Hi! Welcome to our channel! We are so glad you stopped by and appreciate you being here. This channel started out as a family blog (check out the old videos for lots of silliness and vegan food ideas!) but it is morphing into so much more.
Our primary focus now is spreading positivity and helping our viewers (that's you!) feel good for even just a moment if we can. Since our family is chockful of neurodivergent types (ADHD!) and I often struggle with executive dysfunction, intrusive thoughts, and strong feelings (to put it mildly), we started using the power of the internet and the help of viewers such as yourself to overcome some of my hard times, while simultaneously (hopefully) helping ya'll to overcome similar ones.
That's why we have so many body doubling videos. Body doubling is a great way to get something done while receiving a gentle pep talk. It's like having a friend working in the room with you! So find a task, small or large, and let me help you while you help me!

I don't know about you but we have been having a hard couple of years. Well, five, at least. We'd been working in neurodivergent burnout mode for at least two years. It has been rough, to say the least. Finally, we just couldn't take it anymore. With no savings and no jobs (😱🫣), we picked up and moved into an RV with hopes of life on the road, living closer to nature. (But not too close!) So, w...

BODY DOUBLING | Brush Your Teeth With Me!
Thank you for this video, I had a premade sandwich and then got hungry for an apple when you started to talk about it 😅 so I ate one, core and all. 💕
I appreciate this tip too. I can’t see the dates when your shorts were shot, but I have noticed I’ve missed any cleaning videos less than a year old. I randomly chose this video to leave a message. I have very severe depression, and most of my home is about a level three hoard, but there are endless other issues, including chronic pain, which I’ve always had. My question is how to deep clean an intensely hoarded bedroom because it’s starting to make me sick. With no help, I simply cannot prioritize the layers of tragedies around me that I have no control over. I’ve lived in anticipatory grief for over 20 years and I am here now trying to figure out how I can lose my last family member (young family member) and still go on. I do have a gorgeous daughter in her early 20s, but she has mental health issues will not deal with. She and her siblings are all adopted. I adopted her as a single mother when I was not prepared. So here we are. Thank you for everything you do. I love your approach to challenges. I’m quite sure we would’ve been friends in high school, although I’m 999 years older than you are. Could that be an exaggeration?
Thank you for your help! You motivated me to clean my fridge too!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
This was so helpful! I loved the music and your encouraging words and tips. ❤
Quesadilla 😋
thank you for thisss
Absolutely! 😁 Thanks for the comment!
I really love how you remind grounding techniques and things throughout your videos. It feels really encouraging and since I'm so dissociated most of the time, it helps ground me. I'm also really working hard on calming my nervous system which is really hard so these body doubling videos help me a lot! Also yes hi! I'm autistic and queer❤
Hi, fellow autistic queer person! I'm happy you stopped by. I honestly say those things because that's what I need to hear. I'm glad I'm not the only one. ❤️
@ohjesslyn Yeah I think that's valid and actually only makes the body doubling better! I'm glad to have found your page💕
I’ll send you some clothes if you want.
That's so sweet but now that I live in the RV, I haven't got room for any more clothes! 😅
I am new to body doubling, and I can already tell how it’s going to change my world. As a former news researcher and content maniac, I cannot believe I didn’t know about it until this summer. So happy to have found you. Thank you so much. My world is not only one of ADD and depression, but loss and grief. Someone in my immediate family has been dying for over 20 years, and I am right back here now. I have almost no family left. I turned my head, and suddenly my entire home is about a level three hoard. It’s a home without storage, but owned by a woman with endless access to gorgeous, free designer clothes. Yes, that’s me! I want to sell a lot of things, but I can’t find a place to put things while I put other things in place. You do understand because you made reference to such a conundrum. Any ideas - would just make my day. I realize this is an older video, but I will search for more recent ones.
I'm so glad you found me! Body doubling has been such a blessing for me. My life has been turned upside down for the last year, desperately trying to climb out of a terrible hole we were in, but I really should try to make some more videos. 😓 I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with loss and grief, among other difficulties. On top of that trying to deal with household stuff must feel impossible. Just know that you aren't alone and you are seen. Do what you can when you can and give yourself grace for the rest. ❤️
Oh, let's see... Tips... Hmm. Well, if you have a lot of fabulous clothes that you won't be able to keep, I'd start there. Figure out how much your life will be able to accommodate and then sort through the clothes in sessions. After each session, donate the clothes you can let go of. You could also consider selling them, if you have the spoons and could use the money. Maybe use that money to buy storage solutions. Or try to find a women's shelter or somewhere providing clothes for job seekers if you want to donate. I like donating because I feel good about helping someone which makes it easier to say goodbye to my things and I can get things out of my house right away. Another thing I did was just get some free boxes and then pack up just about everything. Anything I thought I might be able to live without. Stack the boxes and leave them somewhere for several months. This does two things. 1) now you have less stuff and may be able to try to organize better and 2) you'll know whether you need the things you put in the boxes or not bc if you want something back so bad you'll dig it out of the boxes, then it's probably worth keeping. After 6 months or so, anything still in the boxes can be donated. But don't look through it or you'll decide you want some of it back! 🫣
@@ohjesslyn Somehow I missed this response, but I will do exactly as you suggest. I have discovered a few huge, clear Ziploc bags for clothing storage. Of course they help because you can see what you’ve put away. I should probably get another pack of them, but I wish they had some structure. Not only does my networking group have a clothing boutique, but they give us almost as much jewelry as clothing. My wall jewelry holder was stuffed full 4 years ago, and my back up isn’t structurally sound. I just got a refund from Amazon. That doesn’t solve the problem at hand, but it’s something. I agree with you about donating, and you would not believe the amount of clothing and other items I have donated. There is charitable group of organizations in East Denver, and they will be having an event closer to the holidays. I gave away a ton for their summer event. I’ve already begun, preparing for the next one. It’s like the clothes populate on their own. They must be a companion species to bunnies. I love your philosophies and supportive method. I could never thank you enough.

I wish I had a dishwasher 😭 The place I rent doesn't have space for one. My doom pile of dishes is always horrendous. 😢 So overwhelming and so hard to get started on. Good luck to everyone reading. We can do this. We aren't alone.
I really should do a new video for this because I don't have a dishwasher anymore either! Dishes and laundry are always my most overwhelming tasks because they just never end! You're right though, we CAN do this and we aren't alone. Thank you!
@@ohjesslyn <3
I am back again. Hi! This is the calmest and most comforting clean with me video I have ever watched. Thank you again. ❤
Welcome back! ☺️ I always appreciate you stopping by and especially commenting!
Not sure if I have adhd but when it comes to cleaning I definitely do. Just trying out body doubling for the first time. I appreciate this!
I hope it helps. It's a game changer for me.
Thank you for this video! My dishes are done, floor swept, and meds organized in my weekly pill box. Whew! Now I can start Monday on the right foot. Subscribed! ❤
You are so welcome! Dang, you got so much done. Way to go! 💜
@@ohjesslyn Thank you!!
I love it. Thank you so much. We always judge ourselves the harshest.
That's so true. Thanks for that reminder. ❤️ Have a great day! 😊
thank you
You're welcome!
i had lunch with you! this was exactly what i was looking for but even better. you seem so kind and it made my meal very enjoyable. thank you!
I appreciate that! I'm so glad you enjoyed our meal together. Thank you for letting me know!
( ◜‿◝ )♡
Working thru my ASL lesson videos - lesson 4 again!
Great job!
Maybe you can do a biking body doubling vid sometime!
Oh! That's an interesting idea. I'd have to figure out how to mount a camera or something but it sure sounds fun!
So helpful for me! Yes, life requires perseverance! Best wishes for you - and all who watch! ❤
Thanks! Same to you!
Utilizing this body doubling again today enabled me to work thru some body pain & get a few lightweight, but not the most fun, things done. Now I have a sense of accomplishment. Thank you; hope you updated website is beneficial to you!
Great job! That sense of accomplishment is worth the extra effort!
Finished drinking 1st bottle of water. Then rested about ½ hour in recliner due to lack of enough sleep last night. That may sound easy to a lot of people, but it is not easy for me to just be still. Your music helped. Now I'm going to fix lunch, which is easy for me to do!
Awesome! Recovery is never easy, but you're doing great!
I've prepped lunch & now eating while I listen to how you prep for the kids school stuff this week!
Love that! Thanks for letting me know!
I'm glad you are back online! I would love to hear some music, otherwise it's hard to focus for so long. Thanks for the content you create and the time you put into it.
Great point! We tried to fix it on our last couple lives. Hopefully it works out!
Now I'm resting and watching this bd while also waiting for a friend to come take me to a party. Rewards at the end of accomplishments! Love it! ❤❤
Yes! Rewards can be so motivating.
Love your haircut. Also, I completed two things that I didn't particularly want to do - sending a bunch of text reminders and studying a new language - while watching your last body doubling (bd) live. Your bd's are so helpful to me! Thanks.
Awesome! And thanks for the kind words about my hair. I really wanted to change it and I think it turned out nicely!
yayyy! ^_^ what a great thing to share for f olks.
Thanks! It's been a pain having to keep plugging away with no obvious accomplishment but I figured at least maybe it would help other people if I also made them body doubling videos.
Can’t watch you lives, because it at night for me😂 but I got an interview! Are you on any other platforms?
I'm here and on TikTok (body doubling buddies). Sorry that the lives aren't at a better time for you, but huge congrats on getting an interview! I hope it turns out well for you. 😊
hayyy great to see you again!!
❤
Sorry that you're job search is going slower than expected. I am moving slower than expected myself today. Your body doubling vid is what got me out of bed this morning, and I'm getting stuff done little by little cause i can keep going while you keep going!
I'm glad my video helped you get going! Keep it up!
I loved the cozy RV living! Glad you a are following your dream,
Thanks so much!
Body Doubling is awesome! I love your influence on mine back in the day, and we regularly body double in the recovery group's zoom!
That's awesome! Good to hear from you again!
so glad you are back in a way that works for you!
Thank you!
it's great to see your face!!!!
It's great to see your avatar too! Thanks for still being here, friend!
Also applying for jobs. Let’s do this together!
Yes! Let's do! I'm taking the weekend off but I'll be back at it on Monday. Best of luck out there!
You should know, your video helped me on a tough day two years later 💝
Wow! Thank you for telling me. I'm so happy to be having some positive affect on the world. ❤️
love you, this helping me so much
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped.
💗
If you are still doing body doubling videos and if you are still home schooling, I desperately need a planning video. I am a teacher and get terribly distracted. I completely understand what you said about your home. We rent to, I love our home, but it t is run down and will never look perfect.
I am still doing body doubling (at least I have plans to!) and am definitely doing homeschooling. I could make a planning video for sure! Thank you for the suggestion. Please subscribe if you haven't already, so you'll see it when it comes out.
So cool!
Believe me, your family sure misses you!
Looks so fun. Glad your family is having this adventure!
Thanks! We sure miss our family though!
Dying your kids hair recken it she is only a nipper
That's the thing about hair: it grows back! She'll be okay but thanks for the concern.
Thank you for this, i also have adhd and laundry is still one of the things I struggle with even when I take my medication. You helped me tackle a mountain of laundry ❤
Awesome! Laundry is so hard for me because it just never ends. I'm so glad the video helped you as much as it helped me. Thanks for taking the time to comment! 😊
thank you so much for including the discussion on sensory issues regarding brushing teeth. i used to feel so deeply ashamed of not brushing my teeth regularly for 16 years before i finally identified that due to a very very high gag reflex, brushing my teeth nauseates me and makes me gag, and i used to be given exclusively mint toothpaste which was a disturbing flavour profile to be foaming around in my mouth. the realization changed my approach completely!
You're welcome! I feel like people don't talk about it a lot but it's a real problem.
While watching I am cooking too! Fried tofu and veggie stir fry
Oh, that sounds delicious! I'm not sure why but I really struggle to make a good stir fry. 🤷♀️ Do you have any tips?
Thank you! This helped me today!
You're welcome! I'm so glad. Thanks for letting me know!
This is thankful! I'm going to try this. I'm having a really hard time. I think this is helpful
Oof. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I hope the video helps. And I hope things get easier soon. Hang in there!
