I hope you always like it so it never stops 💜🙌🏼
1:02 I don't mean to be sarcastic or anything but the 30s doesn't mean that one would be financially and mentally stable. I genuinely enjoy watching your videos every week - you are hard-working, and your growth over the past few years has been truly inspiring. You're probably one of RUclipsrs I've been subscribed to for the longest time. But this video felt like an Instagram feed where I watch highlights of everyone else's life and end up feeling bitter instead of motivated. It feels unrealistic and I feel very, very behind. I guess I'm jealous, but it feels like anyone would have said the same thing if they had achieved everything you've achieved... hope I'll feel differently when I look at it again in a few years with more stability.
Heya I feel ya. This is just Jen’s 30 and not everyone’s the same and it’s ok. For me when I turned 30, I was surrounded by friends (the most I ever had), a great job but I was feeling extremely and I mean extremely lonely. Didn’t have financial stability or a partner or a baby, did not achieve most things on my goals/dreams by 30 and was deeply unsatisfied with the way my life turned out. Also still not yet there at 40 but I’m happier as my mind is clearer and emotions more cared for. The Important part is not give up on yourself and not let videos like this get to you. Remember you never know what Others (influencers etc) are are truly thinking or feeling, only what they carefully craft for public.
Yes i was reading the comments and most are from younger people who still have plenty of time. A lot of people still struggle in their 30s. Not everyone has had success in their life despite working hard and continuing to work hard. Also not everyone is lucky enough to have a loving partner or able to start a family yet. There are many struggling and her 30s is probably what we all wanted but most people won't be able to achieve. I'm still working hard waiting for the time when i can put up my feet and relax and enjoy daily life instead of grinding and stressing if i will be stable enough in the future if i stopped working for a moment. I'm close to my goals but when the time comes i know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I think it's important to try enjoy every moment in life and accept where you are and that change can happen if you work on it.
Everyone is different and that’s what’s beautiful!! This is Jenn’s and she’s sharing that with us! In no way is this video meant to be a poster board of what everyone’s 30s will be!! Hopefully things can look up for you soon!
Yeah this video just made me think ‘ok, must be nice for her…’
I feel the same. You are not alone. She's just speaking from a tone deaf and privileged pov unfortunately.
Your words around loving others as they are/judging during your self-help phase, resonates with me so much. I'm happy to see someone out on the other side, thanks for sharing your experiences. You inspire me to be more open :)
This blogs makes me emotional, I can’t believe I’ve been following you for more than a decade now, I’m 32 right now and even tho I’m not in the exact same situation (single with no kids) I can still relate through your thought Jenn, you were one of the first content creator who make me want to become one as well, I started late but I did it ^^ I’m so grateful to be able to see your evolution it’s always so motivating and inspiring thank you so much for being you! Always so authentic and so genuine, We love you (love from France 🇫🇷)
i've been a follower since i was like 16, back in the OG clothes encounters-thrift shop haul-joy division shirt-jeffrey campbell's lita days and I love to think that we've all grown together and it's still a pleasure to be imaginary besties and to keep learning from you! still my fav content creator to this day
I agree 30s have been amazing so far. I know exactly what I want and I have been accepting life wisely and more openly. But I also think having a child changes your perspective and maturity, it has for me. Becoming a mother made me understand where my parents came from even more so
Oh my god, i'm 26 now and since the last year i'm exactly the same! I am always looking for flaws to fix, try to change myself as quick as possible and that makes me grumpy because i only focus on flaws on everyone, i hope i can be at the same spot that you're at right now and say "i'm living a better life that i dreamt of"! 🤞🏻
You’re amazing Jen. So classy, beautiful and you just seem to be a great friend. Well, and that’s also what your friends say about you!
Been a follower for a while and what a shifts it’s been. Your essence always the same, but so many ups and down and now you’ve flourished. I love you Jen!!! 💛💕 lucky baby to have such an amazing mom. Hope the best for the 3 of you 😊
Aww this comment is so sweet, Ana. Thank you!
I’m turning 30 next mth, I’m super blessed. I’m excited to turn the big 3-0 😂😂🥰🎉 love your vids!
What about those who have turned 30/are living their 30s who don't feel like they've achieved the things they dreamed of? Sometimes I feel like 30s are hyped to be 'the' years but that, in itself, puts so much pressure on feeling like you've got to have your life sorted by this time! Would love to hear your thoughts on this ❤️
Your journey is uniquely your own. Forget the societal stereotypes. They'll only set you up for expectation and disappointment when it doesn't go the way some influencer set it up so carefully to look like. Just enjoy yourself and love yourself every step of the way. You'll get to where you need to go.
So far, my 40s are the best years; and it’s only gonna get better; my 30s might have looked nice from the outside but… 🙂 Do you, take your time; don’t rush to get “all the things”; that’s the best way to lose them all by the end of your 30s 🙃
I feel like as time goes by my focus has shifted from those external accomplishments to genuinely valuing my self as a person. Therefore no matter what I'm doing or not doing, I can appreciate those moments more, instead of wondering why I'm not achieving those external things. But of course I have my off days, and I'm sure Jenn and everyone else has those sometimes too. Wishing you the best!
I've been watching your videos since I was in middle school; a decade later in my mid 20s I am still watching your videos. Back then, since asian americans were non existent in media, i loved watching your vids as a korean who lives in america. It almost feels as if we grew up adjacently, i have changed so much and got to watch another strong korean american woman grow up and learn a lot, too. your videos make me so happy and refreshed, and i love how personal and open you've been. and if you're still on youtube for another 10 years after this, i will continue to get excited for your new videos and see how you change. thank you for existing
The warmth and purity this video radiates is just on another level. Love you so much Jenn for your effort into making the normal feel so special. From start to end, I was smiling.
Happy for you. Wish everyone could have this stability in their 30s.
I hope so
I cried from the very beginning to the end of this video. Its beautiful. Its inspiring. Its raw and real. Thanks for the great content as always Jenn💓💓
JENN!!! This is one of my fav videos of yours ever.. I’m starting my 20s right now and feeling like I know nothing about the world or really myself but learning everyday. this video gives me a lot of peace and hope and makes me wanna treasure the growth process💌so happy for uuu
Please do not erase this video!!!!!!!! i wanna watch when i face into my slumps. it really enables me to dream that my life will be in the right track in 30s, and makes me get up & run for my goals 🧡
I feel like this era of Jenn we get to see her humorous side and I am here for it
Been loving Jenn’s content since high school and always feel so inspired by her growth. 🤍 There’s so much genuine loving and peaceful energy in this video. Making me look forward to aging and growing ✨
Thank you so much for presenting such a hopeful image of adulting! As someone who is entering adulthood- I fear the change and this new season that I’m venturing into. The vastness of it all really paralyses me and makes me anxious. But seeing how you’ve come out of it on the other side, and even enjoying yourself gives me hope that I’ll be okay and that it might be difficult, but there will be joys and fruits to bear as well in this new season ☺️❤️
It’s insane how your videos just get better and better.
I really relate to everything you said about self improvement and while it’s good it can be a very critical place to be in. The growth and warmth you have worked for over the years really shines in this video. There is a moment at the moment at the start when you are at the sink with Lennon and you just look so beautiful. I’m so happy for you.
When you said your life is everything more than you could have imagined I bawled. So happy for you Jenn!
This video has just popped up on my page. Its interesting seeing it today
Just started this video and already loving it!!! Looks like a movie wowieee 😍 you truly make growing up and older not as daunting as it is 💙
Thanks Valerie! x
manifesting the 30s happines ♥️♥️ i am currently living in my 25s and had been struggling with quarter life crisis lately, but by watching your video today made me be more excited again in life ♥️♥️ thank u so much jenn! sending love all the way from Indonesia🥰
this was such a treat 🤍
This was so comforting to watch. As a 20-something year old this really makes me excited for my 30s but also makes me feel much more okay with how chaotic and unsure my life is right now. I know it'll all work out! Wishing you and your lovely family the best and thank you for this xxxx
I enjoyed watching this vlog so much!!! It was so heartwarming overall, and I appreciate you giving us another insightful look into your life and your life reflections. It also made me happy to see you implementing sign language because as a graduate student for speech-language therapy, it never hurts to try sign language bc it is a stepping stone towards language production! Love you and your family, Jenn!
Love how this was shot as well as the content/theme. It's so nice growing up alongside you and getting to see someone be so vulnerable going through the same life stages as me.
I love your vlogs so much :( you're so calming, inspiring and have such a genuine and positive outlook on life. I'm glad I got to grow up watching you
I can't even begin to explain how much I love you Jenn. You bring me so much comfort and reassurance that I could live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much, I am so grateful ❤
Privileged and stable 30’s, not the case for most people sadly
I just turned 30 two months ago and I am still contemplating where my 20s went by... I am so amazed how you embraced adulting gracefully Jenn... I am still at the starting point, but I won't give up.
This vlog brought me some tears our :’) I just had my baby 4 months ago… seeing how fast you baby has grown makes me happy and sad at the same time,I don’t want time flying so fast. Also I noticed your hair is so long! I turned 30 this year an I just want to do something, I have so many ideas and plans but I just don’t do any of them… needed this vid 🤍 thank you Jen
Just turned 30 last month. I was really not feeling it but this video makes me feel a lot better . All my friends tells me 30 is the best year . Thanks Jenn
Still clueless and finding my way at 24 😂 Kinda afraid to move towards the end of this youthful decade but I'm happy to see that you're enjoying your 30s!
I wish there is a button for me to like this video 1000 times. Jen, thank you! The positivity and clarity thoroughly come through your narratives. I’m in my late 30s (gonna hit 40 next year), and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said here in the video. It’s just a whole new world when you expand the acceptance towards others and ourselves, while having better means to love and support. I remember being your early sub when you were clothes encounter. Gotta admit I unsubscribed for a while, thinking I couldn’t relate to the content. I subscribed again a few years ago and holy moly, I love the new Jen ever since! Thanks for being the inspiration and the honest self to the world :)
Jenn!! Que bien estás hablando 💃🏽🫶🏽 felicidades!!! Jajaja *even throwing in Spanish laughing* LOL 😂
I'm only in my early 20s and currently going through a large healing journey but this video game such a calming feeling and really made me think in the best way - I adore your content and how transparent you are with your life, it's honestly helped me and inspired me so much.
I just turned 28 and it's been a year of reflection: relationships, religion, beliefs, and ethics. One thing I've learned from your video is to let things go yet also live with intention. I've made new friends throughout the pandemic while also losing some secondary school friends, intentionally. It's been a wild change and you're helping me see what the future could hold. Thank you Jenn, Ben, Norma, and Lennon!!
and Ethics 😊 it's rare to see this and it's refreshing 😊 ✨
Jenn, thanks for this video. I'm gonna be turning 30 on Sunday. It feels a little scary to think that a decade will end, however this video inspired me to live even with more intention & focus, and make me realise I'm more than confident than ever. I feel that I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment of my life
Happy Birthday, you will love 30, promise
Happy early birthday, Sandra! This new chapter is going to be incredible. x
Probably the only influencer to admit you have a nanny. So appreciate this transparency because other mom influencers make it seem like they are just better than anyone else having a perfect life without help.
this style of video was so fun and enjoyable to watch! loved every second of it 🥰❤
That first sentence hit hard but in the sense that “how am I already in the last year of my early 20s”🥲 it’s been a weird experience bringing out my 20s in a pandemic, but i’m optimistic that the rest of my 20s & 30’s are something to look forward to! sending love & light, always, Jenn!
Omg Jenn, what a wonderful video, I got teary eyes! You're a great storyteller and I'm so happy for you living your best life. Love your wisdom and your perspectives as well as how honest and vulnerable you are. I'm currently in my mid 20s and it's soothing to see this video. I still feel like I'm worrying about so many things that won't even matter. I've grown quite a bit myself and got over so many things that a few years back couldn't even imagine. Thank you and I wish you and your family all the best!
Love the video and it's awesome that you're exposing Lennon to so many languages and learning to use them with him!
Would it be possible to eventually add subtitles to whole videos (either Open Captions as they are currently, or as Closed Captions)? The portions with captions make me feel extra immersed and getting to know what you're saying not only in other languages, but also the English parts when my house gets noisy from my own adulting life with a fur baby and significant other running around the house 😅. I think that they'd be awesome to have for people who are deaf or English second language learners to better access the video too!
Ahh I want to, but RUclips removed the community caption option. I'll look into paying for subtitles for my videos again though.
@@imjennim I'm watching a day late, but I am able to turn on CC for your video. I think it might just be when the video is freshly released Google hasn't had a chance to generate the captions. Not sure if it's something you have to enable on your side, but they are definitely appreciated. Signed, a hard-of-hearing fan
@@imjennim Noticed yesterday the added captions on your newest video and was pleasantly surprised you had them added retroactively to this one too!
Really appreciate not only how fast you responded to this, but also the little things like your excited "Yes!" and clapping about the Casa Amor episode, and Lennon's little babbling being recognized in the captions was so sweet to see on my second watch through the video 🥰.
Jenn thank you for being you and sharing your wisdom. I’m 26 and evaluating everything in my life now, changing career, improving my marriage… Watching you on this journey has been such an inspiration and help for me. Much love ❤️
The big sis I never had! I just want you to know Jen that your vlogs have become a part of my weekly routine now. I aspire to be just like you.
I’ve been a subscriber of yours since I was 20 years old, im now 28 and this video literally made me so teary eyed. You can just see and feel how genuine, grateful, and real you are. There’s so many times where I watch your videos where you say something, and I think to myself, wow, that’s a really great way of looking at it. I love growing up with you 🥹
waiting for my baby to sleep so i can actually hear this and enjoy it fully, tis adulting too!
Been following you since I was a teen and now I am almost in my 30's as well! Its been a blast watching your channel evolve and I've been loving these messages
I really dislike videos that speak on behalf of other people. It’s great she followed the norm and is in a happy and stable place. But it’s not happening for everyone in their 30s. And thus, I for one was left feeling sad and wrong after watching this. I’m sure other women who might be single in their thirties, maybe unable to conceive, without a stable income and so forth would feel the same. You highly recommend that decade? You mean your experience of that decade.
Don't feel sad, she got a divorce. Nothing is what it seems when it's just people you meet online. She put on a facade and can't figure herself out like she wanted
@@LuxuryMommywait how do you know it was all a facade ? She was with him for almost a decade... been following her since she was 17...its only natural for her priorities to change from being a teenager to an adult ! No hate just feel that comment made it seem like she failed and is fake bc she got a divorce lol
Jenn, I grew up watching your videos and was always so inspired by your outfits and the way you navigated through life.
As the years have gone by, I have seen you go through lots of hardships and also a ton of good times. Even though I'm a Viet girl from Texas, I resonated with you from day one and your experiences. You helped me grow and I know this is a strange parasocial relationship that I have placed upon you but you were like the big sister I admired and always wished I could have.
It warms my heart to see you're finally in a place of harmony and happiness. I wish you the best always.
❤
I hope people watching this video realize that having a baby does not “a genuine family” make. Not every married couple aspires to have children, and that does not exclude them from being a real family. This video, plus a prior one in which Jen says that outings before having a baby feel less meaningful than with a baby, are kind of a let down. Still a huge fan but disappointing nonetheless.
Why? That's how she feels. Having a child changes a person and their views
Thank you so much for creating beautiful, uplifting videos like this! Freshly getting into my mid-20s, I feel like I've been suddenly thrown into a lot of changes and those changes (even the prospects of change) are making me feel restless. It feels so positive and uplifting to see so many wonderful people creating a beautiful life in their 30s. Being more confident and driven than ever. Your content truly makes me feel uplifted.
Don't get botox!!! It is so toxic to the body, it's literally a neurotoxin. And it actually reduces empathy because it freezes your face muscles that naturally expand to express empathy. It interferes with a baby's ability to read their mother's emotions which creates a disconnect between the baby and mother that can effect them later on in life. You literally don't look a day over 25, your skin is incredible. But also you shoudn't be so afraid of looking your age, cause it's just buying into the unrealistic standard that social media has put upon us. Aging with grace is a beautiful thing.
