VLOG: answering your juciest questions (omg you guys), silent hike, + going into LA

[@jaclynkrupa2469]

Hi Michel, I also experienced being told no when I asked for intimacy from my ex. At the time, it made me feel worthless to be honest and like something was wrong with me. I later found out he had cheated with multiple women during our relationship. I've cried about this a lot and I'm still healing from it. Thank you for sharing your experience and for making me feel less alone!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you for sharing your story Jaclyn! I am truly so honored to have you as a part of this community 🤍🤍

[@El.R.]

I am living for this new you! You seem so much happier . Been a silent subscriber for years and you just finally seem genuinely happy

[@karmakauffman7445]

You did a great job addressing questions and keeping it classy! 😊 It feels like you respected your boundaries and only shared what you were comfortable with. 👍 That hike looked gorgeous! Love the idea of a silent hike and then discussing what came up for each of you. ❤️

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

OMG...The end of the video!!! 😆😆😆 My husband and I are both divorced previously, and we have a shared accounts for mutual bills & savings and separate for everything else. So much better, you feel comfortable spending your money without feeling like you have to ask permission or get upset when they spend more then you're comfortable with. I lived alone a long time after college so I feel so much more comfortable having "my own money" and shared vs. all shared. Feels like a little financial security blanket. 😊 I think it's healthy to have a little independence in a relationship, not lose yourself too much in it. But as always, it's different in every relationship.

[@bakerandstars]

Post breakup, I couldn’t avoid the majority of the places we went to previously. It was very hard but every time I made a new memory in those places, those old memories faded & eventually it all felt good again. It was hard but healing in the long run; just my experience of course.

[@emgogo8925]

Loved your honesty about dressing to feel more confident! It’s so great to see you feeling more comfortable in your own skin

[@lindseytyson945]

I have been watching for many years and only within the last 6 months I’ve had a golden retriever and he loves watching your videos anytime I put you on the tv he is so engaged in watching ❤

Michel, I ordered Seed with your link about three weeks ago and I feel SO much better! It took about 10 days for me to really notice but I’ve tried so many things to get my digestion sorted out and nothing has ever worked. I haven’t had ANY issues in over a week now! Thank you for sharing them with us! And also, as I sort through sexual shame it helps me a lot to know I’m not alone. So please know there are a whole bunch of us out here processing really similar stuff. It’s not just you and you aren’t broken 💙

[@alexasemi4677]

Hi Michel, I’m just Someone from Germany following your life und adventures and wanted to say hi, and that you make my day as your videos are my favorite part of KZbin at the moment. The traveling but also your whole spirit is so refreshing to me, and just wanted to say great job keep up with it!

[@Katie-qg7xz]

Listening to your juicy answers was sweet. I absolutely love how you have embraced yourself by your new clothing choices! It's sad how we are left with baggage that has nothing to do with us. You were always beautiful and desirable. ❤️

[@tarynblecher5215]

love the video! just wanted to say that your style is so cute + don’t let anyone shame you for what you wear!! as long as you feel comfortable, that’s what is important :) ❤

[@kathya9522]

I completely understand your reluctance to go to L. A. because of the bad memories, but I’m happy you went with Jordy. I hope it helps you understand that the place did not fail you, the people did (mainly one.) Perhaps you can, over time, build new memories and not be haunted by the old bad ones.

[@Nunjabizz]

That ending was epic! Love seeing this silly side of Michel 🤩

[@fashionforwardmom8008]

Speaking of being unapologetically you… it’s okay to keep some things between you and God while supporting other Christians by encouraging them to seek godly counsel and the Word in hard matters. We all aren’t perfect and mess up. The main thing is we don’t just leave the mess there or be ridden with guilt, but wrestle these things with God and repent when needed. All decisions, big and small, matter to God. Crazy blessings flow when we heed God’s standards above what is convenient or “feels right” even if we don’t fully understand the why’s. God never lies or can disappoint us when we put our full trust in Him.

[@Bold4Christ]

Well said…you spoke this like a true woman of God❤…If you’re a woman or man of God, you don’t just go by how you feel, you go by The Word of God and stand on it, regardless of how others feel or how your flesh feels. And when asked, you give others the truth.

[@deararesya]

as it happens i'm not christian but your words touched my heart... thank you 🌻

[@carmenperkins4703]

Yes this is spot on. We can’t solely live by how we “feel” because often times our feelings can contradict God’s word. This is hard to do, but that’s why it takes time seeking Him and studying His word. Michel, I LOVE your videos! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@vbuzani79]

Totally agree… I understand she’s going through something rough that happened to her and I’ll be praying for her but feeling are so deceiving. Don’t lean on your own understanding go to God’s word , what does he say about it ? As a Christian you can’t go long without praying and seeking him.

[@anitasweet454]

I just adore you,thank you for being humble all these years you are a great example for my daughters. They are in their early twenties and are with their high school sweet hearts but recently don’t look as happy.so I applied your honesty.the last part about the farts was funny thank you for the little laugh

[@epicnessa2334]

Wow! Way to go Jordy with the neat silent hike idea! Love it! I’m going to give it a try with my partner too! ❤

[@susanjeffries5108]

When I first got glasses I was 12 and it was long overdue. I remember putting them on and going outside and being able to see clearly the leaves on the trees and the blades of grass on the ground and I just started crying. In a good way. Your experience looking at the ocean reminded me of it 😂.

[@brendasnow8255]

I agree about sharing finances. I think it adds trust and intimacy to a marriage. But, I’m older, and that’s the way married couples my age handled finances. I do think each spouse should, if it’s possible, have some money that they can spend with no arguments. If the marriage seems to be faltering, then having some money of your own is really important.

[@jennyjenjenp]

Yes, you are cute and you can be sexy too! There's nothing there to be ashamed of. I like giving myself a little confidence boost every now and again too. I have so totally enjoyed watching you over the years but have especially enjoyed this last year and a half-ish the most. I feel like you've been unapologetically YOU! You've found and are continuing to find yourself! This has been such an exciting time for you and I love that you're allowing us to experience this journey with you. I've always found your vulnerability extremely endearing. I think you're totally brave and you don't always give yourself the credit that you deserve. And Jordy, I've held off on following you all of this time but, I just wanted to give you a little shout out and say thank you for loving our friend like you do! Thank you for giving her the love that she has always deserved. I love watching you two be two cute little nerds together. Truthfully, other than the example her parents have set, I don't think this sweet soul knew the real meaning of love until you. She knew how to show it but didn't know the proper way of receiving it. As someone who has followed Michel for a long time, it's been so refreshing to see you two together and to witness how easy it is for you. You two look so incredibly comfortable and natural together. She deserves that.. I've held off on following you because you had to earn it and I'm here to say that you have. I'm going to go follow you right now on Instagram and finally listen to your music. Thank you again for loving our sweet friend!

[@karenhamann1666]

Lol! The end of the video is soooo funny! I love you two together so much! He seems perfect for you!

[@raquelberg4963]

Jordy seems like such a mellow easy going guy!

I am married for over 12 years and have a kid but kept my last name and seperate bank accounts. It's all about what makes you feel comfortable and if your partner has no issues then why not.

[@karengurske]

I know there’s a lot of research about a dependence on caffeine, but equally as much research on the benefits of low to moderate consumption, especially in a drink that’s antioxidant-rich like matcha. During my first 4 months of pregnancy I couldn’t have coffee (aversion) so I unintentionally weaned off of caffeine because the majority of my tea is caffeine free. It was an interesting experience, but now I’m happy for my daily matcha or chai tea

[@ggpink9044]

Loved today's video. Silent hike idea is great and q & a was great too. 🙏

[@susiedyck4914]

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. Never be afraid to share what God's word says. Fornication and adultry is SIN. There is no way around it, or your truth vs my truth. That doesn't mean there isn't forgiveness if we are sorry. Convictions are a blessing. God's word is there to protect us. Simple example, the amount of pain and heart ache adultry can cause (even when just 2 people involved in adultry at that moment) there is a ripple affect of people that will suffer in some way due to that act. GOD IS GOOD. Love your videos❤

[@melissiadillmuth9846]

Michel, as a Christian, never hold back from sharing the truths that are clearly written in the Word of God. Especially when encouraging others who are going through similar situations to yours. We don’t decide for ourselves what is morally right or make decisions based on how we feel, but we stand on the truths in God’s Word. Our reasons for not living together or being intimate before marriage come from what God has clearly shown us in the Bible, not from reasons that relate to our own convenience. Seek to honor him with your relationship and he will bless it beyond imagination. You are a beautiful girl.

[@debraroth2388]

Torrey Pines is probably my favorite spot in SD! We used to live right there. The views on the way down to the water…never gets old. I agree, SD/north county is a totally different vibe. I’ve lived around here my whole life & only go into LA if I have a good reason to. 😬 It’s not even that far but can feel like a whole different world.

[@melowely]

I don’t know if you guys did Annie’s canyon already, but that one can be kind of cool. (My avatar is actually from that trail.) You enter at Solana point circle & it takes you down around the San Elijo lagoon, then you can go up the hill through these slot canyons & there’s a nice view. Kind of has a mini Antelope Valley AZ vibe.

I really loved your answer about intimacy after divorce. I’m newly married and waited, and having just recently experienced sexual intimacy for the first time I’m still not sure how I would define my sexual ethic and what I will teach my children. More and more I’m believing it’s just a personal choice, and there’s not one right answer for everybody

What a fabulous idea to go on a hike together and not talk to each other until after the hike is over so you can share with each other what you were thinking about.

[@thayerwilliams905]

I did the same thing. I think my Christian upbringing was strict mostly out of my parents fears and lack of support network outside of church, so it reinforced the fears they already had. If we weren't lining up with the preaching and people's expectations, then would they be left completely alone? If we their children rejected the church would we also be rejected and judged and alone as adults? Ultimately leaning into it as hard as they pushed both their kids away from religion. I watch several Christian youtubers and I usually skip past any of the religious parts of the videos. I actually watch most of hers anyway because it feels real and genuine and palatable anyway.
