    Hello. Nice video :o) And good on ya for being brave in the name of helping your viewers and admitting you’re not a perfect parent 100% of the time. And who in the world is? Literally no one. But in the next breath you’re talking about how you love to read to your kids and bake with them - you seem grand to me! And I know with my own kids that as long as they know they’re loved, safe, respected, and for the most part that mom and dad are normal! Lol then they are just fine and we adults are accepted as only human :o) I’m with you on easing off on over-doing it and also not trying too hard to please others. Others can take care of themselves a lot of the time! One life to live, be good to yourself, yes. The marché in Paris, now there’s a way to spend some free time! So many to choose from as well :o)

    • @TheJackfruitLife
      @TheJackfruitLife 8 місяців тому

      I know a lot of experts don't like to show behind the veil, but I think it's important for us all to recognize - as you say with your kids - that even a life coach is only human. And having two little kids can sometimes drive me bonkers! I definitely do better when I keep my schedule light, so my head is clear and ready to engage in the joys of childhood with them. :) Working on it - and hopefully getting better all the time!

    Lovely video, enjoyed the variety of cozy ways to embrace winter. The Danes do have the right idea. You can’t go wrong with a snuggly blanket and chocolate. It’s funny because you can imagine that Ireland isn’t exactly a bright and cheery place in the winter, yet I don’t mind it nearly as much as when I lived in NY (Irish pubs for example are great in bad weather - I think that’s why they’re such a part of life here). Do you feel that way with Paris, that the city itself is somewhere you’re always generally happy, even under grey skies? I must say I do very much enjoy and appreciate my favorite mug! :o) Looking forward to fun tips on how to break up with my phone :o) P.S. That is a great chair by the window

    • @TheJackfruitLife
      @TheJackfruitLife 8 місяців тому

      So interesting that you prefer Ireland! I am generally a happy person so I still enjoy Paris, but we moved from Utah where I definitely preferred winter. You still get a lot of sunlight and bright blue skies, it's not a wet cold, and you get the gorgeous mountains covered in snow. Where most people live it actually usually isn't snowing, but a winter wonderland is close by! I started the phone break up book last night. I need it so bad! 😅

    • @eemailcory
      @eemailcory 8 місяців тому

      Right, I can definitely hear you about Utah being a beautiful winter with the mountains and sunny skies and Paris being more of a difficult winter because it turns into a bit of a grey city. At least you have a wonderful spring to look forward to :-) 🌸 Growing up in the 80s and 90s, my family and I used to ski out in Utah. We used to go to Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and the restaurant in Salt Lake that used to be a jail, I was sorry to hear it closed down. I really liked it out there - “Greatest Snow on Earth” :o) Unlike skiing in the east, out there it was powder, snow and sunshine, and it would take about 15 minutes on the lift, but a couple of hours to get down in the back bowls. Great stuff.

It's been a very real emotional tug back o a certain area for very valid reasons, but my partner and I weren't in sync. When it got to pt of me being 90% sure this was right, a friend pointed out that I would never be 100% and you just have to act. We got closer in sync on the matter, and hearing this quote puts it more in perspective.
