- Hi, welcome to Jovie's Home!
Thanks for coming over after all these months!
In this video I will talk a bit about what has been going on in my life and how a magic truffle retreat helped my mental health.

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.

Can I say I am proud of you? As weird as it may seem from one adult to another, I truly am proud that you took the step of trying the magic truffles and sharing your experiences and sharing your mental health journey with us. Want to share this quote by Winnie the Pooh with you: "Promise me you'll always remember: your braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter then you think"
I'm also from the US living in NL. I've lived here for 27 years. I met my partner here and we've been married for 20 years. I found your videos during Covid and it's been great seeing how other's have navigated living in a new country and culture. Right as Covid was closing down the world, my partner was diagnosed with cancer and began a rigorous treatment plan of radiation and chemo. Thankfully the treatment worked and my partner has been cancer free now after three subsequent checkups. However there remains for both of us some sadness and fear. I've discussed with my partner the possibility of these magic retreats. It's great to hear that they do indeed work. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I'll be sharing your video with my partner and hopefully we too will be able to heal a bit. Thanks so much for your video and I wish you the best for your continued well being and happiness with your family.
It sounds like you've undergone a positive transformation, and it's great to see you looking so well. It's important to acknowledge and appreciate the progress you've made, while also remembering and valuing the experiences that have shaped who you are today. Embracing your past can give you a sense of rootedness and stability that can be incredibly valuable in navigating life's ups and downs. Keep up the good work!
You're not alone, feeling lost allright!
Thanks for opening up, gorgeous! Love you for being honest and maybe helping others as well.
Jovie, welcome back! Hope you're feeling better real soon! Keep it up girl, you're stronger than you think! Find yourself, find the rest of the world! ❤
It is good to hear that this is available in the Netherlands. I am so glad it was a healing experience for you. Thank you for being so open and sharing this with us. 🙏💕🇳🇱
I am very happy that this was therapeutic for you! You seem such a calm and well-balanced person, I wish nothing but the best for you!
Thank you, Jovi. Sending you love and healing vibes!
Hi Jovie - thanks for sharing this. I also suffered trauma at 8 years of age (and later) and I too feel that I should be able to 'fix " everything, finding it hard to know what I can and cannot control / help. So your video was very enlightening me for me, here in Australia.
Hi Jovie, glad to see you're doing well and finding the time for self exploration! And glad you had an informative and safe inner journey.
You’re such an inspiration, Jovie! Thank you for sharing your experience! Wish you the brightest future for yourself and your kids
I am so glad that you came back here 😊I wish you all the best on your journey and I know you'l get there🥰
This is such a good video. Life is not easy, some people face these issues and some people face others. I always like people who acknowledge it and show their empathy. Unfortunately, many times it’s not. I m glad you are feeling better. ❤
You're a wonderful human and I admire you so so much! Cheers to your 40s & to healing💗
He Jovie, good to see you posting again. Hope you find healing. Lots of love!
You will come out of that journey stronger than ever. Confronting your past is never easy. but when we do, we are open to greatest change within ourselfs. Glad to hear from you and goodluck on your journey. You are supported by many :)
Thank you for sharing. I am glad you got insights from your trip. I am glad you posted this video, had missed you. Take care.
You look so much better and healthier with out the excessive amount of makeup. Even though I have been watching your CZcams for around a year this one I really connected to. My kiddos father and I have been actively for the last year tossing around the idea of moving to the Netherlands with our 5 children. For the values my family has the USA is a sinking ship who’s holes are to large to patch.
Finding yourself. That's one of the toughest walks to do. And one of the most necessary.
Good show Jovie. And thank you a lot for sharing.
Hang in there Jovie! It gets better!
Jovie! It's so awesome to hear about this- I'm so happy for you having this way to do this deep inner work- that sounds absolutely amazing. Sending you big hugs and I hope we can connect soon! (No pressure!)
Wish you all the best! Stay strong and think only about pozitive things! 🤗
Jovie… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I don’t usually post on your videos, but I watch them. Always remember how much beauty you bring into this world and never let the dark moments take you away. You have tremendous value and you are cared about. ❤❤
Hi Jovie.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!
I am so happy you have reconnected with your inner child and begun your healing journey!
My thinking of you today and coming to your channel to check in with you is no coincidence.
Today is the 20th anniversary of my dad's passing and I am missing him very much.
It's been some time since I've seen your videos. I was just sitting here mindlessly scrolling and you popped in my mind.
I'm like...
...ohhhhh, where has she been?
I started watching you around 2018, which is when I first met the Dutchman I'm in love with.
He and I share a deep connection and when we met, all my intuitive senses that had lain dormant were activated.
My energy was extremely heightened and for the first few weeks after he and I met I remained in an exalted state.
Because of this, along with your being authentic and transparent, I could sense things about you that are in line with what you have shared here.
I didn't see the part about the plant medicine, but I did see your awakening coming.
I think it's wonderful your children saw the visible difference in you.
Your healing will impact them in a positive way and has most likely already set them on trajectory that is more in line with their Souls plan than they may have experienced had you remained in your unhealed state.
There is SO much more I would love to share but my message is already growing quite long so I will leave it here for now.
If you are seeking anyone to chat with about your spiritual journey, I would love to offer a listening ear and help in any way I can
Wishing you blessings and peace along your journey.
😇💝🙏🕊️🌷
All my respect to you for sharing this, beautiful lady. 👍👍🧡 Life sucks, we all know that, but being proactive in handling mental problems, like you do now, is só very important. You are on the right track and you will 'get there' where you want to be.
😘❤ Hou je taai, je komt er wel! We blijven op je wachten hoor.
Hey Jovie, whatever you are dealing with, I wish you well. Hope you find your answers and some peace. You do look different! I hope you choose to share and come back to making videos when you are comfortable. Hugs! ❤️
All the best Jovie. ❤
Goed bezig, veel wijsheid op je reis 💚
Jovie, thank you for sharing your story. I am about to hit 50, and I feel so disconnected. I wish I could do something like this in the states, but of course it's not offered. I look forward to more videos (when you are able) and I am sending you light and love along your journey.
Thanks for sharing! I’m so proud of you ❤
All the best for you Jovi. And please let us know about your next truffel experience❤
Thank you for sharing this part of yourself.
I wish it works well for you! You somehow look healthier, I can't explain why, more tonus on your face or something. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏻
Hi Jovie. Respect! This is so personal. Thank you for being so open and courageous.
As far as I can tell, you are a gem. As a mother, as a person.
Keep on going like this 👍. Beautiful, gorgeous, strong.
Wishing you a very long, loving, happy and healthy life 💖💪
I just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your channel as I am hoping to move to the NL after I complete my education as an Accountant. While I love the US, I just feel the need for a new environment in some place that is a little more quite and laid back. Your videos have been very inspirational and extremely helpful. I also suffer from issues of mental health and anxiety and I wish you and your family all the best.
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your heart
I can just feel your emotion splashing off the screen. But good for you for working on yourself. You are only 40 years young so you still have a whole life ahead of you. Then you better feel good about yourself. And then you think you're there and then something happens in your life that allows you to start looking for yourself again. But it is good. You rediscover yourself again and again. Good luck in your exploration. Greetings from an always self-seeking man (who could easily have been your father in terms of age).
Hi beautiful Jovie, I hope your doing well. Just a bit of encouragement from a stranger. I hope you can enjoy this hot Holland summer in good health. Go girl, keep sending out your good vibes. We’ll be waiting for you. ♥️
U are so brave for sharing this
Thanks and I will look into it if this will be for me maybe!
such a beautiful video - thank u for sharing!
Sorry to hear you where going through struggles. But I'm glad you recognised that there were issues..., and started addressing them to get yourself in better shape. Adressing the issue is one of the biggest and most difficult steps in a healing process like this to take.. That being said.. pls always keep in mind that medicines and/or natural remedies, can help you get back on your feet... BUT...they are only tools/assistance to a healing... NOT "the" magical solution....! And with powerfull medicines/natural remedies, 9 out of 10 they always come with harsh side effects.! Not only for yourself, but more importantly, also for your family and family life aswell... please be carefull with this journey to recovery.. but stay safe..
Glad, that you're finding yourself and good luck with your journey! 💝
By the way, nice weather in Scheveningen! 😜
Enjoy your stay! 🏖🍹✌🏼
Jovie ❤️ lots of love to you!
Taking good care of yourself is important. Especially mental health. Don't worry... we'll still be here..
good for you , girl. i am glad for you.
Heartfelt posting here, Jovie. I haven't had much to do with hallucinogenics. Hash and I don't get along. However, I remember taking Psilocybin about 30 years ago and being convinced I was on Géricault's 'Raft of the Medusa'. I hope to get back there one day...
Sending you positive vibes
I don't usually write comments, but as someone that recently moved to the NL for my partner I have to let you know how helpful your videos have been. I've missed seeing your content, and I feel like I can connect to you in some way through your transparency and experiences. Watching you has become so much more than your opinion on this country, and over time I feel like I can see you as a sort-of internet mother / friend. You help me feel less alone here after moving away from my friends and family in the US.
I've seen that you don't wish to talk about your husband (or ex?) out of respect for privacy. You're a very considerate person for doing that, but if you are indeed no longer together I think talking about it would help more people than you realize - though only in your own time and comfort. What happens when we move to the NL with someone (or for them) and split? How do you discover yourself in another country without them? How does your perspective on it change, how is the process handled, how do children factor in, do you still feel comfortable or 'rooted' here, etc.? There are a lot of questions and concerns many of us may have or find comfort in hearing. I hope you are able to expand on this a bit more for yourself and all of us. I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, and please know you have an internet community that truly cares for you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m trying to find a way to talk about this in a way that can help people and be respectful to his and our kids’ privacy. It’s still very complicated…
@@JoviesHome Of course, I understand completely. This is your life, after all. You have to do what's best for you and your children! I wish you all the best.
Jovie the real force is within you not in any kind of drugs be honest and open to yourself and you will heal yourself
I agree that the real force is within ourselves and it’s not about drugs and I don’t advocate for that. But this process helped me to connect my conscious and subconscious minds which is something I couldn’t do before. And it helped me find the answers within myself.
I moved to the Netherlands in 2021. I stopped my job, left my family and everything I had ever known. I became a SAHM. My children were both diagnosed ND in the last year. My life has changed so profoundly. I have no idea who or what I am. There is no centre. It's terrifying.
❤ I feel for you, seek help in anyway you can🙏hang in there❤
I can't speak for everyone but it's absolutely no burden if you also share about bad times or problems. It just makes you human and us appreciate you more. At least that's how I feel about it. Relationships with people (no matter wich kind) are always so much better if you can also talk about the bad times in your life. It's probably even helpful to other people to see that you aren't just perfect and happy all the time either.
I dislike drugs so I won't be joining you there next time but if it works for you? Go for it and good luck! ❤
Getting for real, scary (believe me i know) but love it!❤ thank you so much for this! ❤
Thank you so much for being who you are...honest, genuine..and I am sure a good , loving caring mother..being confronted with yourself as a 8 year old girl, the time and tender age you sadly lost your father, you see your children at about the same age, as you were then..it is confronting. I can relate to that experience. The fact that you are able to share this with me and all of us, that are wishing you all the best, is a testament of strenght.
Your awareness of your own personal situation is I guess, for lack of a better word, growing pains, wich we all have at different points in life.
I think that living in the Netherlands is giving you the oppertunity to grow, on that level, meaning, our society is set up in an environment where personal growth and work/life ballance go hand in hand. So that not only you, your children and your husband can get in ballance and be the best you can be, and contribute to our society..as you are allready doing in a magnificent way.
Take it from me, and my guess is many more in our little country, you are wellcome as you are..go on with your youtube streaming, and show the world how we all can help eachother, better understanding how we are as humans, and you yourself as a beautifull woman, a loving wife and a caring mother! mucho greets and hugs ..Phil
Thank you for this personal and vulnerable account.
Whereas I'm not convinced mushrooms would be a good choice for everyone (and yes, I'm a Dutchie :P ), I'm glad they helped _you_ in your personal journey.
❤ thank you for sharing! Ik wens je het allerbeste en ik hoop dat je antwoorden vindt op je vragen voor de toekomst.
Bless you. Hope you lose your fears.
That looks like a really nice place!
When I see this video of you, I can only think of one thing. The Wim Hof Method and particularly the breathing part. You can heal and find yourself without taking any substances.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm looking forward when I'm not breastfeeding anymore so I can do this and hopefully meeting you over there!
I'm glad that this door has opened for you...
Thank you very very much.
Hi Jovie… you might be interested in also doing some additional work with a trauma therapist around the issue of unresolved childhood trauma. I have started my own journey along a similar path. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings! ❤
Get well Jovie. Sometimes one needs to rebuild oneself, mushrooms are a good way to do so.
Just wondering about what conditions it is used for, how long does this therapy last for, does it need be repeated and are there any side effect?. Thanks ❤
Take your time (and some magie truffels if you wish) ,,, All the best from the Netherlands
Sending ❤️❤️ from New Zealand (the one Down Under). Can relate immensely ..🥝
They’re very medicinal. You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been.
They helped my oldest son tremendously, right after he finished high school (what was going on, would he too much here). It helped him embrace our Native American culture and be in the right mindset to go in the Sweatlodge.
Fast forward 10 years and he’s worked in Mexico at a solar panel factory, took his TESOL certification on his cell phone on Mexi WiFi in a cafe, interviewed and got hired to teach English in China-then after a year teaching in Beijing, got inspired to get a more advanced degree and just finished that at Siam Technical University in Thailand. He’s going back to China to teach English to adults this time, and taking his new Thai bride with him.
Thank you for sharing. I hope you wil find your goals in this journey. I am sorry the noticed that you are not able to talk about your husband only the kids are important at this moment. But you have to do wat is necessary. I do think that it might help to involve your husband in this. But it's all up to you. Good luck and strenght in your efforts.
Thank you for your kind wishes. There is a reason I don’t talk about him 🥺💔.
May the way of the hero lead to the triforce!
First of all: take off my shoes? At your current location? I do not think I would be wearing any, tbh X-D
Second of all: You have opened the door to coping with everything that has happenend in and to your life; all your experiences have more influence than we sometimes dare to acknowledge, be it good, bad or a mix of both. That realisation alone is enough to be able to start work on loving yourself and sharing that love to others in a very meaningful way.
Problems solved? Nope! On the road to better? Heck yeah!
tl;dr: you go grrrl! And take your kids with you in the dance of life!
❤️
Veel succes and take care
a darn good PTSDtreatment ,i had mushrooms in my reval♿️
Know when you can/can’t do psychedelics. I have so much trauma from my childhood that I can’t let it out in a way that I can’t stop it when I need to stop it. Psychedelics last for hours and if you have tons of childhood trauma, this might not be for you.
🕊️
That's beautiful beach.
Magic truffels. Sounds tasty.
Oh, not the truffles I thought LOL!
But if it works for you, heard it's worked for others. I personally think its more effective and non-addicting as the big pharma junk here in the states... should I have such diagnosis or just feel that I need such assistance... I would try something like that first than the Rx stuff. Heard too many times that it's worked for them. And if it doesn't... well then you go conventional.
Sterke video.
😍
New glasses!
I prefered cannabis, it turns problems into solutions, get focused on the positive things, mushrooms are too strong.
Your ate Great and direct 👍
I have to pick up your channel again. I missed a lot. Becoming very interesting.
Het klopt wel, je uitstraling is zachter geworden. Niet dat je daarvoor kil overkwam, maar gewoon, zachter. Ik herken delen van je verhaal. Als een Asperger (ongediagnosticeerd) kind kan je ook niet zijn wie je wilt zijn. Dat roept ook alleen maar negativiteit op om je heen. Dus doe je je rug recht en je kin omhoog en ga je door je grenzen heen, iedere dag weer. En dat gaat je hele leven door, als je tenminste in deze wereld wil functioneren als een "normaal" mens. Dat lukt sommigen (waaronder mij), en het went.
Bedankjuwel
❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌
I always enjoyed your videos; because we're alike, aren't we?
Jovie, you look well, it seems like you've parted ways from your husband? You seem extremely hurt, sad, it's hard.
This is something I wish I could talk about more but out of respect for his privacy I cannot. Maybe one day. Thank you for your support ❤️
@@JoviesHome ❤❤❤
❤ ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))❤
Can you get any more awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are just as old as you want to be. You are never too old to start your second youth or teens. Seen that plenty of times. I am also a bit curious 'bout where is your husband in this? Or did I miss something?
Thank you ❤
I don’t talk about my husband out of respect for his privacy, but…💔🥺
Jovie, do you need an assistant?
It's tragic how many decades of research and potential have been wasted by the war on drugs. Pump people full of chemical anti-depressants, but a natural medicine with profound effects in a fraction of the time was off-limits for all that time. Things are changing thankfully.
The links are missing
They’re added now! Thanks ❤❤
Jovana ,I really hope things turn out the way you want them to be.
👩🏻🏫It seems your medical journey taught you the difference between playing & gaming?
The main difference is that playing is free to try, safe to err, no rules of engagement, no necessary equipment, riches. Gaming is costly, requires resources; there are rules, structures, clear definitions of success, even engagement depends on chosen strategy.
🤔I guess your 8 yo self understood on a fundamental level that when your dad passed away *playtime* was over and it was suddenly *Game On!*
😄And now that your kids go to school it suddenly could be *playtime* again?
🤓Like you I'm on a medical journey too. I'm also neurodivergent, but I might be gifted instead. From my 6th I understood the difference between abstract (what people say) & concrete (what people do). I learned early on that what people say they'll do might be completely different from what they actually will do.
*That people aren't what they believe themselves to be, but that they are what they're doing.*
🧠So at an early age I understood that *the truth isn't what is important, but what is socially accepted.* I've been fighting depression ever since and believed that my depression was caused by a childhoodtrauma, but it seems that it might actually be existential depression.
😶A form of depression gifted people often suffer from.
Ik neem aan dat je Nederlands kan lezen.
Mij moeder zei tegen mij toen ik met het nieuws kwam dat mijn vrouw zwanger was: "Weet dat 1 ding zeker is. Alles, maar dan ook alles wordt anders..."
En dat klopte. Enige jaren later na een heleboel veranderingen in ons leven. Bijvoorbeeld een paar sterfgevallen in de familie, nichtjes in huis nemen en, tjesses, zoveel.
Ik vond mijzelf ergens in die periode bij de huisarts. Kennelijk gedurende een kwartiertje alleen maar aan het spuien geweest en totaal uit focus.
Slecht slapen, stemmingswisselingen, piekeren, niet toegankelijk zijn.
Een psycholoog zei tegen mij: "De archiefkast in je hoofd met lades en deurtjes, geheime vakjes en verloren gewaande ervaringen is omgevallen. Alles ligt op de vloer. Wij gaan samen de kast rechtop zetten en alles weer netjes opruimen waar het hoort."
En dat is een proces wat tijd in beslag neemt, veel tijd. En, en dat voel ik bijna door het scherm heen, veel emotie.
Om een erg lang verhaal verder kort te houden: Je focus komt helemaal terug, sterk en veerkrachtig zodat je met goed gevoel nog eens door die ladekast kan struinen en er uit kan gebruiken wat belangrijk voor jou en je omgeving is.
Cheers, everything will work out one way or the other.
Was it psilocybin I have heard good things about dem.?
Yes, it was! Thanks for watching ❤️
Bedankjuwel
Jovie, while i wish you well, this sounds like from a Netflix documentary on some sect.
Why not talk to a psychologist/psychiatrist(they are hard to find, especially in a country where you probably can not choose), but still. Going on and recommending a magic truffel retreat? Just take a step back and think. This can not be a solution, but the beginning of a problem.
Please, stay away from charlattans! Wishing you the strength to get through the midlife crisis. Work as a vollunteer with homeless/drugaddicts/kids with special needs, etc. That might make you realise how fortunate you are.
Nah, should not be a problem unless you make it a habit... Could be really mind-opening for some people, there are many many examples around.
why don't you mention your husband in this video, is he supportive?
🥺💔
Lots of love to you, Jovana ❤
Van dat (American) cult gezeur, ja. Het ga je goed.
