Deep chat was so refreshing…and so relatable. I think we hit our mid-thirties and we realise we are EXHAUSTED. We tie so much of our identity to our jobs and I know for me, I’m like how much longer do I need to do this and is this actually meaningful…? Life is short, follow your heart.
I thought it was just me! Why are we so TIRED!? I agree life is short and if she wants to pick up and change everything I say DO IT! If you want to film it, we'll be here ams if you don't we wish you all the very best❤
Victoria you’re so lovely. I enjoy watching your content. I feel as if I know you through your videos. The meaning of life is to love one another and to enjoy one another. I believe in God and family. When you spend time doing for others and sharing with your family, you will feel fulfilled. Sounds like God is tapping on your shoulder and telling you he is the meaning of life. I adore your heart and I know you are a beautiful human.
@@VictoriaMagrathYou must visit the Isles of Scilly where I live on your next trips down to Cornwall I think you’ll love it. Cornwall is beautiful isn’t it I feel blessed every day 🙏
I think that it makes sense to think about what sort of second career you might want to move in to - you are multi-talented. It’s mentally healthy to reflect.
Over the last several months I have gotten the definite feeling that you are no longer enjoying the whole social media lifestyle and that you would love the idea of another career out of the social media spotlight … this video only confirms this … the way you light up when speaking of Cornwall and a different lifestyle there … you are so talented ….. you should pursue it!!❤
Hi Vic! Nothing wrong with reinventing yourself 😊. Doesn’t need to be stressful. I’ve uprooted everything and moved to Costa Rica with a five month old baby because I needed to be closer to the ocean. Then 5 years later when my girl was ready to start school I did it again and moved to New York City. You can live this one life we have ANYWAY YOU WANT. There are no rules but the ones we put on ourselves. Girl, you are free ❤❤❤❤❤
The point of life is to do what makes you happy. And it’s so strange to see someone who you think has a perfect life, absolute goals, has doubts like this… it just shows you that no one’s life is perfect even though you think it is. You are doing amazing girl, you are goals for soooo many women! I literally aspire to be like you ❤
Vic, I am a Life Coach and a Healer and I'll tell you one thing from my decade long practice- what you're experiencing is the most natural progression to the next big chapter of your life. It's the chaos before the calm. When we love our careers too much, we centre our life around it and for the longest time it drives us and sparks a ton of joy in us. Once that's done and dusted, it's time for us to move forward to another chapter which is finding balance because we now have the means to find balance. So that's the phase you're in. I can feel you sister because that's the phase I'm in too.

You’re a phenomenal vlogger Victoria, I see bigger things for you that have nothing to do with being a content creator. Especially knowing how incredibly intelligent you are and the degree you have. I could see you being a professor at a university or someone who gives lectures on specific topics at university’s. Your intelligence is one of my favorite parts of you. Along with your kind caring personality. 💖🌷
Enjoying life is not enough Victoria, you have to expand your consciousness. Your questions makes sense and it's a good sign you are asking about the sense of life. I've been trough this years ago and the answers that I found make me live better and happier.
There is pressure to look a certain way, to be a certain only if you allow it. What I find truly inspiring are the people who embrace their authentic selves without pretending to be anyone else x
Love your deep chats Victoria - always remember ref slowing down & acquiring more balance in your life does not have to be to the detriment of your career. When we are young & building a career we do think I have to work work work, take all opportunities & never say no to anything. This is true to an extent, but really we get older, wiser & realise we can have much more in our lives other than work & still have our careers. You & Alex are obvs very successful & as Ihave commented before under your vlogs the fact that your oldest friends remain v. much in your lives says alot about you both. What a couple I say!!
I always start to feel like this after my birthday too. You get Conscious of being another year older and where is your life going. I’m mid 30s too and often feel under pressure to keep up . It’s a normal feeling, also life is too short… If your gut says move to Cornwall just do it. X
I completely understand your feelings and I agree to an extent that life is about enjoyment. As I get older, I find myself also feeling a strong desire to help others. I realised I’m so immensely privileged and there are people in my own community, or far away in other countries, really struggling. I’ve found that this kind of hard work satisfies both my mind and soul. I know you already do a lot for your community and you’re not one to boast about the charity work you do. My recommendation is to maybe try a hands-on service type just every so often and see if that adds anything to your life and helps nourish your soul too. It's just something I've found a lot of reward in in terms of quality of life. Anyway, you're always such a pleasure to watch and I hope you find what you need soon💛💛
Hello Victoria. Perhaps the slight slowing up is simply allowing yourself to ‘consider’ other possibilities and even in ‘considering’ there does not need to be a time limit placed or a pressure or a judgment place upon you either. Said in love and respect for you both xxx
I always imagined that being an content creator a limited series run. Like a tv show that you love, once they get to about season 10 they've explored all the ideas possible. They bring that show to a close and then go work on other projects. It's a very natural progression.
Do what makes you happy. We moved to Cornwall 13 years ago. Apart from getting our dog and getting married, best thing we ever did. It’s not a rehearsal. Enjoy while you can. Big love xx ❤
We can't all climb Mt. Everest or be an Olympian. We are all special in our own way. Where you are now is where you are meant to be. It is a stage of your life. It may be uncomfortable, but you have Alex to lean on and he thinks you're perfect and that is all that matters! Gratitude is the key. I know you are already grateful, but when I REALLY dig into my gratitude, that is when I find my mind is peaceful. XO
It‘s that age. I am 36. if i would not have had a baby 2 years ago, I would be so lost. Of course children are not for all and if you are unhappy they don‘t make you happier, but being a mother and having the responsibility for another human being definitely helped me find my purpose and a direction in life, I never found in jobs.
Totally agree being a mother gives me a purpose in life. It’s definitely not an easy job and the biggest responsibility any human being can have but there’s a satisfying feeling and emotions you get that you never get with anything else.
Totally normal Vic. We all get it. It’s the pressure of there being one life and making sure you’re doing it right. And I think the older we get we realise that might not mean more more more, but maybe less? sending love xx
Absolutely. I feel like that feeling only becomes more and more prevalent as you get older, obviously. and ensuring you’re living this short life to the fullest. But does anyone ever reach utter fulfilment, I wonder? Or do we only strive for it. I’m so unsure haha xx
@@VictoriaMagrath I've found that this is THE question, and I think it's why a lot of women end up having children. As a woman who held steadfast to my conviction that kids aren't a part of my journey, and the trappings of typical life hold less and less meaningfulness to my soul with each passing day, I've begun to realize that utter fulfillment can only come from Within. Easier said than done, oh how I know. Lean in to the self-reflection that's bubbling up inside you, practice just sitting with the discomfort of empty moments and I promise you'll find that the discomfort gradually fades away until you become content to just BE, without all the doing. It's in that quiet, that stillness, where you'll start to find glimmers of lasting fulfillment. The inner urging to be near the sea is a sign you're heading in the right direction, I've always found it to be a carrier of peace.
@@dianejaneclaytonthis is so beautifully said. I’m 37, can relate fully and many similar reflections with only one difference, I do want the kids with the right person
@@VictoriaMagrathI found utter fulfilment is something you’d constantly need to be working on anyway, we are only human, our emotions change day to day. Allowing yourself some grace, time to stop and reflect is important, however, is very much a luxury in the current work/life environment. Helping others, searching and hopefully finding God and faith and leaning into it for the answers, being kind are all the things that should bring a feeling of peace ❤ however, perhaps I’m misunderstanding what fulfilment means for you, must be different for all. It does seem though that a lot of us are simply searching to escape the constant anxiety and find peace and balance in our daily lives
@@rulond1440 given the inner journey you've clearly been on, I have no doubt your soul is letting Consciousness know you're ready, and that's when I've always found It comes through! All my best wishes on what's to come :)
"I spent an hour and a half tidying up everything properly in Alex's closet" I was waiting for the montage cutoff to Alex's voice going "and now I can't find anything!" 😂😂
I am actually glad to hear you talk about slowing down. You have been working and traveling for so long. When you work as hard as you and Alex do, isent that the reason? So you will have a better future, do more things that you want to do? Take it from me, I am a lot older, but tmrw is not a given, things can change in an instant and you don’t want to regret not getting to do things that you say “one day I would like to”. Do it girl, you need some play time too! ❤
Your lives are full of seeking out objects, judging these objects, embracing or abandoning the objects then starting the whole process again. All this while having to look perfect and seeking out ways to look more perfect. No wonder you are feeling that way. I enjoy your channel and admire your work ethics and wish only the best for your futures.
I moved to a place that we holidayed in over 9 years ago. I don’t regret a single thing but I wish someone had advised me to spend a week here in the winter when it was quiet, cold and nothing was open … it certainly tested my resolve to live in this beautiful place. Holidaying somewhere is totally different to living there … you need to try it at its worst as well as its best before you make the leap. That said … no regrets here!!! ❤❤
It's the dreaded big birthday funk! I've been there, for sure, I remember 29 being particularly hard - I just feel a lot of pressure to be more, do more, and I get really self-critical and dissatisfied with myself which also leads me to feel like I need to rethink myself entirely as a person... It's rough. I think some of the self-reflection can be useful, but mostly I think it's useless, baseless pressure that keeps me from enjoying me.
I don’t think you’re in a funk, you’re just experiencing the ebbs and flows of life. It’s wonderful to think about the future but the future only exists in your mind. All you have is the present. Observe your thoughts, don’t judge them, don’t be tricked into thinking your thoughts are who you are. If we all based ourselves on our thoughts we’d be in a continual funk, because let’s be honest, most of our thoughts about ourselves are highly negative. Humans are a particular species, our minds can literally make us sick. I LOVE your dream, and forget the rat race. Stay present, be the watcher of your mind, and do what fills your cup because literally all we have is now ❤
Love your honesty, Victoria. I find myself reflecting around my birthdays as well. Lately, I've started to journal, which helps me find clarity about the bigger picture. It's lovely that you're slowing down. Sometimes, it's the simple things in life that mean the most. Follow your heart and dream big. It's all waiting for you!
I really feel as others have said that true happiness and peace comes from seeing how you can help others - it’s not enough just to do stuff that makes you happy as eventually it will be less and less rewarding👍🏼
Dear Vic, watching and mostly feeling you go deep as you are going about your thoughts and wondering, how much of that is so humble and honest brings me to a state of euphoria and awareness that is beautiful to experience. I feel this very often with myself and others around me but being able to feel it through a screen (yes, there's a screen and miles of distance between the bodies we inhabit 😊) and feel it vicariously for you is precious. It tells me about a deep connection that exists between all of us. This was one of my favourite vlogs this year. Thank you. May you be. ✨🤍✨
100% a reflection we all go through. I have found contentment only comes from within and so this is the place to start, often with a spiritual axis to guide that self enquiry. No civilization has ever not had a tradition/religion/spiritual tendency and in the West we have lost it and in the process lost ourselves. Platonism would be my recommendation of where to begin.
It's natural to have dips in confidence and question life from time to time. Our perception of success changes as we get older, when we're first starting out it's all about impressing people and getting "up the ladder", then life happens and success becomes about finding a balance between career and home and I have no idea what comes next because I'm not there yet 😂 but I know it will change because life changes you, how boring would it be if it didn't xx
The purpose of life is different for everyone and it depends a lot on timing..for me it was having a baby BUT not loosing myself, my life, my hobbies, travels and friends. Happy to report it is possible with the right partner. Just do whatever makes you feel more.
Victoria I wrote this poem this week... The Open Road Sometimes, I yearn to quit everything, turn my life on its head, hit the open road, meet new faces, places, start afresh, renew, observe all, in hyper focus, embrace novelty, tune to nature, work with my hands, turn off mind, brain, live silently, simply, without distractions, relish the me of this moment, forget familial relations, expectations, preconceptions, responsibilities, demands, all past versions of myself give up, finally, forever, always, endlessly existing, being the one who does the right thing.
Perhaps you’re not in a funk. Perhaps you’ve finally got the clarity (or on the way to obtaining the clarity) that you want/ need. It’s exciting Victoria…get uncomfortable with these things, it’s the best thing! ❤
Dear Victoria, First things first, I also clean out and organize my partners' closets. I can't stand the mess (I organize by type and colour). I love doing it, and he really appreciates it :) Secondly, thanks for sharing your thoughts at the end of this video. I'm 41, I have moved countries twice and I still have those thoughts. They can be painful and uncomfortable, however, they always lead me to something great in the end. It's like going to the gym, when your muscles grow its uncomfortable, I think its the same with our souls
At 56 I've probably felt 'lost' most of my life and as a youngster I travelled & worked abroad aged 20-26yrs old. i lived with someone until 32 and unfortunately gave up on ever having a loving relationship since. Im really very troubled at the mo, probably with the issues we are having in the UK. So not sure if its the energy of the schumann resonance or just the need to move somewhere nicer than where i am now..But, yes.. i can imagine how you are feeling.. To feed your soul with nourishment, where mine is just tired and I need time out🌹XX
I feel you, was having the same conversation with my hubby. Must be something in the air😂 Try and not compare yourself with others, I know it’s hard with social media. You are a beautiful person inside and out and love watching you and Alex ❤
I think if you have found a place that just seems to feed your soul, you should absolutely consider moving there......of course, recognizing that it's not just the feeling of being on vacation, but actually living there. Being by the sea is so calming, and exciting. I used to live in downtown Vancouver and I absolutely loved being on the seawall, even if it was stormy. I would love to visit Cornwall one day, it looks so lovely. You definitely are making sense! It's so natural at certain points in life, to acknowledge changes need to be made, be it embracing hobbies or interests that help to make you feel more fulfilled, or a more major change like a move......
You are amazing just the way you are , and a funk is fine , but continue to be being you . No pressure this end just love watching you . ❤ casual , dolled up , ups and downs love it all it makes you so relatable xx ❤❤
You are in a "funk" , because you are intelligent and have empathy. You are also very self aware and reflective. I think you "nailed it" when you talked about the pressures of being on youtube/insta etc., especially on a woman. You are EXPECTED to do such & such and be a certain way--always. It would be daunting for anyone. Plus you have achieved a lot of your "to do list" in life. You are maturing on top of it all. None of how you are or how you are thinking is a bad thing. Nor does it mean you are in a bad place. Just means that life is not static, and you may be headed in a different direction. As long as you are healthy and surrounded by those you love on that new adventure that is the main thing:). Cut yourself some slack Victoria, you have done well, you will always do well---no matter what you DO. Take some pressure off, you are after all , only HUMAN.
You could get an astrology birth chart reading. I got one recently and it really helped me refocus and it gave me reassurance that I’m not lost! Your north node is your karmic path 💫
There is nothing wrong with thinking about your life and where you want it to head, that’s called being human and moving forward, even if it’s 5-10 even 20 years away it’s a goal and that is brilliant.. never question your self about moving in a different direction.. we all change and our aspirations change.. it’s a natural progression ❤❤❤
Hi Victoria, my favourite saying is by Dr. Seuss, “ Be who you are say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” .You and Alex need to keep your mind and body healthy on whatever decisions you make. 🥰🇨🇦❤️
I’ve been in a funk for over a year and had the worst writer’s block of the century and you know what got rid of it instantly? A WHOLE NEW RESTRUCTURING of my work out routine with my most amazing personal trainer ❤ It’s like my life was clogged for a while and suddenly by changing things up, me and my trainer are aiming to get me more snatched, has suddenly opened the flood gates of creativity and I AM WRITING AGAIN😭 And I absolutely get you with the whole Cornwall thing, I have that vision too, just need to see where exactly lol But I am so happy you feel that way with Cornwall, maybe you have this deep desire to set roots and Cornwall seems to give you that 🥰
I was having the same chat with a friend of mine recently and we are both alot older than you. It can maybe be a way of your 'gut' reminding you not just to do what youve always done and to explore other interests. Everything is part of the journey we are all on. Have no regrets but also remember... Not to wish you'd have done something or wish you hadn't. That has been a bit of a revelation for me. I'm on a similar path ❤
Hi Victoria, I've never been to Cornwall, but a few years back, I discovered Doc Martin and I fell in love with Cornwall. I love it so much. I watch Doc martin in loop. The coast line, the moors, all of it. It's just the most beautiful place. I hope to visit one day. I hope you move there. I think it's a but of paradise. I live on the coast of oregon, the Central Coast. I love it here so much, but Cornwall has so much charm. I love the striped pottery, too. If alex takes pottery lessons, he may make you a couple of coffee mugs.❤❤❤
Whenever I have been in a true funk it was because I needed a change in course. After one deep funk, I went back to school and got my degree. A bit extreme but listen to your heart!
The purpose life is to Love God, Love others and Love ourselves. All three are needed for a happy, purposeful life. I have some old Christmas themed converse that I only wear a few times a year
So much love for you, Victoria! We want you to follow your heart & do what makes you happy ❤️ I look up to you so much, I’m turning 28 this summer and have been navigating similar feelings this past year. It can be tough, but I’m trying to trust the journey! Xx
When you mentioned watermelon and Costa Rica, I had to share - watermelon there tastes 10x better than it does here in the States. I felt like I was lied to my entire life when I tried watermelon in Costa Rica because the flavor was insane! We loved Costa Rica when we went. Saw so many animals including sea turtles, sloths, agoutis, macaws, toucans, and anteaters.
Could not relate to the water melon chat more😂 🙌 , well done on cutting up the whole thing, I need to learn from this as a fellow “can’t be arsed to chop up the whole thing” person😅❤
Totally relatable deep chat and I'm 10years older and feel the same lack lustre and annoyed at life as I feel the vast majority of us live to work so we can just survive which im very much sure there's more to life. The feeling you have for Cornwall is exactly the same that I feel when leaving Harris in the outer hebs, truely truely feel alive and so at peace when I'm there. We'll work through it I'm sure love to you both x
Vic, as someone that wants to live many lives and experience everything... my advice to you is just go do it! Move... spend the money, if you fail so what... if it works out, Yay. Its a longing in you that shouldnt be squashed, you'll regret you waited so long. Do it, rent a place in Cornwall for 6months & see what layers of yourself you uncover and fall in love with parts of you you never knew existed. Sending love! xx
Maybe getting comfortable with not knowing .. say to yourself im not sure where i want to live but in due time i’ll know. There’s no right or wrong, instead of going for a drastic change, go to Cornwall more often, follow what you are feeling in the moment, and small changes to your life will have a big change in due time!
Great video, it will all come to you and you will make the right decision for you and your family, I think it’s a normal feeling and that’s what made our family move from England to Florida and get out of the corporate world and run our own lives, we haven’t looked back since 12 years on. On another note if you are planning on going to Costa Rica you have to stay at Nayara Tented Camp I sent you it when we stayed there last year it’s absolutely amazing! We had our own fire pit, hot spring and whole living room overlooking the volcano! You would absolutely love it. Same level as Jade Mountain.
Please be kind to yourself. No harshness to self. You will have a break through because there isn’t really ever a breakdown ~ just a space created to break through and give space to shake off an old coat that doesn’t feel right to you and give space to consider what will feel right. Being perhaps uncomfortable is showing you that change , even slow change is occurring and it’s a process that you are in control of and you get to decide what fits and when. Xxx YOU haven’t gone through all this , put in all this work to put pressure onto yourself now , perhaps instead your could instil praise and celebrate all that you have done so far , and any change will happen because you will be ready for it. You are very capable, ask those around you , with or without your beautiful make up and clothes, please know this love xxx
I think that success comes and so does more pressure that you put on yourselves I spoke of this recently to my daughter and son in law Remember to breathe the life your living not just the work If your really happy with what your doing carry on but if your not change Don’t run into something that’s not you Age changes you
Totally empathise with your self doubt! I am 36 and child free by choice. So much of what you said towards the end of the video is EXACTLY what I have been feeling. As strange as this sounds, its nice to hear someone else vocalise this and be comfortable with the uncomfortable-ness (is that a word?!) of it all. Thanks for this. Happy birthday for last week!! 💜💜💜💜
You do make sense, and I’m glad you share this! One path is not a final path, the self doubt is popping up because your ‘true’ path is not being followed atm. I happen to be in the exact same position, going from a director of a commercial company to a complete different carrier and lifestyle. I quitted this job! I can’t even believe I did. But it was not furfilling anymore, I lost energy instead of gaining it, on a daily basis. So I changed my whole life, I had to. Very intriguing, very scary, but so damn rewarding! I’ll find my new path, and have no clue what that is yet 😅 But the reward is in allowing for yourself to make that change ❤ and not for anybody else. Because nobody else will do it for you. Good luck beautiful woman!
@victoria go to a surfing. Leaving all on the water. Be in the present on your trip and it will allow you to calmness to make focused decisions. We #followers follow by choice, remember that. It’s because we relate to you. ❤
Spanish girl here! For the Spanish omelette one of the tips is fry onion with potato low heat until it’s all golden. Strain it and add it to the egg. Chefs kiss. You can also add peppers to the concoction!!
I totally get your life chat Victoria, I completely relate to it, in terms of being in a funk. My circs are vey different to yours in terms of upbringing and opportunities in life specifically the working world. I currently do a job which is a means to an end and I find quite difficult at times due to its nature. Not making excuses at all but I have not been able to truly live my dream due to caring responsibilities and feel somewhat that I have missed out and not where I am supposed to be in life, in terms of the real me. I feel like there is not enough lifetime, years, days, hours to do all that we would like to do in life. I try and enjoy life through little creative hobbies and projects but it's not quite the same and when it boils down to it what is true contentment and happiness. Not material goods as so many seem to think but being surrounded by people who love you, sharing the highs and lows and finding joy in things that are meaningful, like a walk on the beach, a great coffee, growing or making things. This applies to you and you and Alex together. I suppose what I am trying to say is that maybe you need to listen to the voice in your head, your inner gut feeling is a true indicator of what is right for you. Maybe not changing things drastically in the immediate future but working towards that change, and if it is to live in Cornwall, it will either satiate that desire or not, in which case maybe its a change up of something else that is required. You are so hardworking and whilst you can and are able to make these changes, I would say do them. From a fellow funker who loves your vlogs, honesty and realness. 🤗😊 xx
Oh love, totally get it with the life questions. It’s so difficult sometimes to figure out what you want….. we definitely all have those times. You’ll figure it out when you’re ready ❤
I think testing ourself and pushing our limits sometimes helps us find a new purpose. 😊 we grow as a person when we are challenged or try something spontaneous.
Ah big life questions? I get it totally! I’m quite a bit older Victoria, and my husband and I are now searching for our home by a lake! Time to slow down for us! Hard to know when is the exact right time, follow your heart and soul. You will know. You looked gorgeous in this vlog🥰
I agree with earlier comment, when you do for others it is very fulfilling. With your current way of life it is lovely but doing a job where others are main priority is rewarding. Money may not be anywhere what you earn bur mind and body will he more restful xx
Good evening Victoria babe I hope you Alex and boe are well it's so lovely to see you again thanks so much for sharing your wonderful vlog take great care babes❤❤❤❤
I’m feeling exactly the same I’m hoping it passes as I’ve also wanted to throw my whole life upside down and change everything I’m hoping it’s just the age that we’re at and I can find a more content happier place soon
Im 35 and dont want children and in a similar life funk the path isnt obvious but think you have to ride what’s happening and take opportunities and what feels right
Thanks for being so honest Victoria - I think it's relatable and also why I watch your vlogs, because you're a human not some perfect ideal of a human. I think funks come and go and I have found as someone in a child-free relationship there can be an existential question in the mid-thirties that people with children don't get hit with in the same way. No longer young and not yet old. What to do with the best years of your life? Bit jaded from work but without the pressures of providing for children. There isn't a clear well trodden pathway for this stage of life. I hope you can find some peace soon.
I think the fact you're questioning your professional path, lifestyle, etc is completely normal... There are only so many hauls, make up reviews, sponsored trips, bags and clothes anyone who seeks higher purpose in life can take before questioning is this really it? I can't imagine you being in your 40-ies and still doing this. You are clearly very capable and intelligent. I'm sure a new creative way of expressing yourself will come up when you're ready and we're here for it
Deep chat was so refreshing…and so relatable. I think we hit our mid-thirties and we realise we are EXHAUSTED. We tie so much of our identity to our jobs and I know for me, I’m like how much longer do I need to do this and is this actually meaningful…?
Life is short, follow your heart.
Life is very short you're so right xx
I thought it was just me! Why are we so TIRED!?
I agree life is short and if she wants to pick up and change everything I say DO IT! If you want to film it, we'll be here ams if you don't we wish you all the very best❤
Victoria you’re so lovely. I enjoy watching your content. I feel as if I know you through your videos.
The meaning of life is to love one another and to enjoy one another. I believe in God and family. When you spend time doing for others and sharing with your family, you will feel fulfilled. Sounds like God is tapping on your shoulder and telling you he is the meaning of life.
I adore your heart and I know you are a beautiful human.
@@VictoriaMagrathYou must visit the Isles of Scilly where I live on your next trips down to Cornwall I think you’ll love it. Cornwall is beautiful isn’t it I feel blessed every day 🙏
I’ve been in a life funk since I was born. Welcome to the club
Oh babe Im so sorry - sending love xx
@@VictoriaMagrath ❤️
😂
😂
Same 😂 if anyone knows the way out, that’d be great lol
I think that it makes sense to think about what sort of second career you might want to move in to - you are multi-talented. It’s mentally healthy to reflect.
wise comment! plus how sustainable is a influencer life style ..
Over the last several months I have gotten the definite feeling that you are no longer enjoying the whole social media lifestyle and that you would love the idea of another career out of the social media spotlight … this video only confirms this … the way you light up when speaking of Cornwall and a different lifestyle there … you are so talented ….. you should pursue it!!❤
Hi Vic! Nothing wrong with reinventing yourself 😊. Doesn’t need to be stressful. I’ve uprooted everything and moved to Costa Rica with a five month old baby because I needed to be closer to the ocean. Then 5 years later when my girl was ready to start school I did it again and moved to New York City. You can live this one life we have ANYWAY YOU WANT. There are no rules but the ones we put on ourselves. Girl, you are free ❤❤❤❤❤
Love this, thank you!
I find that birthdays, especially milestone ones, can have this effect. Sending love and light, Vic ❤️ ❤️🩹
The point of life is to do what makes you happy. And it’s so strange to see someone who you think has a perfect life, absolute goals, has doubts like this… it just shows you that no one’s life is perfect even though you think it is.
You are doing amazing girl, you are goals for soooo many women! I literally aspire to be like you ❤
Vic, I am a Life Coach and a Healer and I'll tell you one thing from my decade long practice- what you're experiencing is the most natural progression to the next big chapter of your life. It's the chaos before the calm. When we love our careers too much, we centre our life around it and for the longest time it drives us and sparks a ton of joy in us. Once that's done and dusted, it's time for us to move forward to another chapter which is finding balance because we now have the means to find balance. So that's the phase you're in. I can feel you sister because that's the phase I'm in too. Love, Sia {Life Coach, Hormone Health Coach, Spiritual Coach, Energy Healer & Teacher, Tarot Card Reader & Teacher, Switch Word & Energy Circles Practitioner, Drawing & Handwriting Analyst, Feeding Thy Soul Blog}
You’re a phenomenal vlogger Victoria, I see bigger things for you that have nothing to do with being a content creator. Especially knowing how incredibly intelligent you are and the degree you have. I could see you being a professor at a university or someone who gives lectures on specific topics at university’s.
Your intelligence is one of my favorite parts of you. Along with your kind caring personality.
💖🌷
Enjoying life is not enough Victoria, you have to expand your consciousness. Your questions makes sense and it's a good sign you are asking about the sense of life. I've been trough this years ago and the answers that I found make me live better and happier.
There is pressure to look a certain way, to be a certain only if you allow it. What I find truly inspiring are the people who embrace their authentic selves without pretending to be anyone else x
Love your deep chats Victoria - always remember ref slowing down & acquiring more balance in your life does not have to be to the detriment of your career. When we are young & building a career we do think I have to work work work, take all opportunities & never say no to anything. This is true to an extent, but really we get older, wiser & realise we can have much more in our lives other than work & still have our careers. You & Alex are obvs very successful & as Ihave commented before under your vlogs the fact that your oldest friends remain v. much in your lives says alot about you both. What a couple I say!!
Gosh I cannot tell you how lovely - thank you for being encouraging wow xx
I always start to feel like this after my birthday too. You get
Conscious of being another year older and where is your life going. I’m mid 30s too and often feel under pressure to keep up . It’s a normal feeling, also life is too short… If your gut says move to Cornwall just do it. X
I completely understand your feelings and I agree to an extent that life is about enjoyment.
As I get older, I find myself also feeling a strong desire to help others. I realised I’m so immensely privileged and there are people in my own community, or far away in other countries, really struggling.
I’ve found that this kind of hard work satisfies both my mind and soul.
I know you already do a lot for your community and you’re not one to boast about the charity work you do. My recommendation is to maybe try a hands-on service type just every so often and see if that adds anything to your life and helps nourish your soul too.
It's just something I've found a lot of reward in in terms of quality of life.
Anyway, you're always such a pleasure to watch and I hope you find what you need soon💛💛
Hello Victoria. Perhaps the slight slowing up is simply allowing yourself to ‘consider’ other possibilities and even in ‘considering’ there does not need to be a time limit placed or a pressure or a judgment place upon you either. Said in love and respect for you both xxx
I love this way of looking at it!! I did have an idea I would feel this way but i've definitely felt more uncomfortable than I thought I would xx
To get out of a funk you need to distract yourself by doing good for others…life with purpose🌺
very true, always helps me to do that! xx
Charity is never a waste of time , your soul will thank you for it 💚
I always imagined that being an content creator a limited series run. Like a tv show that you love, once they get to about season 10 they've explored all the ideas possible. They bring that show to a close and then go work on other projects. It's a very natural progression.
Do what makes you happy. We moved to Cornwall 13 years ago. Apart from getting our dog and getting married, best thing we ever did. It’s not a rehearsal. Enjoy while you can. Big love xx ❤
We can't all climb Mt. Everest or be an Olympian. We are all special in our own way. Where you are now is where you are meant to be. It is a stage of your life. It may be uncomfortable, but you have Alex to lean on and he thinks you're perfect and that is all that matters! Gratitude is the key. I know you are already grateful, but when I REALLY dig into my gratitude, that is when I find my mind is peaceful. XO
so well put!
It‘s that age. I am 36. if i would not have had a baby 2 years ago, I would be so lost. Of course children are not for all and if you are unhappy they don‘t make you happier, but being a mother and having the responsibility for another human being definitely helped me find my purpose and a direction in life, I never found in jobs.
Totally agree being a mother gives me a purpose in life.
It’s definitely not an easy job and the biggest responsibility any human being can have but there’s a satisfying feeling and emotions you get that you never get with anything else.
Totally normal Vic. We all get it. It’s the pressure of there being one life and making sure you’re doing it right. And I think the older we get we realise that might not mean more more more, but maybe less? sending love xx
Absolutely. I feel like that feeling only becomes more and more prevalent as you get older, obviously. and ensuring you’re living this short life to the fullest. But does anyone ever reach utter fulfilment, I wonder? Or do we only strive for it. I’m so unsure haha xx
@@VictoriaMagrath I've found that this is THE question, and I think it's why a lot of women end up having children. As a woman who held steadfast to my conviction that kids aren't a part of my journey, and the trappings of typical life hold less and less meaningfulness to my soul with each passing day, I've begun to realize that utter fulfillment can only come from Within. Easier said than done, oh how I know. Lean in to the self-reflection that's bubbling up inside you, practice just sitting with the discomfort of empty moments and I promise you'll find that the discomfort gradually fades away until you become content to just BE, without all the doing. It's in that quiet, that stillness, where you'll start to find glimmers of lasting fulfillment. The inner urging to be near the sea is a sign you're heading in the right direction, I've always found it to be a carrier of peace.
@@dianejaneclaytonthis is so beautifully said. I’m 37, can relate fully and many similar reflections with only one difference, I do want the kids with the right person
@@VictoriaMagrathI found utter fulfilment is something you’d constantly need to be working on anyway, we are only human, our emotions change day to day. Allowing yourself some grace, time to stop and reflect is important, however, is very much a luxury in the current work/life environment. Helping others, searching and hopefully finding God and faith and leaning into it for the answers, being kind are all the things that should bring a feeling of peace ❤ however, perhaps I’m misunderstanding what fulfilment means for you, must be different for all. It does seem though that a lot of us are simply searching to escape the constant anxiety and find peace and balance in our daily lives
@@rulond1440 given the inner journey you've clearly been on, I have no doubt your soul is letting Consciousness know you're ready, and that's when I've always found It comes through! All my best wishes on what's to come :)
"I spent an hour and a half tidying up everything properly in Alex's closet"
I was waiting for the montage cutoff to Alex's voice going "and now I can't find anything!" 😂😂
Hahahaha I’m surprised he didn’t include this 😂😂
I have an existential crisis every year around my birthday. You’re not alone! ❤
I am actually glad to hear you talk about slowing down. You have been working and traveling for so long. When you work as hard as you and Alex do, isent that the reason? So you will have a better future, do more things that you want to do? Take it from me, I am a lot older, but tmrw is not a given, things can change in an instant and you don’t want to regret not getting to do things that you say “one day I would like to”. Do it girl, you need some play time too!
❤
Your lives are full of seeking out objects, judging these objects, embracing or abandoning the objects then starting the whole process again. All this while having to look perfect and seeking out ways to look more perfect. No wonder you are feeling that way. I enjoy your channel and admire your work ethics and wish only the best for your futures.
Yes it must feel so empty. Godless and purposeless chasing of `things` is why well-off people in the West are so depressed
I moved to a place that we holidayed in over 9 years ago. I don’t regret a single thing but I wish someone had advised me to spend a week here in the winter when it was quiet, cold and nothing was open … it certainly tested my resolve to live in this beautiful place. Holidaying somewhere is totally different to living there … you need to try it at its worst as well as its best before you make the leap. That said … no regrets here!!! ❤❤
Thank you for your beautiful honesty. Makes you real, relatable and beautifully normal. 😊
It's the dreaded big birthday funk! I've been there, for sure, I remember 29 being particularly hard - I just feel a lot of pressure to be more, do more, and I get really self-critical and dissatisfied with myself which also leads me to feel like I need to rethink myself entirely as a person... It's rough. I think some of the self-reflection can be useful, but mostly I think it's useless, baseless pressure that keeps me from enjoying me.
I don’t think you’re in a funk, you’re just experiencing the ebbs and flows of life. It’s wonderful to think about the future but the future only exists in your mind. All you have is the present. Observe your thoughts, don’t judge them, don’t be tricked into thinking your thoughts are who you are. If we all based ourselves on our thoughts we’d be in a continual funk, because let’s be honest, most of our thoughts about ourselves are highly negative. Humans are a particular species, our minds can literally make us sick. I LOVE your dream, and forget the rat race. Stay present, be the watcher of your mind, and do what fills your cup because literally all we have is now ❤
This chat was so relatable and refreshing. There are so many on social media pretending that life is cake and sunshine all the time. Hang in there.
Love your honesty, Victoria. I find myself reflecting around my birthdays as well. Lately, I've started to journal, which helps me find clarity about the bigger picture. It's lovely that you're slowing down. Sometimes, it's the simple things in life that mean the most. Follow your heart and dream big. It's all waiting for you!
I really feel as others have said that true happiness and peace comes from seeing how you can help others - it’s not enough just to do stuff that makes you happy as eventually it will be less and less rewarding👍🏼
Dear Vic, watching and mostly feeling you go deep as you are going about your thoughts and wondering, how much of that is so humble and honest brings me to a state of euphoria and awareness that is beautiful to experience. I feel this very often with myself and others around me but being able to feel it through a screen (yes, there's a screen and miles of distance between the bodies we inhabit 😊) and feel it vicariously for you is precious. It tells me about a deep connection that exists between all of us. This was one of my favourite vlogs this year. Thank you. May you be. ✨🤍✨
100% a reflection we all go through. I have found contentment only comes from within and so this is the place to start, often with a spiritual axis to guide that self enquiry. No civilization has ever not had a tradition/religion/spiritual tendency and in the West we have lost it and in the process lost ourselves. Platonism would be my recommendation of where to begin.
Very accurate 🙏🏻👍🏻
It's natural to have dips in confidence and question life from time to time. Our perception of success changes as we get older, when we're first starting out it's all about impressing people and getting "up the ladder", then life happens and success becomes about finding a balance between career and home and I have no idea what comes next because I'm not there yet 😂 but I know it will change because life changes you, how boring would it be if it didn't xx
The purpose of life is different for everyone and it depends a lot on timing..for me it was having a baby BUT not loosing myself, my life, my hobbies, travels and friends. Happy to report it is possible with the right partner. Just do whatever makes you feel more.
Do whatever makes you feel more is gorgeous xx
Victoria I wrote this poem this week...
The Open Road
Sometimes, I yearn to
quit everything,
turn my life on its head,
hit the open road,
meet new faces, places,
start afresh, renew,
observe all,
in hyper focus,
embrace novelty,
tune to nature,
work with my hands,
turn off mind, brain,
live silently, simply,
without distractions,
relish the me of this moment,
forget
familial relations,
expectations,
preconceptions,
responsibilities,
demands, all past
versions of myself
give up,
finally,
forever,
always,
endlessly
existing, being
the one who
does the right thing.
Perhaps you’re not in a funk. Perhaps you’ve finally got the clarity (or on the way to obtaining the clarity) that you want/ need. It’s exciting Victoria…get uncomfortable with these things, it’s the best thing! ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
God Bless Your Journey Victoria🙏🏾❤
Dear Victoria,
First things first, I also clean out and organize my partners' closets. I can't stand the mess (I organize by type and colour). I love doing it, and he really appreciates it :)
Secondly, thanks for sharing your thoughts at the end of this video. I'm 41, I have moved countries twice and I still have those thoughts. They can be painful and uncomfortable, however, they always lead me to something great in the end. It's like going to the gym, when your muscles grow its uncomfortable, I think its the same with our souls
Omg VIC, honestly this deep convo is what I needed today….. is so refreshing for you to be open like this❤❤❤❤
At 56 I've probably felt 'lost' most of my life and as a youngster I travelled & worked abroad aged 20-26yrs old. i lived with someone until 32 and unfortunately gave up on ever having a loving relationship since. Im really very troubled at the mo, probably with the issues we are having in the UK. So not sure if its the energy of the schumann resonance or just the need to move somewhere nicer than where i am now..But, yes.. i can imagine how you are feeling.. To feed your soul with nourishment, where mine is just tired and I need time out🌹XX
We all have moments in life where we question ourselves. Just remember Vic not to make rash decisions. We are here to support you 💕
I feel you, was having the same conversation with my hubby. Must be something in the air😂
Try and not compare yourself with others, I know it’s hard with social media. You are a beautiful person inside and out and love watching you and Alex ❤
I think if you have found a place that just seems to feed your soul, you should absolutely consider moving there......of course, recognizing that it's not just the feeling of being on vacation, but actually living there. Being by the sea is so calming, and exciting. I used to live in downtown Vancouver and I absolutely loved being on the seawall, even if it was stormy. I would love to visit Cornwall one day, it looks so lovely. You definitely are making sense! It's so natural at certain points in life, to acknowledge changes need to be made, be it embracing hobbies or interests that help to make you feel more fulfilled, or a more major change like a move......
You are amazing just the way you are , and a funk is fine , but continue to be being you . No pressure this end just love watching you . ❤ casual , dolled up , ups and downs love it all it makes you so relatable xx ❤❤
You are in a "funk" , because you are intelligent and have empathy. You are also very self aware and reflective. I think you "nailed it" when you talked about the pressures of being on youtube/insta etc., especially on a woman. You are EXPECTED to do such & such and be a certain way--always. It would be daunting for anyone. Plus you have achieved a lot of your "to do list" in life. You are maturing on top of it all. None of how you are or how you are thinking is a bad thing. Nor does it mean you are in a bad place. Just means that life is not static, and you may be headed in a different direction. As long as you are healthy and surrounded by those you love on that new adventure that is the main thing:). Cut yourself some slack Victoria, you have done well, you will always do well---no matter what you DO. Take some pressure off, you are after all , only HUMAN.
You could get an astrology birth chart reading. I got one recently and it really helped me refocus and it gave me reassurance that I’m not lost! Your north node is your karmic path 💫
There is nothing wrong with thinking about your life and where you want it to head, that’s called being human and moving forward, even if it’s 5-10 even 20 years away it’s a goal and that is brilliant.. never question your self about moving in a different direction.. we all change and our aspirations change.. it’s a natural progression ❤❤❤
I feel the exact same way. Unsure of what I wanna do next, where I want to live. I feel lost at the moment too. Glad to hear I’m not alone.
Hi Victoria, my favourite saying is by Dr. Seuss, “ Be who you are say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” .You and Alex need to keep your mind and body healthy on whatever decisions you make. 🥰🇨🇦❤️
13:25 your doggo tucked up their sleeping bag is adorable 🥰
I couldn’t listen to you using the ZIIP because Boe in his little bed snoozing was to adorable 🥰
I’ve been in a funk for over a year and had the worst writer’s block of the century and you know what got rid of it instantly? A WHOLE NEW RESTRUCTURING of my work out routine with my most amazing personal trainer ❤ It’s like my life was clogged for a while and suddenly by changing things up, me and my trainer are aiming to get me more snatched, has suddenly opened the flood gates of creativity and I AM WRITING AGAIN😭 And I absolutely get you with the whole Cornwall thing, I have that vision too, just need to see where exactly lol But I am so happy you feel that way with Cornwall, maybe you have this deep desire to set roots and Cornwall seems to give you that 🥰
re: holding fragrance, if you use a neutral body oil it should act as a carrier for any of your fragrances and help them last a bit longer
I was having the same chat with a friend of mine recently and we are both alot older than you. It can maybe be a way of your 'gut' reminding you not just to do what youve always done and to explore other interests. Everything is part of the journey we are all on. Have no regrets but also remember... Not to wish you'd have done something or wish you hadn't. That has been a bit of a revelation for me. I'm on a similar path ❤
Totally makes sense to want harmony in life. You're doing great Victoria!
Hi Victoria, I've never been to Cornwall, but a few years back, I discovered Doc Martin and I fell in love with Cornwall. I love it so much. I watch Doc martin in loop. The coast line, the moors, all of it. It's just the most beautiful place. I hope to visit one day. I hope you move there. I think it's a but of paradise. I live on the coast of oregon, the Central Coast. I love it here so much, but Cornwall has so much charm. I love the striped pottery, too. If alex takes pottery lessons, he may make you a couple of coffee mugs.❤❤❤
Whenever I have been in a true funk it was because I needed a change in course. After one deep funk, I went back to school and got my degree. A bit extreme but listen to your heart!
The purpose life is to Love God, Love others and Love ourselves. All three are needed for a happy, purposeful life.
I have some old Christmas themed converse that I only wear a few times a year
So much love for you, Victoria! We want you to follow your heart & do what makes you happy ❤️ I look up to you so much, I’m turning 28 this summer and have been navigating similar feelings this past year. It can be tough, but I’m trying to trust the journey! Xx
You’ve nailed it Vic…I’m also in a wee funk 💛 Thank you for sharing…so easy to feel like everyone else is thriving/sailing! 🙈
When you mentioned watermelon and Costa Rica, I had to share - watermelon there tastes 10x better than it does here in the States. I felt like I was lied to my entire life when I tried watermelon in Costa Rica because the flavor was insane! We loved Costa Rica when we went. Saw so many animals including sea turtles, sloths, agoutis, macaws, toucans, and anteaters.
Could not relate to the water melon chat more😂 🙌 , well done on cutting up the whole thing, I need to learn from this as a fellow “can’t be arsed to chop up the whole thing” person😅❤
ahahahaa felt like everyone would relate to that xx
Totally relatable deep chat and I'm 10years older and feel the same lack lustre and annoyed at life as I feel the vast majority of us live to work so we can just survive which im very much sure there's more to life. The feeling you have for Cornwall is exactly the same that I feel when leaving Harris in the outer hebs, truely truely feel alive and so at peace when I'm there. We'll work through it I'm sure love to you both x
Vic, as someone that wants to live many lives and experience everything... my advice to you is just go do it! Move... spend the money, if you fail so what... if it works out, Yay. Its a longing in you that shouldnt be squashed, you'll regret you waited so long. Do it, rent a place in Cornwall for 6months & see what layers of yourself you uncover and fall in love with parts of you you never knew existed. Sending love! xx
Maybe getting comfortable with not knowing .. say to yourself im not sure where i want to live but in due time i’ll know. There’s no right or wrong, instead of going for a drastic change, go to Cornwall more often, follow what you are feeling in the moment, and small changes to your life will have a big change in due time!
HOW COME IS THAT FLOWER HAIR TIE MAKING ME FEEL SO MANY FUZZY FEELINGS❤ Victoria you look ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE WITH THAT HAIR TIE OMGGGGG😍
Great video, it will all come to you and you will make the right decision for you and your family, I think it’s a normal feeling and that’s what made our family move from England to Florida and get out of the corporate world and run our own lives, we haven’t looked back since 12 years on.
On another note if you are planning on going to Costa Rica you have to stay at Nayara Tented Camp I sent you it when we stayed there last year it’s absolutely amazing! We had our own fire pit, hot spring and whole living room overlooking the volcano! You would absolutely love it. Same level as Jade Mountain.
Please be kind to yourself. No harshness to self. You will have a break through because there isn’t really ever a breakdown ~ just a space created to break through and give space to shake off an old coat that doesn’t feel right to you and give space to consider what will feel right. Being perhaps uncomfortable is showing you that change , even slow change is occurring and it’s a process that you are in control of and you get to decide what fits and when. Xxx YOU haven’t gone through all this , put in all this work to put pressure onto yourself now , perhaps instead your could instil praise and celebrate all that you have done so far , and any change will happen because you will be ready for it. You are very capable, ask those around you , with or without your beautiful make up and clothes, please know this love xxx
Believe me - I find social media awful most of the time - am so glad it didn’t exist when I was young -
I think that success comes and so does more pressure that you put on yourselves
I spoke of this recently to my daughter and son in law
Remember to breathe the life your living not just the work
If your really happy with what your doing carry on but if your not change
Don’t run into something that’s not you
Age changes you
Agree 100% about husband wardrobe. Always get messy and I drive me crazy too 🙂
Totally empathise with your self doubt! I am 36 and child free by choice. So much of what you said towards the end of the video is EXACTLY what I have been feeling. As strange as this sounds, its nice to hear someone else vocalise this and be comfortable with the uncomfortable-ness (is that a word?!) of it all. Thanks for this. Happy birthday for last week!! 💜💜💜💜
You do make sense, and I’m glad you share this! One path is not a final path, the self doubt is popping up because your ‘true’ path is not being followed atm. I happen to be in the exact same position, going from a director of a commercial company to a complete different carrier and lifestyle. I quitted this job! I can’t even believe I did. But it was not furfilling anymore, I lost energy instead of gaining it, on a daily basis. So I changed my whole life, I had to. Very intriguing, very scary, but so damn rewarding! I’ll find my new path, and have no clue what that is yet 😅 But the reward is in allowing for yourself to make that change ❤ and not for anybody else. Because nobody else will do it for you. Good luck beautiful woman!
@victoria go to a surfing. Leaving all on the water. Be in the present on your trip and it will allow you to calmness to make focused decisions. We #followers follow by choice, remember that. It’s because we relate to you. ❤
Spanish girl here! For the Spanish omelette one of the tips is fry onion with potato low heat until it’s all golden. Strain it and add it to the egg. Chefs kiss. You can also add peppers to the concoction!!
oh YUM! xx
I totally get your life chat Victoria, I completely relate to it, in terms of being in a funk. My circs are vey different to yours in terms of upbringing and opportunities in life specifically the working world. I currently do a job which is a means to an end and I find quite difficult at times due to its nature. Not making excuses at all but I have not been able to truly live my dream due to caring responsibilities and feel somewhat that I have missed out and not where I am supposed to be in life, in terms of the real me. I feel like there is not enough lifetime, years, days, hours to do all that we would like to do in life. I try and enjoy life through little creative hobbies and projects but it's not quite the same and when it boils down to it what is true contentment and happiness. Not material goods as so many seem to think but being surrounded by people who love you, sharing the highs and lows and finding joy in things that are meaningful, like a walk on the beach, a great coffee, growing or making things. This applies to you and you and Alex together. I suppose what I am trying to say is that maybe you need to listen to the voice in your head, your inner gut feeling is a true indicator of what is right for you. Maybe not changing things drastically in the immediate future but working towards that change, and if it is to live in Cornwall, it will either satiate that desire or not, in which case maybe its a change up of something else that is required. You are so hardworking and whilst you can and are able to make these changes, I would say do them. From a fellow funker who loves your vlogs, honesty and realness. 🤗😊 xx
Oh love, totally get it with the life questions. It’s so difficult sometimes to figure out what you want….. we definitely all have those times. You’ll figure it out when you’re ready ❤
I think testing ourself and pushing our limits sometimes helps us find a new purpose. 😊 we grow as a person when we are challenged or try something spontaneous.
your skin is glowing omg I need to know your secrets! I get married in 3 months xx
I typed too soon .... current body looks like it's working a treat!!
ohhhh this is such a compliment thank you babe! xx
Ah big life questions? I get it totally! I’m quite a bit older Victoria, and my husband and I are now searching for our home by a lake! Time to slow down for us! Hard to know when is the exact right time, follow your heart and soul. You will know. You looked gorgeous in this vlog🥰
I agree with earlier comment, when you do for others it is very fulfilling. With your current way of life it is lovely but doing a job where others are main priority is rewarding. Money may not be anywhere what you earn bur mind and body will he more restful xx
Good evening Victoria babe I hope you Alex and boe are well it's so lovely to see you again thanks so much for sharing your wonderful vlog take great care babes❤❤❤❤
SOooo relatable re: my husband’s wardrobe. It’s insane in there!!! 😂
Glad it's not just mine hahaha xx
Hi Victoria ❤darling we loved the vlog and yes you do make a lot of sense. You do as your heart desires , and we are all here for your support ❤xx
I’m feeling exactly the same I’m hoping it passes as I’ve also wanted to throw my whole life upside down and change everything I’m hoping it’s just the age that we’re at and I can find a more content happier place soon
Perhaps it is you're so right! They do see we tend to do things in 7 year cycles don't we so perhaps we're at that point! xx
Omg boe in the background napping in the blankets 😍
The ZIIP is incredible. Also good for spot treatment when you’re breaking out
Ooooh yes!! xx
Thats what life is Victoria a very large question iv no doubt you will find the right answer for you and family ❤
Such a lovely thing to say thank you xx
In this hot weather I like making watermelon, coconut water, lime, and a pinch of salt. Nice and hydrating!
Always follow your heart, sun ☀
Omg… Our travel plan are in sync this year. First we went to Arizona and stayed at the same “very-long name hotel.” And now, Costa Rica 🤯
Im 35 and dont want children and in a similar life funk the path isnt obvious but think you have to ride what’s happening and take opportunities and what feels right
I’m from CR !!! Happy to know you’ll be coming!!! PURA VIDA!!!
Thanks for being so honest Victoria - I think it's relatable and also why I watch your vlogs, because you're a human not some perfect ideal of a human. I think funks come and go and I have found as someone in a child-free relationship there can be an existential question in the mid-thirties that people with children don't get hit with in the same way. No longer young and not yet old. What to do with the best years of your life? Bit jaded from work but without the pressures of providing for children. There isn't a clear well trodden pathway for this stage of life. I hope you can find some peace soon.
You are such a lovely and honest person, love love love your vlogs 🥰
I think the fact you're questioning your professional path, lifestyle, etc is completely normal... There are only so many hauls, make up reviews, sponsored trips, bags and clothes anyone who seeks higher purpose in life can take before questioning is this really it? I can't imagine you being in your 40-ies and still doing this. You are clearly very capable and intelligent. I'm sure a new creative way of expressing yourself will come up when you're ready and we're here for it
Definitely with you on the half water melon thing just chucked my other half out 😂 time for reflection isn't a bad thing. You do you ❤xxx
Maybe, it's the most sense you've made in a while? It sounds like you are listening to your body when you're on your travels! 😊
