The whole “ I reserve the right to change my mind” has been life changing I started saying that to myself and others after you talked about it and it honestly feels so freeing in a way. Hopefully that makes sense!

Your energy is soooo cozy. I love the way you talk to both yourself and to your audience. It’s such a great mixture of healthy, soft, real, and still fun/entertaining.
As someone very happily married for almost 10 years, the “what if there’s better out there” sounds like a question from someone very young/inexperienced. Loved your answer - Speaking from experience, when you know you know and you don’t wonder that!! You know what you have is perfect for you ❤️
I know you say a lot of changed but it’s so inspiring to know how fast life can change and it’s so exciting that you just never know what is planned ❤
as fellow musicians/content creators -- LOVE the explanation of Jordy's career!!!!! this is so so hard for family and friends to understand sometimes, so he is so so lucky to have a partner in life that not only is doing something similar but also fully supports and respects what we loves!! 💖💖
I love the honeymoon mentality once you get home for another week! It's sweet and intentional. Also, how great will it be to have grandparents in the back yard for half the year by the time y'all have babies?! Can't wait to see all that's to come!
You and Jordy both deserve all the wonderful celebrations that come with a wedding. Especially a bridal shower, a co-ed shower is very popular! You guys are such a cute couple and so very thoughtful and giving towards your family and friends. I’m sure they would love to celebrate you both! What a great blog that would be!
I'm so glad I'm not the only who experiences anxiety like that. It comes from nowhere sometimes and I have no idea why!

I get that too, I feel it's mostly hormonal and our bodies as women go through cycles and sometimes those levels get disrupted.
Awe Michel, I had a similar journey and a second marriage as well. One thing I had forgotten, as I too felt I did not deserve a second wedding or showers and such...but what I had not thought of is that my husband (fiance, at the time) had never been married. He deserved so many of those things too. The wonderful family and friends around us blessed us as if it were the first wedding for the two of us. Indeed, it was! You Michel deserve everything wonderful...as this is your dream now with Jordy. Be Blessed, have joy, reach for the stars and enjoy the journey. You are greatly loved by many!
It's amazing how happy and sunny you are in your corner of the interne. I can't imagine how disheartening negative comments can be, I personally have never understood the need to leave a rude comment. That's why I always post positive comments, because you never know how the person reading them is feeling that day 🤍 I'd rather my comment be a pick-me-up instead of a knock-me-down!

The best way I have found to deal with anxiety is prayer, whenever I start to feel anxious and I don't really seem to know why or where it's coming from I just pray for God's protection, guidance, peace etc, I always feel better afterward, knowing that everything is out of my hands and in his control has helped me a lot over the years
I love the grace with which you handled some of these questions. Best wishes for this new chapter in your life.
Such an interesting discussion! I love how chilled you are in this video, and how you are simultaneously frank and polite about answering personal questions. And I love 'I reserve the right to change my mind'! 🙌

To be honest I think you’re answering to much of a personal questions I.e personal finance. I know you want to be transparent but…..
As a gal married to a musician, my mum had the same questions about my now-husband getting a real job 🙃 and while it’s such a stereotype that musicians are ‘poor’, and we’re certainly not wealthy, my husband has made a consistently good income and has the best work ethic of anyone I know. We all choose to do life differently and to others that might be hard to comprehend, but life is so wonderful when shared with the right people, regardless of their chosen career direction 😊 sending you much love from Australia! 💕
You deserve all of these happy changes 💗 I love seeing how happy you are in work, family, friends, and love. Congratulations ❤️
I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!
Always love a good q&a! I also love that you openly say that your thoughts and feelings can change because ain’t that the truth of being a human.
I am really excited about this new chapter of your life! I am glad you are taking us along.
Jordy is the sweetest. I can’t imagine better for the two of you. So happy for you both about everything to come
Thank you for this video! You're mindset and views on life are so healthy and inspiring 💖
Wow, so many personal questions! I always feel that we should all appreciate how much you do share with us, versus always pushing for more. None of what you spoke about in this video is any of our business, but thank you so much for including us in so much. You are spot on when you say you have the right to change your mind. Of course you do!! You have a right to do whatever you want without needing anyone’s permission! Your life, your rules! 😊 ❤
Love your q&a’s! I had a similar “all the life-changes at once” year in 2021 when I got married, and the year and a half after that was so still and calm. It felt amazing and praying your 2024 is similar!
Just wanted to say that you deserve everything that makes you happy, no matter what happened in the past ❤ you are a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for inspiring us 🥰
The Jordy job question seems rude. Ugh…..you did a great job answering! 😘
Please continue to protect your privacy & safety. Thanks for sharing. So excited for everything that’s happening in your world right now. God is good all of the time. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ life is an amazing journey, keep being you!!!
I'm so glad you're thinking about having everything you want at your wedding! I was so sad when you said you should hold back since it was your 2nd. You deserve to celebrate your love!
I am living for the side eye from Max while you answer questions about Jordy's income/finances. 😄
The amount of time doesn't matter, Michel. I'm twice your age and have been single the majority of my life. Believe me, when you know the person is right for you both of you will feel it. You're friends and family will also let you know if something isn't right. ❤
So happy for you and I wish a life and a marriage full of joy and love and light ❤
It takes years and years of dedication to become a musician and anyone who has accomplished the feat of getting paid to be one is living the dream. Also such a cute idea of having a split honeymoon with half just being at home but still "off the grid." So cute ❤
Michel you deserve all the happiness! And you deserve a hen party! Just try to frame this in your mind differently like a party with your friends celebrating your marriage. A clean slate 😊 you deserve a hen, a beautiful wedding, and a beautiful life together with your husband. All the best ❤
Celebrate your wedding the way you want. Do what makes you happy🎉 the past is just a lesson learned and now you chose better❤
I absolutely love how you respect jordy so much❤️❤️❤️
Sending love to both of you!!
Everything sounds wonderful and you met Jordie at the perfect time, when you know you know. I'm so very happy for both of you and wish you the best of luck, love and happiness always! Enjoy the amazing adventure you're on! ❤
Would love to see wedding related content such as dresses and decorations! Congratulations to you both!
1000% understand if this is too personal, but I would love to see a video about the real finances and budget behind buying a house and having a wedding in the same year. How much were you able to save vs. how much you’re financing, what % down payment you had, has Jordy also been saving for a down payment/planning on buying a house like you were, etc. Had you been saving for a wedding even though you didn’t know the timing of your engagement? I’m just trying to figure out the answers to all these questions for myself lol, so anything you’d be comfortable sharing would be lovely 💕
So excited to watch your video, ughh about right timme ❤much love 💗
I love you guys!! 🥰
Welcome back!
Thank you for the calm
Never been so thrilled for a couple before. Best of luck!
Thanks so much for sharing. I wish you the very best with all these exciting changes and moments of peace.
Your energy is contagious! The anxiety coming out of nowhere happens to me, too. It can be overwhelming. Try ice on the back of your neck and deep breathing (4 in, hold for 4, 4 out!) for those episodes. They are two coping mechanisms from my therapist that help with random anxiety.
I’m really excited for all the content that you have coming up 🫶! Where is the green square neck sports bra/long tanks you wear often from?
You look so beautiful and happy! I trust that you and Jordy have everything figured out plus you seem to have great parents who have taught y’all well about life so I thank you will do fine in whatever you choose to do. I do hope you will share photos of your wedding day with all of us but if you I surely understand but it would be cute to see a picture of Max with you on that day.
I love when you mentioned that you have no regrets this time around with the relationship. Also I think going on a short honeymoon is a great idea and than maybe you could also go on a short vacation a year later around your 1st anniversary.

Good Q & A, Michel. I used to think you appeared so confident and relaxed. I realize now we were sometimes watching how good an actress you are. Today you are truly confident. And when you feel less confident and anxious, you let us know so we aren’t second guessing you. As you were putting on your makeup, I was thinking your reconstructed nose may be a contributing factor. I know you went through a lot with that surgery, but it appears to have been worth it, beautiful, lady!

I am so happy for you and Jordy Michel! You must be so excited for this new chapter! That question about Jordy getting a real job really irked me, that's so rude and no ones business! Also adds to the stigma that husbands have to be the sole provider. Us women can handle our own and pay for ourselves too!
Although I understand some of the questions I do sometimes wonder if people are watching enough of your videos 😂you financially supporting yourself you don’t need Jordy to do that so I love that you answered that 2 independent individuals with fun jobs they make money doing coming together to create a life together jointly ❤ I’m so excited for you both and I’m so glad you found each other. Love your moving decisions sounds a lot simpler and requires less energy it’s going to be a wild 8 months ❤

I agree, it doesn't seem like those comments are coming from longtime followers or people who watch a lot of her videos. They almost sound like comments a casual friend or almost stranger would make. Obviously I'm a stranger, too LOL but I have enjoyed Michel's content for a long time and think I could have guessed at her answers about some of those questions. Some of them sounded pretty rude and although I understand curiosity, I just know I would never say those kinds of things to one of my real-life friends.
I hope Jordy is safe from the storm in California. Sending good vibes to you both. Xoxo 💕 it's hard to believe there's a better mate than Jordy. He's your person!❤
I feel overjoyed for you & Jordy! Thank you for sharing yourselves with us! 😘
You announced you were moving forward with a divorce in Nov 2021. Filed around Jan/Feb 2022, final in April. You were still technically married when you and Jordy met. Nothing wrong with that, but that's definitely not 6 months post divorce.

@@alexistsukino9459 Generally its because they know the truth looks bad. And if they lie about this, the only question is what else do they lie about. Lying takes 3 forms, not just the overt lie. Lying by omission. Lying with extraneous irrelevant information. Like referencing Jordy's "gross income" instead of his net income, which is the only thing you can spend. He's touring alone. Oh great. A touring musician, unchaperoned. So maybe the infidelity will make up for the low income.
I’m still so excited LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Michel, I believe the tough time you had in your previous relationship, prepared you for Jordy. You know what is unacceptable and you know what it was like being treated disrespectfully. Listening to those songs Jordy wrote for you shows his deep love and respect he has for you. Also, it shows clearly, that he will move heaven and earth, to ensure you both have a good life. It is also evident how much respect you have for him, his music, and how much you truly love him, and I believe you will move heaven and earth to ensure you both have a good life. Marriage is a partnership, friendship, as well as love, it’s a team effort. Cheering for you both as always.❤
Nonsense you deserve it all! Pretend it’s the first time and have fun💜💜
Love your channel 💕
Thank you for the video and for sharing about Jordy's job. That question was oddly worded, but I do find that topic interesting!
Very happy for you 😁 My new husband (in 17 days!) Was married before and we met 6 months after his divorce. He proposed a year and 3 months into our relationship. When you know you just know! Xx
For a fun video, can you do an updated hair care and styling routine? Your hair at the end of the video is stunning!!
I love you girlie❤

@@MichelJanse No problem. I have had a couple of pivotal people in my life that have helped guide me through processing and healing in ways that my therapist couldn't. Learning that trauma responses aren't cookie cutter, textbook, and are experienced differently by everyone, has been really helpful for me.
Believe me when you have kids your content will be mostly about them and what they need, because your everyday life will only revolve around them😊😅❤

Michel, you are such a good person. You're so kind and thoughtful and just overall so great. I was having the worst day and stress/anxiety was high. I saw you posted and I dropped everything so I could sit and chill with you and it's what I needed. Sorry if this is too mushy but I'm emotional from the day, I feel better now and wanted you to know. ❤
Hello! I always watch you 🤭 Question, how do you do your matcha? I am trying to also incorporate matcha for the evening 🍵
Im confused, if your parents decided before you were born to call you Michel, why were you named Christiane??
Highly recommend Paleovalley’s Beef Organs for all womens health… especially when it comes time to TTC :) later of course!
I'm so happy for you to finally be able to plan out your life! 😊 I'm excited for you! On a side note, since you love the Parisian style, check out professional makeup artist Andreea Ali. She's very sweet like yourself. You will love the pastries when you get there. My sister lives in France.
Exciting to hear of all the plans coming up for you!
Is there better out there?! I don’t think so! Jordy is such a great match for you! From the first details about your very first date it’s clear how incredibly thoughtful and in tune with you that he is. I’m so happy for you that you found each other!
I love the name Christiane - my friend in Germany has this name and when I was pregnant this name was on my list . I never heard it pronounce in English . Sending love from Florida 🦩🐬❤🐳
Love the vlog! How do I access Jordy's song, 21? I can't find the KZread account!
