practically held my BREATH til you confirmed that the travel vlogs would still be happening. you are one of the few VERY inclusive beacons of the distube community, and as a queer, nonbinary, trans person, I cannot express how much I was going to MOURN any and all disney vacation adventures. SO glad to see that isn't the case, and I can't wait to hop over to the other channel to see the mix of living and travelling! Good on you and your team for respecting your limits and knowing when to cut things to make life easier

I’ll never forget watching your brand new channel 6 years ago when i was freshly postpartum in a new city feeling anxious and alone. You soothed me, got me out of my anxious mind for 20ish minutes, and brought me a lot of joy. I’m feeling nostalgic of those early times when you hit 30+ subscribers and were so humble and wonderful. i remember that first give away! Here’s to you, Jen 🥂! For dreaming big, knowing your limits, setting boundaries, not compromising your values, and overall being an inspiring woman. Of course I follow your Joyful Living chanel and excited for how that will flourish with this decision to consolidate.
