[@lauragarcia3353]

I am a person who struggles with anxiety you are not alone. This made me tear up 😢 crazy how people think she has the most perfect life and has no worries but she is just as a human as us!🧡

[@adrianaramirez120609]

Thank you Jenicka for sharing your struggles. As a fellow Anxious person, I love to know that I am not the only human who feels the same way. You are awesome, and you are doing great. ❤❤

[@rebeccacruz5697]

I have experienced the same thing while flying, and it’s crazy because I love to travel. But we love you Jenicka, may God continue to bless you & give you strength each day 💕

[@keyriramos632]

I have been watching and listening to your podcasts for about a month and I love them. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and open to us about anxiety. I’ve been wanting to talk to a therapist because I have really bad anxiety and overthinking and it limits me everyday with stuff that I want to do because I always worry about what other people will think of me. It makes me feel not as alone to know that it’s not just me. I look up to you so much. Thank you❤️ and never stop these podcasts pleaseee🫶🏼

[@mireyasalazar7637]

Nooo! You’re doing great Jenicka!!🥹🫶🏻We love you! & we love your podcasts🥰you got this and you’ll always have a lot of our support! Remember there’s always people that want to bring down others, but I genuinely enjoy your podcasts so much! This is literally the only podcast I enjoy watching 🥹🩷

[@Thevelvetletters]

Thank you for being so open and honest. You’re doing a great job with the interviews and it’s your own vulnerability that makes others open up. Sending you so much love and f*** the haters.

[@JenickaLopez]

Thank you so much!❤

[@alexiavazquez4523]

I struggle so much with anxiety after my dad passed away , I def feel like I keep to myself & deal with it alone ! You’re not alone & thank you for opening up with us ! I truly love your podcast !!! ❤

[@lmichellemsa1432]

❤You take care of YOU first. Who cares if ppl don't like your podcast. Your true fans will follow you. I thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm 110% sure 🦋 is beyond proud 👏 of you. Following you from Arizona 🌻

[@csalguero82]

Girl me and you are like twins, down to the anxiety due to a loss of a parent, the eye contact which is hard for me also but also trying to work on it. Being shy every now and then, hard for me to make friends, doesn't show very much emotion and just a great heart but hard to have conversations. This podcast made me feel like I'm not alone on these struggles. Girl we both got this, and will make ourselves stronger by taking baby steps and getting over our hurdles. Love you Jenicka 💗 You got this. WE got this.

[@fmcali7330]

Beautiful Jenicka 🌻 You don't have to do your best you are the best, because you share with us your feelings, emotions ❤️‍🩹 You keep on Shining 🌟 your light because it helps us heal together

[@velasquezedwina4]

Your boldness is inspiring, PTSD is real. I just wanted to comment on your shy ness and how you say you dont look at people. You are beautiful and wonderfully made by God and he has directed your life for such a time as this. Your testimony and what you are doing is amazing and helping others. I pray for you and your family always. I met Jackie at the mall at the store and I was humbled to meet and have a conversation with her and her family. The pain you guys have endured is alot but know God is always with you and you are an example of his work. I have dealt with all of what you are dealing with about anxiety and depression but God has healed me and I know he will you as well.. fear is not your future God is!!!

[@nilooroshan4175]

The entire time that I was watching you cry I wanted to give you a hug. Depression and anxiety is horrible to handle. I have it and it really just tears me up. Hugs!

[@highlieunexpectedrobles944]

This just goes to show that I need to comment more often everyone who loves and the pod needs to aswell because I enjoy your pod. I enjoy the coffee table conversation because it’s truly authentic and your right it’s hard out here for the anti social in a very hyper social world….

[@angypangy8513]

You are a amazing person,love how you put God in all things...you are so right give it to him and all will be well ❤love watching you..🙏🕊️

[@JosieRegino]

Please don’t stop your podcast…..I look forward to watching them. I am a person who has the same struggles with anxiety and depression. Don’t listen to the haters. Keep doing you!!! 🥰❤️😘

[@stephaniecanales240]

I just started watching your podcast and this is my first one and I have to say you literally have me hooked. As a mom of 3 who suffers with anxiety, social anxiety and ptsd you have made me feel not alone. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@lesabermea2945]

My Dad always said sweat the small stuff. Don’t allow the negative comments to stay with you. Keep on growing the best version of yourself! You got this!!

[@Kaitlynnsofia_]

You have such a sweet and genuine soul jenicka. May God fulfill your life with pure happiness and peace! You deserve the world, your mom is definitely proud of the women you’re becoming ❤

[@iamblessed4530]

Jenicka you are such an amazing young lady I would have never believed you were going thru so much! As I lay in my hospital bed fighting bacterial meningitis I thought to myself let me go see if we have a new podcast because I ABSOLUTELY luv and admire your podcast looking down or whatever else people complain about I luv it! U are doing a freaking fantastic job!!! Luv you and your ENTIRE family 💜

[@dorothy4719]

Your heart is so pure and sweet. You’re doing a great job! The thing that I see in your podcast that is different from the rest is your heart, your kindness, your sincerity. Don’t listen to anything negative and “just keep swimming, just keep swimming” - Dory 😊

[@4kaycee]

I admire you as a person, I struggle with anxiety myself! No one can judge. Keep doing what your doing regardless your doing a great job even though no one is perfect ❤️ love you Jenicka

[@susanaledesma31]

The facts that you are talking about it and open about it it’s truly a sign of healing! Because you are recognizing hey I’m going through n I need help! God bless you! It’s time to break those cycles 🔁 in Jesus name!! We can do it 🤍🙌🏼🙏🏼

Jenicka, I love your podcast. I think you’re doing an amazing job. I look forward to every episode and admire your vulnerability. Thank you 💖

[@devonicacarrasco4729]

I love watching your podcast! This episode was very vulnerable and I know you’ve helped so many. You have such a loving, beautiful heart and I love to see what God is doing through you ❤️ Continue doing what you are doing. I love following you on all social media platforms! You are a beautiful person! Thank you for praying for us all. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers also 🙏🏽 ❤️

[@loue8651]

There's a saying that used to always say I never understood it until I did it myself " let go and let God". I never really knew how to do it because I was like you. I didn't know how to let go of my feelings. I'm very sensitive and emotional person. I'm shy but I just thought you know what I can't get in my own way. I do now i just say a little prayer asked God to come in hold my hand and help me. I take a step back and let it go. it works takes a while but after a while you're like oh my God it's so much easier!❤🙏🏽

[@7melssx]

thank you for this jenicka. i have been battling with anxiety & depression for the past 2 years and recently it has really taken a toll on me. it’s so hard because we think we’re the only ones that feel this way. acknowledging my anxiety and managing my breathing has been such a great help on calming myself down when i start to feel it. sending you all the love & you’re doing an amazing job with the pod! 🤍

[@kimberlyl7497]

Jenicka your podcast have helped me a lot everytime I have anxiety I listen to your podcast and it brings me comfort ❤

Dear Jennica, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible podcast episode on anxiety. As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I was deeply moved by your words. Your story and insights truly touched my heart and have been a great source of inspiration for me. Your willingness to share your experiences has made me feel understood and empowered. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and for reminding me that I am not alone in this journey. Gratefully, Sara

[@carenescobedo1686]

Girl you are doing fine….I praise your courage and continue to do your podcasts how ever you feel comfortable doing them..I bet the people telling you how to do your podcasts wouldn’t have the courage or ovaries like your momma said to do what you do! You are a wonderful person. Don’t change a thing about how or what you are or do. ❤sending good vibes your way. And also I so understand you about the shy part, not having many friends, not being social, anxiety, all of the above. But Jenicka you are not alone momma. Love ya 🫶🏼

[@susyloera9807]

Hi mija it really helped me. I have Bad anxiety and depression. I am trying hard to work with it. It's been years battling it. You don't have to apologize or give explanations to where you are looking at. You can see down up it's okay. My anxiety feels like am gona die. I live in the county of San Diego. Would love to share my testimony of lifetime I am a little older. I am a breast cancer Survivor. Flesh eating bacteria Survivor. Given away at birth. Found my birth certificate for the first time at the age of 49yrs (1st time) Would share this with you if you are on these matters. And remember just keep asking God for his peace not the one that comes from the world but he's peace alone.. Love you Jenika. May the go Lord continue to bless you.

[@valerielozano2038]

You’re doing great! Im 68 and it relaxes me to listen to your podcast before bed. I give you a lot of credit for doing it! I never could or would. Just be yourself. You must ignore the mean people.

[@mareezy4850]

And this is what makes you different from everyone else! Your podcasts episodes have been great don’t let anyone bring you down or say you need to fix this and fix that! We ARE ALL NOT PERFECT! You continue being you ❤❤ thank you for opening up to us!

Thank you for being so vulnerable with us.. I’m sorry people have been super judgmental with you! Keep doing you!

[@brendam888]

12:04 omg jenicka I enjoy the questions you ask! Some are good! And I do love that you don’t ask them uncomfortable questions or like chisme questions. I learned a lot from Elsy on your podcast that I didn’t hear on other podcast that she did. ❤ you’re great👍🏾😂🔥😘🥰 I enjoy it

[@Brokenjourneythepodcast]

Thank you for being so vulnerable. Unfortunately people love to talk crap behind the keyboard. You are doing AMAZING! It's so hard to be in the public limelight from such a young age. Not to mention having anxiety etc. You got this! Keep going...❤

[@monseflores8659]

Jenicka I love your podcast please don’t stop. I personally love hearing you and learning about you. 🫶🏼❤️

[@GM-ue8xc]

Jenicka, I just want to say you’re doing such an incredible job with your podcast 😊 I am 41, so the fact that I am watching you & being able to relate to you, with you being so much younger just shows how much of a special person you are 🤍 Always remember that your podcast is a reflection of who you are as a person, so just do what is best & what is comfortable for you. Those who aren’t/can’t be happy for others usually are not happy with themselves & you can’t please everyone. You are amazing & I can’t wait for more seasons & episodes! Thank you for being vulnerable to the best of your ability 🤍 Much love, from Alaska 😘

[@iamstephaniem-1517]

Thank you so much for being so open and raw. I also struggle with anxiety after my mom passed in 2019. I absolutely love the meaning behind your podcast. When my anxiety is creeping up on me I pray and sing worship music. I cry it out and feel my feelings. Grief is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with and it comes and goes. I am praying for you and your mental health. Un día ala vez 🫶🏼🤍

[@steffy09ish]

Listen. I just started listening to your podcast again. I watched all the first season & it hasn’t popped in my feeds since then so I didn’t know you were so far into the 2nd season already! I saw you did a pod with Ilya and Suzy so I started listening to your other episodes while I’m at work. Your voice is so soothing & I love your conversations with people. They are raw, laid back and don’t feel forced at all. I LOVE how you get into talkin about who they are as people and not just chisme. I had this thought before even hearing you say that. Honestly. Listening to your podcast is a breath of fresh air Jenicka. I had NO idea that people are commenting shit like that to you because I haven’t been in the comments at all, since I’m at work while listening. & I’m just commenting this to say that I didn’t see any issues with your conversation style or “you not making eye contact.” WHO GIVES A FCK!!! People really find the need to comment about that? For what?? For likes and replies from other haters?? I can’t stand that mob mentality bullying bullsht. I don’t see THEM in front of a camera or managing/dealing with a production set etc. think about it that way. Don’t look at those comments and let them get to you girl because you are making a difference in people’s lives regardless. & your message is reaching people in more ways than you know!!! We appreciate you & will continue to support you because honestly who has the time to judge someone for not making fckn eye contact!!!!!!? SMH this made me mad 😂

[@CindyFlores-y4g]

Jenicka! You’re such an amazing person and such a great host. People are truly rude and mean but you’re beyond amazing. My daughter and I love your podcasts. We love you ❤️ I admire you.

[@rosioreynoso]

Girl ur doin great dont let haters put u down. Ive watched u on i love jenni since years ago and u are who u are. Dont let anything to get to u u do what ur comfortable wit.

[@juliag2935]

This episode made me love you even more. The vulnerability and openness is much appreciated not everyone is strong enough to open up about stuff like this. For different reasons than you, I feel like I was forced to grow up faster, had to take care of my younger siblings because my mom worked 24/7, didn’t get the normal/fun teenage or high school experience(attending football games, prom etc.), never had many friends and still don’t due to trust issues and at times it does take a toll on me because I’m still young even though I LOVEEE being alone. It’s hard to just go out and make friends or be talkative like everyone else around me. I feel you girl you’re not alone 🩷

[@JenickaLopez]

Thank you for this ❤

[@rosamiron1634]

Kind hearts are criticized the most. Surfing depression and going through it by myself has been hard because I’m the head of my family. Alway protecting the family. I never thought of mental days. After watching this I know I need a mental day.

[@vanessaestrada5817]

Jenicka!! My heart is with you, lovely! I completely understand where you’re coming from. I also struggle with OCD and social anxiety and it saddens me that we need to explain ourselves to be/feel accepted. You are perfect just the way you are🫶🏼 you’re great at what you do and I’m sorry people are so inconsiderate and insensitive. Love you!!!

[@magicallyloops]

I almost didn't write this comment "bc someone else would" but jenicka I promise you that you're more than enough! you have such a beautiful soul you care and love others you can feel it in your energy. people that leave mean comments and leave hate on you and your every move can simply leave and not know about you at all. its their choice and its also their decision to come here or keep watching. remember each time when they leave hate that their heart is so bitter enough to leave a hateful comment, it has nothing to do with what you did. their heart is so hard they are doing that to feed their ego. you're an amazing person and if you dont make eye contact thats okay we don't get mad at a blind person for not looking at us so we need to understand that some things are simply not in our control. I dont make eye contact and when I do its to much eye contact you can never please people so please continue to be you! love you

[@SandiM491]

I'm probably your mom's age and I deal with anxiety :( I have grown kids.......at one time in life I think we all deal with it. Please don't be so hard on yourself. This might be a trend? Because a lot of people been going through it, beating themselves up because people in their comments, been being a-holes!! plus we need to just watch the news to see we are not alone, plus shit in the world is so crazy since the pandemic? so many people are changing? Love you and your siblings every since the show. Everything you've said is true, I lost my mom when I was 20, and after having my first child, I having a big family yet I felt so alone. I went through life with anxiety. Prayers for those who deal with it. You had me crying, because it seemed like you were talking about my life too? wished I could have reached through my screen and gave you a gentle hug. Keep going because your are doing good.

[@tonicastro4685]

Thank you for sharing. This episode hit home and to be honest this is your show. The way you approach people on your show should be up you. You’re an amazing host.

This is the best episode yet. Not because your sad and crying but, because you are showing us "you". Such a beautiful soul. Thanks for opening up. 🥰🥰🥰

[@PA_FoodMama]

Ugh mamaita watching this gave me chills because I suffer from severe anxiety and have a huge fear of flying. To the point when I won’t travel anywhere . Then of course Covid hit and the I get social anxiety worried that I was going to get sick and die and leave my daughter behind. You got this mamita you are strong ! Thank you for showing your true colors thank you for bringing awareness or to even speak a little about this for people who may not know

[@karenruiz6668]

You’re so brave for being vulnerable. But there’s power in that, you have a big purpose. Your struggle with anxiety can help someone in their own chapter. The verse that came to mind to speak into you & pray over you is, Psalms 34:18 “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those crushed in spirit.” Tie this verse around your life. Cheering for you mama!

[@LaRisa0147]

GIRL I LOVE YOU AND ALL YOUR FLAWS KEEP GOING KEEP GROWING!! Your doing amazing mama! I recently found you cause I kept hearing good things and finally you came across my account and I didn’t even know I was watching who everyone kept talking about and let me tell you I’m HOOKED!

This is so relatable Jenicka. Thank you for bringing light to anxiety and how people struggle sometimes people just don't understand.

[@melgonzalez5125]

Totally understand the eye contact situation. I bet you all the people who commented on that, aren't perfect and if the tables were turned we could find things they need to work on. You are human! Despite being shy, look at you on camera. That's amazing! I wish you all the success in your future endeavors ❤

Thank you for posting this you don’t understand how much this helps and how much peace you give by opening up about this. It’s so difficult and I feel alone sometimes with someone who struggles with anxiety. Like I can’t can’t do certain things and I overthink. Most definitely ocd. Counting and portions etc is a struggle I struggle with. Overthinking. Speaking. Everything. I know how it feels dude. But your such a strong person who is literally helping other people become more stronger and feeling better about this. So thank you girl. Stay up love 🩷🥹

My daughter also had the same problem in school, and around others she never looked anyone eye to eye she always had a habbit of looking down. She went thru things in school having social anxiety. I wish you could talk to her you both have a lot in common😊 I pray god will continue to guide you bless you. And help you to truly have peace with in.. stay strong jenika you had the best role modle your momma🦋

[@janevee4732]

Jenicka thank you for this episode 💕 despite our very different lives, I feel like we’re all alike if that makes sense. I myself struggle with anxiety and I completely feel you that it’s hard to make eye contact when you’re uncomfortable or getting anxiety. God has truly helped me through my those scary times. No one realizes why i always carry a cold water with me too but that also helps! My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 41:10 ❤ “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness” love you girl! We got this 💪🏼 & you are doing amazing on this podcast! Please don’t ever stop posting 🫶🏻

[@rubysmith9711]

Jenika.... I am almost 45 years old...and I hear you... I am a mother and I am listening to what you're saying.. trust me... you have come along way... I have watched your family for many many years and I have always seen a bright light in your eyes.... you're a survivor, a lioness and such a beacon of light. Girl.. I don't look at a lot of people either.. and that is basically to keep evil away, because I desire positive energy... it's a defense mechanism... you have come along way and I see your strength and your determination. You got this

[@yeseniabahena217]

You are doing great I’m the same way I have anxiety . I can relate so much , 💐

[@marissaacuna5189]

You’re an inspiration Jenicka! Not a lot of people have the courage to host a podcast and open up the way you are here! No everyone will understand your story and it’s okay because it’s not theirs to read, some people just don’t understand different perspectives. You’re doing an amazing job!!! ❤❤❤

[@jessicachiquito5300]

Thanks so much for this episode Jenicka! I too struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. And I also have a lot of anxiety when it comes to flights. Thankfully, my anxiety has gotten a lot better with therapy and other coping mechanisms. But I related to this episode so much. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable with us. You have no idea what it means to those who go through the same battles. Best wishes for you ❤
