WHAT A DAY! FACING Fears & BUILDING the Roundhouse

[@topazdixon2089]

This video made me feel much better. I often feel nonfunctional. I'm a parent of a medically fragile/immune suppressed child, plus care for my 93 yr old mom. I can't tell you the last time I was in a grocery store. I have been in a Ross once and Walgreens a couple of times in the last 6 months. Because of our household makeup I rarely get to leave the house and when I do it's super overwhelming. Even riding in a car on major streets is bad. I understand the crying. I'm so proud of you for facing this on your own. You got this gurl!🥰

[@biblio_mama]

I’m so proud of you Ashley. My daughter has major issues with grocery stores and I understand how overwhelming it can be. You rock!!!!🎉

[@koningbolo4700]

So many groceries... so many....

[@maggiej253]

I thought I was the only one who felt like this 😪 my anxiety knows no limits. Well done Ashley, that was amazing xx

[@Mamasmovietime]

You went, you faced your fear and you conquered. Good job Ashley. My daughter has the same issue with grocery stores. That 7th level is putting it up there. Good job guys, it's looking awesome.🎉😂😂

[@pollyb.4648]

My grandfather complained about too many choices, in the 1960s!! His head would spin now days and I don't love it either! But I love you Tiny Shiny Gang 💕

[@damogranheart5521]

Many years ago, I stood in a grocery store and cried because I couldn't buy the food to feed my children. My husband earned $47 too much for us to get help from the county, and he refused to ask for help from our church. My parents asked if there was a problem. For years, they helped, and my husband never knew. They were helped out by their patents. "Money is like manure. It should be spread around to help young things grow."

[@KyleHatch21]

I hope you guys realize you may very well be the worlds most professional hyper adobe bag layers. I'm completely serious. This content is priceless. Builders can and should refer to your channel for decades to come. Thank you.

[@ac_in_tuc4473]

good job ashley...online shopping and pick up outside the store. check into it. I've done it in tucson several times.

[@mnmm5238]

It can be done in her town also, at both grocery stores. That's how and where I get mine every payday.

[@karenrogg6066]

I loved watching this one...especially the way it ended because it was already dark and the way you both smiled and laughed at the end, a precious moment. I just wanna say thank you for doing your videos and sharing your life. It's truly a blessing to the audience. I've lived in Arizona for 43 years now and meeting y'all and just saying hello (even for a moment) is now (but has been) on my bucket list!

[@birdpeep7430]

It is amazing how many of us have anxiety grocery shopping. Proud of you for working through it!

[@probablynot1368]

For me, the most anxiety-producing aisle is the one stacked with foil, plastic wrap, and plastic bags. A visual bombardment of bright colors, various products, a plethora of sizes…..all enhanced by the overly bright, unnatural lighting.

[@brendafickenscher7398]

Wow - glad I'm not the only one... as a young girl, I would let my mom know what I wanted and stay home on the ranch. Perfectly happy... I'm in my 60's and finally figured out- the flickering over head lights and too much sensory stimulation caused my excruciating headaches. I try to pick times to go to Safeway when there's not many people, too. It helps 😊

[@colly1952]

Ashley🎉! Takes a lot of courage to show your weeknesses to thousands of viewers. I'm really proud of you. And soon the grocery store won't be a problem at all. 🎉🎉🎉

[@BP-kg7ti]

Looks like your online mental health sessions are helping with your shopping anxiety!! Keep it up! You got this!

[@TheArtisanbard]

Woo hooo! Progress over fear! Way to go! Thanks for being vulnerable. What an understanding husband to ask how it went.❤ so many things progressing. Keep it up yall

[@rockysplace6012]

The round house is really taking shape beautifully ❤ nice,nice,nice.

[@veronicabass5333]

Wow, I thought I was the only one with the grocery store issue! Loved that you face that fear and push through. I am extremely proud that you did it and showed us as well! We realize we cab overcome fears and show others how to do it as well! Congratulations on the 7th course milestone! Awesome!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@gailasgreatdanesandmanes1042]

I have the same issue!

[@carlab9229]

I have agoraphobia and PTSD and have the same problem with any kind of shopping alone. I'm so proud of you and so thankful that my husband got to see you go through what I've been telling him about my solo trips. High Five, girl!

[@elizabethizard781]

Way to go Ashley!!! And level 7 is a wrap!!❤❤

[@janetkoball44]

Ashley, don't you know that you are a rock of strength for your family and you can do this. Maybe try to think about how you all will be so happy to move into your new home soon! The stores and such are just little bumps in the road now. Just walk in there with a purpose, strong and happy. Love you all from Central Oklahoma.

[@harrytustin5260]

As I sat here this morning watching you, and waiting for my Tuesday morning call from the greatest councler. I will be making another trip to town this week. Grocery store, pharmacy and a 6month blood work. I was feeling every bit of anxiety you felt. This week I am going to do all of this by myself. It has helped me a lot to see you grow and to know the struggle it is, and how much strength it takes to make each step. Also to know at the end of each trip that I made it and sometimes I cry because i am proud of completing the task. So proud of you every step takes us closer to regaining the confidence to make the next trip. God Bless you and your family.

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

😮 Ashley, I wasn' t sure to take it serious, till you took us with you into this... building... Oh gosh! is this a normal grocery-shop in America? It looks more like a storage building of a factory to me (never been in USA)!! People need a map and a compass 😄... and a well prepared liste ... and papermoney in the pocket to not ruin their bank-account !! Ashley, the next time you take 2 icecreams, you've earned it! And you are doing fine! 👍❤ The roundhouse-views from above are magnificent 🔍😀... so beautifully perfect formed! To the whole family: well done, be proud! 💪👌✊👍

[@TinyShinyHome]

Haha yeah that's a small Wal-Mart....

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

@@TinyShinyHome I've read recently that Wal-Mart tried to get a foot in Europe, no big succes till now.

[@robinbliss6513]

Great job! Jax is getting so big! Way to conquer your fears, Ashley!

[@andymac6679]

Good friends own that ice cream shop. Good people and good malts.

[@TinyShinyHome]

And they’re the sweetest

[@darienneflint9354]

Wow level 7 done n dusted. Gosh its hooting along now. So proud of you guys ....

[@PAINFOOL13]

Ashley 🏆

[@srice6231]

Good job, Ashley. I also get anxiety at the grocery store. I try to always go early in the morning when they are not as busy but I don't live as far from the store as you do.

[@poetmaggie1]

I kind of understand your feelings about the supermarket, I have something similar about cooking, even now when I only feed myself.

[@sherri443]

What a great day! Ashley, I have issues around grocery shop, well kinda shopping in general. I think, as others mention, shopping on line for groceries and then picking up with someone bringing them right to the truck, it’s the best. They can just load them right into the back seat. I have had anxiety/ptsd since 2020. Pick up and delivery has helped immensely. I wish you love, light & a gentle hug.🤗

[@EndOfTheWoods]

Thank God for online order, pick-up & delivery. Haven't faced the public in many months. 😏

[@garrettjsawyer]

Y'all have been an inspiration in more ways than one for people. Building cool things isn't the only way you do that! I personally have major anxiety and haven't set foot in a grocery store in years, but Ashley has inspired me to give it a go. It makes me feel better knowing there's others that have similar experiences. Thank you for sharing yours, Ashley. You're awesome!

[@brendamower1412]

Your house is going to be so awesome!!! Congratulations on one more row🎉❤

[@VenusSantaCruz]

I totally get it, Ashley. I hate going to grocery stores and shopping in general. Delivery has changed my life. 🥰🎉

[@SunflowerLover63]

Ashley, I can’t believe how courageous you are. You’re amazing! I have extreme anxiety attacks going to the grocery store and I got tired of torturing myself so I decided to have things delivered instead. I don’t even have to open the front door. I wait for them to leave and then I bring my groceries in… My goal is to finally have the courage to actually go inside of a grocery store. I know how hard it is, you are a rockstar.

[@maureensteele3325]

Good heavens, Ashley, I felt my blood pressure rising just watching you outside the grocery store....and you did it!!! Hurrah!! What a fantastic, heroic, effort!! WTG!!

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I get it about going to the grocery store too. My 1st time going after my husband died, I had my first panic attack. I was putting things in my cart by habit. Food he ate, my dad said when did I start eating cauliflower, broccoli etc. I didn't know what I ate. Freaked me out bad. Glad you got through it. ❤❤

[@DizzyIzzyMom]

Ashley I totally understand your trepidation at grocery shopping. When my father was dying and in his last months I would go to grocery and pickup anything I thought he would eat……..after his death I just broke down. That has been 16 years ago and I am finally getting over the trauma.

[@ginnicolee2502]

I went through a time where I could not do groceries. I'd sit out front for an hour or more, watching people going in and out, doing their things. Then I'd go home with nothing.. again. Debilitating anxiety. My friends would do groceries for me. I then got a job doing community based aged care, and grocery shopping with them was part of the job. It forced me to get out of my negative funk that I'm still unsure of where that funk came from.. Good for you Ashley, it's hard and you're doing great ❤

[@dawnjones7680]

Not everyone goes into grocery stores Ashley, You are brave Girl!

[@u2cancatchme]

❤ Johnathan, your an amazing husband, Dad and awesome protector of yours. Just watching the love and joy you have when you look at Ash. ❤ Your heart is wonderful and those views,😂well perfect 🤩

[@janalavtizar4426]

Guys! The walls started to cast REAL shadows, yay!

[@Mary-cb5jx]

Online shopping and easy pickup...I love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@seaflower1520]

That how I stay on budge by doing on-line shopping and picking up my groceries. It helps I do not buy a bunch of junk food on top of what we need and it helps with the pain of physical not having to walk the giant store. Enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the great work. You’re making progress and that all that counts.

[@jacquelinedrury2251]

Good on you Ashley for facing your fears. That's a huge win for you. I'm watching from Sydney in Australia and God bless you my friend.

[@ScooterMLS1960]

Your video shots of the landscape pick up so much of its beauty.

[@joannehyduckhopkins6898]

Wow, you passed up going to that cute ice cream stop in Benson! What strength! I know, it was just one more thing... and you were tired.. Congrats on the big shopping task.

[@bubblesyea1]

Great job shopping! If you shop at walmart, they have free pick up! You can have them shop for you and just pull up and they put it in your car. If I have to go in the store I put noise canceling earbuds in and listen to positive music!

[@RVBadlands2015]

I tried it got too much bad produce someone shopping for me. I do it myself now.

[@sandrachalmbacher3726]

Ashley you are an inspiration to all of us who struggle like you

[@guillermodelnoche]

When my dad took me out for milk to help my mom he stopped for a special beverage also. It’s why I love dive bars to this day. Nice work everyone!

[@christymccullough7306]

It's so satisfying watching you guys just get stuff done. So happy for y'all

[@killacrush3437]

❤ your husband's a nice guy, please be careful with therapists. They will insist you set boundaries and all sorts of ridiculous things that will make your family feel uncomfortable. They help to get the cobwebs out, but let the rest be up to you. You got this. Rock and roll. Jarid

[@ahomeinpisgahontheroad4481]

It is scary for me too as money is in my mind. And there are crowds. And I always forget something. And now the prices seem yucky but I need my foods. Congrats for knocking that out!!!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

7th Course Celebrations! Plus a milestone for Ashley - forge on girl, you are so powerful!!!! Looking forward to all the play with windows and such. Just love it all!!!!!,

[@davec9244]

Don't cry little baby, it's going to be a better day. You are strong and determined you got this. Did I see a new dew on the doodles looking good thank you ALL

Beautiful morning. Cheers

[@matthewwalker6621]

Ash your a fricking superstar!! You are amazing in every way and loved by so many people and lots you have never met but see your channel and amazing work.

[@harpomorris1909]

Awesome episode, I really appreciate how real you keep it. So many of us have anxiety issues, it’s really tough. Thank you for sharing your personal stuff, it makes me feel more connected and empathy for you! Hang in there, you’re doing it!

[@codyleeser392]

I am proud of you Ashley for making the healthy choice on the green drink. I laughed out loud when you said don't tell the kids I'm drinking out of it. And good for you on breathing thru the grocery drama.

[@LucindaSutherland-w2u]

Wow, I can't imagine a gym that would provide the amazing strength your family has. You are very productive. It is a blessing to see you benefit from the hard work each day. Thanks for sharing, even the difficulties.

[@maydanavabarnett5177]

So proud of you, Ashley! We love you and your beautiful family 🥰

Ashley is amazing. Reminds us of our Ashley. Blessings to you all. Jonathan has got mad skills

[@sandirice3055]

Way to go Ashley. Your are braver and stronger than you know! Blessings.

[@dorabort6622]

You did a great job! I sometimes get so depressed when I shop because of the prices!

[@ithacacomments4811]

My daughter is 50. She is on the autism spectrum. Grocery shopping was so overwhelming. During COVID she discovered ordering groceries online and then doing a pickup at the store! A whole new world! Now... to solve the laundromat anxiety.

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

The walls are getting tall enough you can't step over them easily!! That's progress. So exciting!

[@trishmnky29]

I don't like going to stores by myself or anywhere for that matter. I wouldn't even order my own food at restaurants until I was probably in my 20s. You just have to take it a trip at a time and it gets a little easier each time.❤

[@elainemartin7141]

Score, Ashley!

[@echoravenrider932]

I cried. I cant go to the store. Im so glad you had a good grocery trip. ❤

[@chrisinmarin415]

I love your show / channel. You make me feel happy and focused on my future oasis in the sun. I’m trying to find my little slice of desert oasis to start my next chapter. Wish I got the bundle when it was available to start learning all those incredible things. Thank you all for sharing your lives, the good, the bad, the ugly and the truth. Hey Ashley, my anxiety level goes off the charts when I try to leave my home. Inside, I’m ok. Backyard, I’m better than ok. My bedroom… alone, I’m happy and safe and relaxed. I even have trouble with family I like. You can have all the whatever treats you want and tell yourself it’s ok, it’s all in your head, this is stupid, just forget about it cause it’s not real. And then there’s paralysis, sweating, shaking, crying (I ugly cry, so even more embarrassing), talking to yourself such much people watch you looking for an ear bud thingy, bargaining with yourself, asking that higher power for strength just this 1 time, all that fun stuff. For me, I order online for pickup and then send one of my kids. Thanks for sharing the car part. I laughed, cause I totally get it. Be nice to yourself. Hug from a fan.

[@3Goddesses333]

Big-Time Kudos to YOU Ashley!🎉❤🎉 I also in the past had trouble with anxiety in stores in the city. It took some active work to overcome. Well done love, you well on your way to being an over comer too. With much love and blessings to the TSH Family 💯🙌🏼🥳💖🙏🏼💖

[@alicecowan3499]

When you sit and think / dwell on going into the store it makes it worse. Think positive and breathe deep. Been there and done that! Love ya kiddo❤❤❤

[@pamim7902]

🎉 Ashley, you rock, overwhelm is overwhelm, doesn’t matter where it is. I just wish someone was there to give you a huge hug. Once you completed it, you deserve it.

[@phillipErskine-jk1jt]

It is part of the process.

[@Murphycats]

I can relate. I sometimes have panic attacks at the grocery and just have to leave. Good for you Ashley, you got it done!!!!

[@stephaniesparks1967]

I get major anxiety at grocery stores too. My son told me to get the flare calmer ear things, and it helps SOOOOOO much. Just have to get the silicon ones so it sits comfortably in the ear. Also helps me with long car rides and around lots of people. At first you don't think it's working until you take them out to see 😂

[@RogerD40]

Sending lots of positive energies your way !!! Can’t wait for the next level 😁

[@sandragayle4806]

You need to shop like I do, I shop at 1:00 AM on a Wednesday. No one is there but restockers :) Nice and quiet, no stress.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Here there are always restockers any time of the day and night. It's so weird.

[@StoneKathryn]

It sounds like a big challenge to get the rest of course 7 done in a day. That was funny when Ashley agreed that the dogs were a "hind"rance as one of the doodles raised his butt (hind) out of her lap! The dogs just love to watch you guys working from the comfort of the shade. I'm glad you started with the short bags. That 100 foot bag sounds like a lot of work! The time lapse is great! Thanks! I liked Jonathan's dramatic tamping! I can't wait for the next course with the windows, electrical outlets, and water spigots. Great that you faced your fear of grocery shopping Ashley. Special beverage distraction! Taking down the shade sails. I'm glad you don't need them anymore. I like how you stored them! They should be free from rodents in that steel galvanized waste can. You did it Ashley! You should be so proud of yourself for getting the shopping done and not having a meltdown! Cute when you rewarded yourself with the green juice. I won't tell you drank out of it! it's not totally dark when you got home. Jonathan seemed happy that you got home. High five! Thanks for this video Longnecker family!

[@donnapauley8183]

I’m so sorry for your anxiety. I get it too! I am close enough that I have them deliver groceries and I love it!

[@danisebritz3125]

I'm proud of you Ashley❤

[@PatriciaBoyum]

I am so proud of you Ashley!!! It took me a year of theropy to be able to enter my place of employment after a run in with a manager set of underlying PTSD I was unaware I had. So glad that you are working on yourself and improving your health it takes a lot to admit you have a problem and even more to be able to take on the challenge of fixing it. So many ignore it till it irrupts like I did. Bet you dont realize how much you are helping your viewer's without even knowing it. Hate to see the sails come down it means bad weather coming. I live about the same distance from the equator as you guys do so i usually can see what you have and prepare before it gets here. I live in your old stomping ground in Tennessee. Keep up the good work. I see the vision if what your family is.creating and can't wait to see the final results. I watch 3 families on a regular basis and you my friend are one. I see alot of me in you and realized that if you can make it then so can I.

[@maxinedawes1834]

I love you all have a wonderful day God bless

[@SeshbyStephSymbolicJewelery]

Good job guys!❤😊

[@PriscillaWilliams-p2c]

Great job at the store, overcoming my fears has been my motto this year!

"favorite green juice" You just reminded me that I need to get some of the vanilla chai. I absolutely love that flavor. So light and refreshing. And yes, I too drink it straight from the bottle 😊

[@gailasgreatdanesandmanes1042]

Oh I feel you sister! Anxiety is real!

[@bettyfuller4614]

Hey beautiful Ashley. I dealt with anxiety being around people (grocery shopping, malls, etc.) I started by wearing ear pods and listening to either books on tape, podcasts, music. Today I enjoy grocery shopping. It's my time. ❤

[@TEPO--]

Much love ! Keppin' it real and I can relate - beautiful. Ode to progress, course 7 and life itself🤍

[@carolaustin123]

Well done Ashley I'm exactly the same if I have to go to a big store I hate it. But you girl you smashed it 🎉🎉🎉😢

[@goertz8939]

I didn’t realize how common a problem anxiety at the grocery store was for people. I have had my own issues with shopping. During covid time I had both my knees replaced by artificial joints. This made shopping both before my surgeries and after during my recovery difficult. I’m younger than most people who have knee replacement surgeries so although I don’t look old and frail my body during this time was recovering and that took some time. Even before my surgeries I had significant problems with mobility. Going into places with lots of people was anxiety inducing. I was not imagining when I had people or pranking me in the store a couple of times and and many times just showing annoyance at my presence because I couldn’t get out of their way fast enough. It was refreshing to see that some personal at the stores would be very helpful when they recognized I had mobility issues. If it where not for them I may have started avoiding shopping outside the house permanently. I’m stronger now and can manage getting around large stores without the fear of not being able to complete the shop or getting harassed by impatient self absorbed people.

[@irenebrown8363]

❤❤❤well done Ashley going into groceries store❤❤❤

[@heather1387]

A proud moment Ashley! Congratulations!

[@christyseakiki8574]

Congrats! I’m sure you’ve thought of this but maybe it’s not available - call in your order and the store will pack it for curbside pickup? Steady as she goes ❤

[@circlewindranch]

Grocery stores have doggy treats too, just think of those while you’re there. You got this!!

[@lydialebiecki]

Congratulations on personal progress Ashley and 7th course family..

[@Homesteader2024]

Great job Ashley. In 2018 myson was killed in a car accident. I couldn't drive let alone go to the store. But with therapy I set little goals. So I drove. Then I drove myself to the store. Alot of crying and anxiety but I did it. It took me almost 4 years to get to that point. But I improve everyday. Sending lots of love your way❤

[@paulas_lens]

If and when, ALDI gets to SE Arizona, give them a try for a less anxiety-provoking grocery store. I totally get you with the overload and anxiety of huge grocery stores, especially when crowded with people.

[@jo-ellenbass2261]

Congratulations, Ashley! Grocery stores aren't my favorite, either, especially the part about getting to the checkout. Woo-hoo for level seven! Love those cute puppy supervisors, even if they do get underfoot!

[@samoatodd8730]

My Favorite Episode with Ashely !! It was great to see I’m not alone in going to the grocery. You made me laugh…I’ll think about you when I go….maybe in a few more minutes 😊

[@josephadams5993]

Looking amazing.

[@camilleszalma4556]

Wow, Ashleigh, I hope you got a pat on the back from Jonathan and your children and will get one from your Dad the next time you see him. You are obviously very proud of yourself (and deservedly so), and I'm sure your whole family is proud of you too. Hey, I'm proud of you myself! I don't know why you didn't get the ice cream you'd promised yourself. (Next time maybe skip the sugary drink? Just a thought. Ice cream is the best!) You know, your children may not always do everything exactly the way you hoped they would, but you've got to know what an awesome job you've been doing with them. LOOK at them. Who wouldn't want kids like yours?!!!! Oh, and I just have to say that yes, dogs are in the way consistently--for everybody--until they aren't. I think having pets is pretty much always worth it in the long run. (-;
