To have parents like that is a kind of luxury I didn't even conceive of being possible... till now. I'll have to rewatch, after the first watch my jaw is on the floor. Mind blowing what it must feel like to be that warmly nurtured and supported by both complementing each other yet in unison.

Their channel is called Beneath the Surface and is linked in the description in one of the older videos featuring them on this channel (for anyone who sees the above comments and wondering). They totally fill a feeling of lack I had no idea how to put words to. All I know is, now, that anything and everything I ever wished, and hoped for and asked for from my existing family was never ever too much (it was nowhere near enough). Even though it has always been implied that's it's too much / unreasonable etc.

@@zuesnastrio3062 Oh gee, you work 1 or maybe two hours more a day than me (which is probably not even true) and you want to have a contest over which of us has it worst? Tell you what, you win. You do. My company is esop, meaning I’ll at least retire with a few million in the bank. Meanwhile, you’re probably relying on 401K, if even that. So, your life sucks more, congrats?

i don't remember the last time I had such a genuine, warm and yet, thought-provoking conversation with another human including my family. having such friends or family in your life is something money cannot buy.

Holy smokes, she nailed it! Love is not trying to be a people pleaser. “Love is when you show up genuine and when you’re clear about what your needs are and what you really want.” You’re fortunate to have such a wise mom. 👍

I love the conversations between you and your parents! It makes me reconsider so many things in life. And the whole day looks so filled with love and joy. Thank you!

I love the relationship you have with your parents. Open minded, non judgemental, honest and caring. It's very inspiring, thank you for you hard works Nathaniel!

"Going slowly is very uncomfortable in a world that gives so many short-term rewards for going fast".. and I'd add "but it's the slow, methodical and long-term progress that will take you to where you want to be". PS_ That family conversation in the end was simply heart-warming.. wow!

wow, your family background is positive and proactive. We exchange deep thoughts about life in a very simple way. In my family I get to do none of this, not even close. I suffer from it and sometimes I wonder why I'm so different from them. There must be frivolous conversations, but also a constructive confrontation, without leading to useless disputes and quarrels. I'm a little jealous... 😛

per ragionare come loro bisogna avere una mentalità aperta ed essere introspettivi, cosa che le vecchie generazioni, soprattutto italiane, hanno molto poco. Trovo anche io molto fortunato chi è cresciuto in questo contesto, perché avere una spinta, qualcuno che crede in te, che ti ascolta e ti supporta, vuol dire veramente tanto per creare il giusto mindset e fare qualcosa nella vita. Se invece sei costantemente giudicato, o al contrario ignorato, è difficile anche solo realizzare di avere delle qualità. Ma le hai, io le ho, tutti ne abbiamo e tutti siamo capaci di fare tanto. A volte però quando sei stato costantemente buttato giù, capita di non aver voglia neanche di provarci per non dover affrontare un fallimento, che sarebbe come confermare i pregiudizi di chi non credeva in noi o di chi non si aspetta niente.

The greatest privilege you have is the warm and respectful relationship you have with your parents, who create a space for you to share your thoughts, feelings and goals without judgement. Such mutual respect between parents and kids is truly rare in our generation. You’re truly lucky.

Hi Nathaniel, I’ve watched a lot of your videos & love the way you explore life & wisdom. I know you know this - so it’s not a critique - just an observation - you have a very privileged life. At 25, to have travelled so widely, learned so much …to live in a beautiful flat in Paris with amazing decor & view…to have parents who are so loving, affirming & wise (& they are not very old either). I know your life has its challenges but I hope you do appreciate every moment..because compared to many/most people’s experiences, your life is a dream come true. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love to live vicariously through your videos & enjoy the nuggets of wisdom & Joie de vivre…& pastries! Your videos bring joy…they are interesting & fun. Best of all, you are constantly seeking & learning & that is what makes life interesting & worthwhile or us all. 💙❤

A wonderful reminder, and you are so right. I do my best never to forget it. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to watch :)

I imagine myself being like your parents when in my future. I’m sure they made a lot of sacrifices in their own personal young lives to be at this point where they’re successful. You have no idea how fortunate your parents are and it’s because they put in the work. They actually had a conversation with you. I know there’s a lot of healthy families and it’s not uncommon for parents to be present in their kids lives but basically I just want to praise them because to be the way your parents are takes guts. Trust me.

The connection that you have with your parents is something i have with my parents. More and more i am seeing how incredibly special it is to have emotionally intelligent parents who dare to be vulnerable and open with you as an offspring. it's amazing to see that you have such an equal friendship with them too and that is (unfortunately) such a rare thing! We are blessed good sir!

Mama offering up so much wisdom so casually. Like every sentence is pure gold. I love her so much.

I was having a panicking attack and I "accidentally" start watching this video, and somehow this calmed me off so quickly in a way that I never experienced before, I can't thank you enough for this.

Would your mom create a video on tips for being a mother? I just had my fourth child - I love seeing your relationship with your mom and I’d love to hear her views on motherhood 💕

You have the coolest parents! So engaged, tuned in, and supportive. What a blessing.

2 years ago, I used to watch every single video you did, and everytime, it was like if I could have speak the same words and topics you were presenting. The sincronicity was insane, and learned tons of awareness thanks to you. At that time I got into a relationship that finished 3 weeks ago, unfortunately an experience that ended up diminshing myself, not taking care of my person, time, and values. Living it with the (not) "Love" your mum describes on the table. Now it's time to heal, and surprinsingly -or not- I returned to your channel, popped the most recent video, and voilà, again, feeling your steps. I don't know what happened to you during these 2 years, but I'm glad that we both realized it's time to find our inner harmony, peace, and learn to put boundaries around us. Sending you a hug Nathaniel.

So this is what supportive parents sound like! This was really healing to witness. Thank you!

Your parent are so wise. What I love about your whole family is they are open and talk about feeling and anything. Normal family doesn't do this. This is really what a good family should be about, open to talk, while not judging each other.

Respect! for posting an intimate dinner table conversation with your parents online.

i LOVED watching the talk you had with your parents, really makes me wish i had this close a relationship with mine, to the point of being able to share your thoughts and experiences openly and growing with one another! would love to see more of this!

It’s radical for me to see you interact with your parents like this, I hope that for myself and my future family

The dinner you captured with your parents is so magical man. The fact that this is on camera is incredibly special. It's a harsh reality, but your parents won't live forever. You'll treasure that you'll have these conversations on film.

I can’t get around the fact that you are so self-deprecating and so critical about who you are when you have already experienced and achieved so much at such a young age. I am the age of your parents and watching them I am sure they have not put you under any sort of pressure. So please give yourself some slack and enjoy the amazing being that you are and please do not feel guilty about the incredible life that you have. You do not need any achievements or milestones. You are already truly an amazing being. I also feel very proud that you and your parents chose France to live in. Love your videos.

This is amazing and such a foreign thing to me. I have never (34 years old now) had the experience of sitting with my parents like this (or at all): the wisdom, the nurturing, the INTEREST his parents show in being with him in that space. I wish I could know what that feels like.

You are so very fortunate to have the parents that you have. I just love them to bits! I wish my parents/family had been anywhere near being like them. I feel I would have become a much more creative and happy person, if I had had your loving and supportive parents 💖💖

Hi Nathaniel, this message is for your parents: Cito: "...you don't know how to put boundaries because just like me you don't want to please, you confused that doing that for others is love and so do I and that's not love, love is when you show up genuine and you're clear about what your needs are and what you really want and you say it from a place of peace so you need to find your peace... if you find your peace it's so much easier to put boundaries and to know what you want". Harmony. Mi 2022 fue un año muy duro, very hard, mentalmente para mi, me di cuenta que me conozco muy poco, que me faltan herramientas para enfrentar situaciones y por lo mismo yo tome malas decisiones que afectaron a otros. Los ultimos meses he estado trabajando en mi, escribiendo en un diario mental (los videos de su hijo me han entregado bastante orientacion) y necesitaba escuchar aquellas palabras que he citado arriba. He decidido comenzar a buscar la harmonia en mi este 2023, cómo aprender a poner sanos limites, aprender a decir no demostrando mi honestidad. Sinceramente son muchos los pensamientos que nunca habia tenido hasta este año, creo que es porque estoy creciendo y cada año tengo nuevas experiencias y por lo mismo más aprendizaje de como es la vida, mi vida, mi contexto y de quienes me rodean. Este martes 20 cumpliré 23 años y estoy muy expectante de este nuevo año, de todo lo que puedo hacer, ver y vivir. Agradecida de poder continuar viviendo en este mundo junto a las personas que quiero y estimo. Muchas gracias padres de Nathaniel, en especial a mamá Drew, saludos desde Chile! Atentamente, Alí.

This type of familial relationship is so rare & such a breath of fresh air 💛 Also I'm jealous but God bless y'all 💚

Nathan, I hope you realize how lucky you are to have parents like this. Beautiful family you guys are.

I really connect to slowing down. I'm a University Student in Montreal and I felt so much pressure when I started out to get as many classes finished quickly. However, this semester I dropped a class to slow down and alleviate a lot of the pressure I was feeling before and learn to enjoy some of the topics I'm genuinely interested in. Always inspiring Nathan and have a great Christmas.

Your mum is the sweetest thing you are so lucky

Your videos have had such a profound effect on me over the years. Always down to earth, emotive and compelling. You have such a gift for storytelling and I can't imagine a world without your videos

Nathaniel, Oh my! I just started watching your videos today and now I see that I've been watching your parents videos since they started. Not that I avoid young content makers but in this case, as I am looking for my home in France for retirement, your parents were a bit more my demographic. That said, you are wonderful to watch .You have a friendly presentation and a natural poise in front of the camera. I would crawl off and die if I were in a video seen by 'everyone'. Thank you for your excellent work and thank your parents for me as they have helped me make choices and taught me some things. Thank you all.

Your honest and open relationship with your parents is so much inspiring! I don’t have it with my parents so I wish I will have it with my children! And this topic of finding a balance and slower living is getting more attention and that’s awesome. I hope the society will start to value being able to say no a not producing all the time as mentioned. I am glad you are also discussing this topic ❤

You are really so inspiring. I was living in Chile 5 years ago when I got really sick and had to return to the US. I had a huge grieving process where I gave up on the notions of being a traveler. After years of healing the internal and external, your videos are helping to refertilize those seeds of adventure I was cultivating in Chile all those years ago. Thank you!

That was lovely. Nathaniel, I really admire your parents and the way they approach life. When everything around you is moving at a breakneck pace, slowing down and appreciating the journey is arguably the toughest thing to accomplish. Listening to that conversation is comforting.

Here's a really simple plant tip that helped my make pretty much all of my plants survive and avoid over watering: Put a finger in the soil. If the soil is moist, don't water it. And no, not even if it seems like it has been a while since you did it last. Is it dry(ish) - then water it. Water it well (always pots with drainage) so that the water runs all the way through. That's it for water - it's really simple. Then there's light. Most plants don't do well in complete darkness og blasting sun, but it depends on the specific plant. The middle way is to make sure most of your plants have at least some sort of indirect light throughout the day.

OMG Nathaniel, you have amazing parents, they give such incredible advice. You are very fortunate to have them in your life. I loved this video, so much inspiration and so much love, thank you for sharing this with all of us. You are a wonderful person and do amazing things, believe and trust that, and you will find inner peace. You gave me an incredible gift today so thank you so much, both your parents and your words really impacted me in a good way.

OH MY GOSH!! Her philosophy!! 7:13 It just brought tears in my eyes, that really hit me. Here I am trying to overdo and, basically shame myself for not overdoing or accomplishing when, as she said, you need to "rotate", to "let the ground breath, in order to keep planting seeds". Amazing, I loved it. Better that therapy. 😅

I love your relationship with your parents - the honest, open conversations they have with you are so beautiful. Really appreciated your mom’s insights and advice in this video especially!

What a pleasure it is to see healthy, loving relationships. I'm sure you know how very fortunate you are and I have no doubt that your parents nurturing has much to do with your creativity, curiosity, and fantastic journey as a human being. I love this day. Seems so perfect to me. Your youthful wisdom makes me thirsty to relive my younger years all over again.

Youre so so so so so so lucky to have the parents you have. It makes me want to cry, youre so blessed.

I so enjoyed this. The family dynamics were lovely. As a multinational family spread over a number of continents, different hemispheres and widening time zones, I love that your family has come together some place... else. I am envious. And living vicariously. PS. I am curious, whilst you have your family with you, do you (all) think that the speed of life has speeded up for the 'current' generation, compared to previous? I would be very interested to know your and your parents view points. Would love love love to see a Q&A between you and your parents on how you each view each others lives and how they are seen, against the realities.

Never stop creating videos mate. Your videos are a gateway to my personal heaven.

Can confirm - would also move to France just for that butter - the taste is so incredibly different even from germany where I live

The BEST day in my life video I've seen so far

i miss my dad, after he died these kinds of conversations happen very rare, and they also used to be a big part of my childhood and adolescense. I miss cooking with my parents like this and eating and talking...

i kept pausing this video and writing down what you were saying because i need to remind myself of these things. your mindset is extremely complex and unique but at the same time so relatable. loved this one, man.

I thank all three of you for the lessons you taught me in this vidéo! One that stood out was fighting for your own time.

I love the words of wisdom your parents shared with you, and how you honoured that and highlighted it in this video.

That wisdom is priceless. Kudos to your mom and dad. Even people with experience fail to project their understanding with such clarity and thoughtfulness. Loved this ❤️

That parents/son conversation is precious ❤️💎

Your parents are idols. I feel grateful for you having them :)

Hi Nathaniel, I'm a 14-year-old kid who does KZread and I've been really inspired by your art, I love the way you explore ideas in such a way that captivates my mind. You really inspired me to embark on this KZread journey, I know you get a lot of comments so I know you might not see this.

Wow! What a piece of wisdom and inspiration for self-reflection this video was 🤩🤯 Your mom's truth-bomb about letting things settle. So simple and yet so mind-blowing. I actually had to pause the video and get my journal out since it sparked so many crucial thoughts that I didn't want to forget. In addition to all the ideas, I'm pretty sure she solved a major challenge I've been facing at work by putting this idea into words. I can't thank her enough! 🙏 I spent the rest of the video, just watching ang pausing, writing in journal, watching again. And pausing again to write 😄 From the pressure to try to distinguish yourself to losing the quality of work because of some urge to rush things to finding peace. This video was exactly what I needed in this moment of my current life. The perfect video at the perfect time.

I love your parents. I actually found them and their journey, and that's how I found your channel. I've always toyed with retiring outside the US. With 3 kiddos...I hope we all find our way. Thanks for sharing.

watching you having these conversations with your parents, make me warm and fuzzy inside 😄 I think its something we all wish for. and seeing you is an inspiration. i'm 31 now. when I was in my 20ies I often felt very different from the rest of my family. a lot happend, a lot of disagreements and trauma on top. the past year I've learned to keep my heart open, which changed a lot. we all co-create. thank you for that video!
