Facing my fears alone at 32 years old.

- I've been living in New York City for over 7 years now, and I reached a point where I don't push myself out of my comfort zone enough. It's time for some personal growth. In this video I book a last minute trip to spend a night in the woods and face some of my fears/convincing myself to do it for the plot lol. However, this is very much a 'glamping' situation. Yes, I'm technically in the woods but I am in no ways "roughing it" 😂 Let me know if you like these kinds of videos getting out the city to explore more of the state. New York has so much more to offer than just NYC. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy! 💘

Hi everyone! This was a fun one to make. Hope you’re having a great weekend 💖💖💖
Hi Chelsea!
My name is Daniel. I’m 32 and I live on Long Island. I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year. I really admire your dedication to making these videos and achieving your life goals. I would really like to meet you sometime for coffee. I’m very familiar with Queens. Keep up the good work and hope to hear from you soon. 🙂👍
I only heard your first sentence and now I am nervous to watch! Lol! 🫣
@@DannyM-xe5wcyou better be tall LOL
@@JenesaKline I sure am without a doubt. lol
Love the video! Some day trips would be great to see through you! I am more interested in renting a cabin out in the toolies than I was before watching this. I would say that two nights would let you explore the area. Have a great week!
“My capacity to love is alive” 😭 pouring it into myself living alone has truly been the most healing, safe place for me. making space for love in the future by focusing on my little corner of the world. love it 💕
not me crying when she said that. what a lovely human with so much vulnerability and transparency.
"Trips like this make me excited that I'm stuck with me for the rest of my life." Love this, Chelsea. I'm also a 30-something living alone and can definitely relate. It's an empowering thing to feel content in your own company.
I am in my 30s and just quit my day job and moved back in with family in order to regroup and pick a new career path. Your videos have been so comforting, they help me feel less alone in my current existential crisis! Thank you!
you got this! happy new beginning ❤
@@ChelseaCallahan Thank you! ☺
I'm in my 30s as well and yes it feels scary but I'm here doing the exact same thing. Don't feel alone! ❤
The toilet sounding like a blood-curdling scream was just perfect. This was such a cozy vlog 🫶
you will never truly understand how much these videos save me one certain days. your little takeaways in videos where you discuss this deeper meaning to it all, always are exactly what i need to hear in my moment of distress. thank you thank you thank you for changing my lil life with your lil life - that's magic right there
ahhh this means a lot to me. thank you ❤
Well said ! I couldn't agree more !
Words cannot express how much joy it brings to my weekend to see you posted!!! 😭
Love you
In the woods, alone, that's where it's at. Mornings with coffee, the woods and yourself. For real, it's my favorite thing. You should defiantly do more of this. Not for us, but for you. It awakens something you didn't know was there.
hi! A silent viewer from Poland here :) I clicked the like button straight after the intro and the captions that nothing crazy actually happens, it made me laugh and I thought how creative you are. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you do and that you decided to share your life with strangers from the interwebs :) You need to know that viewers do actually see how much effort you put into your videos. Anyway, I'm just starting my work week and I'm already smiling thanks to you, Chelsea :) have a good one!
The day trip was fun. For future if you want to start a fire, you can find drier kindling (twinge,branches, leaves) nearer drier spots under big trees. Then with your fire starter start it in that little kindling and then start to add the shavings or loose pieces from the dry wood. Then put it under the big logs once you have it started. Just some advice totally don’t have to use it. So proud of you for pushing out of your comfort zone!
So sorry about your tooth! I had an extraction in September of 2022 - they had to add bone powder into the cavity where the implant was going to go so that good bone would grow around it. It was supposed to take 3 months and mine took 6! I did take extra calcium and D3 to help the process. Got the implant and then that took some time to heal up and the bone to grow around it. Then the prep, etc etc. All in all my process was 14 months; I do feel confident that I got the best service I could have gotten, rather than hurry up and get it done. It is no fun to have an implant fail, from what others have told me. I was able to utilize CareCredit, which was very helpful to help pay the costs not covered by my insurance, as the charges are made as each process is completed.
“I love this aloneness. I love being my own best friend. I know my capacity to love is alive. So why not pour that into me for now.”
This sums up the last year and a half of my life living in NYC. I had to learn how to truly love my aloneness because i moved alone and no one tells you how hard it is. It’s still a work in progress, but i’ve learned so much about myself and how i show up for others but also for me. I spent a couple days last summer in a tiny house. There’s something about the silence that is magical. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
Love this tiny house, the light in there is everything! Even the screaming toilet is tolerable 😂 I’ve become obsessed with tiny homes & find myself watching tiny house nation, tiny house hunters & others quite a bit. At the end of the day we really don’t need much. Somewhere to sleep, to prepare, to shower/do our business and shelter from the weather. I am a city person, who dreams of someday having a piece of land where I can put a tiny house and also get Amazon deliveries and have Internet access. I don’t think I would need much more. Thanks for another great video Chelsea!
i have always wanted to spend some time living in a tiny home - the whole idea of thoughtful space designing and super creative multi-functional things in a small space makes my brain light up like a christmas tree lol
I don't think these are boring at all. I LOVE the inner monologue videos. You're so insightful and relatable. A lot of it really resonates with me.
Never change, you’re the best!! So enjoy your videos, the way you feel is how most of us feel, but afraid to say out loud, nor have a channel😉
it is not us who is making all this possible, it is your continuous effort to create content! :)
So enjoyed this video! It’s great to get out of your comfort zone from time to time and this Airbnb-in-the-woods adventure was cool. Bummer about the firewood being too damp for the fire pit but you seemed really content there. Here’s to more little (or big) adventures in the future. Have a great week! 😊
This entire video is amazing but the drive home + drone shot at 18:44 legit gave me the biggest smile. There’s nothing like getting away for a bit or the rush you get after doing something you were nervous about. Glad you had a great time!
YES I love this!! Yes, you (all of us) have more love to give than we think! The fact you love being your own best friend is HUGE! Your trip out of the city is sooooo inspiring to so many of us including me, very empowering to women of all ages. I'd love to see more videos of you getting out of the city (I'm a hiking & camping girl), or really any kind of adventure you get up to. Facing fears and "just doing it" definitely resonates with me as I'm in a similar situation, except in a new job/career - turning over a new leaf and just being myself. Thank you for the inspiration!💙
Build a standing triangle with small pieces of wood, put twigs and pine needles, pine cones, paper inside the base of the triangle. Bark is also a good fire starter.
Once the triangle catches fire gradually add bigger pieces of wood.
But the wood was wet.
Lighter fluid will get it to catch, and the lighter stuff will help warm up and dry the bigger logs. They'll then catch and steam themselves.
Chelsea you are not the only one who likes taking solo adventures. I have visited NYC four times, and two of those trips have been solo trips. My upcoming trip to NYC in May is a solo trip. Please keep up the great work with your CZcams channel!
13:03 I don’t find your videos boring at all. I like that you’re not schilling products CONSTANTLY…..link this, link that…and you’re not portraying some unrealistic, unattainable, fake life. I love it. Your videos are probably the most real out there. Thank you for that!!
Is that a real thing "schilling" products? Just curious.
Just want to say how helpful your videos are! I too am a 31 y.o. anxious, single girlie living alone (with her cat - who also reveals to me my capacity to love)! Anyway, here to say your videos are relatable, comforting, and inspiring. :)) Thank you for sharing all that you do with us.
Slightly older than you but live alone with my cat too and feel the same ❤
That was a lot of fun-- take us on day trips! At first I thought you were going to stay in a tent in the woods, lol. That place was really cute. I love to watch tiny house and van life videos, and I wouldn't mind short-term stays, but I do like having a house with several rooms and space. What a great idea to give yourself challenges and some quiet time as well.
FYI-- you can make any tea decaf by steeping the tea bag in a little bit of hot water for like 45 seconds and then dumping that out and make your tea with new water. The caffeine is released right away in the steeping process so you can get rid of most of the caffeine this way.
I did not know that! Thank you!
You have inspired me watching your mini vacation ❤
There's a CZcamsr I used to follow who would go "glamping" all over the continental US but she would do these trips up to 3x a month, no joke (She got A LOT of financial help after her divorce). I had to stop watching that kind of indulgence.
Bottom line, I feel refreshed and excited to find my own first glamping experience thanks to you
As someone who is in exposure therapy this was amazing to watch. Youre just a gem. I feel so connected to this whole thing, tooth included lol. Thanks for your vulnerability
I belly laughed multiple times during this video. Thanks for the chuckle, Chelsea! Hope your trip was restorative.
I just love this video, its so nice to see you getting out of your comfort zone and doing scary stuff. As someone who lives alone I love spend time with myself and seeing that I'm not the only one it's really nice.
ha! what fun! i just on friday drove one and a half hours to the pacific ocean for an hour long walk on the beach and snacks in the car before driving home. I saw rainbows and a fella in a packer cap to remind me of home. It was very energizing and i was way more excited to be home again, rather than staying in and talking myself out of going away for the day. I loved your experience to remind us all to try new things, even if it's not a long amount of time. :)
I can so relate to you about enjoying your time alone. You are fortunate to know this at your age. It took me a long time to realize it is okay to be alone. Love your video.
Super cool, Chelsea! More day trips would be awesome. One of my few regrets living in NYC was that I didn’t take many upstate trips out of the city. I’m not a big nature person, but this looked vv dope. 👍🏾 Also: You’re 5’9”? I wouldn’t have guessed that!
I am so impressed that you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. I would have been so scared on my own in the woods. I am a what if type of person, but I do want to push myself to do more this year. It is so hard when you are on your own with no family though.
There is nothing boring about your content. I appreciate that it is calm and thoughtful. And while you do have sponsors, I don’t feel like I’m marketed to. Thank you for posting. 😊
I live in a tiny house full time in Montana. I absolutely love it. Your expenses are minimal and you can buy the expensive things because you don't need a lot of them. Enjoyed your video.🎉
I feel the exact same anxiety when driving!! I never used to, which is the mind boggling part. I don't know when or why it started happening, maybe all the drives to the hospital for my Dad, but I really, really want to move past it and this video was encouraging. I'm already thinking of where I can go ☺
2024 really is a year of facing fears! Im currently going through a long term break up (11 years) , and moving out on my own in the city for the first time - as a 31 year old. Im terrified but just so looking forward to my future. Also.. i feel ya on the driving lol Thank you for your videos! I feel less alone knowing theres other like me going through similar situations! Heres to all of you changing your lives for the better!
Love this!! I always feel really refreshed after solo day trips and find them a lot more accessible than long holidays. Hope you had a great time and the dentist went well. Cabin in the woods looked SO COOL.
I love being alone like this. I love solo trips and spending time at home, making coffee/tea, reading, watching CZcams or TV shows. I'm 30 now, and recently I had been blaming myself for choosing this kind of lifestyle, but at the moment I'm fully accepting it and do not regret anymore. Love you, Chelsea, good luck and be happy with yourself!
I loved this video!!! I was so excited to watch this adventure and come along with you!!! Love this style! Love watching you try new things and grow. ❤
Loved this video so much!! I've been struggling with the feeling of being stuck in life and this really inspired me
This is the type of video that YT needs. If Chelsea can be this vulnerable on the internet for literally the world so can you irl nothing is never as big of a deal as we make it out to be and no one cares as much as you think they do
I love it so much that you managed to get out of your comfort zone for this adventure!! Great start of the year 😊
So happy to see another video! It looks like a lot of fun!
ugh i love your commentary, especially when you were talking about being content in solitude. it’s so real and i think learning to love your own company is one of the best things to learn in this life x
Yay new vlog! Your vlogs are always so fun and cute, but this one was totally one of my favorites. The music, starting the fire, and that toilet sounded so scary 😂 looked like you had a great time! Thanks for taking us with 😊
I love this! When we feel trapped, we isolate. I love your that you're pushing past that & experiencing cool and new things. 😁💃💯
This video was truly eye-opening and super inspiring!! Absolutely loved it!!! Thank you soooooo much!!❤
YESSS Chelsea!!! I've missed you girl!!! I'm only 4 minutes into this video, but I'm so excited to see how the rest of this video goes! Kudos to you for facing your fears, stepping out of your comfort zone and venturing out on your own to spend a night alone in the woods.
I really love your videos! So happy that I found your channel.
Great video! Your videos are so calming to me - I love watching them! ❤
Yet another great video! Your videos are so laid back and yet eye opening!
Thanks for taking us along with you, Chelsea!
What a wholesome video. Good for you that you did that trip 🤩 and thanks for sharing!
i absolutely adore that you got out of town, had some solitude in nature and chose to take the time to remember Phoebe and reflect on your time with her, and your honest realization about your capacity to love. it totally choked me up and i totally get that statement and felt it in my heart.
I have enjoyed watching you learn what you are capable of doing while enjoying your own company. Keep these blogs coming! ❤❤
Hey Chelsea - a lot of what you said resonates so much and I found myself nodding along. It's really nice to see a real version of you that's genuine and curious. Your content isn't boring it's real and you touch on topics that are also very real but we don't always have the safe space to share. Kudos for pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone! I am trying to do the same this year and videos like this encourage me even more.
I loved this! So happy you got out of New York City and experienced something new! You looked so happy and alive! 😀
I always enjoy your videos. So cool that you take yourself out of your comfort zone and do something you don't usually do. Brave and fun.
So lovely to see you enjoying yourself so much Chelsea. Having fun!
I loved this content! this was a great vid! getting out of your comfort zone, and seeing more of your surroundings.......as a viewer... was awesome! especially someone from the other side of the world!!
Finally ❤❤I was waiting for a new vlog 😊thank you ! You got this !
Finished all your vlogmas videos last weekend, so I've been looking forward to a new video all week! A good one, as always. Have a great Sunday!
Yes to more day trip videos!
Short Kings hearts are breaking worldwide 😂 i needed to hear this perspective and it makes me feel like i am not soooo crazy after all. I hope that others seeing this also feel connection as i have. It has been a rough couple years for all us humans and losing loved ones (rip to NYCs most loved bunny), and going through a divorce in your 30s is soul crushing most days. But, it is so heartwarming to see sould like our Queen Chelsea waking up, showing up, and greeting life in all its pain, laughter, joy, and anger with grace and kindness. Thanks for being you and thanks to the kind community here that i have leaned on recently. Hope all are well and love y'all. Keep getting up!! ❤
I loved everything about this video. How refreshing to get away from everything and surround yourself with nature. The little house was perfect; you had everything you needed in one spot! Your videos are a source of comfort for me.
Absolutely loved this! Definitely think you should do more trips like this ❤❤
Loved this video. Love all your content. You are a breath of fresh air xxx
Good for you for getting away and out of your comfort zone. Your background music choices were perfect!
Seeing you again and having a new experience….that was very nice. Thanks for sharing. Be safe girl.
Happy to see you made it through the night! Would love to see more of these.
Yes! More day trips please! Especially if you really enjoy it. It comes across and makes the video that much more enjoyable 🥰
I hope you enjoyed the getaway! It looked really peaceful! I’m glad that you decided to share this piece of your life, and it’s really reassuring to see how ‘normal’ life can be. No glorifying or skipping the hardships for the views. We are only humans and you capture it in such a sensitive way! It feels like watching my older sister, talking about her everyday. Thanks for being the online sister 😊
Your apartment series is also very real and I can so relate to the struggles that fall behind all that you show us. I’m about to move out to my apartment and watching you go through the ups and downs made me realize that it’s totally fine to have them, too.
Wishing you a great week!
I really enjoyed this video! You are so courageous, facing your fears! 💪🏻And I love that tiny house in the middle of nowhere, we all need getting closer to nature ❤
late to the party but fyi before i dive into a new vlog that ive been awaiting for, i just want to say i super envy u chelsea, for how brave u are. for going into the woods alone, to simply walking your city alone, and i need to take a sip of that courage. so literally thank u for these vlogs 🤩
Looks like such a fun, quaint and cozy getaway! Now making me want to get out of the city myself to get some nice quiet self-care time out in nature! Loved this video!
So proud of you, that you still did it all and the driving! I know the feeling, but it's so empowering when you push yourself sometimes.
I loved watching this Chelsea. You inspire me to challenge my fears
I just watched the video I loved it what a fun little trip to the woods love the nature there and the cute cozy little home but tbh I would have been terrified on my own you are so brave. You are so funny I laughed but not a mean laugh an admiring laugh. Great video once again. Thanks ! 🤩
Hi Chelsea! Good on you for facing your fears! Now you are braver and stronger than you were just days before your adventure. You must feel so proud of yourself. Both the location and tiny home are beautiful, I can only imagine how amazing it must be in the summer when it’s lush and green. Perhaps there is another trip in your future 😀. All the best to you for an incredible Sunday 🌸
I love seeing you in this environment! Casual hoodie, backwards hat, out in the woods. So cool
Good for you doing things that make you nervous! I always feel like it's such a great feeling to think back and know I did it! Really enjoyed this one. Felt like a little getaway myself while I folded laundry :)
Good on you for stepping out of your comfort zone! 👏🏽🙌🏽 I enjoyed this type of video
This is so amazing! As someone who also loves their little, cozy NYC apartment and loves staying in the city, this was a great reminder to take new adventures!!!
Thank you!
Such a cool adventure, hope it inspired you to take other trips alone! Travelling alone is one of my favourite ways to show love to myself, it makes me feel so proud and strong. The cabin you rented looks straight out of a movie, such a wonderful place, and so good that you had time to rest, read, reflect while surrounded by nature 💚
I love this. This year is also my year of doing things that scare me! Your videos have gotten calmer, but as someone going through a very similar transition, I resonate with the calm energy that you're exuding now. Your point about not waiting until everything is perfect is so spot on. I got a bunch of "the things": a wonderful husband, great house, my dream job and thought that was what it was about. But then the "checklist checking" stopped there. We faced infertility and may never be able to have bio children and my job was so stressful I had a cloud of anxiety following me always until I finally just decided to all out leave. I think you have your best growth when you accept that life isn't a checklist and that the joy is in the journey. I am so happy now even though I don't have and never will have "all the things" because that's not actually what it's about.
PS. If you ever need dry wood again and you're upstate, pretty much every Stewart's shop will have kiln dried wood. It's not the cheapest, but it'll light right up!
thank you for continuing to share your journey!! your videos always remind me that today's troubles are tomorrow's triumphs and we are capable of so much. see ya in the next one 🩵
This looks so cozy and good job facing your fears! Would love to see more day trips or even just lesser known areas of NYC.
Good for you, Chelsea- doing something new and enjoying yourself 👍🏾☺️
Congrats on driving in that city! I use to have a job where I’d travel to various cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Pittsburg, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and I was 23 and had a company credit card for car rentals. So stressful at first but then I’d feel so much independence and accomplishment navigating (by MAP! No navigation yet in cars!). So good on you!
I’m relieved you had a safe night and NOT in a tent all alone!
All your videos are enjoyable to me so whatever you offer I will watch!
All the best with your journey to getting an implant!
Loved your daytrip. I would love to see more of them. 🎉
That was brilliant I could feel your freedom x
I love your videos, you're so relatable
Yes! Definitely want to see more videos like this!
Chelsea, the way you articulate your thoughts and emotions have resonated many times. It's amazing how people from complete different backgrounds can have similar perspectives. I'm grateful I stumbled upon your channel :)
honestly I needed that video. Your content keeps me so much company🌸❤️🩹
❤❤❤
Coming out of the shadows after months of watching your videos to share how proud I am of you. You inspire me to do the hard and scary things. Thank you.
I Deeply enjoy the slower paced content!! and the more busy, action-packed videos, as well :)
Awe man, that looked really nice and peaceful. This is something I have always wanted to do and you know what gurl Im gonna do it! Thanks for sharing!
I love this day trip!!! I’d love to see you travel more even just in NYC and the immediate area!!! Excellent job staying calm while driving, it’s no joke out there 😅 …keep up the good work lil Chels!!!!
I LOVE that tiny house! I'm already planning to do a similar trip for myself soon! Up north here in California is amazing this time of year 🎉😊
I love watching your videos on shuffle on my day off while doing laundry 🧺
