Bec talking about Raya’s beauty & her inner beauty made me tear up instantly. ❤❤ This conversation made me feel like I was there with you and I loved that 🥺
They are both two of the sweetest most amazing women on this planet. I wish I had a friend like them that was just so uplifting and kind. I feel you on the tearing up thing. I definitely was. Then leave it to Eamon to make me laugh. When he said he saw her shaking it and is looking pretty f*cking hot 😂 not laughing cuz I think he's wrong cuz he's totally right but just the way he said it. They're all just such positive energies and I love them!
Raya, I am almost 50, married, with three children… One of the nicest things of growing older is the grace you develop for yourself. Body image doesn’t matter, other people’s opinions matter less, generally empathy increases, and your relationships matter more than anything else. It’s really nice, actually. Thank you for your videos.
I’m over 60 and that grace continues to increase. Raya, you are beautiful. Curves are beautiful. (This is my first time watching your channel. I found you on Eamon and Bec, who I found through Kara and Nate.)
I agree! My belly isn’t very flat after having babies and it cracks me up how much my little kids love to rub it because it’s like bread dough. I try not to let it bother me because I know it’s not a big deal when I’m healthy.
Man Eamon, I can only imagine how hard it was to be by yourself so much when Bec would need to sleep so much when she was going through all her treatments. You are a total rock, and so grateful for all the people that would visit you during that time. I know Lee was watching over you during that time.
The vulnerability in this video is so amazing. Beautiful humans!!! The sharing of the feminine pressures of beauty standards, and masculine pressures of staying macho. Love you all! Thank you, as a Genxer, it's heartening to see younger generations embracing these concepts, and tossing the constructs out the window. Sending love and healing. 🙏💜😊🧘🏽♀️🕉 xoxo
Eamon breaking the tears and saying he saw Raya shaking it and she's looking pretty f*cking hot had me dying laughing. He's not wrong! But the way he said it was so dang funny!
Raya, you are such a bright light in the world! Society has told us as women and mothers that we aren't good enough the way we are and that is such BS. I 100% relate to you and I have struggled with body image my entire life and the changes it went through in pregnancy and after were hard to deal with sometimes. It helped me to remember that my body was able to create a LIFE. How amazing is that? My body is the portal for a soul to come to this earth in. I wish we could see ourselves through the eyes of those who love us, it would heal us from the inside out. Love both of you and I am so grateful you are spreading love and happiness on this earth!
Although I have known Louis and Raya have been around as they've popped up in K&N and E&B videos but I have only started watching your videos in the last couple of days. It was obviously meant to be, as I really needed this today. I needed to see Bec and Raya's energy and care for each other. What a great video. Loving you guys collaborating together.
This was fun!! Re: crying, I have a fascinating story for you. My son is trans and was born biologically female. During his teen years, before he began transitioning, he would cry at the drop of a hat... Cry when scared, when happy, when sad, etc etc. (so do I - I'm a weeper 😅), but he's now 4.5 years on Testosterone and says that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for him to cry anymore. He just rarely does it or rarely feels the urge or tears welling up like previously. I find that incredibly validating, as a woman, that crying is just part of my biology! 🥰 It is 100% hormone related. So no one beat yourself up ❣
So much of what you shared in this video needs to be heard by young people. Don’t wait to live your best life!!! Thank you all for sharing these wise truths.
Totally teared up in several places in this video. Love it. Love how vulnerable you allowed yourselves to be and to share that with us. I feel you on all the body image crap we go thru as women. It’s such a mind f*ck and so hard to feel as beautiful as we are because we’re told over and over how we are not beautiful if we have a tummy or hips or a booty and god forbid you have ALL the curves. 🙄 Raya, you are stunning just as you are!! As is Bec. And damnit, so am I!! 💪🏼 Love the comment to just dance and sing!! And, yes, just do the things!! ❤❤❤ And be opinionated about veganism!! It’s important! Lastly, the quote I carry with me is from the movie Strictly Ballroom, “a life lived in fear is a life half lived.” I’m taking the leap soon to live fully!! 💚
Got so emotional when Bec was talking with Raya about body image, it was raw! Thank you so much for sharing! So many women feel the same way and its so refreshing to see you both talk so openly about it.
I've paused the video to say this so I don't forget, Raya you've just made me cry because you've vocalised perfectly the horribly innate fear as a woman who has major insecurities around her body when it comes to pregnancy. But just know you are SO beautiful, inside and out. You are magic. And Thank-you. And also bravo to Bec for voicing what we all think of you. Big big love
I cannot explain how much this group has helped me with my mental health over the years! I love you all so much and thank you so much for sharing a part of your lives with us!
Thank you so much Raya for talking about body image. One of the reasons i gravitate towards your channel is because I see someone who looks like me in you. Someone who has curves and is GORGEOUS! It helps me picture myself traveling in the same way y'all do!
I LOVE this! Please do more vids like this with others like Kara and Nate, Kristen and Siya, etc! I really enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations with others. Would love to hear what other deep questions you all enjoy talking about (and which questions were discussed at your wedding!). Can you please post your list somewhere?? Also, I cried when Bec reassured Raya about her outer and inner beauty. Would love to have more of these same moments with my friends.
I am nearing the end of this video and plan to rewatch it with pauses to answer each question for myself. Self-reflection and awareness is good for the soul.
I'm sitting here in tears (throughout the entire video) but Raya-you are so beautiful. Having someone in your space that isn't a tiny woman has been so empowering for me. I've been battling some health issues, and weight gain has really been a huge depressing part of the journey for me. Seeing how beautifully put together you always are gave me hope that I can change a few things up and maybe feel pretty again. In that same way, Bec is ROCKING her new hair do...I know it must not have been easy, but you are GLOWING. Thank you all for sharing the meaningful stuff and making me think about some deeper,important things. Love you all oxox
Rays you obviously have a very special way about you. You seem very genuine and real. If someone/anyone judges you for your body and can’t see how beautiful you are inside and out you definitely don’t need that kind of person in your life. The video was great. I love getting know people through questions. Great idea.
When anger comes from an unprocessed emotional trigger it’s reactionary. I’m working on that through the lifeline technique. It’s amazing! I would love sitting down with all of you and run lifelines. It’s really about raising consciousness, then recognizing you are in a reactionary state and course correcting by bringing yourself back to present time consciousness. I really love this dialogue and resonate with all of your different and unique personalities. 🤟🏻🤗
I really LOVE this video you guys have shared with us. I also find that deep conversations like this are so great, and can really connect with the people in the space. Absolutely brilliant guys, was a great listen to whilst i was chopping the veggies for dinner 🥰🌱
Awwww yay! Meditation changed my life! I’m so glad you guys are going on a meditation journey! Last winter when I took a virtual class “how to meditate” I meditated every day with a mindfulness practice given to me by the instructor to start my day and I never had more insights and general peace to start my days and it was in the dead of winter when my mind can be harder to settle. Would be happy to set you up with the meditation coach that changed my life ❤
So I actually found her because she lives near me and was in a local women’s entrepreneur group with me and I did a Photoshoot for her. When I decided it was time for me to take her “learn to meditation class” she let me know there was a virtual option which was amazing because I started meditating in my own space with a coach. Epic!
Really enjoyed the honesty, support, and embracing the beauty of each of you. I had the good fortune to come across Eamon & Bec on RUclips. They introduced me to Kara & Nate, Kinging It, and now you two beautiful people. I love the adventurous and caring spirits that you all have and consider it encouraging for me as a nomad and adventurer at heart.
RAYA, You are BEAUTIFUL! I grew up feeling a lot of the same insecurities especially when it comes to my body. But as I got older I realised that this is my life, my story, my journey, I am the one in control about how I feel and how others or society makes me feel. Your soul shines and that's incredible. Sending you lots of love and light, keep smiling x
Bec talking about Raya’s beauty was my favourite part. Women lifting each other up. 👑 That’s what the world needs more of. ❤️ Also, I think Eamon would have some insights in Gabor Mate’s books. (i.e not liking alone time) Much love from Canada!
This was so interesting! I've been watching Eamon and Bec for years and I feel like this video really dug so much deeper than we've seen before. Really beautiful video guys 💛 You guys are so awesome.
For meditation and how to keep the habit: I started this probably a year ago and it helped me get through depression and horrible anxiety. I find either an app like Headspace, or just use guided meditations on youtube and try to find ones that suite how much time I have available to do the meditation. So sometimes I only have like 10 minutes before I had to get my day going but taking that time is more important than not doing it, so it was finding something that I could adapt to the time frame I had. When I had more time at my disposal like on a weekend I would do 20 to 30 minutes at first and then eventually an hour. I think it is also not pressuring yourself to be able to do a whole hour long meditation because "thats what youre supposed to do" meditation is meditation, and it can be difficult at first for your brain to shut off and do the meditation if you arent used to it. So I highly recommend easing yourself into it, finding a time that is most convenient every day to do it (like right in the morning or right before bed) and then just adapting to whatever time frame you have and not punishing yourself if you dont see benefits right away.
Raya, I know you read these comments. Even though it feels like ‘your body will never be the same’… it won’t. It will be better. Every stretch mark or jiggly is a reminder of the joy your baby brings you. This body we have faught to make smaller and tighter now bring you something you can’t bring a price on. You child will look at your relationship with yourself to form their own self love. I found radical self acceptance through pregnancy and post partum and I hope you do to. You are beautiful and what makes us different makes us beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I know that I can’t even imagine the awe and respect I will have for my body after I give birth and see what magic it has created. Thank you for this reminder ❤️
100%. I have never felt more powerful and strong than after the birth of my children. I was so amazed that my body was capable of growing an actual human. So empowering.
Raya I’ve had insecurities all my life too. I have two boys and my body is larger and different now than before, but I feel so much more gratitude towards my body now for all it has done to grown, birth and feed two humans. The imperfections truly do not get to me like they did before having children and I hope that’s your experience too. I think age also helps. We gain perspective on these things and continue to undo the beliefs that have been ingrained in us for so long. I paused the video to comment this because I see you and feel what that “stew” of insecurities feels like, but you are so beautiful inside and out. Lots of love your way. And Bec. Wow. You give such encouraging and beautiful and true words so effortlessly. What an awesome group of people!
Raya, you are going to make such an excellent mother. I am also self conscious, and had big concerns with how I was going to feel/look post-partum. I have a 9 month old now and feel so amazed and impressed by my body- nourishing from an egg to this tiny human and then (as a breastfeeding, absolutely no pressure- fed is best at the end of the day) as a breastfeeding mom till 6 months sustaining him from solely my body. Women's bodies are so incredible, I hope you get to experience the shockingly wonderful body positivity and further gratitude I have gained from pregnancy/motherhood! xx
This was a beautiful video ❤️ There were a lot of points that I strongly related to and I am grateful to you for letting us hear your thoughts. I hope every Sunday that I will someday get to have these conversations with you in person
I’m old…..I also was worried about what people thought of me. After living longer….most people don’t think about you at all. 😂 only care about the thinking of the people you value. No one else really matters.
I love these conversation videos. Maybe one day you guys could film a behind the scenes "how we make a plan come together over the longer term. So capture the planning, booking, logistics and though process behind the activities and then the actual event. The coming babe only adds to the fun, of course! My quote would be "One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name"
I do not know Eamon personally, but I have feeling (purely based on RUclips videos) he is a very sensitive induvidual. Something in his childhood must have taught him that showing emotions is dangerous/wrong. Anger is just there to rescue him from feeling hurt/shame/disappointment/sadness/fear. I think being uncomfortable alone and loving adrenaline is also about avoiding some emotions he has. Someone close to me had this "problem" as well, untill he went to therapy to work on that initial trauma that caused this (it doesn't necessarily need to be anything dramatic, just adults saying "don't cry" is enough for children to learn it's not ok to show emotions) and worked on letting himself feel those initial feelings. He was very overwhelmed at first when he started letting feelings come but now he has this inner calmness and is way happier!
Wow! Amazing watching you all interact! So much love and support for each other! My quote is from my Grandpa he would write to my mom when she was in nursing school "Don't give up the ship" My mom passed it along to me. For us it ment we had it in us to conquer anything good or bad that was thrown at us! 🥰
Hearing Raya speak about her emotional struggle with body image/issues resonated 100% with how I've felt my whole life, before, during and after 2 pregnancies. And as we are always our own worst critics, it is so easy to speak hurtful words about ourselves and what we think are flaws. But Bec totally nailed it, you are so absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. You truly are so beautiful, and then add to that your amazing energy, and you truly are a goddess Raya 💙 and again Bec just nailed it saying we all hope you find the day where you can look at yourself and see everything those who love you do. 20years post pregnancy and I am still learning how to love my body, you are totally not alone 💖
Raya and Louis, you are totally new to me, unlike Eamon and Bec whom I've been following for years. I'm definitely subscribing -- you are such a lovely couple and authentic individuals. I love your deep sharing!
I love the book 'Self-compassion' by Radhule weininger, in it she describes 7 self compassion practices, that include a mixture of meditation/ quick meditation practices, ive enjoyed following them, my other meditation practice is just to stop and look at the birds on the trees outside.
Thanks for sharing, it was nice to meet you (over video) I have came across your channel from Eamon and Bec’s channel. I appreciate how open you lol are with each other I was blessed to watch Eamon and Bec’s journey since the start of Covid in 2020…. I will be watching your journey as you upload the videos Sending you 4( Raya and Louie, Eamon and Bec) greetings from the other side of the world (New Zealand)…. Stay safe and Hope you have a good week 🙂
Loved watching this video 💜 Everyone's energy is beautiful!! A tip for getting into a regular practice of meditation: I've been practising on and off for 10 years (I'm 27 now), but have been more consistent with my practice everyday since May 2021. I decided to do a meditation course (Mindspo) and it was so helpful in learning where to place my meditation practice in my day. Swing it off the back of something you do without fail everyday, key point: IN THE MORNINNN 💜It's the best time to do it as you will not have experienced too much external stimuli. I brush my teeth, get some hot water and jump in! I now use the headspace app too for some shorter mediation practices. There are also sooo many on guided practices on RUclips too. But if you want to try a mantra meditation, I highly recommend picking a mantra and if you need some sound - listen to some wavy meditation sounds. Happy meditating 💜🌿🌺
I love how Bec really supported you Raya and mentally and physically touched you to feel that you are loved because of your soul. There is a way to train selflove. Just look in the mirror and really imagine the person you see in the mirror is a super good friend that you deeply love no matter what and than watch your thoughts. You don‘t have to be beautiful to deserve love and you don’t have to be thin to deserve love and you actually don’t have to be anything to deserve love like now your baby also deserves love for just his soul, not more or less. ❤️
Really enjoyed experiencing this conversation with you. Bec talking wanting to spend time with her parents and grandparents at the same ages. Truly the spirit is willing and the body is unable is a giant suckfest as we age but in our minds we picture ourselves as we were about then. I appreciate your group’s positivity in general and enjoy sharing in your experiences. Keep living in the moment!
Love hearing you talk openly about plant medicine! would love to hear more about your experiences, especially Eamon and Bec as I’ve watched their channel for a long time and not heard them talk about it before.
Aaaaw thank you guys SOO much for sharing! ❤️🙏 So much of what all of you said really resonated with me and some things I absolutely needed to hear today.
I love this videooooo - in regards to question about meditation/healthy habits, I really recommend starting a GRATITUDE JOURNAL!! Taking even just 10 minutes at the start of your day to write down at least 5 things you are grateful for, bring yourself back to your breath and say THANK YOU - thats the only prayer/meditation that you'll ever need: thank you. The power of gratitude is incredible and not only does being grateful make you happy, it attracts happiness around you. Love you guys so much, you are such an inspiration, all of you. So on that note, thank YOU guys, you're definitely going in my gratitude journal tonight! :)
RAYA, you're a beautiful person, inside and out, I showed your videos to my mom and she hasn't seen this one yet, I know she'd cry. my mom talks about how beautiful you are 💜💜💜
This was such a great video... and of course you all made me cry. I would love to see you all take Eamon and Bec to see ur new home in Costa Rica and maybe a meditation retreat. If the breath work affected you so much I can imagine what it would do for Eamon! All the love!
Who says your body will never be the same! I have two children I didn’t think that way or buy into that. I couldn’t wait to be pregnant and nursing after many miscarriages. It is good practice to not believe others experiences. I encourage you to create your own things. May you be Blessed on your lovely new journey 👼🏼💜
When I was pregnant I hated the fact people commented how big I was getting. I had worked hard for years to achieve body neutrality and it all crashed down I felt so self conscious because people kept bringing it up. After birth my body is a similar size to pre pregnancy but looks different I still have a small belly, like I did pre pregnancy, plus stretch marks and loose skin. But I am now in a place where those things are impossible to be uncomfortable with because I know that these marks and forms gifted me my son. I feel like I've transitioned past neutrality and really value my body more than I ever did before.
Legit everyone needs an Eamon and Bec in their lives! I loved Eamons comment about how hot Raya is! Takes a strong man to complement another man’s wife. Huge props to Louis also for letting Eamon say that too! These guys are amazing 💖💖💖
Oh Raya. I totally feel you. I get everything you are saying so deeply. But my goodness, you are so beautiful. Thank you for being so brave to share how you feel.
Oh Raya ❤ When you were talking about pregnancy and how you didn't fully love your body beforehand and "it's only going to get worse?" I felt this too and now that I'm on the other side actually feel MORE comfortable with my body since having a baby. Everyone is different but I'm hoping that the universe blesses you with the same peace when it comes to the vessel that carries your beautiful soul ❤❤❤
Raya, I’m sending you soooo much love!! Your body is a work of art and it is so powerful that it is growing and will birth a whole human!! Don’t worry about feeling like you need to “bounce back” after birth. Your body should be celebrated for the amazing accomplishment of bringing a spirit into human form. Also What I’ve found when creating new habits is to start really small. So when I was working to create a meditation habit I would start with doing as little as 2-5 minutes per day and work my way up from there!
Thank you for doing this! I think it provokes those of us watching, to ask ourselves or each other “ questions “, and it demonstrates that it’s ok to share & not sit in judgment of somebody else! Please do more of these upon occasion!
Thank you!! I’d love to do more of these 😊 having these deep raw chats is one of my passions and I do it off camera all the time but it’s great to do on camera sometimes!
Thank you for this video. I paused after each question to answer them for myself. I cried hard at a few and had some very unexpected realizations. Took me about an hour and a half to actually finish the video lol. ❤❤❤
Raya you are such a beautiful woman. Please don’t let society dictate how you feel about yourself! You have so much courage and I admire your honesty. My physical body is not what society deems as beautiful, but I am trying to embrace who I am and dam anyone who won’t accept me. Thank you for letting us see YOU and your loving spirit💕
Just so love this video, all 4 of you, so much vulnerability here, proving that Brene Brown, that Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation and creativity is accurate, thank you for sharing all of you, and for leading and inspiring vulnerability
This is one of the best videos I have seen. You made me think so much . However there's one thought I cannot get out of my head, Aemon & his helicopter🤣🤣🤣🤣. I think we have all had those moments & if you haven't get on with it. That baby's going to have such wonderful parents. I cannot wait to see it all happen should you wish to share. Love & blessings. X
When Louis said about being tight and anxious as a child I felt that. I always tried to be what others wanted. I’m 44 and unfortunately I still find myself Doug that. However this year I’m less inclined to care what others want and do what I want.
For the guys trying to get into meditation but have a hard time, yoga is the key. That's exactly what it's meant for. I would seek out a very traditional form and do a retreat that does a lot of it and some meditation. The traditions of India have the answer. Also the 10 day vipasana is the beginner class. You have to take that before you can take a three day. I've done the 10 day with no probs. But I've done a huge amount of yoga.
Raya, as someone who has also always struggled with body image, and worried about how my body would change with pregnancy. I can say that after having two kids, yes it does change and there is some adjusting, BUT you feel so powerful. You create life, you birth your baby! Learn to look at your body for all the amazing things it has done for you, and bringing new life into this world really helps you see that. You start to see it for how amazing it is and YOU are! Youre beautiful, especially on the inside and that to me matters the most!
What An AMAZING Video!!! I love the Rawness and transparency of All of your Answers to the Questions.... It's not Easy being Vulnerable, but y'all were...Thank you Louis and Raya and Eamon and Bec!! Wishing you all The Blessings and Love in the World, and would love to see more videos of you All in the future... Louis,Raya, Eamon and Bec, You are All so loving, caring and kind... We need more people like you in this world 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Well I was crying through this whole video…. I follow all you guys and have for a long time… I love the raw emotion and honest answers you all gave. THANK YOU!!! ❤
Wow this was deep and I felt so many of the questions you asked and answers you gave. 🧡 It seems we all place too much emphasis on fear and the judgement of others. 😥 And as a curvy woman who has struggled with self image and confidence for so many years, I just wanted to reach out and hug Raya! 💕 You are such a beautiful person inside and out just the way you are. Thank you to all four of you beautiful souls for sharing your inner thoughts and feelings. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
LOVE this gathering. Thank you all for your your transparency. Bec..I especially love your therapist challenge...Let yourself be enough. Wow!!! Love you all.
I discoverd you both on the boat and then the house videos of Kara and Nate. Raya, I cried when you spoke about your body issues, and how you feel about having a curvy during and after pregnancy. I want to say one thing to you, with love. You are such a beautiful human being. Louis is so lucky to have a sylph in his life.
You all warm my heart so much. Must see coloma cottages. It's quiet and peaceful and gold rush history is cool. But in general just the quiet space I think you guys would enjoy. Oh and white water rafting. I'm having my wedding there in Oct.:)
I have insecurities about my body to but then I think about how amazing my body is for growing and birthing two beautiful human beings, my body did that. Don't listen to society, let yourself be beautiful just as you are, and you are btw ❤️🙏
Raya, oh honey, I teared up watching you struggle with your body image. You're so right about the pressures put on women, but I want to encourage like so many others. I've seen you for awhile now and I always think to myself not only how beautiful you are, sexy curves, full on woman power beauty, but your inner beauty shines so bright. There's this feminity about you that is so incredibly strong and filled with light. I imagine it as this calm, feminine, independent, knowing of yourself that exudes strength and love and joy. Pure light my friend. You shine bright.
I swear I could've listened to more...not sure why I cried during some of the answers but yea I cried. Perhaps because I understood the reasons why I hold myself back from my full potential. Gotta get my youtube started for real this time. Oh.. you guys are wonderful and I would love to meet y'all! Xoxo from Dallas Texas ❤️
I love everything about this video. You all are lovely people with wonderful energy. Seeing you together just bumps up the joy. Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this magic. Sending you all so much love ♥
Suggestion: a 90 day rain retreat at a Buddhist monastery. Plum village has monasteries all over the world. Eamen could start his meditation practice there.
Isn't it strange how we view ourselves? Raya, the first thing I thought when I stumbled across this channel is how beautiful (inside and out) you are! Four beautiful souls on that couch 😊
I make 10 min meditation part of my bedtime routine... At the end of the day what people are really afraid of losing their ability to meet their basic needs... Marketing preys on women's insecurities to sell their products... My step grandmother died while I was still an addict. She made the best pear honey. I cant find anything like it. I so wished I would have taken the time to make it with her... singing stimulates the vagus nerve.
wow I found your channel through eamon and bec and I can feel how beautiful your energy is through the screen!!! I love this deep, meaningful chats are such a cup fill and it's so beautiful to share friendships like this ❤❤❤❤
You're absolutely beautiful Raya, inside and out ❤❤ You're a shining light and I agree with what Bec said 100% - and Bec you are so beautiful as well - such amazing people you all are 💗
Raya - I had 3 kids in 3 years - and I completely feel you. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. When I had my first - my amazing partner had me take photos to celebrate the changes. I read something once that really stuck with me. I say this to you as someone who was one way pre-kids and another post. We are all here for you. I was there for the morning sickness, the amazing changes of the body, when we learned how to make cream for the belly as is grew, adjusting to the baby (and some amazing surprises along the way). In our society we've lost that circle of folks that are helpful - please let me know if there's any questions (none are too small). You go you amazing mama!
21:02 Bec… same moment for me! 😂 specifically when we were camping in our tent we were so happy to be there (camping in the woods is our happy place) my husband did that and I actually caught it on camera! Just thinking about it and smiling & giggling!

Bec talking about Raya’s beauty & her inner beauty made me tear up instantly. ❤❤ This conversation made me feel like I was there with you and I loved that 🥺
I just teared up at the same moment you were talking about 🥺
They are both two of the sweetest most amazing women on this planet. I wish I had a friend like them that was just so uplifting and kind. I feel you on the tearing up thing. I definitely was. Then leave it to Eamon to make me laugh. When he said he saw her shaking it and is looking pretty f*cking hot 😂 not laughing cuz I think he's wrong cuz he's totally right but just the way he said it. They're all just such positive energies and I love them!
BEC! Everyone needs a Bec in their life! She is so uplifting and encouraging!!
Raya, I am almost 50, married, with three children… One of the nicest things of growing older is the grace you develop for yourself. Body image doesn’t matter, other people’s opinions matter less, generally empathy increases, and your relationships matter more than anything else. It’s really nice, actually. Thank you for your videos.
I really love your comment. ❤
I’m over 60 and that grace continues to increase. Raya, you are beautiful. Curves are beautiful. (This is my first time watching your channel. I found you on Eamon and Bec, who I found through Kara and Nate.)
@@rosaleejo I look forward to it.
I agree! My belly isn’t very flat after having babies and it cracks me up how much my little kids love to rub it because it’s like bread dough. I try not to let it bother me because I know it’s not a big deal when I’m healthy.
Man Eamon, I can only imagine how hard it was to be by yourself so much when Bec would need to sleep so much when she was going through all her treatments. You are a total rock, and so grateful for all the people that would visit you during that time. I know Lee was watching over you during that time.
The vulnerability in this video is so amazing. Beautiful humans!!! The sharing of the feminine pressures of beauty standards, and masculine pressures of staying macho. Love you all! Thank you, as a Genxer, it's heartening to see younger generations embracing these concepts, and tossing the constructs out the window. Sending love and healing. 🙏💜😊🧘🏽♀️🕉 xoxo
Eamon breaking the tears and saying he saw Raya shaking it and she's looking pretty f*cking hot had me dying laughing. He's not wrong! But the way he said it was so dang funny!
Raya, you are such a bright light in the world! Society has told us as women and mothers that we aren't good enough the way we are and that is such BS. I 100% relate to you and I have struggled with body image my entire life and the changes it went through in pregnancy and after were hard to deal with sometimes. It helped me to remember that my body was able to create a LIFE. How amazing is that? My body is the portal for a soul to come to this earth in. I wish we could see ourselves through the eyes of those who love us, it would heal us from the inside out. Love both of you and I am so grateful you are spreading love and happiness on this earth!
Although I have known Louis and Raya have been around as they've popped up in K&N and E&B videos but I have only started watching your videos in the last couple of days. It was obviously meant to be, as I really needed this today. I needed to see Bec and Raya's energy and care for each other. What a great video. Loving you guys collaborating together.
This was fun!! Re: crying, I have a fascinating story for you. My son is trans and was born biologically female. During his teen years, before he began transitioning, he would cry at the drop of a hat... Cry when scared, when happy, when sad, etc etc. (so do I - I'm a weeper 😅), but he's now 4.5 years on Testosterone and says that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for him to cry anymore. He just rarely does it or rarely feels the urge or tears welling up like previously. I find that incredibly validating, as a woman, that crying is just part of my biology! 🥰
It is 100% hormone related. So no one beat yourself up ❣
This is my favorite video I’ve ever watched. You all 4 are so touching And stunning humans. Thanks for this.
So much of what you shared in this video needs to be heard by young people. Don’t wait to live your best life!!! Thank you all for sharing these wise truths.
Totally teared up in several places in this video. Love it. Love how vulnerable you allowed yourselves to be and to share that with us. I feel you on all the body image crap we go thru as women. It’s such a mind f*ck and so hard to feel as beautiful as we are because we’re told over and over how we are not beautiful if we have a tummy or hips or a booty and god forbid you have ALL the curves. 🙄 Raya, you are stunning just as you are!! As is Bec. And damnit, so am I!! 💪🏼 Love the comment to just dance and sing!! And, yes, just do the things!! ❤❤❤ And be opinionated about veganism!! It’s important! Lastly, the quote I carry with me is from the movie Strictly Ballroom, “a life lived in fear is a life half lived.” I’m taking the leap soon to live fully!! 💚
Got so emotional when Bec was talking with Raya about body image, it was raw! Thank you so much for sharing! So many women feel the same way and its so refreshing to see you both talk so openly about it.
I've paused the video to say this so I don't forget, Raya you've just made me cry because you've vocalised perfectly the horribly innate fear as a woman who has major insecurities around her body when it comes to pregnancy. But just know you are SO beautiful, inside and out. You are magic. And Thank-you. And also bravo to Bec for voicing what we all think of you. Big big love
I cannot explain how much this group has helped me with my mental health over the years! I love you all so much and thank you so much for sharing a part of your lives with us!
Thank you so much Raya for talking about body image. One of the reasons i gravitate towards your channel is because I see someone who looks like me in you. Someone who has curves and is GORGEOUS! It helps me picture myself traveling in the same way y'all do!
Ahh this makes me so happy!! Thank you Ayesha ❤️
I LOVE this! Please do more vids like this with others like Kara and Nate, Kristen and Siya, etc! I really enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations with others. Would love to hear what other deep questions you all enjoy talking about (and which questions were discussed at your wedding!). Can you please post your list somewhere?? Also, I cried when Bec reassured Raya about her outer and inner beauty. Would love to have more of these same moments with my friends.
AND you should all come to Sri Lanka, i think you'd all love it here! ❤
I am nearing the end of this video and plan to rewatch it with pauses to answer each question for myself. Self-reflection and awareness is good for the soul.
I am also going to ask my sister these questions. Thank you all for this thoughtful video and for sharing your answers.
I love these ideas Diane!! I hope this led to some great self reflection and hopefully beautiful conversation with your sister 😊
I'm sitting here in tears (throughout the entire video) but Raya-you are so beautiful. Having someone in your space that isn't a tiny woman has been so empowering for me. I've been battling some health issues, and weight gain has really been a huge depressing part of the journey for me. Seeing how beautifully put together you always are gave me hope that I can change a few things up and maybe feel pretty again. In that same way, Bec is ROCKING her new hair do...I know it must not have been easy, but you are GLOWING. Thank you all for sharing the meaningful stuff and making me think about some deeper,important things. Love you all oxox
Rays you obviously have a very special way about you. You seem very genuine and real. If someone/anyone judges you for your body and can’t see how beautiful you are inside and out you definitely don’t need that kind of person in your life.
The video was great. I love getting know people through questions. Great idea.
When anger comes from an unprocessed emotional trigger it’s reactionary. I’m working on that through the lifeline technique. It’s amazing! I would love sitting down with all of you and run lifelines. It’s really about raising consciousness, then recognizing you are in a reactionary state and course correcting by bringing yourself back to present time consciousness. I really love this dialogue and resonate with all of your different and unique personalities. 🤟🏻🤗
I really LOVE this video you guys have shared with us. I also find that deep conversations like this are so great, and can really connect with the people in the space. Absolutely brilliant guys, was a great listen to whilst i was chopping the veggies for dinner 🥰🌱
Awwww yay! Meditation changed my life! I’m so glad you guys are going on a meditation journey! Last winter when I took a virtual class “how to meditate” I meditated every day with a mindfulness practice given to me by the instructor to start my day and I never had more insights and general peace to start my days and it was in the dead of winter when my mind can be harder to settle. Would be happy to set you up with the meditation coach that changed my life ❤
Omg I would actually LOVE to hear more about this! How did you find your meditation coach?
So I actually found her because she lives near me and was in a local women’s entrepreneur group with me and I did a Photoshoot for her. When I decided it was time for me to take her “learn to meditation class” she let me know there was a virtual option which was amazing because I started meditating in my own space with a coach. Epic!
Really enjoyed the honesty, support, and embracing the beauty of each of you. I had the good fortune to come across Eamon & Bec on RUclips. They introduced me to Kara & Nate, Kinging It, and now you two beautiful people. I love the adventurous and caring spirits that you all have and consider it encouraging for me as a nomad and adventurer at heart.
RAYA, You are BEAUTIFUL! I grew up feeling a lot of the same insecurities especially when it comes to my body. But as I got older I realised that this is my life, my story, my journey, I am the one in control about how I feel and how others or society makes me feel. Your soul shines and that's incredible. Sending you lots of love and light, keep smiling x
Thank you for having this awesome conversation. You're all such beautiful people spreading joy to the world, both RUclips and otherwise!
Bec talking about Raya’s beauty was my favourite part. Women lifting each other up. 👑 That’s what the world needs more of. ❤️ Also, I think Eamon would have some insights in Gabor Mate’s books. (i.e not liking alone time) Much love from Canada!
This was so interesting! I've been watching Eamon and Bec for years and I feel like this video really dug so much deeper than we've seen before. Really beautiful video guys 💛 You guys are so awesome.
For meditation and how to keep the habit: I started this probably a year ago and it helped me get through depression and horrible anxiety. I find either an app like Headspace, or just use guided meditations on youtube and try to find ones that suite how much time I have available to do the meditation. So sometimes I only have like 10 minutes before I had to get my day going but taking that time is more important than not doing it, so it was finding something that I could adapt to the time frame I had. When I had more time at my disposal like on a weekend I would do 20 to 30 minutes at first and then eventually an hour. I think it is also not pressuring yourself to be able to do a whole hour long meditation because "thats what youre supposed to do" meditation is meditation, and it can be difficult at first for your brain to shut off and do the meditation if you arent used to it. So I highly recommend easing yourself into it, finding a time that is most convenient every day to do it (like right in the morning or right before bed) and then just adapting to whatever time frame you have and not punishing yourself if you dont see benefits right away.
Raya, I know you read these comments. Even though it feels like ‘your body will never be the same’… it won’t. It will be better. Every stretch mark or jiggly is a reminder of the joy your baby brings you. This body we have faught to make smaller and tighter now bring you something you can’t bring a price on. You child will look at your relationship with yourself to form their own self love. I found radical self acceptance through pregnancy and post partum and I hope you do to. You are beautiful and what makes us different makes us beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I know that I can’t even imagine the awe and respect I will have for my body after I give birth and see what magic it has created. Thank you for this reminder ❤️
100%. I have never felt more powerful and strong than after the birth of my children. I was so amazed that my body was capable of growing an actual human. So empowering.
Raya I’ve had insecurities all my life too. I have two boys and my body is larger and different now than before, but I feel so much more gratitude towards my body now for all it has done to grown, birth and feed two humans. The imperfections truly do not get to me like they did before having children and I hope that’s your experience too. I think age also helps. We gain perspective on these things and continue to undo the beliefs that have been ingrained in us for so long. I paused the video to comment this because I see you and feel what that “stew” of insecurities feels like, but you are so beautiful inside and out. Lots of love your way.
And Bec. Wow. You give such encouraging and beautiful and true words so effortlessly. What an awesome group of people!
Raya, you are going to make such an excellent mother. I am also self conscious, and had big concerns with how I was going to feel/look post-partum. I have a 9 month old now and feel so amazed and impressed by my body- nourishing from an egg to this tiny human and then (as a breastfeeding, absolutely no pressure- fed is best at the end of the day) as a breastfeeding mom till 6 months sustaining him from solely my body. Women's bodies are so incredible, I hope you get to experience the shockingly wonderful body positivity and further gratitude I have gained from pregnancy/motherhood! xx
This was a beautiful video ❤️ There were a lot of points that I strongly related to and I am grateful to you for letting us hear your thoughts. I hope every Sunday that I will someday get to have these conversations with you in person
I’m old…..I also was worried about what people thought of me. After living longer….most people don’t think about you at all. 😂 only care about the thinking of the people you value. No one else really matters.
I love these conversation videos. Maybe one day you guys could film a behind the scenes "how we make a plan come together over the longer term. So capture the planning, booking, logistics and though process behind the activities and then the actual event. The coming babe only adds to the fun, of course! My quote would be "One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name"
I do not know Eamon personally, but I have feeling (purely based on RUclips videos) he is a very sensitive induvidual. Something in his childhood must have taught him that showing emotions is dangerous/wrong. Anger is just there to rescue him from feeling hurt/shame/disappointment/sadness/fear. I think being uncomfortable alone and loving adrenaline is also about avoiding some emotions he has. Someone close to me had this "problem" as well, untill he went to therapy to work on that initial trauma that caused this (it doesn't necessarily need to be anything dramatic, just adults saying "don't cry" is enough for children to learn it's not ok to show emotions) and worked on letting himself feel those initial feelings. He was very overwhelmed at first when he started letting feelings come but now he has this inner calmness and is way happier!
Wow! Amazing watching you all interact! So much love and support for each other! My quote is from my Grandpa he would write to my mom when she was in nursing school "Don't give up the ship" My mom passed it along to me. For us it ment we had it in us to conquer anything good or bad that was thrown at us! 🥰
Hearing Raya speak about her emotional struggle with body image/issues resonated 100% with how I've felt my whole life, before, during and after 2 pregnancies. And as we are always our own worst critics, it is so easy to speak hurtful words about ourselves and what we think are flaws. But Bec totally nailed it, you are so absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. You truly are so beautiful, and then add to that your amazing energy, and you truly are a goddess Raya 💙 and again Bec just nailed it saying we all hope you find the day where you can look at yourself and see everything those who love you do. 20years post pregnancy and I am still learning how to love my body, you are totally not alone 💖
Raya and Louis, you are totally new to me, unlike Eamon and Bec whom I've been following for years. I'm definitely subscribing -- you are such a lovely couple and authentic individuals. I love your deep sharing!
bec is so smart, we already know that, but to hear her talk deep again. I feel that she has the right words for everything
I love the book 'Self-compassion' by Radhule weininger, in it she describes 7 self compassion practices, that include a mixture of meditation/ quick meditation practices, ive enjoyed following them, my other meditation practice is just to stop and look at the birds on the trees outside.
Thanks for sharing, it was nice to meet you (over video) I have came across your channel from Eamon and Bec’s channel. I appreciate how open you lol are with each other I was blessed to watch Eamon and Bec’s journey since the start of Covid in 2020…. I will be watching your journey as you upload the videos
Sending you 4( Raya and Louie, Eamon and Bec) greetings from the other side of the world (New Zealand)…. Stay safe and Hope you have a good week 🙂
Loved watching this video 💜 Everyone's energy is beautiful!!
A tip for getting into a regular practice of meditation: I've been practising on and off for 10 years (I'm 27 now), but have been more consistent with my practice everyday since May 2021. I decided to do a meditation course (Mindspo) and it was so helpful in learning where to place my meditation practice in my day. Swing it off the back of something you do without fail everyday, key point: IN THE MORNINNN 💜It's the best time to do it as you will not have experienced too much external stimuli. I brush my teeth, get some hot water and jump in! I now use the headspace app too for some shorter mediation practices. There are also sooo many on guided practices on RUclips too. But if you want to try a mantra meditation, I highly recommend picking a mantra and if you need some sound - listen to some wavy meditation sounds.
Happy meditating 💜🌿🌺
I love how Bec really supported you Raya and mentally and physically touched you to feel that you are loved because of your soul. There is a way to train selflove. Just look in the mirror and really imagine the person you see in the mirror is a super good friend that you deeply love no matter what and than watch your thoughts. You don‘t have to be beautiful to deserve love and you don’t have to be thin to deserve love and you actually don’t have to be anything to deserve love like now your baby also deserves love for just his soul, not more or less. ❤️
Really enjoyed experiencing this conversation with you. Bec talking wanting to spend time with her parents and grandparents at the same ages. Truly the spirit is willing and the body is unable is a giant suckfest as we age but in our minds we picture ourselves as we were about then. I appreciate your group’s positivity in general and enjoy sharing in your experiences. Keep living in the moment!
Love hearing you talk openly about plant medicine! would love to hear more about your experiences, especially Eamon and Bec as I’ve watched their channel for a long time and not heard them talk about it before.
Aaaaw thank you guys SOO much for sharing! ❤️🙏 So much of what all of you said really resonated with me and some things I absolutely needed to hear today.
Such a moving video. You really come alive with the revealing questions and make me feel I know you even better. Thanks.
I love this videooooo - in regards to question about meditation/healthy habits, I really recommend starting a GRATITUDE JOURNAL!! Taking even just 10 minutes at the start of your day to write down at least 5 things you are grateful for, bring yourself back to your breath and say THANK YOU - thats the only prayer/meditation that you'll ever need: thank you. The power of gratitude is incredible and not only does being grateful make you happy, it attracts happiness around you. Love you guys so much, you are such an inspiration, all of you. So on that note, thank YOU guys, you're definitely going in my gratitude journal tonight! :)
RAYA, you're a beautiful person, inside and out, I showed your videos to my mom and she hasn't seen this one yet, I know she'd cry. my mom talks about how beautiful you are 💜💜💜
This was such a great video... and of course you all made me cry. I would love to see you all take Eamon and Bec to see ur new home in Costa Rica and maybe a meditation retreat. If the breath work affected you so much I can imagine what it would do for Eamon! All the love!
Who says your body will never be the same! I have two children I didn’t think that way or buy into that. I couldn’t wait to be pregnant and nursing after many miscarriages. It is good practice to not believe others experiences. I encourage you to create your own things. May you be Blessed on your lovely new journey 👼🏼💜
When I was pregnant I hated the fact people commented how big I was getting. I had worked hard for years to achieve body neutrality and it all crashed down I felt so self conscious because people kept bringing it up. After birth my body is a similar size to pre pregnancy but looks different I still have a small belly, like I did pre pregnancy, plus stretch marks and loose skin. But I am now in a place where those things are impossible to be uncomfortable with because I know that these marks and forms gifted me my son. I feel like I've transitioned past neutrality and really value my body more than I ever did before.
Legit everyone needs an Eamon and Bec in their lives! I loved Eamons comment about how hot Raya is! Takes a strong man to complement another man’s wife. Huge props to Louis also for letting Eamon say that too! These guys are amazing 💖💖💖
The way Eamon hypes up the women around him, and how Bec is there for it....UGH love ya
Travel Idea. All of you in the cabin with lil one. So Eamon and Bec can see what parenthood is like❤
Oh Raya. I totally feel you. I get everything you are saying so deeply. But my goodness, you are so beautiful. Thank you for being so brave to share how you feel.
Thank you so much! ❤
Oh Raya ❤ When you were talking about pregnancy and how you didn't fully love your body beforehand and "it's only going to get worse?"
I felt this too and now that I'm on the other side actually feel MORE comfortable with my body since having a baby. Everyone is different but I'm hoping that the universe blesses you with the same peace when it comes to the vessel that carries your beautiful soul ❤❤❤
Raya, I’m sending you soooo much love!! Your body is a work of art and it is so powerful that it is growing and will birth a whole human!! Don’t worry about feeling like you need to “bounce back” after birth. Your body should be celebrated for the amazing accomplishment of bringing a spirit into human form.
Also What I’ve found when creating new habits is to start really small. So when I was working to create a meditation habit I would start with doing as little as 2-5 minutes per day and work my way up from there!
Love this! That definitely makes it sound more doable
Thank you for doing this! I think it provokes those of us watching, to ask ourselves or each other “ questions “, and it demonstrates that it’s ok to share & not sit in judgment of somebody else! Please do more of these upon occasion!
Thank you!! I’d love to do more of these 😊 having these deep raw chats is one of my passions and I do it off camera all the time but it’s great to do on camera sometimes!
Thank you for this video. I paused after each question to answer them for myself. I cried hard at a few and had some very unexpected realizations. Took me about an hour and a half to actually finish the video lol. ❤❤❤
Bec is so encouraging and inspirational. You guys are all so great. I'm going to binge watch you guys.
Love you guys. Thanks for opening up with us ❤
Love seeing you all so happy together, Thx for sharing 😊❤
Raya you are such a beautiful woman. Please don’t let society dictate how you feel about yourself! You have so much courage and I admire your honesty. My physical body is not what society deems as beautiful, but I am trying to embrace who I am and dam anyone who won’t accept me. Thank you for letting us see YOU and your loving spirit💕
Just so love this video, all 4 of you, so much vulnerability here, proving that Brene Brown, that Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation and creativity is accurate, thank you for sharing all of you, and for leading and inspiring vulnerability
"What do you want?" - so simple, yet so effective (especially if you hear it when you're open to being honest with yourself about it).
This is one of the best videos I have seen. You made me think so much . However there's one thought I cannot get out of my head, Aemon & his helicopter🤣🤣🤣🤣. I think we have all had those moments & if you haven't get on with it. That baby's going to have such wonderful parents. I cannot wait to see it all happen should you wish to share. Love & blessings. X
When Louis said about being tight and anxious as a child I felt that.
I always tried to be what others wanted.
I’m 44 and unfortunately I still find myself Doug that.
However this year I’m less inclined to care what others want and do what I want.
For the guys trying to get into meditation but have a hard time, yoga is the key. That's exactly what it's meant for. I would seek out a very traditional form and do a retreat that does a lot of it and some meditation. The traditions of India have the answer.
Also the 10 day vipasana is the beginner class. You have to take that before you can take a three day. I've done the 10 day with no probs. But I've done a huge amount of yoga.
Raya, as someone who has also always struggled with body image, and worried about how my body would change with pregnancy. I can say that after having two kids, yes it does change and there is some adjusting, BUT you feel so powerful. You create life, you birth your baby! Learn to look at your body for all the amazing things it has done for you, and bringing new life into this world really helps you see that. You start to see it for how amazing it is and YOU are! Youre beautiful, especially on the inside and that to me matters the most!
What An AMAZING Video!!! I love the Rawness and transparency of All of your Answers to the Questions.... It's not Easy being Vulnerable, but y'all were...Thank you Louis and Raya and Eamon and Bec!! Wishing you all The Blessings and Love in the World, and would love to see more videos of you All in the future... Louis,Raya, Eamon and Bec, You are All so loving, caring and kind... We need more people like you in this world 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Well I was crying through this whole video…. I follow all you guys and have for a long time… I love the raw emotion and honest answers you all gave. THANK YOU!!! ❤
Wow this was deep and I felt so many of the questions you asked and answers you gave. 🧡 It seems we all place too much emphasis on fear and the judgement of others. 😥 And as a curvy woman who has struggled with self image and confidence for so many years, I just wanted to reach out and hug Raya! 💕 You are such a beautiful person inside and out just the way you are. Thank you to all four of you beautiful souls for sharing your inner thoughts and feelings. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
LOVE this gathering. Thank you all for your your transparency. Bec..I especially love your therapist challenge...Let yourself be enough. Wow!!! Love you all.
Oh Raya I wish I could hold you right now! You are so beautiful, it shines from your soul and makes the whole room beautiful!
I discoverd you both on the boat and then the house videos of Kara and Nate.
Raya, I cried when you spoke about your body issues, and how you feel about having a curvy during and after pregnancy.
I want to say one thing to you, with love.
You are such a beautiful human being.
Louis is so lucky to have a sylph in his life.
I added sylph after, but it was the word I was looking for.
Not a edit, a troth.
You all warm my heart so much. Must see coloma cottages. It's quiet and peaceful and gold rush history is cool. But in general just the quiet space I think you guys would enjoy. Oh and white water rafting. I'm having my wedding there in Oct.:)
I have insecurities about my body to but then I think about how amazing my body is for growing and birthing two beautiful human beings, my body did that. Don't listen to society, let yourself be beautiful just as you are, and you are btw ❤️🙏
Oh, sweet Raya!! Having that sweet baby is going to be so much more important when they get here!!
Raya, oh honey, I teared up watching you struggle with your body image. You're so right about the pressures put on women, but I want to encourage like so many others. I've seen you for awhile now and I always think to myself not only how beautiful you are, sexy curves, full on woman power beauty, but your inner beauty shines so bright. There's this feminity about you that is so incredibly strong and filled with light. I imagine it as this calm, feminine, independent, knowing of yourself that exudes strength and love and joy. Pure light my friend. You shine bright.
Such an interesting video, thank you all for sharing this!
I swear I could've listened to more...not sure why I cried during some of the answers but yea I cried. Perhaps because I understood the reasons why I hold myself back from my full potential. Gotta get my youtube started for real this time. Oh.. you guys are wonderful and I would love to meet y'all! Xoxo from Dallas Texas ❤️
LOVED this video!!! I LOVE deep topics, please make more videos like this 💙 especially with Eamon and Bec or other friends!!!
I love everything about this video. You all are lovely people with wonderful energy. Seeing you together just bumps up the joy. Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this magic. Sending you all so much love ♥
I just love you guys !!!!! Soooooo positive!!! It is honestly refreshing to watch!!! ❤️❤️
I never wanted this video to end. The vibe you guys have is beautiful! ❤
This video is amazing! You all sharing and being so open is really inspiring. Beautiful people inside and out.
Suggestion: a 90 day rain retreat at a Buddhist monastery. Plum village has monasteries all over the world. Eamen could start his meditation practice there.
Loved this conversation. When we can be real and get beyond surface level conversation, it’s such a heartfelt experience.
I loved this video! I could literally listen to all of you talk all night.
Isn't it strange how we view ourselves? Raya, the first thing I thought when I stumbled across this channel is how beautiful (inside and out) you are! Four beautiful souls on that couch 😊
I make 10 min meditation part of my bedtime routine... At the end of the day what people are really afraid of losing their ability to meet their basic needs... Marketing preys on women's insecurities to sell their products... My step grandmother died while I was still an addict. She made the best pear honey. I cant find anything like it. I so wished I would have taken the time to make it with her... singing stimulates the vagus nerve.
Extraordinary. Truly. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and honesty 🙏♥️ Beautiful ♥️🙏
wow I found your channel through eamon and bec and I can feel how beautiful your energy is through the screen!!! I love this deep, meaningful chats are such a cup fill and it's so beautiful to share friendships like this ❤❤❤❤
You're absolutely beautiful Raya, inside and out ❤❤ You're a shining light and I agree with what Bec said 100% - and Bec you are so beautiful as well - such amazing people you all are 💗
Raya - I had 3 kids in 3 years - and I completely feel you. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. When I had my first - my amazing partner had me take photos to celebrate the changes. I read something once that really stuck with me. I say this to you as someone who was one way pre-kids and another post. We are all here for you. I was there for the morning sickness, the amazing changes of the body, when we learned how to make cream for the belly as is grew, adjusting to the baby (and some amazing surprises along the way). In our society we've lost that circle of folks that are helpful - please let me know if there's any questions (none are too small). You go you amazing mama!
21:02 Bec… same moment for me! 😂 specifically when we were camping in our tent we were so happy to be there (camping in the woods is our happy place) my husband did that and I actually caught it on camera! Just thinking about it and smiling & giggling!
