Experiments on creating a fulfilling life.
I thought I was on track then life stuff happened and I became ill (and largely house bound). I had to rethink what was possible and start saying no to a lot more so that I could deliberately and intentionally say yes to the things that matter.
I'm both documenting the journey (should you be in that situation) and sharing what I have learnt along the way.
Current projects include;
- sharing who inspires me to keep going - yep, fallen down the Ren rabbit hole lately!
- publishing a book called 'Journalling With Cartoons' launch on October 14th 2024
- daily videos documenting the creative journey as I try to figure out what my 'dream' life is!
- creating a TH-cam channel!
- daily cartoons (stick people - me! - loving words that express me better than I could! See Instagram)
I have to believe it is possible for someone like me (and you!) to create and contribute and have a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I love how you’re sharing it all. Pressure is so easy to get caught up in and we often don’t realise it. I also sometimes think that all this marketing advice, ‘it needs to solve a problem for people’ can become a big hindrance for creatives. Because they get too caught up in future audience reception instead of just taking the risk and following their gut. Any kind of art is for the soul and doesn’t need to make any sense at all or teach something. That’s what I believe.
@@anjakersten I just shared a reaction video where I blubbed again. Oh boy! I spent several hours wondering if there was anything of it I could share! I had to remind myself that the goal was for me to be fully self expressed and find my people not make stuff and find anyone!!! (I also realised the crying is a part of me that I feel is too much for others, interesting eh?)
Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. You will do it when you do it. Don't think.
Having had negative experiences with Doctors myself and one traumatic experience. I understand your reservations Joanne. Although, I think doctors are better than they used to be. Plus we as patients are getting better at advocating for ourselves too.
The only person who can advocate for your health is you. Ask the questions. Sometimes if you don't speak up you get nothing. Doctors are not authority figures. It's not as if you'd go to jail for bringing up a concern. You can do this!
@@ultraredd I’m beating myself up cause I thought I was past this …. Maybe it’s just resistance playing tricks on me …. Still, this is the experience of trying to make something and have a life
@JoanneWhitlock All any of us can do is our best, whatever that looks like. I hope your daughter's feeling better.
@ thank you
I loved listening to this version of Creep, because I really enjoy listening to Radiohead and love the original track, plus I and am a massive Thom Yorke fan. I love the way the mother in her and her sons version is trying to pass on Indian singing traditions and the idea of belonging coming from having connection to the earth through caring for animals, appreciating the world around us by being out in the world everyday; and through service to others.
@@bethstratton3391 it’s beautiful isn’t it!
Lol, I am glad to hear that I'm not the only procrastinator. I am happy to report the I have perfected the art of procrastinating in countless ways.
@@anjakersten I’ve just recorded six videos after doing this daily video! So, clearly the way to get me to hit record is to have a book to write! (Oh, and I also built a shelf unit and sorted my cleaning supplies …. That’s pretty extreme avoidance!)
This was a fun track. Loved the guitar. Music for me is soul food and often a learning experience or a way to feel joy. I could see the joy on your face watching this track 😊
Geeks play, too, you know! And the jobs you create yourself ARE the best in the world. We don't always get paid for them.
I love that it was so transparent how much he was having fun!
I hope your daughter's feeling better. ❤
off to check on her now ...
Have a nice day dont over work your self 😊
Thanks, you too!
Lovely glad you are enjoying your day.
It's good to remind myself that I am doing this because I love it, and the people I get to hang out with!
One thing, just one thing. Lists are great but achievement are the goal. Write a list but star ⭐ the one you will do no matter what. That way you achieve a star everyday and the confidence that everything else is then a plus
I've found that telling myself anything I do on the list is a win helps a lot! That's tough when I really need to finish one thing!!!! Think I know now what I was doing wrong, was thinking a lot about follow up and what I would like to come from completing the book instead of what do I want to say.
@@JoanneWhitlock it’s ok to do that but it is not then a same day task as you did not list it it’s another days task and if the end of the day if it is something you want to follow-up with then star ⭐ it for the next day that way you achieve the plus and you have a new priority for the next that is then achievable.. I learnt the list is great but the Ferness is understanding it does not all have to be done at ones some tasks look better broken down and acheived. Keep going get your own mojo people watch by the way. PS. Don’t forget to give yourself credit even in trying because not trying is an achievement which is a constant on every list along with knowing that today is not the day is an achievement when recognised. I am ill every day I put vacuum the room I am not always well enough to do it so I give myself a Credit for recognising today is not the day.
It does make you cry doesn’t it. It’s beautiful
This is just breathtaking 🥹 I’m not Crying you are 🥹
You CAN do this! Remember, the famous saying, which is totally true: “Procrastination is the thief of joy!” You are a brilliant person so allow yourself to feel the love and sense of accomplishment. 🤗
thank you
Typical, kids always feel "off" when it's time to go back to school. The structure comes back when they are back at school. Holidays mess everything up.
Yep, Soli is poorly and off school today with a temperature. I'm incredibly lucky I can just be home though and be there.
@@JoanneWhitlock Oh No! I hope she feels better soon. We just had to deal with the "over-tired, grumpy, not-used-to-getting-up-at-5:30" nonsense. This, too, shall pass, and then you can do what you need to.
I know the feeling. ❤❤❤
I'm kind of hoping that people will relate to what I share - and it's not just me talking about me! Maybe if we all knew this is what most people go through we wouldn't beat ourselves up for those feelings.
@JoanneWhitlock You are doing something, just not what you planned. You're taking care of your daughter who's not well. She needs her mother. That's important and it counts.
I love your reaction, it's so authentic and wholesome. This song makes my heart happy. I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD & Autism and I find this song soothing to listen to with headphones.
I'm not yet diagnosed but looking into it. The more I learn about the song the more I love it. Want to do a follow up video but have to book a time when it doesn't matter if I cry again!
@JoanneWhitlock yes absolutely do that! I'd love to see it.
Mesmerizing
It doesn't matter how self-sufficient your children are, the house always runs differently when they are around all day. They wander about, raid the kitchen, randomly shout "Mom" when you are in the middle of something...
Beautiful eye's
When we look at our selves it can drag us down. When we look at other good people it lifts us up. If we also thank them for mostly simple easy stuff, it lifts them and the truest saying of all kicks in. "It is better to give than receive." A blessing apon you, daughter of Eve.
Yes! Glad you are feeling more at ease today. I agree connection and appreciation can help us be more comfortable and grateful during our own daily lives. Keep doing your thing Joanne, you got this!
Que adaptacion tan emocionante y estas instancias experienciales de saber lo que crean en otros. Gracias y saludos desde Chile.
Hola desde Inglaterra
This is such a lovely watch, Bell’s tribute is beautiful, and heartwarming, especially for the Renegades. The way she expressed her thoughts from the heart was so generously giving. She has such a melodious voice. It definitely made me smile this bright frosty morning as I look out at the glittering grass in my simple garden. ❤
@@bethstratton3391 for me, there was something in the way that she looked at the camera at certain times, almost like I could see the child part of her connecting with me. A delight!
@ Totally get that. Btw never worry about crying or your reaction being enough. Your reaction was one of connection and that’s the best reaction, to feel so deeply.
I love the mother’s voice and message!
@@beckysanders2935 I’ve been told she is saying you are not alone or you belong …. Do you know more?
@ there is another video where she and her son explain the meaning of the song she sings, the message is totally opposite to the creep lyrics
Just amazing
Thank you!! Such a great interview! The less I've seen of SnakeVenom lately, the more i realise how few reactors out there can give me what i need haha Now he has led me to you! So now I have to see all yours :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Joanne great interview with Billy this was such a genuine conversation. Joanne you always come across as a warm hearted, thoughtful person who cares about your content and is a great listener when interviewing people. Just wanna say that I think Billy and his channel are amazing. Billy always comes across a brilliant, intelligent and empathetic person who knows how to breakdown both music and lyrics. He warms my heart because of the way he communicates with his audience, embracing them with a real sense of full connectedness. I love his passion for music and anime, and the fact he isn’t afraid to lean into his subject matter receptively and wholeheartedly. His Ren and Em reactions are second to none.
I hope he sees this! Thanks for sharing
Stuff the experts! It's that thing about "asking permission". Doing everything the way the experts say leads to standardised content and it's like saying "please, sir, can I do it this way?"
@@MusingMamie I’m so torn cause i love learning and I know I have so much to learn, definitely need to work on discernment!
@JoanneWhitlock I realised that the reason that AI and Chat GPT has been able to take over a lot of content creation is that we devised "standardised" modes of creation with rules and requirements. Without those rigid ideas to mimic, AI would be nowhere near the position it is now. Even before the AI writing apps came to dominance, the commercial writing and business blogs had started to be far too samey. Perhaps I'm ranting.
@ maybe there will be a swing back!
Im so late to this! Watching now as I wait for dinner 😂❤
This song makes me cry. 😢
@@DesmondDevendran2600 yep, I thought I was hiding it well but clearly not!
Hello, would you like to react to Tarzan The Fearless 1933?
The main song is about someone saying “I don’t belong here” and this is juxtaposed with the Hindi duet signing “you belong”. Best cover of Creep ever!
@@marlahendriksson5286 oh wow, I love that! Do you know how I can find out more about what she was singing? Thank you sooooo much for telling me!
@@JoanneWhitlockHi, just go to the original video and look at the 8th comment from the top. It’s by aryanbanarjee3999 and he’s explained it wonderfully.
@ thank you
Ah, Bells is lovely. She's also in Wynand's song for Ren. She also does covers of songs I've never heard of, so as far as I'm concerned, she's the original. Oh, and she covered a song IN ITALIAN the other day. I'm actually kind of in awe of her--so young (did I really say that? Lord, I'm old!) and so accomplished. Be well, Joanne.

❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song. So beautifully sung and yes it makes me cry too. Thank you Joanne, much love and care to you.❤
Thank you, it was supposed to be a quick hit record then film more later! What are you guys doing to me!!!
💚
Oh Joanne! Sorry it makes you crying but I cried with you while watching 😅 I cry really fast so I hope we‘re not getting to emotional by our future chat 🫣😂 Thank you so much for your lovely words! And yes i‘m too so impressed and happy about the Renegades and what kind and lovely people them are 💚💚💚
@@bellsmachtmusik can’t wait to chat more!
DIDN’T READ COMMENTS YET: but for me… I’m chasing that feeling of shock and awe I felt and the chills I felt when I first connected with him…and seeing that same thing happen to someone else… whether it’s REN, which I watch an unhealthily amount of reactions of his work, Billie eilish or 21 Pilots…. Seeing someone mirror and emote what I think I felt lets me reexperience by proxy…. That said, not all REN Reactors are the same…so there are different things I look for in different reactions from technical to emotional to both and the community is amazing.😊
Thank you for your comment, I keep seeing 21 Pilots mentioned so they are on my list to check out!
Good ideas are like good coffee - they need to percolate!
As an ADHD, i completely fell in love with this rendition, so peaceful, so relaxing
When I look at the "trends for 2025" (most of them I will ignore because they don't relate to or have anything to do with me), it was said that shorts help people find their way to your longer content while also giving you the extra viewability on bite sizes. The fact that it is still valuable to you means that what you say has relevance for others - none of us is THAT unique You are keeping yourself honest AND pushing a boundary that's still there for you.
Which reminds me, I haven’t done shorts for some of my interviews must get around to that!
This version is so beautiful!! But I still prefer the original, because the voice is incomparable, but I loved the reaction, congratulations, big hug from Brazil ❤
Thank you, what a kind thing to write.
@JoanneWhitlock I thank you for this incredible and beautiful reaction!!
Are you where you want to be? No? Then the daily video still has value. Not necessarily to me, but certainly to you. Happy midwinter festival, Joanne!
Thank you, I think it feels weird cause it definitely still feels valuable to me but I know it is an indulgence - and not always pleasurable! Lots of inner conflict going on here!!!
I like Mark Manson - I quite like his website and some of the stuff there. I found him via Medium.
I like video podcast/ interviews, I'm struggling with reading at the moment but was a huge book fan before - especially anything personal development related.
So Nice
Thank you
Happy Christmas Joanne. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Thank you, hope you had a great xmas.
