Starting life over again is difficult. I can't believe I am single for over 2 years now. I am far from where I want to be, things take time and for the most part I am very lost at this moment. Terrible life changing events drastically altered my consciousness and I am slowly getting to discover myself again. I am experiencing a rebirth and it feels uncomfortable. Have you ever felt the same? Am I the only one stocked in a freezer response mode?

I lost both my parents... I moved out of my apartment to help my mom, who had cancer. She died at 67, and my dad, who had been with her since they were 16, had taken his own life... both 67. I'm a grown ass woman who wants her parents. I lost my first born to stillbirth... and after that, I had an addiction problem after the epidural they did was improperly inserted... at 15 being on oxys, vicodin, and percs. The doctor took me off after 6 years... I ended up numbing my pain with drugs, I'm 34 now, and I wish I had the answers for you. My heart broke when you told us about Philips passing. I wish we weren't on opposite sides of the country cuz girl, you'd be welcome at my place ANYTIME. ❤❤. Wish I could help you.

Yeah it must have been 2 huge shocks for you, so sorry 😢. I have had health problems for 20 years , its very unstable so makes it hard to heal the deep trauma. To feel better its important to feel safe and secure plus understand the architecture of trauma, brain and nervous system. Ton of videos on KZread and plenty on Reddit of sharing advice and stories. So understanding, meditation, conscious breathing, write journal, hold and feel emotions, have community and positive people, have insight on attachment styles and your beliefs about the world , brain retraining and affirmations, somatic therapy to process the trauma etc. It can be a long deep journey to heal, feel safe and claim sovereignty. Big hugs 🫂

I did the same! Got divorced at 32, and after my lease was done the next year I decided to get in my car with my cat and travel across Canada. It has been the most expansive, healing, wonderful part of my life so far! I look at all the women I grew up with who remain married and tied down to the families they started in their 20's and absolutely know I made the right choice to allow myself extra time for my full potential to flourish. Girl, we are doing big things! I'm about to turn 35, and I think you're in for a treat if you keep going down this route!! YOU WILL FEEL SO ALIVE BY THE TIME MOST PEOPLE START TO SLOW DOWN!!!!

@S23Tm-qn4bq LOL welllll actually it's funny you say that because if you read it right you would conclude that I'll be 35 soon. Gonna celebrate my birthday in less than 3 months =D I'm so excited because my birthday present to myself will be moving to British Columbia's Fraser Valley! According to you, I have less than 5 years before the male gaze will ever look upon me and my worth will absolutely be diminished. I don't feel what you say is true. If that's how you operate that's totally fine. But, women in my family have followed an ancestral diet for generations throughout our lineage and have had babies until they were 60+. I'm a holistic nutritionist who specializes in female fertility, and I assure you that what you say isn't remotely true. I help women in their 40's get pregnant. In the west, women need IVF but there are lots of traditional societies and diets that will show you that a woman's body can be pregnant and breastfeed well into their 70s and menopause is even a myth in some tribes. Actually, in a lot of Asian and African cultures GRANDMOTHERS will lactate just for their grandchildren. Besides healthy genetics, I also have a full and complete faith in god's plan for my life, and am absolutely okay with whatever outcome will bring me the most expansive form of joy for my expansive self and life :) Hopefully you heal whatever it is that has you so angry at the thought of women being happy without someone. I encourage you to try to find a way to cope with and digest that my life is my own to live without further seeking my validation of your thoughts. That means this is something you can contemplate on your own without my influence. Consider it.

Hi Lidia, I’m 33 years old ! Separated for almost a year soon divorced , and with lots of harsh consequences to deal with because of the separation, But I trust that I’m gonna be okay, YOU gonna be okay! God is no respecter of person, there are countless stories of people who went through far worse situations and still God restored them and gave them a future and a hope. Jesus is still on the throne, he loves you and cares for you. Turn to him and he will give new meaning to your life. Your best days are still ahead of you

"Volkswagens don't leak oil; they mark their spot." I am glad you are keeping your spirits up despite your challenges. It's not easy, so live your life one day at a time.

Keep on rolling, I've started over so many times I started listing it as a skill on job applications. It's going to get better.

One of the best times in my life around the same age as you was traveling around in a Westy like yours. I worked as a chef doing seasonal work in resorts during the summer and ski resorts during the winter. Many places I worked actually gave me free room and board. It was great to be able to bank all my pay, free room and board and met some really great coworkers in resort areas. Off days I played hiking, kayaking, skied, exploring the places where people came to vacation. Anyway, sometimes plugging yourself into a regular job for a season or so is therapeutic, both financially, mentally and a great way to see wonderful places. Good luck to you :)

Wish you well and look forward to watching more vids. Thanks

I almost lost my life in 2015. I was hospitalized for a month. During that month, both of my parents died and I could not see them. I slowly healed. In that one month, I thought a lot about my life up till then. I realized I had a second chance. I have went through the depression and sadness. I still feel it to this day. However, I have adopted a new attitude that goes like this: Any day above ground is a good day . I know it’s easy for me to say that now, but let’s just say I’ve been through the emotional trenches one goes through when life takes the wrong turn and losing the ones you love. I do not worry about death anymore. My main goal is to live life to fullest and go as hard as I can. Happiness is waiting for you. Push through the hard times the best you can.

I have a partner, a little Covid rescue pup, a job, a home, and I’m sober. Life isn’t perfect, but I am safe and content. I miss my old self and my old life, but I’m not stuck there anymore. I’m looking forward to the next chapter. I feel like I’ve lived 10 lives in this lifetime, some good and some bad. But I have never been so aware when the current life is OVER as I am now. So I mourned it, and now I’m looking forward to this new chapter after awhile in the hazy in between ❤ PS I also lost my mom to su!cide and it’s hard to find people who understand. Find people who get it, and talk with them. It’s helpful. I did group grief counseling and I’m glad I did.

Don't be silly. 33 is plenty young enough so get yourself in gear and get on with it. I started over at 40 after a divorce, got wiped out again at 54 when the second wife died of cancer. Now 61 and no, at my age I'm not starting over a third time. Selling the house next year and hitting the road alone. I no longer have the nesting instinct, and grateful for it. To love is to know pain, the two are inseparable.

Good luck for your trip

hey, I've been looking into the van life myself lately & came across your content. I'm super sorry to hear about your situation with your marraige, I'm at the start of a similar journey. It's an incredibly sad/lonely time. But I think that everything happens for a reason, and that if we keep doing our best everyday, things can only get better & better. Take care

Loneliness can be so painful. I understand the desire to film yourself. Being able to talk to a camera is like Tom Hanks talking to Wilson in Castaway. One feels less alone. You’ll get through this. Life is about overcoming obstacles. Continue striving for your independence and take it one day at a time. True love tends to materialize when we’re not looking for it.

Hi Lidia. I’m here in the UK 🇬🇧. Oh you don’t have to tell me about how life can be pretty 💩 at times. I’m full time caregiver to my 2 Disabled adult sons and believe me life can be very difficult and stressful…… but while we have a breath in our bodies we should just keep plodding through it all 🤷‍♂️. Just remember that you have a lot of people from all over the world who are very much behind you ❤. Give yourself time to Grieve though,nobody likes to be alone but going into a relationship because we feel lonely doesn’t always work out very well,you will find someone but when the time is right. You are a extremely attractive strong woman and the perfect person is out there ❤

I feel ya ,had the divorce at 39 ,took my 2 kids with the clothes on our backs, I got us self help housing for a year or 2 , got a job tree trimming, worked hard ,things eventually got better . As an amputee it was extremely hard climb. Got a new home my kids are raised. Moral of the story ,never give up . Good things come to good people.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story! You are an inspiration for people like myself

Lidia, I love your videos. I recently lost my dad and am taking care of my mother, which I have no regrets. The times that say you're down and fixed the problem. Shows the rest of us that it can be done. And be done alone with out a spouse.

Be careful living on the road. Also, I wanted to offer you some encouragement. I started my new life at 37. Had a bad time in my life up to that point, but when things happened for me they happened very quickly. I found the right partner (same age as me), we had our first baby at 40 years old, our second at 42. We bought our first house (in California) at 43, and we have discovered through our interactions with other parents that many of us started our families at an age that used to be thought "old." In the Hispanic culture there is this unnecessary pressure to "adult" by a certain age, but economic realities are undeniable. You can't grow a family until you are solidly grounded yourself, economically, emotionally. Focus on your continued growth. The universe will open up for you. It is a gift to struggle when you are young.

Thank you so much Michelle 😭❤️

I love that your doing this by yourself. I have a 85 vw vanagon my self here in Utah and I give you so much credit and praise for living and making things work in your van. I also have a 70 vw baja beetles and before I got my van I was sleeping in that vw with my daughter and 2 dogs at one point. I always say at least I did it in style. Love the van and the fridge idea. I don't have the head banger cabinets but I like how you did it and styled it. Us girls got this 🎉 keep it up it will pay off sooner then you think. The worst always comes before the storm- from another female vw friend! Stay safe!

El Cajon? My hometown!

Yeah! That’s were California Westys is at :)

i love your "one less Sprinter" bumper sticker, i want one hahaha. anyways, i hope you get everything you want. i hate that so many of us vanlifers are traumatized. so many of us dont really choose this lifestyle, but are forced into it. i'm in a van with my partner after not being able to lock down an apartment. we have no savings, both work minimum wage. i had lost my very well-paying job not long ago, i had to rehome my household pets, i had to sell my horse. i was very lucky and blessed less than 2 years ago and now i'm houseless and scraping by. can't really drive too much cause of gas prices. things will get better. for all of us. i wish the absolute best for you! i throughly enjoy your content and always watch to the end. keep it up! xxx much support from Toronto, canada!

Hi Lidia, I am just on the gym making cardio while watching your videos for motivation, and to improve my english too. Thanks!

I love your channel content I'm William a psychologist for women and I've been watching your channel for a while I rarely speak but I just wanted to say a word of encouragement God is out there and he's willing to help us get through things if you just go to him and talk to him counselors are great therapists like myself serve a purpose but a relationship was God can change everything and feel you like no person can!

Amen. I know I am familiar with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God.

Girl, you are still young. I’m sorry you are going through a tough time but try starting over at 60!!!! 😂😂I started over at 37 and then again at 60! It’s hard at any age but at least your chance of finding love again are much higher. Stay positive! ❤

Lidia, your story is truly inspiring. I admire your courage and determination to move forward despite the challenges you have faced. Your positive attitude and focus on happiness are an example to us all. I am sure you will achieve great things in your life. Keep going!

Heyyy Lidia, just happened to come across this video and I have to say I appreciate your authenticity. Life is so full of ups and downs and we never know what's gonna happen or where it will take us. It looks like you drove by my old stomping ground in Pacific Beach 13:59. I used to live a block away on La Playa for 5 years and it was one of my best experiences.

You went through a double trauma. A divorce and a traumatic death. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself plenty of time to heal. You are still young. Don't compare yourself to other people or give yourself unrealistic timelines. One step at a time, one day at a time. 💛

I also lost my father in the same year… so I am still going through that as well 😢

That sounds a bit harsh, sorry: If you're not earning enough with the videos in your Prime, you'll have to think up and build up another business now. You can't wait until you're 38

Biggest hug with love 🌹❤️ Best of luck. We will be here always.

I subscribed because I can tell how genuine you are and humble! Keep up the good work and it will all work out you for!

Everybody needs a Guillio (I don't know if I wrote this correctly) ! You are such a rightful human being and I am glad you start over even if life has been hard. Seeing people with the same energy give me so much hope. I wish you a lot of love

Awesome video as always Lidia Rico. Don’t forget Lidia Rico there is always someone with you during the bad times and the good times God is always by your side to watch over you and comfort you when times are tough. And you’ll find yourself a partner who truly understands you and cares deeply for you just around the corner because you are a gorgeous woman and you’ve got a beautiful personality.

Well done to you for taking steps to start over, bless you!❤

God bless you, wonderful video and a bright future ahead 👏🙌🏽

I believe in you, Lidia. You've got the right attitude and as long as you see it through, you're only going to move forward. Hope to randomly run into you, especially if you ever visit NYC

I’m sorry for what you are going through. I hope things end up working out really well for you. Also I wanted to say dang you are freaking gorgeous!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 Thank you for striving through the pain. You're an inspiration xx

You're doing great, just keep giving yourself time. Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel.

Lidia you are wonderful you really gave me a pick me up with that music and your hair frizzed out just looks cool and your home in that Van is so you. First time watching you stay strong and positive you will start feeling again. I believe the very best for Miss Lida and choose Life always Joey.

I pray God makes a way for you and continue to strengthen you through these times

Lidia, You are an incredible woman. Keep your head up and your eyes forward. Just as everything can change in the blink of an eye - so it can also change for the better. You are still young and living a dream ( Imagine at 50 looking back at where you are now, and you will probably remember a few things fondly and regret nothing ) Keep at it . The best is yet to come.

Thanks for your vulnerability. Finding your video at 5am has given me the power to upload a video I made last week about losing a friend to an untimely death. In this video I’m asking viewers how they deal with death because I want to get better at it… thanks Lidia ,

thank you Sio much for sharing. Death is part of life, it doesn't mean dot is not painful but certainly is as normal as anything else. It's important to grief our love ones and accepting our journey through the pain we feel when they are gone

Your videos are great. I see myself vanlifing in a VW in California soon, your videos are helpful in showing me places I would like to go. Maybe one day I'll see you on the road.

Love the authenticity and vulnerability in this video. The world lacks honesty and people speaking there truth. Good luck and god speed on your journey!

I just want to give you a huge bear hug and tell you that everything is going to work out 😖💞 First time coming across your channel and I am going to be including you in my daily prayers. Sending you endless healing energy and love.

I just want to give you a virtual hug from a traumatized non van life 30+ year old person. Its okay to not be where you thought you would be. Its okay to start over. What happened to you would make any person struggle to get back on your feet, you underestimate how strong you actually are for pushing through. Wishing you the best.

Lidia, I sincerely trust and pray you are surrounded with all the love and support you require to grow through this chapter of your life. Amplified love to you nomad. Watching from Sri Lanka.

Wish you all the best, liked the video. I had to start all over at 40 few years back, so don't worry you still got time. Life is a beautiful thing even it has its hard moments. Bless you.
