I don't comment very often, but the other year when you were feeling low I remember commenting that I felt the same, and you replied. It really helped me. When I was in my early 20s I got in to an awful relationship. Everyone could see it but me. It ended very messy with me having to be taken out of work place as he said he was going to kill me. Anyway after him I felt so judged like who is she going to being home next !! I wasn't just how my brain works. Im now 42 married to the most amazing kind and caring man and I have 2 children, back with my ex I would never have seen this happening. Im so Happy for you that you have found your happiness.
Listening to you open up about your past and sharing how you met your love had me genuinely excited and happy for you. Good things come to those who wait and girl you deserve only the best. Wishing you every happiness with your move and your future ❤️.
Another silent viewer here! I’m so happy that you feel so much better and self confident than a couple of years ago. I remember your vlogs when Covid hit and you didn’t feel so good. My mental health also went downhill, so I could relate. Now, a couple of years later, I started and finished therapy, got rid of my anxiety, moved and got into a great job and I‘m a different (and truely happy) person now. I hope, your equally as proud as we are for your progress and for pushing trough and filming this video! I wish you and your boyfriend the best time!
Sending all the visual hugs! ❤ Man you look and act so much like my best friend here. She also reacts a similar way and just letting her talk and get it out releases a lot of the tense feelings even if it doesn't fix everything in that moment. You seem a very empathetic person like her where emotions can change how you react and deal with situations. Honestly I am so proud of you and seeing how far you have came and overcome. Seeing your stress desolve to when you were talking about your current boyfriend shows the type of guy he is and makes me really happy you see him as a safe space. I wish you guys all the best! I'm going through my own relationship stuff at the moment and it's tough especially early 30s being like is this right for me now. Being on a break and hearing from 8 plus close friends and family how much more confident, happy, relaxed I seem. It's also hard as have been in a relationship for many years that doesn't seem to serve me well. I'm hoping to get some of your clarity soon. It's a lot of big choices to make and it's overwhelming to lose that too. I'm so happy you felt you could share with us. Besides the few haters we all have your back, wish we were there to give you the hug and want good things for you. ❤ you have grown so much stronger and more your own person the past few years and can't wait to see you get there!
Big virtual hugs to you Rachel I can understand how hard that might have been for you.. when you been through trauma in life it’s natural to cave in, and feel a sense of paranoia that if I going to be too happy and share stuff i am going to spoil things, we always blame ourself and start the loop of self sabotage i have been there myself. So you have done so well to let us in to this part of your life. When the right time be for you I am sure you will let us know if you are moving in with him and where.. and also his name 😊. Lots of love Rachel your a strong and amazing women never forget that xx ps so genuinely happy for you xx❤❤
I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now and watching you feel more confident in being more vulnerable about your personal life, including your relationship, is really beautiful to watch ❤ I tend to also put my guard up when it comes to dating and relationships because of previous experiences not working out, but seeing you find genuine happiness gives me hope and makes me believe that things really work out when the time is right (learning to let go of expectations and being in patient when you know what you want). Thanks for sharing again and good luck with the move, Rachel!😊
Did you have to come back home to start process to come to Canada again? Will this give you landed immigrant status? Hoping all the paperwork get done soon. Also, hope that the desires of your heart to become a wife and mother come into fruition . How many years were you in Toronto? Were you working in business or always self employed? Since I have been following you, you have been self employed. Wishing you the best!
It’s crazy to think that you were growing through so much when I have always seen you as a motivator to try and step into the world more confidently myself. I’m very happy to hear that the strength I saw, and based on the comments many others as well, is now visible to you too :)
Hi Rachelle. It’s so great that you’re still with your boyfriend and that you’re going to be with him. Do you happen to know when it will all take place? Will you and your boyfriend be staying where he is living too? I do wish you all the happiness for you both and also good health for you too . I always appreciate the fact that you have always and still do share your life and also are honest (when you’re ready) with your viewers and honest when you feel the time is right too to say what’s going on with you and your life. God bless good luck and hugs to you always.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️
pausing the video to comment, you probably know this rationally and hopefully emotionally as well after all the work you did, but you are most definitely not a bad person or making bad decisions! I can totally relate to what you're saying, for me it wasn't as bad as having to go to court, however the emotional damage that narcissist did was awful. I truly wish you the best moving forward with your relationship and you can be so proud of yourself! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and for your kind words 💛 I’m sorry you had to go through all of that 💛💛 the emotional damage left from narcissists is just devastating. It sounds like you’ve moved through it and it warms my heart to have you leave this comment
@@rachelleea aw thank you so much, I'm actually tearing up right 😿 I've definitely made great progress and have a much more positive look on me and my life and seeing others share their story helps so so much, so thank you too❤
Would love to be able to give you a hug. You are such a beautiful person. Never forget that even though you are a you-tube-preneur and it is (probaly) partly an income stream for you YOU ARE ENTITLED to a private life. Not everything is up to being shared.
Auwww when you were flustered and talking really fast, i was like “i wish i can just hug her” and then later on you said you wish we would just come out of the screen and hug you. I could feel you need a hug so baddd❤
45, I started doing 45 mins because when I was in Austin it would take me 45 mins to walk around the whole suburb so my goal became 45. While I was in Toronto I was walking for 1 hour 25 to 1.5 hours and now I just try to hit 45 mins 💛
Long time subscriber here as well 😉 It looks like you had something to get out of your chest, it almost showed physically, and you did! So well done for that. It takes courage to open up and share private matters, especially hurting ones and especially on a large platform like here. Really happy to hear that you're on the right pass and that you're doing better. Wish you to be happy.
You've got this‼️🎉🎉🎉🎉Don't worry about what other people think of you as my hubby tells ne and I think you are an amazing and kind woman. Just ignore the haters!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Perhaps the anxiety is because you have to pack up and travel again and you’ve also been waiting for so long for the visa etc to be sorted out. You keep looking after yourself. Sending you hugs lovely lady. I’m so very very happy for you and your boyfriend. Lots of love to you ❤
If I could absolutely jump through the screen and give you a hug I would!! I know you don't share all of you online, but I do feel I relate to so much of your personality and if we ever met we would absolutely get along!! And if jumping through the screen to give you a hug means I could be back in Australia for a moment, then that's just a bonus!! All of this packing is taking me back to July last year, packing up my life into two suitcases (I also shipped some things over hahaha) and moved to the UK. I love hearing about your relationship and am so happy for you :)
Ive paused to comment and just say how happy I am for you and how proud of you. To push through with letting us into your life a little bit more personally was a big thing for you but you did it ❤ Thank you for letting us in ❤️
I’m so happy for you Rachel that you’re in such a wonderful relationship. My husband and I did the same at the beginning of our relationship in terms of discussing what we wanted. We were both 30, so talked about marriage, kids etc. Anyway, I’m so glad you two had that chat at the beginning so you both know where you’re going in your relationship. So important. Anyway, excuse the ramble 😅 Have a great week! ❤
Sweet sweet Rachel, I wish I could give you a real hug but here's a virtual one 🫂💏🤗. I'm so sorry that you started doubting yourself because it had nothing to do with you sweet friend. These life lessons are unfortunately very hard sometimes but we grow as a person because of them. I'm very happy for you that you are in a healthy/happy relationship now and wish you all the best! 🙏❤☀️🍀🌼
I’ve been a subscriber for a few years & watching you grow & feel more confident is wonderful ❤ I’m a VERY private person about relationships because of previous experiences & truthfully, it’s none of our business, despite how open some other influencers are. What I’m curious about is, if you’ll be moving back to the GTA, or where in Canada, you’ll be settling next? (if I’m being too nosey, please don’t feel that you have to answer that) Thanks for sharing & good luck with the move! Also, your comment about the dead lilies, nearly made me spit my wine out with laughter. The sugar/vinegar thing doesn’t work for bulbs. They’ll open rapidly in high heat. Even in the Spring, its best to get a needle (esp for lilies & tulips) & give the stem a little prick close to the bloom, so they won’t droop. I don’t like Martha Stewart, but she does have a good book, with all kinds of tips about flowers called, Arranging Flowers: The Best of Martha Stewart Living.
Not nosey at all, I’ve been advised not to talk details of moving publicly while everything is processing. Wish I could but I want to keep everything in order and do what they say. Once’s I’ve got the green light, I’ll share everything 😊
No matter what others think of you, please always know you are beautiful and smart lady ❤❤❤ P. S. To save on weight maybe buy reusable toiletry items empty containers set and transfer items you want to take with you in these containers? You can use them in the future for flying. And not having glass helps with keeping the weight down in the luggage
I’m sorry to hear you had a lot of mental abuse it truly does ruin your confidence and always second guessing yourself/everything. I’m pleased you’re in a better place. All the best in this chapter of ❤️
Thank you for sharing Rach. I couldn't imagine what a big step that was. Longggg time subscriber, and it's so amazing to see how far you've come. So inspiring! Big hugs & much love ❤️
Yay! I'm so happy for you. I don't blame ya for wanting to keep your personal life hush, hush.😂 And girl, you are an expert at packing that luggage. Have a Blessed week.
Aw, I so wish I could just give you a massive hug. Thank you for sharing so much. I totally understand putting up a steel wall and trying to stay in control of the narrative. I’m sure you know this, but you are not a bad person at all. I watch your channel because I often feel like I’m just catching up with one of my friends over a cup of tea 🥰 anyway, so excited for your new chapter, and new life with your boyfriend. He sound amazing and most importantly like someone who matches your love and energy x
Rachel, thank you for sharing your personal life with us. We can see how difficult it is for you to share and we appreciate you and certainly do not judge you. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. When you mentioned wanting us to climb into the screen because you needed a hug. I felt that and literally teared up. You have been an inspiration for us all for a long time and we just want to see you happy. I’ve also just moved over seas and it’s been emotional. Waiting for visas is so frustrating. I’m still waiting. I completely relate to what you’re saying. I married my husband 14 months after meeting him, we have been together 9 years and have two beautiful children together. A girl and a boy. We’re still in love. I’m so glad I pursued my crazy ideas. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your chin up girl. You’ve got this and we’re all behind you. ❤️
Omg what a fabulous story. Thank you so much for sharing. Ugh warms my heart so much. I feel like I'm tearing up reading this. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Rachel as a virtual friend im soo proud of you and your growth, you almost got me in tears here 🥹 Im so happy for you also and excited to see where all this takes you. Loved being a part of your life for the past years and excited for whats to come 🤍 You goo girl
I am sending you hugs, you have come a long way and you should be very proud I’m proud of you!! It takes a lot of courage to show yourself on camera and be very honest to the world, I feel like you have explained everything very well and I feel like you should tell us only what you’re comfortable with because this is your personal life and your personal choices, people aren’t always nice and your gonna have jealousy out there and as a result people will chime in and start leaving mean comments and advice of what you should be doing, now that being said I’m not saying this is gonna happen or that you shouldn’t share, I’m just saying that this is your life and your choices and at the end of the day you’re the one that has to live with them as does each of us. I’m not sure how my comment has come off I hope that it doesn’t say that I’m being mean, I’m trying to say that I’m very proud of your progress and I don’t want you to have to deal with any negativity that may come but as long as your comfortable sharing I will stand with you. I hope this makes sense and I haven’t confused or offended anyone definitely NOT my intentions.
thank you so much 💛 all good vibes from your comment. Totally agree, I fear the people who want to chime in with something negative cause I know it'll hurt more than I think I can handle. Thanks so much for your msg
@@rachelleea You’re so welcome! I feel that way too whenever I tell someone about a situation in my life mainly because all my life I’ve been told what I should do and this how I need to do it. It took me a long time (years) to finally come out and say what was really on my mind in those times. I have learned that I’m the one who has to live with their decisions and i just had enough. 😁😁 My hope is that the rest of this world would see life this way. Again I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to see what this year brings have a good week!❤️
Awww sending you a giant hug. That took courage to be open and vulnerable about all these things. Your new chapter is going to be and is really wonderful. (going to go back to watching; just had to pause and give you a hug!) XX
Thank you so much for telling us your story I am sure it will help lots of ppl not feel alone. You seem really happy and confident in yourself in the last few years Canada was the exact place you were ment to be.
دارى على شمعتك تدوم، Shield your candle light and it will last. Your instincts not to share make sense and you should always trust. Not that I am complaining, I love to hear about your life you help me gain perspective into mine but keeping things to you and not sharing is correct and sharing when ready is perfect.
Thank you for opening up about your past. I agree regarding the things moving fast when we are in our 30s. I meet my husband after a crap relationship and it was also because I took the time to work through things and know what I wanted in life and in a partner. Good luck with everything, can't wait to see your next chapter unfold...
Oh Rachelle, I’m just so happy for you! The way you talk about your bf you can tell just how wonderful + healthy your relationship is! Makes me reminisce about when I met and dated my now husband. Such a beautiful time in life to cherish! Thankyou for sharing xx (Listened while cleaning up the house - felt like I had company 😄)
Awww, I wish I could give you a hug 🥰 I’m really am proud of you Rachel, you’ve become an inspiring big sister to me and been with you for a long time now. Not the beginning but long enough to be following along on your journey. Love you & I hope I can meet you one day to really give you that hug ❤
You are truly such a sweet soul! I love love watching your videos and they are never too long. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness with your love! God bless!
Great video! Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier just to take an extra case then you wouldn’t have to ship anything or stress about things fitting. If your toiletries and hair tool are anything like mine, they’ll be more than 2-3 kg 😂
Thats true but the issue would then be buying an extra suitcase I don't need and that feels wasteful and then it might end up being more to buy the suitcase and pay the extra luggage than to ship a box. But I'm not sure so I need to look into it 😊
I only have a spare small carry on and Im not sure its worth paying the extra for that plus I think I'm going to take my snowboard bag. I dunno I have so many options and dont know what to do 🙈@@kirstinstansbury2017
Naaawww Rachel big hugs to you!!! That would’ve been so much to open up about all that!! 🥺🥺👏👏You did it, I got emotional too!! You’re amazing!! So proud of you!! Yay to you having power over it now. Omg yay to moving. ❤❤🎉
Loves and hugs for you dear Rachelleea!! Congratulations on the steel wall being shattered. Don’t let it creep in. All power to you!! Sending you hugs through the screen 😂
That was beautiful. Thank you. Sooooo happy for you. You know it’s the right person if you make eachother better. Sounds like your experience. Lovely!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☺️
Thank you for talking about everything. I don't know if I missed something or if you want to keep it a secret, but I feel like I totally missed where you are moving to? US, Canada, Europe?
Can't talk about the details yet, I've been advised to not share my intentions until everything has been approved. Its driving me nuts cause I want to talk about it but I've seen so many horror stories of denials when people share what their plans are 😩
I'm so happy for you that you found someone so special for an adult relationship! It's so great to see that you developed this way and learning so much about your true self. I appreciate your honesty and just want to ask you (if it's not to private) how he thinks about your job and the part of sharing personal things on social media. Did you talk about boundaries and other things?
Yeah we did talk about that kind of stuff. I always talk to him about what I am going to say in a video or what not. He trusts me though with how I say things. Its definitely going to be an adjustment when I do move. I've been doing this alone for such a long time I don't really know how to find the work/relationship balance but that'll be my first priority after moving. Figuring out a healthy way to do both things
@@rachelleea That sounds really healthy to me already - trust is so important in a relationship. I'm sure you will find a way to share what you (both) feel comfortable with. As a viewer I recognised that many partners/husbands/wifes develop and warm up to the camera. Some really start to enjoy being a part of their partner's channel. Greetings from Germany!
I’ve watched you for years and it’s so nice to see this side of you ! We have similar dating stories, and my now husband who started as a friend, definitely took down all of my walls. Best of luck to you! You are glowing ❤
So happy and proud of you for growing through this experience and not letting the past weigh you down any longer! Excited to see what this next chapter brings 🫶Sending a virtual hug!
Stepping ‘through the screen’ with a big hug and exciting jumping for this new chapter and wishing you all the best of luck from over here in the UK. ❤🎉
Thank you for sharing, that would have been so hard.. that’s one big step forward for you to conquer self worth. you are so worthy of this relationship and you deserve your happily ever after. GO YOU!!! i wish i could give you a big HUG!! 🤗
Hi Rachel! I just wanna say thank you! You inspire me so much and I feel so connected everytime I watch your videos and listen to your stories! Thank you for your update and I feel so happy for you! I wish you all the BEST 💚
German follower here too. I‘ve been following you for so long and I‘m genuinely happy for you. There is nothing wrong with travelling alone, liking to be alone, but with the right person life is just more fun. You deserve the best!
The audio is amazing now, even better! Love that you feel comfortable sharing with us 🫶 So exited to see your life blossoming into a great new chapter ✨
Watching this episode made me remember just how long I have watched you over the years. Your channel is a part of my day to day. Like a sister catching me up on her day. I love having you around.
As a viewer for about a year now, that has seen pretty much all of your videos, I can definitely say that you have a newfound calm about you, you seem very at ease not like every problem you had is solved magically now, but more like you have a certain peace and courage to try new things. I am very happy to see that in you and I truly wish everything goes on like this, smoothly and great!! ❤
I don't comment very often, but the other year when you were feeling low I remember commenting that I felt the same, and you replied. It really helped me. When I was in my early 20s I got in to an awful relationship. Everyone could see it but me. It ended very messy with me having to be taken out of work place as he said he was going to kill me.

Im now 42 married to the most amazing kind and caring man and I have 2 children, back with my ex I would never have seen this happening. Im so Happy for you that you have found your happiness.
Listening to you open up about your past and sharing how you met your love had me genuinely excited and happy for you. Good things come to those who wait and girl you deserve only the best. Wishing you every happiness with your move and your future ❤️.
I didn't realise theres an entire piece of music at the end. I've cut it off in the UA-cam editor but it may take a few hours to remove 🙈
Congrats with your new chapter. Proud of you and your growth. Hugs!
Thank you so much! 💛

I am happy you are not alone anymore. It îs good to have a family of your own. I wait to see you în the new house.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Where are you moving?
Happy you feel better about yourself now!

Random question, how many minutes do you walk per day in your daily walks? xoxo
45, I started doing 45 mins because when I was in Austin it would take me 45 mins to walk around the whole suburb so my goal became 45. While I was in Toronto I was walking for 1 hour 25 to 1.5 hours and now I just try to hit 45 mins 💛

Not nosey at all, I’ve been advised not to talk details of moving publicly while everything is processing. Wish I could but I want to keep everything in order and do what they say. Once’s I’ve got the green light, I’ll share everything 😊
Oh awesome thanks for the tip. It was super warm in here and they bloomed and died so quick. I’ll try the pin thing next time. Thank you 💛💛
I'm here for the tea 🍵👀
No matter what others think of you, please always know you are beautiful and smart lady ❤❤❤
P. S. To save on weight maybe buy reusable toiletry items empty containers set and transfer items you want to take with you in these containers? You can use them in the future for flying. And not having glass helps with keeping the weight down in the luggage
Thank you so much, thats a great tip ❤️❤️❤️
If I ever meet you, I’m gonna give you the longest hug ever haha I really really like you, you have such a nice personality ❤ love from Argentina
I’m sorry to hear you had a lot of mental abuse it truly does ruin your confidence and always second guessing yourself/everything. I’m pleased you’re in a better place. All the best in this chapter of ❤️
Your journey is your own, and I can see you smile when the thoughts of your boyfriend and future life. Sending love and hugs from England Lesley xx
Thank you for sharing Rach. I couldn't imagine what a big step that was. Longggg time subscriber, and it's so amazing to see how far you've come. So inspiring! Big hugs & much love ❤️
Yay! I'm so happy for you. I don't blame ya for wanting to keep your personal life hush, hush.😂 And girl, you are an expert at packing that luggage. Have a Blessed week.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Aw, I so wish I could just give you a massive hug. Thank you for sharing so much. I totally understand putting up a steel wall and trying to stay in control of the narrative. I’m sure you know this, but you are not a bad person at all. I watch your channel because I often feel like I’m just catching up with one of my friends over a cup of tea 🥰 anyway, so excited for your new chapter, and new life with your boyfriend. He sound amazing and most importantly like someone who matches your love and energy x
Rachel, thank you for sharing your personal life with us. We can see how difficult it is for you to share and we appreciate you and certainly do not judge you. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. When you mentioned wanting us to climb into the screen because you needed a hug. I felt that and literally teared up. You have been an inspiration for us all for a long time and we just want to see you happy. I’ve also just moved over seas and it’s been emotional. Waiting for visas is so frustrating. I’m still waiting. I completely relate to what you’re saying. I married my husband 14 months after meeting him, we have been together 9 years and have two beautiful children together. A girl and a boy. We’re still in love. I’m so glad I pursued my crazy ideas. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your chin up girl. You’ve got this and we’re all behind you. ❤️
Omg what a fabulous story. Thank you so much for sharing. Ugh warms my heart so much. I feel like I'm tearing up reading this. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Rachel as a virtual friend im soo proud of you and your growth, you almost got me in tears here 🥹 Im so happy for you also and excited to see where all this takes you. Loved being a part of your life for the past years and excited for whats to come 🤍 You goo girl
Sending you a big virtual hug from Northern Ireland! God bless you and your boyfriend! Love Rachel
Sending you the biggest hug!!!! Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to digitally tagging along on your upcoming journeys 🫶🏼
I am sending you hugs, you have come a long way and you should be very proud I’m proud of you!! It takes a lot of courage to show yourself on camera and be very honest to the world, I feel like you have explained everything very well and I feel like you should tell us only what you’re comfortable with because this is your personal life and your personal choices, people aren’t always nice and your gonna have jealousy out there and as a result people will chime in and start leaving mean comments and advice of what you should be doing, now that being said I’m not saying this is gonna happen or that you shouldn’t share, I’m just saying that this is your life and your choices and at the end of the day you’re the one that has to live with them as does each of us. I’m not sure how my comment has come off I hope that it doesn’t say that I’m being mean, I’m trying to say that I’m very proud of your progress and I don’t want you to have to deal with any negativity that may come but as long as your comfortable sharing I will stand with you. I hope this makes sense and I haven’t confused or offended anyone definitely NOT my intentions.
thank you so much 💛 all good vibes from your comment. Totally agree, I fear the people who want to chime in with something negative cause I know it'll hurt more than I think I can handle. Thanks so much for your msg
@@rachelleea You’re so welcome! I feel that way too whenever I tell someone about a situation in my life mainly because all my life I’ve been told what I should do and this how I need to do it. It took me a long time (years) to finally come out and say what was really on my mind in those times. I have learned that I’m the one who has to live with their decisions and i just had enough. 😁😁 My hope is that the rest of this world would see life this way. Again I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to see what this year brings have a good week!❤️
Awww sending you a giant hug. That took courage to be open and vulnerable about all these things. Your new chapter is going to be and is really wonderful. (going to go back to watching; just had to pause and give you a hug!) XX
Dear Rachel, I loved your way of telling. I wish you all the best and that you achieve what you wish for. I never said thank you, so Thank You!
Thank you so much for telling us your story I am sure it will help lots of ppl not feel alone.
You seem really happy and confident in yourself in the last few years Canada was the exact place you were ment to be.
Been a subscriber for a long time!! Proud of you, rachel. Here, lets hug🫶🏻🫶🏻
I'm so happy for you Rachel. I've been here since you lived in Brisbane and it's wonderful to see you so happy.
aw thank you so much Libby ❤️❤️
دارى على شمعتك تدوم،
Shield your candle light and it will last.
Your instincts not to share make sense and you should always trust. Not that I am complaining, I love to hear about your life you help me gain perspective into mine but keeping things to you and not sharing is correct and sharing when ready is perfect.
Thank you for opening up about your past. I agree regarding the things moving fast when we are in our 30s. I meet my husband after a crap relationship and it was also because I took the time to work through things and know what I wanted in life and in a partner. Good luck with everything, can't wait to see your next chapter unfold...
Thanks for sharing, that makes me so happy 💛💛
Oh Rachelle, I’m just so happy for you! The way you talk about your bf you can tell just how wonderful + healthy your relationship is! Makes me reminisce about when I met and dated my now husband. Such a beautiful time in life to cherish! Thankyou for sharing xx (Listened while cleaning up the house - felt like I had company 😄)
Big goals can feel like a maze.
Start small this week, and you'll find the exit.
Wow 🎉 it is a huge achievement and a remarkable personal growth! Bravo! Must have been a lot of work
Awww, I wish I could give you a hug 🥰
I’m really am proud of you Rachel, you’ve become an inspiring big sister to me and been with you for a long time now. Not the beginning but long enough to be following along on your journey.
Love you & I hope I can meet you one day to really give you that hug ❤
aw thank you so much, I will totally take you up on that hug 🥰💛🧡❤️
@@rachelleea 🤗🥰
You are truly such a sweet soul! I love love watching your videos and they are never too long. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness with your love! God bless!
Thank you for sharing your story!
Love it so much
Great video! Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier just to take an extra case then you wouldn’t have to ship anything or stress about things fitting. If your toiletries and hair tool are anything like mine, they’ll be more than 2-3 kg 😂
Thats true but the issue would then be buying an extra suitcase I don't need and that feels wasteful and then it might end up being more to buy the suitcase and pay the extra luggage than to ship a box. But I'm not sure so I need to look into it 😊
@@rachelleea ah of course! I was thinking of you already having the extra case 😂
I only have a spare small carry on and Im not sure its worth paying the extra for that plus I think I'm going to take my snowboard bag. I dunno I have so many options and dont know what to do 🙈@@kirstinstansbury2017
Love hearing you open up and share. So proud of you for doing the hard work to overcome your past ❤
Naaawww Rachel big hugs to you!!! That would’ve been so much to open up about all that!! 🥺🥺👏👏You did it, I got emotional too!! You’re amazing!! So proud of you!! Yay to you having power over it now. Omg yay to moving. ❤❤🎉
Loves and hugs for you dear Rachelleea!! Congratulations on the steel wall being shattered. Don’t let it creep in. All power to you!!
Sending you hugs through the screen 😂
Thank you so much!! 💛🧡💛
You are my favourite by far! Sending you the biggest warmest virtual hug 🤗 Wishing you a very happy future and life ❤
awww thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing ❤️ all the best on your travels ✈️
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
hugs
That was beautiful. Thank you. Sooooo happy for you. You know it’s the right person if you make eachother better. Sounds like your experience. Lovely!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☺️
Thank you so much! 💛💛💛
thank you for sharing!! **virtual hugs to you** 💕
Thank you for talking about everything. I don't know if I missed something or if you want to keep it a secret, but I feel like I totally missed where you are moving to? US, Canada, Europe?
Can't talk about the details yet, I've been advised to not share my intentions until everything has been approved. Its driving me nuts cause I want to talk about it but I've seen so many horror stories of denials when people share what their plans are 😩
@@rachelleea oh I never knew this. So crossing fingers everything runs well!
Thank you so much ❤ @@nadev4811
So happy for you Rachel😊🎉sending you hugs
Thank you so much 😊
sending a hug.. you are doing great! 💮
I'm so happy for you that you found someone so special for an adult relationship! It's so great to see that you developed this way and learning so much about your true self. I appreciate your honesty and just want to ask you (if it's not to private) how he thinks about your job and the part of sharing personal things on social media. Did you talk about boundaries and other things?
Yeah we did talk about that kind of stuff. I always talk to him about what I am going to say in a video or what not. He trusts me though with how I say things. Its definitely going to be an adjustment when I do move. I've been doing this alone for such a long time I don't really know how to find the work/relationship balance but that'll be my first priority after moving. Figuring out a healthy way to do both things
@@rachelleea That sounds really healthy to me already - trust is so important in a relationship. I'm sure you will find a way to share what you (both) feel comfortable with. As a viewer I recognised that many partners/husbands/wifes develop and warm up to the camera. Some really start to enjoy being a part of their partner's channel. Greetings from Germany!
Huge hugs
I love this! It's so great to watch you grow and put yourself out there! ❤
Thank you so much!! 💛💛
Excited to follow along on this new chapter of your life! Best wishes for the upcoming move.
I’ve watched you for years and it’s so nice to see this side of you ! We have similar dating stories, and my now husband who started as a friend, definitely took down all of my walls. Best of luck to you! You are glowing ❤
Oh I love that, thank you so much for sharing 💛🧡❤️
Sending you a hug!
Sending you a huge bear hug 🤗 Rachel xo

Sending you a big hug from Germany 💚
German follower here too. I‘ve been following you for so long and I‘m genuinely happy for you. There is nothing wrong with travelling alone, liking to be alone, but with the right person life is just more fun. You deserve the best!
The audio is amazing now, even better! Love that you feel comfortable sharing with us 🫶 So exited to see your life blossoming into a great new chapter ✨
Watching this episode made me remember just how long I have watched you over the years. Your channel is a part of my day to day. Like a sister catching me up on her day. I love having you around.
🤗
You are so adorable, wish you all the best ❤

Wishing you all the best! ❤
Thank you so much!! 💛💛
Some big hugs!❤️❤️
Thank you 💛💛
As a viewer for about a year now, that has seen pretty much all of your videos, I can definitely say that you have a newfound calm about you, you seem very at ease not like every problem you had is solved magically now, but more like you have a certain peace and courage to try new things. I am very happy to see that in you and I truly wish everything goes on like this, smoothly and great!! ❤
Im so happy for u .. u deserve the best ❤❤❤
Are you moving in with your boyfriend?
❤❤❤❤
