thank you to everyone here who played a pivotal role in my 20’s. your support means the world to me & i can’t wait to journey into a whole new season of life with you. 🦋✨
I’m turning 30 this year too girly! ❤ happy birthday Alyse! 🥳🥳
Not everyone has something negative to say. I remember people bashing you. It was awful.
It's amazing to witness your growth throughout your journey 🦋
I've watched your videos from the beginning. It's your journey and were here to witness that journey.
Do you...with no regrets.
❤
I’ve watched you since 2014, on and off, I haven’t seen a video of yours in years but I clicked on this video to see how youve changed and holy shit. The changes and wisdom. I needed to see this and feel this for myself as well. Sending you love and healing!!
same
Same!
Same! But I started watching since 2016. In low point in my life as a teenage with depression. Her videos gave me a distraction and another pov of life. I didn't know anything about veganism and after a while, I started to became vegetarian! Wanted to be vegan but I didn't had the resources at the time to do it. It's crazy how someone's life can impact yours in a good way
I’ll never fault Alyse for growing and changing. I will, however, fault the people in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s for yelling at a 20-something because she didn’t eat only veggies for the rest of her life, lmao. She doesn’t owe y’all 🥰 anything 🥰
I cannot relate to the people who wanted to stone their fallen savior aka… Alyse when she ate meat. It really shows you some people treat veganism like a religion. They were really shocked when a 22 year old didn’t have all the secret codes and answers to life.
My theory is that the real answer was never in veganism itself. It was in the breaking out of the standard mold of life that a young person is expected to adhere to. And, being wildly successful at it.
Congrats Alyse! Can’t wait to see where life takes you next! 🫶🏻
💯
Alyse, I was so impressed when you decided to change your diet and admitted it. It only made me enjoy your channel more. People change, they grow, health stuff happens! Cheers to 10 years!!
It's so refreshing to know that we all change, grow, getting diffrent , accepting the change
So glad to see you’re still here. Your journey is inspirational and it’s always so refreshing to see authenticity online. Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow. This was an honor to watch and take wisdom from. As a fellow UA-cam creator who also, strangely enough, went viral for taking out my box braids and got completely turned on by the internet that I thought was “my family” 🥴, I was never was able to return to UA-cam in the same way… I so admire the courage to share that part of your journey so openly on here, because you were able to put something into words that I’ve had difficulty expressing. And gosh it feels so comforting not to be alone in my humanity. I’m in my era of quiet… where I simply don’t want to share in the ways I used to. This video gave me hope that maybe someday I can share again, but in a higher and different way. Thank you Alyse. 💜 I can tell this took a lot of time and heart to put together.
I watched you a lot when I started watching Alyse! It was sometime around when you went to china with your boyfriend(now husband I believe) I thought you guys were so cool! I still do. I even climb now and I moved to Appalachia🤡
I hope you know despite the hate you are loved and appreciated for being 100% you and living your honest and open life. Thank you for sharing with us and inspiring others with your words and actions
You’ve been one of my greatest lights on the internet for as long as I can remember. Thank you for everything
oh my gosh 🫶🏼 this feels really special. i’m so glad to know i’ve been a light for you via the interwebbs!! 🥲🩵🍄✨
I love this recap Alyse!❤️🌈✨ I’ve been following you since you lived in Hawaii and have seen your entire evolution over time. Proud of you and happy to still see you embracing your authenticity🫶🏽
Shout out to all the subscribers who’ve stuck around since day one🥹
You've always been authentically you. Cheers to another decade ❤
Been watching you from the beginning! Always loved watching you grow and change and try new things. You’ve always been an inspiration. I’m almost 32 and my 30’s have been the best years so far!
Girl, you have been such a massive inspiration and guide in my life, you don't even know. I can't believe that ten years have gone by so quickly. Whenever I was in dark spaces, I watched your videos and got the energy to believe in myself and chase my dreams despite what shitty situation I was in. Thank you!
Happy Birthday Alyse! I've recently thought about you. I first started watching your videos, when you were living in Hawaii and I remember that you truly helped me to view myself and my life differently. I was 18 at that time and you could see my shift of mind even physically. I remember your videos about breaking free from expactions, about manifestation and happiness. I was very influenced by you in the very best way possible! THANK YOU
aww this is so EPIC to hear. thank you for sharing!! it definitely is wild how our internal state influences the external… here’s to breaking free + creating life experiences true to us 😌
Alyse, I'm proud of you for every step of your journey. You didn't let voices coming from outside to take what really matters from you. At the end of the day it's you in front of yourself, and you did an inspiring job listening to your inner voice despite being tested relentlessly by so much hate and judgement. That's a major lesson and victory, girlie.
I think the hate you get comes from envy that people have towards your resilience and growth despite their best efforts to affect you. In some ways their obsession with you could be seen as a compliment. I hope you always keep seeing your value no matter what. 💗
Alyse! I’ve been watching you since I was in high school! I’m 27 now and minimalism was the biggest take away I got from your channel and I’m still keeping up with it today. I’m so glad to see you doing good. Thank you for your youtube videos 🫶🏽
I absolutely love this video, made me choke up a little! I have been watching you almost since the beginning of your UA-cam days and probably the person I have been consistently following and watching on UA-cam. This is a truly inspiring videos and definitely things I am trying to learn and grow as well as I am in my mid 20s. Seeing this video has inspired me in more way than you can imagine. Thank you Alyse for never changing and for being you!!! 💜💜💜
Awww I love this so much! As someone who has been part of your community for over 8 years, it's so fun to watch a recap! Thank you for sharing your truth authentically and coming back in spite of all the hate! You're the strongest and most authentic influencer out there - proud of you and inspired by you! Here's to our 30's! 💙🍄🦋✨
Oh Alyse, you are such a bright light. I started following you from the beginning and originally resonated with your content because I used to live on the big island and I was a plant based eater. I always supported your journey even when you stopped being vegan. I know you’ve had your ups and downs but I’m so glad that you are still sharing your journey! Big hugs and much love to you sweetie!! ❤
You inspired me to go vegan when I was also in my early 20’s and I thank you everyday for the guidance and comfort your videos gave me. I also went back to eating meat after a few years due to health issues. I had extreme hair loss and lost 100 pounds in under a year from basically starving my body and at that time you helped me realize it was okay to stop doing what I thought was a fix all. Thank you 🤍
I had lost touch with your channel for a few years and this was the first video I found when I looked you up again. It's the exact video I needed to see ❤ thank you for being you
I love this. I’ve followed you loosely since the beginning and seen all of the changes you’ve made and challenges you’ve overcome. I’m coming to the end of my 20s and this video caused me to reflect on how I’ve changed and overcome in that time. I can’t imagine having the courage to go through all of that in front of millions of other people. In my early twenties I really struggled with self esteem issues and self doubt. This was compounded by having undiagnosed and untreated ADHD and being in an 8 year relationship with someone who was very critical of that part of me. I got diagnosed and started pursuing treatment for my ADHD a few years ago and I feel like I blossomed. I’ve been able to manage some of my symptoms, and learn to love and accept the ones that I can’t. I’m not all the way where I want to be yet but now I truly believe that I am capable of anything. For anyone in their late teens or early twenties reading this; it absolutely gets better. The challenges you face will shape you in amazing ways. You will change a lot, but more importantly, you’ll learn how to accept who you are.
Alyse, I’m glad you decided to make and share this video. I am sitting on my couch typing this feeling so thankful for everything I have learned in my twenties. I hope to see more content like this from you in the future!
I think I’ve been following you for the past 6-5 years? (obviously binged your beginning videos so I’ve followed 10 😂) The way you’ve grown and healed your way though this crazy world…I’m in awe. Thank you for your helpful words and mindful thoughts over the years. Seriously. 💛
When I was depressed, suicidal, anemic, anxious, recovering from assault trauma & unsure any of that was every going to change, I found Joe Rogan, then you Alyse. This was 2018 & it was an eye-opening breath of fresh air to know that experiencing the world in an innocent way was safe to do, that feminine didn't need to also mean weak, that change & constant evolution could be a way of life & not a chaotic disaster. Happy birthday lady, you're a real one!
You stayed authentic all this years and people have a problem with real ppl. You are great, continue. May God give you more love, success, peace, fulfilment to you and Luke in your next chapter of life.
This video is so perfect 🥹 I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos for this long! You’re beautiful inside and out ❤
This was awesome!! So cool to look back on those years, I started following you during your van life and never left!! This might sound weird from a stranger but I’m proud of you!! It’s been so encouraging to watch you navigate through life. You’ve always been positive and your energy is felt through the screen⚡️ Sending you love and good vibes from Colorado🌲
Stay you. ✌🏼
Happy Birthday! 30's are awesome, trust me - I think I had just turned 30 when i first discovered your videos, and 34 when I got to meet you on retreat and was always in awe at how this young lady could inspire me so much and show me so much wisdom, I'll be 39 soon and still find your journey and authenticity amazing, you have inspired me to be a better version of myself on many levels, a true light warrior and total badass, it takes courage to keep showing up for yourself like you have and here's to another decade of expansion, peace and adventures 🧚♂🤟💖
✨my innocence and purity are my superpowers✨ gotta remember that. resonates so much with what i’ve been going through
Alice, I have been following you for the past decade. You have helped me learned so much and the growth you experience is incredible 🥰
I have been here since the beginning! You are the reason I purchased my first pair of xero shoes! I am a carnivore, but enjoyed watching your minimalist living and your eating habits, even though they didn’t align with me, I was always open minded. The only people that try to tear someone down, are already below them. It’s a pity that people have to attack another person who is not doing them harm, but it is reality. I appreciate your videos. Thank you
I’ve watched your videos since the beginning and it’s truly been an honour to witness your growth. Change is hard and to do it all in front of the camera with so many people giving their unsolicited opinions makes it that much harder. I admire your strength, courage, and authenticity through it all. Sending love and light your way, I can’t wait to see what you accomplish next. Thank you for being you 🫶🏼
hey alyse, I met you at the UK fruitfest and was so obsessed with your channel 8 yrs ago.. this is the first video i've seen from you since all the hate where you seem like you again. I'm really happy for you that you got through that dark time and came out stronger on the other side.
Been here since the beginning. Cried watching this. You are beautiful and I have loved every second of being here to witness your journey bestie.
Thank you Alyse. I had no idea that I’ve been watching you for 10 years! I have watched and cherished your journey. I am much older and I must say that I really admire how you made it through all of the hate that you received when you decided to change your life based on your choices that work for you. Blessings to you and I look forward to watching more of your growth . Thanks for sharing your journey, being brave and offering inspiration to so many people young and old.
You are amazing Alyse! I've been here since the beginning and have loved seeing you bloom into this beautiful human being.
Wow, what a beautifully reflective video. Amazing growth and transformation. I've been following you since Hawaii days and always admire your vulnerability. Thank you for sharing. As someone in their mid 20s its inspiring to watch. Cheers to many more !❤🎉
Seeing the videos brings me nostalgia and a feeling of full circle. I discovered your channel when I started aligning and developing myself. I sought to surround myself with like-minded people, and all the content revolved around being grounded, respecting the nature of the body, food, and all elements. I stopped for 7 years because life took me in another direction. And now here I am again, since January on this journey once more, and I come across the channel that gave me so much and made me grow. So, just like you, I also followed what my mind was asking for at the time, I changed, came back to myself, and all because we are growing, developing as the world also evolves around us. Life is not linear, and the world is constantly changing, just like us. Thank you for all these years of vulnerable sharing.❤
Been watching since the start, I’m now 24. I became vegan in highschool, I was a vegetarian since 10. Recently pescatarian. I had to learn that the label of what I eat is nobody’s business and as long as I’m feeling healthy and doing what I reasonably can for the environment, I can live with that!
I really loved this Alyse!! I've been following you since 2017 and I've resonated so much with your journey throughout the years. I'm so sorry you had to deal with so much online hate, for me you have been nothing but authentic and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing the real you!! And happy 30th :)
thank you dear 🕊️
This video got me so teary eyed. Thank you for sharing with us this beautiful timeline of your life. It definitely makes me think back to where I was when I was watching your journey 🥲
Thank you for your transparency and allowing yourself the grace enough to just be who you are and yet still journey on through UA-cam. I cannot begin to know or understand what you’ve been through but I can empathize. I am currently 28 and my 20s so far has been a complete roller coaster and what I’m realizing is THATS WHAT YOUR 20s ARE FOR. Gosh, we put TOO much pressure on ourselves to fit in, perform, be cookie cutter, and be perfect. I am glad you were able to grow and learn and evolve. I appreciate growing up through my 20s with you. Peace and Blessings ❤
I have watched you for a decade now, literally growing up alongside you, and it has been such a pleasure to watch all the stages of you Alyse. I am so sorry for all of the hate and bashing you have faced over the years for simply growing and evolving. You did not deserve that at all. You may have changed diets, homes, hobbies, but one thing that has never changed is your sweet contagious smile and spirit.
Just know you have and always will have my support love. Loved this video!
I started watching you in 2015 and your journey has ironically mirrored my own. I’ve gone through tons of diet changes from vegan to now intuitive eating, moves & relationship shifts. Back and forth with online businesses, mental health struggles & ultimately now, the inner healing. I turned 30 this year as well 🫶🏼 thank you for being a part of my journey all these years 🌸
The video I never new I needed! Alyse this is absolutely beautiful and thank you so much for sharing cheers to turning 30 and many more amazing years to go I’m only 25 and have been watching you since high school you always have been my inspiration to start my own UA-cam channel Happy birthday Alyse! ❤
I’ve enjoyed following along on your journey for most of these last 10 years! Thank you for being you and inspiring me to be courageous and harness that Aries energy! Much love, Carla ❤
Oh, Alyse. It's so lovely to see how much you've grown on your journey. Especially seeing how far you've come since I knew you in Hawaii. I love that you are feeling more settled in yourself. The 30s can be such a magickal decade. I hope you are able to make the most of them in ways that bring you beautiful dividends. xo
Gosh , so beautiful to see ! I have come to realize how long I have been following you and how humbly I have been allowed to witness your entire growth in your life path .. Self-development and growth is what life is all about , there lies so much magic in it .. ❤️
Dear Alyse! I have been watching you on and off throughout the years and you always inspired me in some way or another. I will turn 30 soon and am now inspired to reflect on my 20's as you did! What you showed from your journey is resonating with me so much, as your younger self touched my younger self once again, and your current self touched my current self. Thank you for sharing you and I wish you some happy, peaceful and beautifuk 30's 🌻🙏✨️ 💙
The ending 🥺🥺🥺🥰 the cutest!
I needed this so much 💛 I’m so proud of your personal growth! It’s so inspiring to see you find your authentic self. Watching you taught me that it’s okay being so okay with being uncomfortable while you find your true self 🦋
This was beautiful! I love the creative too, it actually made me very emotional, thinking about how I have also changed and grown after the past 10 years. I feel like we have changed and grown very similarly being 3 years different in age. I’m so pleased you have come out the other end and still continue to share with us, thank you for showing us all what life is about!! 🧡
I have enjoyed following you all these years. It’s so nice to see someone doing something unfamiliar and exciting. I learned a lot from you and through you.
The thing I loved most about you when I first found your channel was that your energy was very motivating - you motivated me to let go of fear that had been holding me back from making a better life for myself, I will always be grateful to you for that! I hope you continue to seek & find the path that aligns with your highest self♥️
I have followed your journey from the beginning. Love it! NOw in your thirties after becoming closer to your best self in ts important to give that love for yourself back into the world to others.
🩷 I’m over here tearin up. Thank you for your existence, Alyse. You’ve positively impacted me more than you know 🥰
you have always been such an inspiration for me! i started watching you as a young teenager and as I now enter my 20’s I will be keeping all of your journey in my mind!
I’ve been with you since the beggining girlie.. since I was 15 and you got me into veganism, but the whole natural lifestyle. It’s been a rollercoaster since, but I am so glad I’ve found my way back to your videos and this is absolutely beautiful. It brought me to tears honestly. I’ve been through so much since I was that little girl watching your salad videos.. lost myself in so many ways but life is beautiful how it comes full circle. So thankful for you and everything you’ve taught me over the years
Omg the dreadlocks video was the first i watched and then I binged watched all of your videos and loved you and your lifestyle, i was very smol so i couldn't do the same but girl did it help me with a lot of thing in life anyways 🥺❤️
so glad to know my videos were helpful in some way for you 🥹🦋
The way I teared up!! You brought back good times, when i waited for your videos for SECONDS! Your journey has been undeniably part of mine, although both journeys are completely different. Thank you for this video. Times change. We grow older and life is different.. not because of the times, but because accumulated experience "births us anew" (if that even makes sense). I send you love from the Dominican Republic and know we are on the right path. HUGS!!!
I’ve been following your journey intermittently for the last ten years. I turn 30 next year and I am seeing a lot of parallels in the lessons you have learned and what I have experienced in my life as well. Thank you so much for the inspiration and encouragement over the years. I especially loved the footage from the Appalachian Trail. Very inspiring and moving. Congratulations on these 10 years of transformation!
I’ve always loved your channel. I admire your vulnerability and courage 🩷 people can be so mean. We all undergo change throughout our lives, people should rly chill
I love you sooo much it has been such an honor watching the magical bean that you are grow and blossom ♥️
wow i found you through your dread video and continued watching you for years, i can’t believe it’s been a decade! i’m a few years younger than you and you always inspired me to be adventurous and go out and do the things i want to do in life and i want to thank you for that! I was just wondering the other day what you were up to as i haven’t seen content of yours in a long time so im happy you made this update and happy to see you’re doing well ❤
I've been here since the beginning and I'm really proud of you. You are radiant and a beautiful creature. You are so strong!
I have been here the whole time and think you are wonderful ❤ thanks for the reflection and the inspiration over the years.
🌈 always been so inspired by you, your authenticity, and journey of self discovery. Thanks for sharing your truth!
your amazing- I love you. honestly so glad that you went carnivore, I always supported it and felt that it was the right choice for you bc you needed to be healthy again. Congrats on how far you have come and happy thirtieth! Only gets better from here.
thank you 🙏🏼
Loved this video! Such a good recap/what you’ve learnt. I followed you back in 2014/5 but stopped watching UA-cam at a similar time so it’s lovely to see how much you’ve grown since day 1. Your constant check-ins and growth with yourself over the years to make sure you’re doing what is best for you is inspiring. Can’t wait to see where you go in life 💗
I have been with you since the beginning, Alyse. It has been a pleasure to watch you grow into the woman that you are today. Im proud of you.
wow. so beautiful - it warms my heart to witness your journey and grateful to be connected & a part of the ripple effect you're creating in the world 🥰💛
what a beautiful recap ❤ as a follower for years, i am so glad to see you still here and showing its okay to go through many phases in this journey through life.
Such a wonderful and inspiring way to celebrate a new decade ❤
Thank you for being you. I’ve been here on this journey with you since the beginning of your time on UA-cam. Sending love 💕 thanks for sharing your past decade with us all.
hi love, thanks for taking the time to comment & thank you for being here to share my journey with 😌🙏🏼✨
Alyse...words cannot describe how much gratitude I have for you and what you share. I have been here since the start and was also vegan when I watched you at just 14 years old (I am now animal based and also v much into biohacking/natural living) and I saw you beneath all the strength you had to cultivate in the INSANE amounts of judgement you had received. You are truly inspiring and I hope to one day meet you to give you a big hug and tell you in person because you have had a big impact on my life throughout the entire time with the evolution that has taken place. I have been through very similar things - vegan, mold, carnivore, loss of identity, going against society/family/friends perceptions of what should be, burn out, sharing from a place of proving oneself etc etc. Thank you for sharing this, sharing you authentically in the best way you can in each moment.
you are so awesome! I have always appreciated you videos. They actually helped me to slow down or not get connected to the wrong things. I love to see and hear how you have continued to grow/change. People don't like change so I'm glad you fought back in your own way and continued on your life journey
I’ve been watching you since 2015?! I love you and all your phases. I journeyed through life WITH you and your video inspired me on my own personal growth journey. Thank you Alyse for being you and for sharing ❤️
As someone in my twenties I am slowly figuring out that this is the time to try new things and learn from mistakes. I love your videos and your words are encouraging ❤
been here since the beginning. you've always been a inspiration. sending love 😘
I feel like we have a lot of life parallels from the sharing a lot to the mold all the way to the mental and physical focuses we've selected to help us feel our best!
Thank you so much for all the amazing videos you've made over the years. ❤️
I love your vibe Alyse. I have followed you on and off (without subscribing) for years since you were making vegan videos. You are an amazing, strong compassionate woman. 🩷
I am glad this got to be your journey in this lifetime, and you had the freedom to do so much internal and external exploration, focusing on yourself and having brilliantly colourful experiences.
I spent my teens and all of my 20s taking care of a mentally ill parent and elderly, aging grandparents, struggling to find peace, and wishing so badly things could have been different. Now my second year into my 30s, one grandparent is left, requiring 24/7 care, and i am looking at the next decade of still needing to be responsible for that parent. The burnout and depression is real.
I used to watch your earlier videos and live vicariously through the delicious scenery and good vibes. They were a nice escape from the lonely confinement and brightened my day, giving enough of a nudge to get through it.
Crying as I’m watching, I can’t believe it’s been so long you’re such an inspiration
🥲🥲🥲
You changed my life in a positive way and still look up to you thank you
I am happy to see you’re healing
Happy birthday ❤
Happy late birthday! And wow what a beautiful video to wrap those years up I was there from almost the beginning. Your first trip to Hawaii shortly after your locs. I think that's how I found you. From my end it's been a beautiful ride, even the lows. Watching you grown and change has been beautiful. Even if our life views changes it's never made me think differently. You are you and thank you so much for sharing so many parts of you to us. ❤❤❤
🌈 I turn 30 this year as well. I've loved watching you grow and seeing the person you've become over the past 8 years. You helped motivate me to start a minimalist journey in my life so many years ago. I thank you for your openness and willingness to share your life, struggles, and successes. Keep doing what is right for YOU. Cheering you on from Kansas! 💕
The last video I remember watching of yours is when you were talking about changing your name. It’s so reassuring to see you change and know that I am not stuck in the person that I am today and that there’s room for development. Happy birthday!
It is amazing the amount of effort and long time you've put into getting to where you are, especially in today's world. Even with the social media success, I'm glad to see you where you are now. ❤🙏🤗
Everybody's journey is unique. As it should be. Keep learning and keep growing Alyse!
This is awesome love! I switched from vegan to carnivore a few years ago and it broke my heart to see the comments on your videos. Happy to see you thriving and that you were able to see the medicine in it all. Big blessings on your journey!!!❤
I’ve watched you since 2016 and I must say this is the absolute best most positive tribute to someone’s 20s and they’re mental physical development and well-being. So proud of you girl.
thank you!!!! 🥲🥲
What a beautiful story and life! Happy to see you build and break down and rebuild over the years Alyse! ❤
this made me cry, i looovee yewww
I have been watching your channel since your Hawaii days when I was in high school & now I am in graduate school. Love your videos & your authenticity always!
I’ve been following you are nearly 7 years and I’ve adored watching your journey. I never doubted you 💖
thank you so much!!😊
I appreciate your couriosity and honesty❤
Happy birthday! This is very generous of you to share all this growth. Thank you for all the adventures! I am 42 now and still learning on life every day. I wish you the best. ❤
thank you janie 💗💗
Happy Birthday. Over the years I've watch off and on and always loved your positive energy.
Happy birthday Alyse!!! I hope your 30s are so fun and enriching.
