Welcome back to school! Professor Van Ness is here! Should we vote on what our next classroom session should be? Let me know. Is it Love School? Is it Business School? Is it Hair School?
Yes love school!!
Love school❤️
How to be a beacon of hope in a sad 🌎 world...so. yes, love 💘
Love School! I hope that includes self-love school as well
Ooooooo....Love School, but maybe with an emphasis on outliers?
Read your book and I can honestly say that you are one of the very few people whose life advice I would actually listen to. You say you are a hot mess, but guess what, eveybody is one way or another! We just have to acknowledge it and deal with our issues as best as we can. Happy new year JVN!
JVN has a book!? How did I miss that? Going now!
Thank you so much!!
Honestly, I loved your book hunny! Everything about you is perfection, hot mess and all! Love!
On an unrelated note... Could you please, please, do a yoga class on here?! As a yoga teacher I would love to practice with you! Xo
Great comment. I totally agree 👍😊💖
@@jvn what’s it called?
JVN talking about animal shelters and his crazy cat love gives me life
Is there any way we can get you and Katya talking about how much you both love Olympic gymnastics? I just think that would be so fun! Either way, I adore these classes! Thank you
Omg YES PLEASE
OMG the crossover I didn’t know I NEED
🙏 PLEASE
I'm finishing my Ph.D in cultural anthropology and your cheer really lifted my spirits. I'll be playing it on repeat :) Thank you for all of the incredible work you do
"I don't know why you ask me".....seriously, JVN?! Don't you doubt your abilities - these answers were the BEST!! They were the most positive, relatable, REAL answers ever. I felt like I could follow your advice and be a better person because of it.
Making friends in new cities.......totally sucks. Hell, making friends as an adult PERIOD is difficult. Like, "Hey! We're both adults struggling to make our way in the world but, do you wanna hit up the swings with me?!" Don't take those childhood friends for granted. EVER.
Also, KUDOS to the people who asked all those questions!! They were PERFECT!!
🥰🥰🥰
Cats and figure skating = my emotional happy place. Pretty much the perfect combination.
Stopping at 11:58: I now have 11 cats! And I work professionally with 🐶🐶🐶! I’ve adopted 2 to take the place of one soulmate. Either littermates or that extra one who looks scared. I kept it at 10 for a long time. Because more than 10 would be weird, right? But in Austin just before the last couple of rounds of freezing temperatures, there was a little black and white kitty eating scraps around the neighborhood. Not on my watch! Borrowed a safe trap, got out a can of tuna, now she’s part of the family, purring on a cushion while there is ice outside. We may not need them but they need us! Carry-on, JVN.
The cat question... Such an honest answer and makes me love him all the more! So sorry to the person who's kitty passed away x
For other folks dealing with fur babies passing - you are not a bad pet owner. your baby felt loved and safe. they may be with us for a short time, but we are with them the majority of their lives. you gave them a great life. your grief is valid
I think all of us phd candidates need that cheer in a short format to see it everyday! Loved it
I joined in the PHD chant as I'm really on the strugglebus with mine too. Love u JVN.
I need this chant as my alarm tone for every morning!!!
Yes! I'm going to try to get that chant as my alarm. 😄
It doesn’t matter what video JVN makes it always brings me tremendous joy & peace.
Well then you better run, not walk, to my new video I just posted 👀
You are so positive and beautiful, thank u for sharing your fabulous self to all❤️
"Is this your new cat??? It's name was Dill" ....so good!
I absolutely am in love. We NEEEED more JVN’s in this world. ❤
JVN I needed this video in my life. I just moved to a new city for my double masters and your gorgeous advice and energy have made me feel so much more grounded. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m going to be chanting P! H! D! To myself every morning 🙌🏻 (Edit: I can’t believe trans nb icon JVN has liked my comment 😭 I’ll make you proud and reach academic success queen!)
Look at you!!! Incredible.
100% agree it takes 2 years. I have also moved so many times. You also have to remember that the cool people you meet may have "enough" friends and not need to develop that aspect of their lives...their lives are full and they may not be able to add you in. It isn't you, it's busy life.
JVN is COMING for the CZcams content with that barrette and luscious curls!
JVN, thank you for the "solitude" piece. That hit me with some force.
Yes!!!
I love your curls, advice and that shirt color really bring life to the color of your eyes.
❤️❤️
Therapist here: your answers are SPOT ON. Thank you for all these authentic, beautiful answers. And YASSS, I moved 11, ELEVEN!, times in 6 years. Like yes think hard about moving. It's hard!! And 2 years to adjust: yes! P.S. So much love to you and what you add to the world.
Well this is validating!!
I moved to a new city for just 6 months (thank god) for study purposes and I'm in a really bad place, but watching your video made me feel so much better. Your energy is infectious and it's so amazing to hear someone be so positive even through and after the painful things in life. Your channel and Queer Eye has kept me above waters so much, thank you!
Hang in there, superhero. Day by day.
I'm going back in time to when I was slogging through my PhD and listening to this every day. Now I need a cheer to help me raise a Questioning tween who just got diagnosed with autism. Needless to say, the PhD hasn't gotten a lot of use while I attempt to help my baby navigate life. But tuning in for the good JVN vibes does help!
I love JVNs face when they’re listening to a question, the most precious angel you are JVN!
I love that sister act and sister act 2 features so prominently in your content. I have all the nostalgia feels with all your media references.
I've been following JVN's YT channel since the beginning and I can honestly say this is their best video, it's perfect! He's a certified CZcamsr for me now. And he IS good giving advice!! (well except about pets haha). Also, props to the camera man, sound and image (and even that background) are amazing!
Awe!! Thank you so so much!
Also been an a subscriber since before you even had videos JVN massive fan! GO JVN! GO JVN! GO JVN!
Sign me up for more JVN classes!! As a small business owner, I would love to hear how you continue to build and successfully run your business. I'm an allergy-friendly baker and some days I get discouraged about choosing this path with such an unclear future. Thank you JVN and team ❤
I agree! 💓
@Priti Singer thank you so much for your kind words! You make an excellent point about reaching out to people I've served and using their words to then serve/motivate me. Love this idea ❤
Love this idea!
Oooo, yes! I have a tiny business helping people feel better with forest therapy, and would love to hear his insights too!
You are too great, I love you, thank you for being you
How the f*** i didnt know jvn had a youtube channel???!! Well, now i have something to binge watch
I feel like I need a cheer for my career after my PhD 😅. But seriously, it's nice and affirming to focus on what I did achieve (the PhD) for once instead of on all the publications in haven't written in the years since.
"And that's how I have 5 cats" Same, sweetie. Same.
You are an incredible human JVN your advise is second to known - thank you for who you are the world - I am completely grateful for your transparency- I would love to meet you some day x

Okay, I AM EXACTLY THE SAME as JVN when he talked about adopting more cats when he’s grieving from the loss of a cat. I do the same thing, not because I want to replace my loved one but because I’m never done giving my love out, I still have an overwhelming amount of love to give, which makes grieving really really tough but being able to give my love to another kitty does help ease the pain. It does not mean that I miss my ghost kitty any less.
I am the same with my doggo's! My partner and I have always adopted dogs from shelters and when one of ours passes away, it is painfully sad, but it means there is now room in our home for another dog in need of a loving home. So yes, we go to shelters while we are grieving, but we are filling the cracks in our broken hearts with hope and newfound joy 🥰
OMG! Those curlz!
I want to say that the advice for finding happiness and a single adult is great advice, even for a married person with a family. We should not only find join with the people in our lives, but with ourselves too. I have been married my entire adult life, I have 3 children who are almost out of the house. If I only found joy in them I would still be very alone. I do find great joy in caring for them and for my husband, but I find my personal joy in Photography, and theater and being an active member of the community that I live in. These are all so important to me and to my happiness! I strongly agree that finding joy in my Fur children is very important too! I love those beautiful little beasts!!
Thanks for all you do to promote mental wellness! As a therapist, I appreciate you being so open in sharing your own mental health struggles and helping to end the stigma.🌞
I just fkn LOVE your beautiful energy! ☺️🙏♥️✨🙌💯👏
Did anyone else chanted “P H D!”? 😆🙌💯👏
Yes to big chunky hair clips! You can stay!
Loooovee your curly hair!!!
Jonathan, you are LIFE. My Father passed away two weeks ago, Queer Eye got me out of my funk. And YOU gave me my groove back. You are an Angel, and I Love You!
Sending you love. Sorry about your father. ❤️
@@jvn The fact that you actually replied to me makes me feel like I just met Beyonce. And Thank You, Really. Cannot express how much you have influenced how I look at myself, life, and even grief.
the new season of QE was the best way to celebrate the new years!! 🎆😊💜
JVN, you are a ray of sunshine. You have a unique voice and a unique perspective that is a gift to this world.
You're a beautiful person, JVN. Inside and out.
Jonathan….
I want to say that you are a very special person. I don’t know you personally or really even that much about you. But your energy and kindness and uniqueness is something that is just super unique. I just think you’re so cool dude.
God bless you man. ☀️✌️🎉💕
Yes, yes, yes!!!! Totally agree about adopting fur-babies immediately after losing a fur-baby!!!! Save as many as you can!!!.....also, love the cheerleading moves! I danced and was on drill team and do my drill team moves constantly!!! Luv u Jonathan!!!!
Ummmm... Can I get a life school WEEKLY please?! Even when you don't *quite* know, you still KNOW and dispense amazing advice that everyone of all ages can resonate with!
I am a 36 year-old from a traumatic childhood, and I approve your message(s).
(Saluting as I said that)
The teacup poodle story made me cry-laugh!

I seriously love this channel SO MUCH! Me and my kitties love watching these in the morning with a cup of coffee, great way to get into a positive mindset for the day!! Love you Jonathan!!!
Jonathan, telling people that what they see on social media is people showing the best version of themselves, is priceless advice. I wish more people knew this. Love you and your cats. Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪
You just exude warmth, even when talking about sad things. Love your content!

These videos make me so happy. Love you & all that you do ❤️
Love!
Jonathan you look just spectacular! Ugh your hair is so beautiful
Okay, I'm totally going to watch this whole video but I just had to pause because I'm like 10 seconds in and I'm already loving it. JVN, you make me smile. I know you say you're not always happy, but the vibe/energy I get from you is so cheerful and so loving and so wonderful. You are such a light, and you bring the world SO MUCH JOY!! I could really go on for hours but I need to finish this video. Okay, love you, thanks!
I totally love you, your videos, no matter the topic, you always deliver in the most heartwarmingly way. Thank you for that serotonin boost
JVN you make us feel so loved like BFF!
This was so good!!
I loved every 👏 second 👏 of this!!!!!!!
I’ve been showing everyone the cats I want to adopt but no one cares. I have so much in common with you and it makes me feel FABULOUS for the both of us. Cheers love, you’re an icon.
Cheers to us!!!!
JVN is one of my absolute faves. Keep it up you amazing human!
You always make my day! Thank you!
Finding this channel has given me so much joy in a really dark time. Thank you Jonathan
You make me happy! I’m going through a hard time and watching the new episodes of queer eye and watching your channel on CZcams really boosts me up and makes me feel inspired. In all sincerity you are a wonderful person.
The tea cup poodle thing is so relatable. We adopted 2 siamese mix kittens and when we lost one, we adopted another one that looked just like her. We didn't use the same name, we called her Phoenix, as she had risen from the ashes.
Love the new season of QE! 🙏💗🌈
Thank you for making laugh hard this morning (and learn a little, too)!
I recommend keeping a gratitude journal to the person who asked about keeping positive! If you go to bed writing five things you’re grateful for, you go to bed feeling positive of those things. You can start the morning by writing 5 more things, and you start day of with gratitude! It sounds not fun or easy, but in doing it, I’ve noticed a change.
I second a gratitude journal! Although if possible get one with a gratitude prompt a day. Studies show that your brain benefits even more when you can write 2-3 sentences about a thing you're grateful for once a day rather than repeatedly writing 5 things in list format. Supposedly the 5 things list works in the beginning but then your brain gets used to it and the neural pathway development stalls around 2 months in.
@@isawhat8712 oh cool! Thanks for mentioning it
Your videos give me such life!!!! Thank you for being you! 💖
Ugh I just adore you. Please continue to just give me pure joy:thank you for literally just speaking. Need more videos, don’t care what just need more of your amazing self so I can get through my day. The amount of people that would literally do anything just to be around you for a day. Like the energy that is you is so absolutely amazing. Thank you. It is what is missing in this world. 😚❤️
JVN, you are just joy personified ☺️
OMG this just made my morning!
I love you so so much, never fail to put a smile on my face. Please do more Life School videos. I am only 20 years old but feel like I benefit from your advice so much as a college student! Sending lots of love and good vibes to you & your fam xx
More. Just more. More JVN. I'm obsessed.
You are absolutely amazing. I read the first few pages of your book and cried. I saw small parts of myself in your stories and i felt like i wasnt alone in some things i went through. I started yesterday and im now on chapter 8. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your experiences with us. Thank you for being who you are.💜
Thank you, Jonathan, for this wonderful video! You may not have all the answers but you have a lot of wisdom. Plus, you're SO lovable!!!
The cat adoption advice was the best! Love you JVN!
This just makes my soul so dang happy!
I just LOVE your personality! SO glad you made the decision to never change for anyone. So original, so genuine. YAAAASSS 👑!!!

Love this video so much! You are an amazing teacher. Sending lots of love
Just wanted to say that I love how big your heart is for rescue animals. I saw on your Instagram that you ended up adopting one of the pups from Safe in Austin. He’s such a cutie and is so lucky to have such a warm and loving home.
YES YES YES 1000 TIMES YEEEEESSSSS ❤❤❤ Your videos bring so much joy to my soul. My Fiance and I love watching you! Side note. I am loving my new JVN hair products.
I am here for every bit of this!!!!
I still haven’t made good good friends after moving. But many things added to this. Like Covid. But good advice to say a couple years. 🤣🤣🤣💀 I’m the same way about adopting cats 🐈⬛. I just want to adopt them all. 🤣🤣
I love you so much!! These give me life and honestly get me out of some bad mental health spaces just seeing you smiling and being so positive and lovely. Keep up the amazing work and also loving the latest Queer eye series, thank you for being part of this world you amazing human! x
Sending you love
