It’s Okay to Not Be Okay This Thanksgiving – Prioritize You
Welcome back to Brittany Unfolding. Happy Thanksgiving. I want to remind you: it’s okay to not be okay. Holidays can bring up a whirlwind of emotions, and sometimes they’re not as picture-perfect as we hope. Whether you’re navigating grief, loneliness, or just feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to give yourself grace and take care of YOU.
In this video, I’m sharing tips on setting healthy boundaries, finding small moments of gratitude, and embracing self-care during the holiday season. My prayer for you today is that even the tiniest glimmers of light can carry you through. Remember, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to prioritize your well-being.

Welcome to Brittany Unfolding! My Journey of Self-Discovery Begins Here
I’ve really understood how to sit in not being OK. While it does feel uncomfortable the fact that I’d keep on pressing, when I look back I’m so much better for it. My glimmer for today was sitting in the knowledge that I’m not the best BBQ cook I know anymore, but my bestie has surpassed me. 😊
You have to keep pressing! Now about this glimmer, I’m still sad that I couldn’t view this work of art
🗣️🗣️🗣️
I am so thankful for you in my life as we travel this road together. We all have a Lot to thank God for not only today but everyday. Show your people you love them everyday and always give thanks to God. Life is so different for us but we are still grateful Love you Dear Just the 2 of us♥️♥️♥️
@@BobbieFigaro I love you Mom. I’m so grateful for you. You have been my glimmer.
It's rare to find friends like you who are ready and willing to go all out to help.
Wisdom, because so many times people just want to vent and not looking for you to fix a problem just to listen and hear them out. I am the type of Friend who will listen, pray for you and let you know I am there for you if you need anything That I can help with.
You are right about it! You are definitely the supportive friend!
Good advice
Thank you!
Yes and Yes. All of this! Everyone needs at least 1 person.
Oh yes we do!
Getting thru the holidays can really be rough when you are missing that someone or someones at the table. May we all look back and cherish the sweet memories of our loved ones though. We still have a lot to be thankful for and yes take care of self so you can be a blessing to others Love you Dear and thanks for these words of encouragement Love you- just the 2 of US♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love you Mom! We will make it through
My circle is small but I definitely value them.
@@gabrielleward7428 I've learned to value them no matter the size. I had to take my focus on how many people and appreciate the good ones I had.
That is a safe place to be with safe people and it does not have to be a large number in your community. Please let your safe people know you value them while you can. I remember those young years and how much you loved those gatherings and fellowships. I truly value the friends I have. You made this look so easy because it is so dear to you. Keep loving the way you do♥️♥️
@@BobbieFigaro oh my gosh, Mom yes I did.
We are indeed, not alone. Even if we feel as such. I have to remind myself of that. I have such a small group of supporters, so leaning on others is a rarity for me. That is a lesson that I continue to have to put into action for my own sanity
You are right about that! But trust that your supporters got you!
I love that scripture also. We all need courage and to be encouraged in different seasons of our lives. We need our small community of authentic friends who love us to be honest and open with us and we not get angry with them in what they see or say because we know they love us and want only the best for us. Thank you for this encouraging word on courage and may you continue to walk in God's boldness❤❤❤
@@BobbieFigaro yes we do!!
Surrender. A key word and hard to do and really mean it. Surrender to God and His will be done and we accept it is another thing
❤❤❤
We are never alone. Those words resonant so much more when you are in those tough spots like grieving the loss of a love one. I look back also and see that God was and is still with us along this journey of grief. To have empathy goes a lot deeper than sympathy when you have experiences a tough loss. Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts and no you don't dwell on the small things that you thought was important but now you no longer have that loved one but life must go on ❤❤
Beautifully said Mom! It goes deeper!
I hear you so much with this one. I get tears thinking about surrendering to God because the grief was so much that He is literally all I had. You’re right. It hurt so much going though, but when I look around… and I think things over… Moments DO matter. I’m so glad that you get to help others capture those moments. You’ve helped me in my journey to enjoy those moments too, Brittany. And I thank you so much for that.
The hurt during the process is unreal but on the side, JESUS!! Im grateful to be in the space to capture those moments. Awww Thank you!!
Comparison makes us look small and everyone else important. Let's celebrate our own uniqueness and capabilities.
Exactly!!! Celebrate You!!
We all need support ✅
Yessss fill your cup✅🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
It's about your healing ✅ Subscriber 53 here 😃 Let's stay in touch!🙌🏾 *Women Feeling Inspired❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for subscribing and I returned the love!
What a word. I pray this frees a lot of people because we can encourage others Although we may not be where we want to be but comparing yourself to someone else takes the focus off of God and puts it on the other person and that is not where we want to be. I know this was hard for you to pull together with so many thoughts you wanted to share on this subject but great job. ❤❤
Thanks Mom! You are right bout that!
I was afraid to start my channel, but I wanted to for so long. I also had to put my insecurities behind because I know someone out there is waiting to hear my voice. There is someone out there waiting to be encouraged by your story. Keep going girlll
Let me subscribe to your channel! And you are so right! Your voice matters! I will keep going and you do the same!
@@BrittanyUnfolding I will. Thank you❤️
@BrittanyUnfolding I'm subscribing. Let's grow together ❤️
Why we do what we do is so important. That "Why" can help you to keep on keeping on. I love the wisdom displayed in Your unfolding. ❤❤❤
You are so right Mom! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
This is a great idea
I loved it!
I still have set to set firm ones or read through that book
It's the setting part for me. Then following through with them.
It’s me! I’m the somebody it’s encouraging ☺️
Sis!!! I love you!!
Email > Zoom meeting > in person meeting. I even prefer email over texting some times!!!
Agreed. Texting can be overwhelming and/or have the connotation that you will receive and immediate response from me.
This! I’ve found in my own life, I’ve never called myself strong but it was always other people giving me that label. I’ve felt that it put an unfair expectation on me to live up to something that I may be only in certain situations. It doesn’t allow room for me to be real, cry about it, vent about it to you because now I’m something other than what you assumed or labeled me as…then you say things like “I thought you were the strong one”….. I hated the feeling I got after hearing those words and I vowed NEVER to label anyone by MY assumptions or opinions of them. Thank you for this video!
Sanerica!!! You just a word! It doesn't allow room for me to be real... that is it! The feeling is horrible and I'm with you, I have to be intentional on not labeling people. Even with me working with the youth at church, I had to start labeling because the added pressure of a label at a young age will only add stress to them.
@ Yes!! You are so right. They are still figuring out who they are as young men and women, their gifting, and who they are in Christ!
@@SimplySanerica exactly!
#self-careisnotselfish That belongs on a shirt. Let’s pour from the overflow.
Let me see what I can come up with! Thank you for that!
I love this. "You can't pour from an empty cup". If I have nothing left how can I be a blessing to anyone else. I, too, had to learn this hard lesson and I am still working on me. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Thanks for these encouraging self help tips. ❤❤❤
Im proud of you for slowing down Martha!
Exactly! I think with this hustle culture it’s almost frowned upon to really engage in self care. It’s not OR it’s AND… u can be a boss, grind, etc. AND take care of your mind and body simultaneously. It’s about that balance. That healthy balance. Even the Lord grinded for 6 days and then He did what? Selah.
You are so right! That AND matters in this because grinding and sleep when I'm dead will cause you and early death! He RESTED!
Breaking that mindset is indeed so important. I still struggle with that sometimes myself. But you’re right, you need to be around people and things that will help visualize and better yet, REALIZE that we are enough. Um… I’m loving that shirt. Same color and all. 2x please! lol jk.
The people around you matter! I’m tickled I would have made you a shirt.
Our words are powerful whether it's negative or positive we have what we say. Death and life is in the power of our tongue. Speak life only!!!
Yea they are! Speak life!
I love this!!!! I am so proud of you
Awwww thank you
lol seeing your face light up as you even tell us about your glowing pjs did it for me today! I’m am so glad that you’ve found and incorporated being happy into your life. It IS truly ok to be happy… and it will be well with your soul.
@@tdavis7396 it’s the little things for real! And thank you that means so much to me
Learning to embrace joy in small moments has been so powerful. Habit10x helped me focus and stay present!
Let me look up Habit10x thank you for the recommendation!
Enjoying joy. I remember when you mention this to me and I had to exam myself. Life after the loss of your Dad has been a struggle to find happiness. I know happiness is based on happenings and joy is from within yourself so each day we have to remember that the joy of the Lord is our strength to try and push forward. Remember the good things and celebrate the joy it brings you. Thanks for sharing a piece of your heart. ♥️♥️
You right Mom! The joy of the Lord is our strength and we will make it!
I think some people have a problem with the word No for an answer. They take it as a rejection. On the other hand there are People Pleasers who constantly say Yes when they should be say No. What are your thoughts on that?
You are spot on with that! I've been on both sides of that before.
Boy… I remember that season in your life that being busy = success. Ooooh Brittany, those days. So long ago, but I’ve seen that proper mindset change on your part. It’s been wonderful watching you matriculate and grow leaps and bounds from when you first started your business. ❤.
Ohhh the days of being busy. Just to think back makes me emotional. I appreciate that more than you.
Wow. Did my daughter just talk about her Mother? Ok. It is true and I have learned to mention to her what I might need her to do for me and let her work it into her schedule and she ALWAYS manages to get it done for me also. I had to free myself too and now I do make time for a Sabbath. Thanks for sharing and hope this frees someone else ❤
AND DID!! And I love you Mom! Im proud of you for making time for your sabbath!
Y'all, I went off on so many tangents in this video, but no apologies here-they all had a purpose!
Baby girl, no body but God helped you to pull all of this out of your BIG loss. Whew. I pray this blesses someone else who may be dealing with loss and grief and let them know that it is ok to just be ok. Life is rough and tough and if it were not for God, I don't know how we both would be navigating this life with grief. Great job. We are so proud of you and what God is doing through you. ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Mom! Just the two of us!
I know this was very, very hard for you to share with us. I thank you so much for sharing your story and what you learned through grief. There is a lot more I could say about this topic, but as I listen to this, while in tears, I am so thankful for your brother and sister for being there for you and your mother during this time. The love, protection, and security is so important in those moments. I thank God that you, in turn, are also there for people in some of their toughest moments. You are truly a godsend, Brittany, and the fact that you went through what you went through allows you to be there for others in a way that is truly intimate to all around you. Thank you for so much.
You got me crying! Thank you!!!
Totally agree if you are relying on a strong friend for support always remember they are human and sometimes they may need a listening ear also.
Yes!! You are so right, they need that ear too!
Powerful words and hard lessons in life ♥️
Thanks Mom!
So true. We all need a support group no matter how STRONG we are or think that we are. Strong does not mean that you cannot be weak at times and need someone to help you carry your load. Only God is strong all the time. ❤❤❤
You are right about that!
💯💥
Brittany every episode I’m like she’s in my business that week!😫🤣
LOL!!!!!!
Right! I agree with you, Brittany! Effective communication can’t even start until we search inward to know what is it we truly want and desire from those around us. Then, once we are true to those feelings, can we begin the communication process.
And the inward seach can be HARD!
@ oh most definitely! But so necessary. It wasn’t until I did that search that was able to fully articulate my needs to others. It made expectations a little easier. It still takes time, however!
@@tdavis7396 That is so true!! It is necessary.
