I know I might sound repetitive but your channel was really life changing. The struggle is still real (ED is a b1tch, society standards suck and family trauma isn’t a joke either) and not every day is a good day but your videos, your programs and you positive energy really keeps me going. Hope one day I’ll get to hug you and thank you in person for all you do ❤
ahh Chiara thank you so much for being so supportive and for sharing your story with me, I'm so sorry for everything you're going through - I want to give you a hug in real life so badly too. Where are you based?! I think I have a few meet ups lined up for the coming year!! xxx
@@natachaoceane Austin, Texas! We have mean donuts (I know you like those 😅) and great vibes. You gotta check it out! And one day I’ll go back to London to show my husband and little one the city that changed my life and I promise I’ll walk aimlessly for days until I find you (or just wait creepily in front of the donuts shop you really like) 😂❤
I think the real difference between Natacha and basically any other influencer that I know of is how open she is with her viewers about the ugly/difficult/taboo side of life, and it comes from a place of honesty that cannot be faked. It rings true, so it rings human and therefore it rings to us. Thanks, Nat. You're a trooper for sharing what you share in a position of influence & I have deep respect for you and your job.
Since the day I turned 18, I have felt completely and utterly hopeless and lost. I’m now 20 and can’t shake the feeling. This was definitely comforting to hear. Always providing such high quality content - thank you Natacha!❤️
Hey Dena, I think that feeling of being lost is something I relate to so much too though I think at 20 I wasn't aware that I was lost - I was just being that little leaf in the wind going in every direction but completely unaware of it. Recently if i've felt lost, I try to explore different avenues to help figure out if there's a path I want to continue down on and I find that can really help, not putting too much pressure on that avenue but just keeping an open mind and starting to explore at least felt like a forward step for me. Sending you so much love always (: xxx
@@natachaoceane the fact that you have taken the time to respond to me speaks volumes about how much you genuinely care to connect with your audience. Thank you for being so engaged with us! I’m working on finding my place in the world - journaling and just spending time alone are my favourite means of self discovery. But it’s comforting to know someone like you, who is the epitome of success in my eyes, still struggles. Lots of love!❤️
I'm 30 and still lost. 20 is super young! You'll be okay, you'll figure it out. And if you don't, well, it's not the end of the world. Enjoy being in the grey and all the little wins that come every day. I know you can do it ^^
1. No one has it completely figured out 2. Failure is the root to success 3. Take charge of your life or the world will do it for you (Learn to say no) 4. Challenge your beliefs often (Don’t limit yourself) 5. You don’t need to fit In (Peace is happiness at rest; be ruthlessly honest with what makes you happy)
Hi. I just shared parts of this video with my 8 year old daughter. She is having a hard time fitting in at school. After watching this.... especially the last slide, she decided to be herself and stop worrying about fitting in. Thank you for sharing your positivity!
You're NOT difficult. You are a strong woman with qualities and an amazing work ethic who knows what she wants. Don't ever let anyone tell you you're difficult. Unfortunately, a lot of people are just not used to/ready for this kind of commitment.
I rarely aspire to be like people on the internet, but your genuineness, mindset and positivity is just something that I hope to embody...forever grateful that one fateful day I searched "how to run" and found your content!! Thank you Natacha!
I can't believe I started watching you when you had 14K. To see you here now with 1.5 million subs is just incredible. And you deserve it in every way Natacha! I usually don't leach on to ''influencers'' but you have a place in my heart with your joy, authenticity and breath of fresh air. Thank you!
wowowow thank you so much for sticking around. you can't imagine how much of an honour that is. thank you. the internet isn't always the friendliest, most supportive place and yet somehow here I this little corner it is and it's thanks so people like you who made it an amazing atmosphere since the start. I hope for so much goodness and happiness in your life.
@@natachaoceane I'm speechless that you took the time to reply to me and even saw my comment! Thank you Natacha, it means the world! You deserve all the good and beautiful things both inside and outside of YT coming your way.
Today has been a very difficult day and I was feeling down on myself about not being able to study and feeling like everyone else in my doctoral program has it together so much more than I do - your video popped up at the perfect time! Thank you for always making my day better and reminding me what matters in life.
Well I love hearing a woman speak from her heart, honestly and bravely. Thank you for fabulous advice and tips. My one piece of advice as a 47 year old woman is never stop wanting to grow , to learn and guard your heart. Trust the journey. Grateful to be alive and well. 🙏🏽 wish you all the best Natacha 💋❤️
Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and started on medication and therapy. Now my Dr is lowering my dose and one step at a time I'm feeling less like a mess. Still messy some days or weeks, and nothing makes sense, but more people feel like this than we realise! It's important to realise.
hey Stephanie! ❤🔥I think you're so right. I think there are more people feeling that way and struggling with things than we realise. I went through a really difficult period over the last couple of years, and in those times I wasn't in a place to talk about it publicly because trying made me feel worse. I guess that's a perfect example of it! I'm proud of you. I know the journey will feel tough and if it's like working through an eating disorder I can imagine that at times it might feel like you're going backwards, but I have so much faith in you 🤍
Hey@@shy3846 my first month of medication, I'm on an SSRI, I was mainly sleepy and restless but that passed once my dose was adjusted. Slowly, slowly I started reincorporating things I used to enjoy like yoga, but it still felt like a fight, until one day, it didn't. I'm feeling a little more energetic and less mired in dark thoughts. My therapist really helped me see my thoughts differently. It's a process! And some days won't be good, but that doesn't mean you're failing. Sending hugs and positive vibes. I hope you are starting to feel better ❤️❤️❤️
@@natachaoceane thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ it makes such a difference to know what we all struggle, you suddenly feel less like an outlier and more like just an ordinary person dealing with life.
I am not someone who comments on UA-cam, but I am compelled to let you know that you authenticity cannot matched. You are a gem. the time and effort you put into creating content for us is unreal. I can feel you when you speak, I can believe in your words and mostly I can feel that you care. a genuine young woman. hugs from montreal
this video literally changed my life. i have watched it a few weeks ago and I have dramatically changed my worldview ever since. thank for always being my greatest inspiration natacha!
You’re by far my favorite content creator in the fitness industry. And it is because of your personality, belief system and excellence! Thank you so much for creating with integrity!
You are freaking awesome. I am 65 years old and I am FINALLY coming into this self acceptance / awareness and healthy frame of mind- heart -and spirit that you speak of and have come to know. Bless your heart you are so personal to us. Kathy(USA)
this is exactly what i needed, i just graduated from a marketing major and I feel so lost in what my next step should be. thank you so much for always being there for me 💖
I'm right there with you Bea (congrats on graduating btw!!). Tbh I think that's why I hopped straight into academia once I graduated as it felt like it bought me some time, only to realise it wasn't the right thing for me a year in. I honestly think looking back, spending a few years hopping around doing whatever it might be (doesn't even have to be something you'll end up doing for the long-term) and testing out the waters isn't a bad thing, failing stuff and getting things wrong is exactly how we end up knowing what paths we want to go down (: I'm always here for you (: all my love xxxx
I literally watch all your videos on repeat whenever I’m having a bad day. Been crying for days feeling so lost and then this video popped up 🎉 and immediately gave me motivation to keep growing and learning. Thank you for being so honest and candid! You are a ray of sunshine and are guiding so many people to be their best selves!
I just found your content when working to get into the splits. Now I have been binging on your videos!! You are bright, fun, genuine, and full of substance. Love your channel!!! You’re amazing!
It's unbelievably encouraging to hear you talk about your greatest contributions being as an outsider. What a great way to reframe and add meaning to your individuality and uniqueness. I'm so glad you aren't like anyone else!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I can't describe the level of respect I have for you or how much you've positively affected my life. I've been around here for a few years but I needed to let you know how much you've changed how I see life and more importantly how I see myself. You've helped me love my body and be confident as a biology uni student, pre-doctorate weirdo. Love u natacha
Your channel is so well rounded. Not only have you shown me the healthiest and most uplifting way to achieve my physique goals, you drop a video like this that embraces our beauty on the inside♥️
Currently growing into my new role at work and so unbelievably scared of failing because of this wonderful privilege of being put in this role in the first place. Thanks for reminding me that failure is critical to growing! You're such a special content creator. So lucky to have found your channel!
All my love, Natacha! I've followed your journey for years and years, and I'm currently on one of your programs (the second of yours I've tried). It's transformed my relationship with the gym. I used to slog through my workouts out of obligation, and now I get excited for them! Thank you ☺
hey Caroline!! wow 🥺 you've made my whole night. thank you so much for telling me, that's literally the most heartwarming feedback. I obsess a little bit about each programme each time and so it's really fulfilling so thank you. I'm not sure if you'll see this but I'd love to know which one you're on and how far through! Either way I'm rooting for you, have a very happy 12 weeks and I hope you're so proud of your results!
This channel has helped me for literal years - from simply wanting to feel strong before my wedding to now, getting over postpartum depression and adjusting to life as a mom. You’ve always been able to inspire without making me feel “smaller than” and your integrity and sense of humor is the cherry on top of everything - your content ALWAYS leaves me feeling better. It’s not even about the fitness anymore (although I appreciate it), it’s truly so valuable to have a voice like yours on the internet. THANK YOU!!! 🥰🥹🙏
I knew I put off watching this video for a reason, that reason being I had a feeling it might make me cry. I was correct but I'm happy it did. Thank you so incredibly much. Your content has a positive impact and is so desperately needed in this world. 💛
Watching this could not have come at a better time!! Last week I realised a mistake in my longitudinal study for my PhD and while I have tried to implement a solution, there is a chance I have lost some data + I made two other mistakes in trying to fix it. It's been constantly on my mind and making me feel awful but watching this puts it in perspective, so thank you so much for this
My favourite quote: “it’s not about waiting for the storm to end, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. Life has constantly been a challenge and I’ve learned very much the hard way too that no one has got their sh** together, nothing ever suddenly just clicks easily into place and to stop waiting to go for it … ❤
Natacha your authenticity and integrity are refreshing. You never cease to amaze and inspire me whatever it is that you're doing. It would be an honour to have you as a friend. Don't ever change x
This video and “how to become the person you always wanted” are my favorites. They’ve reminded me that the hopelessness i feel isn’t a mountain I can’t surpass. Thank you so much for sitting down and chatting with us. Always love hearing more about your experiences and what you e learned . Such a role model ❤
That first point hit home. In a new job, week 5, struggling so bad and failing at unpicking what sits where. That first point brilliant "I win from my failures" sooo good !!
When you talk about boundaries, I could resonate so much. I too used to people please, your metaphor of the leaf blowing around is so accurate to what people pleasing is!
It really hits home hearing someone explain it like this 🥺 There really is more to life than feeling like we're here to please others and are wrong to fail at things. Life is for living and making memories with those we love. I often feel silly trying to explain how I feel out of fear of being judged but you explained it perfectly, honestly so grateful for what you do ❤️ stay positive
It’s so strange to say it because I’ve never met you in person, but I SO deeply value your impact on my life and truly care so much about you as a person, Natacha. I cannot thank you enough for creating content that helped me learn to love and appreciate my body instead of criticizing and resenting it. I’m teary eyed typing this because I’ve watched you so many years now and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and I’m also proud of how far I’m come as a result of watching your content. Thank you. 💛
Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. It sounds stupidly simple but its crazy how it adds up. Mediocre consistency is the mindset that’s changed my life, that’s gave me a goal even though I was so depressed and I wish I’d known about as a kid. I had to overhaul how I approached taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and how I study - to make sure I do it I began recording and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase these small consistent efforts, is how i got out of it.
It's crazy how whenever I think about 'having my shit together' you are ALWAYS my reference / motivator. Thank you for sharing this video, Natacha. You have helped me put things into perspective. ❤
This was a well timed video, and from one of my favourite people. I watch your videos and for this whole time I realized I was looking at you as someone who has all their shit together. Thank you for being vulnerable ❤Failure is so scary but seeing you admit to your failures is a huge inspiration.
This year started out rough, but it's turning into one of the healthiest years of my life and I'm so glad for encouragement like you 🥰 Moving my body is enjoyable instead of punishment, I'm eating intuitively for me, and I'm actually finding myself thinner/stronger. ♥️ Thanks for all the work and research you put into your videos =)
I’m not your normal demographic, I’m a 41 year old male who watches you to help my 3 teenage daughters and give me a different perspective towards them. I wanted to say I couldn’t agree more with all these messages. Great video.
Oh my goodness I never catch you this soon after posting! Thank you for being my inspiration, your videos make me happier than you will ever ever know!! ❤️❤️❤️
you're a ray of sunshine everyone needs in their life! every time you post on youtube or any other platform it makes me smile, this was a great video and helped me remind myself life is a journey
I’ve been working HARD on myself lately both mentally and physically and you’ve been my personal cheerleader through it all. I appreciate your content more than I can express and can’t wait to be at a point that I can confidently share my story!
You're such an inspiration to me, and I honestly feel like you, your content and your fitness programs have changed my life for the better after recovering from an ED. Thank you for all that you do! I would LOVE to meet you some day!! ❤
You are one of the realest people I know. I’ve had the same thoughts about growing too fast when starting a channel, and thought people would think it’s silly to feel this way(especially since I’m just starting). Stay exactly how you are, because the world needs more people to be real. This is the message behind what I do. Glad someone feels the same♥️♥️
Thank you for doing what you do! Your videos always make me feel so grounded, especially when I am doubting myself. I really appreciate your videos and the energy you bring into the world!
I’m currently at the start of my eating disorder recovery and you are one of the reasons I sought out help, Thankyou so much for being an incredible role model and being a constant source of comfort to me.
I'll echo everyone else in the comments to say that your videos and approach to fitness have changed my life. I started your Restart program 4 weeks ago, and it's changed my relationship with the gym. I have so much fun, never feel bored, and feel stronger everyday. Thank you Natacha!
i just have to say this, your channel literally means everything to me as someone who doesnt have a good relationship with food, you made me realize how necessary food actually is to our body and that eating should be a thing that brings joy and seeing your relationship with food just makes me feel so good and gives me hope for myself :) im really trying to get a healthy lifestyle and you are such a motivation so thank you so muchh you're amazing ilyy!!
Every now and then, we all need that little reminder. Thank you for putting this out 😊 the last message from you I got was “how you look is the least interesting thing about you” love it and alleviate so much negative energy for me. Love always. PS: have you thought of looking into short 5min mini workouts through out the day and comparing it to conventional concentrated 1hr workout?
hey beautiful!! it's a hard quote to beat, I love it so much too (: ooo, very interesting concept, I've never done it myself as I don't think it would be super practical for me but I will look into it for sure (: All my love and thank you for being so supportive ❤❤❤❤
About the question, what i've gathered, if you dont have the time for an hour long workout, it is always better to do a lot of small ones instead of doing nothing at all!
love this. also think the business story is super important to talk about. the current culture makes everyone think if you’re passionate about something and give it your all, you’ll be successful… which isn’t the case. especially someone like you who’s already successful at so many other things 🙃
I love this video, Natacha. I recently quit my job of 6+ years to start a new chapter and create a better environment for myself. Each of these lessons you shared is exactly the mindset I need to have for this time in my life. Failure is okay, I am in charge, and I don't need to change myself. Thank you for sharing all of this, you're really such a bright light in the fitness space and on UA-cam in general.
Gaaaa this made me all teary eyed with affection and appreciation for you ❤ Truly, you are one of a kind, incredibly special and such a joy. You have created such a lovely community here and I’m really grateful to be one of the 1.5 million that knows how wonderful you are ☺️ One of the things that stood out for me in this video was that when you talked about all the things you did that built your confidence, they were all things you did for yourself. I know Mario is a very important part of your life and that he has had an influence and an impact on you, but you didnt mention him and it struck me as evidence of how seriously you take this aspect of your life. You said the most important part at the end: you are the person who has been and will be with you forever through everything. I dunno …. I’m likely not communicating it well, but it really struck me how important a message this is for your audience, knowing how many of them are (well, I don’t know, I’m assuming lol) young women. You’re working hard at being at peace with who and how you are and while our relationships are important and the things we do are important, they can’t define our worth or sense of self. They can certainly be a vehicle for growth, though. My favourite thing about being in my 40’s is just how much all of the things you covered have really settled in for me now. I can relate to so much of what you shared, having had a lot of the same struggles and challenges and had to work diligently at those things, too. Still do. But it all kinda sets into the fibre of who you are somehow and it takes less and less effort. Truly the gift of getting older, if youre doing it well, is that you care less and less about what anyone else thinks and counterintuitively, as you care less about that, the more you’re able to care FOR others and give to others without feeling depleted or conflicted. It’s pretty great. Also, it has to be said, your hair looks fabulous! It kinda distracted me the whole time. I was like, “she’s glowing”. You’re just awesome 😎 ❤
This world needs more genuinely loving/caring people in it like you. It would be so nice if that were the case. This was what I need to hear today after have dove cooing at 4:00 in the morning and waking me up. Love them, and the cooing, but not at 4:00. My brain switched from the cooing to stressing about work and not going back to sleep. This made my day. Natacha, you never let us down. Thank you for all that you are! 💞
This is why when people ask me who is inspiring my fitness journey I refer to you. You are not only about physical fitness, but true and honest mental fitness. 💖🧠 Also, been loving the thumbnails as of late, they're really nicely designed!!
This really hit hard as I have always felt like an outsider and constantly feel like people misunderstand me. I've made peace with this, but sometimes I can't help but want to be more like the people around me. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable.❤
Authenticity is a great quality of yours, you don't pretend to be something your not. Opening up about your weaknesses shows how tough you are.. I find through tough times I've grown the most in life.
I don't think you understand how much I really needed this. Today was the first day of the first job I've ever had, and this really helped my anxiety. Thank you
Everything you said resonates so so much with me. Fear of failure, being a perfectionist, people pleasing, not fitting in, all of it is me. I did find out recently that I've gone most of my life with undiagnosed ADHD. I am medicated now and that ice cube is starting to melt. I wish I could be happier. Less fearful. More kind and appreciative. Less critical. I wish I could un-become this because I KNOW how much of a self fulfilling mindset it is. I have a therapist and we're working on it but it's so painstakingly slow. Knowing that someone else has overcome these same struggles to some degree is really comforting. Thank you for everything you do, Natacha 💙
"Im not going to always be actively happy. " So simple, but so eye opening! I think there's so much pressure to be "happy" every minute. Life is full of challenges, and being happy every moment is unrealistic. Expecting to be can only lead to disappointment and pressure. My goal is just to be happy far more than I'm not. Thanks for my "ah-ha" moment of the day!
You are an amazing beautiful human being, I feel you are the only person on social media who is true and honest. Thank-you for everything you do and everything you put out there. Also I wanted to say your hair looks great!!! ❤️❤️
rly needed this video today. ive been binge eating almost every day for the past month and just generally depressed and hearing that everyone is struggling w something rly helped. i was feeling super alone and isolated dealing with it so this was refreshing. thanks sm for this channel and your authenticity 💜
Dear Natacha, thank you for always being you. Thank you for always embracing your quirky side and being so encouraging. You make me feel ok to be different and proud of who I am. This video was such a friendly reminder to keep going and to celebrate our own achievements and to simply be kinder to ourselves. Your that little angel on my right shoulder that reminds me to never give you, love you!!
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I guess we are all searching for these things simutaneously. Thank you again Natacha for being so genuine and open.
Your channel truly is my saving grace. Right now I’m struggling with letting to of my exercise for a while since I’m recovering from an operation and honestly, visiting your channel daily has helped me cope with it a lot better ❤
Natacha, I want you to know that you have HUGELY helped me with my struggles with food. You inspire me, and you have made a really big positive impact on my health and life. Thank you.
I was having a really bad day, spend all morning crying and questioning so many things... You always appear on the right times, your words felt like a nice big hug. Thank you Natacha, sending all my love ❤
I’m really sorry to hear that Sia 🤍 I’m here with you. Things will get better, this will pass even if it hurts a lot at the moment. All my love always 🫶
ahhh Melissa you don't know how happy you've made me!! I am actually really enjoying researching and building and discussing this with coaches I trust 😍 I'm going to do my best to release it as soon as I can but I need it to be the best I can make it too, so sorry if it takes a couple of months from here still! Haha the dinner recipe was mostly chopped veg but the magic ingredient was the honey + soy tofu: if you checkout the groceries segment you see which tofu I pick up from the fridge! If you can get that you're in! then we just added brown rice and some extra honey+soy over the whole thing ❤️🔥
When you were talking about jumping from friend group to friend group but felt lonely still, that’s literally all I felt in school. Feeling like I am difficult for having things that I care about and it makes me hard to work with for some people is one of the things about myself that has always frustrated me, but knowing I’m not the only one feeling that way makes me feel so much more ok with it. ❤️ So thank you Natacha, for being you! 💖 Love you and your videos so much! ☺️
It is such a strange feeling to watch your videos, but to be able to feel like you care about my life even though I have never met you before. Thank you for all you do, you are greatly appreciated and keep up the good content! Much love, xx
I just love you and this message so much. I wish we were besties. 😂 I see myself and my cousin in you, and relate to your relationship. Ahhhh keep being you! ❤
When you started to talk about friendships and fitting in this really resonated and hit home. I’m still trying to find my way and find my happiness, but your videos and your openness helps in ways that you’ll never know❤ the most genuine, sincere, kind hearted soul out there!
I have been having a rough week mentally between my stress and anxiety over personal and professional things in my life and this video was definitely full of things I needed to hear. Thank you Natacha for somehow always having the words to make me feel better and inspire me to keep going even when I feel like I am not capable. I (and I’m sure many others) feel connected to you through your honesty in videos like this and it really feels like getting advice from a friend when I need it most ❤
Your video just came at the right time! ❤ I guess a lot of people start their life as adults doing the things that seem to be respected by society without asking themselfes how they feel about their choice. There really is no right or wrong in this world, there just is trying and adapting. Love you Natacha!💓
I want to tank you, Natacha, for your videos. What you describe at the beginning of this video is how I feel from a long time. After I started following you, your videos helped me find peace with the fact that I need to let my body and mind rest and not just push through physical injuries and emotional drains. Currently I cannot work out I will get back to it once I put some things in my life in order but it is ok. I feel it is ok, I don't feel guilty for not being able to eat all the time the way I actually normally do, I don't feel guilt that I cannot workout and I do not feel guilt because I have put on weight. I don't feel like failure and like I am weak because I decided to take a rest. All that is thanks to you! So thank you from sharing you experience with us, you really are life changer for some of us. Maybe more than you realize.
"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you." ❤🔥
why did this quote literally just make me cry
@@lauraklaus4189 literally did this to me too 🥺 I’ve been having so many full circle moments and this one was icing on the top
absolutely.
Very well said 🥰
I cannot tell you how much that quote resonates with me right now. I'll be putting that one in the books.
no influencer or UA-camr or coach or teacher changed my life as much as natacha
we love you
wow, I don't even know what to say to that 🤗🤗 Thank you so so much and I love you back deeply ❤❤❤❤
My same thoughts exactly ❤
SAMEEE!!!
she is single-handedly responsible for changing my life
@@Freya_934 love that for you but give yourself credit! You were there too!
I agree one hundert percent😍💞 and I am so happy that I can be in this amazing community
I know I might sound repetitive but your channel was really life changing. The struggle is still real (ED is a b1tch, society standards suck and family trauma isn’t a joke either) and not every day is a good day but your videos, your programs and you positive energy really keeps me going. Hope one day I’ll get to hug you and thank you in person for all you do ❤
ahh Chiara thank you so much for being so supportive and for sharing your story with me, I'm so sorry for everything you're going through - I want to give you a hug in real life so badly too. Where are you based?! I think I have a few meet ups lined up for the coming year!! xxx
@@natachaoceane Austin, Texas! We have mean donuts (I know you like those 😅) and great vibes. You gotta check it out! And one day I’ll go back to London to show my husband and little one the city that changed my life and I promise I’ll walk aimlessly for days until I find you (or just wait creepily in front of the donuts shop you really like) 😂❤
@@natachaoceane ohh natacha i would love a meet up!😍 I think it would be a honore for a lot of people to say thank you face to face!😍
I think the real difference between Natacha and basically any other influencer that I know of is how open she is with her viewers about the ugly/difficult/taboo side of life, and it comes from a place of honesty that cannot be faked. It rings true, so it rings human and therefore it rings to us. Thanks, Nat. You're a trooper for sharing what you share in a position of influence & I have deep respect for you and your job.
Since the day I turned 18, I have felt completely and utterly hopeless and lost. I’m now 20 and can’t shake the feeling. This was definitely comforting to hear. Always providing such high quality content - thank you Natacha!❤️
Hey Dena, I think that feeling of being lost is something I relate to so much too though I think at 20 I wasn't aware that I was lost - I was just being that little leaf in the wind going in every direction but completely unaware of it. Recently if i've felt lost, I try to explore different avenues to help figure out if there's a path I want to continue down on and I find that can really help, not putting too much pressure on that avenue but just keeping an open mind and starting to explore at least felt like a forward step for me. Sending you so much love always (: xxx
@@natachaoceane the fact that you have taken the time to respond to me speaks volumes about how much you genuinely care to connect with your audience. Thank you for being so engaged with us! I’m working on finding my place in the world - journaling and just spending time alone are my favourite means of self discovery. But it’s comforting to know someone like you, who is the epitome of success in my eyes, still struggles. Lots of love!❤️
I'm 30 and still lost. 20 is super young! You'll be okay, you'll figure it out. And if you don't, well, it's not the end of the world. Enjoy being in the grey and all the little wins that come every day. I know you can do it ^^
@@khaileena7581 31 and relate so much ❤️

4. Challenge your beliefs often (Don’t limit yourself)
5. You don’t need to fit In (Peace is happiness at rest; be ruthlessly honest with what makes you happy)
Hi. I just shared parts of this video with my 8 year old daughter. She is having a hard time fitting in at school. After watching this.... especially the last slide, she decided to be herself and stop worrying about fitting in. Thank you for sharing your positivity!
👏 that's parenting done right....find the answers for them instead of saying "stop worrying about it"
You're NOT difficult. You are a strong woman with qualities and an amazing work ethic who knows what she wants. Don't ever let anyone tell you you're difficult. Unfortunately, a lot of people are just not used to/ready for this kind of commitment.
I rarely aspire to be like people on the internet, but your genuineness, mindset and positivity is just something that I hope to embody...forever grateful that one fateful day I searched "how to run" and found your content!! Thank you Natacha!
“You **need** to be constantly failing to be pushing the boundaries of what you’re capable of.”
In life and love❤️ (which really are one in the same)
Thank you
I can't believe I started watching you when you had 14K. To see you here now with 1.5 million subs is just incredible. And you deserve it in every way Natacha! I usually don't leach on to ''influencers'' but you have a place in my heart with your joy, authenticity and breath of fresh air. Thank you!
wowowow thank you so much for sticking around. you can't imagine how much of an honour that is. thank you. the internet isn't always the friendliest, most supportive place and yet somehow here I this little corner it is and it's thanks so people like you who made it an amazing atmosphere since the start. I hope for so much goodness and happiness in your life.
@@natachaoceane I'm speechless that you took the time to reply to me and even saw my comment! Thank you Natacha, it means the world! You deserve all the good and beautiful things both inside and outside of YT coming your way.
Today has been a very difficult day and I was feeling down on myself about not being able to study and feeling like everyone else in my doctoral program has it together so much more than I do - your video popped up at the perfect time! Thank you for always making my day better and reminding me what matters in life.
Same same! All the best for you and your PhD goal!
I was SO happy and excited to see your promo video pop up when I was shopping in Lululemon Amsterdam, shook, congratulations!!
thank you so so much Grace, it means the whole world to have friends like you ❤🔥 I love Amsterdam so much, hopefully I get to give you a hug one day!
Well I love hearing a woman speak from her heart, honestly and bravely. Thank you for fabulous advice and tips. My one piece of advice as a 47 year old woman is never stop wanting to grow , to learn and guard your heart. Trust the journey. Grateful to be alive and well. 🙏🏽 wish you all the best Natacha 💋❤️
🫶🫶 I’m so lucky to have such incredible friends. I hope you and your family are healthy and happy. Thank you.
Needed this so bad lately. Thanks for “failing” fearlessly. It’s inspiring to watch. That’s what’s success looks like to me ♥️
I’m currently on my journey to finding my true purpose/happiness. I needed this today, thank you Natacha ❤
you're so welcome Maddie!! You're gonna get there I promise and the hard times just make it sweeter (: all my love ❤❤❤
you got this maddie!!
Thank you so much for being this open with us! ❤ This video made me cry, you said everything I needed to be reminded of.
you're welcome Ivana - I'm right there with you my friend ❤❤❤❤
Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and started on medication and therapy. Now my Dr is lowering my dose and one step at a time I'm feeling less like a mess. Still messy some days or weeks, and nothing makes sense, but more people feel like this than we realise! It's important to realise.
Trust the process 💟
hey Stephanie! ❤🔥I think you're so right. I think there are more people feeling that way and struggling with things than we realise. I went through a really difficult period over the last couple of years, and in those times I wasn't in a place to talk about it publicly because trying made me feel worse. I guess that's a perfect example of it!
I'm proud of you. I know the journey will feel tough and if it's like working through an eating disorder I can imagine that at times it might feel like you're going backwards, but I have so much faith in you 🤍
How do you feel i have clinical depression too on medication for 1 month
Hey@@shy3846 my first month of medication, I'm on an SSRI, I was mainly sleepy and restless but that passed once my dose was adjusted. Slowly, slowly I started reincorporating things I used to enjoy like yoga, but it still felt like a fight, until one day, it didn't. I'm feeling a little more energetic and less mired in dark thoughts. My therapist really helped me see my thoughts differently. It's a process! And some days won't be good, but that doesn't mean you're failing. Sending hugs and positive vibes. I hope you are starting to feel better ❤️❤️❤️
@@natachaoceane thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ it makes such a difference to know what we all struggle, you suddenly feel less like an outlier and more like just an ordinary person dealing with life.
I am not someone who comments on UA-cam, but I am compelled to let you know that you authenticity cannot matched.
You are a gem. the time and effort you put into creating content for us is unreal.
I can feel you when you speak, I can believe in your words and mostly I can feel that you care.
a genuine young woman.
hugs from montreal
this video literally changed my life. i have watched it a few weeks ago and I have dramatically changed my worldview ever since. thank for always being my greatest inspiration natacha!
You’re by far my favorite content creator in the fitness industry. And it is because of your personality, belief system and excellence!
Thank you so much for creating with integrity!
Thank you Natacha! For your honesty, your kind energy and for being you. I come back to watch this video whenever I feel down or lost.
You are freaking awesome. I am 65 years old and I am FINALLY coming into this self acceptance / awareness and healthy frame of mind- heart -and spirit that you speak of and have come to know. Bless your heart you are so personal to us. Kathy(USA)
this is exactly what i needed, i just graduated from a marketing major and I feel so lost in what my next step should be. thank you so much for always being there for me 💖
I'm right there with you Bea (congrats on graduating btw!!). Tbh I think that's why I hopped straight into academia once I graduated as it felt like it bought me some time, only to realise it wasn't the right thing for me a year in. I honestly think looking back, spending a few years hopping around doing whatever it might be (doesn't even have to be something you'll end up doing for the long-term) and testing out the waters isn't a bad thing, failing stuff and getting things wrong is exactly how we end up knowing what paths we want to go down (:
I'm always here for you (: all my love xxxx
obsessed with natacha and everything she creates honestly 😩 I can't believe I caught this video in the first hour !!!
ahh thank you Amy-Marie!! I hope you're doing really well and sending you so much love!! xxx
I literally watch all your videos on repeat whenever I’m having a bad day. Been crying for days feeling so lost and then this video popped up 🎉 and immediately gave me motivation to keep growing and learning. Thank you for being so honest and candid! You are a ray of sunshine and are guiding so many people to be their best selves!
I just found your content when working to get into the splits. Now I have been binging on your videos!! You are bright, fun, genuine, and full of substance. Love your channel!!! You’re amazing!
It's unbelievably encouraging to hear you talk about your greatest contributions being as an outsider. What a great way to reframe and add meaning to your individuality and uniqueness. I'm so glad you aren't like anyone else!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I can't describe the level of respect I have for you or how much you've positively affected my life. I've been around here for a few years but I needed to let you know how much you've changed how I see life and more importantly how I see myself. You've helped me love my body and be confident as a biology uni student, pre-doctorate weirdo. Love u natacha
Your channel is so well rounded. Not only have you shown me the healthiest and most uplifting way to achieve my physique goals, you drop a video like this that embraces our beauty on the inside♥️
Currently growing into my new role at work and so unbelievably scared of failing because of this wonderful privilege of being put in this role in the first place. Thanks for reminding me that failure is critical to growing!
You're such a special content creator. So lucky to have found your channel!
All my love, Natacha! I've followed your journey for years and years, and I'm currently on one of your programs (the second of yours I've tried). It's transformed my relationship with the gym. I used to slog through my workouts out of obligation, and now I get excited for them! Thank you ☺
hey Caroline!! wow 🥺 you've made my whole night. thank you so much for telling me, that's literally the most heartwarming feedback. I obsess a little bit about each programme each time and so it's really fulfilling so thank you.
I'm not sure if you'll see this but I'd love to know which one you're on and how far through! Either way I'm rooting for you, have a very happy 12 weeks and I hope you're so proud of your results!
Years later, I still come back to this video on my bad days to cheer me up. Thanks, Natacha! ❤
This channel has helped me for literal years - from simply wanting to feel strong before my wedding to now, getting over postpartum depression and adjusting to life as a mom. You’ve always been able to inspire without making me feel “smaller than” and your integrity and sense of humor is the cherry on top of everything - your content ALWAYS leaves me feeling better. It’s not even about the fitness anymore (although I appreciate it), it’s truly so valuable to have a voice like yours on the internet. THANK YOU!!! 🥰🥹🙏
Postpartum depression is so rough, so glad you made it out mama ❤❤❤❤
I knew I put off watching this video for a reason, that reason being I had a feeling it might make me cry. I was correct but I'm happy it did. Thank you so incredibly much. Your content has a positive impact and is so desperately needed in this world. 💛
Watching this could not have come at a better time!! Last week I realised a mistake in my longitudinal study for my PhD and while I have tried to implement a solution, there is a chance I have lost some data + I made two other mistakes in trying to fix it. It's been constantly on my mind and making me feel awful but watching this puts it in perspective, so thank you so much for this
My favourite quote: “it’s not about waiting for the storm to end, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. Life has constantly been a challenge and I’ve learned very much the hard way too that no one has got their sh** together, nothing ever suddenly just clicks easily into place and to stop waiting to go for it … ❤
It's almost eerie how well-timed this video was to me having a horrible week followed by a horrible day at work. Thanks Natacha!
Natacha your authenticity and integrity are refreshing. You never cease to amaze and inspire me whatever it is that you're doing. It would be an honour to have you as a friend. Don't ever change x
This video and “how to become the person you always wanted” are my favorites. They’ve reminded me that the hopelessness i feel isn’t a mountain I can’t surpass. Thank you so much for sitting down and chatting with us. Always love hearing more about your experiences and what you e learned . Such a role model ❤
That first point hit home. In a new job, week 5, struggling so bad and failing at unpicking what sits where. That first point brilliant "I win from my failures" sooo good !!
When you talk about boundaries, I could resonate so much. I too used to people please, your metaphor of the leaf blowing around is so accurate to what people pleasing is!
It really hits home hearing someone explain it like this 🥺 There really is more to life than feeling like we're here to please others and are wrong to fail at things. Life is for living and making memories with those we love. I often feel silly trying to explain how I feel out of fear of being judged but you explained it perfectly, honestly so grateful for what you do ❤️ stay positive
It’s so strange to say it because I’ve never met you in person, but I SO deeply value your impact on my life and truly care so much about you as a person, Natacha. I cannot thank you enough for creating content that helped me learn to love and appreciate my body instead of criticizing and resenting it. I’m teary eyed typing this because I’ve watched you so many years now and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and I’m also proud of how far I’m come as a result of watching your content. Thank you. 💛
Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. It sounds stupidly simple but its crazy how it adds up. Mediocre consistency is the mindset that’s changed my life, that’s gave me a goal even though I was so depressed and I wish I’d known about as a kid.
I had to overhaul how I approached taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and how I study - to make sure I do it I began recording and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase these small consistent efforts, is how i got out of it.
It's crazy how whenever I think about 'having my shit together' you are ALWAYS my reference / motivator. Thank you for sharing this video, Natacha. You have helped me put things into perspective. ❤
This was a well timed video, and from one of my favourite people. I watch your videos and for this whole time I realized I was looking at you as someone who has all their shit together.
Thank you for being vulnerable ❤Failure is so scary but seeing you admit to your failures is a huge inspiration.
She is truly one of the most genuine person I follow on UA-cam
This year started out rough, but it's turning into one of the healthiest years of my life and I'm so glad for encouragement like you 🥰 Moving my body is enjoyable instead of punishment, I'm eating intuitively for me, and I'm actually finding myself thinner/stronger. ♥️ Thanks for all the work and research you put into your videos =)
I love this for you. 🤗
I’m not your normal demographic, I’m a 41 year old male who watches you to help my 3 teenage daughters and give me a different perspective towards them. I wanted to say I couldn’t agree more with all these messages. Great video.
Oh my goodness I never catch you this soon after posting! Thank you for being my inspiration, your videos make me happier than you will ever ever know!! ❤️❤️❤️
ahh thank you Eleanor!! That's all I can ever hope for! Sending you so much love!! ❤❤❤❤
you're a ray of sunshine everyone needs in their life! every time you post on youtube or any other platform it makes me smile, this was a great video and helped me remind myself life is a journey
You literally make me feel like I can do ANYTHING 💙
you can and I'm rooting for you the whole way while you're doing it!!
I’ve been working HARD on myself lately both mentally and physically and you’ve been my personal cheerleader through it all. I appreciate your content more than I can express and can’t wait to be at a point that I can confidently share my story!
I'm so happy I'm you're friend! You've changed my life and I'm so thankful for who you are! 💕
You're such an inspiration to me, and I honestly feel like you, your content and your fitness programs have changed my life for the better after recovering from an ED. Thank you for all that you do! I would LOVE to meet you some day!! ❤
You are one of the realest people I know. I’ve had the same thoughts about growing too fast when starting a channel, and thought people would think it’s silly to feel this way(especially since I’m just starting). Stay exactly how you are, because the world needs more people to be real. This is the message behind what I do. Glad someone feels the same♥️♥️
Missed you and soooo happy you’re back! Your growth and achievements has been so amazing to see. You’re beautiful. 💛💛 Lots of love!
hey Aleah!! I missed you too and it's good to be back!! Lots and lots of love!! xxx
Thank you for doing what you do! Your videos always make me feel so grounded, especially when I am doubting myself. I really appreciate your videos and the energy you bring into the world!
I’m currently at the start of my eating disorder recovery and you are one of the reasons I sought out help, Thankyou so much for being an incredible role model and being a constant source of comfort to me.
I'll echo everyone else in the comments to say that your videos and approach to fitness have changed my life. I started your Restart program 4 weeks ago, and it's changed my relationship with the gym. I have so much fun, never feel bored, and feel stronger everyday. Thank you Natacha!
i just have to say this, your channel literally means everything to me as someone who doesnt have a good relationship with food, you made me realize how necessary food actually is to our body and that eating should be a thing that brings joy and seeing your relationship with food just makes me feel so good and gives me hope for myself :) im really trying to get a healthy lifestyle and you are such a motivation so thank you so muchh you're amazing ilyy!!
I could burst into tears after 30 SECONDS!!! I feel exactly like that right here, right now, this very moment.
Every now and then, we all need that little reminder. Thank you for putting this out 😊 the last message from you I got was “how you look is the least interesting thing about you” love it and alleviate so much negative energy for me. Love always.
PS: have you thought of looking into short 5min mini workouts through out the day and comparing it to conventional concentrated 1hr workout?
hey beautiful!! it's a hard quote to beat, I love it so much too (:
ooo, very interesting concept, I've never done it myself as I don't think it would be super practical for me but I will look into it for sure (:
All my love and thank you for being so supportive ❤❤❤❤
About the question, what i've gathered, if you dont have the time for an hour long workout, it is always better to do a lot of small ones instead of doing nothing at all!
You’re authenticity is why I love watching your videos and following you ❤😊
love this. also think the business story is super important to talk about. the current culture makes everyone think if you’re passionate about something and give it your all, you’ll be successful… which isn’t the case. especially someone like you who’s already successful at so many other things 🙃
I love this video, Natacha. I recently quit my job of 6+ years to start a new chapter and create a better environment for myself. Each of these lessons you shared is exactly the mindset I need to have for this time in my life. Failure is okay, I am in charge, and I don't need to change myself. Thank you for sharing all of this, you're really such a bright light in the fitness space and on UA-cam in general.
Gaaaa this made me all teary eyed with affection and appreciation for you ❤ Truly, you are one of a kind, incredibly special and such a joy. You have created such a lovely community here and I’m really grateful to be one of the 1.5 million that knows how wonderful you are ☺️ One of the things that stood out for me in this video was that when you talked about all the things you did that built your confidence, they were all things you did for yourself. I know Mario is a very important part of your life and that he has had an influence and an impact on you, but you didnt mention him and it struck me as evidence of how seriously you take this aspect of your life. You said the most important part at the end: you are the person who has been and will be with you forever through everything. I dunno …. I’m likely not communicating it well, but it really struck me how important a message this is for your audience, knowing how many of them are (well, I don’t know, I’m assuming lol) young women. You’re working hard at being at peace with who and how you are and while our relationships are important and the things we do are important, they can’t define our worth or sense of self. They can certainly be a vehicle for growth, though. My favourite thing about being in my 40’s is just how much all of the things you covered have really settled in for me now. I can relate to so much of what you shared, having had a lot of the same struggles and challenges and had to work diligently at those things, too. Still do. But it all kinda sets into the fibre of who you are somehow and it takes less and less effort. Truly the gift of getting older, if youre doing it well, is that you care less and less about what anyone else thinks and counterintuitively, as you care less about that, the more you’re able to care FOR others and give to others without feeling depleted or conflicted. It’s pretty great. Also, it has to be said, your hair looks fabulous! It kinda distracted me the whole time. I was like, “she’s glowing”. You’re just awesome 😎 ❤
This world needs more genuinely loving/caring people in it like you. It would be so nice if that were the case. This was what I need to hear today after have dove cooing at 4:00 in the morning and waking me up. Love them, and the cooing, but not at 4:00. My brain switched from the cooing to stressing about work and not going back to sleep. This made my day. Natacha, you never let us down. Thank you for all that you are! 💞
This is why when people ask me who is inspiring my fitness journey I refer to you. You are not only about physical fitness, but true and honest mental fitness. 💖🧠
Also, been loving the thumbnails as of late, they're really nicely designed!!
Shutting down videos when they go too viral is SO cool. Really shows your mentality towards this.... I love that. Major respect
"peace is happiness at rest" 🤯🤯🤯🤯👏
This really hit hard as I have always felt like an outsider and constantly feel like people misunderstand me. I've made peace with this, but sometimes I can't help but want to be more like the people around me.
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable.❤
Sk excited for this. I love yiu. You're amazing. You deserve everything you get because you work so hard. I hope you enjoyed your time off ❤️💕
hey beautiful!! Thank you so 😍😍 I hope you're having a beautiful day so far (: glad to be back!! All my love!! xxx
Authenticity is a great quality of yours, you don't pretend to be something your not. Opening up about your weaknesses shows how tough you are.. I find through tough times I've grown the most in life.
I don't think you understand how much I really needed this. Today was the first day of the first job I've ever had, and this really helped my anxiety. Thank you
ahh you're welcome beautiful (: congrats on starting your new job, you're gonna be amazing!! All my love xxx
Thanks!
Yeaaaa buddy!!!
❤❤❤❤
Everything you said resonates so so much with me. Fear of failure, being a perfectionist, people pleasing, not fitting in, all of it is me. I did find out recently that I've gone most of my life with undiagnosed ADHD. I am medicated now and that ice cube is starting to melt.
I wish I could be happier. Less fearful. More kind and appreciative. Less critical. I wish I could un-become this because I KNOW how much of a self fulfilling mindset it is. I have a therapist and we're working on it but it's so painstakingly slow. Knowing that someone else has overcome these same struggles to some degree is really comforting. Thank you for everything you do, Natacha 💙
"I delete the videos"
Me frantically looking for a video from last week 💀💀💀💀💀💀
hahah if it's a programme video, I take them off my channel and keep them up on my website. You can find them up on my website whenever you need! 🤍
"Im not going to always be actively happy. " So simple, but so eye opening! I think there's so much pressure to be "happy" every minute. Life is full of challenges, and being happy every moment is unrealistic. Expecting to be can only lead to disappointment and pressure. My goal is just to be happy far more than I'm not. Thanks for my "ah-ha" moment of the day!
You are an amazing beautiful human being, I feel you are the only person on social media who is true and honest. Thank-you for everything you do and everything you put out there.
Also I wanted to say your hair looks great!!! ❤️❤️
Awwww we’re all part of 1.5 million friends!! Group hug everyone!
🤍❤🔥🤍❤🔥🤍❤🔥🤍❤🔥🤍❤🔥
You're honestly one of my favourite youtubers, thank you for your authenticity!
rly needed this video today. ive been binge eating almost every day for the past month and just generally depressed and hearing that everyone is struggling w something rly helped. i was feeling super alone and isolated dealing with it so this was refreshing. thanks sm for this channel and your authenticity 💜
Dear Natacha, thank you for always being you. Thank you for always embracing your quirky side and being so encouraging. You make me feel ok to be different and proud of who I am. This video was such a friendly reminder to keep going and to celebrate our own achievements and to simply be kinder to ourselves. Your that little angel on my right shoulder that reminds me to never give you, love you!!
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I guess we are all searching for these things simutaneously. Thank you again Natacha for being so genuine and open.
This is why we do reps to failure, to push ourselves to and past our limits - love it
Your channel truly is my saving grace. Right now I’m struggling with letting to of my exercise for a while since I’m recovering from an operation and honestly, visiting your channel daily has helped me cope with it a lot better ❤
Natacha, I want you to know that you have HUGELY helped me with my struggles with food. You inspire me, and you have made a really big positive impact on my health and life. Thank you.
I was having a really bad day, spend all morning crying and questioning so many things... You always appear on the right times, your words felt like a nice big hug. Thank you Natacha, sending all my love ❤
I’m really sorry to hear that Sia 🤍 I’m here with you. Things will get better, this will pass even if it hurts a lot at the moment. All my love always 🫶
@@natachaoceane Aww thank you so so much 🥺❤❤
Respect that vulnerability to share that a major biz venture of yours "failed". A great lesson to keep learning and pushing on
Ooh my god I love you Natacha!! Your ideas, way of thinking and the information you put out is just pure gold. You are such an inspiration to me.
ahhh Melissa you don't know how happy you've made me!! I am actually really enjoying researching and building and discussing this with coaches I trust 😍 I'm going to do my best to release it as soon as I can but I need it to be the best I can make it too, so sorry if it takes a couple of months from here still!
Haha the dinner recipe was mostly chopped veg but the magic ingredient was the honey + soy tofu: if you checkout the groceries segment you see which tofu I pick up from the fridge! If you can get that you're in! then we just added brown rice and some extra honey+soy over the whole thing ❤️🔥
When you were talking about jumping from friend group to friend group but felt lonely still, that’s literally all I felt in school. Feeling like I am difficult for having things that I care about and it makes me hard to work with for some people is one of the things about myself that has always frustrated me, but knowing I’m not the only one feeling that way makes me feel so much more ok with it. ❤️ So thank you Natacha, for being you! 💖 Love you and your videos so much! ☺️
It is such a strange feeling to watch your videos, but to be able to feel like you care about my life even though I have never met you before. Thank you for all you do, you are greatly appreciated and keep up the good content! Much love, xx
I just love you and this message so much. I wish we were besties. 😂 I see myself and my cousin in you, and relate to your relationship. Ahhhh keep being you! ❤
When you started to talk about friendships and fitting in this really resonated and hit home. I’m still trying to find my way and find my happiness, but your videos and your openness helps in ways that you’ll never know❤ the most genuine, sincere, kind hearted soul out there!
I have been having a rough week mentally between my stress and anxiety over personal and professional things in my life and this video was definitely full of things I needed to hear. Thank you Natacha for somehow always having the words to make me feel better and inspire me to keep going even when I feel like I am not capable. I (and I’m sure many others) feel connected to you through your honesty in videos like this and it really feels like getting advice from a friend when I need it most ❤
Your video just came at the right time! ❤ I guess a lot of people start their life as adults doing the things that seem to be respected by society without asking themselfes how they feel about their choice. There really is no right or wrong in this world, there just is trying and adapting. Love you Natacha!💓
I want to tank you, Natacha, for your videos. What you describe at the beginning of this video is how I feel from a long time. After I started following you, your videos helped me find peace with the fact that I need to let my body and mind rest and not just push through physical injuries and emotional drains. Currently I cannot work out I will get back to it once I put some things in my life in order but it is ok. I feel it is ok, I don't feel guilty for not being able to eat all the time the way I actually normally do, I don't feel guilt that I cannot workout and I do not feel guilt because I have put on weight. I don't feel like failure and like I am weak because I decided to take a rest. All that is thanks to you! So thank you from sharing you experience with us, you really are life changer for some of us. Maybe more than you realize.
