#homevlog #letscatchup #brogantate
I hope you've got a cuppa and snacks; it really is a chatty one today!! I'll be back next Monday for a Home Vlog, and then we're taking a few weeks off for our UK road trip! Thanks for all your love and support, it means a lot to me. B xx
I really hope you got as much out of this chatty vlog as I did Brogan. Sometimes it’s better to say things out loud and let the universe help to clear it. I’m a true believer in mindfulness and karma etc. Love LOVE your tattoo ❤️and it’s even more beautiful as it’s so personal to you. Never feel pressured to supply content, I’ve followed you for many years and you’ve always put so much pressure on yourself to make your channel interesting for all shapes and sizes. We will totally understand if you need to take you time. Just breathe and believe in yourself and how Important it is to us that you are fine, so no pressure gorgeous girl xx
Tokyo Disney is wonderful as well if you’re thinking of a japan trip anytime soon 😊
I’m a school counsellor at a secondary school. And how you spoke about the vase and the cracks and how it represented you was beautiful. Something I will be 100% taking into my sessions with my students. Such a sad but simple way of understanding emotions. Thank you for that, thank you for your honesty and how you present yourself. Watch you from the very start and I remember key things you’ve done, but that saying alone will be one of the top things❤
I just wanted to say how much your openess and honesty about the struggles is hitting home with so many of us. It is so important to talk about all the highs and the lows, and I can only imagine that being a content creator brings so many amazing incredible opportunities, but equally also brings so much stress and pressure. Thank you for being you and remember your feelings are valid. Sending you lots of love, remember to be kind to yourself in navigating grief, grief is love with nowhere to go, and beautiful Bonnie was loved so much ❤
You are not alone! You are doing so so well and are so brave for sharing this process with us all. It makes total sense that your brain would be in a space of overwhelm. Grief takes a long time to process, let alone that overstimulation of the biggest and best few months of your life and the jarring jolt of all those happy emotions and all the sadness all at the same time. I know that my brain fog is at its worst when there has been a lot of change in my life and you’ve had SO much change. It’s good to hear you’re giving yourself the space and grace to process it all. In periods of burnout in my life, the song from frozen 2 “Just do the next right thing” really really helped. Each day; just do the next right thing. We’re all here for you xx
The unconditional love of our dogs is a true blessing that stays with us forever. Your tattoo is a lovely tribute to Bonnie. And I too experienced that “cookie jar” moment. Many years ago during a stressful time I knocked over a ceramic candlestick that I cherished and completely collapsed to the floor crying hysterically. I realized it wasn’t the object that broke but rather how I was feeling broken at the time. I realized that material things can be replaced and I needed to concentrate on my healing. Wanted you to know that I love your vlogs -Disney, cruises, home/hauls. And as a New Yorker, I cannot wait for your UK road trip! I can live vicariously through you. Thank you. Keep smiling 😊
OOOHHH love the tattoo and I'm deffo excited about your future travel plans Brogan.
Your videos are so comforting. It’s like spending time with a friend. Can’t wait for your road trip videos!
I get so excited when your vlogs come out! It’s so special when you share your feelings. You are an amazing person. You and Benj are a special couple and so refreshing❤
Thank you for sharing about burnout. So many people quietly go through it and are scared to speak about it. I'm a teacher, Girl Scout troop leader, and a mom so I have to always keep burnout in check as well. You're so relatable and kind, thank you for that!
Worked a half day today and rushed home to watch!! So good to see you!! 💐🙂🌸🩵
I love your vlogs!! It’s like spending time with a friend. 💗
Thank you Brogan for letting us learn more about the stress of TH-cam and work on your liege. We all send you hugs and loving energy. The tattoo looks absolutely beautiful.
I love watching everything you guys do!! You are both so relatable, and your vlogs make me smile 😊 x
Thank you for your honestly around burnout & grief it’s always refreshing to see the ups & downs of people you’ve watched & rooted for , I hope you are feeling better & make time for you even with your busy life , Bonnie is always looking out for you 🐾💕
Really loved this vlog Brogan ❤ so sorry to hear your struggling a bit at the moment but we’ve all been there at times in our lives. Nothing is permanent, good or bad so we just have to ride the waves and look forward to better days ahead 🥹 really looking forward to your road trip vlogs as we would love to do more travelling in the UK. We did a Cornwall road trip a couple of years ago and loved the variety of lots of new places! Enjoy your trip xxx
Sending lots of love your way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings❤️so many of us have been there and can relate and understand it!
Aww Brogan I can so empathise with you with feeling low and having brain fog, your an amazing lady and we’re all here for you, so love watching your blogs and inspiration sending love and hugs to you ❤️🤗x
Loved a catch up! Thank you for always keeping it real ❤
Oh Brogan my heart broke when you were talking about burn out 😢
I lost someone very close to me recently and the grief just creeps up and hits me like a wave.
Xxx
Please remember your dear friends never leave you xxxxx
As a fellow creative, I completely understand that feeling of extreme burnout and the way that you described it feeling like the cracked jar is so on point! I love that you're always so honest and so real about what's going on and what you choose to share and so proud of you for taking the time you need to step way and recharge/refresh/and refill your cup with what YOU need right now! Trust me when I say that I (as well as the rest of us!) will certainly always be here to root you on whenever you do decide to post or share, thank you for always putting out my favorite content!
Hope you’re feeling a bit better, I can totally relate to what you’re saying about pretending that everything’s fine when you’ve got nothing left in the tank. Love the tattoo, what a lovely way to remember Bonnie. Can’t believe it’s been 5 years in your lovely home! Hope to see you in York on your road trip lots of exciting things to come ❤🚗
Aww bless you you’re so brave being so open about everything. When I lost my dog (and it was two months before my wedding) aw I was a mess. I remember weeks after a custom suit I bought him for our wedding arrived and I sobbed my soul out on the kitchen floor. I honestly think it took me about a year to lose that ache in my body. We had a golden retriever after him (she’s now 6) and you totally find space for them in your ❤, they’re so different , lovely to have a doggy back with us but because I know how painful and raw the loss of a dog is I really appreciate and love our golden even more ❤
Hi brogan,you've been so lovely in letting us in on how you been feeling ,at the end of the day your only human ,I hope the cracks in the vase become filled with all thats coming up in your life ,cannot wait to join you& benji along the way with your vlogs ❤
Thank you for being vulnerable and honest. I hope you are doing well all across the board 😊 Love the new tattoo 🐾 can’t wait for all the future trip vlogs especially as I’m “nesting mode” getting ready for baby boy.
Loved the catch up 💕
Thank you for sharing how you are feeling Brogan, burnout catches up with us without realising and grief is so important to talk aHope you are starting to feel better. You have such a lovely trip coming up ❤ and Disney to look forward to as well 💕.
Thank you for another lovely chatting blog. Since I found your page on TH-cam at the end of last year I have enjoyed so many of the videos and other content that you have posted on here and Instagram. What you said here about the vase really got to me, as to be honest it accurately describes how I feel at the moment. I didn’t realise that was how I felt until you said it. I am hoping this will improve, although probably only with big changes in my life. Fingers crossed when I get there. Thank you again for being so lovely and looking forward to seeing your adventures this summer. Xx
You’re not alone, the way you just described how you have and are still feeling was so relatable. Thank you for this and letting us into how your life has been at the moment. It will get better, time is a great healer. I’ll be honest, when you told us you and benji had sadly lost Bonnie and you said your goodbyes, I had to stop watching for a few weeks because I love my fur baby so much, it’s a day I know will absolutely break me so it was something I didn’t want to think about at the time but I love watching all your videos so couldn’t stay away for long xxx
Fantastic vlog, thank you so much your honesty. 💞💞💞
Hi Brogan,
Your vlogs are so genuine and honest, I just wanted to say thank you for that. I have experienced similar losses as you, and sometimes I feel like it’s so hard to describe, but you said it perfectly when you spoke about the cookie jar. I hope that each day going forward you have more smiles than tears, more laughter with family and friends, and more sunshine in every day. Take care!💕😊☀️
Loved your vlog and the new tattoo and for being open about how burnout affects us.
We are also heading to wdw in January as well so looking forward to going xx
The cookie jar reference really got me in my feels, you could hear how much work was getting to you! You work so bloody hard and give us so much, you needed a break Brogan! Thank you for being so open and honest about the reality, I hear and understand you. Please take time on taking care of yourself and things will get better soon. ❤️ Sending love xxx
The tattoo in memory of bonnie is gorgeous, such a special tribute! 😭🐾
Cannot wait for the UK roadtrip content, but again please do not feel pressure to get them up quick! Take as much time as you need!! 🤍
WDW content Jan 2025!!! YAY! 🏰
What a great catchup video!! 💖
Thank you Lily, I really appreciate that xx
❤ sending hugs, I think we all have days where we just feel so overwhelmed that crying is the best thing to do as a release, same with grief it comes and goes especially as it’s still so new xx
As a tattooist who's followed you for many years, I'm delighted to see you getting your first one, especially in remembrance of Bonnie. Truly truly special and so glad the experience was such a positive one! You will be very tempted for more and that's down to the dopamine release related to getting them and people realising they're never as bad, pain-wise as they usually think! Really glad to see you're taking some time away to recover from burnout - something I'm really trying to do right now. Sending love
Wow the jar thing I have never heard a better representation for mental health! Your not alone and it sounds like your an empath which is wonderful but never apologise for taking time for yourself to decompress, it’s great to help others but also be kind to yourself ❤❤❤sending lots of positive vibes ! Xx
I'm really obsessed with your videos at the moment, I just love how relatable and comforting you are to watch. I've been going to therapy recently as I was like that cookie jar, and in February I disintegrated, so really appreciate your open honesty. Reminds us we are not alone and it's okay to not feel great all the time.
My partner and I have been speaking about travelling and roadtripping so I've been really inspired by your videos! I can't wait to watch the UK road trip vlogs.
Dealing with grief & an intense work schedule..it's no wonder you hit your limit. When my father passed away, I was a manager and could not take time off. I ended up having a full breakdown & being admitted to an inpatient facility. Never would have thought I would end up in that space but it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Our mental health should never be downplayed or overlooked. I am so happy you took the time you need. I adore the Bonnie tribute. Just beautiful! ❤
I hope you’re feeling better Brogan, I love the tattoo, it’s so perfect and meaningful! Sending love❤️
I am, thank you! xx
We lost our blue Frenchie 15 months ago and memories that come up on FB still make me bawl. 🥹We have another Frenchie now who I adore but we never forget the fur babies we’ve lost. ❤❤
Love a chatty car Vlog!! Sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit down. Big hug. Losing a pet is devastating and I think doing wonderful trips, wedding etc is also coming back down to earth after a massive high. You put so much work into all that you do I really appreciate it and just know I couldn't do it!! Take care of yourself ❤😘
Aw Brogan, you’ve been through a lot the last couple of months. Glad you are being kind to yourself and taking the time to get back to your normal self. I always stick the hairspray soundtrack on - always guaranteed to cheer me up. Sending hugs xxx
Such a special “catch up!“. Thank you for your honesty regarding burn out. It’s tough to recover from but it sounds like yoi had help from Adam and others to help you rest and restore❤️❤️❤️
You’ll absolutely adore York! We went for the first time in May and truly fell in love with it. Such a beautiful city with some really friendly people…you’ll love it! 🩷
Wow. The cookie jar. I feel you. Also still a lovely vlog and hope you are continuing to wade through the decision fatigue and general overwhelm. Such an intense season for you, sending heaps of love xxx
Thanks for being so honest! I watch most of your vlogs! You're so natural and kind. Such a great sense of humor you and Benji have and such lovely people. I adored your dog and now i want one even though i have a cat that wouldn't like it at all so i can't...yet! My daughter has autism and i care for her and cannot work. I also cannot travel or visit many places currently so i visit places through watching you guys and it helps take my mind off things however much i love every minute with my daughter. Thanks for all your honest and fun videos. I look forward to many more xx❤
Hey Brogan, thank you for speaking so openly about burnout....a lot of it struck a chord with me and the cracked cookie jar was the perfect representation. I'm so glad to hear that you are taking the time to fill your cup with things that bring you joy. Enjoy ye're road trip, i'm looking forward to seeing what ye get up to. Mind yourself.
Yay! Excited for another video. My husband has come up with multiple alternative names for the two of you including Borgen and Jorgen, Brugen and Birge, and Flotsem and Jetsom. I never know what he will come up with next. 😂
Oh darling, yes I’ve been there and even now there are odd moments when the world is overwhelming. Well done for honestly and sharing how things have been in such a well explained manner. I know you’ll help lots of people x
Ahhh more Disney vlogs 🥰🥰🥰 we last went end of January / first 10 days of February and it was such a good time of the year!
glad your having time out for yourself,i suffer with anxiety and it can be very difficult at times,family are really the best medicine,we also are going back to walt disney world next may/june for 14 nights cant wait as we are taking my daughter and her husband also my grand daughter,take good care of yourself,love and hugs xxxx
Take care of yourself brogan I too can relate to that burnt out feeling
Love this catch up vlog ❤ xx
Lovely vlog Brogan, enjoy these as much as the Disney ones and can't wait for WDW! Thanks for this vlog, excellent. Keep on, keeping on and taking care of yourself and thank you for sharing x I miss my Bonnie-Lass too. Gone about 3 weeks now and blindsided by her loss. Dogs are the best but damn, when they leave us it is cruching. x
Hey beautiful 🤗 thanks for your honesty about how you are feeling - I’m sure lots of people will relate to exactly how you are feeling - the cookie jar analogy was on point. When I feel like you are it makes me feel really anxious and I normally just have to write it all down and prioritise as much as I can and try to be kind to myself. A lot of the time it is down to pressure I put on myself but that’s because I’m not someone that can switch off mentally when I have lots of work. I can imagine you have lots more than me juggling at the same time so I really do hope you’re ok. Sending lots of love - super excited to hear you have a Disney trip planned °o°. Love love love your tattoo 🥺♥️ xxx
29 years on I still grieve for my Bonnie, have never not had a dog in my life since I was 2 years old, I am now 68 years old. All pets leave that paw print on your heart they are so loving and feel our emotions. We all need an unwind and to distance ourselves at times to refresh our senses, closing our eyes in the morning and filling our senses while stood outside listening to every sound we take for granted and taking in the aromas, dew on the grass birds singing etc lol. Love the tattoo it’s beautiful x
Awwww 🥹 xx
I think we’ve all been in that spot where things just kind of hit you all at once. Especially when things are seemingly going well and yet you still haven’t processed other things so it seems to taint anything good and real. I really loved your analogy about the cracked vase. It’s extremely relatable and just fits. We may be strangers on the internet but we’re all here in your corner. You bring us light and I thank you for that!
McD's cheeky lunch and a Brogan catch-up.. BEST LUNCH BREAK EVER 😁 I know how you feel with the brain fog & burnout. The way you described it wiping off your glasses, that's exactly it. Spot on! Hope Benji's holding up with the 'strawberry crying' incidents 😂😂 that made me giggle. Gutted after the drum roll, I was praying for California (pain in the bum aren't we, can never please us all haha) Thanks for a great half hour xx xx
Glad you’re feeling better than you did and really looking forward to the road trip 😊
Hi brogan and Benji , absolutely love your videos , you’re just always so professional . Love the tattoo you had done , so sweet . Nice to hear you visiting Cambridgeshire ,Ely is lovely 😉 . Glad to hear you going to Florida can’t wait for those ones . Can’t imagine not being able to watch you guys of an evening , you really are both so lovingly infectious . Stay well ❤
Yay for a Disney world trip 🎉🎉 we are going in the first quarter of 25 so will be looking forward to seeing what you get up to 🏰
So lovely to see you - you are definitely not alone in how you have been feeling. Thank you for sharing ❤️ it makes us all feel a little more ‘normal’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️xxx
Ps your hair looks gorgeous 😃xx
Really enjoyed this vlog, hope you are doing okay❤ Looking forward to your road trip vlogs! Especially when you get to the Isle of Skye! Just hope the crowds on the isle are not tooo crazy! 🤪 we miss living in portree! Was a fab experience so hope you both get to enjoy it all! We highly highly recommend Canada for a future travel we lived there for 2 years and Banff has my heart! I have tons of recommendations 😉❤
Totally feel you with this burnout, the jar analogy is perfect. Also I can confirm making friendship bracelets for TayTay is the most therapeutic activity there is. The evenings I spent doing that in the lead up to seeing her were so healing xxx
Thanks for sharing. You are not alone. I had an underactive thyroid and before I was diagnosed i cried about every thing, i am also a mum and i work too . Sometimes, life gets emotional buts ok and hopefully during these times each of us has support or know who they can talk too. Bonnie was so lucky to have your love. I think you are amazing. your vlogs always make me happy. I hope you both enjoy your UK road trip xx
Hi Brogan,lovely to see you back! I think everyone can relate to how you’re feeling .Sometimes life just gets on top of us and we carry on regardless but it creeps up on us and we break…..but it’s important to listen to our bodies and know when to slow down and take a breath…which you have and just slow down a little and over time things will not consume you so much and gradually you will start to feel better and start enjoying the things you used to….think grief certainly takes it out of you as it comes in waves very up & down.
Anyway lots to look forward too excited to come along on the road trip….lots of love xxx
I love your tattoo what a lovely way to remember Bonnie ❤. I really understand how you are feeling at the moment, I have been feeling that way lately to. Feel upset without really knowing the reason why. I hope you feel back to your usual self very soon. Looking forward to seeing your next vlogs. Make sure you allow time for yourself and to do things for you, we all know how hard you work 🐝❤ xxx
Hi Brogan 👋I’ve just found your channel recently as we are going to Disneyland Paris next year… I love your channel! Plus you’re local to us, so it’s so nice to see a vlogger visiting places near us! I’m a newbie and thought I’d say Hi 👋 😊x
I appreciate your beautiful honesty about your grief over your precious fur baby, I lost my 16year old dog in February, and the grief can be difficult. I thought I would even hear him in the house. when you give yourself time to grieve, perhaps your wonderful memories will give you peace.
YAYYYY, I'm so happy that you're coming back to Disney World!! 🎉☺️
We are indeed!! xx
I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I just want to cry just because I’m just not feeling my 100% and that’s ok!
Honestly Brogan, you’re one of my favourite TH-camrs and just know we’ll be here even when you need to take some time for yourself, which is also ok! 💜
Lovely video, thank you. Please don't stress. you're doing great. You have had a huge amount going on, your feelings are totally valid, and you're not alone in those. See you in the next one 😊 x
Feel like I needed to comment. Watching you at the start made me burst out crying. You have explained PERFECTLY what I’ve been feeling for a good month. It’s burnout. Thank you Brogan. It’s a weird thank you, I realise that. 😂 it’s okay, to have a wobble and realise you need to take some time for yourself. I really truely hope you’re okay, and watching your vlogs makes me feel better. Life is hard and certainly overwhelming. Claire x
Thank you for speaking so openly about your struggles, we all face them in different stages in life. ❤ I understand that as a self-employed person taking time off can feel like a risk but I just wanted to let you know that at least I’ll be here even if you sometimes need to take a break for your mental health ❤
Love your beautiful tattoo! Time will heal and you’ll always have the beautiful memories of the three of you in your heart.
Lovely to see you Brogan 😊 your Tattoo is beautiful 😍 its dainty 🫶
Your Road trip sounds Exciting and the other plans of Travels 😜. Take care 🥰
So lovely to see you Brogan. Lovely to see you smiling etc. Been thinking of you. Sending cariad o cwtches (love & hugs) you are amazing 😘😘xx
Thank you so much! xx
Your tattoo is gorgeous! I’ve been looking for someone who does fine line tattoos and this is exactly the kind of artist I’ve been looking for so thank you for sharing 😊☺️ xx
Hi brogan! I love a good catch up! That tattoo for Bonnie is beautiful and such a special way to always have her near you! ❤ we are behind on the Disneyland Paris vlogs but watched part 1 last night! 🏰 I’m so excited to see what you get up to on your road trip!
Burn out is totally normal, you had an epic trip, getting married, losing Bonnie, and trying to get back to the new normal and life without her while also celebrating getting married to Benji! We are all here for you! I can’t wait to see what you get up to in Orlando! We are thinking of going to January/ February too.
Thank you so so much! xx
The best vlogger out there.. your honesty is admirable. And as a viewer, consumer (whatever word you want to use!) of your content.. theres never a day where i dont love your videos. Either theyre fun and I have a great time discussing Disney with my family as we catch up on your Disney trips.. or plan our next cruise from your vlogs.. or theyre honest and real and remind me that im not alone in what i feel, that its normal.. or theyve got me debating whether i want to branch out from my love of thrillers to try the romance genre of books! Thank you for your honesty and for just being a real relatable human. Thank you for being you! ❤😊
Loved the vlog. Please take your time and look after yourself xxx
Lost one of my dogs a month ago now and also grieving 💔 thanks for sharing so honestly about your loss of Bonnie and feeling like the intact but broken jar x
I'm one of your watch everything followers :) I eagerly look forward to every video you put out. I just wanted to let you know that what you shared about the hard days, the fog, overwhelm with decisions, and not having the capacity for a lot of things are all normal parts of the grief process that we don't talk about enough. We hear about things like anger and denial, but not the smaller stuff. Our family went through a major life shift almost two years ago, and it's taken me about 18 months to start feeling like myself again. I struggled with decisions, felt overwhelmed, didn't have a high capacity for social things because it just felt exhausting, and the grief would hit out of nowhere and I'd burst out crying. Be gracious with yourself, know that what you're experiencing is a process, and it does get better :)
Such a lovely tattoo to remember your special girl! We’re so lucky to have dogs in our lives.
I saw you when you were in ikea but as you were eating I didn’t want to disturb you. X
I hope you are feeling a little bit better x How funny, I'm heading to York and Edinburgh in just over a weeks time to meet up with my fellow disney friend from America xx Have a wonderful road trip xx
Brogan, I've been a long time subscriber but rarely comment. I just wanted to pop on & say thank you for talking so openly about burnout & how you are feeling. I've been struggling to explain to my family how I'm feeling mentally after giving birth to my daughter & loosing my nan to dementia within the space of two weeks. How you described that Jar was exactly how I feel & I think it's the perfect way to get across exactly what I want to tell family, so thank you ❤
Happy to see you are doing and feeling a bit better. This was me 2.5 yrs ago I had been care giving for my husband 8 yrs and I was working full time and I was crying every single day. I was beyond exhausted and I had to say I cannot cotinine this. I was declared burn out but I had to still work as someone had to pay the bills. Sadly I had to walk away from a 20 yr relationship a life I had built so hard and had to put my hands up in the air. I got therapy for anxiety and depression and it was hard. I am doing much better now but I had to set boundaries to protect myself. Its okay to slow down, its okay to cry, its okay to say NO. Love watching you from Canada :) and Love disney tooo !!!
Loved this catch up, sorry to hear you've been experiencing burn out, that doesn't sound fun, you have to look after yourself first and foremost you are the most important thing and you mean alot to alot of people so always reach out / take a break if you need it. Looking forward to all of the fab content you have planned in, take care of yourself x
Can’t wait for the road trip vlogs!
Love the tattoo, great way to remember bonnie. I have similar ones for my doggies expect i have their actual paw prints. ❤
Hey Brogan! I completely sympathize with you on the burnout. It’s not a fun thing. So excited for more Brogan & Benji travels. I love all the vlogs you do. Sending you lots of love & positive energy.
V excited for the Florida trip - we ran in to you in the Emporium in May 22
Thank you, Brogan, for being so open and honest about how you have been affected by your grief. So often the loss of a pet can be devastating, and manifests in many different ways, such as the tiredness and feelings of emotion that you described. You talked about how you felt so clearly and anyone dealing with similar grief would know that they are not alone. Well done you and thanks. Much love, Angela F ❤
Glad you took a break. I don’t know how content creators do it. Seems like they never take a day off. Love your tattoo!!! I got my first tattoo in November. It took about an hour, and I didn’t think I hurt either. I actually found it relaxing 😅
you are not alone, I've had a lot of loss in a two year period and cry daily...You are brilliant, such a gorgeous human....Brogan I have watched you from almost the beginning and to see your life change and everything you have accomplished is amazing. Ohhh Disney World, we may bump into you..moved to Orlando last August..you and Ash are a year apart lol. Lots of love...Sue xo
I’m going back to Disney World in the end of October. I’m happy to hear you’re going back to Disney World. I’ve been rewatching those vlogs because they bring the smile on my face. Well, any of your Disney vlogs bring the smile on my face. 😊
Oh lovely Brogan ❤️ All the burnout chat resonated with me so very much! It is just SO difficult and I really feel for you going through it. The crying! That’s now such a tell tale sign for me 😂 I was on the phone to my boss just crying and crying and telling her how I didn’t understand why and it took her listing all the things that I’d told her over the past few months that I’d been going through for me to realise it had actually been quite a lot… 😅 We love a supportive boss 🫶🏻 and I know you’ll be a great one to yourself ✨ As always, thank you for sharing ❤️✨
Love the tattoo brogan take one day at a Time you’ll get there ❤
Finally catching up with this vlog, how you are still going and doing videos are beyond me after everything, and I have so much respect for how open and honest you are with everyone even when you don't need to be. You seem like such a lovely person are clearly so down to earth, but do make sure to take care of yourself it's so so important and this video is such a lovely reminder for anyone going through something similar that it's ok to take a break, to take care of yourself and just breath for 5 minutes. Keep smiling Brogan ❤️ xx
P.s the tattoo is so so lovely ❤️❤️❤️
I hope you feel better soon. We have missed you !!
You arn’t alone at all! I had the wedding blues on top of grieving for my nan and i was a mess quite frankly lol all i could think was how can i be so low on such a high of a year for us but i got through it. Still get sad, don’t think grieving ever really ends but does get easier. Sending you love and you will feel better eventually! Xxx
I’ve had that burnout! It was when I was working, taking care of kids and husband, making and selling jewelry in the side, etc etc. It does get better! Always take care of yourself!
Hubby and I just got our first tattoos in 2022 after walking 550 miles across Spain! Camino de Santiago. We were 64 and 74 years old 😅.
I always have trips planned. It makes me so happy. I’m booking a lot with points lately. Anyway, going on a few road trips soon and then a cruise. I then booked flights to Italy and Austria for next year and another cruise. Also we go to Maui every year. Can’t wait!
I totally understand what you're going through Brogan. We had to deal with grief the same year we got married, and the extreme ups and downs are a LOT. You're dealing with it so well (better than I did...haha!), and I think the best advice I got was to be kind to yourself meaning if you want to lie on the sofa crying all day, just do it! Just take it easy and don't feel too pressured to do too much too soon. Love the tattoo! ❤ x
I look forward to your Monday vlogs! ❤
Yay! Thank you! xx
