That interaction with Griffin was so cute! Your guys are awesome together! Love you
ily 🥺🧡
The fact that you still went to spin so early despite how tired you have been is why I admire you
it saves me tbh
abby!! thank u so much for sharing that!! my dad is a therapist and i’ve been in therapy before when i was younger for anxiety (im 19 now & not in it currently) but i recently in 2020, had to go back to figure out some issues i had due to a previous relationship w my ex and it was really hard. quarantine gave me too much time to think and it got hard, but trust me therapy will help. it’s perfectly normal to go & have things you wanna talk ab to help heal yourself. what i always tried to remember is that the therapist is truly there to help you. and there’s really nothing they haven’t heard before (if that’s one of your fears.. ik it was for me) but also it’s nice that you don’t know them because there’s no biased judgement! that helped me a lot because if i talked to someone close to me, i don’t think they would’ve been able to truly help me. but yeah sorry this is long, but truly therapy can be a very positive thing and you can come out of it, feeling so much better. you’re such an inspiration abby thank you so much for sharing this, best of luck!!😘😘
This so funny, in a sense that I have too similar experience. My mom is a therapist and it’s therapy was always present in my life - on and off, but 2020 happened and well, things too a turn! Needless to say I went back to therapy and it was the best thing for my mental health. I think, as society, we should be more open about going to therapy because there is nothing to be ashamed to take care of your mind - and let’s normalize that sometimes it takes time to find someone that you click! Best of luck to us all
Hey Abby!! This busy season life is not it haha but I started working at a big 4 in October and its been so chill until January hit! I totally understand what you’re going through and how frustrating it gets to not truly have your weekends! It’s especially hard for me bc I live at home and seeing my family relaxing while I’m at my desk is so tempting but this work needs to get done before another week starts 😭 i knew it would be like this but adjusting has been hard but we’ll get through it!!
yesss u feel you. we got this 😅 i’m kinda glad i started in busy season bc i didn’t have to anticipate it’s arrival but it’s def rough starting out like this. we can do it!
Hey Abby!
I’m currently working towards my bachelors of social work and plan to complete my masters of social work. In therapy you should never ever feel like you should open up right away. One of the most important things we learn is that for our clients its a process for them and seeking help can be hard. Your therapist should always earn your trust before you feel you are expected spill the big things. I hope therapy works out for you. Sending love💛
that’s super comforting to know :) thank you so much and hope tou enjoy the rest of your time in school!!
Thanks for opening up on your mental health journey! I've been thinking of starting therapy for a while but now i'm finally about to do it too! I love your work week vlogs so much - it's very comforting watching these since I'm also a fresh grad and am also struggling with work-life balance and doing things/enjoying life outside of working hours. Getting into the corporate world is a huge transition and I feel like not a lot of people talk about enough!
Your long vlogs are literally the greatest
u are literally the greatest
Your skin is GLOWING in this video! Thank you for sharing everything today with us...you are definitely not alone. Oh and by the way...Built Bars are legit! The coconut flavor one is almost identical to a Mounds Bar! lol! xoxo
thank you so much!!! 🧡 yes it’s so good!!
I've been looking for a youtuber like you for SO LONG!! Pls take us along your work journey. You got a new subscriber
omg yes i’m trying to! welcome 🥰
why are your vlogs the absolute best? major serotonin boost 😇
🥺🧡
omg griffin saying that 😭so freaking cute and i was so early todayyy :)
Your dark hair looks soo good 🥺🤎 !
thank u omg!!
Abby! Your venting was SO relatable & perfect timing. I’ve dealt with extremely similar emotions these last few weeks. Feeling like all your past traumas are suddenly so heavy & at the forefront. But the thought of actually verbalizing things you hate talking about makes you want to throw up. & then you feel kind of crazy- stuck in a mental limbo you’ve created. Ive scheduled & canceled an appt twice now, but know that working through those feelings is what I need to grow. Thank you for opening up. You are not alone!
ugh yes i totally understand. we can do this! 🧡
Hi Abby! I appreciate you having the courage and strength to open up about something so personal on a public platform. I have been in therapy and mental health treatment for the past few years, and it can truly be transformative if you are willing to be vulnerable, even to a new therapist who you don’t know well at all. Recently, I decided to start the process of going into ED treatment after years of struggling alone, and I have never been more terrified to open up despite all of my experience with general mental health assistance in the past. I can definitely relate to the hesitation you are experiencing. I hope we are both able to receive the help that we deserve, no matter how intimidating it is to start out ❤️
i hope so too. thank you for sharing your experience & i hope you find the peace & help you need. you are so so strong!! 💚💚
every time I watch one of your videos and you talk about yourself & your type of personality/thought process, I think about how similar we are. it’s just crazy to watch videos of someone you don’t personally know but relate to so much & you just feel like you would click in real life
we probably would then hehe 🧡 y’all are all like my best friends!!!
I agree about the skinny Jean thing for the work place. I’m also “stocky” girl too. They look great on you 💕
Abby! Thank you for opening up a bit and sharing! First, I want to say that I'm loving the work week videos! As someone who also works full time, is in grad school full time and is doing an internship (lol why did i do this to myself????) it's so nice to see someone on youtube who actually works and I can relate to! It makes me feel so much better seeing someone use their degree that they worked so hard for and balance work, a relationship, health, mental health and youtube/social media! It's honestly inspiring and you should be so proud of yourself! As for therapy, I'm pretty similar in the sense that I absolutely hate talking about my feelings, especially to the people in the my life. But i've found that it's actually a bit easier for me to open up to my therapist bc it's almost like they're a third party and don't necessarily know me, so they can't really judge me? (idk if that helps or makes any sense but i wanted to share just incase!) you're so brave for choosing to take your mental health into your own hands and work on healing! I'm sending you lots of love and positivity as you navigate this journey!!
so glad you’re loving them!! thank you so much for all the kind and uplifting words. that’s so true, i’m trying to shift my mindset into reminding myself that they don’t know me or any of the people in my life which makes it feel easier to talk to them about my problems… appreciate all your kind words 🧡
I totally agree about the work skinny Jean! My work is business casual but we can wear jeans without rips but I always feel like my
Work tops never look good with anything but dark or black skinny jeans.
I’m so glad you continued the vlog, Abby! I appreciate you being vulnerable on all your platforms because there are so many of us in the same boat (including myself). I’ll always watch your content ❤️ I hope you can find some peace this week!
thank you so so much for supporting, hope you have a great week as well! 💚
awww you and griffin hugging was so cute 🥺❤ it's gonna be so cute when y'all get married
Yess Abby I can totally relate to your point about being distracted by college and it really hit me too once it was over. I need to find a therapist soon because trauma and feelings from the past is def catching up
What makes it even more pressing is that I’m a mom. My son is almost 3 years old
hope you can find some peace soon 💚
Griffin cooking and doing dishes on your long days >>>
chefs kiss!!!
My first busy season at my accounting internship so girlllll, I feel you! We got this!
yes we got it! hope your internship goes well!!
So excited for the work content! Can you talk more about like what you actually do lol? I start a big4 tax job in the fall and I'm interested in knowing more about what I will actually be doing! Obviously as much as you can with privacy
i will try to w all the privacy rules and everything but i honestly don’t even know how to describe what im doing in broad terms rn so i’ll try to articulate it in a vague way to where it’s helpful 😂
Hi Abby! I've tried therapy in the past and I can totally relate when you said signing up makes it real. I hesitated countless times before I actually stepped into my therapist's office. I will say it wasn't an easy choice but looking back in hindsight it was the best choice for my health at that time. I did it for me and therapy empowered me to sort through buried feelings and confront them one by one. It was liberating and definitely a process! You can always walk away if you try it and don't like it!
i’m so glad that you have been able to be empowered through it and feel that liberation! i totally get those feelings. thank you for sharing your insight 🧡
Hi Abby! When I started going to my therapist, it was awkward and I didn't open up much at first, but my therapist had a lot of patience with me. I don't like saying things out loud or vocalizing how I feel. Later on, before our sessions I would just write out everything that was on my mind. It was like word vomit, just every single deep random thought I had, I wrote. So, when I would go to my sessions I would just read out loud everything I wrote down, and it really helped break down the awkward closed off barrier I had up with my therapist. You're amazing and just be patient with yourself!
that’s such good advice!! and you sound like you have a great therapist :) i’m glad it’s been helpful for you. thanks for the tips!!
Hey Abby! Loved your vlog as usual. I just wanted to offer my insight into therapy as I've been going for the last 2 years now. It is really hard to sign up at first, but know that therapy is a safe space and you don't have to immediately open up about everything. It takes time to build a strong relationship with your therapist and it doesn't have to be a super vulnerable experience right away. Good luck with your mental health journey!!
thank you so much for your insight 🧡😊
I love ur long weekly vlogs, some of my fave videos
loving the work week vlogs!!!
Therapy sounds super daunting and scary to talk to someone you don't know, but through personal experience, there is something so freeing about being able to talk to someone who has no preconceived notions about you and is someone who you know is going to listen to you unconditionally. I've been able to talk about emotions and experiences that I didn't think I could ever talk about and it's made me a much more open person and accepting of my emotions good or bad.
you & Griffin are too cute!! Thank you so much for opening up and being so vulnerable! I just graduated as a mental health nurse and I never stop sharing how important therapy is! We go for regular check ups when it comes to medical concerns but it's so difficult to do the same when it comes to our mental health! I really do hope everything works out for you Abby! Love you
you're totally fine for wearing a skinnier jean! especially with boots etc. I feel like you have to wear a skinnier/ slim straight fit for work outfits.
You got this Abby! It was hard for me to get into therapy because I didn’t want to accept I needed it and also that means it was time to make a change in my life. I was quiet about my past and feelings as well and had no clue how I was going to tell a stranger. I figured out telling a stranger was what I needed because they were neutral. A good therapist also knows how to ask the right questions to open you up while allowing you to feel safe
oh my gosh YES this. it’s so difficult to accept and admit that especially when you’re an independent person used to taking care of things on your own. you are so right. thanks for sharing :)
Really enjoying your videos lately!! I graduate in May and have an interview this week for a job in my field (pathology) and I’m excited. Excited to get into the swing of things and professional development once I’m done with school. Taking 20 credit hours, working night shift at the hospital, grinding hard and I know it will be worth it at the end! You encourage me and help me want to push to get there :) hope you have a great rest of your week!! 💗
“Cheers to healing ourselves” I felt that. I have my first session tomorrow with a potential therapist and I’m screaming on the inside.
i hope it went well!🧡
I loved that cute moment with griffin and your jeans ❤️
i know exactly what you mean about skinny jeans being the only “professional” jeans😭its all i feel like i can wear to work
I feel you on opening up to people and struggles. My family and my best friends know me to a certain level, but I feel like they don't know all of me because I've never 100% opened up and be vulnerable so I feel you on that. (side note) Also Griffin use to be in the vlogs all the time when you were in college and he would even vlog some clips himself lol. But keep your chin up, busy season will be over before you know it! Sending love and support ❤
yesss it can be so hard to just be fully 100% vulnerable. I’m okay with like 90% but the 10% is hard 😂 Trying to include him more in things but it’s def hard w us when we were studying and w him working now! thank you 🧡
yesssssss we LOVE the long videos
I’ve been holding off on therapy too because I just started a new job as well! I’m looking forward to it but also nervous for the same reasons you are lol so if you are comfortable let us know how your first visit goes and how quickly you felt like you were able to open up❤️
i definitely will try to keep y’all updated!
What is a wintry day in Houston?? I’m in Michigan and we are about to get 1-2ft of snow in the next 24 hours 😂
it got down to the teens this week but no snow! the average is usually a high in the low 50s lol but we had a very cold last 2 weeks with it not really getting out of the 40s during the day and it being overcast. very cold for this florida girl 😂
EXACTLY what I need on this productive snow day. So excited to watch this and deep clean my kitchen 🥰💕
my advice is to just keep cool. respect what your body demands, its good for your physical and mental health. its okay to stop sometimes and give yourself time once in awhile. we only have one body and one life-make it a meaningful and great one!
I filmed a week in the life recently as well so it’s great to see others doing the same and all growing together! Great video and can’t wait to see ur next one.
You seem so much more relaxed! Glad you’re done with your CPA Exams. Hope the last one went well and congratulations on starting your big girl job 💗
work is stressful but it’s truly a diff kind of stress! thank you so much :)
Therapists, we do not expect (or should not expect) you to come out the first session with ALL that information. It’s very awkward and can be overwhelming. It takes SO MUCH bravery and courage to go, but if it takes time to start opening, that is 10000% okay. I always tell clients, “I meet you where you are at” and we can work on the things you need to talk about when you are ready. Also if you don’t click with your therapist, it’s okay to change. It gets easier and sometimes talking to someone who is outside of your life, helps because there’s no judgment, no known things, and things like that! Take your time with it. Therapists are there for you, and will let you do it with a comfortable pace. Wishing you alllll the best during this ❤️
idk why i always felt like you had to like totally dump it all out the first trip 🤣 that’s just me overcomplicating it in my head though. makes me feel a lottt better to think about a gradual process. thanks so much for this 🧡
I can relate on your topic of therapy. It’s hard for me to talk about my feelings to anyone because in a way it feels like I’m failing? It’s definitely a trauma response. I hope you update us on how your therapy is progressing ❤️
yesss totally get that. i definitely will as i get started!
Thank you for opening up, it makes me feel more comfy as I 100% agree I hate talking about my feelings so much but I know therapy would be so beneficial.
thank you so much! it’s from urban outfitters :)
Yay! Long vlog!! ☺️☺️
Could you do a work/time management q&a please?? I'm in finance as well.
Signing up for therapy can be hard but the thing is that you don't have to start with the hardest parts. For me I started with things that were easier and then built up to the harder things to talk about. I didn't find this video boring so don't worry about it not being interesting enough.
glad you enjoyed it!! and that’s such a good point - such a great reminder :)
We Love Yall 💕
As soon as I see Griffin... “RORY what the hell are you doing in Texas?” lol 😂😂😩 iykyk
Hey Abby you’re amazing ♥️

Skinny jeans will never go out of style. I simply refuses. I have thick thighs and baggy pants just make my legs look even bulkier. Hate it. Gonna be the TikTok Millenial sticking to skinny jeans 😂😂😂
hahaha feel that 😂
That work desk set up is too relatable 💀
Skinny jeans till I die 🤞🏼
I love Skinny Jeans and typically don't wear any other type of jean
Hi Abby, how do you deal with mental health and big 4 accounting?
oooof that’s a hard one haha. Gotta make time for yourself in the free time you do have and be intentional with it, and setting boundaries is important too but it’s definitely hard to figure out when you just start
i wanna check out Houston so bad!
it’s amazing!!
Hello~ Civil Engineering student here watching! ~

I’m curious what you’ve been working on within your firm

Understandable!
Hey girl, love your videos! If you like kombucha, one of my favorites is beezberries kombucha… so good. Small family business, great people if you’re interested 🙂

is that normal for your work to keep you busy until later in the evening? that seems like such a full schedule!
during busy season, yes! it’s just the name of the game in big 4 hahah
@@AbbyAsselin damn props to you!
Hey Abby! Could you have griffin make an appointment for you? I’m terrified of the doctors office and it’s really upsetting to me to have to make an appointment and it helps if my boyfriend does it for me
that’s a good point!!! great tip thank you
