      非常贊成您所說的...我是一位台灣媽媽.我覺得現在的文明社會造成很多問題,很多年紀輕的年幼的孩子因為長輩同儕因為社群媒體...因為課業因為社交...他們不快樂他們生病了...這是很令人難過的..我們大人不也應該有責任嗎??

    She is lovely. I think all women go through a version of this. A deep longing to be enough as we are, not being something or someone for our parents, partners or society. Freedom to be me.

      I agree that she is lovely and wonderfully unique. However, I can assure you men long to be enough as we are, and not seen as just providers or strong internally or stoic or a rock or what have you. Look at society today and see how many men are driven by achievement and recognition instead of being truly peaceful within themselves. "Bitter min" as they say in Afrikaans.

      Actually, I believe that more and more people seek this. As traditional ways of life are failing people, they are reaching out to true authenticity, spiritually, through meditation, through doing soul searching, through creating and supporting videos like this, through returning to hands on arts. There is hope. I see it more and more.

      @@CLine-zj1et You come across as to be on your high horse, responding with one phrase in your original comment, and then added one single line in answer to my response to you.
      But I will add a few, so there can be a conversation (isn't this why you posted your comment on a platform in the first place and responded again)
      I for one didn't get your response in regard to this video. The lady just explains about her life, no referral to ancestry, reincarnation, 'spirituality', etc....
      Secondly, I have journeyed through Buddhism now to Daoism from an early age. At a very young age and later in my life as well I experienced generational trauma, and forms of spirituality that are hard to explain, but were about guidance. Also Satori has made me come home, experiencing non-duality.
      This is all not important, for it is my road, we all have unique roads to travel.
      There is a lot of pretentious talk about 'love peace and happiness, being all spiritual and connected'; tbh I often miss these not talking the talk, but walking the walk.
      As Jung said: "One does not become enlightened by making figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious'".
      Still curious what you meant with your comment after watching the video.
      Wishing you the best on your journey

      Solitude is a blessing 🙏 ✨ 🙌 💖 ❤ 💕 Loneliness is a messy and painful place where you have to find your own unique heart's knowledge and delight. You can be joyous by looking at everything that is beautiful, it is a blessing, and slowly and steadily becoming more present in the mystery of living in each precious moment of being alive. Forgive the past and don't seek answers from the future. Life is precious and fragile and immediate. You are creating with your own unique focused attention. Be present in the mystery and follow your own dream and your passions of being alive with love and kindness for yourself and your life now, as it is now. Enjoy the blessings around you. Trust yourself and believe in yourself and your life. Nature is healing. Love is always the way of being alive with joyous celebration. Breathe in and out and stay grounded in the present moment. Simply being present and unafraid. Relax. Do what you love.

    Her statement that she lost her father at 12 years of age and that her family became adrift after his passing is very thought provoking. In this 24/7 world where everything is fast paced and where a person's success is measured by their income and material possessions, I wonder how many of today's children feel emotionally and spiritually adrift - feel as if their world is not anchored. Not because they do not have loving parents but because both parents are working to give their children a lifestlye that is deemed correct and beneficial by society.

      I believe that behavior indicates or demonstrates that each person is a product of their own life experience. If someone is a bully, it is, usually, because they were bullied. And, so, they have learned to get others first, before they get bullied again. They have armed themselves. It's very sad. I try to consider what may have happened to a person to make them who they are in the present moment. That 'knowing' or understanding fills me with compassion. And I pray for them. 💕

    I am on this courageous, vulnerable and magnificent journey to the TRUE ME now after the deep grief and hidden gift of the end of my marriage a couple years ago 🥰 I think Brene Brown says it best: “ Fitting in is becoming who you think you need to be in order to be accepted and loved. Belonging is being your authentic self, and knowing no matter what happens, you belong to you!” 💜

    This episode really resonated with me! Having grown up in the sixties, then with a father who changed totally with a series of strokes, I’ve just realised how much I had to blend in, become colourless so as not to upset anyone. I too don’t know who I am anymore and am tired of being something I’m not. But what struck me the most was how much colour there is in this lady’s life! She is beautiful, her house is beautiful and so is the absolutely stunning place she lives in. I’ve realised From watching this that I am still colourless and have even stopped reading books over the last few years. I am a nothing and it needs to change before it’s too late! Thank you for once again presenting us with such a wonderful episode.

    I truly relate to Beth. I also was a teen in the 60's . I was very heavy. Most people did not have weight problems . I also was taking diet pills , trying diet fads. I tried it all. Nothing worked. Plus I also worked in the family business and that was "Fast food" . When my dad bought another fast food joint I got "50" pounds heavier. I should have quit but getting a different kind of job was not so easy back in that time. People did not want to hire you being very large. Plus I felt I would be letting my family down by not helping them . Self respect, image confidence it all was gone and still is. I did lose the weight . Thank you Beth. I also love books.

    Ok, first...what a great opening line! (Kudo's to the editor - made me immediately love her!) Beth - you speak for so many of us...all the precious life energy we spent thinking about & trying to be thin, to squeeze ourselves into cartoon-like images of who we were told to be, the limited kinds of lives we were conditioned to go after, how our focus was always without, not within. I related SO much to everything you said. Daughter of a dad employed by Disneyland for 60 years now, I grew up watching all the movies telling me to wait for the Prince to come swoop me away. And, like you, my first marriage seemed to be all about working out my daddy issues. You described the experience of being lost so well, how there's no making sense of life when you've done everything you thought you should do but you're dying inside, and how when you're in the middle of it, the pain of it feels way too big to find words for. But women like you, Beth, become the compass for the next generation. Because you pressed on past the pain and found your way, others can see what's possible. (I did NOT see where this story was headed...what helped you - that part of the film was such a surprise and delight!) Freedom looks good on you, girlfriend. You radiate beauty and light. And your story is already going out into the world impacting so many of us. Thank you. And Michael, the beauty you capture with your camera is other worldly - transcendent. Once again...a well deserved "Bravo" to you all.

    I relate to so much of this. From losing my father at the age of 14, which was a huge loss in my life. After that I also didn't seem to have a compass leading me in the right direction. I too got into drugs and alcohol to not feel or see within me. I dealt with a lot of self image issues, an obsession with my weight. Such an awful way to live, never loving yourself or accepting yourself.

I hopped into a convenient marriage aged 19, ended aged 23 . I married a man who loved me for ME , I lost him suddenly and tragically after 12 years . We have a beautiful son now age 26 and stepping out for his own life…i am SO proud of the man he has become. I am FREE now to be ME …of course I am always there for him firsthand..and that will never change . I would love to re marry a beautiful soul and share a beautiful life with the love miss so much in my life . I guess I’ve felt most of my life that I wasn’t worthy of honest love …having lost that previously in my life .

I'm following my true path for the very first time in my life and that is happiness to me. I've been freeing myself from the past, from toxic relationships, from toxic work places and, most importantly, from resentment and guilt. It is inner work and I believe this is a life long journey. I'm ready because the route becomes the destination. Remember that we learn the most important lessons during the hardest times of your lives.Turn pain into purpose and your life will transform in a positive way you would have never imagined!

    A man will never fill the spot inside. Faith and knowing ourselves first in order to be happy and fulfilled. It's all internal to find peace

    This channel came up in my recommendations and boy am I glad. I so appreciate her words and message. I'm still trying to figure it all out myself. Middle-aged and a lifetime of errors, missteps and regret have made the road a mess many times over. Not as bumpy as it was, but still working on finding the right place to be. I aspire to have more self-appreciation and acceptance and a more peaceful mind-set like this lovely lady seems to have. On another note, maybe she'll see this and consider getting a little step up for the day bed that her pups seems to enjoy. We all could use a little help here and there when we start to get on in the years. 😊

      Thank you Jennifer, for finding such value in these stories. Ups and downs are part of the magnificent journey of life - I suppose it's about finding the lessons in the messy parts, and using that to move forward and create something beautiful. We send you love. 💚

    This lady is a sweet soul sister.....even down to her bright head wraps & leggings that I too wear. To be authentic, truly embodied with life, open, receptive, active....free and liberated from thought and conditioning - whole and complete. One of my favourite sayings "Its never too late to be great"....to fully imbue life with magnificence...

    Earl Nightengale once said that, “The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice…it's conformity.”
    All my long life , since being a little boy, I was told how I should act, how I should look, how I should think, but never how to be me.

    Favorite quotes from this installment (Beth Hunt):
    "No matter what is going on out there, we have to come home to ourselves, to within. And within never changes, that is where our core is, that is where our soul is."
    "I want to be authentic….. Being authentic is about freedom. Being authentic liberates you…. It must be reaching the summit of the mountain when you can actually arrive at the top and say I am free because I am me... truly me."
    Thank you Beth❤️

    That was such a beautiful talk and i felt her so much. I growed up in a children's home since i was 13. I had abusive parents, so i could never built an identity and a Self. If you can't build an identity as a child, than you become a needy adult, because you have no idea how to search for freedom in yourself. I'm glad she made it:)

We are all together as members of the human beings who are going through this process with a new perspective and a great opportunity for unity and creating a life that is peaceful and sustainable for our future survival. We are powerful in our truth and our creativity and the love for all life and the environment 💜. We will learn from this process and we will make the necessary changes to create a sanctuary for all life to be able to finally heal and grow in abundance and beauty.

    She's so softly but beautifully spoken. As well as a beautiful human it seems. Quite pretty. It seems she's found a peaceful life joy contintement. A lovely and loving life partner. I like to say she found her "person". We all don't find that.... I'm 59 and still haven't found my "person" or my containment/joy/peace in life. Where she lives looks very soothing calm and quaint as well. Which would be so lovely. I dream of moving to a cottage somewhere. But life doesn't always afford what we want.
    I love this story, can relate so much. And feel so much happiness for her that she has abundance. Be bold and stay blessed 🦋🐦🦋🐦❣️
