Surprise - I'm back, y'all! 😊 I sure did miss you, and I'm excited to be back here making content for you. Here's what happened on my social media detox this summer and my complete guide to help you slow down YOURSELF: atozenlife.com/how-to-slow-down/
You definitely inspired me, a long-term subscriber...I am impressed that your family of four traveled abroad with just a few suitcases and I remembered I made a comment on wanting to minimizing mine into 4... Next Sunday I will be traveling to UK from HK with 2 suitcases, 1 40L backpack and a big handbag. The rest will be sent in 3 boxes and that's it...Thanks for your videos and stories. Please continue making videos. We love them
Yeay! 🥳 It's so nice to see your new video pop up on my notifications! Forget you? Never! You say such important things as you examine your experiences and share your observations and emotions. I'm glad you took a break and feel ready to do more! 💞💕💞
Hi Marissa! I so admire you for taking 3 months off. I’m sure I’d feel the same as you - scared! I’m so glad it worked out well for you. I was inspired by you as I had gotten very burnt out myself. So I decided to post every other week on RUclips. It was freeing! And our channel has not slowed down at all because of it. I’m much less stressed because I’m working fewer hours. This content creating gig can easily take up 60 hours a week if we let it.
You are soooo welcome back! It looks like you had a wonderful summer. Maybe it's more sustainable to take some breaks now and then, many youtubers feel the pressure to upload new content all the time. I'm so happy that you took time for yourself. :) Lots of love!
Welcome back. I'm in the process of refilling my cup right now. I'm glad you were able to take the break you needed. It's a great, timely reminder that we all deserve and need time to reconnect with ourselves and recharge.
Awwwwww you're back! I am SOOOOO happy to see your video! I've been reading your blogs and was going to message you asking when you'd return on YT! YAY!!! Welcome back, Marissa
So happy to see you back! Your open and clutterfree home inspired me to get rid of a piece of furniture that I thought I still needed...(I haven't missed it!). I'm glad you got some nice time off with your family.
Lovely to see you back and glad that you had time to recharge.😁 I have been. enjoying listen to your music playlist while decluttering my entire house! Looking forward to watch more of your helpful and inspiring videos.🤗
Never would we forget you ! You and Dawn, minimal mom, changed how i live which is with less stuff. I moved and i also gave away furniture-so now i have spaces like you in my home that are empty! My garage is near empty!! I have a memory cabinet like you and this is where all my memory stuff -photos etc is stored. I have memory bins but need to go through them one more time. I bought some fireproff with zipper document bags which have locks and shoulder handlers. I am going to try out of for a container of memory stuff for each one of my kiddos. So i moved from a space of 1400 square feet to 2630 home with high ceilings, but i do have more peace, less to take care of, less messes because i got rid of 70% of my things including clothes. Project 333 wahoo! I let go of a garage full of my mom’s things with you and appreciate your vulnerable moments as you let go of things that felt like your mom and dad. I get it. I couldn’t have done it without you! A to Zen - yes there is peace is minimalism. And, the joy of time created when you have less stuff to take care of! Thank you for coming back! ❤️❤️❤️Jenean
I missed you Marissa, happy to see you back! I enjoy watching your channel a lot, it’s about just living life, honest and relatable. I live in Vienna with my husband and son. We have changed 3 countries in the last 10 years too. Would be great to hear more about your experience in Berlin
You are glowing! You seem so content & blissful💗 The sun you caught & the dress… plus your hair is so long again! You just look healthy, gorgeous and full of life 💗🥰 So happy for you! (and for me that you are back🤩😂🙈😘)
I loved your presentation at the get organized summit. I have some of that "sentimental" clutter. I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom until my kids went to school but wish I could have had more time in the school years. Now it is almost retirement time and my husband and I are looking forward to spending more "me" time.
I didn't get a notification that you were back; I thought of you and went online to search and see if you'd returned yet. Ironically, you had just posted this video!!!! I just about hit the roof. I'm so happy you are back and that you took a break to take care of yourself. I've watched this video three times. Thank you:)
I have missed you so much! It is so good to see your beautiful face again and hear your wisdom!! I feel like a family member has returned from a long trip away.🥰
Oooohhhh! I was tickled pink when I saw the notification for your video! Welcome back!! Glad you and the family had time to decompress and be happy together!!!!
Hi, Marissa! I’m so glad to see you!! I’m so glad you’ve had fun this summer. How’s your husband’s work going? Did he get a new position somewhere? I can’t wait to see you again next week! Hugs!
Thanks for coming back!! I unsubscribed because I thought you had retired😢 but now you’re back so I’m back as a subscriber ❤ I enjoy your content so much and it’s helped me a lot. I also share it with my friends and family. I’m glad that you took the time you needed ❤
i like the ocean too... even tho i don't like being wet but just sit on the seashore and listen to the waves are very peaceful. ocean gives me this such a mystery energy but there are still a lot to discover
I was excited to watch your presentation on the GOHQ virtual conference. It was so good that I watched it 3 times!! I’m glad you had a rewarding break from RUclips. ❤
Glad your back! I see that the kids get close to the swans. be careful they do have a powerful beak. If you want to give them a treat please do not give bread, it is not good for them. Take a romaine head down and they will love it! peel it and give one at a time. Kids will get a kick out of that! I have geese, that is why I am just giving some friendly tips... Glad you got rested up. I kinda do the same thing every once in a while...
Welcome back!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Miss your videos… was still wondering when you will be back in action when I was decluttering my RUclips subscribe list recently. But decided to hang on to it coz I’m still hoping to see you in action again!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy to see you again! I also have to do a new decluttering of my kids clothes, the oldest is 6 years old and growing so fast! I would like a video where you share how you declutter and if there are clothes that you keep as memories ? Or do you simply get rid of all the clothes that no longer fit? Thanks in advance 😊
Me and my sister just discussed how relaxing and smart channel you have, so thank you for great content and welcome back! Please, don't ever feel you cannot take a break! People tend to feel guilty for their vacations, parental leave, or even illness... But other people don't judge you the same way you judge ourself, because - they are busy with their own lives and don't really notice you've been gone! They are still happy to have you back and see you are feeling well 🌹
Only four days ago I was thinking “wonder when A to Zen might come back.” Fantastic that here you are! You were missed. I’m looking so forward to seeing your new vids and I’m sending my congratulations that you took the time off. We all need to breathe and keep our lives fruitful. ❤

Marissa, what a surprise! I love your content, and have missed it so much. Glad to see you are posting again!
🎉. Yay Happy to see you again, Marissa!!
You' ve got a troll. Look under my earlier comment and remove pls. I did report it already
Yeay! 🥳 It's so nice to see your new video pop up on my notifications! Forget you? Never! You say such important things as you examine your experiences and share your observations and emotions. I'm glad you took a break and feel ready to do more! 💞💕💞
Thanks so much, Rachel 🤗
Going on a break was brave and I'm proud of you for putting you and your family first!
Thanks so much, it was definitely scary but well-needed 💪
I’m so happy you took that time for yourself and your family 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks, Maddie 🙌

That’s so good to hear, Sara! I saw that your son also started a channel, congratulations to him - you guys always impress me with your energy. 💪
You are soooo welcome back! It looks like you had a wonderful summer. Maybe it's more sustainable to take some breaks now and then, many youtubers feel the pressure to upload new content all the time. I'm so happy that you took time for yourself. :) Lots of love!
Yes, I think that might be wise. 🦉 I’m going to work on trying to find that right balance, as you said.
Welcome back. I'm in the process of refilling my cup right now. I'm glad you were able to take the break you needed. It's a great, timely reminder that we all deserve and need time to reconnect with ourselves and recharge.
So happy to see you back! I couldn’t click fast enough. :)
Love it 🤣
Awwwwww you're back! I am SOOOOO happy to see your video! I've been reading your blogs and was going to message you asking when you'd return on YT! YAY!!! Welcome back, Marissa

Same thoughts. So relaxing to watch and listen to her talk.
Only four days ago I was thinking “wonder when A to Zen might come back.” Fantastic that here you are! You were missed. I’m looking so forward to seeing your new vids and I’m sending my congratulations that you took the time off. We all need to breathe and keep our lives fruitful. ❤
