My life is *chaos* but I'm building my dreams, so that’s cool! A New York City vlog.

[@NoranAzmy]

Chelsea, just wanna say I absolutely love your videos. I live in London and I’m also a 30-something (with a couple more somethings), and I just relate to your vlogs on such a deep level. They’re honest and comforting and they help me contextualize my own life.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Thank you so much!

I turned 31 last month. It's comforting to see my 30 something peers keep showing up authentically in the world. I think the world really needs that - or at the very least, _I_ do and I'm so grateful for you, Chelsea!

I wish I was still in my 30s and my life is in chaos enjoy it I am now in my late 50s and my life, has been thrown into chaos once again I expect to look back on this time in my 70. Romanticize what’s going on in my life now and take pride in overcoming my struggles I enjoy your videos

[@kelvinshek9980]

its ok to miss a run every now and again. training fatigue is a real thing. But morning runs really are the best. its cooler in the morning, and then you have the rest of the day to eat and drink (and stretch)

[@Nazgolthesilvertongue]

How happy and grateful I am coming across your channel a while ago!I am a 30-something-year-old going through life alone,living in a big city,and it's so comforting to see you going through everyday and realistic life! Thank you for being a comfort to me ! I'm going through hard times and transition (I have a KZbin channel too just as a hobby),I hope you achieve your goals and share your steps towards them with us, stay strong.

Congratulations on the new management! They realized you have good engagement on your videos and you have the power to motivate/influence people (hence the brain tumor funding surpassing your set goal), viewers love your authenticity, and the creativity of your videos and relate to your content. You're very genuine and people can see feel that! When people watch they can see themselves being friends with you if they knew you in real life, and that's a very special effect you have on people!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Thank you!! ❤️ so glad good things are happening for you :)

[@DannyFPO5]

I just moved to NYC at the beginning of July. I used your past videos on moving to NYC to help navigate the crazy world of apartment hunting in the city. They were really helpful. As a late 30-something (about to push 40) it was really helpful to have your realistic, down to earth point of view. I am actually working on creating my own channel and I definitely need to give a shout out to you and a few others for inspiring that. My focus is going to be on people chasing their dreams late in life, since I got accepted to acting school I'm going to be in NYC for at least 2yrs. Definitely giving you a shout out!!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Man this is so awesome! Congrats on the move!!

[@halloweeniekai]

I watched this video when I could not sleep before a 4:30 am 5K run with hills. My work brain won't turn off. But I still did my run and aced it because of determination and this inspiring video. ❤ Thank you, Chelsea!

[@Alexandra_336]

I’m German (live in Germany) and I’ve spent the last 3 months in the US for the first time, 1,5 months staying in NY. I love your channel because it reminds me to my time there (I fell in love with NY) and all the places I see in your video are kind familiar for me. And I’m 30 something too, which sometimes frustrates me - but seeing your channel makes me feel always good. It’s never to late to follow your dreams. 😊 Thank you for your vlogs!!! ❤

visited new york for the first time this week and I couldn’t help but thinking about seeing everyone I walked past imagining what kind of lives everyone had there after allowing us an insight into yours 🤍 I can see why you love the city so much!! and harlem was amazing too 🫶🏼

[@deecohen1383]

ALSO….I think about how many times in my late 20’s n early 30’s when hard Core racing and marathon in NYC….how many times when coworkers asked me to hang out Id have to say “I cant I have a Long Run tomorrow” “I cant I have a race tomorrow”(9+1). I passed up alot of invitations and social situations bc of training. And ya know what…? No regrets. When I look at all my marathon and triathlong medals hanging in my room Idont regret the lonlieness of training at all YOU GOT THIS!

[@rebeccacartier153]

I have stumbled across your channel and love it, I love the honesty and not staged “excitement and things going on” that other channels adopt sometimes, your channel is an oasis to come and chill…I also run marathons and would love to do NYC marathon one day, I’m from the UK so it’s a dream I hope I can make true one day, keep up the great content 👏🏻👏🏻

I'm a 23 year old from California, I'm struggling with find motivation and what I wanna do/go post-grad but your videos give me this big comfort. I don’t know how things are gonna go but they will be okay, you remind me to take things one at a time.

[@TheLastPictureShow2]

I have just found you and like the reality you bring to your content . It shouldn’t all be about what you just purchased, gifted etc. You say your videos help you and it certainly helps me. Keep it going❤🇬🇧

[@jumpingbee4717]

Oh Chelsea ❤ I have the exact same issue with anxiety and sleep and it has hindered my running sessions in the past. If I may offer some advice that helped me is to assume AND embrace that you will 100% have bad running sessions (ones where you just don't have the energy). You're just marking them done, by showing up period, even if it's walking half of them. Usually a running calendar is packed enough to allow for missed sessions or subpar sesh. Also, when you can't sleep, GET OUT OF BED. I know you probably know all this and I'm guilty for not following this advice a lot of the time but I've been practicing not staying stuck in the insomnia mind loop. For instance, I turn on a bedside table light, watch some asmr videos (I love asmtwix), I bought a eye massager and practice breathing at the same time to clear my mind. I also have a back massager that I use lying down with the belt massager below my knees and it helps me sleep. And speaking of unsolicited advice from a fellow 30 sthg runner (not so much right now because I got injured and depression at the same time), give your boobs some love because that sports bra doesn't seem super strong in terms of support. Try Anita Active Bras, they're 🦾 - nothing moves and super soft (just be aware that if you have eternally pointy nips and are self conscious about it and are used to paded bras, these don't have it, I make it work with dark colors). Allez courage !

[@CoffeeandDonuts0001]

Congratulations on getting KZbin staff, Chelsea! So proud of you ❤

I agree so much with running in cool weather then hot weather. Even winter runs are killer!! the air smells so much better when it's cold.

[@Moldy_nectarine]

I am SO ready for fall and winter! Summertime is great and all, I have a huge (for me) garden and I’m loving the life that comes back but I’m ready for the sun to die down. There’s nothing more I love than a hot cup of tea when the max weather outside is 68, is that just me? I recently-ish moved to MN and I feel like I should be relishing every moment of the sunshine instead of dreaming of those 4:30pm sunsets. Thank you again for the wonderful video! I always look forward to eating a massive bowl of yogurt covered grapes and veging out watching you. Congratulations on the long morning run btw! 💜

See taking you suggestions already! I checked out Daphne's vlog and subscribed mentioning it that you mentioned her. Another addition to "my village" of people whose vlogs will help me make my dream come true. I told her, this will be my 73 move. I'm like a nomad, but I've got the moving thing down to a science. But these crossing an ocean moves are a logistical pain in the ass. I came to Oahu with 5 big suit cases and immediately put everything but a carry on into storage. It made it a lot easier. But I've acquired a lot of nice things, so downsizing begins well in advance. It's my least favorite part, then there's the shipping ugh! Chaos equals life. You are doing great! And congratulations on the delegating to a management team! I am so happy for you, really, you are an Entrepreneur and I've been self employed since the dark ages, when I was 28. Smart women know when to ask for assistance. And personally getting to the point where you need help, housekeeper, nanny, employees, is such a good feeling. And yeah you on the fund raising!!!

[@annarold1709]

Thank you for letting us feel we are with you ❤ Just one thing, eating processed meals (including 🥯) and fast food cooked in plastic and in a Microwave is highly carcinogen😢!

[@katara1616]

11:20 I love the live from Paris version of that song!

[@HiTechRedneck]

I also love watching moving vlogs. I hate the actual moving process (like the lugging furniture from place to place part) nut love setting up a new space. So it’s fun to live vicariously through these folks while I save up to move again myself. Especially when it’s someone I already watch, just makes me really happy for them 🙂 And right there with you on being ready for Fall and Winter. I’m in East Texas, it’s been 100° (not counting the heat index, with that it’s been 110°+) for like 3 straight weeks now, bring on the cooler weather please, I’m dying 🥵

Hi Chelsea!! I also like to carb load on pasta the night before a run. I have a recipe to share with you that is SUPER tasty and very simple! I usually hate anchovies when they are stand alone but when they are served like this they just provide a great burst of salty umami. In a frying pan add: -1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil -6 anchovies (jarred in oil) finely chopped -Fry for about 3-5 mins until the anchovies melt down into the oil -Add 1 garlic clove crushed and fry this for a bit -Add some chilli flakes -Boil spaghetti (half a pack maybe?) -Strain and add the spaghetti to the pan -Toss through the tasty oil. -Add pepper to taste. DONE! Mmmm tasty Carbs! 😍

I live in a relatively big city too (no where near compared to NYC) byt I can imagine the struggle of managing your job, passion, social life, mental health and everything else. Tbh it's getting more and more difficult every day. You're doing great Chelsea, keep it up :)

Love how you're loosening up and crying as you need to - it's a natural part of life and you'll end up enjoying it. Wow, you accomplish such a lot at the moment, exhausting to watch ! I remember that great feeling running when you think you could go forever. The more natural you are in your appearance, the hotter you seem to me. It is like having a girlfriend, seeing you bouncing around half-dressed doing all those things an intimate partner does in your presence when getting ready.

[@justauryon]

Pro tip for the fruit fly / gnat problem! Pour a bit of bleach down the drains & cover them before going to bed. (Small glass or ramekin works.) Keep up with this & the home made traps in the meantime & it’ll be greatly reduced… eventually gone. While a bit of “messy apt” isn’t the root cause, it helps keeping the kitchen clean & trash covered / taken out. It happens - the little buggers sometime come in with produce. Can’t be helped really 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope this helps! My building’s pest control guy told me this & it’s helped immensely. ❤

Hi, Chelsea. I loved your sobriety series, where you talked about the pros and cons of such an experiment, like saving money, but also how it changed your socializing! I wondered if you would want to film something similar where you hire someone to help clean and/or do your laundry once or twice a week, if budget allows. I know it's a luxury, but it also might be an interesting experiment to see what emotions "buying back some time" brings up for you, or if it's actually helpful or worth it. Just a little idea; feel free to disregard! 😄

How do you remain calm? I have seen your videos and I know that its a fucking struggle some days. I ask cause i'm feeling down bad, work, relationships, mentally, I feel that i'm not going anywhere and where i am right now is not a good place either. I've been living on a diferent city for 6 months or so, I like the city, I can see myself living here for a while if that matters. It's just that nothing is clicking, not work, not meeting new people to see if something happens, I've been feeling bad cause of being sick that I kind of relate to stress from the other two areas... I mean... fuck. Thanks for sharing your videos, you make them as raw as possible so I aprecciate that as someone that is struggling with life and making sense of himself and everything around me (at leas trying to). I wish you the best and hope you can keep building the life you want to live. Rooting for you and for me!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I’m still going through it, but what’s helped me is just trusting in the process of life and that tough chapters just mean you’re leveling up. Getting really specific about what I want has helped get confidence to experiment with taking little steps forward. I’m so sorry you’re not feeling in a good place :( you sound like a really strong person, I know you’ve got it in you to keep going. Much love, rooting for you

I'm in upper Manhattan also! How do you get rid of your fruit flies? They seem weird in this area, they infested the plants of my nearby acupuncturist, I sometimes find them in my fridge, and they like me as much as any food. Love your content, I would have found it very comforting in my early 30s but still love it now even though my goals are different (just getting through health problems and working full time).

[@phronsiekeys]

Fruit flies...well, I saw that banana. I don't allow bananas in the house in the summer. I make sure all the soft skinned fruit is in the fridge. If I want to ripen a peach, say, I wrap it in a cotton kitchen towel and leave it out for a couple of days. But the real culprit has definitely been bananas.
