For my current lifestyle, it’s to only own things I love and need + have everything I own fit in my car (minus my couch and mattress) so I can move easily. - Zábava
It's definitely possible to be introverted and not shy! I am a very opinionated/self expressive introvert and while most people don't call me "shy" these days, in the past many people did try to tag me as being shy. When in reality I am just a naturally quiet person who will speak her mind when she has something of worth to say to you haha Lovely video as always! ❤️❤️🙏
same, I am also very outspoken when necessary but prefer to keep to myself and am generally very private. I also have that thing where people don't believe I am shy :D
What a treat, to listen to you for 25 min straight. 💚
I’m 59 and you’re 24 you could be my daughter, we both have short hair and use glasses 👓. 😅 i enjoy your ideas, very relatable. Started back into yoga 🧘♀️ and enjoying it more this time around. Keep your vids coming and looking forward to your segment on spiritual 📚. Namaste 🙏
Wow you look so young.
Your plants seem very happy in your living space :)
I work in healthcare too and I think of the wastefulness everyday. I understand the necessity due to contamination and whatnot, but it still gets to me.
Same, and it's so ingrained in the health care system it'll take so much to ever change it :(
I am an RN and just found out that our hospital will recycle most non contaminated recyclables (sterile water containers, the plastic that kits come in etc.). It took a little digging and encouragement but I'm happy to know that less stuff is going into the landfill. I don't think our hospital advertises this because it is not profitable for them to recycle. @@JanellKristina
I'm a nurse from the 70s. We autoclaved a lot of our own instruments while I was in school. By the time I graduated, that seemed to have passed and disposable everything was in. We never did reuse needles like they did in the very old days. Just like sterile bandage kits, suture removal trays etc. It's too bad, like in ERs they don't do what they still do in ORs I think. (I've been out for a while. I did get a shot once from a reused autoclaved (no longer sharp) needle with like a Barb on the end. Hurt like hell! Never go back to that clearly! It just didn't all used to be disposable. We would have a large vial of Demerol and use the entire thing. (Rather than one dose ampules which we eventually had as well. Minimalism in medicine is a good topic!)
Yeah, it's a really good conversation! I know there are people working hard in the UK to reduce waste in the NHS. I think that's being driven by a lack of funds as much as other things but it's a net gain at least.
The morbid sene of humor made me like you even more.
hahahaa cool
your honesty is refreshing
I admire nurses so much! The shifts and the work you do...
I am a teacher and the wastefulness annoys me in that job area too. So much paper is used all the time and honestly children are just wasteful in general.
Your voice is so soothing I could listen to you talk all day
Yes! I need her on a podcast asap.
Hey! :) One way my mother (an RN) has thought to reduce waste at work is to make sure that the patient knows that all of the disposable plastic items, buckets, bandage wraps, and tapes are PAID FOR items which belong to them and which will be thrown away if they don't choose to take them home. She said that some people take what they think they will need, and some people just take everything they can because they feel like they should, since it's paid for. That also seems like a good thing for the patient to know, and many people definitely aren't aware that they can take many of those things home.
I am very distant with my parents, and sometimes I feel bad. However, I do think about all the times they have been toxic. My parents always insult me by calling me dumb and other similar things. They judge me bc of my significant partner not being "handsome enough" which makes me sad that they think that bc my partner and I have a really wonderful relationship. They only treat me as an adult when it comes to financial stuff (them wanting to use my money) but when it comes to having freedom (like going out) i'm just a child and not old enough. (I'm almost 22). i can go on and on.
Research narcissism/NPD. Parents should be loving and not use you. I'm sorry. Get away & good luck.
Hey..Nobody should treat you like that stand up for how you want to be treated. Creat boundaries. Also tell them not to say negative things about your partner.
You're doing a good thing by protecting yourself and your partner through distance. I'm not connected with my parents either... I am very sorry. It hurts :\
Anthropology! I studied that in college and it changed my life. I would encourage everyone to take at least one anthropology course.
Loved this! The question about relationship building after being raised in a toxic home hits right in the heart. I didn't realize I was toxic myself until I realized the my relationships couldn't reach a healthy state due to my habits and lineancy. Oh and we got married bc of tax benefits lol Great video 🤗
You have such a good vibe! I love your videos 💕
sustainable clothing = thrifting
YESSSS
It is totally possible, almost anywhere you could possibly live. 100% of my clothing and shoes and bags are second hand, and have been for about 4 years, and I still maintain a very current, professional wardrobe. Second-hand is the answer, people!!
acm definitely!! After starting to thrift a couple years ago, my mind can’t seem to comprehend why anyone would want to spend hundreds of dollars on purses, shoes and clothes when you can get the same thing at the thrift store! A tip to remember for me is that A lot of the time I get complements on what I’m wearing and never has anyone knew it came from the thrift store!! Haha
I struggle to get leggings at thrift stores, but I have had some good ones from ebay - and some not so good. From the same shop too. We have some charity shops here that often sell things for £1. We also have a decline in high Street shops and a rise in charity shops which is often a sign of a less well off area, but I think the idea that they are a bad thing really shows how we expect to be able to buy new when we don't need to.
I would love to but no second hand shops where I am are wheelchair accessible and certainly not with accessible changing rooms and never found clothes there that I actually like that fit me. But I haven't bought any in a long time anyway.
@@sorchaoreilly2633 yeah that's a big issue, not just in charity shops either no doubt.
Yeah let's both do a headstand this year!
I'm trying!
Janell, a few months ago I watched a minimilsm video of yours. The very first one I had ever watched about minimilism. Honestly I don't think I even knew about this lifestyle before I saw your videos. Minimilsm has changed my life completely. I absolutely love it and can't imagine going back to the way I use to live. I love your personality, and your videos❤
YES YES YES I'm so glad minimalism and the mindset is life changing I'm glad it found you!
I was literally so excited when you said Anthropology!
I'm a tad jealous haha, but seriously I feel the same way culture and evolution is fascinating
Janell Kristina haha don’t be! I didn’t even get the full anthropology experience because i switched to it halfway through my 3rd year in college LOL. I actually wanted to be a nurse/something in the medical field too but life had other plans for me 😂😅
Great video...thanks and congrats! I married my high school sweetheart 20 years ago. People assume we have the "perfect" marraige because we've never split and they still remember us as lovesick teenagers. The reality is we have constantly had ups and downs since the very beginning and have worked really hard to remain committed. Even now, we're working on making our marraige better and realigning our expectations. We are given so much misinformation through TV/movies, social media highlight reels, and even well-meaning people in our lives...the key is recognizing that fact and working diligently to make your own way in the real world! Oh, and being a mom is a joy (and a challenge) that simply cannot be explained. I struggled to have my only child, and I thrive on motherhood. I guess it's not for everyone, but if you have a healthy mix of desire, wonderment, and fear...I can attest becoming a mother gives you a kind of superpower that overcomes some of those fears in an instant (and maybe brings another set of fears you never imagined). And your childhood doesn't have to dictate your own parenting...definitely not in a bad way. My parents were not bad at all, but they were VERY different from how I am as a mom. I wonder sometimes why my mom didn't open up the world to me more or pass along more of her wisdom as a woman that was once a girl. She died before I got married so I can only wonder. But know you will make your own way...especially a deep thinker like you that is more attuned to your place and impact on the world. May you be blessed!
That's the part of motherhood that keeps me wondering if it's for me and congrats on figuring out marriage your own way. All the power to you
Congrats 80k👍🎊🎉🎊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m so happy for you! Congrats on 80k
So proud of you!!!
Lovely! Congratulations my dear. You are definitely onto something...keep it up. Always look forward to your posts.
Love love love how you are answering more personal questions! I actually never thought of not being shy even though I'm an introvert. Have a great day too!
Thank you for sharing this. Love your approach on live!
And of course 80k (and more!) want to watch your realistic, wise and absolutely authentic videos! Congratulations!
I really enjoy the peaceful presentation you give with each of your topics. Thanks for sharing such lovely videos about your life and what you have learned.
Thanks for being so helpful, Janelle.
You'd be the coolest daughter ever.
Keep on
Such a beautiful being. Almost 40 something y.o. here and love your content. Thank you. So looking forward to your travel nurse video’s, love. Profuse peace and wellness of mind. Keep moving forward🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats on 80k!! Love your attitude towards life and your honesty in your videos :)
I love you because you are a CZcamsr who actually put timestamps below. 😫🥰🥰
Enjoyed this vlog Janell. Your
output was highly informative.
Thanks.
You’ve given me such an inspiration to declutter my life and I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there for all of us and sharing a lot of intimate, personal stories. PS I’m in the medical field too and I can totally relate to your stressful work moments as well. Keep being a badass! I’ll be rooting for you!
The Untethered Soul is what supercharged my awakening! Your awesome! ❤
Hi!! So glad you are posting videos regularly again 💜 thanks for sharing with us how freaking amazing you are. I can relate to connecting to those in the most real moments (like what you shared in the ER). It’s being in the present moment and it is so humbling. We are all human.... it is honorable to work with others when they are at their most vulnerable.
Btw - that color is so beautiful on you
Yes, Uncle Iroh!!!! ❤️
I love the plants in the background. Congrats on the 80k!!
That was the most raw and real explanation for being a nurse I’ve ever heard. Serious respect
Such a beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing with us.
Please keep making videos! Congratulations !You are at 82k right now. Much love 💕💕🌸🌸
And growing fast with 81K! Congratulations!
I know I've loved watching your videos since the one about getting a hamster and overcoming judgment from others. Really inspiring!
Congrats!! You are such a good channel to follow!
Congrats on 80K+ subscribers! Love watching your videos ❤️ And thanks for doing the Q&A
Of course I wish I could do more, seriously thank YOU
your explanation of why you started nursing really hit home for me. i definitely understand being drawn to negative and painful situations, and working emergency is an amazing idea for that.
I loove your explanation to being able to be involved in a "toxic" situation while being a healthy force to it and yourself. That deep sense of awareness makes living intentionally, even with our scars and fuckups much easier to accept as part of ourselves.
Congrats on the 80k! Really good advice and some real talk - I totally dig that you don't sugarcoat things. For ex. the advice on manageable student debt is something that more people should hear, or at least be actively thinking through their planned income vs. the amount of debt they take on.
I love your honesty!
You’re my friend in my head 🤗
Please do more videos soon.
I filmed two today :)
Congrats on 80k! You motivational for the young and old 🙋♀️! I’m a critical care nurse, and get it. Love your channel
It's always nice to hear from the nursing family out there, and thank you!
Your vlogs are a joy to watch I always look forward to your videos 😊
Ahh I'm glad I feel like I'm just rambling sometimes, thank you!
Congratulations and all the best to you! You are inspiring, and although I am far older than you are, you have been able to enlightened my eyes and mind to so many things. I have been enjoying watching your videos and learning at the same time. ❤️
This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Subscribing now! You are truly genuine. I'm a nurse too and love that you brought to light the amount of waste we see and partake in. Like you, I get the reasoning behind it, but it does make me feel bad. Anyways. Keep being you and inspiring! ✌
Love your channel keep up the good work. So very interesting and informative. Congrats on your numbers.
You're so cool! I'm very happy to have stumbled upon your channel. Good luck with your endeavors down the road!
I just wanted to tell you that I stumbled upon your channel when you were around 40,000 subscribers. You've inspired me so much to challenge my habits as a consumer and just to reconsider my lifestyle in general. I actually ended up getting rid of 200+ possessions I owned and didn't use and made an exhibit challenging America's consumerist society for a class. I really love the sit-down and real-talk format you have, and overall just how mindful you are about your lifestyle and the content you include in your videos. Keep up the good work, Janell!
Hey Janell,
Congrats on 81,000 subscribers! That's so badass! Keep going, we love you! :)
Thank you!!
Congratulations on 80,000 subscribers!!!! Buying clothing second hand is one way to be economical and reduce fast fashion's impact. You are so mature for 24! I was not NEARLY so together as you when I was your age. ❤️
I’m not sure why or what parts of this I found so comforting but I’m here for it new subscriber alert 😊
Hey I love your channel. I was so happy to see your hoarding video (my introduction to your channel) pop up on my feed because it was exactly what I needed to see/hear in that moment. Congrats on 80k! Looking forward to seeing your channel grow even more.
I was so surprise so many people related to that video, thank you!
Hi Janell! Fellow nurse here 😊 Congrats on 80K! So happy to have recently subscribed to your channel. I’ve learned so much from you already on minimalism, spirituality, and more and hope to incorporate your tips into my life. Keep it up girl, I look forward to your vids! ⭐️ ✌🏼
Congratulations! I love your videos and am so glad I found your channel 😊
congrats on 81K! This is such an awesome channel!
thank you!
Thanks for making such awesome videos! and congrats on 80k subs, you deserve it gurl ❤️
Thanks for being you and sharing who you are! I’m currently working on finding new role models, and you’re definitely one of them!
Wow thank you
Watched an earlier video about minimalism in a studio apt. Noticing my life has taken that course, along with depression & spirituality in mind, I'm happy to say I'm subscribing, Thank You! I look forward to more videos, I dig your energy!
Proud of you. I'm older and your the age of my daughter. You have a good head on your shoulders and your life/family experience have given you excellent in sight!❤️
You are so wise for your years. I truly enjoy your videos and look forward to more. You’re a beautiful person, both inside and out.
thank you :) I really resonate with the phrase old soul sometimes
congrats on 80k :) So glad I found your channel.
I resonate with you soon much on the distance with parents. I just finished a selfcare video that I editing! Congratulations 🎉 on 80K! You are doing so well!
This is where Nurses should be heard. Their input is priceless.
This video has made me feel really peaceful. I'm currently 17, a junior in high school, trying to figure out what to do and where to go. You've really made me realize that not everything is as big as a deal as I'm making it, and while I do need to do my best to figure things out, I might not need to stress nearly as much as I currently am. I hope I can keep this peaceful mindset and I thank you for helping me come to see things that way! You're really calming!!
Baited!!! J/K. Love your vids! Congrats on 80K. 100K before you know it!
I was folding clothes and saw you posted a video. Def dropped everything to watch 🤗
I remember when you were too busy with school to make videos regularly and its so cool to see that you have time now and are able to create and share what you truly want. Congrats dude!!!
Also hell yeah anthropology rulesss, that was my minor and I ended up going into archaeology! It's so fun!
ahh so cool, thank you! It's been nice to have the time
Thank you for sharing this! You seem super cool and I was surprised to hear you're dark and twisted :P I am like that at my core but it's less at the forefront now (29) than when I was your age and younger. I think it's really neat that you turned that into something positive through your work - you're a total alchemist!
Congratulations ❤💞
You deserve every single subscriber you have, your videos are so wonderful! I especially loved your stance on sexuality - I personally think that we are never really completely done figuering that out because we are all fluent and growing in a way.
Congratulations!!!!!
Wow!! Just found you your Awesome babe!! Keep up being you!! 👍
You reached the 80k girl! I hope that this makes your 6 become 5, your 5 become 4 and so on. Just in case you ever doubt it --> if you keep growing and people keep commenting and stuff is because the content you create is valuable! Thanks a lot!
thank you! I hope so too that would be really nice
love your videos keep them coming, congrats to 80'000!
greetings from switzerlad (which you should check out on your travels ;) )
17:40 this is so healthy and such mature way to deal with yourself and your longings.
I am studying social work, and my reasons for being interested in it seem similar to your reason for being interested in nursing. I want to know segments of society that most people distance themselves from or are afraid of, or would consider "bad." I have never heard anyone articulate that before, and I never really tried to explain it to anyone. Thanks for that and everything else!
So wonderful! ❤️
Another thing about nursing that is wasteful is the water. It’s probably not bad in he ER but after educating myself about how little fresh water the Earth has left it give me anxiety on the med surg floor. My patients who don’t drink water are always requesting more ice for their water and the other nurses are always dumping out their fresh water and refilling it with “fresh” ice water. Thanks for your minimalist nursing input ✌🏻 I feel you girl
Yep :(
Your subscribers have exploded! I can’t believe I was one of the earliest. Congratulations!
Right! Sometimes I miss the old smaller community feel we had but it's been mostly amazing and I can't complain
A few days ago I saw a reddit comment mention your name on a thread about fashion. That's when I knew your channel is finally getting the exposure it deserves and I'm so proud of you ❤
you are so inspiring!
Those same few books you mentioned, have also changed my life. The Alchemist. Is my favorite book of all time! ❤
Congrats!!! In 80k. :) :)
Also. I LOVED the A and B quote about life. Once again....your video has impacted my life. I ❤ u!!
@@Tinygals_Tinylivin the A and B quote helped me a lot too
Same! I read a lot, and The Alchemist is still my all time favorite book!
81K! Love your videos!
Thanks for the video and your general content :) One thing I really like about your videos is how you are chill and calm. I feel like so many youtubers are so obnoxiously hyper enthusiastic (like: "HEEEEEYYYYYY GUUUUUUYYYYS!!!!! Welcome to my CHaaaannnnnnelll!"). To each their own, but that style just really grates on me, and I appreciate that you are just normal and chill. Keep it up, Janell.
Yeah I would strangle myself if that was me haha
Congratulations!
The best way to give anything away is to put it on Craigslist for free.
80k woot woot!
Loved learning more about you Janell. It makes my day when I see a new video from you! Also I KNEW there was a dark and twisted part of you (takes one to know one haha) and that makes me so happy. I really hope we can meet one day.
