Your car chat melted my heart and I totally get it going through the same timeline as you with marriage and divorce just 6 months ahead. In a LDR with a stellar human bean and having that space to personally grow resettle and recenter with the privilege of dating someone so upstanding. Thank you for your vulnerability and realness. Always here for you authentically when you can present that side. Your life is not for our entertainment but it's a honour to share in what we can. 🌸🌻

well said and ty for your vulnerability, it's admirable how you're able to speak freely on your experiences.. please keep sharing on the codependency-conditioned behaviors aspects

Loved the car chat on codependency! A previous therapist of mine once told me that codependency is the inability to sit with the discomfort of others. As someone who takes responsibility for other people’s feelings, and assumes that I’ve done something wrong this really resonated with me and has really changed the way that I look at my relationships and how I react to others!

I'm finally gonna say it since you mentioned the toilet ... Close the lid. Close the lid. Close the lid. Keep it closed. Germs. Loved this vlog.

The new mic sounded great! Watching your growth is so nice. I’m an OG from way back and this version of our girl is the best yet. Thank you.

Codependency is so sneaky, I am glad you have a therapist that you feel comfortable with, and open to her suggestions. Lots of love, I hope your neighbor party was fun. ❤❤❤

The new mic is perfect! Thank you for that car chat! You help more people than you know, including me!

Completely relate to your chat about NPD and codependency. I'm so sorry that was your experience. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

You are so epic and I am so glad I found you. I’ve been a fan for a while when I lived in LA and was lonely I found comfort in your blogs. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I really appreciate it

I am so happy she shared this with you and that you could share this with us! I think its a very underrated part of a young relationship. Thanks for sharing!

Please do more videos on psychology and God. You had so much faith during one of the most difficult times anyone can go through. That’s what brought me to here after your divorce. I find your mental strength very inspiring

Enjoyed the car chat. Getting the codependency diagnosis can be a game changer. I'm so glad you're on the journey and doing the work. A must-read is the book Codependent no more by Melody Beattty. A wise counselor I once had said that she believes around 75% of all Americans are codependent. Walking out of it is a journey and takes time. It's so rewarding and life-giving. You're doing it!

Hi Michel. Thank you for the car chat. It's very humbling how you willingly expose vulnerable parts of yourself for the sake of helping others, especially when most partners of a narcissist are unaware. The sound quality was good to me. Take care!

Thanks for sharing! On the lanterns you could’ve used remote controlled candles. They flicker and change colors. You really are growing right before our eyes!

Thank you for being honest and open about your body changing and the fact that it’s a POSITIVE thing! You go!

Oh yes, from the little I know it was obvious you were putting 100% and more of the effort, that unhealthy frame can be seen through the lens of co-dependency for sure. One of the most liberating thing about my relationship with my husband is that I genuinely never have to people please him. The good things we do for each other come from the heart.

I would love more videos on things you have learned from therapy or things like that. I was also in a 6 year relationship (same age as you) and it's been hard to break through those patterns

So happy to see your growth! I always look forward to your videos as you are uplifting and kind!

Brilliant car chat! Keep them coming. So valuable...a really important topic to explore.

Thanks, Michel! I love your heart-to-heart chats:) I am going though a similar life situation to you and your openness to talk about your journey has helped me not feel so alone.

Thank you for sharing on codependency. That really resonated with me and was something I needed to hear. Thank you!!! XXOO

Thank you for sharing the topic of codependency ❤

This car chat was sooo inspiring! I have never gone through anything like that, but I have several friends who have experienced rough relationships. Your words put so much wisdom and knowledge about things that many have never been able to put into words. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow I absolutely love your new rug! ❤

Love the car chat, felt really called out on that, never realized that full definition and how it applies to me after leaving my relationship with my family. Thank you for being so open and explaining it so well and clearly 😊❤

Michel -- thank you for this community you have created and continuing to find ways to make it work for YOU and your purpose. Due to the busyness of day-to-day life, I find myself ignoring most of the vlogs that come across my feed except for one account... yours. Thank you for constantly showing up for your viewers and modeling how vulnerability and awareness are traits we can all benefit from having more of. What can I say, I am just so grateful for the career path you chose! Sidebar: I am needing a new daily cleanser, but I am nervous about the Algae Extract and Sesame listed in the ingredients' list for the OSEA cleanser you use since these are pore-clogging ingredients. Are you still loving the OSEA ocean cleanser as your daily cleanser? Also, new mic FTW!

Slow morning are fantastic I have every Friday off for myself day. I make it a point to have a slow morning on that day coffee and breakfast time to watch something I love it's the best thing I have done for myself. You have been doing great with the apartment.

I think the soft eyeshadow liner look is beautiful on you!

Wow I’ve been working through something so similar and that makes so much sense. Definitely was co dependent in the past and now I’m hyper independent and learning who I am along the way.

I love the new mic it sound clear and no echo!

Thank you Michel, I really needed this car chat today.

Michel!! I’ve been watching your videos forever and my whole job is revolved around Home Depot lighting products so this was such a funny surprise and I really appreciate the insights you shared in this video😂

So sweet Michel, loved the vlog ❤ can’t wait to hear about neighbor party! Pants looked great and mic sounded awesome!

Hi Michel good morning happy Sunday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

Love your channel 💕

Hi Michele! Im a greasy lady at times too, my go-to is the half-do, where you put the top part in a pony, and tie it on the top of your hair. I also do a slick higher bun! (Lately the higher bun is my signature late 20s look)

The new Mic 🎤🎙️is the best!!!! No sound difference that I can detect…Enjoy the new freedom of a small mic!!

Your therapist has probably already recommended Codependent No More… but I second that recommendation! ❤

Yes i have co dependency. Th devotional book help me a lot and book too. Lily Collins uses devotional book and gratitude journal. My friendship and relationship are healthy now. I want to go back therapy.

I love how organised you are so would really like to see how you manage your computer work. I’m not super organised so like to learn new methods and your planning by the hour sounds good inspiration! Great mic. Much clearer sound! Thanks for the car chat. I can see my own patterns so great myth buster! X Learning this can mean you make healthier choices and growth ❤ x

Lanterns can be found at craft stores. Also check at target. In the dollar spot. Plus you can get remote control candles😊

Hi, Michel and Happy Saturday!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖🎇👍

Sony mic sounds great, less background noise and less echo!! Your doing great!

We totally need that recipe for protein zucchini muffins !!! Also ikea has some great lantern options !

I like your new mike better very clear, Thanks for your car chat your helping lots people with your honesty.🙏

I really loved this video's car chat. and I am going through something similar. I was very codependent and now i'm daing someone that will be moving long distance soon and I think it will really help me. Thank you for sharing your experience on this topic and please share other things you learn over time on this topic if you feel comfortable :)

My husband and I were long distance before we got married, I feel the same way, I had been in a bad relationship earlier in life and I believe us being long distance was what I needed at the time for our relationship to succeed

New mic sounds amazing!!! ❤

Appetizer from DC restaurant I have served many times. Chopped liver pate (buy at most deli's), cream cheese, chopped onion, caviar, chopped hard boiled egg. Serve with melba toast. Arrange each ingredient on a single platter in a mound and serve with melba toast. Or for dinner party arrange on a salad plate for each guest. They can make their own combinations on toast.

Your car chat gave me so much to think about, and research. I love my fiance so much, and am so happy with him, but we are definitely in a codependent relationship and it's on me, so I wanna see what I can do to help that. Also, the new mic sounds great. 💜

i think the pony looked super cute!

Yes, remove that towel rack above toilet and put up a shelf or two. Can't wait to see what you work out for the lighting situation in bath.

When you said you were getting lanterns I immediately envisioned three of them, but all at different cord lengths/heights as I think that would be more elegant, add more visual interest, and capture those spa vibes you were after. Just a thought! Also re: codependency - there's nothing to be ashamed of there. I definitely have those tendencies as well, and the power of recognizing that situation when it's happening and evaluating what that means for the future of that relationship is invaluable. The old cliche knowledge is power is so pertinent there. So happy for you for all of your personal growth!

the new mic sounds amazing!! I'm actually so impressed

Thank you for that definition. It's a difficult concept to accept for sure. Harder to get through when inside the relationship. 🥴 love watching your videos 👐

Thank you for the car chat 💘 I talked about codependency too in therapy and it’s amazing how uneducated I was about it. It’s hard to share what we talk about in therapy too, so sending love for this video. Also I just got the ECM G1 too for my Sony ZV-1 and it’s amazing, I’m so glad you got it too💕 wireless, compact, what more can you ask for!

Michel- they sell light bulbs that screw into fixtures and pendants or wallsconcws that can be turned off/on w a wireless remote.

New mic is crystal clear!!!!

I can recommend lanterns with candles for your bathroom. You can get really nice hanging shades moroccan style that would give a beautiful atmosphere in that area.

Use those battery remote candles, the Flickr is so relaxing and safe.

the new mic is great!😍

The mic sounds nice and clear! In regards to trying new eyeliner techniques, I’ve seen one on TikTok where you tab some mascara onto your nail and swipe it where you want it and then it helps when you join it up to create a nice neat line. The application I’ve tried and it worked surprisingly well, however, my technique for joining it up isn’t the best but you might have a better shot at it than me 😂

Hi so glad you are doing pottery and can't wait to see new projects. You can find some great items on QVC they always have lanterns and battery operated lanterns and great stuff . Max is cute as ever so more kisses from me please.

i feel u on ur car chat. im going through all of that right now with my divorce and realizing that was what i was going through as well.

Michel, you’ve come SO FAR 🥹🙌‼️ Finding a Therapist that talks BACK honestly is SO important and Life changing when you listen and put into action how you can get where you want to go in your Life 💯💪 And you’re absolutely right about God bringing to you EXACTLY what you need 🥹🙄🙏✝️ I love when you talk about how important God is in your Life! I would love to know what your week is like as far as your Spiritual Life. I’m reconnecting to God through the darkest days I’ve ever experienced. Just full of anxiety and fear. So anything you could share would be greatly appreciated (IF you’re comfortable discussing this topic sometime) Sending Hugs & Blessings to you, your Family (including the puppy 🐶), and of course Jordy‼️❤️🥰💋

Michel try using a fine tooth comb to slick back your hair into your ponytail hopefully this helps 🙂

I am SO SO SO a big fan of "You" and adore it all. I do tend to like darker things, but overall, I just love how it shows the different dimensions of a stalker and how our perceptions of people aren't always right. Also, LOVE your jeans! Furthermore, I thought the new mic provided a richer sound but wasn't too drastically different either. I say go for it!

Michel, i dont know if you have a hobbylobby near but i bought 3 outdoor glass laterns. 2 things to think of is the fake candles that have a remote work great and another thing to look at is amazon they have some has small puck lights that are stick on that are to go under cabinet wireless and have a remote. So there are 2 options you might check instead of the lighting with the pucks be shooting down turn them up toward the ceiling for a relaxing light while relaxing in the tub....oh and p.s. you can put a picture over your tub or even a cute little shelf with maybe some litle fake green cuculllents. Oh and to the other day the had the candles in a nice cset on amazon for very cheap. I think there were like maybe 6 in a package for 19.00 but it might of been on of those deals.Good luck!

Hi, Michel! The new mic sounds fine. Thanks for talking about co-dependency. It made me realize I do some of the things you mentioned. I need to research the subject. On a different note, try looking at craft stores for ideas for the tub space. Hobby Lobby has tons of baskets and items for the home- at great prices, too! They carry Christian books, too. There is also Michael's craft store. Have a good week! 🌞
