Thank you, as always, to @goed.gedaan for his excellent editing.
PS - If you're wondering why my videos will always be in English, the answer is simple: more people in the world speak English than Dutch. I want this channel to be accessible and understandable for as many people as possible.
From an elderly person who had mutiple changes in her life, I can say, you did the best thing anyone could do in the situation in which you are now. And that is: excersise. Not only for your physical but more for your mental health. It helps immensely. I wish you peace with everything you going through.
do be careful about controlling your food as a means of "controlling something in your life" as that can lead to eating disorders.
I agree. That exaggerated gaiety can be nothing more than a self-defensive mask above an internal nervous breakdown. I would seek a therapist in Jovie's place before it is too late.
Way to go, Jovie. Sorry to hear that things didn't work out. It's great to see you being proud of yourself for finding the strength within you. Love, Tom.
You look like a new person , Jovie. Wishing you all the Best ❤
Hoi Jovie spijtig te horen van je scheiding. Bewondering voor jou doorzettingsvermogen. Het gaat je lukken! Meteen weer even geabonneerd. Fijne week gewenst.
For future content, you could do a series on how the Dutch approach health and fitness? As an American, I definitely see big cultural differences, and this topic would align closely to your own personal journey. Good luck and wish you all the best! I missed your videos :)
As a dutchy i also like to hear the differences as a single parent here in the Netherlands and in the US. Furthermore i really hopen you have enough friends and network to support you in all you're going through
Best wishes for your new life Jovie. When I became a single parent with my three children I learnt how to do a lot of home and car maintenance myself, made me feel so proud and strong. Also my children were so proud of me. ❤
American (guy) watching from the state of Rhode Island in the U.S.-I discovered your channel by accident a couple(?) of years ago-and followed semi-regularly-haven't seen a post in a year(?) or so-so surprised/but not by your divorce announcement-it happens-but either way-much props for your honesty-it'll help a lot of people-that's it for now-look forward to future content!
DIY is the absolute Dutch way!! Welcome in your new life, Dutchy🤗. Wish you lots of (self)love😘
Jovie.. You've helped me so much on my journey to the Netherlands. I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time, but you seem like a very strong person and I am confident that you will come out even stronger on the other side of this. All my best thoughts are with you.
Oh Jovie, I am so glad you are back and that, despite the up coming
divorce, that you are doing well.
I would love to hear about your training and eating schedule.
I can’t wait to see your apartment decorated.
Enjoy your new apartment!
You look better than ever! A brand new start for a brand new Jovie...with little sparkles in her eyes. Good luck for the future.
Well done, moving in to a Dutch home is not for the faint of heart. Never mind while going through a divorce! I don’t have kids but did go through a divorce while living overseas and so away from my family and it is tough. The only thing I can say, not knowing your personal situation of course, is try to remember why you loved this person and try and make the divorce as amiable as possible. Not just for the kids but also for yourself, life is much better if you are able to communicate with your ex, without hatred. Good luck on all your new adventures, may they be happy, full of love and laughter
Nicely stated ❤️
Het beste en veel geluk in je nieuwe leven, Jovie. Je verdient het zeker na alle ellende die je doorstaan hebt. Hopelijk gaat het vanaf nu beter.
Het is fijn je terug te zien.
@@leonmiguel459 I said that I wish her much happiness in her new life. I added: you certainly deserve it after all the misery you've been through. Hopefully things will go better from now on. It's good to see you back again.
@@leonmiguel459 I hope you could understand it now, now I've translated it into English?
@@leonmiguel459 I can read and understand German perfectly, yes. I had 6 years of German lessons at the middelbare school (secondary school) when I was young, and I've kept it up by reading quite a lot in the language. Same as I did with English and French.
@@leonmiguel459 Strangely enough, I always found French the easiest language. I know I'm an exception in that but I never understood why people think French so difficult. To me it's extremely easy.
@@leonmiguel459 la langue Française est plus facile que l'Anglais dans mon opinion, donc je te comprends!
I absolutely adore that you are learning how strong and capable you are through this difficult process. You're such a beam of sunshine regardless, and as someone who has been through an enormous amount of things and am still working on getting better, I just want to say how proud of you I am
You were very missed Jovie! I'm so excited for the new season of this channel :) Sending lots of love & thanks for the gym motivation
My husband died Jan. 2024. Like you, I have to figure out a new life for myself too. I wish you every success and happiness, dear Jovie.
Sorry for your loss ❤
Yovie, more than you know, it’s so inspiring to see you moving through this and thriving during this difficult time. I’m so happy for you and excited for your new beginnings with the “old, new” you. I love that you’re getting back to HER ❤
Jovie, congrats on being on the road to the life you want and deserve! This must be a hard time but I'm glad that you seem so happy and focused. Good luck with everything, follow your intuition and pay no attention to the critics! ❤️
I missed you so much! Glad to see you back, but so sorry for what you were going through. YES to ALL the videos!! Yes please ma’am!! I’m here for all of it! *can you tell I’m a HUGE fan* 😊 Happy to see you again. Sending you all the love and hugs!❤
Hi Jovie, so sorry to hear about your divorce. It must be difficult. As a mediator, I help people with this proces also is some international cases here in the Netherlands. If you are looking for someone to help you with the video about divorce in the Netherlands, feel free to get in touch.
Jovie, you look so incredible and feel proud of your efforts, thanks for sharing your story!
Very proud of you and the rediscovery that you are doing of yourself. You have another expat supporting you here ❤ keep at it!
Sorry to hear about your divorce. I am looking forward to seeing some parts of the new chapter. It would interesting to hear about the process of you getting your new apartment. Wishing you peace and happiness ❤
Hey Love,
I have followed you for YYYEEEAAARRRSSS and you have helped me to get to where I am only ONE YEAR AWAY from moving abroad to Malmo, Sweden! The next chapter things that I'd love to see are:
(1) Your weight loss and health journey (especially through the healthcare system there).
(2) Your home or apartment buying process(es).
(3) Your day in the life journey in The Netherlands (going grocery shopping, getting on public transit, etc.)
(4) Your new employment journey.
(5) Anything Americans abroad.
Keep doing all the things you do. We're here with you girl!!!
Interesting, do u plan a YT channel about that?
@@krokodilen31 . . . I hope to . . . especially since I just got accepted to graduate school in Sweden, which allows me to bring my family with me.
@@stac_y_with_no_e ok lets hope so.....ur welcome to our sometimes dark and cold country.........🤗
@@krokodilen31 why thank you 😊 I’m still getting the “to-do” things done, but I’ll keep folks posted.
Wow, it's impressive to see how well you cope with such an awful situation. You see the positive things and have a good focus on your health. I'm happy to see your future content, and I wish you well with a new episode of your life!
I like to watch your videos because you have such a sweet voice, a lovely smile, and even in your present turbulent situation you are able to stay calm and positive. I wish you strength, Jovie!
Congratulations on the divorce Jovie. I also divorced in April 2023. Best decision of my life. I’m 100% independent. After a rough couple of months my kids and I have all of our essentials, minimalist and easy home. Kids live with me and are sooooooooo much happier and tranquil. I feel like my IQ went up dramatically. I’m not kidding it’s as if a thick fog was removed from my brain and I can think clearly and creatively now. I have a whole set of new friends now which was not possible to have before due to my ex’ attitude. My focus is on physical and mental health and enjoying life to the fullest with my kiddies. In one sentence: Welcome to Freedom!
Congratulations on all of your new endeavors! Sorry to hear about the challenges that you are going through and appreciate you sharing your life with us!
How about taking us through your apartment process with you, from an empty box to the finished home???
It could be inspiring for other girls facing uncertain times like this to see that, if you can do it, then we can, too.
You come across so much more genuine and relaxed than in some your previous videos. Good for you!
Bright Blessings, Jovie - a lot of this is resonating with me and my situation, right now. Solidarity, sister! ✨
I love that you are focusing on you your health and happiness I think Olaf said it best "We're calling this 'controlling what you can when things feel out of control. '
I’m so happy to see you making videos again! I’ve missed hearing you talk about your life and adventures. I’d be very interested in hearing about all of the topics you suggested - the legal process, the apartment hunt, your DIY projects and your health routines. I’m also here for whatever other topics inspire you! I started watching for your videos about Dutch culture, but after watching all of your videos, I find you warm and kind and funny - I love hearing about your life, your observations and opinions, and am looking forward to whatever you choose to share here in the future.
Jovie I wish you the best in your new life. You look very strong and definitely I can see a beautiful change in your energy 🥰🥰 I am very excited to see this new chapter, honestly anything you share with us I will be happy to see. I am going through a lot of change and uncertainty right now as well, and you are such an inspiration for me, to do better and to be better. Thank you Jovie! 🩷🩷
Way to go Jovie! You inspire me so much, can't wait to see what great things you do next! Personally, I always love seeing shots of nature and architecture. 🧡💛💚💙💜
Yes 👍 to all topics for videos that you suggested in this video.
I sincerely wish you all the best in this journey that you’re on.
Your transformation is amazing 🤩
You look great and I wish you nothing but happiness and health
It would be interesting to get your take on the housing market. In The Netherlands compared to what you were used to in the USA and perhaps elsewhere in Europe. In my view, there are huge financial interests, even a royal one, that have a huge interest in keeping the housing market as tight as possible. The last thing these interests want is to have sufficient numbers of houses, apartments and such for everyone. Imagine there would be no shortage of houses, how happy people would be!
Wishing you and your family all the best! ❤
Wishing you and your kiddos all the best. You deserve the world my friend. I would love to follow your journey getting your apartment together and your day to day life and how you are doing it in the Netherlands 💙
Good for you! Welcome back. Wish you all the best for the future and looking forward to more videos 👍🏻
Best wishes in your new start. You deserve to be happy and I can't wait to see the 'old' Jovie back here.
What I would like to see in the future, is definitely more fo you and your content. I'm proud of you. 😍
Hi Jovie, love to hear all about the things you mention in this video.
Wishing you all the the best!
You are an inspiration Jovie. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Would love to see some videos on how you found housing in the Netherlands and your experience with that. It would also be interesting to know how you view the Netherlands now versus as a married person. Thank you!
You look great Jovie! I love all your videos no matter what the subject is, I love your positivity. Positivity is very strong, every winner is a positive person, I m sure you will find good subjects for your videos!
Jovie, wat een grote veranderingen! Je mag inderdaad heel trots zijn op jezelf voor wat je hebt bereikt in je huis en WellBeing. En ja...zelf schilderen, behangen, laminaat leggen.. dat is fysiek en mentaal ook niet heel makkelijk maar zeer rewarding om het eindresultaat te zien van je eigen harde werk. Succes de komende periode met de verbouwing en scheiding. Je kunt het! En wat een mooie supportive berichten hier. Hartverwarmend.
I'm so glad you're taking time to take care of yourself. Divorce is a super stressful time and I cannot imagine how it must be with children in the mix and as an expat. Remember to take time to feel your feelings. I hope you find a new stability and are able to make your new home a reflection of you.
Nice to see you again, I haven't been on your channel in a while. You look amazing and beautiful as always. What you're going through must be very hard but hard things lead to the most incredible places so I am excited to see where you will be in the future. Hope you feel supported.
Thanks for sharing! Your openness is inspiring. I also face challenges in the Netherlands, and fitness has helped me feel more in control of my life (although is anyone ever, really). Finding a good therapist also helped. Suddenly facing multiple life changes in a foreign country can be challenging, and I bet you have a great support system around you.
You look great! I am sorry for the difficult times you have been going through. I would love to see an apartment video from now until it is all done. Love your videos and welcome back!
I wish you the best and I hope it will turn out for the best. It sounds as if you're turning a very interesting new leaf despite the taxing process you're going through. I hope you can still make videos and feel that your community supports you. I'd love to see your views on building your new home and how divorce works in the Netherlands but only when you're comfortable doing so. I am sure no one wants you to get into details you don't want to share. Kudos on the fitness challenge. You look fabulous for it and I'm happy you feel better. Again all the best in the upcoming times.
Glad to catch up with you, Jovie. I wish you all the best in your new home and circumstances, and look forward to seeing and hearing more soon! 😀😉
So nice to see you're back! Inspite to your private problems! I hope you will get better and better, day by day! Stay healthy! Keep vloging! 👍👏
Jovie, hope you'll soon be able to let the official stuff behind and really start your "new" life. Just keep digging to find yourself and allow the good things to come back into your life. I hope you'll share whatever you are most comfortable with sharing and get the most satisfaction from. All the best in this difficult period of your life.
You’re looking amazing!! Congrats on all of your progress. Send all of that stress away!! ❤
Oh Jovie I've missed you! Happy to hear your life is on track even with the divorce. Life goes on either way and we must make the best of it. Looking foward to your videos.
Omg you've been so off my radar and off my reccommended page but i came here to check in and all this has happened. I really am happy for you, it looks like youre getting close and honest with yourself and thats the best thing a human can experience or do in life. To go throught life with that mindset. Its easy for men or life to get in the way of that so im generally always happy for women when they get out of relationships and get the chance to really rely on themselves and see how powerful that is.
...good to have you back...whatever you do or want to do...think things over and then decide...hope things will work out fine for you!!!
Hi Jovie, I have been watching your videos for a while now and recently moved to NL myself. I have been struggling a lot with my mental health lately and I was wondering if you could ever do a video on how mental health help in NL works. Thanks and so glad you're back!
Thanks for the update and sorry for the bad news. Best of Luck!❤
Glad you're back, Jovie. I can see the recent times left its marks. I hope you are going to do well building your new life.
Good to have you back Yovie, you look fab, wishing you all the best and keep strong.xx
Hi Jovie! So good to see you. Very happy to know that you are making the necessary adjustments in a very difficult time. Very sorry to hear that you are going through a divorce hon. I'm wishing you all the best during the course of this life transition. I would very much like to know more about how you got your new apartment. I intend to become a permanent resident in the NL soon so I need all of the help I can get. I would also enjoy hearing about how you learned to do your own home improvements. I'm certainly going to have to do much of the work myself.
Wonderful to see u on your channel Jovie i been follow ing u kinda since the start and i really missed i and your never ending energy...... Lots og hugs from Sweden and take care always.
Missed watching your videos. Hope you come through this difficult time and become even more happy in your freedom.
Wauw, Jovie! Je bent bezig aan een wedergeboorte.
Een scheiding is een van de zwaarste dingen in het leven, ik weet nog goed hoe dat was toen mijn ouders gingen scheiden. Mijn moeder is destijds door een heel diep dal gegaan, maar is als een feniks uit de as herrezen, sterker dan ooit. En wat je zegt over sport is heel herkenbaar. Sport heeft mij door menige depressies gesleept. Ik doe het nog steeds drie keer per week, puur voor mijn mentale gesteldheid. Het geeft me zoveel energie dat ik automatisch vrolijker in het leven sta en als ik in de spiegel kijk vind ik mezelf er ook nog beter uit zien. Ik kan meer dan ik ooit heb gekund en dat was niet eens mijn doel. Beweging is gewoon zo goed voor een mens. Volgens mij ben je bezig om sterker dan ooit te worden. Geweldig!
Heel veel sterkte door deze moeilijke tijden, maar bovenal gefeliciteerd met je transformatie als feniks. Je gaat een prachtige metamorfose tegemoet.
Life happens to us all... All the best to you, Jovie. Stay strong and healthy. And YOU LOOK GREAT! Much love from Amsterdam xxx
Love seeing you again! Welcome back.
Many of us can relate. You are a beautiful person, so keep trucking.❤
Good to see you back here, it's been a while. Best of luck moving on with the rest of your life and look forward to seeing more of you again soon.
You got this Jovie. And just take the time you need.
You’ve been missed, Jovie!
‘Don’t let the hard days win’. You look fabulous and healthy! Looking forward to your evolution on the channel. New apt vids, new recipes you’re using now to maintain the new lifestyle😃
I’m sorry that you have been going through a rough patch and with the best for you and your family. Please return to the VLOG when you are up for it. Hugs.
Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the things you have to go through. But you're a strong woman. Mentally and physically as well right now. So you'll be fine! Love, Robin
Good luck to you! Always loved your videos!
Good to see you again, i hope good things will come your way. About video content: I would love to see how you decorate and (thrift)shop for your new house!
Hi Jovie, go girl. Keep sending out your good vibes. ❤
Lot's of support Jovie! Well done ! Moved to NL, also frustrated by house and job hunting, fully understand you!
I wish you all the strenght and wisdom in this rough time. And thank you for returning :) . What i would like to see is how you prepare your appartment and how you lost 10 pound in 7 weeks.
I just want to say that you are incredible. Even in this tough time you keep being positive ❤
Wow Jovie !! Wish you all the love in the world!
You go girl! The best wishes for your new life in The Netherlands.
I haven't been following your videos for some time. Today I stumbled on this video. You look marvellous and you sound much more confident. Hope you'll find your happiness.
Wishing you all the best in your new life!
Haven't checked your channel for a while. Stay strong and love you!!!
Lots of strength in dealing with the divorce procedures. Succes met het zoeken van een nieuwe balans. Je bent veel afgevallen zie ik. Ik zou graag woningvlogs zien. Inrichten huis. Je lacht veel maar het zal niet makkelijk zijn geweest. En nu nog steeds misschien. Wat goed van je dat je nu van alles zelf doet. Ik snap het helemaal toen je zei dat je over sporten zei dat je daar controle over hebt in een periode dat alles toch onzeker is. ❤❤❤
Divorse is never easy but you seem to come on out stronger. Thats a good thing. Be proud of what you doing at the moment. I would love to see all the videos you talk about all are intresting. See you soon with a new video.
You really look and sound great! Its very brave of you to share this with all of us and I am sending you lots of love and strength to get through this situation. I am in a similar situation as you so it will really help me if you can talk about your story of transformation and also about getting a divorce being an international in The Netherlands.
Best wishes for your new life. Learning to do for yourself makes you stronger and more independent. I'd love to better understand the Diutch educational system. Especially the route from middle school to occupational training/internship and university.
I'm so proud of you i know some of these are hard for you but you can do this.
You’ve got this and you should be proud of yourself! A video about expat divorce would be appreciated. Also, you look great, Jovie!
Hapily you are back. It's great to see you again.
How does everything work, work, your new home, pick up your new life? I hope it goes good.
I hope you get your life on track. Your channel, what I would like to see, is in the first place much more videos than lately. Like the first few years, when you posted two of three times a week a video. Videos like how it is for you alone, and as a single parent. And workout.
So sorry to hear this unwelcome news. Your such a nice and kind person. But your strong. Injoy your life and beter things are on there way.
Sad to hear about the divorce but good to hear that you're doing well. I'm looking forward to some new video's with Jovie's DIY lessons.
Totally unexpected for me😱, but from personal experience I relate to all of you in these difficult times. When your kids get 2 warm homes, they will cope well with this new situation.
Hi Jovie! Definitely YES on all your video ideas: what its like to divorce as an expat in the Netherlands (legal stuff), what its like to try and find an apartment, WHY Dutch apartments aren't finished when you rent (buy?) one like they are in the USA (except NYC), the whole minimum income requirement and other Dutch laws we may need to know....Also, I have seen people post videos on how bad medical care in the Netherlands is - can you comment? Hugs! You got this! (I'm divorced too)
immigrant. Not expat
I'm sorry you and your family have to go through this, I wish you all the best.
Maybe a new series with Daan could give a renewed spark to the the channel and you personally some distraction.
Glad to see you smiling in the video, all is not lost.
It is so great to see you again. You look wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
I am very interested understanding how to get a apartment. Love your work, glad to see your back and doing well.
You are looking good Jovie. Enjoy your new home!
