They really do. They really try to trap therapists into working more for them but it’s massively underpaid

She's the queen of empty and unethical brand partnerships. a true girl boss

My fav one is “I bless you and release you.” Learning to let toxic and narcissistic people go should be a life skill that people of all ages should LEARN. They’re not worth you. You deserve a reciprocal relationship or a healthy relationship because toxic ones will stunt your overall growth and ruin your overall wellbeing.

[@sunnik1019]

What would you do however if this person is your supervisor?? Your company and people are amazing, but you ended up with the worst narcissistic supervisor who feels threatened by you?

The top is gorgeous! Regarding truths, great to receive external opinions and filtering is key regarding discernment on what to keep or not keep.

[@fallinguplookingdown]

[@nellivilhelmiina]

Like this video. But in the topic of learning. I hope you would’ve digged a little deeper on the sponsor, their lawsuit, claims of unprofessional and unethical behaviour etc. I get that they sponsor and this is the job, but it’s a therapy service after all. 🌝

For those who keep asking "What's happen to Ben ?" obviously they already split, if not divorced You don't even need Jenn's verbal confirmation , you can easily tell from her recent video contents.

ily Jenn, I hope you’re doing well. You look so beautiful recently. I hope your son is doing well. I love your videos, I plan to rewatch your motherhood and preggo playlist when I get pregnant, so I feel not so lonely when it happens, god willing. You really helped me release my anxiety around the topic of having kids and gave me the hope to start this important chapter of life. Thank you. Wishing you the best in the future.

[@EmmaNorth1]

All of these quotes really resonated with me - I don’t really read self improvement books but I always get inspired when I hear you talk about these topics and the books you read. Really enjoyed this video as usual x

Wow, really great advice! I love the focus on the task now and it'll trickle down to everything. I'm a curious person and love to learn new things. Just have trouble making the time for it.

[@EarthyAly]

You literally always have something fresh to say! Loved this so much

[@cleigh3796]

The company that sponsored this video has a record of unethical behavior (specifically stuff that's bad for its customers and makes the quality of the service bad). Jenn either didn't research the company before deciding to advertise for them, or she knew of their history and decided to anyway.

[@Esandeech2]

THIS! Better Help is horrible!

[@laurencerousseau23]

I AGREE. They pay so many influencers, they promote it but they don't personally use the service.

[@Matchalemoncake12345]

What did they do??

[@Zetta333]

I used Better Help. I don’t know what the claims are, but I know it made therapy more accessible to me. I think it does for a lot of people. I also know someone who is a therapist on that platform, and she’s happy with her work….

[@Tanyapaperbacks]

Exactly.

don't take 'truth advice' from someone who can't tell it 🙄

[@keenangameplay]

I love your sit-down videos unnie. Keep going!

[@MelySea]

First point - so true and I encounter this during the last two years 😢❤ Third point- that so true!!

[@pipperlue]

She always has so much endless advice for every little aspect of life. It’s so interesting how much time people spend overanalyzing life thinking they can iron out every imperfection to avoid every pitfall or “wasted” minute not being productive or hyper efficient. As much great things you can glean from these super rich young people giving these pointers everyday, I would not want to have their lives. I feel the rigidity, pressure for perfection and tightness from a million miles away

[@BaDazai]

🥰 In a world of billions, I appreciate the diversity of how people aproach and live life. I love the Jens, the easy goers, the jump in head first, the don't think about it, the yolo, the monks, the cynics, the persemistiscs and the super organised people of the world! Everyone deserves to choose their way of life, including Jen, you and me. There is not right way when it comes to living. ❤

Don’t you just love it when you click a video and it’s always “sponsored”. What happened to genuine connection. I just don’t understand KZbinrs anymore. They’ve become unrelatable. I don’t need therapy, I just pray.

[@Grrizzle]

What happened is more people have youtube as their job as opposed to many years ago. At the end of the day even if it's content they want to share it's still business. What can you do 🤷‍♀️ Either you want to consume or not right? There's lots of smaller vloggers who don't really do sponsorships but those aren't their point of income anyway!

[@estherkim1765]

[@grayonthewater]

It’s really interesting to hear how your perspective has changed over the years, thanks for sharing! The only one I disagree with is “how you do one thing is how you do everything”, I’ve never found that to be true across the board and the only people I know who believe that also have confirmation bias and see it in place that I would argue objectively prove them wrong lol but the end of the day it’s whatever works for you

[@danielle7961]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this vid, very interesting! Also thanks grayonthewater for sharing your comment. I agree as well! Just because someone approaches one aspect of their life in a particular way doesn't necessarily mean they will approach everything in the same manner. People are complex and multifaceted, and their behavior can be influenced by various factors such as their environment, emotions, beliefs, and experiences.

I think a lot of your viewers really love hearing you discuss life lessons, personal topics, etc. If you want to keep your romantic and family life private, perhaps you could have a running Q&A series with your KZbin friends about different topics (grief, relationships, life in your 30s, fashion advice, parenting etc.) That way, we still get your perspective on things but you can keep Lennon and family private.

[@perhapsanya]

If Jenn isn’t sharing anything about her relationship I believe it’s because she wants to keep it private. Let’s try to respect that 🫶🏽

[@All9Boys]

@@perhapsanya The fact is, she chose to become a public figure. Over the years, she shared her journey. from courtship to motherhood. Ben was a part of that journey that she made public. It goes without saying that her fans are aware of his absence. If nothing else, she ought to own that and deal with the big issue. We know it's between her and Ben, so please don't divulge any information. That way, maybe, people would cease asking questions about Ben.
