Hey, friend. Take this time to relax. Don’t overthink. Even if there is a problem, there is always a solution. Breathe, take care 💕

[@imjennim]

A great reminder!

[@gisellmabeline3076]

There are always more solutions than problems!

[@sophia08099]

When I saw this I instantly felt emotional,. The simplest things can bring comfort and ease thanks for sharing

[@emilyosburn25]

Am I the only one who loves when Jenn is sitting there talking, casually wrapped up like a burrito? 😂

[@imjennim]

It's my happy place! x

[@jinitheuniverse]

I can understand your fear of losing yourself in a way, but I do believe you will just have a new persona that acts more often for a certain period of your lifetime. You can be our girl Jenn, you can be a mama Jenn, you can be a CEO Jenn, you can be a creator Jenn, and so on.. countless. You are just so much to express throughout your entire life and I am rooting for you on the journey. You just be yourself as always ❤️

[@imjennim]

Thank you for this message. I'm tearing up as I read this. 🥺

[@mleleigh]

Yes, we are vast - we contain multitudes.

[@jinitheuniverse]

@@imjennim JJJJJJJEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN🥰 If there is a function of voice recording, I would definitely want to show you how much I'm shouting out your name now 🤣 I hoped it was a tear of warmth and feeling of support. I am a huge fan of Eckhart Tolle. I'm sure that you also know that we are not a human being that has this body but more than that. Each individual is an unconditional loving soul that experiences this circle of lives until we finally realize that we are not this body but a pure soul. So nothing to afraid of once we fully accept this. There is a quote on page 115 on a New Earth. "Life is the dancer, and you are the dance". I highly recommend the 10 weeks of the web seminar, Oprah & Eckhart did tons of Q&A about the book ‘a new earth’. You’ve already read the book so you can go deep with this. There is a podcast too, so please check it out! Anyhow, I love your videos. I can listen to you talking all day. I love your sense of humor, bright smile, honesty, and vulnerability..so many more. pointless to mention all! You are brave and wise. Keep doing what you love to do. Love you, Jenn💛

[@kaskahea1274]

I’m happy to know that many who watched felt that ! 🧡🧡🧡

[@Beeni]

I also felt really bittersweet when I was pregnant. Before our little one came along this January, we were married for five years, moved four times during those years, and spent 1.5 years traveling abroad. It was always the two of us planning our next adventure and although I was excited for the little one, knowing the two of “us” would be forever changed made me really emotional at times. But it got even better than I ever imagined!! So keep making those sweet memories with Ben like you’re doing now, and trust me it’ll only get sweeter. ❤️

[@imjennim]

This comment makes me so happy! Thanks Beeni! x

[@thien-tamdo1162]

Your smile literally lights up an entire room. 🥺

[@DearAnna_xoxo]

Awww😍

[@imjennim]

Aww this comment is so sweet! T-T

[@allisongrande1711]

I just LOVE how honest you are being throughout this pregnancy. I have never considered myself a maternal person, and the thought of having a child and ending that chapter of life/beginning a new chapter is so scary and I feel like no one talks about it!! You’re gonna be such a rockstar mom. Thank you for being so honest and open!

[@mirandaterrell]

You will eventually find what I call “parental balance”. It took me about 3 years after my son was born. Create efficient systems to give yourself time to still be *you* as an individual woman because if you don’t, you may experience burnout, as many mothers do. It’s ok to get help and pay for help. It doesn’t make you less than. It makes you smart and efficient. You won’t ever be the same as you are now but that’s the beauty of growth. Regardless of if the growth is triggered by parenthood, marriage, a new phase of life. You’ll do great!

[@vlr003]

This is lovely and comforting.

[@starrymariii]

Jenn what you're feeling totally makes sense, and change always comes with growing pains and bittersweetness. Thank you for being vulnerable, your honest perspective will make such a difference for people feeling the same way about becoming a parent for the first time!!

[@imjennim]

I totally agree with your message about change! Ty for this comment! x

[@khawla3397]

Jenn, I don't think becoming a mother will make your current version of yourself disappear. Here is why. I have seen my bigger sister becoming a mother, twice. And she kept the same personality. If anything, when I asked her about becoming a mom, she said you become skillful with changing hats! So motherhood will be like wearing an extra hat, along with CEO Jenn, wife Jenn, and Friend Jenn ❤

[@evamainguet7724]

I don't think this part of yourself is gonna disappear when you become a mother, i think there's just going to be a new version of yourself that is going to be added to your current self. I mean you are always going to be ypur true self deep within you. I undestand this fear of change and eveyone experiences it at least one time in their life. The fact that there are things that are unknown, that we can never be completly prepared for this new phase of life that is parenthood is something that i think is not talked about enough. People always share the bright and positive side of everything on social media and I love and appreciate so much the fact that you show that it is okay to sense fear and that parenthood is also associated with the grief of a whole part of your life that is now coming to an end !! thank u for sharing that. I'm sincerely convinced that you are going to be an amazing mother ! It's all about taking things one step at a time and appreciating the present moment ! Lots of love from France !

[@imjennim]

Thanks for this comment, Eva! I appreciate this reassurance. x

[@hol8642]

Jenn, you change every single day without knowing. You enter new chapters all the time without seeing it. Just because you know this one is coming, it doesn't mean it will be any less joyous or transformational. Surrender to the shifts and know that all you have is every present moment, there is no real past or future. Everything you are and ever have been will always exist in various forms, because it lead you to exactly where you are right now.

[@jennyy7205]

Currently pregnant and feeling the exact same way as you jenn! I’m scared of loosing my own sense of self, change in the relationship between my husband, fear of loosing my independence and missing out on all the things I used to enjoy doing without kids. Thank you for normalizing having feelings other than unabashed joy during the entire pregnancy journey.

[@imjennim]

Of course! Thank you for watching. It's really reassuring to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way either. x

[@tseringyangkyi9739]

“I fully surrender to the things I have no control over” and “everything is temporary including the moods and the feelings I have right now”. These are exact lines I need. Thank you Jenn

[@imjennim]

I gotchu! x

[@shmandi24]

Just found out I’m pregnant this morning, and I rewatched all your pregnancy videos. I can’t even tell you how you much you’ve helped me, because I don’t know how I feel. I’m trying to be happy, but I’m scared and overwhelmed.. and it feels so good to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t immediately know how to feel. You look beautiful and I can’t wait to see what both our futures have in store. Congratulations mama 🥰

[@imjennim]

Congratulations Sandra! It's a roller coaster of emotions for sure, but everything you're feeling is normal. It'll level out. Sending you all my love! x

[@kendellehung-ino3226]

I personally understood Jenn’s pregnancy dilemma as a sign that she loves and appreciates the person whom she’s become. and I honor the value she holds to the person she is currently. but as always wishing the best of luck throughout ur journey!

[@desiremichellexo]

I am pregnant now and I feel the same way! I struggle a lot with my “freedom” and not being who I was because now I will be someone’s mom and they will come first and that sounds selfish but that’s how I’ve always seen myself as too selfish to become a parent which scares me because now I am going to be, even though this is what I wanted, our baby was planned, I still struggle with the pressure of it all. Some days I’m confident other days I’m like uh wait no REWIND. But life moves on, we grow, I will never be the same and that’s a good thing it’s just life. That’s how I remind myself to stay sane, I am just growing into another chapter.

[@ellemcmahon9519]

I feel you but the fact that you worry about things like this, that means you'll be a great mum. Xx

[@imjennim]

Girl, I totally feel you... I have waves of these types of thoughts too. Sending you all my love! x

[@1304KaBi]

Thank you for sharing that, I'm also pregnant and reading your experience reassured me that I'm not the only one with those thoughts. It really helped me feeling better. ❤

[@bwingbwinggwiyomi]

does anyone else notice Jenn's got that beautiful, warm, glowing baby mama glow?! 🌞🤗🥰

[@jinitheuniverse]

You are a wise woman, in your deep heart you already know that you are going to be okay. You were, you are and you will be. Lots of love🧡

[@sunnyfilms_2959]

Your videos made me start journaling and it has really changed my life! Now I never go a day without writing my thoughts down and it’s helped me so much 💕 thank you for being such a positive influence and inspiration ✨

[@forex_profitandloss]

Hi

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

How could anyone not like this girl! She’s so genuine & sweet🥺❤️

[@28karennlouise]

You're one of the person i look up to. I hope i can have the same mindset as yours. You're such a hardworking person very organised. So adorable during pregnancy. I'm at the lowest point of my life but your vlogs bring me joy. Thank you ❤️

[@apricotveggie]

wishing you the best through this time in your life. im not having a great day either so your honesty made me feel comforted 💜

[@imjennim]

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I wish I could give you a hug. x

[@28karennlouise]

@@apricotveggie you too, thank you makes me feel comforted as well

[@28karennlouise]

@@imjennim awwe you noticed me and you saying kind words feels like a hug for me thank you❤️

[@orgilbayar6979]

omg Jenn I just want to give you a big hug, I totally understand everything you are feeling. And oh Cheeki was so cute running through the house.

[@katedesingano]

1. Still can't believe that you're going to be a mother soon. 2. I love the vlog pump! Vlogs are my favorites. ❤

[@aria-vy5ug]

i can’t find the words to explain how lovely your vlogs are and how they make me feel. you are so serene but vulnerable, you make life seem like a studio ghibli movie and you share so much little wisdoms. i always leave your videos feeling thoughtful, content and a little more present in and appreciative of my life. thank you jenn for sharing your experiences with us-you have no idea how much it impacts my life. ily ❤️

[@bealucilleinciong6436]

You are the most authentic person I know. I love how you genuinely share your thoughts and feelings without being scared of how other people reacts. I love everything about you. And you are one person I always look up to. Thank you for sharing your journey! Watching your video feels like I’m in a new whole world where every person is kind, empathetic, mature, vulnerable and passionate with what they’re doing.

[@Moipui15]

Are we gonna talk about how Cheeki came running out of nowhere when Jenn teared up? I mean🥺

[@4everparty]

I think social media and technology per se are neutral. How to make the most of it is up to us and the strategies we use. I've learned that more and more people are using social media to connect with like-minded people, expand their network and get more (educational, career, or whatever) opportunities. People also leverage such weak ties for personal and professional development. At the same time, I understand that it can be frustrating to watch friends and acquaintances travel around while I sit at my desk, constantly browsing through their pictures. Most of us don't know how to use social media strategically, probably because it wasn't taught in school.

[@Fuhreekz]

Great point, I wish we were told how to use it strategically. Worried for younger kids who are on it where there's an "explore page" with pictures and ideas that aren't exactly what they intentionally wanted to interact with and other posts that show up on their feed based on what their friends like. Plus it's actually addictive with the whole dopamine hits thing. Wish they'd talk about it in school and hope they do at some point.

[@michellechen171]

Seeing you grow (in every aspect of life) from clothesencounters to where you are today is so inspiring - lots of love to you, Jenn!

[@michellechen171]

Also, I would recommend the book Tribe of Mentors by Tim Ferriss :) If you love his podcast, you'll love his book too!

[@explorewithCK]

your social media boundary is something I practice too - never waste our precious energy on something that can be dangerously addictive sometimes :)

[@oxcoxa]

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I often feel that anxiety you were talking about, pregnancy can be such a rollercoaster. Something that keeps me calm is remembering to take pregnancy and eventually parenthood one day at a time. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable about your pregnancy experience 💕 I find it hard to talk about it but it makes me feel so much less alone to hear what you're going through too

[@nicoleknowles1752]

I am 24 weeks and have had the same feelings about not being the same me after my baby is born as before. I saw a quote the other day that said “Postpartum isn’t about trying to get back to who you were before. It’s about discovering who you are now.” You are not alone! 💛

[@vanessacrissy893]

you'll always be our Jenn

[@CyndyTangerineyyyy]

Setting boundaries is so important!! Sometimes we need to say "no" to others to take better care of ourselves.

[@LindsyRules]

I love that you’ve always lived in the moment Jenn, been here since UCDavis and even though Virgos like us love to plan and know a bit of everything; I know this unknown chapter you’re going through is going to be your best one yet! xoxo

[@bhargavi6112]

you describing the feeling of being 'wobbly' just hit home, it's just so accurate & i do feel wobbly a bunch too! i'm sorry to say i don't have any advice about being pregnant/a new mum (still a 22yo college student living with her parents) but reading these comments has allowed me to see that this is a feeling that everyone goes thru & i hope that makes you feel less alone in some way! love you jenn x

[@tigerlillies14]

Gosh, I teared up. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience - both the anxiety and the excitement. Sending you love. 💕

[@nurulnadiah93]

Awh jenn I completely understand. I became a first time mum last year and felt overwhelmed at times but I think you learn that you don’t necessarily “lose” any part of you, but instead discover more sides of yourself you didn’t know existed. ☺️ Life is an adventure after all. Lots of love and light to you and your growing family!

[@elizabethbrunson]

Jenn, you are the most beautiful, honest, refreshing content creator I watch. I can say with confidence I look forward to the 15-20 minutes when I get to watch a video of yours. You have a way of putting things into perspective and being able to find the true value of life. I feel lucky to have found your videos last year. Thank you for sharing yourself with others. ❤️ Beth

[@itsonlyjm]

Each time I watch your video it touches my heart, as I was watching the part you shared about your thoughts it got me in tears you’re not only a great career woman, you’re gonna be a wonderful loving mum too! Take care Jenn 🤍💛

[@jarieeee]

Hi Jenn! Just letting you know it’s totally fine to feel what you’re feeling. I felt the same way when I was pregnant too. You’ll be grateful for the things you’ve experienced and see that you’re doing and learning new experiences later on. I love that you’re acknowledging these feelings because I didn’t think anyone else felt the same

[@valerietan1691]

Thank you for always being so real and genuine, it’s what keeps us feeling connected to you :)

[@ChloeCara]

It’s such a lovely thing to feel like you’re growing up alongside Jenn. Setting boundaries is extremely hard for me so it’s really comforting to know that I’m not alone 🥺

[@irene227]

Thank you for sharing your feelings on this journey Jenn! Being anxious is a way of understanding the responsibility, but just like many things in life, you will end up getting used to being a mom and being your new self!! The best is yet to come ❤️

[@siliaben34]

Thank you Jenn for always giving me good vibes, and positive energy each time I watch your videos, you always remind me that no matter how hard life gets there's always a bright side in it, I am going through some crazy hard moments, and due to your videos I believe that those difficult moments I'm having are gonna pass and good times are coming soon. Thank you again for being a natural personal and for inspiring people like , and I'm sure your kid is gonna be very proud of the great mom you'll become ❤️

[@rachelphan37]

I am so proud of you and you don't know how much i resonate with all of your videos! You're gonna be absolutely fine, and have high confidence that you're gonna do even better than you think.

[@gierouge_1633]

Jenn is just the cutest in everything she does!!! She lives and breathes cuteness!

[@JuJu-508]

It’s all going to be well. You are going to look back at time and be thankful for all the wonderful changes. Lots of love

[@mariaisabelmatias9862]

Jenn I just want to let you know that you inspire me to put my energy in things really matters! 🤗thank you!!

[@judydoodles4440]

Thanks so much for being so open and honest about this new chapter in your life, Jenn 💕 My heart goes out to you as I'm also going through a similar emotional process. My husband and I have now reached the stage where we both agreed to start a family, and now that the time is really here to try, I'm fearing the unknown of being a parent and mourning my current 'single' lifestyle. Suddenly I'm finding myself really craving and motivated to do all the stuff I want to do for myself (career goals, fitness goals etc) because I'm worried that once I become a mother won't have the same amount of time and priorities to just focus on myself. I'm suddenly living life as though I'm running out of time and it's been a really emotional and scary phase. I take comfort when hear other parents say that it only gets better with children though. They bring another level of joy and sense of pride that can't be accomplished by other goals. I remember someone told me that when you have kids, it will truly be the next stage of self cultivation where you get to discover who you really are because you will need to learn to be even more patient, more compassionate, more kind and more wise. Because kids will test you, and in a good way because they will help make you an even better person and perhaps more at peace when you unlock the next level of inner contentment within. Anyway, take care Jenn. I believe in you (and me!). We got this 😊❤️ P.s. Regarding social media apps, I no longer have any apps on my phone that don't serve me well. When I realised they weren't useful tools that help me become my future self, I removed them to focus my energy on other priorities. The only app I really have left is KZbin because it's a platform that inspires me to create and think. Our mind is basically what we consume everyday so we need to be careful, just like what food we eat everyday affects our health.

[@oliviaarnone9897]

Thank you for being so vulnerable on camera. This is my favorite episode you've ever made. You got me crying while you're crying!

[@clee824]

Oh Jenn! I see you. As a new mama, I can completely empathize how you feel about your new change. I also grieved over my identity shift. I grieved that I couldn't do things spontaneously, savor things alone & go out without worrying about a baby's schedule. It's absolutely OK to want a break or just be on your own. I have postpartum anxiety of becoming a new mom. Please know each day is a new day. Everything is trial and error. You and Ben are perfect to be parents of your new baby. I now have a daily routine of getting a nice long hug from my hubby to recognize my anxiety & fears. You are going to be great. You are doing great! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@itsanuksha2641]

I admire how vulnerable and open you are on your channel, it is truly inspiring and being vulnerable shows that you're human. I know change can be scary, but you will be the best mom ever!

[@urockkthisworld]

thank you for opening up and being so vulnerable with us Jenn, I admire your strength and your feelings are completely understandable and valid, we love you!

[@ashleyyy3824]

I love Jenn when she is sitting down and talk to us about her life update or her current feelings. Love Jenn 💕

[@alliekat5914]

I really appreciate being able to listen to/watch someone being so honest and vulnerable about their feelings, worries, and struggles. Thanks for always bringing your whole self to your videos, Jenn

[@kaskahea1274]

Thank you Jenn for sharing your feelings . ❤️🙏🏽 Yes, I agree with the part of losing or fear of missing one part of your life! You’re gonna be an awesome Mom!!

[@blessingoladebo2984]

Your vlogs are so calming and peaceful and I can't get enough unnie! And I totally agree with you with creating boundaries with social media because I definitely experienced fomo and trying to show everything that I am doing. Luckily, now I only limit myself to go on social media 2-3 times a few for no more than 30 minutes. You look absolutely radiant and your bump is so cute! 😍

[@imjennim]

Ahh that's amazing to hear, Blessing! I'm glad you've put up these digital boundaries and prioritized your mental health first!

[@Mymakermovie77]

Oh Jenn you are just such a joy to watch🧡 your openness and honesty surprises me each time and inspires me so much. 🥰

[@kristinbaughman1224]

Your videos are so calming and relaxing to watch. I’ve been watching your videos for the past 5 years and your vlogs are something I always look forward to. 🤍

[@TukaWiebe]

I just want to give you the biggest hug right now 🥺I’m not even a parent yet but I know exactly how you’re feeling by putting myself in your shoes. I feel exactly what you’re feeling when I think about becoming a mother. Change is scary but what a relief to know that when it’s not in our control, we can just let go. Cheering you on over here and I can’t wait to watch you grow and multiply your life in richness even more, xo🥰

[@blackcat833]

I love your videos, these past few have been so honest and as a person who gets anxiety too seeing how you manage it-like putting down examples from your future journal really helps me with my own (I started one because of you!) So thank you ❤️

[@kj3735]

Oh Jenn, I wish I could hug you. I think that you are so thoughtful in everything that you do. I can't imagine that you wouldn't be during this time of your life. I think that you do a beautiful job at expressing the feelings that pregnant women can be going through. I am sure so many women feel the same way but don't really know how to pinpoint it. I'm sure that you've helped a lot of people with being as honest as you are.

[@theyehlife]

as you always tell us, don't overthink and enjoy the present! I totally understand the feeling, change can be scary, but in a way, we've been through so many changes in our lives already. this is just another one and it's going to be the best one yet. ❤️

[@rarutoaru]

You’re so strong and brave for being so vulnerable to us, Jenn, i really appreciate that. I think i can understand how you feel. It’s really easy to get drown deep in bad thoughts so don’t overthink too much! Even if any bad thing happens, you’re still gonna get through it and then everything will be okay again! I mean that’s what life is basically, full of ups and downs, and that’s what makes us human, full of mistakes and imperfections AND that’s okay! 💕

[@nicolecmoucheron]

The streusel looked soo yummy! I definitely agree with the instagram thing, I'm nosy too but then I feel unproductive and meh. Boundaries are incredibly important. Loved your eyeshadow and you're gonna be the best mom to your baby and your awesome!!!

[@leafkat7827]

Now I know why Jen wakes up in the morning with a happy smile every time, a comfy bed and comfy sheet would do that for ya☺️☀️💕

[@rainydew]

Haha, I love how ben literally is her sun and moon. They really make a good team :)

[@asthelilygrows4430]

i just want to say, jenn has always been genuine and open to us about her thoughts and i appreciate the way she shows her vulnerability through her videos. you realize that hey it's okay to be vulnerable, to be scared etc. jenn, you are amazing and i wish you all the best

[@bookishbritt]

I absolutely resonate with your feelings as you’re coming into motherhood. I felt the exact same way only I couldn’t identify it. Now I’ve realized that motherhood is truly a transition, bigger for some than others, and we should treat it as such. There is a shedding that happens and yes, we will mourn our “old” life, I know I did.. but oh man is the trade so worth it if you choose to see it that way. I hope this doesn’t sound too cliche but I think you have the right attitude. Give yourself space to feel+ grieve, but also space to get excited for all the magic coming.

[@rebecasantos2681]

Couldn't help but to smile when Jen was taking the pictures in the beginning. She looked so happy!

[@tinayap3]

This is a beautiful message jenn, being scared of a good thing shifting but also being open to change 💗 thank you for sharing with us

[@Jillnomaha]

Love you Jenn ❤️❤️ you will always be our Jenn, just even more special.

[@Jwatcher]

Oh, I really resonated on the social media thing. It has been an long-term project for me to get away from my phone. I started making the apps uninteresting by unfollowing stories and feeds, and only follow people (my closest people and a few content creators) , who doesn't post that often and nourishes my mind and inspirational bone. And then I deleted the apps from my phone, so I could actively make a choice on when to use them. And I always turn off notifications on the apps, I have on my phone. It has been a big success, but I had to make some comprises since it caused a full panic mode on my friends, who couldn't reach me for a period of time😂 I loved it😂 Ps. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your pregnancy journey. I really admire your honesty and rawness. I really wish you the best🤗

[@tatianaolaru2514]

thank you for the honesty and vulnerability, it's a beautiful journey

[@ghiblies]

Your feelings about Instagram really resonated with me. Spending just enough time to like a few posts, check memes friends have sent me has really helped reduce social media fatigue. My most used apps are probably KZbin and Twitter with the caveat that I'm big about curating my online experience, so if something makes me feel drained or unhappy I won't hesitate to remove the source from my feed, or tell myself to step away from it. I'm happy to hear that you're setting your own boundaries in this area too!!

[@tkla05]

Jenn, you’re amazing. Thank you for being honest and vulnerable. Instagram makes me feel the same way,I actually get a little sick to my stomach. I also have to create boundaries with KZbin,since it’s my form of entertainment so every other month I allow myself to watch videos Well wishes from Houston

[@xotteya]

Beautiful Jenn, thank you for your vulnerability. It takes great courage to share these thoughts. I remember feeling similarily when I was pregnant -- you are not alone, even though it feels pretty dang lonely sometimes. I promise you that everything will become clear when you hold your little one in your arms. Something shifts -- and you evolve -- when you become a parent. You don't necessarily lose a part of yourself, but you become a better version. Like a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. Feel all of your emotions -- they are so valid. You are so valid, Jenn. You are doing everything exactly as you are meant to, and it is such an honour to witness it through your creativity. Thank you. Sending you lots of love and light.

Jenn, I’m so proud of you that you’re able to express the ‘mourning’ process of the person that you are before you become a parent . It’s not something that a lot of folks can talk about. This version of you is great and the mommy version of you will also be great! Love you.

I just know you will be an amazing mother with so many incredible life lessons to give your child! As I look up to you with the incredible wisdom you give, I know you will be exceptional in motherhood! Love you!

I just adore your content. So real and authentic and I’m obsessed with your new house 😍 It’s going on my vision board for the aesthetic! I don’t know if I’ll ever have a child but if I do it’s already so comforting to hear your real experience with it. I’ve never heard anyone speak about it so honestly before and it’s so refreshing.

Sending you so much love and support as you enter this last leg of your pregnancy, Jenn!! You are such a strong, capable human being. You and Ben will be awesome parents ❤️ Also, I have to get that puzzle board 🤭🤭

I might never know exactly how you feel but I’d like to cheer you on from the bottom of my heart, Jenn! You are such a lovely person and next version of you will be lovelier than ever just as you are. You inspire me in so many ways and whenever I watch your channel I try to focus on my life and be a better person. Thank you and you’ll be fantastic!

언니! You know you have a subscriber that loves to just play your videos repeatedly every day whatever she does. I love listening to any kinds of stories regarding what you mentally and physically go through. I guess I just wanted to say I am always wishing for your happiness, joy, and love in your life ! love you sooooo sooooo much! :)

[@Samzymira]

I wish I could explain the feeling I get each time I watch your videos. It never gets old. You’ve been through so many chapters, and I’m pretty sure this new one will be amazing 🤗

[@Sammoulden]

Your videos always make my worst days better, I always smile & learn something, even if it’s the smallest thing and you remind me to be more present. Thank you Jenn 💜

Hey Jenn! Thanks for opening up about how you’re feeling. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and have been feeling exactly the way you have. My husband and I got married last September and we are both 30years old. I was completely caught off guard when I found out I was pregnant and have been feeling a whole bunch of emotions. Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful and so excited to become a mom but at the same time I just feel like I haven’t fully lived “my” life yet. But I’m a strong believer for “everything happens for a reason” and so I truly believe that everything that is happening was meant to be. Now I’m just focusing on preparing the nursery and packing my hospital bags and mentally preparing myself for what is to come! I also believe that as a mom I will become a better version of myself :) thank you for the motivational videos and always being so inspirational. P.s. the third trimester is a crazy but exciting time!!

We love you Jenn. You are allowed to struggle, to mess up, etc etc. You are at your happiest, and if it goes down you will find how you can get back on your pursuit of happiness, because you have done it before! You got this.

[@user-iw2md2gl4q]

We are all rooting for you, Jenn, and we will be here for you rain or shine!

Completely normal how you are feeling, I know I felt the same when I had my first son, found my groove again and then had my second. You have got this “we are adaptable” xx

[@caitlinlim9865]

You will be fine, Jenn. As you always have shown yourself to be. We love you! ❤️

[@raisapetraitis8322]

What I love about your videos is that you really show your vulnerability and make it ok for others to do the same. Wishing you continued health throughout your pregnancy.
