The goal for these first years was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸

I am a doctor as well. During the very beginning of the pandemic I had a similar moment, a split second when I realised that life is short and I better live it to the fullest. From that point, my life has changed in ways I couldn't predict! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@j.vanessalarson8853]

Your videos bring lots of hope...stuck in a corporate job, trying to find my why...thank you!

[@eviereyes8918]

Thank you for your latest video on your struggles. It brought me tears of sadness and happiness for you. I am a 62 divorced mother with three beautiful kids very successful and support grown kids and now taking care of my aging mother while having a semi successful careers to be able to take care of my family . Your videos are beautiful and an inspiration . They are helping me to find myself at this late age . Bendición para los dos y Gracias ❤️

[@galemays49]

I especially love when you cook and when you plant just a joy to watch.

[@azazelda]

hi Eugenia, thank you so much for sharing. It's interesting and very motivating for me to see how you two, besides your qualifications, are coming to the baseground of life and experiencing building up life for yourselves with your own hands and instincts. Your partner with his golden hands for building and design and you with your sense of aesteatics in everything you do. I am sorry to hear you didn't have support from the family, but you know what? That element upgraded you to what you're now. No comfort, no help, let's push it through. Wonderful! You are such an inspiration. I admire your success in one of the world's toughest markets, no wonder you enchanted LA and NY, so charming. But your biggest smile I saw with picking a humble vegetable and flower from your own garden. I say humble, I don't really mean it. It is grand! Hope you'll have success in anything you do. World needs more people like you guys! Greetings from Serbia! Maya.

[@j.r.bergstrom6230]

I love your story. Thank you for sharing. In my early twenties, I learned to listen to my heart and follow my dreams. I am now 70. My dreams have become my realities, in spite of the struggles and obstacles along the way. My gratitude is boundless.

[@kellymcnabb6897]

Cher Eugenia, I was so inspired today while watching your video. I am in a transitional period of my life ( age 63 and retired as a chef) and am trying to figure out the next step. I have always struggled with work life balance and have always been a very hard worker, for someone else. Your video inspired me to see that others have started over more than once and are thriving. I also love your philosophy about living for today as we never know what tomorrow may bring! Thank you!

[@margg1594]

¡Gracias!

[@shongchiu5170]

Also, what gorgeous bags you created! Totes are my favorite.

[@shwetabhatt4207]

This is one of your best videos, a beautiful gift for us viewers. Not because you share your struggles, but because you showed how faith and grit can help one chart the life in a beautiful direction, despite the odds. More power to you and Pepe. Love and light🌻🌠

[@kikisarri2995]

Είμαι και εγώ σχεδιάστρια ρούχων και ξέρω από ραπτική . Είναι πολύ δυνατά τα συναισθήματα έμπνευσης , ενθουσιασμού , χαράς και τα έχω νοιώσει και εγώ πολλές φορές όταν το αποτέλεσμα είναι εντυπωσιακό . Η δημιουργία σου είναι τέλεια !!! Προχώρα !!! Μπράβο σου !!!

[@tundrawild]

May you, Pepe, Aspen and Lolita be blessed for all your days. We have a lot of similarities in the life journey - including living in LA at a time - so this video resonated deeply. Keep feeding your soul. Thank-you for creating content with intentionality and authenticity. Once I get back to Portugal I can’t wait to start my garden using your guide and course! Also, beautiful garment! Reminds me to take out my sewing machine that has been stagnant for over 10yrs😮!

[@tcreeses]

Beautiful message, thank you for sharing your story.

[@sewlavie]

So happy for you that you got your sewing machine out! And thanks for sharing your brave and powerful story🙏🏽

[@angelinesarol5616]

I LOVED YOUR STORY VERY INSPIRING

[@SomethingLikeThis1]

Me and my husband been following two of you and admiring your journey. We are on a similar path to yours and your videos touches our souls. Thank you for showing the struggle behind your hard work! Loads of love from Sicily ❤

[@erwin_888]

i love the architectural, minimal approach of your bags... my previous wife was a (leather) bag designer and made them by hand and some small machines.. such an artisinal craft.

[@zaieks]

Domingo a la tarde mi hora favorita! cuando llega tu video!

[@Simpleconsciousliving]

Beautiful video again! I command your courage and the strength you had to follow your dream and transform your life for the best. One thing I've learned in life is that following your intuition will never let you down. Good work! And thanks for sharing your life and creativity with us all. Sending love from the mountains of Colorado💖

[@Lee1Min-Ji]

What a beautiful documentation of life, creativity and self care.

[@neshas.4774]

Thank you for sharing, this means so much to me as a surgical nursing student. 🙏🏾🤍✨

[@YogaMattersDaily]

I too made several career life path transformations and it’s when I took the biggest risks and came through the other side that I saw how good life could be! Now I live on a farm with life at my leisure. Thank you for sharing Eugenia I love your style !!!

[@sbrewster1653]

Thank you for motivating me to take my next step.😊

[@macynthiamagbanua6522]

Such brave artistic spirits!!! Thank you for sharing your story and giving courage and motivation to us who watch your show. That linen dress is fabulous!!!

[@ArtofHosting]

I love the combination of telling a story and then seeing a creative process unfold...

[@galemays49]

I just love watching you and your journeys. Looking forward to seeing the finishing of the house. Good luck to you and your husband and your furry babies.

[@UNLABELED_UN-NAMED]

You are in YOUR ERA girl! Good for you on all of your successes and perseverance. You have come a long way. It’s time to reap your reward.

[@sarajoy5525]

Wow. Just wow. This may have been one of your best, overall videos of your story thus far. I smiled and cried with happiness throughout the entire video. Having you tell us and show your past to what has gotten you to this present moment while you were making your dress from scratch was SUCH a great way to keep the viewer engaged but also feeling inspired and curious at the outcome from your finished project AND finishing the story you were sharing with us. And really allowing us into your world even more, it has given me a whole new level of understanding and love for you and Pepe's drive, determination and go-getter mentality. You both have created your own reality. You haven't let things stop you or get in the way, and if the obstacles are there, you've learned and grown from them. Always a true inspiration Eugenia. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing and showing up every single day. We see you and love you.

[@sari4079]

You are such an inspiration! I love your positivity, even in the face of all the hard times you've had to endure. Keep delighting us with your beautiful soul!

[@lkolarby]

Thank you for sharing your story and for spreading inspiration to us that get to take part of it. Hope to be able to follow your journey for a long time going forward! Lisa

[@Katrine_Green]

Your story is like mine. I am a pharmacist that became a DJ. I moved to different countries and now all I want to do is youtube videos about plant based medicine and food.

[@arando.4]

hahah and you give me strenght =) I am a pharmacist though still didn't quite =) much love!

[@cheekbone4554]

The authentic behind the scenes story of establishing yourself doesn't get shown enough. We are presented almost daily with a quick glimpse of success via social media without learning of the trials one goes through. Thank you for sharing this video, your dedication and self awareness is inspiring for a creative like myself.

[@claudinevandamme4809]

Beautiful message, thank you. Blessings to You, Pepe and the two fur baby's 😊😊😊 very courageous to tell your story!! ❤

[@anelisa4]

Your story is so inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing. 🌻

[@naron2434]

Mucho animo!!! Que tus sueños se conviertan en realidad,

Thanks so much for being real about your life.....I also enjoyed seeing you sew a garment from start to finish!...Is there anything you can't do? Love and blessings

[@dawnsspiritualrhythms369]

You are an amazing storyteller, so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your stories.❤👏🏽🙏🏾

[@daleenreyna2025]

Loved your video!! My husband and I seem to be on your old path, lol. We too are getting ready for our first ever market... and we too make leather bags. I was drawn to your channel because of the lifestyle you have, I dream of having a similar lifestyle one day, and now that I see more about your past business ventures...I realize we have more in common than I initially thought, even down to the designs you guys came up with! 😅 thanks for sharing!!

[@MarMarti1780]

Wow what am amazing story of personal growth and what a masterpiece you just made! Love, love everything you do 🤍✨thank you for this!

[@marialindberg9564]

[@FayMT]

What a wonderful heartfelt video ❤️

Thank you for this inspiring story. I’m going through a divorce and your words have helped me tremendously. Being kind and true to myself is the greatest takeaway from this video. Thank you so much ❤ You are an amazing woman and a true jewel 💎

[@ireneyetc]

Que historia tan inspiradora Eugenia ✨

[@NatashkaMarch]

Thank you for this video. You said something I really needed to hear these days ❤

[@FrancescaWaddell]

This video!!! Your resilience and determination is an inspiration to us all Eugania! I loved watching you construct the garment while telling us a part of your story. Everything you do or turn your hand to seems a success which is a testament to you. Another inspirational video! Thank you 😍

[@claranogueroles6480]

Gracias por compartir tu historia. No soy persona de escribir comentarios, pero quería decirte que eres un ejemplo de cómo mantenerte fiel a ti misma, a lo que eres y es importante para ti, a pesar de las dificultades. Es muy bello lo que cuentas y como lo cuentas. Gracias por el regalo que son tus videos. Un abrazo.

Hi Eugie.thanks for sharing 🎉❤🥳🎶👌👍🏻🥲

[@_peregrine]

you bring so much light, inspiration, and beauty to this world. thank you for sharing your authentic self & story through your videos! this one brought me to tears and brought so much warmth and hope to my heart 💖

[@sarahp3676]

Eugenia, ever since I found you several months ago, you have been my constant source of inspiration, guidance and help in my personal journey evolution. I've been going through a personal struggle, but now am at a crossroads where I know it's time to take care of myself and move ahead. So every video I have watched has helped me get to this point. This video came at the most perfect time for me. Thank you for all the beauty and wisdom that you share with us. ✨ Please tell us that you're going to start a new venture and make and sell those dresses?? I need one in my life! 😉 I hope you all are having a blessed and beautiful summer. Sarah

[@4piluchi]

Love this video! ❤ Very personal and full of deep thoughts. Thanks for sharing your story 😊.

[@Amacott99]

I love this story of yours. I worked as a remote area nurse in Australia for 20 years….and became completely overwhelmed and burnt out. Juggling a very demanding job, 3 children and a pilot husband……we decided to sell up everything and moved to India. It was incredibly difficult with 3 little boys and my husband’s demanding job….but I thrived. I have never gone back to nursing and don’t miss it at all. I’ve had time with my beautiful boys who are now aged 20-18-17. Sometimes we need to fall so far down to realise our new dreams and ambitions.

[@sallydeslandes7990]

Such a positive yet realistic video that tells of trials and triumphs. I love that you are your.own person and stay true to that. We can all learn from you! Thank you so much Eugenia for being such an authentic and inspiring role model no matter who we are or what journey we are on.

[@Julie-bq6iz]

Eugenia, you are an amazing human, and you inspire me! Your videos always lift me up. Blessings!❤

Hermoso vídeo, gracias por compartir tu historia,vosotros sois muy talentosos y luchadores, llegarán muy alto, seguro ❤❤

[@vittorinaprincipeii2311]

Beautiful garment. Very inspired by you! Thank you for all of your videos. Just a quick critique; at 18:27 minutes in, where you say, "become the WRITTER of your own story" I believe you meant to put WRITER, as the word 'writer' has only one 'T'. (smile) Keep on creating and sharing with all of us. You are beautiful and Pepe makes a good soul mate for you. You are together living my dream. Peace and blessings...

[@sydkotar]

This is so inspiring!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I feel like I'm on the cusp of something similar, but doing it coming from the US to Europe - just the reverse

[@skywatcher5725]

Thank you for sharing your life, Eugenia. I watch your videos over and over because they are inspiring, and they bring peace to me. I appreciate your simple natural style. All the white is refreshing and restful. You are amazing, so talented and motivated.

[@MythicalPath]

Inspiration ....hope ....powerful...thanks for sharing Eugenia

[@jessicagonzalez1326]

So much to say. Amazing video. I can't imagine dealing with the decision to leave the medical field shortly after completing the monumental task of entering the field at all, then to be faced with difficulties in your next dream. I am so sorry. I am mad at my own San Diego and Santa Monica for not seeing the gifts you have! This dress is gorgeous, and I love how you and Pepe (I assume) filmed this project alongside the telling of your story. If you want to try again in the fashion world I am an eager customer.

[@martingeyette6395]

You are very skilled, you took a chance from being a medical professional to be a designer. You have to follow your heart, it was tough to get established, but with persistence, it eventually happened. New York, LA, the top design houses. You should be proud ♥️👍

[@Mama_Sabine]

You truly are an inspiration, Eugenia Diaz! ❤
