If you struggle with mental health, you should never define your baseline performance by your “good” days. My therapist told me this during our third meeting, years ago. She told me that my baseline survival tasks need to be based on what I am capable of at my lowest, because I need to have a reliable expectation for those days. It’s changed my life.

The section of this video where you addressed the culture around food and being skinny is so on point. Thanks so much for being so honest. The further away we get from that time on social media, it's so obvious just how harmful a lot of the undercurrents motivating people were. Good on you for sharing!

i cringe sooo hard when i think back to all that content and how food-shamed we were. im so glad the younger generations (like my sister who is 9 years younger than me) already have way better messaging and content and a variety of bodies being shown. still far from perfect, but way better. it also makes me sad that what we had is definitely better than what our parents had! 🙃

Thank you for the tips on starting a KZread channel! I just started mine this year and your tips are super helpful!

Loved this video! I'm listening to you while WFH. I could relate to so many of the topics you were talking about during the video: vegetarian diet, engagement talks, your money journey... We're around the same age, I watch you since 2020, and it's crazy to think about how much life has changed since then. Love from Belgium 🐑❄✨

Zoe! Just wanted to let you know your videos and IG really inspired me to do more reading. I read A Dreadful Splendour and devoured it. It really gave me a kick to do more reading as a better way to spend my down time. So leaning into that has me feeling 📚🕯️🧦✨ Not sure if you have a GoodReads account but it would be such a cool way to see your book recs and what you’re reading for those of us looking for our next book ☺️

Zoe!! I’m in the same boat with my dog in regards to separation anxiety so you’re not alone with that! What are you doing for training? I’ve tried a few different methods but nothing seems to work and I feel like I’m losing my mind lol.

so happy to hear about your debts! and the anxiety is so hard 😭 ive been following a method of “gentle exposure therapy” where you basically go at the dogs pace and never leave them alone outside of trainings. I had a trainer but then I discovered the book “Be Right Back” and am now doing it on my own. Its probably one of the hardest and most mentally taxing things Ive done in recent years… just hoping and praying the dog will get better and you’ll get some independence back. Stay strong!

I let my other half now husband of two years to pick my engagement ring without even giving advice on what I would like and it was honestly so perfect and such a wonderful surprise. We have been together for almost 11 years and wouldn’t change a thing ❤ there is never a rush although I understand with social media it feels as though everyone is getting engaged constantly or announcing pregnancies which is tough to keep coming across. Your time will come. What I always say is “what is for you won’t go passed you” 🎉

I totally resonate with your thoughts on going back to eating meat! I myself was vegan for 5 years and vegetarian for 1 year and absolutely loved being plant-based, but I can also admit that part of my motivation was for the wrong reasons as well. I slipped into old restrictive eating habits and realized that I couldn't continue if I wanted to nurture my physical and mental health. I now eat meat again, but I'm focused on shopping as sustainably and ethically as possible, with a focus on being mindful over being restrictive. I've also felt judged at times (many of my family members are still vegan) but at the end of the day, I think we need to do what's best for us regardless of what others say or think.

Better help really sucks!! There are so many great virtual therapists now without that.

Maybe for the spending less: try a no spend week followed by a low spend week where you set yourself a lower budget in the categories or cut out some categories completely. No spend challenges don't need to really be no spend. You make your own rules, so for example you could cut everything out except for groceries. You can also set yourself a budget and goal, for example: only 50$ on groceries and eating what hasn't been used in the fridge. And then in the low spend week following you could take on certain categories or set yourself a goal like "eating out 1 time, getting coffee one time, 100$ on groceries" but not buying anything else. That's what I do. It's a longer challenge but it's nicer because you don't restrict yourself completely but "cleanse" for one week and ease into the 2nd and then in the third one you don't feel super drained from not doing anything because of restrictions

How do people make money off Instagram ? Is it just by promoting products ?

@MissSeaworld8

6 ай бұрын

I think most of the money comes from sponsered videos and showing off products yes. Some have a long term contract with a brand to show their purses for instence a surtain amount of times in a year or so. And if you are invited to a free stay at a hotell to promote the place and share a link to booking it can give you both money for the pictures/vlogs and when others book a stay from your story etc.

@ZoePritchard

6 ай бұрын

on Instagram it would most likely be a sponsored post (ex heres $500 for promoting this hairbrush) or affiliate links (get 10% of every hairbrush you sell)… instagram doesnt have an ads kickback program like youtube does with adsense, but i do think you can get approached by more brands to do collabs on Instagram
