    So thankful for you addressing how important it is to take care of one's mental health. My son has been diagnosed with Depression, PTSD, and social anxiety. There is a real stigma out there about Depression. I am running across people that feel he should be able to just "snap out of it", or call him lazy. It's frustrating to me. It's an illness. No one chooses to be depressed. I just want to thank you for sharing what you have been going through, and know it truly does make a difference. ❤

    Hello Jen! i am soooo happy that your break was a blessing for you and your family. my little sister and i have an inside joke that whenever we feel like we arent being productive enough w/ our lives, that we need to watch some of your videos to motivate us. i am 28 years old, mother to a 4 year old. and even at my age i say "when i grow up i want to be a mom like Jen" thank you for being such a beautiful representation of how beautiful motherhood and life can be. so excited to see your upcoming content! sending lots of love! xoxo-from orange county, california

    Welcome back! So glad you are putting yourself first over the numbers. I support all creator taking time away. I watch several UA-camrs who regularly take a couple of weeks at the beginning of the year. I think you are a great person and strong enough to know when you need to be the priority. So happy to watch whatever you want to put out there.

    I’m so happy to see you back but equally glad to hear it’s because you got the recharge you deserve!
    You inspire me so much always but this is a new form of inspiration - giving permission to prioritize your mental health when burnout occurs. I have a very small channel compared to yours and experience it myself so I cannot begin to imagine having to make the decision to pause at your level. That must’ve been so difficult to decide to do and then also share with people.
    Thank you for being vulnerable with us. You make a difference. ❤

    What a breath of fresh air Girlfriend! You look so amazing. Rested, your complexion is glowing, and your eyes sparkle. Happy you took time away from the whirlwind you had been in and relaxed and unplugged awhile. It shows. Please stop when you need to and catch your breath, relax, and let go of the stress of it all before it starts getting the best of you. So happy to see you looking well. Remember, we are here for a good time, not a long time. Each day is a gift so enjoy each one. Love you! Will be here anytime you can make it. We all love you.

    You're 100% right. I work in sales and this is what you're describing. I mostly thrive on it, but there are days when it really gets to you for sure. I traveled a lot for work last year and your travel videos really helped me as THAT was putting a lot of pressure on me. I now can work without all of the travel because I had to do that to balance things in my life. I also struggle not so much with depression, but anxiety has been a factor since in was in utero I'm pretty sure. It's a constant and takes work in and of itself to manage. I see a lot of myself in you. We achieve big, are creative, and....can crash sometimes. It's inevitable. Take care of yourself first. 🥰

    Also want to let you know that I just delivered my first "Lasagna Love" meal. I had never heard of the organization till you talked about it. I was so excited to see a local presence (Twin Cities, MN).
    I retired from sales/lending & there are some times when I miss all the "metrics".
    Keep up the great work, but please take good care of yourself!

My brain is telling me I still need to work when deep down I know I need to decompress and NOT do any work. But I was so happy to see your video pop up and truly hope you are doing ok. You deserve time off just like everyone else. 💚 edit: I have watched you for several years now and absolutely love your videos..all of them…I don’t think I have missed one since I started following you lol!! If I have, it was literally by mistake. But your videos are so relaxing, motivating and inspiring…you give me tons of ideas. I also love looking at your kitchen 😂

    So glad you are back, Jen!! So glad you are feeling better. I agree that UA-cam is a difficult thing to do and work outside of the home at the same time. I have a new video recorded but not time to sit down and edit. I have terrible numbers because I can’t make enough content. I’ve been trying to get to 1000 subscribers for over a year now and just can’t find the time to do stuff. I know 1000 is nothing but I know you have been there.
    I am glad that you are feeling better mentally. My son has mental disease so I totally understand, I deal with him and his issues every single day. Sometimes I feel as if I need a mental break too = just time to sit and do nothing, to do things. I enjoy instead of working, cooking ,taking care of the family and pets, etc. Sometimes I need time to myself. Time with the family. It is difficult to balance it sometimes.
    If you need to do less videos to make life easier to handle go for it. We will understand, your subscriber base! We will take one for the team. Do what you have to do. We will be here to support you.

It really makes a difference for me.

    Hey 👋 Jen. It’s wonderful having you back and you look fabulous. I can really see how much you needed a break, you look revived and happier. Your vacation sounded wonderful and a lot of fun. Jen you couldn’t have said the money part any better because it’s not worth your health. I see so many people on here that once they get that money coming in they completely change. They loose all reality and their family and friends no longer come first. I can actually come up with 20 channels that have done this and it’s so sad. In the beginning they say it won’t change them they will remain the same, just never happened. Anyway welcome back Jen hugs 🤗 and I can’t wait to start watching again.

    Time off and unwinding is magnificent ❤ self realization is such a big step. I feel like a lot of the times, us working moms don’t even realize how bad the exhaustion truly is until we have a break! It literally takes me a week of PTO to even grasp how badly I needed it? Then I’m like crap I need another week since now I know how tired I was 😂 jokes aside glad you’re back J! Glad you’re feeling refreshed and better. Hey, we will always be here so take those breaks more often moving forward and tend to yourself first (which is sooo hard for us moms- totally get it!) Now off to think about which PTO days I’ll take! Thanks for the reminder chica!

    Unless a person has been in the throws of depression/anxiety it is hard to understand! So glad you listened to the cues your body was giving you! Wishing you continued peace & wellness!!

    To say I was thrilled when you popped up on my screen this morning would be a huge understatement. I have missed you and am so glad you are back and more importantly, that you are feeling better. You are such a talented lady and I enjoy your work so much. I feel inspired by you each time I watch you. So many of the things you've been through mirror things in my own life that I see hope and encouragement through your videos. Additionally I think you are just so funny and straight to the point and I love that. Try to remember that you are awesome, take time to rest and recharge and know that you are loved.
