Loved your thoughts about motherhood! Not only are there women for whom getting pregnant is not easy, there also women who simply do not want to have children. It’s fine. It‘s their live. It‘s their choice. The exact same way that it is a very personal choice to have kids. It is not that the planet desperately needs more humans. It’s a personal choice and no one else’s business.

Thank you so much for being so candid about this journey, it's been so incredibly inspiring! And especially thank you for being so frank in your discussion about topics related to having/not having children. As a 30+ woman without children, I have so many people in my life that minimize my time, my personal or professional accomplishments, or my choices simply because I don't yet have children. It's so refreshing to see another person be honest about children not needing to be the main defining point of a woman's life. Also lol I know you hate running but HGW has inspired me to officially set up my half marathon training schedule
@justinecallaghan3708 Жыл бұрын
Amen!!! The one thing that reassures me about my choices are the fact that there are other women feeling the exact same way. Why should not having children mean our accomplishments are less meaningful? Sometimes I feel that no matter how successful I am, it will never be good enough for society as motherhood is seen as the ultimate achievement

I have been taking care of my business partners granddaughter for a month. I never had children of my own so a month was about Max for me. I enjoy their company but I have no intentions nor did I of having my own. My animals take up enough of my time that I don't think I could give the attention to a child anyways. Wouldn't be fair to them. My mom and I are grateful we have no grandchildren. We still have fullfilled lives anyways.

My therapist the other day when we were talking about my own personal HGW journey said “you’ve told me what you want less of… less drinking, less junk food, less “stuff”, less filler in your routines… But what do you want more of?” and knowing that more didn’t have to be tangible. More time to relax the brain (I’m a teacher full time so that’s hard for me and something I need to work on), more quality time with those you love, more movement… and then prioritizing those mores and knowing that more doesn’t have to mean busier, cluttered, etc. I think one thing I’d love to see from the HGW Series are to see more of your non-tangible mores! We know the program, working out, and the walks are all a part of the overall process and I’m so thankful for the inspiration! I’m just curious to what the other things that fill your non physical cup are and think that also falls into HGW and your overall health 🥰 Love this series so much and it was exactly what I needed this holiday season!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Love that you addressed the women without children topic, as a woman in her early thirties who has chosen not to have kids, this has always been a touchy topic for me. Its reassuring when you hear other women talk about not diminishing accomplishments based on whether they are mothers or not is very helpful to remind yourself you are not alone. I think the era of taking everything with a grain of salt and using your own knowledge, intuition and feelings to whether or not you believe, follow, copy, disagree, agree etc is upon us. We are responsible for our own lives and that weight shouldn't be put on influencers or celebrities etc. Yes they hold power, but so do you. Trust you know what's best for you without thinking everyone knows better. Take care of your community, spread love and kindness and most of all take care of you, however that looks.

10000000% agree with the low intensity exercise! It was mindblowing to me the change that I've seen with switching to pilates/barre with weight training. I never thought I could become a girl who could find consistency in working out at least 4-5 times a week, but now I see that it can be sustainable! It was totally not sustainable when I was also doing f45 and Orangetheory, and beating myself up if I didn't burn x amount of calories, sweat enough, or if I felt too sore or painful to go to a class I booked. Low intensity for the win! It's helped keep me going this #HGW along with my meal plan, and the changes i've made are forever changes, partly in thanks to you, Lan! It feels so cool to have you and your little community virtually in my corner ❤️ 😭

I believe it helps tremendously to have realistic expectations. My goal is to move every day (unless I'm sick), but I don't force myself to do a super strict workout routine. If I really don't feel like it, I tell myself I just have to do the bare minimum, which is to *move* in some way, so I might go for a quick walk, do a couple of exercises or a 5 minute workout video. Most days, I'm motivated to do more after that, but otherwise that's fine as well. Consistency is more important to me😊

You literally mention the same ideals I do about health and fitness and I’ve also discovered the Huberman Podcast and various other podcasts and content creators in this area. So, thoroughly enjoying what you’ve shared thus far. I’m 2024, I’d love to see more gym content (workouts, split etc.), product recos (fitness and health), and daily routine videos and how your life has changed since prioritizing your health and fitness. Lastly, nutrition and diet videos chatting through macros, cals etc. obviously knowing everyone is different but I like hearing what has worked/is working for others.

The human experience!) - but also thank you for having the courage to speak up and spreading awareness as it relates to women that may not be able to have children, or don't wish to have children. Commenting consciously is so important. I tend to believe that people have inherent positive intent, and don't realize how hurtful or disheartening they are being. Words can leave scars. People's comments affect hearts they may never see, know or understand. May we all practice opening our hearts beyond our own life experience. ♥ ....and I AM TOTALLY ON BOARD with HGW!!!!

#HGW is my favorite thing you’ve ever started. I love it and I love the way you’re going about it. It is absolutely inspiring. I want to hear more about the struggles and the positive impacts you notice. Thank you!

Thanks for touching on the motherhood topic! I said out loud "amen sister" when you said you're not going to let the facts of not having children at this time for whatever reason diminish your accomplishments! Love this because sometimes we're made to feel "less than" if we don't have kids for whatever reasons. Love the honesty and transparency and understanding of your HGW vlogs! ❤

I have never commented on any KZbin video ever but this video and giveaway specifically is so exciting and generous. I’m getting married in June 2024 in Vancouver and where I’m from the sun sets earlier and getting the motivation to stay active is getting so so difficult. #HGW has seriously changed my mood during these darker months and got me out of a negative headspace of starting an unrealistic diet weeks before my wedding. I got a walking pad to get my 10k steps in and im smashing 3-4 days at the gym despite my job as a social worker. I appreciate Allana talking about respecting that we all have different lifestyles and what works for you may not work for someone else. It’s been so motivating and also inspiring watching all the #HGW videos. When I look and feel my best for my wedding I legit am giving all credits to Allana and HGW! Lol x

I'm looking forward to working on having more peace of mind. Learning to manage my anxiety and taking better care of myself physically. I have an autoimmune disorder and my mental health has really taken a toll on my physical health. BUT I have slowly been working on my health and trying to build better habits that are sustainable. I am soo looking forward to reaping the benefits of putting in the work in 2024 the further I get into making my lifestyle change! Thank you so much for the motivating content!!💛

HGW has completely changed my perspective on health and fitness - I’ve always been a relatively sporty person but have never been a gym gal and honestly used to kind of resent people who were really into the gym. But it was because diet culture and fitness ‘bros’ never resonated with me - it’s so aggressive and intense and weight loss focused, but your focus on just feeling good in your body really hits home. I’m now genuinely excited to focus more on my wellbeing in 2024 and make it something fun and exciting rather than daunting, so thank you Lan, real pleasure to follow along with your journey ☺️💕

You’ve inspired me so much!! I have a daughter and solo parent when my husband travels and I had so many excuses of why I can’t be healthy. I can always get steps in - walks and I have a treadmill! And I LOVED hearing the you don’t have to be dripping in sweat. I thought the same thing!!!! But I have been doing low intensity weight lifting and walking. Plus all this started up when my husband and I stopped drinking. No more hangxiety, hangovers, better sleep. More motivation!

I Can understand how people feel about things being un relatable when you’re watching influencers. However, I feel like you did a great job explaining how not everything that we see has to apply to us. Which in retrospect makes absolute sense but it can be very easy to feel like you HAVE to be doing everything to this “perfect standard” or it doesn’t count. Your little chat was very heart warming! I do hope you’ll do more of these in the new year! ♥️ Happy holidays!

What an amazing giveaway!! So agree with your reflection on peoples comments. Do not let others to diminish your achievement. Your body composition has changed because your work hard for it. If someone chooses to watch tv instead of going for an evening walk (maybe take your kids with you?), that's fine. We all have choices in life, we really do. You have been such a motivation, thank you😘

I have loved this hgw series and watching you evolve. I remember when I started to watch you I was very into fitness and you talked about how you tried so hard to be as well and it’s been so great to watch you evolve! This is really all I want for the people in my life too. And damn! This giveaway is amazing and so thoughtful !!!!!!

Please keep this up! Been following you since day one and I feel like my life is less interested in makeup and beauty and consuming way more healthy and wellness content. And you’re my favorite so this is very satisfying for me! ❤

Lan, i just wanted yo say that I LOVE your approach to fitness. Accepting the fact that your preferences, style, needs and lifestyle have changed and finding ways to work in tune with that to achieve your goals is so inspiring. I often feel like if I choose a way (going to a specific class, eating a specific way etc.) means that I must stick to that for life even if I notice it does not work for me anymore and seeing you accept changes like that is both motivating AND reassuring in a way. Big love and I hope 2024 brings you all the lifestyle improvments you wish for!

Love love love that you are speaking more freely about your thoughts and perspective on different topics. Love to see this evolution in your channel. Would love to see more of these thoughts not only on the HGW matter but anything that you feel like it needs to be shared with your community.

Allana, thank you so much for addressing the motherhood issues. As far as I can remember I have always wanted to become a mother and when I learned at age 15 that I could never have children it broke me and 20 years later it is still a very sensitive subject. Thank you for being compassionate and such a kind human being. I also love the transparency and honesty in all of your content, that is so refreshing especially when it is so much easier with social media to embellish reality.

This is SO relatable. Those days when you just can’t seem to get out of your bad mood are killer. I’m so glad you’re opening up about your health/wellness/fitness journey more, and plan to continue. I started mine in September of this year, and though only 4 months in it has changed my life. I still have a long way to go, but I’m excited to see where it takes me. This giveaway made me tear up. The fact that both you and DIY body are offering something like this that can change someone’s life in such a positive way brings me so much joy. ❤

We truly are the captain of our own life and have all the power at improving our wellbeing. As you say, we do only have one body and we must do our best to cherish it. That may look different for many people and it all take time. We must give each other grace/compassion and you show yourself that which is very motivating. I am on my own journey and have been determined to get my body at its prime. I have loved following you for years now and I feel like I have grown with you, it truly means a lot that you put in so much work into all these videos. Happy Holidays ♥ Ps. Would love to see videos on your favourite workout clothing, body care post-workout and if you could develop "challenges" that aim to implement new habits.

Been a viewer for at least 5 years now and this is by far one of the most transformative lanmases. Following your fitness journey after hearing about your continuous curiosity in the space and body goals it’s so incredible to see you on the other side of it like this. I started taking health and wellness very seriously a few months ago and am so happy to feel like I’m growing with your content beside you! I’d love to see more on the mental side of HGW in terms of newfound confidence and integrating new styling choices as a result of it. As someone who’s also hoping to feel the most healthy and confident I’ve ever felt, thanks so much as always Allana ❤️

You have been inspiring me so so much with HGW. I "met" Huberman through you. I would love to see more of the struggle and how to be stronger than it. I loved how you began this video it made me feel I'm not alone. Thank you. And for everyone reading, I wish you a happy and healthy 2024. This has been a difficult year, so I can only wish you happiness and health ❤

I honestly really do appreciate you taking us through a “not so great” day because we all have those. It’s also super refreshing to hear the reminder that we are not all the same and that’s OKAY!! Excited to see more health and wellness content from you in 2024! (Selfishly would love to see more cooking videos for inspo.)

And THAT giveaway OMG 😭I would cry if I get a month of DIY body. I have been very lost with what to do exactly in my fitness routine, what exercises would work the best for me, etc. Have been dying to try it since you first mentioned!! 💗 Still can't believe #Lanmas is ending so soon!

These are my favorite videos of yours ❤️ I love the vulnerability and candid discussion. I also love seeing people who are on the internet and whose lives we see on the internet to be very glamorous and fun and hearing about their grumpy mornings and how they plan to discipline themselves to get out of it. I feel it. I feeeeeeel it!
