ugh... i'm still struggling | a very REAL day in my life VLOG

[@KayGee_yt]

Watching this from the park at 3pm on a Thursday. Got let go (in a laid off sort of way) for the second time this year yesterday and woke up in a state of mental breakdown. Came outside to read and work on my backbends (I can now walk slowly in one. SLOWLY) and chill. Totally feel this. Life is just a series of slumps these days

One door closes, but a better one will open!

[@ZoePritchard]

we are all supporting you!! i cant even imagine how frustrating and discouraging that must be. i bet you are smart and incredible, an amazing new opportunity will find you soon 🩷🩷🩷

The desire to just sit on the couch all day and eat and do nothing else, I deeply felt that! Trying to get myself out of this state feels even harder sometimes so I’m trying to accept that I’m in a phase of my life where I feel less inclined to be productive. A friend compared this to the actual seasons and I loved this image, fall is a season where we feel like resting and taking a break like nature does 🤎🍂

[@ZoePritchard]

this makes so much sense! i feel like I see it as "back to school/productivity" but I do feel so inclined to just take it easy ❤️ love you!

[@poppycalliope]

I'm grateful for being safe and healthy ❤ the non stop cleaning is SO real, I especially feel like I'm always washing dishes (I don't have a dishwasher) 😂 I try to see it in a positive way though. When I start getting frustrated I remind myself that I am fortunate to have food on my plate therefore washing dishes is a privilege 😅 idk maybe that's a bit weird, there's nothing wrong with feeling like some chores are boring. Can't wait to hear more on what you've been working on 😍

[@ZoePritchard]

no that is such a beautiful way to look at things! and the feeling of a clean home is so nice ❤️ to me its the dust/dirt on the floor that I hate the most 😂 I've got to find a positive spin for that haha

[@elvira820]

ohhh to give you some video ideas, i would love to see something about copywriting, what it is, how to start... etc. love the realness of the video and how you opened up about how you're feeling! 🤍

[@ZoePritchard]

thank youuu!! ❤️❤️ deff going to film this one soon

[@Corgimama311]

I’m going through the exact phase… every word you said describes me literally! And it got worse after seeing what happened to the hospital in Palestine… please send prayers to the innocent people there ❤❤🇵🇸

[@ZoePritchard]

❤️❤️❤️

[@candicesg]

Just a tip to keep those greens fresh - keep a paper towel on top which will absorb any moisture and keep your greens crisp and fresher for longer 😊🥬

[@ZoePritchard]

thank you!! ❤️

[@ZoePritchard]

woohoo thank you!!

[@carmenheinrich284]

thank you for being so vulnerable

[@ZoePritchard]

❤️❤️ thank you!

[@emilierodriguez3448]

Thank you so much for actually talking about what’s happening. I feel like most influencers I follow are not acknowledging it and doing ur business as usual.

[@sharlenescott356]

I feel the same at times, it's so hard to Relax and take a break Lay back . Stop whaling on your mind . And I really didn't think it was that hard . I totally understand

[@junebug052003]

Love you Zoe. I think that u are a sensitive soul and with that comes a lot of feelings. Its okay. Im super sensitive I tell people u can't get the good without the bad. They tell me not to cry😂 I say let me cry thats how i get it out. Keep surrounding urself with ur loved ones and working on ur projects! U are fabulous.

[@ZoePritchard]

thank you angel 👼🏼 i so agree, crying is ok and even good sometimes!! we gotta feel our feelings

[@belenlangdon]

To me it feels like I’ve been in a slump since September and I can’t seem to figure out how to get out of it. There is so much that I have to do and yet I’m not doing anything. my anxiety won’t push me to do it it would just make me not wanna do anything. It’s so nice that you share how you feel with us so we can all share our feelings and have a sense of company ❤ Edit: yes exactly if feels like a mini depression I thought no one described it the same way I did 6:35

[@ZoePritchard]

💖💖💖 sending you love!! i honestly feel the same way 🙃 we got this!

[@bookswithamymarie]

Fellow freelancer here... When I say I was nodding very aggressively with everything you said 😅This is currently happening to me. I was very slow the last two weeks, then had some opportunities come through this week (very excited), but I know it's going to be crazy soon. My stomach is already in knots with excitement and nerves. Also, the three o'clock panic is a perfect description. I feel like mine hits around 2 p.m. usually, and I get so tense and overwhelmed.

[@ZoePritchard]

sooo feel you!! good luck with the rush 🩷🩷 youre killing it!! xo

[@virtualassistantmylene]

I can totally relate 😭 Hoping for a new opportunity soon

[@bookswithamymarie]

Thank you!@@ZoePritchard

Way to work more productive

[@K-wx6ki]

one thing that was a gamechanger for me that i keep in mind is that women go through a monthly hormone cycle that men dont - that's why at least for me i feel like i am in this cycle but that's precisely what needs to happen - we go through monthly cycles and juts feel more energetic at certain times in our cycle. once i realized this i stopped feeling so guilty bc its literally our nature...corporate america was built w men's biology not women's biology in mind so we as women need to give ourselves extra grace and remember that we are expected to perform the same despite our bodies requiring a different work rhythm!

[@ZoePritchard]

omg I think about this allll the time! Sadly it is so hard to undo the conditioning I have that a productive day is an 8-hour work day 🙃

[@K-wx6ki]

@@ZoePritchard ugh ik! i wish this was taught in school bc its actually so important. we end up beating ourselves up for something we cant control, thinking its bc were lazy (at least in my case)

[@Justme_elizabeth]

Not watched your vlog yet (I will tomorrow 😊) however I keep thinking back on the vlog where you knew you were going to loose your job and your intuition told you. 5 months ago I got put on a PIP (personal improvement plan) I completely smashed it and made all the goals… they then told me this week that I was being put on another PIP for another 3 months… I definitely have the gut feeling they want me to fail or just want me to move on my intuition is telling me they want me gone so I guess it’s my turn to loose my job and start freelancing 😅. Intuition is so real. It’s such a strong gut feeling it’s insane.

[@ZoePritchard]

omg!! that is so spooky ❤️ the good thing about our intuition is i really belive it leads us to the right path! so as scary and hard as it is, I know you will land exactly where you are meant to!! xoxo

[@Stephanie-ki5oz]

I love thanksgiving also!! 🍂 I’m thankful that my exam got scheduled in early December ! I’ve been working two jobs and taking a graduate level class ( accounting 😵‍💫) and so I’m going to book a last minute solo trip to Scandinavia ! So thankful I get to celebrate all the hard work I’ve put in! And then another trip in jan! Feels crazy abundant!

[@ZoePritchard]

omg Stephanie you are killing it ❤️❤️ so happy for you woohooo!

ahh thank you 🩷🩷🩷

[@elizamartin4263]

Something that came to mind: I know you've said before that you feel colder weather for you feels like productivity season. Could it be that your body's productivity seasons are shifting (away from what seems natural for most people) and are more inclined for rest during this time of year? Remember to be kind to yourself ❤

[@ZoePritchard]

I think you might be on to something... ❤️❤️

[@GabbyPeterson17]

Throw a paper towel or two in with your spinach! I like to throw one in the middle and on top of the spinach and it will last WAY longer

[@ZoePritchard]

so smart!!

[@BCurlyfries]

For your mixed green. To make them last longer you should place a paper towel to absorb the moisture. It helps it last

[@ZoePritchard]

thank you!!

[@shaileyd4846]

I just took my first ever spin class yesterday and it was one of the hardest most painful workouts I’ve done 😩😂 it hurts to sit today lollll I respect SO MUCH the fact that you used to TEACH those spin classes😱 I basically had to sit in the saddle the whole choreography while the instructor talked the whole workout and didn’t even sounding winded 😂😭

[@ZoePritchard]

haha i just worked the front desk!! but i swear it does get better, my first class was the same

I am grateful for you and your channel! I am so happy that I have found it! Have been binge-watching everything and just purchased the folio cash envelope to get my financial #%^* in order 💪🏻 Really appreciate all that you are doing for us and sharing your life! I hope you get out of the slump soon ❤ Just know that you have so many supporters out there and so many people like me who you are helping! Love from Switzerland 🇨🇭

omg my gosh thank you!! 🩷 so excited to get your folio i hope you love it!! thanks for the kind words, you are amazing!

Zoe the spin intstructor has a nice ring to it ;)

🙈🙈🙈

[@Stephanie-ki5oz]

The « I’m trying to be good » frustrating is so real. Many of the things I needed done were randomly closed ( the id center at my school randomly closed EXCEPTIONALLY for the 2 hours I could go😂) then I joined class pass to get some free gym classes in around the city to try. The first I couldn’t make ( 10$ missed fee) then yesterday I spent 30 minutes looking for parking and missed the start time ( 13$ fee) lmao😂 I’m like I’m trying my best here !! And I’m paying for classes I’m not even taking 😂😭 I’ll stick to paying and to gyms that are walking distance now

[@ZoePritchard]

nooooo oh no!! that is so frustrating 😭😭 anywhere in montreal where you have to drive, park, and be on time is not a good formula haha ive missed so many workout classes when driving 😂 hope your luck turns arouns 🩷🩷🩷

@@ZoePritchard lol in the old port?? What was I thinking 🥲

[@jasminkln]

I've been in a slump too :/ I think it's because it's so much darker than in summer

urgh yes i think so too! like i love fall but theres an adjustment for sure 😭

Great music choice when you were doing chores 😊

yayy 🩷✨

[@shannonclarke3621]

If you put a paper towel in the salad container and then store it upside down (with the paper towel on the bottom), it lasts way longer! Helps to absorb excess moisture :) P.S. future spin instructor? ;)
