I legit teared up at the quote about fatigue, I literally had an emotional breakdown yesterday telling my husband how tired I am of the pain I've been in (nerve pain from a spine alignment issue). I'm so exhausted, and you are so right about just being worn down from always "showing up" and feeling like nothing ever changes (or changes fast enough). I'm so grateful your video popped up on my feed, you helped me feel less alone and also give myself more grace on my own healing journey. I wish you the best, and may your healing be quick and relieving ♥
Hey Ashley, I’ve been going through a similar journey within the last couple of months. I’ve been dealing with nerve issues in my neck which caused my neck to become really stiff. I was trying to do all the right things to treat it like physio and chiro, but in reality I needed to listen to my body and just let it rest and relax on its own. Sometimes it’s ok to take things slow as hard as it seems. I really believe the guided mediation stuff that Elicia mentioned helps with regulating your nervous system which helps manage stress. I hope you feel better soon
@Charlotte-ug8hs thank you for your kind words Charlotte! You're so right about listening to the body and slowing down, I'm trying to do that more too! I'll definitely be trying out more meditations too to help calm myself down, being a bundle of stressed nerves definitely isn't helping! Wishing you the best ❤️❤️
I love hearing you reword “buying” kitchen things as “investing.” I’ve been doing the same rewording myself. I have some healing work to do with underspending, and calling buying “investing” helps with not thinking every reasonable purchase is still a waste of money.
Coincidentally, I am also going through a bad UC flare up - it’s been over a month and it’s incredibly defeating and frustrating at times. Especially with the holidays approaching. However, your videos are so helpful in feeling someone understands and is just trying to get through their every day, too. Hope you feel better soon! We’ve got this.
So crazy to hear when you guys tell me you have UC like 😭 I’m really happy that my content on this topic can be helpful to people like us because wow did I ever wish when I was diagnosed in 2017 that more people were sharing their journey.. 🤍 definitely sucks going through this during the holidays, but we’ve got this girl 🤍
ugh getting over a bad flare of my own gut and chronic health issues, trying to figure out the best ways to take care of myself this winter especially amidst the chaos of the US… thank you for your content as always! I have this on to support me rn during morning anxiety ❤
The quote you said at the beginning made me wanna tear up. I’m on my healing journey rn and I’m having a hard time. Hearing other people going through it just reminds me that we’re all going through this together 🥹 thank you for being my soul sister on this app and all the other ones too😊
Honestly needed this so much. I’ve been going through a really bad period mentally/emotionally these past months and I’m trying so hard to heal again. Little steps but this has some good reminders that I needed to hear :)
Girl, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel and a listener to your podcast for quite some time now (an OG here 😅). I rarely comment, but I have to tell you that your content truly makes a meaningful difference in my life. 🩷 You’ve motivated me to take care of my teeth and go to the dentist a year ago, and I’m healing my relationship with food and fitness. Now I am testing waters with my side hustle. I feel like we’re on the same journey of healing perfectionism, which gives me daily motivation to keep going. Right now, I’m in a place in life that feels like a waiting season (currently in my mid-twenties, had to move back in with my parents, I’m working my 9-5, and I’m currently looking for an internship abroad. Plus, I live in a part of Europe where fall and winter are really cold and dark seasons) Lately, I’ve been re-watching your old videos and re-listening to your podcast during my daily walks. It always gives me comfort and a broader perspective, helping me stay on track and continue building a life on my own terms, step by step. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the work you do, especially in times like this! 🩷 I can’t wait to watch this video during my morning routine tomorrow! 🫶🏼 PS. Almost 2h??? Girl you are spoiling us!!!
Hey lil mama👋🏽 this was cathartic, impactful, uplifting!! Always here for the rants❤️ relatable! Sending prayers for healing 🙏🏽 Fatigue!! Raw, real…the journey! Great commentary. 💎💎 I’m just gonna do it for the freakin plot😂 loved that!!
0:02 Wait a secondddd! Jesus is that you? A full 1 hour and 45 mins! I feel like I’m in another dimension and I love it here! 😍🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾🥹🥳 Cheerssss to long form content!!! My nervous system is excitedddd!
I just wanna say I’m new here n i love it here also u were the cutest kid 🥺 and you’ve grown to a beautiful woman 😍 keep being you mama ur motivational
I was going to phone my gp. To get my anxiety meds switched. I’ve stopped taking them because i thought i was getting side effects. Only to realise i only get side effects like hallucinations, nightmares when my ptsd triggered. So now I’m actively going to start routines to ground myself. Make routine or give myself space so that other people narcissistic behaviour doesn’t trigger my ptsd.
Omg my naturopathic physician said colloidal copper Nutrinoche tasteslike water 💦 IBS constipation disappeared omg. I didn’t know what normal felt like. 🎄👩🎤💕🥑👩🎤when you wake up drink warm water asap under sunshine on your eyes. I cut cucumber and lemon and heat just to warm. 😂 sending healing energy. 🎸🎼👛🏋🏿♀️🎄🎄🎄
Aw girl seriously soooo refreshing to hear you share your experience 🥺 sending you so much love and I’m so happy those videos have been helping LOL 😂🤍 stress is definitely so huge and probably just as worse as managing the physical symptoms but the mediations have REALLY been helping!! Can’t wait for us to feel better 🤍
I have same type of hair. And pale skin (mixed). At school, a lot of children laughed about my hair. My own boyfriend can't stop saying "I prefer straight hair, you would be more beautiful"... 😂 I'm still learning to love my natural hair anyway ✨️
Respectfully I don’t approve of your bf because wtf 😭 I love you and you are beautiful and I hope you end up with people around you who don’t tell you that you would be more beautiful than your natural self 🤍 I’m proud of you for still learning to embrace your features though 🥰
Girl as a mixed person what you said is so REAL who cares how you identify fr 😭 everyone can tell you’re Black you don’t pass and if you did all well ALSO!!! Natural hair routine 😍
Not me saying out loud, yeah all of those fatigues... and then you saying immediately after "I see all these comments saying I'm suffering from all of those." 😂😂literally always on point.
Elicia love I have been watching your videos during my " bad " days since winter 2022- 2023 up until now trying to make my mental health better I started living slowly and all Guess what My mental health is like the one I had in 2009 I feel and am like a kid again Tr@um@ gone ,d@pr@ssion gone, p@nic att@cks gone, @cd gone I wanted to write this here to say that every shit we want is damn possible baybeee!!! People in here keeping wishing keep persisting even being laid back with your lifestyle can make a huge change One day you wake up and your wish has arrived ❤ And by the way :Do i feel perfect? no I feel some weakness and some instability cause I gave a fight for it but you know I never thought Id be okay again I thought that Id continue being this " complicated "and difficult to function or weird in my body
@ awww you are so welcome!! And honestly we will ALWAYS need people to support us on every phase of our journey and I’m glad that I’m a part of yours 🤍
Elicia, try adding some full fat coconut milk out of the can to the soup! It’s UNREAL. Will take it to the next level add a bit of sweetness and very filling. Also it’s a good healthy fat you could add to your oatmeal if you don’t like nut butters :)
I actually did use to make the soup with coconut milk and it was BOMB 😍 but also the cans are like 7$ here in Canada so I skipped out on it and just used a bit of milk this time 😂🤍 but good idea I actually have coconut butter that I forgot about so maybe I could add that into my oatmeal although I’m not really a coconut fan so maybe that will go very south😭🙏🏼 thanks babes!!!
@ I’m in Canada too, Vancouver! I know the cha’s brand is wild for single can.. idk if you know anyone with a Costco card but they have the 6pack of cha’s coconut milk for 13.99! Unreal. That’s where I get mine. I’m dairy free and low carb so I use it in smoothies etc to get my fat in. but yeah, if you’re not a coconut fan I understand LOL

I'm going through anxiety and depression lately Ellie and I need this
sending you so much love 🥺 this phase will pass- be patient 🤍🤍🤍
On the makeup part I think the ideal tone for a blush on your winter skin tone is a pretty peachy tone I’m so sure it would give such a nice touch
You are right! I have peach blush but I also don’t loveeee an orange tone so we’ll see how long I can pull this off 🥺🤍
I’m Puerto Rican but pale and born here. No matter where I am people assume I’m mixed. I’ve even gotten half Indian so I cane relate.
I absolutely LOVE that this is a movie length vlog❤❤
