[@thepaintedhuckleberry356]

This was the best thing I have seen in a long time!! At 60 years of age I can testify that everything in life revolves around our relationship with ourselves, knowing yourself and most importantly loving yourself is key to loving someone else or letting them love you. Unresolved issues I think age us physically and spiritually. Love yourself because there is only one of you, and you are perfect! I tell myself that every day, I told my kids this and I now tell my grandkids. WE are not perfect but we are perfectly imperfect, that is the beauty of life. Thank you for sharing and sparking these conversations, we don't talk about any of this enough!

Here's a daddy issue... Mine just got diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer! I moved from California to New Hampshire about 6 years ago in an effort to find myself and find more freedom, but now, I have to go all the way back. And I HAVE to. My Dad has limited time and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't get back there as soon as possible and spend as much quality time as I can. My mother, who is miraculously still together with him after all these years, needs all my help through this process and beyond. I will be moving back in the next month or so, and I know that's the right thing to do. Nevertheless, it's tough to make a huge life change like that. Wish me luck!

[@DominiQaLoveJustin]

good luck! AfterI graduated I had to move back to my home country because of my mothers stage 4 cancer and I had to take care of her because my dad had to work.. It was tough, but Im happy that I could be with her till the end...Good luck for you.

[@chrisjohnson1599]

Parents, for better or worse, have a way of pulling you back in, don't they? It's not their fault, and I do think you're making the right decision. I gave up a lot of my own dreams when my dad had a stroke. He's still with us, but he's never worked, or even driven a car, since. It's a decision that you hope you never have to make, but you know what decision you have to make when it happens. They took care of you growing up and you just return the favor because you love 'em. If you're going back to your old home town, look up some of your old friends and catch up on things when you need some time to yourself. There may be another reason that life is drawing you back there. Best wishes and God bless you and your family.

[@rayfreeman2305]

You may be a beautiful and very intelligent young lady and I am an old dog (83) but I am extremely happy that I found your channel a year or so ago. I think you must be an inspiration to a lot of young people that are not sure where they should go in this crazy world. You are an excellent example of how one can be open to others but also know what should be private. Your journey has been long and I believe there have been many happy times and some that were not so happy but that is part of life and you are approaching it in an open way. You are a fantastic person for Rio, what a journey she is on with you. We all love you and wish you nothing but the best. For almost 50 years I was in one of those relationships where what I did was never good enough but I stayed with her until her death because that was what the vows we said at our wedding said I should do. As a result I have not received much love for many years and have been trying to change that over the past 6 years but it is difficult to find new love, true love, at my age. Some of the places you have travelled to are beautiful. Some of those gatherings with other nomads appear to have been magical and great for both your heart and your soul. If you ever decide to travel north to Western Canada I would love to show you our part of the Rocky Mountains. Once again I say thank you for taking us along on your journey and I hope you have lots of wonderful experiences ahead of you. I also hope that somewhere along your path you find a wonderful 'gentleman' that is open to showing you lots of love and care in whatever way you would like and not just how he wants things. They are hard to find but there are some great ones out there. I look forward to your next video whenever you post. You are beautiful in many more ways than just your good looks.

At my 40th class reunion I did meet (again), the love of my life ! We made the perfect team. We lived our dream for a short 2 1/2 years (together 4 yrs). But our dream was together and only a few little spats it was wonderful. We took care of each other. She suddenly passed away. And I have been aimless since. Regretlyss is traveling many places we traveled and enjoyed. I am grateful for your openness. I love that you have settled in the mountainous area. I love winter, my fiancee after living in Tucson for 40 years loved the winter too. Regretlyss you are more beautiful inside then out and very beautiful outside. Hugs Hon.

Hi Alyssa, I LOVED this style of video, I think you have found your calling! I also think ‘ask Alyssa’ is the perfect name for this segment! I watch a lot of Van life videos and I think you’re right to have a mix of your whole life, from Van life to cottage renovations to wisdom, it keeps it interesting! So many Van lifers run out of steam after a while, and you can tell they are either desperately trying to force something to be interesting or they end up posting erratically. The way you are doing it it much more fluid and more ‘real’. Like we are coming along in life with you, as you said. And you are sharing your wisdom learnt along the way. Which is much appreciated! I think you have more depth and wisdom than many folk twice your age, and a very clear, gentle, non judgemental and concise way of putting things, that’s a real gift, please continue to use it. ‘Be a force for good’ springs to mind, because that’s what you’re doing here! Looking forward to what you create next! Shell 💖

I've had " Daddy " issues in my life. My dad was emotionally unavailable. He was a great person, provided for all of us kids and did everything for us. There were instances where I was badly hurt by his not meeting my emotional needs. It caused me great problems with men in my life. I recognize the correlation between my dad and what I didn't get from him and how I had such a bad time staying in relationships. I also realize and wondered what kind of upbringing did he have. I think it comes full circle in the dysfunction with our families. I forgive my dad who isn't with me anymore. He did the best he could and I truly loved him. I loved your comment to the person who is in love with his sons girlfriend. This situation has boundaries and I agree what you said about trying to figure out why he has these feelings. I think you are a very bright and lovely young lady. You will definitely go far in life. I wish you the very best. Stay safe through your wonderful journey of life!! ❤

wow...that is exactly my story!! And my dad did have a rough upbringing. His own father never told him he loved him even once in his whole life. All of his family are weird, I mean like they don't share their feelings, never say I love you, etc. If you walk up to them and try to hug them because you haven't seen them in a long time- they back away and act like you're trying to give them the plague or something.

I always appreciate your honestly and williness to open to us. I feel like you've put together a real community, group of healing. I'm still dealing with the passing of my Dad from Cancer which happened so fast and my brother from something different which happened months apart. And then my now my Mom who is slowly dying from COPD. And now, I have no help beside my Mother in law and wife to help take care of her. And it's a struggle. My entire life has changed and I haven't been happy in a long time. Oh and my fur baby of 15 years died. I just feel trapped, alone, scared and not sure how to help her. On top of that, as an online entrepreneur, due to everything that happened my business took a hit. And now I'm unsure what to do. For the first time ever, I have no clue what to do as an entrepreneur now. So I've been trying to find myself, find healing and happiness. And it hasn't been easy. It's a journey and I appreciate your channel because I can tell you're also on a journey of healing, discovery and learning who you are. So here's too traveling this road with you and everyone else here. Thank you! Also, any books you read you feel or your heart feels could help me on this journey? I'm a very self reflecting, inner person. I know you've delt with loss too which is wh yI'm asking. And what where the names of the books you were reading?

[@RealRickCox]

@@REGRETLYSS I really enjoyed how you have taken the approach that if you want others to open up and be vulnerable, starting with yourself creates a space for others to follow suit. I was in a relationship with a girl for 11 years who had issues with her dad. When she decided to end our relationship, it was so she could be with a guy that was her dads age and who was emotionally bankrupt... just like her dad. And the funny part... he had the same name as me. Trading Ricks... could be an updated movie like Trading Places. I'm really glad KZbin decided to recommend your channel.

Hi Alyssa. I appreciate your willingness to have the difficult conversations. Here are a couple things I have learned about the topics you have pointed too. In order to have/experience Love, Trust, Integrity, Appreciation, Acknowledgement, Self esteem etc. You have to have them already in place for you. Give them to yourself. One must be the other side of the magnet to allow it to stick. Its like meeting someone who doesn't honer personnel boundaries. They haven't created any for themselves so they don't recognize what they are. Moving out of the mind/EGO and into your HEART it allows the ability to feel emotions. 😘

Dr. Phil, years ago, pointed out that if you don’t receive love and respect from your father, you will not look for it or expect it from the men in your life. You will only look for sex. That was a revelation for me as that had been my pattern for many years. I also did not look for emotionally receptive men because I was not emotionally receptive either. Actually, all of the men in my life were versions of my mother- unloving . I made that connection too late in life to make any changes that would have brought me happiness. It was only with the appearance of shows like Oprah and Dr. Phil did I become more self aware and gain an understanding of my motivations and choices. I just wish those shows had been around in my formative years so that I could have achieved more happiness in my life. People like to denigrate those shows now but before they were broadcast, there was very little discussion nationally of sensitive issues. It is great that you are spending time getting to know yourself better. At the same, don’t spend too much time on that mountain. At 75, I can tell you that youth is fleeting and time accelerates as you get older.

Plus, dealing with there estate since Sept 2021. Wow! Learning how strong and resourceful I am. Lastly, yes, I have been on a personal growth, spiritual healing and wellness path for a long time. Unsure what path I will take after the estate is done. First, #1.. heal from long term anxiety and trauma. Then find a way to sort through over 30 years of research on mind, body, spiritual, relationships, business, wellness, and success strategies to find my path. Thanks ☮️☺️

@Mrs_REGRETLYSS. Thank you. I would love to share. Will reconnect next week. Dealing with many estate projects . Otherwise, feeling emotional. Ready to take the next steps with my life but I have to always hold back and be patient. ☮️🙏

Our childhood is such a big part of our life and development . Our parents can cause trauma that we deal with for many years . We need to realize their faults are not caused by you .Forgiveness can lift a lot weight off us. I had a complicated relationship with both my parents. I learned forgiving them benefited me the most . I forgave my father a few years before he pasted away . My forgiveness didn’t mean we had a relationship. My forgiveness with mother allowed us to have a relationship but our relationship has not returned to complete mother son relationship I’ve learned to except what have . The forgiveness has soothed the pain of my childhood. I just wanted to give you a big hug to let you know everything will be alright .

Relationships are one of the most difficult things in life we ALL go through, PERIOD!

[@tomray790]

I've been watching you for a few years. Just wanted to let you know what a lovely person you are.

[@tylerdunn6578]

To see your love for your dog I know your capability for love is real.

[@paulf2123]

Just found you. Love your channel Very cool how open you are Hi from Texas. Happy very belated Valentines Day ❤

[@marybethlambert5678]

You just be you... that’s what I appreciate... your honesty

[@morganleighcallison]

this was a great video! love the format, the interaction and your confidence in sharing the way you do! 🎉

Having many partners is not the goal but having the right partner!

Known as 'Try before you buy'.

Any therapist will tell you that multiple partners will leave a permanent scar on future relationships. Even those with any kids you have later on.

[@nature10879]

Many partners can lead to abuse and attachment issues let alone stds. Drama etc etc.

[@cinephile1712]

I like when you mix things up and have chats/sharing/advice response vids even if I came here for the nomad content initially. And I also have issues with emotionally (and often geographically) unavailable men, so haaaaay. One reminder is just to add the resources you mentioned for the person/people looking to leave their relationship with a big caveat that it’ll look very different if that relationship is abusive.

[@sherirogers2649]

A beautiful and successful relationship is about compromise not being trapped. Accepting advice from anyone not involved in the subject matter should be taken lightly.

[@jasonbuker76]

For someone so young, you are incredibly emotionally mature. This video reminds me what is truly important and the need to reflect inward in understanding what is/isn't working and to move forward in living... truly living. Thank you! 😎

[@rwrindy2]

Trapped in your life?…hand raised. Hairs stood up when you talked about making new choices…but the focus not being big choices because I just listened Caroline Myss this morning. Talking about the Power of Choice (focus on the small stuff)! Made the small choice to post, share, and say thanks!

[@billjones4565]

Love your videos. Whatever kind you decide to do. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Also, the robe is fire.

[@nature10879]

From a grand scale of things point of view, looking at everything including stds, partners abuse, unwanted pregnancies,drama,psychological abuse and people's perceptions of a person which matters because it affects some people; Its wise to be monogamous or have less intimate partners. This comes from someone who loves women. I thank this queen for being authentic especially on the daddy issues.

[@dmgreenw]

You just reminded me I have avocados in my fridge drawer I heed to eat. I totally forgot. Thank you very much!

[@raymccormick545]

Alyssa, I love your at heart content and journey you are on. Your words are truly from the heart and words beyond your years. Two months ago, I lost my wife of over 41 years to a rare neurological disease that required me to be her caregiver for the past 5 years. My choice to care for her and put my life on hold to honor my wedding vow to her, our life was not always smooth sailing, we definitely had our fair share turbulent weather and rough seas. Communicate, communicate, communicate!! Thank you for this journey! ❤❤ If you continue this type periodically; “Confession’s at Heart”.

[@1978danielTaylor]

Great show/life , seems wonderful advice from a kind human hope you do this more!

[@shellreinhart2632]

I never comment but ... i absolutely loved this!!! Yes please continue this .. maybe a new monthly series?

[@kc3989-l1j]

Hi. Lyss. I am the only child and my confrssion is I was a daddy's girl growing up. It made me really picky with my partners. (My father passed away in 2010 and I miss him every single day today) 😥

[@mikemerlo4156]

I grew up in the 70's. It was a Freer time in life. It's amazing to watch how the younger crowd are finally rejecting all this woke mentality stuff. Whatever your truth is, just go with it. Don't try and push your truth on others, and reject those that do. You'll be a lot happier when you quit trying to impress others. On a side note Lyss, it was funny to "read between the lines, self first" while you were talking about sexuality, LOL. Fun channel, keep it up. Thanks.

[@YouMatterAndYouAreLoved]

Great video! Nobody should tell anybody (unfortunately, some do), what they think the other person should, or should not, do. Work wise, social life wise, personal life wise - never! I am glad you are doing what YOU want to do, and how you want to do it! Glad you keep the background music low, while talking!! Your words made so much sense. Thumps up.

[@tommoraga8318]

Good video, it’s always encouraging to hear someone else’s perspective on sensitive issues… Keep up the good work sharing your knowledge and background skills.

[@VinnieJo]

Hello Alyssa! I watch your videos because I really enjoy the company of you and Rio! Keep on doing and being you and don’t let anyone change that. Loved this video too!

[@kirkplane]

So pleased you have decided to continue doing the show and content you want to be doing. As your passions are put first you will be doing your best work. Always put yourself first and you will have happiness. Do not worry because love will find you and you will just have to feel your way. Your authenticity in your podcast is the grounding and success that you have created through being yourself!

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

Another single person here (guy). It has such a stigma but honestly it can be a refreshing break. As long as you have a few good friends and things you enjoy to keep you busy, it can be fine. Happy Valentines Day Lyssa! And yes, variety is great. Keep posting things that interest you. ☺ 🥰
