- Hello friends and fellow working mom warriors! I wasn't sure if I should actually post this video, but I share my life with you all and I wanted you to know how I've been feeling lately. There has been so much change in my life mostly because of the move, and I think it's finally caught up with me. I open up about my current struggles and how getting sick with the flu really put me in a bad place emotionally and physically. Thanks so much for being there for me, hearing me out, and supporting me. I can't express how grateful I am for this community! xo AF

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every person who has commented and shared their support, encouragement and kindness! I am overwhelmed with gratitude and have been tearing up reading all of the comments and shared experiences/emotions. I truly can't express how much this has meant to me! You've helped me feel comforted, validated for feeling this way, and not so alone since many of you have been in my shoes. I appreciate y'all so much and I'm incredibly grateful for this community of women we've created here on RUclips. ILYSM
💕💕💕💕
I am so sorry for you I feel just like you losing a family member or a friend also moving that will be frustrating for anyone that could relate that you’re struggling with I am there for you I could relate to your struggling with passing and Moving different places that could be difficult for anyone like you I am glad to hear your story what’s bothering you I am there you and you are there for me I hope you’re children is healthy now
As a nurse practitioner, I can tell you all these feelings you're having with your recent stressors are 100% normal. (See Holmes and Rahe stress scale). Moves of all kinds are extremely stressful and hard on our health and bodies. It's especially challenging on those of us who have a preference for perfectionism. I love your realness and you are doing great! Keep going!! 💚💚
Thank you so much for sharing and for the support! Definitely makes all these emotions feel valid/make sense! ♥️🙏🏻
Do not feel stupid or apologize! You’ve had so much going on - moving, the holidays, work, kids, life, getting sick, hubs out of town etc… give yourself grace mama. ❤ And I know exactly what you’re referring to about the wedding day comparison. The new house might not actually feel like your home yet, but it will. Give it time. As soon as you’re feeling better you can start your normal routine again. You’ll start feeling like yourself and your house will become your HOME ❤. It’s good to cry and let it out. We’re here for you! 😊
Thank you 🥹♥️
Crying and letting things out is so healthy and a release and I'm so glad you let us into your emotions, they're so relatable and normal, sometimes that's what our bodies need and the mind follows and it's important to remember that the way you feel in that moment is temporary and you'll feel yourself again soon ❤❤❤
You’re so right and it felt so good to get it all out! I truly appreciate your support and comforting words ♥️♥️
I feel like with all the holidays, moving, kids, adjusting, birthdays coming up. It’s all been overwhelming. Now that you are just settling in and having time to sit and think about all the hectic things you’ve been through it’s hitting you all at once. I honestly thank you for sharing..I struggle with mental health sometimes and your videos are the most relatable. You should take a self care day, slow down, and just think about all you’ve accomplished thus far. ❤❤
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means so much to me that we can connect on these experiences and we’re not alone! Sending hugs ♥️🫶🏻
Thank you for being so real. Watching this video had me tears and has helped me so much especially not feel so alone. I recently was sick for about 2 weeks and still feel like I'm trying to pick up the pieces and find a routine again. I too have felt like a bad mum. It feels like it's just been one thing after another to deal with and I'm just trying to take it one day at time. I'm praying for you and your family, hoping things get better soon. ❤
Thank you so much 🥹♥️ sending you hugs!
I just want to give you a hug. You are wonderful, Amanda and so, so LOVED. You are just having a "season". Thank you for being so vulnerable with your emotions. My husband and I recently lost our baby via surrogacy. It was such a hype leading up to it all for it to be a very hard and emotional let down. I was in a funk for about 2 months. Got really sick. Went to the dr and had bloodwork, but all came back normal, but I felt something was "off". Your emotions strongly affect your physical health and that's what happened to me. Reserve some time just to cry - it makes you feel so much better (sometimes I will go into my closet and cry on the floor and then come back out and get back to it) and remember to give yourself GRACE on those days you aren't "yourself". I have also found that little children love to care for their moms, so talk with your babies about some of these emotions and ask them if they have any emotions they want to share with you. I do this with my daughter and it's such a special time. LOVE and TIGHT HUGS from Anna, Texas 💗
I’m so sorry that you went through all of that 😢 that’s such sweet advice about talking to my kids about the emotions - I never thought to do that but can definitely tell that they are sensitive. My son would constantly bring me water and ask if I was feeling happier. Thanks so much for being there for me ♥️🥹
You already did a great job with full time work, taking care of kids, and the family. You rock!
Thank you!! ♥️♥️
Dear Amanda, I am sending to you a lot of positive energy. Moving, with the amount of stress is comparable with experiencing loss of someone who you loved whole life. It will fade away gradually. You put so much energy in rising your kids, working, home and of course your videos. Every single word you shared is make so much sense to me. I can understand that. Don't feel bad for sharing this. This is real life whichi is hard sometimes even if your essential needs satisfied. Thank you for sharing, wish you and kids fast recovery.
Thank you so much for understanding and sharing your kindness and support! Truly means so much to me ♥️♥️
Sending you a virtual hug, Amanda! So much falls to mommas and when we are sick sometimes it feels like our lives are crumbling. You are so strong and crying is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to your resilience. It's okay to have moments of vulnerability; they remind us that we're human and that it's okay to ask for help. Remember, taking care of yourself is not just important, it's necessary. So take a moment, breathe, and know that you're not alone. This community is here for you, cheering you on and sending love your way. Keep shining, Amanda, your strength is inspiring.
Good morning Amanda, I'm so sorry you went through such a difficult time. I hope you're starting to feel better! Thanks for being so transparent with us. We have all been there at one point, and you will get through this! Big hugs!
Thank you so much! 🥹♥️
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling this way! I 100% can relate and allllll of your feelings - every single one - are valid! I hope you continue to feel better and feel back to yourself soon ❤
Thank you ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this, Amanda. It was very brave and honest and it helped me a LOT. I've also moved recently and I'm struggling with depression right now. I'm taking every insight I had from watching this video and taking it to my therapist. Thank you VERY MUCH!! You are amazing!!
🥰🙏
Thank you! Sending you big hugs and positive vibes ♥️♥️
My daughter and I currently have that flu/virus/sickness that you guys had and it is no joke! I’ve felt the same way.. like a lazy failure for not getting my normal stuff done. Just give yourself grace as you get back in a routine.. think progress over perfection because it is SO hard to got from 0-100 again but small steps to get there(like habit stacking) will help so much! Prayers for health and healing over you and your family!
Thank you 🥹♥️🙏🏻 hope y’all are feeling better!!
Thank you for sharing your raw and emotional journey, Amanda. It takes immense courage to open up about our struggles, and it's a testament to your strength. We're here to support you through the ups and downs of life. Your authenticity is appreciated, and your community is here for you. 💕 Sending lots of love your way!
Thank you so much for the sweet words and support! ♥️🥹
Hey Amanda, I have been watching you for a while now and I am so motivated to see you do what you do every day. Please dont feel embarrassed with the emotions you show coz thats what makes us human. Somewhere its the logical end of a beautiful journey and makes complete sense. Please take some time out everyday to process this. I am someone who has moved countries and have felt all that you are going through but I promise it gets better with time.Loads of love ❤
Sending you lots of love. You have a lot going on right now, so you're bound to feel that way. Take time our for yourself where you can, ask for help, pray for strength, and think about when everything will be over x
We appreciate you sharing your feelings with us. I feel that moving from one place of residence to another during the holidays, especially Christmas, is A LOT! It takes time and sense of enjoyment away from enjoying the holidays. All the energy went towards to the move of your beautiful new home! It is okay to feel this way ❤ Do not feel silly when you are doing something that you enjoy, such as editing your RUclips videos! We have to do the things we love, we have one life to live! Do what makes you happy 😊 I would like to suggest that this year and moving forward that you practice slow-living and mindfulness to help ease this fast-paced world we live in. I have been doing that and I feel life is simpler and slower. You are inspirational in your routines, exercising, cleaning, working, and taking care of your family 😊
Hi ! Amanda you got this girl !
Remember it’s ok not to be okay.
You are strong women and you’re not alone we are here to support you.
❤❤❤
You’re so right! Thank you so much for the support ♥️♥️
It’s completely understandable for you to feel the way you do. Hope you are taking care of yourself and feeling better! Thank you for your videos! You are very inspirational and I appreciate the realness!
We moved just 5 miles down the road and I felt the same way. You don’t have time to feel the big feelings in the moment because there is so much going on. Plus now you have to rethink things you didn’t think about before (daycare situations, schools, etc). Don’t be sorry!! Feel your feelings and know it’s normal. It will all work out and still be wonderful. Have a great week! ❤
Thank you 🥹♥️
You got this Amanda, take this time for your mental health and physical health. Give yourself some grace. 💗 I love your content, you are truly inspiring. I love this video ! I appreciate you being transparent.
Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate the support and advice ♥️♥️
❤ so happy to hear your cry felt good and released some emotions! I wanted to hug you 😊 give yourself and your kids lots of grace, you will get back into the swing of things, just take your time. Lots of good vibes from Germany! ❤❤
Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️
Yes to everything else everyone has said! Don’t apologize, we’re all here to support you; besides, we’re all basically besties! Give yourself permission to grieve your previous home/chapter. It’s totally normal to be both happy and sad at the same time! Thank you for trusting us with sharing your feelings and know we’re all here for you. Sending you lots of love and a big huh from California!!
Thank you for sharing this. It’s so relatable! As a full time working mom to a 16 month old, I’ve also felt the stress of balancing it all. I had a particularly stressful day last week and broke out in hives all over my body for two days. 😳 Its always comforting to see other parents sharing their experiences too; thank you for sharing!
you’re not alone mama! Sending you hugs and positive vibes! We got this! ♥️♥️
I love watching your videos and can relate to the season of life you are currently in. It's great to see another full time work from home mom juggling work, home, kids, all the things! Thank you for sharing and being so open.
Thank you so much! It’s really comforting knowing that I’m not alone and it’s just plain hard sometimes!! ♥️♥️
Thank you for always being honest. You are such an inspiration and everyone goes through hard seasons. Sending you positive vibes and hugs your way!❤
Thank you so much!
I am with you 💯! I have been feeling like you and sick also! Health is everything! Hope you feel better, crying always helps me out! It takes me like 3-4 days to kind of feel myself again. Keep your head up and give your self some grace! It’s okay to feel all the feelings when there is change. Many emotions come up…
Thank you so much! It’s so nice to know I’m not alone in this and that crying is actually helpful! I truly appreciate your sweet comment and support ♥️♥️
You are young and healthy. Give yourself some grace. We all get run down and sick.
I find when I’m in a rut- making a list of tasks I know I can achieve each day helps. That way you can mark it off the list. I’m a list maker so checking things off that I’ve completed makes me feel accomplished.
You got this girl!
That’s so helpful! Thank you!! ♥️
I can relate so much to you Amanda, I truly think that something has been in the air because I’ve been feeling off, too. Sending you a big hug and hope that you’re feeling back to your fierce self! 🩷
Thank you! Hugs right back atcha 🤗🩷
I can definitely understand how you are feeling. We still live in our first home we bought.. also was a new build 15 years ago when we bought and I feel like I would feel the same way you feel if we were to ever move from here. We have so many memories in this home and we've renovated and redecorated so much in here over time that I think I would be so sad to leave. Just take your time and adjust ... even if you have to take time off vlogging for a while, do what you have to do to help with the adjustment. Moving on top of being sick and you had gone away on a trip just before... it is exciting but it is also a lot for one to handle. I think over time you will start to feel better. I feel like leaving one's first purchased home is hard. I hope you start to feel like yourself again soon, Amanda. You are such a strong and amazing person ... I have no doubt that you will! Sending prayers to you and the family! ❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much! Your support and encouragement means so much to me! I appreciate you being here ♥️🥹🙏🏻
I can totally relate. I’m sorry you’re struggling and hope you’re feeling better now.
Thank you! Feeling much better 😊
❤❤Amanda I just love how open you are. I can definitely relate to you and what you have gone through. I got really sick last year and I missed a whole month of work. It was the hardest time of my life and life kept happening at the same time. To cope with moments like that I normally eat a lot and binge watch shows at night to just clear my head however I have learned the value of speaking out my feeling to myself and record on my phone. It helps me process what is happening and how I feel. I’m like you and not a big fan of talking to my friends like I use to about my problems. A good cry like you said is helpful. Also journaling is a great method too. It’s okay as we are only human. Big hugs for you. Keep on pushing. You are appreciated ❤
Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear that but glad to know you you’re managing your feelings in healthy ways like journaling! Thank you ♥️
Amanda thank you for sharing your story. Don’t ever apologize for feeling your emotions and wanting to connect with us. We love you and want you well. I am glad Pete’s back now you can focus more on yourself. You are a special person ❤ I’m so sorry you’ve had a rough time the last couple weeks. I am praying it gets better. Love you so much girlie wish I could give you a big hug. ❤
Thank you so much! 🥹🥹 means the world to me that I can share with y’all and you’ve been so supportive helping me through the tough times! Ilysm 🫶🏻
Sending hugs and prayers your way ❤. I totally understand where you’re coming from. I went through a lot of this last year, and I wish I had a better answer for you. It sounds like you just need more time for yourself. I know that’s tricky with little ones and other obligations life throws at us. Honestly, what seemed to help me was learning to say no to more things. I am such a people pleaser and never want to disappoint anyone, but at the end of the day us mamas can’t pour from an empty cup. Hang in there, this difficult season will pass 🤗.
Thank you so much for the support and the advice on saying no to more things! You’re absolutely right that we can’t pour from an empty cup! I truly appreciate you…take care mama! ♥️♥️
Aw Amanda , I send you a big hug 🤗 don’t feel bad we all relate to you believe me. I have been there and it’s terrible. Everything will be ok you will see give yourself a break.
Thank you ♥️
Awe sweet friend. I’m sorry you’ve been sick and feeling overwhelmed. Thank you for being real and open. You’ll find your new routine and we’ll be here cheering you on ❤
Thank you so much!
Awww haven’t gotten past you talking about your emotions but I’m feeling for you.. commend you for sharing raw and very relatable emotions that most would be too proud to share. I TOTALLY understand and just know it will pass. Feel it, know it’s okay to feel that way.. don’t dwell too long, do things you enjoy and I promise you, you will feel better. It was a quicker move and you went through a lot. It’s okay to NOT be okay all the time and to feel all of what you’re feeling and still feel grateful. You’ll be okay. Sending a big HUG 🤗
Thank you so much for the support and advice about not dwelling and not being okay right now ♥️♥️ thank you for the hug! 🤗
Thank you for being vulnerable. It made complete sense what you told. 🤗 It will take time, but you have to proces it and it looks like that you are doing a great job 🙂
Thank you so much!! ♥️🤗
100% relate, it's so easy to get wrapped up in every day life as a mom and wife and then one day it feels like a train hit you. I'm hoping you get out of this funk and feel like yourself soon, but you're definitely not alone in this feeling. Keep your friends close and vent because I'm sure they can relate as well❤
100%!! Thank you so much for the support, truly appreciate you! ♥️♥️
I can totally relate. It will get better and you will get back to your normal routine, just give it some time. Love how honest and open you are , thank you for all of your content! The quote that helped me was this “ everything will be ok at the end, if it’s not ok, then it’s not the end” ! ❤
I love that! Thank you 🥹
Hi Amanda, I came across your channel when I myself had gone through a big move. All I can say is I relate to you 100000%. I also work from home, full time employee, full time mom and full time fire wife. I personally have my cry it out moments 2-3 per wk. it sounds extreme but this is how I personally cope. Give yourself a break 😊 I think you are doing a phenomenal job!! Hugs!! -Thania from Cypress, TX
Thank you! Hugs to you too mama! We do so much and need to take time for ourselves to go through the emotions and just breathe! ♥️♥️
I cried with you watching this. I am a mama of 3 and work FT remotely and my husband works FT and we have such a busy life. Women you are goals and watching you has made me want to pay more attention to my health and be more productive. I appreciate you sharing why we are seeing less of you! Take the time you need and put your health first! We will be ready to watch as soon as your ready to post again ❤❤❤
I love this, thank you so much for the love and support ♥️♥️
I am not even a stay at home mom, but I can definitely understand you. Please never apologize for what you are feeling. You are a beautiful and strong momma, trying to keep it all together. Sometimes it is okay, if you don't feel like having it all together. You are human. Keep the faith and keep moving forward doing the things that you love and enjoy. It will get better. A good cry from time to time, helps clear the soul. I enjoy your videos so much. You are genuine and very caring. I am cheering you on!!!!!
Thank you so much!! The support and encouragement mean the world to me ♥️♥️
Hi Amanda, i just want to wrap my arms around you and give you a hug, i totally understand how you feel. As much as you love to move into your dream home, you have been through alot of stresses to get there, and its hard on our bodies simply just hard. Never feel stupid about your feelings, its really good to open up we are all human. Its healthy for you to let it all out. I want you remember that women tend to go through much more in life than a man, alot of the responsibilities tend to fall in our laps. You are such a beautiful person you will get through this.
You’re so right! Thank you so much for the support 🥹♥️
I completely understand how you feel...no need to apologize. I even feel that way when I make a change to the house that I wanted, I feel myself missing the old ugh, and feeling sad. Don't be so hard on yourself...things will also get back to normal❤
Hi Amanda, sending prayers and healthy vibes! ❤ I was ill pretty much all last week, feel back to normal now, finally! Back to exercising, I know how you feel. My son didn't go to school due to high temperature for a couple of days. Something is going around ...this time of year...horrible 😫.
Always look forward to your vlogs, you're amazing and great inspiration!! Been a subscriber for a few months now. Lots of love from London, UK 💕
P.S. Well done with the house and the whole move! It looks amazing, hope you have a lovely life there and create lots of lovely memories xx
Thank you ♥️♥️
I know exactly what you’ve been going through, it’s an emotional rollecoaster during and after big changes. Sending hugs!❤
💯!!
Hang in there Amanda! Change is hard sometimes but it’s always for the best. We love you girl!!!! Sending positive vibes
Thank you!! Sending hugs 🤗♥️
It is definitely NOT STUPID to cry about anything that you feel so strongly about! I can relate to this video so much! Just know that you are exactly where you need to be and you will be where you want to be. It is so hard to hear that but just keeping trusting the process. Rest when you need to, cry when you need to, and it will most definitely work out. This is therapeutic.
Thank you so much for the encouragement, truly means the world to me ♥️♥️
@@Amanda_Fadul my pleasure to have been any sort of help! 🙏🏾
Thank you for these raw talks. We all have those moments, you’re not alone.
Praying the Lord continues to give you strength, especially in those hard moments! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! ♥️🙏🏻
Hang in there sis ♥️ you have been through so much these past months and you are a mama, a wife, you work a full time job. You are a super woman but we all need to lay down our capes sometimes and take a breath. If you haven’t already, maybe schedule some extra self-care, whatever that looks like for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏾
Thank you so much!! ♥️🙏🏻
My heart goes out to you Amanda! I’ve lived in three continents and never felt stress like I did when we moved from
One city to another 3 years ago- it really knocked me! Your video brought back some memories from that move. Thank you for your honesty ❤
Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️
Sending lots of love n positive thoughts your way.
I have been going through it too. Single mom raising 2 kids and been unemployed for over 6 months. It has been hard.
Don’t apologize for what you going through and what you are feeling.
Sharing helps others connect with you.
Thank you so much! Sending you hugs and support as well…you’re a hero and things will get better! ♥️♥️
God bless you! I don’t know how you handled all of that essentially on your own! You are a hard working, wonderful mom!!! You are just exhausted!!
Thank you so much!
I've definitely had those feelings having made multiple moves, including from my first real home with my husband where I brought my first baby! It's so hard when you don't have space to really take the time to process because you've got so many responsibilities! My heart goes out to you, girl - but know you're not stupid for any of these very valid feelings. Today was so hard for me and I was so excited to see you had uploaded and that these are things I've definitely felt myself. Sending love and light and prayer your way for you to feel settled and at peace with those sweet kids.
Thank you so much for the support! It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone and my feelings are valid! Take care and I truly appreciate your comment 🩷🩷
Oh cool
Your in Texas im also in Texas. We did the same thing we moved from California to Texas we had no families here too and i totally see what your going through i still feel so sad and its hard being alone
Hi Amanda, I’m praying for your strength. Give yourself grace and take one day and moment at a time. I can tell you’re an amazing mom❤, try not to be so hard on yourself. Thanks for sharing and just know that you’re not alone and that we all have these times and don’t apologize for having normal human feelings. By the way I’m a new subscriber and I love your videos, they are very motivating😊
Thank you so much for the sweet comment and support! Appreciate you being here ♥️♥️
I completely understand how you feel. we are still in our first home and will buy our next one in the next few years, but I already know that it will be such a bittersweet feeling leaving our first home. Our oldest was only a few months old when we moved in and we brought our 2nd home in that house. we grew our careers and made so many memories. I get emotional thinking about it, but I have to keep telling myself that when the time comes I will need to thank the house for serving its purpose and be thankful for the ability to move to the next chapter. you got this!
Winters can be so hard especially with the sick season. There have been some brutal flu and colds viruses this year. And yes I bet the move had your immune even lower. But so glad you had such perspective on it all! You are such a good mom, wife, employee, team player…hope you are enjoying being back on top of life and finding routines! ♥️
Totally agree! Thank you so much for your encouraging words 🩷🩷
So glad you shared the hard not just the good- just getting over the holidays is enough- I can't imagine adding a move and then an awful illness...poor baby!!! Hugs to you .
Thank you sm ♥️♥️
Sending love from the UK. Our household has also been hit hard with flu and a stomach bug. Working full time and having two kids under 3... the juggle can be enormous at times. Nothing wrong with a good cry ❤ hope your all feeling better soon x
I’m so sorry you felt this way. Us moms go thru so much and have a lot of responsibility.. WE are the ones that truly run the house. Head up momma. You got this. Hugs from Arlington TX 🫶🏼
Thank you ♥️♥️ needed to hear this 🙏🏻
Working mom here 🙋♀️ and I love your videos! Last year, we moved as well, and our story is very similar… moved out of our first house (new build too) and into a bigger one. I grieved the former house, which I did not expect, and even though the new house is “better” than the first, I still missed the old house and felt as if I was grieving it and that chapter it represented. Like you, I’m not a big crier, but I cried a lot after our move, and the emotional release really helped. Cry as often as you feel you need to. Trust me it helps you move on and gives you more strength when you’re done. Also, I’ve had to realize that settling into a new house and establishing a new routine takes time - a lot longer than you expect - and I’ve had to learn to be ok with that and trust that a routine will happen. You will get back into your routine, and it will be stronger than ever. You will also have increased gratitude for your routine, and you’ll be better able to protect it from derailing again. At least that’s what happened for me now that we’re about 9 months out from the move. (I was also 6 weeks postpartum with my second when we moved, so it took me awhile to get a routine back. I’m sure it’ll be much quicker than that for you😊) keep your head up girl. You are doing an amazing job.
👏🏻 All of this ♥️♥️ thank you so much!
I want to give you a hug because I can relate and I decided to take it easy and slow this year because I have been overwhelmed so take it easy Amanda ❤
Thank you ♥️♥️ I need to do the same and take it easy 🙏🏻
Sending healing vibes. Your feelings are important and all this is completely ok to feel. Thanks for sharing
I feel you.. hope u feel better.. thanks for this realistic video. I can totally relate to you. Ur a grt mom n a great individual. U inspire many women n I liked ur honesty.❤❤❤❤
Girl… nobody can be that person 24/7. All your feelings are so valid! Just let yourself feel the feels and get it out. It plain just sucks when you go through what you are feeling. Crying is sooo cathartic! You are a great mom, even when you are sick ❤
Thank you 🥹♥️
I have been sick for about a month now. It started the day after Christmas, and I have had this same moment that you're having now. You are not alone my friend. I was so upset about ending the new year down and going into the new year down. I'm much better now, but I had to give myself some grace. I had taken my time and just focused on me. I did the minimum in every other area including work and focus on my wellbeing. When I started feeling better, I revisited my plans, goals, and created a new schedule. I do what I can and push what I can't to the next day. I feel better mentally while I'm not 100% just yet. It's okay to feel as you feel. You feel this way now, but it won't stay like this. You will get back there because there was so much going on. Focus on your wellbeing because if you're not your best, you can't give your loved ones your best. Trust me, these are things I had to tell myself. It's so hard for those of us who do ALOT. Sometimes, we need some attention and a moment. You will be fine because that's just you. Sending hugs and encouragement. 😍
Aw I hear you! I’m so glad you’re feeling better and took time for yourself…I’m going to do that as well! Stay strong and thanks so much for the kind words and support ♥️♥️
Dearest Amanda ❤
You're doing a great job as a Mom, a career woman, in home management skills...girl you rock!! And congratulations for your new house 😊❤ And always remember, there are women out there who look up to you...'cause you give them hope ❤ Love you Queen ❤
P.s. you're not stupid for crying. You're so brave..I wish I could be there for you❤ You have my full support 👍❤️
Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️
You’ve been go go go and you deserve some much needed rest ❤ hoping that you get some rest soon or that settling into routines again give you that feeling of rest ❤ hope you get to feeling better soon!
Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️
Nothing about your feelings is stupid. I feel you and you're awesome for being authentic an real about what you've been through 🤗 ❤
I went through the same emotions when we moved into our second home! I was so stressed after and leaving all those memories behind. We’ve been in our new home for almost two years building new memories ❤❤ you are not alone! This made me tear up because I completely understand. My husband didn’t go through these emotions and I felt alone, like I couldn’t be as excited. 😢
Things have been insane! I returned to work from Maternity leave mid January and it’s busy season. My newborn and toddler are home with me while I work. My big kids have been passing the ick around… I appreciate your raw truth 💕🥹
Even in India, we had to go through the same thing. We were all sick for more than 10 days and I exactly felt the same as you. You motivate me to work more and you're doing a great job! Get well soon.
Everything will be ok. Stay strong ❤
Big comforting hugs to you mama. I was in your position recently - massive few months since December 2023, I think I was hit with the flu (worst week and a bit ever!) I had to take time off work, my school aged son was sick, my toddler was full of beans and luckily didn’t get sick,husband busy with work, mental health was sh*t, and sadly sometimes we just have to soldier on through it all and juggle everything. I didn’t feel myself either for a few weeks and felt defeated. Sometimes a good cry ( a mini mental breakdown I call it lol) really helps.
No advice, just know that you’re not alone when these downer moments happen.
you bring us all joy ,its ok to be you ,that's what we all love ! love from ny !!
Thank you ♥️♥️
I always think in stressful situations my adrenalin kicks in, moving is one of those. But because of that, it means the emotions will come. Not in the moment, but as everything shifts back after the big thing, that's when it all hits. Something random sets me off and it's just an amalgamation of everything I went through. I feel you!
100% with you on this!! 👏🏻♥️
Hi Amanda, I wish I was there to give you a hug, you are only human and all these feelings you are feeling it’s totally normal, don’t feel sorry, it’s ok to vent and cry, sometimes it’s very well necessary and we are here to listen 😊
Sending you and your family prayers and love and soon enough you will all be great. Love your videos as usual ❤
Thank you so much! 🥹♥️
Hey lovely it is totally normal what you are feeling. Take your time to process things take a break ❤ this is not annoying or stupid at all that you are crying. So glad you are so transparent and are able to share. What worked out for me when I moved into my second house was spending more time like calm time with it don’t know if that makes sense 😊😊. I used to relax and sit and read in the backyard ❤ feel it all take it in that this is a dream home that I created :) I totally understand that change is hard but promise you will get there ❤❤❤
Thank you! Love the idea of calm time ♥️
Aw Amanda. This is very relatable. I know exactly what you mean. Many times we just need to enjoy the process of the life we live in, and sometimes there is just no time to do that and life just seems to fly us by. Its almost like "adulting", most people including my self didn't spend enough time enjoying their youthful days and just cant wait to grow up, untill we grow up and start missing the past and what we could have done with our past.
You’re so right!! It’s hard to live in the moment! Often I’ve looked back and been like wow I never realized I was living “the good ole days” (like in my 20s when life was simpler with less responsibilities outside of myself) until they were over!
@@Amanda_Fadul Yes. Now i just try my best to enjoy the moment and not rush anything, because what we have in the present is a gift already :)
It’s emotional because you have your babies now! It was a place they’ve always known and a constant you had in your life beinging both babies home in that house. This is a fresh start. It will take time mama ❤
Thank you ♥️🙏🏻 time will heal all!
I get like this each time I move. I think it’s normal to mourn and acknowledge that part of your life is over. It sounds like you just need to process and you will be okay! You’re definitely not alone.
I also have moved over 2,000 miles twice for a move. So I get it.
Thank you 🩷
Girl when I tell you I can relate I literally just broke down to my therapist this morning for the exact same thing (minus the move) my daughter got Covid from daycare then we all got it and I had to miss a client trip to NYC and then finally thought our routine would be back this week (your videos inspired me to get a great WFM mom routine in place) and my daughter gets super sick again had to go to urgent care and I just felt like damn can we get a break? Also a fellow Texas mom that also moved here from out of state and we’re the same age and we are both marketing managers or have been in marketing for a long time. I swear we might be soul sistahs. Thanks for being honest raw and real girl!
Hey Amanda. I have to share this with you. For some reason I have had you on my mind and in my prayers for over the last 3 weeks. It's so strange (especially because we have never met), but something in my spirit is asking me to share with you to consider RUclips to be your job, bring your children home and leave your marketing job. SO STRANGE. I think God is asking me to share this with you because I know how much you love and value your marketing position.
As a side note, you are amazing and we LOVE you!! You are such an inspiration. I hope you are doing well. Big hugs from North Carolina. xoxo
You’re so sweet, thank you so much for sharing this with me! I almost cried reading it…I would love to leave my job, focus on RUclips and be with my children more! I pray about that often and it’s almost like a sign that God may be leading me there. Thank you so much for the support, prayers and kindness!! ♥️♥️
Defo step out in faith if you feel called to after praying and fasting, Amanda. You'll be able to put out more content when you leave xx @@Amanda_Fadul
Thank you for your vulnerability!❤ I have moved from Midwest to Jersey and back to Midwest and I totally understand what you are feeling and I think it’s completely normal!
I’m an athlete and I train long hard hours for my big race and I almost always get the post race blues!
Hang in there! Covid is currently running through 3/5 of us so far this week.🤦♀️
Thank you! This makes me feel so much more validating for feeling the way I do! I hope you and your family feel better!! ♥️🙏🏻
A good cry always helps Amanda! I hope you get some time for yourself soon! Your doing well mama ❤
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
First - your new home is beautiful! Moving is so stressful. Glad it helped to vent! Hope all is better!
Thank you, it’s so comforting knowing I’m not alone and have so much support from you and others in this community! ♥️♥️
Thank you!! It’s so nice having the support from you and others here ♥️♥️
From one exhausted Mum to you, be kind to yourself. You have been through a lot to be fair. I totally need my routine and rituals every day or I feel like a mess as well.
A good cry is always very helpful. ❤
I felt like I was in a big rut last year and was really down a lot. I ended up having really low iron. After an infusion I felt like a human again.
Wow maybe I need to get myself checked! Glad to know you feel better now! Thank you for the sweet comment ♥️
It takes a while for a new home to feel like “home.” It will take time. The same thing happened to me. Also, working, being sick and taking care of kids plus moving is a lot! You’re so strong. Go easy on yourself. I’m the same way so I get it! Last week I was sick and it was hard to relax in between taking care of kids and feeling stressed that I couldn’t work. My son then got it a few days later. Hope you feel 100 percent soon ❤
Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏻
First off, I felt the same way when we moved. Second, your house looks amazing for all of this to have been going on. Give yourself some credit/grace! ❤
Thank you so much!! ♥️
Hi Amanda! I'm also from New Jersey and living in Missouri with my husband and kids. It's tough to balance everything with family so far away. I imagine that's part of the stress too.
So true! ♥️♥️
Nobody talks about what an emotional adjustment it is to move!! It feels wonderful, exciting, but can also feel so weird and make you feel so out of place at the same time. It took me a full year to feel like my new home was actually HOME. And our first year in our new house was the sickest we’ve ever been - and I know it was the stress of moving!! Even though was a good thing! Sounds like you had influenza A. Take care of you, allow yourself to feel all the feels, and take some vitamins. 😊 love your vlogs!
Thank you!! ♥️♥️
I see you and I hear you. I don’t think there’s a woman out there who hasn’t gone through everything you’re experiencing. The feelings you share are all 100% validated.
I appreciate your vulnerability. The good thing is you recognize and you’re talking about it.
Take care of yourself. You’re so loved.
Thank you, this means a lot and makes me feel so comforted and validated in my feelings ♥️♥️
Hi Amanda, new subscriber. Thanks for sharing your daily vlogs. I’m a mother of 5 kids (ages 14, 11, 5, 3, and 1) working Full time at home, and started Nursing school full time remotely too. I recently started a vlog channel and love finding other women similar to me to inspire me. Thanks for being one of those women. Stay strong, emotions and letting them out is healthy. Never apologize for it.
Thank you so much and I hope you have so much success as you go through nursing school and with vlogging! You seem like an amazing mother and woman…keep up the great job! ♥️♥️
All your feelings are normal! You had the new home build, old home sale, holidays, traveling, packing, moving, working, getting settled, and now trying to figure out next steps as far as the kids school and the new neighborhood and your adrenaline is finally coming down and you have time to process all that has happened. Allow those tears to flow, take deep breaths and take care of you. You all accomplished a lot within a few short months. When you’re a goal oriented person and you finally accomplish your goals it feels WEIRD. But this is a good feeling because you all are about to create so many more amazing memories in your new home. You’ll start to create new goals and new dreams and continue being the amazing woman, mom and wife that you are ❤ ((HUGS))
This!! Thank you so much! You’ve really made me feel so validated and comforted! Truly appreciate your support and for taking the time to hear me out and share ♥️♥️
I totally get this feeling! It happened to me when we bought a new car. We had a vehicle that we wanted to sell so we can upgrade to a new car. During the process we’re really okay letting go of it. But when we finally sold it and bought the new car, I just found myself crying because I am missing that old vehicle. It was our first, we had lots of memories with it and it kept us safe in literally every ride! Your feelings is valid! 💕
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that two things are true, you are extremely grateful for the new home and you also are grieving the losing of the old home/ memories and that is ok. Both are true. Give yourself the space and grace to experience both the joy and sadness because both experiences are real. You got this!
100%! Thank you for the sweet comment ♥️♥️
Praying that you are having a better week this week, friend ❤
Thank you! ♥️♥️
