My husband and I paid off $72,000 of debt this year!! I am so proud to say we are debt free. It took a lot of hard changes but we are so happy because of the changes we made. We are literally starting our lives over but I hope we can teach our kids that going into debt to keep up with everybody else will never make them happy ❤️ I have loved your content this year. Keep going. You are doing amazing things.
My big victory is graduating college after 8 long years of challenging times and obstacles! I kept persevering and kept the faith that one day I would finish and move on to bigger and better things! ✨
Isn't it strange how most of us girls are never taught that? Even Jennifer Lawrence, a very confident and successful woman, said she's still learning she doesn't have to smile when a man makes her uncomfortable. And saying no? Even harder when you're conditioned to always smile and agree. Awesome that you've learned :) Congrats!!
My big victory is finally having the courage to leave my workplace where I had spent 5 years working, getting out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there to find another job now. It’s scary but I know I can do this!!! Thanks for the video Ingrid!!! ♥️♥️♥️
My big victory: letting go of feeling responsible for my mother's emotional well-being. It's really hard to let go of toxic people in your life when you still love and care about them, so I'm proud of myself for being able to recognize that by taking on these responsibilities I'm not helping either of us to get better. I'm glad I can finally allow myself to put down these responsibilities and move toward a healthier mindset.
I’ve been following you for years now and I just want to say your growth, authenticity, and vulnerability is so refreshing and grounding to experience on social media. So thank you for being you and creating a community that is genuine and honest 💕 Happy new decade!!!
Just the words I was looking for. Ingrid is the only 'early days' youtuber I still follow because she truly has grown and carved her own path here, bringing so much thoughtfulness and positive contribution to this space. I'm quite grateful for all her work.
This also might go unread, but I wanted to add my Big Victory for 2019 is I made it!! It’s kinda simple, but 2019 was one of the most difficult years I’ve been through. I finally started processing various experiences I had from the past that were holding back my internal healing and growth, I moved across the world, and I finished graduate school. There were so many moments were negativity, sadness, and self doubt consumed me, but... I did it! Ya biiish made it and I know this next decade is going to be amazing🎊🎊
@@TheAMP711 I love your spirit so much!! Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your victory. I feel like 2019 put me through the wringer in so many ways and I totally share your sentiment of just make it through the year. It sounds like you went through a lot this last year and you should be so proud of where you are now. It's a BIG deal! I hope this new decade brings you lots of goodness to celebrate! 💕
Ingrid Nilsen thank you sweet human! I know you know, but just want to remind you that, even though online, you have a community of people cheering you on and here to support☺️
I've been struggling with my mental health which is why I avoided social media since it made me feel bad. So it's very refreshing to see someone be this honest and vulnerable on social media. I hope 2020 brings you a lot of moments to celebrate ❤️
Congrats!! I'm a fellow med student ^_^ Med school is so hard but so rewarding when you think about how much you're learning! Hope you're practicing good self care as well
Congratulations on quitting drinking, I have done this as well years ago and Im so proud of myself. Unfortunately my father did not quit and he now has end stage cirrhosis of the liver 😢
My biggest victory of 2019 was finally realizing what unconditional love meant. The tail end of 2018 and all of 2019 has been a really challenging time for my mental health. Finally being able to ask for help, recognize that I need help and then accepting the help had me feeling both humbled and victorious. My 2020 victory and goal is to actively eliminate my external anxiety - credit card debt! Another 2020 goal/victory I want to achieve is to be more active. Thank you for this video.
My big victory last year was to wrest myself free from my own preconceptions and vision I have had for my life since I was 14. Things have been slowly changing since 2015 or 2017 depending on how you count it but in 2019 everything finally reached a breaking point and I spent the entire (the ENTIRE) summer doing the really hard work of coming to terms with the fact that my priorities are different than they used to be, the things I want for myself are different than they used to be, and that I can't keep pretending to myself OR other people that nothing's changed. I took some really huge steps towards that last year and it was a Big Victory for sure.
Thank you so much for sharing this exercise. It matters to me to acknowledge a shift I made this last year, inspired by your One Step podcast, and that was finally opening up with my counselor and most trusted friends about my greatest shame, my insomnia. I started what will likely be a long process of seeing what change I can make with it to improve my health and relationships. It also matters to me to acknowledge my Big Victory: facilitating my autistic son's transition to high school and finding our new normal. It's a transition with YEARS of work and preparation behind it, and it was really hard with many complicating factors, but we got through it, and now he's thriving and getting all A's for full credit.
My big victory is getting out of a relationship I wast a 100% happy in. I got out of a situation that was comfortable enough and definitely a safe space in order to be happier and a better version of myself. It seems scary now but I‘m sure in a few years I‘m gonna look back and now that this was a brave and right step to go
My big victory was planning and executing my best friend's bridal events (bachelorette party, bridal shower, and maid of honour speech). Event planning and public speaking are very out of my comfort zone!
I am so proud of what you have become Ingrid. You are maturing and embracing everything that comes with it. I think this direction is the testament of what a truly wonderful person you are.
The big victory I'm sharing in person is actually a different one, because my biggest victory was that I came out as trans to my friends and some of my family - but obviously they already know that, so I can't exactly re share it. But in general I'm super proud of myself for having the courage to take that step to truly live as myself and allow myself that chance at happiness. The word I chose for 2020 was "Self" because even though I took that huge step in 2019, I still did too much compromising myself and my health and happiness for the comfort of others, and I want to make that promise to myself to really prioritize me this year, and continue the journey of discovering who I really am.
I love this - thank you for sharing a piece of your story here. Bravo for stepping into your truth and giving yourself your best chance at a full, vibrant life. That is HUGE! Your word for 2020 is beautiful - the intention of honoring yourself and taking care of your needs first is so important. I'm happy to hear you're giving yourself that gift this year, it will only make life more expansive. Sending so much love your way! 💕💕
You are so eloquent in the way you speak, so soft spoken, however you do not lack in emotion with your speech. GOALS!! Celebrate you this year!! My word this year is Discipline.
My big victory: I had a baby! I became a new mom and embraced change, including not working and staying him with my baby from May to December. I loved being a stay at home mom and in 2020 I hope to love being a working mom.
My big victory was advocating for myself and seeking out a therapist! I hadn't attended any sort of counseling since early college (8 years ago) so this was a big step! My word for 2020 is FREE: freedom from the things I've been holding on to too tightly, freedom from the pain my past trauma has caused me and I'm sure many other freeing feelings I don't know about yet :)
My word for this year is "mindfulness." More specifically, working to reintegrate my mind with my body, something that I've struggled with as a result of trauma. I'm hoping to do the work to be more aware and appreciative of my body, and take ownership of it. Or at least begin to. My big victory for 2019 is letting go of toxic habits and learning to believe and accept kindness from the world and people. Love these videos, and I wish you the best of luck with your 2020 intentions! ❤️✨
Loved this video. Definitely will inspire me while doing my own intention setting. I combined two words for my year ahead because I couldn't choose and created a phrase - "bold strength". A big victory from last year? I finished 60 books! 🎉finishing those books equipped me with a lot of insights to get through a challenging rollercoaster of a year with chronic illness.
My biggest victory is overcoming some intense anxiety I was feeling toward my relationship. I wanted to leave my partner and I didn’t know why. Through deep reflection I realized it had nothing to do with him and instead it had to do with being afraid my relationship would end up like my parents (my mom committed suicide and I had a fear I’d end up doing the same.) There are plenty of other moments I could share, but this one feels like the most important one because it led me to overcome a lot of childhood traumas and grow from them.
My big victory is change. I had a lot of challenges this year and with those came great changes that I had to learn about. That be body, friendships, personal, and mental.
2019 was a really hard year for me personally. But I think my big victory was covering a national NCAA tournament final in a sport I love. I want to be a sports reporter so it felt like a big event to cover to move me towards that big career goal.
My word for 2020 is going to be Compassion = Because I want to place less emphasis on the word 'confidence'. I would like to be more confident, but struggle to understand what that means for me. I feel it would be more helpful to focus on compassion, and acting in a way the honours growing the love I have towards myself and embracing the love I have for others and their love for me. In my current headspace, love is more unconditional, then confidence is, and I want my year to reflect that.
Hi Ingrid. I did all of the exercises with you and I have shared this video with my friends. Thank you for doing the actual exercises during the video, I feel like it kept me motivated to finish it myself!
My big victory was strengthening my self love; how I speak to myself, how I see myself, how I encourage and motivate myself. Love seeing everyone’s wins, thanks as always Ingrid, this was a great video and exercise ❤️
Happy new year, Ingrid! Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing this excercise. My big victory: I started therapy. I consitently showed up and never missed an appointment. After being reluctant for so long, I found a great therapist. In our first session she said "Therapy sucks". Welp, I made a mistake, I thought. But then she explained that is hard to untangle and unravel the hurt it our life. But is through this that we can heal. I can confirm that, sometimes, it did suck. My 2019 was challenging, to say the least. But with all the changes I faced, I'm still standing. I'm a resilient woman and I'm proud of the work I put into my mental health. :)
My biggest victory : My journey of self awareness. I learnt the depth of my purpose, clarity. I learnt the power of gratitude while healing. This visceral feeling of being looked after by something powerful, as if everything is happening for a reason.
Big Victory: Getting myself out of a cycle of abusive relationships I have been in since I was 16 and finally finding my worth. Your videos are helping me find my best self - thank you.
My big victory: Teaching classes for the first time in my life, which required me to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance in doing something that scared me shitless before. I feel so proud to have made it.
My big victory is that I walked away from the "Big" job in order to focus on my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Also realizing that my career does not define who I am. It certainly took so much pressure off of me to just know that i don't have to burn my self out just to be worthy. Loved this exercise Ingrid! I look forward to celebrating even more Big Victories in 2020!
You spread such a message of positivity and enlightenment and it's truly inspiring to see! What you said about pain matching joy really hit and was very impactful for me! Thank you for continuing to be a light, Ingrid! Blessings to you for the New Year ahead!! 💛🙏🏼😚
Happy new year Ingrid! ♥️ Hope it’s the best. I think my word of the year will be “unapologetic”... I struggle with taking up any sort of space and even say sorry for saying sorry too much! lol
Thank you for this. 💕 I did it with you! I would live more videos like this where we do exercises with you! (My big victory is kind of heavy and may be triggering to some people.) My big victory is not giving up on living when I’ve definitely wanted to.
My big victory for last year is that i managed to live by myself in a foreign country, the US, a whole loooot different from my country, and out of my confort zone for two and a half months. I met a lot of people, got my first job ever, managed to succeed in it, earned some money and then traveled and seen places other people only see in pictures. This experience reassured me that even if things don' t always go according to my initial plan, i can adapt and overcome everything life will throw at me.
My big victory was going back to university after a year of severe depression and anxiety. Not only did I make it through the first semester, I got straight A’s and I feel in control of my health again!
My big victory was taking 3 bucketlist trips with my partner, family and friends. My 2020 so far has been life-changing in a not so great way, so my word is Manifest!
So so so excited to do this exercise with my girlfriend!!! ❤️ 2020 will be my year of being intentional in everything I do, how I show up for people, and how I show up for myself
This was a great excercise. It's just what I needed as i find some time to reflect and plan for the next year. I'm gonna watch this again with some coffee, candles lit and my journal. Thanks for sharing this exercise!
i think this year's word might be gumption! i see myself in one year having finished my fine arts course and hopefully having started my masters. Thank you Ingrid for the vulnerabily that you share, for all the live you send, and congratulations for all the growth. Sending love from spain and happy 2020 :)
My big victory, finally starting to learn ASL. It's been a goal for a few years now and toward the end of the year I started. It felt amazing putting a sentence together and learning more of sentence structures.
So happy to see you so happy Ingrid! Sending lots of love and support your way. My biggest victory of the year was exploring vulnerability furreal (not surface level but the super uncomfortable time) through relationships and work.
My big victory in 2019 was coming out to my dad and the rest of my family. This has been the biggest step so far in my coming out process, and it felt monumental. As I write this I am overwhelmed with how proud I am of myself. I pushed myself to be honest and authentic with myself and those around me. I lived proudly in my previous relationship and owned who I am. It was so worth it.
My big victory is that I moved country! I lived in India but I have moved to the UK! I have never lived away from home and now I’m living on my own, in a completely new country, making new and all kinds of friends! 💫
My big victory was moving to South Korea for a new job. My word for 2020 is challenge. I really want to push myself out of my comfort zone in terms of health and fitness and really push to strive this year.
My victory was committing to therapy in order to a dress issues that I had been carrying for so so long. I learned the meaning of stopping my self hatred, and that lead me to big love. My word this year is: Creation
This video was helpful for me. Many thanks. 2019 was very difficult for me on many levels. sitting down and setting my intentions for 2020 with you cheered me up and put me in a better headspace then when I sat down. Also I love your IGTV videos 🖤
Big victory: committing to my relationship, growing together, facing challenges together and envisioning the future together. It culminated in an engagement, and I feel extremely grateful to have had this beautiful fascinating chance of spending my life with this person.
Hello Ingrid, this might be weird to share online but I remember discovering you in 2017 and I felt something like you were not honest and like you were hiding something. You are not the first person this happened to me. Recently I discovered your podcast and I learned more about you and you finally showed your real self that I am so proud how far you come. Sorry if I couldn't be a loyal subscriber. I tend to unsubscribe many youtube channels as a detox. I am glad to resubscribe to your channel knowing you and I are trying to improve ourselves to become a better and to learn more. So thank you for being honest. I look forward to follow the journey of self -growth.
i loved this exercise. would love to do it myself 💕 big victory of mine: slowly but surely i am being more comfortable with opening up to others, and meeting new people and conversing with them as i tend to be very "shy", very reserved so i am quite happy for that! #newfriends i am really looking forward to all the incredible changes that i feel coming this year :)
Wow, I’m learning so much about you that I either took for granted or assumed. This is a great process. Wondering what your thoughts on physically writing down your intentions versus typing them up. Or, say now with smart phones, saving on your phone and updating there?
This video resonated with me so well! I love your intention driven approach to start off 2020 and have adopted a similar approach. My 2019 victory was prioritizing myself by starting therapy.
Ingrid Nilsen Celebrate is such a good word for this year! We definitely have a lot to celebrate this year since we’re welcoming our first baby into the world and buying our first house! My word for the year is “positivity” since I’m trying to kick my mental health in the ass and cultivate a more positive mindset! Hopefully this will be the year of hitting 15k on CZcams too 🤞🏻
My big victory: start the publishing process is my first book! Ingrid! You have been such a great inspiration to me as a gay woman of color. You have helped me so much over the years. Watching you on CZcams gave me the strength to come out as a lesbian to my family in 2017. I have thus turned my life around and now I’m living my own truth! I’m most proud of finally wiring my memoir (Between Many Colors) and getting it published! Thank you so much for being this community together 💕😊🏳️🌈 jppadillawriter.com/books/
My big victory: leaving relationships that weren't right for me and having the strength and courage to be okay with being single.
Wow! This is so huge. Congrats on making such a significant shift and ultimately, choosing to love yourself just as you are. 💕
My husband and I paid off $72,000 of debt this year!! I am so proud to say we are debt free. It took a lot of hard changes but we are so happy because of the changes we made. We are literally starting our lives over but I hope we can teach our kids that going into debt to keep up with everybody else will never make them happy ❤️ I have loved your content this year. Keep going. You are doing amazing things.
My big victory is graduating college after 8 long years of challenging times and obstacles! I kept persevering and kept the faith that one day I would finish and move on to bigger and better things! ✨
My big victory is learning to say NO to people and to things I don’t want to do🎉
Isn't it strange how most of us girls are never taught that? Even Jennifer Lawrence, a very confident and successful woman, said she's still learning she doesn't have to smile when a man makes her uncomfortable. And saying no? Even harder when you're conditioned to always smile and agree.
Awesome that you've learned :) Congrats!!
My big victory is completing intensive outpatient for my anxiety and eating disorder 🙌🙌 I also fell in love with my girlfriend 💚💙
My big victory is finally having the courage to leave my workplace where I had spent 5 years working, getting out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there to find another job now. It’s scary but I know I can do this!!! Thanks for the video Ingrid!!! ♥️♥️♥️
My big victory: I have been the stongest, in my worst time. It was a year of hardships and suffering, but I kept through everything.
My big victory: letting go of feeling responsible for my mother's emotional well-being. It's really hard to let go of toxic people in your life when you still love and care about them, so I'm proud of myself for being able to recognize that by taking on these responsibilities I'm not helping either of us to get better. I'm glad I can finally allow myself to put down these responsibilities and move toward a healthier mindset.
I’ve been following you for years now and I just want to say your growth, authenticity, and vulnerability is so refreshing and grounding to experience on social media.
So thank you for being you and creating a community that is genuine and honest 💕
Happy new decade!!!
What he said!
Just the words I was looking for. Ingrid is the only 'early days' youtuber I still follow because she truly has grown and carved her own path here, bringing so much thoughtfulness and positive contribution to this space. I'm quite grateful for all her work.
This also might go unread, but I wanted to add my Big Victory for 2019 is I made it!!

I've been struggling with my mental health which is why I avoided social media since it made me feel bad. So it's very refreshing to see someone be this honest and vulnerable on social media. I hope 2020 brings you a lot of moments to celebrate ❤️
My big victory was that i graduated as an architect! Watching your videos from Argentina. Have a great year!
I got into medical school! And am not failing out so far. : )
Congrats!! I'm a fellow med student ^_^ Med school is so hard but so rewarding when you think about how much you're learning! Hope you're practicing good self care as well
I’m so glad you did this. This was such a great exercise. My big victory was quitting drinking!
My partner quit drinking. She had a horrible drinking addiction for ten years. I am so proud of you!!!
Congratulations on quitting drinking, I have done this as well years ago and Im so proud of myself. Unfortunately my father did not quit and he now has end stage cirrhosis of the liver 😢

@@recovering.with.rachel Thank you! I really appreciate it! Congrats to your partner :)
@@mirandah6348 thank you so much 🤗
Big victory: Learning to live on my own again after going through a divorce.
Can you please share what you learn re: stocks/bonds/investments? Thanks for sharing this!

My word this year is Discipline.
My big victory: I had a baby! I became a new mom and embraced change, including not working and staying him with my baby from May to December. I loved being a stay at home mom and in 2020 I hope to love being a working mom.
My big victory was advocating for myself and seeking out a therapist! I hadn't attended any sort of counseling since early college (8 years ago) so this was a big step!

Loved this video. Definitely will inspire me while doing my own intention setting. I combined two words for my year ahead because I couldn't choose and created a phrase - "bold strength". A big victory from last year? I finished 60 books! 🎉finishing those books equipped me with a lot of insights to get through a challenging rollercoaster of a year with chronic illness.
My biggest victory is overcoming some intense anxiety I was feeling toward my relationship. I wanted to leave my partner and I didn’t know why.

There are plenty of other moments I could share, but this one feels like the most important one because it led me to overcome a lot of childhood traumas and grow from them.
Big victory: I graduated college, and a year early too!
My big victory is change. I had a lot of challenges this year and with those came great changes that I had to learn about. That be body, friendships, personal, and mental.
my big victory: forming a band, recording and releasing my music out into the world!
2019 was a really hard year for me personally. But I think my big victory was covering a national NCAA tournament final in a sport I love. I want to be a sports reporter so it felt like a big event to cover to move me towards that big career goal.
My word for 2020 is going to be Compassion = Because I want to place less emphasis on the word 'confidence'. I would like to be more confident, but struggle to understand what that means for me. I feel it would be more helpful to focus on compassion, and acting in a way the honours growing the love I have towards myself and embracing the love I have for others and their love for me. In my current headspace, love is more unconditional, then confidence is, and I want my year to reflect that.
Hi Ingrid. I did all of the exercises with you and I have shared this video with my friends. Thank you for doing the actual exercises during the video, I feel like it kept me motivated to finish it myself!
My big victory was strengthening my self love; how I speak to myself, how I see myself, how I encourage and motivate myself. Love seeing everyone’s wins, thanks as always Ingrid, this was a great video and exercise ❤️
Happy new year, Ingrid!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing this excercise.

I hope you’re having an amazing start to your 2020 Ingrid! Seeing your videos always makes my day 💜
My big victory for 2019 was starting to understand food and being able to become more healthy and lose weight as a result.
My biggest victory : My journey of self awareness. I learnt the depth of my purpose, clarity. I learnt the power of gratitude while healing. This visceral feeling of being looked after by something powerful, as if everything is happening for a reason.
What a beautiful way to start the year with intention. My word of the year: RESILIENCE 🙏🏼💛
Big victory: positive and accepting attitude towards challenges and hardships

It certainly took so much pressure off of me to just know that i don't have to burn my self out just to be worthy. Loved this exercise Ingrid! I look forward to celebrating even more Big Victories in 2020!
You spread such a message of positivity and enlightenment and it's truly inspiring to see! What you said about pain matching joy really hit and was very impactful for me! Thank you for continuing to be a light, Ingrid! Blessings to you for the New Year ahead!! 💛🙏🏼😚
Happy new year Ingrid! ♥️ Hope it’s the best. I think my word of the year will be “unapologetic”... I struggle with taking up any sort of space and even say sorry for saying sorry too much! lol
Thank you for this. 💕 I did it with you! I would live more videos like this where we do exercises with you!
(My big victory is kind of heavy and may be triggering to some people.)
My big victory is not giving up on living when I’ve definitely wanted to.
Thank you for sharing this excercise! 😊
My big victory for last year is that i managed to live by myself in a foreign country, the US, a whole loooot different from my country, and out of my confort zone for two and a half months. I met a lot of people, got my first job ever, managed to succeed in it, earned some money and then traveled and seen places other people only see in pictures. This experience reassured me that even if things don' t always go according to my initial plan, i can adapt and overcome everything life will throw at me.
My big victory was going back to university after a year of severe depression and anxiety. Not only did I make it through the first semester, I got straight A’s and I feel in control of my health again!
My big victory was taking 3 bucketlist trips with my partner, family and friends. My 2020 so far has been life-changing in a not so great way, so my word is Manifest!
Wishing you all the love and happiness for 2020 ❤️
Love this! My big victory was finding myself more at home with my everyday life and being grateful for it ❤️
So so so excited to do this exercise with my girlfriend!!! ❤️ 2020 will be my year of being intentional in everything I do, how I show up for people, and how I show up for myself
This was a great excercise. It's just what I needed as i find some time to reflect and plan for the next year. I'm gonna watch this again with some coffee, candles lit and my journal. Thanks for sharing this exercise!
i think this year's word might be gumption! i see myself in one year having finished my fine arts course and hopefully having started my masters. Thank you Ingrid for the vulnerabily that you share, for all the live you send, and congratulations for all the growth. Sending love from spain and happy 2020 :)
LOVE!
It’s 2022 and I still come back to this
My big victory, finally starting to learn ASL. It's been a goal for a few years now and toward the end of the year I started. It felt amazing putting a sentence together and learning more of sentence structures.
My word of the year is Bravery and my big victory of 2019 was getting my master's degree and landing a job before I graduated!
Setting intentions is SO important, thanks for sharing Ingrid!
So happy to see you so happy Ingrid! Sending lots of love and support your way. My biggest victory of the year was exploring vulnerability furreal (not surface level but the super uncomfortable time) through relationships and work.
My big victory in 2019 was coming out to my dad and the rest of my family. This has been the biggest step so far in my coming out process, and it felt monumental. As I write this I am overwhelmed with how proud I am of myself. I pushed myself to be honest and authentic with myself and those around me. I lived proudly in my previous relationship and owned who I am. It was so worth it.
My big victory is that I moved country! I lived in India but I have moved to the UK! I have never lived away from home and now I’m living on my own, in a completely new country, making new and all kinds of friends! 💫
My big victory was moving to South Korea for a new job.
My word for 2020 is challenge. I really want to push myself out of my comfort zone in terms of health and fitness and really push to strive this year.
I quit a job that didn’t fulfill me and got another one in just one week. I recognized what I wanted (ONLY what I wanted) and I went out and GOT IT. 😊
doing this exercise calmed me down so much i cant even put it into words. thank you. i needed this.
You have the shiniest hair I’ve ever seen 😍👏🏻🙌🏼
You look so happy and glowing 💖
Love you so much Ingrid!! New decade NO PRESSURE 😂😂
I loved this so much
My victory was committing to therapy in order to a dress issues that I had been carrying for so so long. I learned the meaning of stopping my self hatred, and that lead me to big love.
My word this year is: Creation
This video was helpful for me. Many thanks. 2019 was very difficult for me on many levels.
sitting down and setting my intentions for 2020 with you cheered me up and put me in a better headspace then when I sat down. Also I love your IGTV videos 🖤
Big victory: committing to my relationship, growing together, facing challenges together and envisioning the future together. It culminated in an engagement, and I feel extremely grateful to have had this beautiful fascinating chance of spending my life with this person.
I keep seeing you wear this sweater in different posts and it’s so cute, where is it from?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and plans. So inspiring!
I also chose celebrate as my word for 2020!!
Hello Ingrid, this might be weird to share online but I remember discovering you in 2017 and I felt something like you were not honest and like you were hiding something. You are not the first person this happened to me. Recently I discovered your podcast and I learned more about you and you finally showed your real self that I am so proud how far you come. Sorry if I couldn't be a loyal subscriber. I tend to unsubscribe many youtube channels as a detox. I am glad to resubscribe to your channel knowing you and I are trying to improve ourselves to become a better and to learn more. So thank you for being honest. I look forward to follow the journey of self -growth.
i loved this exercise. would love to do it myself 💕 big victory of mine: slowly but surely i am being more comfortable with opening up to others, and meeting new people and conversing with them as i tend to be very "shy", very reserved so i am quite happy for that! #newfriends i am really looking forward to all the incredible changes that i feel coming this year :)
Big victory: Travelling on my own for the first time! I went to Japan for a month and it was one of the best experiences of my life 😊
Thanks for sharing your podcast can't wait to listen!!! Your such an inspiration.
Written these down to do as morning page prompts so I can think about them when I'm feeling vulnerable and reflect properly :)
This made me genueliy smile and happy for you!!
Wow, I’m learning so much about you that I either took for granted or assumed.
This is a great process. Wondering what your thoughts on physically writing down your intentions versus typing them up. Or, say now with smart phones, saving on your phone and updating there?
Still coming back to this vid ❤
thank you for leaving the videos up...re-watching to set my 2021 intentions :)
Happy new year Ingrid!❤️
This video resonated with me so well! I love your intention driven approach to start off 2020 and have adopted a similar approach.
My 2019 victory was prioritizing myself by starting therapy.
Aw happy new year Ingrid!
Happy new year!!
Ingrid Nilsen Celebrate is such a good word for this year! We definitely have a lot to celebrate this year since we’re welcoming our first baby into the world and buying our first house! My word for the year is “positivity” since I’m trying to kick my mental health in the ass and cultivate a more positive mindset! Hopefully this will be the year of hitting 15k on CZcams too 🤞🏻
I love your hair ingrid
It really does!!! 🙌🏼😻
Watching this as we move in 2021 and I hope you were able to *celebrate* 2020 with its many ups and downs, everyone :)
My word of the year is empowerment :)
Big victory this year was proposing to my fiance!!!!!!!!
My big victory: coming out to a largely supportive community of family and friends!
My big victory: start the publishing process is my first book!
Ingrid! You have been such a great inspiration to me as a gay woman of color. You have helped me so much over the years. Watching you on CZcams gave me the strength to come out as a lesbian to my family in 2017. I have thus turned my life around and now I’m living my own truth! I’m most proud of finally wiring my memoir (Between Many Colors) and getting it published! Thank you so much for being this community together 💕😊🏳️🌈
