"Called to encourage." I love that. From a mom of 3-year-old twins, the encouragement is appreciated.
Absolutely and it is truly my honor. Thank you for your kind words!!
Happy 2024, Jen!
Thank you for your great content Jen, I really appreciate how you share your experiences! I wish you the best for 2024 🎉
Love your videos. Thank you for all of your positive energy!
Thanks for sharing!
I look forward to your content in 2024!
Thanks for your transparency Jen. Happy New Year to you and your family, glad to hear that they are feeling better. 💖
Yes slowly but surely everyone is getting back to normal! Thanks, Terri!
Thank you for being honest and transparent 😊
I really enjoy your videos. Appreciate the transparency on this topic. I’ll ask what I’m sure other folk might be thinking, how much does Patreon bring in on top of this? It seems to be the modern way and almost live changing for many creators.
Love your videos Jen! I travel a lot and live north of you in Big Canoe - enjoy seeing our common haunts around Alpharetta! My favorites are your packing videos and daily living videos. Thanks for all you do!!
Happy New Year! Congrats on your numbers. Yes, I agree that it’s off putting when creators are constantly just trying to sell something. Much better when what you promote are things you love and use yourself - that always shines through I think. X
Such a kind comment! Thank you!
Happy New Year Jen 🎊 I enjoy watching you, Thank you 💖 Keep shining ✨
Thank you so much, Ann Marie!
Jen - I have always enjoyed your content - you are answering your call, I have moved over to this channel and will continue to enjoy. Happy New Year as we stroll in to 2024!!! Take care and hope the family gets well soon!
Thank you so much! Everyone is almost completely well - as long as nobody else gets it! Fingers crossed.
I love these reviews. Always so interesting to me
It's a good practice for me to make them, too. Forcces me to really look at the numbers and make good decisions moving into the new year.
I have always appreciated how you dealt with affiliate links and products that have enhanced your life
Happy New Year from the UK 💕
Happy New Year to you too!
Love your channel! You were searching for a description for what you are to us..teacher, etc. You are INFORMATIVE and provide your viewers with quality information that help us make decisions regarding travel, organization, Disney, etc. Thank you!!!!
Thank you, Karen! I love that!
I’m not going anywhere. I’m loyal. Looking forward to whatever you have to share! You’re the best. And I appreciate you immensely!!
Inspire, that is what you do. Happy New Year x
I ADORE that. Thank you so much.
This is so refreshing to hear your views on affiliate advertising
Much respect for your transparency… always enjoy your content ❤
Thank you so much, Lisa!!
Good on you Jen for being so open about this. I’ve wondered for years what sort of money people make from UA-cam. Whatever people make, good on them. I watch if I enjoy it so good luck to them. Happy New Year
Thanks, Alan!
What a wonderful human you are! Happy to see you so happy, rejuvenated and excited! 2024 will be great ❤
You’re too kind and honestly? I’m not that great but I do try hard so I’ll take it. Thank you!!
So excited for everything to come 😃🥰 long term fan and am not going anywhere 😃🥰🥰xxxx
I keep meaning to join your Patreon so now seems like a good time. Love your channel, thanks Jen!
Well THANK YOU!! So kind!
I love your videos. You're so transparent and real. I know you're not schilling things to your audience like a lot of content creators. I appreciate and value your thoughts and content ❤ happy new year Jenn 🎉
Thank you so much, Lauren. I appreciate it so much!
Thank you so much. Love the transparency. ❤️😘
I appreciate you very much, Major!
Excited for you...hoping your family is well soon..All good wishes on your new adventures...
I think we are almost all well again! Thank you so much, Lynda.
One of the things that I love about you is that I know if you’re sharing things with us, you fully believe in the product. The older I get, the less I need excess stuff. But what I do need are quality products (and experineces) that make my life better. I would never have tried Cariuma sneakers or Balega socks without your input. Both have (and I know this sounds dramatic-lol) changed my life. Thanks so much for being informative, but also fun to watch. Can’t wait to see where 2024 takes you!!
Oh my goodness this comment is my favorite. THIS is my goal so thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I live that you feel called to communicate and encourage. You are succeeding at both more than you know!
Thank you so much!! That's a lovely comment and you made my evening.
That was very well done, a very good balance of all the information, and I totally agree with you on the ethics. So happy and excited for you and all you have planned for this year. Wishing you all the best for 2024!💕🍂🥳 let’s walk forward together and see what 2024 has to offer.💕🍂🥳
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
Jen Lafforge, you are a class act. You're channel is a feel good, happy place and so greatly appreciated. Thank you. Don't ever change.
What an absolutely lovely thing to say. Thank you!
My word of the year for 2024 is “simplify” so we are on the same page Jen! My goal is to feel lighter by the end of this year (both figuratively and literally!). I think you’re on the right track and don’t worry, I’m sticking with you like glue! Your videos are one of my favourite landing spots on UA-cam. When I see you’ve posted, I love nothing better than a hot cup of tea and a dose of Jen to brighten my day! ❤
YES THIS exactly. Glad to be on that journey with you!
Yup subscribed..
Love these videos….
I’ve been watching you for about 4 years now..found you via Journey’s with Jen ( formerly Jen’s Happy Home) LOVE it…so glad I found you…
Looking forward to all of this years videos,journeys and travel companions..👍🇬🇧
Thanks you, Bronnie! You always leave such lovely comments and I appreciate it so much!
I don’t do Tik Tok. I look for UA-cam and longer videos like yours. Thank you for the transparency and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, Carmen!
You are always positive ,honest and encouraging, which is why I love your channel.
Ashlyn I appreciate that so much. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. The income portion is transparent and illuminating. What I appreciated most was hearing your thoughts on how you are taking stock and shifting in meaningful ways. Ones that might be counter to certain income growth. You are all about Joyful Living after all! Wishing you your best year yet!
thank you so much Bena! Your support through the years has meant a lot to me:).
Thank you for the transparency. As a person who's undergone a 3 year decluttering journey I appreciate not being marketed to. I'm more interested in motivation, you sharing your life experiences, honest reviews of things you actually pay for & used, etc. Have a happy new year.
My channel is always going to reflect the stage of life I'm in, and right now I'm just not buying a lot! And I love it! Glad to hear that's resonating with others, too.
I am so glad you feel called to do this. ❤
Thanks Christina!!! ☺
I enjoy all your content❤
Thank you so much!!
Happy Twenty TwentyFour Jen. You are beautiful inside and out.❤
Thank you so much, Will! I always appreciate you!
Thank you for just being you. Your videos are so pleasant to watch. I wish you all the best for 2014!
Wait are you sending this from the past? What is happening right now? And thank you for the kind words, Time Traveler!
I love watching these videos! 👏👏 it’s incredible and inspiring to watch what you’ve grown in your years as a creator. Thank you for sharing your insight and expertise. Happy new year!!!! ❤
Thank you, Dear Friend who loves me no matter what and is not objective at all….😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Thanks!
Oh thank you so much, Lynn!
Happy New Years. This year I am purging the thousands of pictures on my phone. I have a minimal house but a cluttered phone.
I need to do this too!!
Thanks for this honest informative video. Love your channel looking forward to more in 2024
Thank you so much - I will do my best!
Thank you. Please do a video on pre-check /global entry application if you haven’t done so. Great sharing thanks 🙏
Thank you for this extremely informative review video. I’ve been following both your channels for over 4years. I continue to watch you on Joyful Living. You definitely advise & teach me something on every video while being so positively entertaining. May 2024 bring you great personal success. Hope to meet you this year, on one of your jaunts to Disney. (I live in the Orlando area & have been an avid WDW follower.) 😎🌴
Thank you so much, Carey!!
Thanks to your help, I just returned home from a family vacation to Disney World. I only bought 3 things. A sweatshirt because I was cold, a blanket for our home, and the 100th Loungefly, because I really wanted it and it was on sale+ my AP Discount! Big improvement from a lot of my trips. Also I'm trying to clean closets and remove things from my house that are not needed or used.
Such a better way to live both for our sanity and our pocketbooks!
First of all, love your videos! You’re one of my favorite UA-camrs and I don’t watch short content and I really appreciate that you still put the same amount of energy in your videos. Because I can also see a change where people tend to upload less, because they’re making more on TikTok etc. I’m from Europe and I’m going to Walt Disney world this year for the first time and I am sure that I will use your videos to prepare, because I really trust your reviews ! So thank you so much for this.
I had one question, maybe I’m mistaken but, I somehow (mis)remember that you said in the past that you did Patreon so that you never have to do sponsored content. If that’s true, could you let me know what has changed if you feel comfortable about it ?
Thank you for your content and without trying to be weird, but I really love your hair in this video :)
Great question! And yes years ago I absolutely said that. But with the full support of my patrons (it was a whole discussion over there:), I decided to occasionally work with brands if they met the criteria I discussed in this video. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!
Love these videos every year! With the channel change, do you still intend to do a Disney cruise line concierge review video?
Hey, Tiffany! I'm actually not going to do that video in all likelihood but feel free to DM me on instagram if you have any specific questions. I'm @jenlefforge there.
Just a thought, if you are concerned about losing income with doing only 1 video a week, maybe you can consider doing one vlog style video and then one content focused video a week. The vlog style could be a less edited, day(s) in your life type of video that (hopefully) wouldn’t take up too much time or require too much prep but would still allow you to post twice a week. I, personally, would love to see what you get up to on a regular basis. No matter what, I will look forward to your videos whenever they come out! Happy New Year, Jen!
It's so cool to see someone around my age who is also a UA-cam creator. We need more mid-life women UA-cam creators.
I agree!!
Hi there Jennifer
Yes to not buying things anymore! 🙌
And also I need some cutting boards. 😂
See? It’s a whole thing….😂😂😂
You mentioned your virtual assistant. I am a busy doctor, mom, wife and have considered hiring either an in person or virtual assistant. I have hesitated because I just don't know how that would work. I would think that it would take longer for me to explain to the assistant what to do than just doing it myself, but yet I constantly find myself stretched too thin. I don't know if it would be "good content" for you to talk about this on a video here or on patreon, but I would find it very helpful!! Thanks.
My VA works particularly in social media and for content creators, but I got fantastic advice when I was considering it: write down or screen shot everything you do in a day or a week that you feel someone else might be able to tackle. That way, if you do decide to hire, you have a working list of actual tasks and in the case of screen recording actual tutorials on how to do those things. I get the feeling of it being just one more thing to manage, I really do, and it would have to be the right person!
Ms. Lefforge, I had a pair of earrings that look similar to the earrings you are wearing in this video. I lost them on a trip. Would you happen to have a link for the earrings? Thank you so much for your content. It is calming to view your videos.
Sure thing! They are from Nordstrom and they are from a brand called Argento Vivo - hopefully you can find them!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Thank you for responding so quickly.
This is off topic, but I want to thank you for saving me. You did a video on taking progesterone. I pushed my doctors to prescribe it and it’s been a revelation for my sleep!
OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS! I'm mentioning it again in next week's video and I almost wondered if it's something I should talk about so THANK YOU for that! And SAME, Liz. GAME CHANGER.
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge ❤️❤️❤️

If you don't post on the other channel for 90 days YT will stop paying ad revenue. Not sure you are aware of that.
Interesting I did NOT know that! I’ll have to post some shorts:) actually looks like that may not apply in my circumstance but I’ll reach out to them!
Actually looks like as long as I still meet the threshold they will keep paying. Although they reserve the right to demonitize the channel. Eventually I’m sure I won’t meet the watch hour requirement anymore but that shouldnt happen for awhile. Thanks for caring!
I am so inspired by you to start my own UA-cam - which I did start posting videos back in 2020. But then my kids had gone back to school fall 2021 and some of my sons friends found me on Instagram and used it as a bullying incentive. So Instagram is now private - and I blocked as many kids as I Could. I want to be a UA-cam creator but am thinking I need to wait another 5 years until my youngest graduates highschool . Is it possible for me to post - leave them completely out of the videos - and pray to not be found by kids. 🤔 I do have a blog that I am focused on trying to grow!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
