I think my main goal in general for the new year is to put myself more out there. Do things in the outside world I've wanted to do for a while (maybe even with an attempt taken place) but would clown myself on to convince myself to keep isolating. I'm turning 19 this year and I've always struggled with my mental health and even leaving the house. 2024 I definitely improved on that, but didn't hit all of my goals (which is also okay). I've also always wanted to go back into the world of creating art and becoming a content creator, so hopefully I can manage to start doing what I've always wanted to do without shaming myself for it. I think that's a good start! :D
@@josepha133 do you have any tips for what happens when you meet toxic people out there? i did everything in my power to go outside and live my life and i met the worst people i could have possibly met and now i have trauma and i'm isolating again and i can't even find a reason to go outside again, like for what? i really wanna try again but i also stopped seeing the point :(
baby steps!! it's all about the baby steps! I'm trying to write down 1 sentence in my journal everyday! I try to go outside once everyday and I try to go to sleep by 10 PM and because of this video I will go on a run tomorrow morning to challenge myself! but I think most importantly I'm focused on changing the way I think, being kinder to myself and giving myself credit for waking up everyday, trying again even though 2024 was a rock bottom year... This video comes at a perfect time! you are an amazing, inspiring creator that is still so authentic after many years! you are glowing! wishing you the best for 2025! ❤
Wow I love that! Thank u for the sweetest encouragement you’re such an angel 👼 I will also join on this 10pm goal, going to bed early is still the biggest challenge for me but maybe I can do 11pm tn heheh
the intro is just so funny and creative! girl i love your style of editing and trust me there's so many videos on exercising/movement out there, but you just make it so lighthearted. thank you for the tips and we are happy to see you thriving :))
leah girl i paused this video 5 minutes in, searched my local gyms, chose one and turns out they had a sale for 200 dollars off, ending tomorrow. seriously thank you for the cosmic timing of this video 😆 cause now i have a gym
no but the way I’m literally starting my workout era today and opened TH-cam to check what exercises should I do and your video appeared! perfect timing. wish me luck on my journey 🥲
Ive been learning to enjoy working out more over just punishing my body and I looove working out in the mornings where I can just move around and then feel so good in my body for the rest of the day. Resonate so much w everything you are saying!
the outro was so cute 😭for this year, i want to be better at my academics and maybe form new connections and friendships, all of this is more wishful thinking than goals lmao but i truly hope im able to get a better grasp on myself this year, since ill be starting my 2nd year at college 😩sending love and prosperity to you and everyone you love leah!! 💗
I started running when I broke up with my bf for my mental health. That was 9 months ago and I now am running a marathon. I don’t put any pressure to be better I just run to enjoy it and have gotten better naturally by finally sticking to something I love! My next step is to try a bit of strength training. 😊love this video x
Stop scrolling and start creating is one of my mantras for 2025 I want to focus on decreasing my screen time and replacing it with creating more art and reading books + take care of my mental health which also means focusing on the regular movement that won’t feel like a duty but rather a hobby:))
I reserve this playlist of songs that I LOVE and really pump me up for the treadmill only! That way whenever I think about runs I associate it with jamming out, also just turning on that playlist sets me in the mood. Using music as a motivating factor is super helpful! It makes me want to keep running because I get to jam out to the next song and also decreases the initial friction of getting onto the treadmill :)
This was so useful, lately movement and building good habits as an adult has been on my mind, your video came at the right time ! In my end, for 2025 I want to focus on my inside. Not just achieving outside things like financial security but really change my mentality on life and as of hobbies/work I want to learn about videography I’m a photographer but I think having those two skills in my pocket could bring a lot of good for others and for me. Stay healthy everyone! Sending love 🤍
This is pure beauty. I love it when someone can make something so hard seem actually so enjoyable. You literally covered all my worries that came up, i have no more excuses. Motivation queen.
Haha awww this is the best comment ever!! I feel very motivated to make more videos so you’re definitely a motivation queen too!! Excited for ur movement journey 💪💖
ahh i missed you so much! Exercising it's also a sore thumb for me, but your video motivate me a lot. My main goal for 2025 is (obv) to patch up my uni situation and actually study because i want to learn, not because i have to. But what I promised myself is to go on as many side quests as i can (the more artistic things i do, the more motivated to study science i am)
Thanks Leah this was so wholesome and cute. Honestly I really appreciate the small steps mindset, and also the hard days tips. Never heard of costume change, eat the frog, and adjustment tips so I’m keen to try it out!
im so happy you were confident enough to show up to the gym in a tank top with armpit hair! i was overthinking about this literally yesterday, thank you for making an impact in a sixteen year old girl's life, maybe you wont ever read this, but i hope you know the impact this small almost insignificant action had to change my perspective and making me feel more confident about myself!
omg i've missed your videos leah!! been here for a while so it's really nice to see you growing more into the exercising world with a healthy mindset! recently i've got diagnosed with a couple of issues because of sedentarism and i really could relate to your struggles, thank you for sharing and giving us some gas to get back on moving our bodies
thank you for the great video Leah! i feel like i have also felt the pressure to exercise for aesthetics more than to feel good, particularly to gain muscle mass and with the sort of intimidating/ macho environment in gyms i struggled to start going regularly. however i have since gotten more used to it and have enjoyed doing exercises for the way they make me feel; there is something very satisfying about improving that i have really enjoyed. i hope to continue this in the new year and maybe incorporate some more social active time like you have!
i hate gym so last year i actually started outside activities like walking 10k steps, riding a bikie everywhere and swimming in a lake during summer. lost 12kg and stuck with the movement at the swimming pool etc. i love how much more mobile my body feels. it’s mindblowing
Love the intro. And the whole idea to just move more. Leahs filming style is fun and positive. Can't she star in a movie or something 😊 happy new year Leah! From a goat 🐐 in a snake year
hehe such a cutie video!! i also thought going to the gym was intemidating until i realized gym culture is actually so kind and most people are so encouraging!! They're all there to focus on their health and to become stronger, so no one is really judging anyone else as we'd intially assume :')
Such a cool vidéo!!! It gives me such gentle “I totally wanna do that too vibe”. You are always the best at transferring your energy!!! ❤❤❤ This school year we subscribed to indoor climbing class and canyoning classe in the mountains 🏔️ I am frightened for the mountain part and the water 💧 part but I want to be more at ease in nature! Have a wonderful day Leah !!
i rarely comment on any videos on yt, but this will be an exception. im so glad i came upon into your video again, and everytime, it’s always feels like a warm hug and goodluck that i needed. im cheering you on this “play more” journey of yours and hopefully, i can commit to finally move my ass too with these baby steps
i can relate to the internalising of this new identity of being an active person so much, i've also noticed a shift in my lifestyle choices too!! here's to "romanticising exercise" in 2025 😆
For this year I actually want to feel good in my body and not care about the way I look so much so your talk in the beginning of the video was pretty helpful for pointing out the toxic trends we have nowadays. I'm also so happy to see new videos coming I remember watching your videos before and they were so comforting and relaxing 💕
Leah always coming in with the perfect video at the perfect moment. I just moved to a new city for a 6 month period of time between school sessions for me, and I've been hyping myself up to start exercising more regularly during this time, but then got hit back to back with a cold and now my period starting eheh - but now cuz of this video I'm gonna crack open my new yoga mat that I got for christmas and do some stretching and yoga! Baby steps!
Happy new year! Glad to see another video. I have finished with my lessons and now I am watching you. I can explain how I feel now. I just love watching your videos. This year I want to enter the university and move to the capital. It is the biggest plan for this year. About other I just want to learn some chinise phrases, also improve my yoga skills, work on my eating habits. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, just your life with us. Love you.
I just noticed that you answered me. it is so strange. it is another evening, i have done with my lessons and I do not why but everything seems to me unreal. You know, you live very far from me. And it seems like I'll never meet you, but.. Damn, it's so weird that you noticed me. I see 36K views here. and it's so weird too. just numbers. But it's just a lot of people. I do not know why this is happening to me, it is even more strange. like I've never been answered in the comments. (maybe because I don't write them often)😅
I really want to knit a sweater vest this year⭐ also I want to try incorporating meditation in my routine:) lovely video! oh and the splits would be fun too!!🌙
relatively new subscriber here ; just wanted to compliment you on the gentle / fun , light - hearted vibes .... watching you(r videos) feels comfortable , safe , inspiring ! ... cheers & much love from california .
i watched this video this morning and it got me really excited for the year ahead! my main goal this year is to take care of my self better and to build a healthier relationship with my self :)
I love u so much Leah! I love seeing u happy n thriving it genuinely makes me feel happy n thriving too! For me I rly wanna just iron out my weekly gym routine. I used to go almost everyday while I was back in school but now that I have a full time job I’ve been struggling to find pockets of time to squish work outs into otherwise I rly do enjoy exercise! I’m hopping to go at least twice a week (4x at best!) I love u n ur videos so so much n I hope ur happy always💗💗💗
Hi Leah I loved this video because I’ve been on the exact same fitness journey recently! I really had to motivate myself to do any kind of movement because the reasons of losing weight or looking different didn’t really resonate with me, and I also found the gym really intimidating. But I recently turned 30 and listened to similar podcasts and realised that I needed to do something to build and maintain muscle. I was also a bit tired of struggling with activities I really enjoyed, like hiking and climbing. So I signed up for a gym and a personal trainer, and have started going there regularly. It’s amazing what a change in your reason for doing something can do to motivate you to stick with something! Enjoying it so far, and feel myself getting stronger too!
Thank you for making this video and being so sweet and honest about your journey! It has inspired me so much to start improving my daily movement. God bless you!
i loved this video, it made me want to go climbing again bc i did it for a little while last year and it was so fun, and definitely strengthening but didn't feel like a workout :) for me, the hardest part of keeping active/movement is finding the time to do it under capitalism :| when i'm working 8+ hour days, i'm usually hungry when i get home, and then don't want to workout b/c i just want to eat and i'm tired :( i really hope to move somewhere walkable in 2025 so i can have that built in movement... i have also worked a few manual labour jobs (go farming!) that luckily builds that in... but its hard to find a stable movement routine as a young adult adjusting to the work week... anywho these are just my ramblings... thanks for sharing your tips!
That’s so fair!! It’s really tough with a long working schedule :( maybe a 15min morning stretch or yoga video could be accessible? I hope u can find a cozy place to live and work this new year! 💗
I did create a 2025 vision board, will try to tick it all, which also has joining the gym and loose all stubborn fat that i gained in last 2 years sitting and working in-front of laptop for 10 hrs everyday
I loved this video! ❤ I have Badminton Training 3x a week and sometimes it is really hard to not compare with others. In 2025 I want to concentrate on having fun! Happy New Year's Leah
wheree were youu gosh my goal is basically to start with walks or joggs and an overall excersise . but also not pushing myself too far because i want to make it a habit and i dont want to hate it. and i want to have fun with everything im doing this yearr. i missedd youu so gladd to see you after so longg
I'm so happy to see you upload your videos are always so fun for me to watch!! one of my goals for 2025 is that I want to be able to run 5k so that I can attend mini-marathons with my dad and my little brother who are super into exercise when i go back to china. I've been going through a breakup so i think going first thing in the morning to the gym or somewhere just outside even must be good..!
For this year I want to be more healthy, I want to cook healthy food instead of always eating convenience foods. I also want to do more weigh training, im also scared of the machines at the gym so I always did cardio.. so baby steps for me too, it's been 2 weeks since I started using some machine but for this year I want a better routine for the gym and this video motivates me!! I just want to focus on me for this year (thinking of going celibate too bc I had 2 bad experiences this last few months) and doing more my spiritual practises. I missed you Leah, I love your video, you are a safe place for me, I feel good spiritually when I watch you so im grateful for that
Awww I missed reading everyone’s messages thank u for leaving me one!! You got this 💕 I always recommend a period of celibacy as such a special time to focus on yourself and also think about what u want to look for in a future romantic partner! It’s really done wonders the 2 times I’ve decided to do it! I wanna make another video on it soon :) love u💝
Thank you so much for this video. I always enjoy watching them ! I'm also trying to do more sport so it motivates me a lot. I would be very interesting in a "what i eat in a week" - of course if you enjoy it to film - to see how you eat while working out - maybe playing is better :) - And also to see how you deal with protein as a vegan - even if it's much easier than people think to eat lot of protein as a vegan person -
This video is so well done and I loved seeing your journey. If you are looking for a fun workout that boosts your confidence, maybe you could try martial arts sometimes. There are so many forms and I personally find it really fun, especially because those gyms often times have a great sense of community and people encourage eachother and the training can be playful :)).
Whooooaa I’ve always been super fascinated by martial arts as a kid especially visiting the Shaolin temple, so magical! I think I’ll definitely try it in this lofetime
@@leahsfieldnotes yes, just try it, it can be so fun :D. and for a lot of, especially asian, cultures they have a huge significance, also spiritually.
Hey Leah! Your finals vlog was so engaging to watch! As a video editor, I noticed the emotional journey you captured - from the forensic anthropology stress to that sweet ice cream celebration. Would love to help edit your future content if you're ever looking to collaborate! Congrats on finishing finals and enjoy your break! 🎓✨
Hi Leah!! My 2025 goals is to continue to hit the gym grow connection with loved ones pass HSK 3 also i’m on self-reliance, self-love journey, learning to love myself on a deeper spiritual level im pushing 21 on jan 16 a capricorn babyy heree more than that i found tarot cards really enjoyable and fun activity to do idk the amount of spiritual awakening happening to me in 2024 is insane i feel like a kitten that just opened it’s eyes and starts so see the world….. i know that it’s from now on a lifelong journey so i also want to become flexible and strong to enjoy life despite all 💯🫵🏻 i also learned that my heart fills with joy when i travel by myself so i want to take myself somewhere 🌫️
I've actually put an exercise goal this year, of getting a muscle ache at least one time a week. I haven't done any proper exercise in the last half year because of a staying foot pain, and now my body is screaming for exercise. Very motivating video for me!!!
Welcome back, you whippedy whipplesnapper ! You were sorely missed. When the world needed you most, you reappeared (cue the Avatar Last Airbender title music). Also, lovely Loki reference ^^
this was really motivating for me :) i've had an on-off relationship to the gym and pilates and whenever i restart the goal of moving regulatly, i set my standards wayy to high and get overwhelmed. luckily it's already not body or weight-loss focused anymore but it's still not fair to myself and my abilities and i want to change that. i can't afford personal training right now but i plan to start small again by myself and also find a group sport to do, maybe even find some new friends there? anyway thanks for talking about this in such a calm and motivating way🥰
Going into adulthood and seeing your vids and realizing the burnout is starting to take effect, this vid was refreshing though. Also really weird to see you not have armpit hair after knowing you had it for ages (from the archive footage of you in the gym) 😂😂
This comes just in time :D I also want to work out more but I just get dizzy so fast. But you include the struggle, so people can see that thats just part of the journey! One questions though: shouldn't it be more clear that you are sponsored?
There’s a paid promotion sticker that should appear right before the video and in the middle! Is it visible? :0 I did reach out tho so it’s definitely something I wanted to try regardless or sponsorship or not :) also if u get dizzy fast take it slow maybe start w walking to build up your strength! and maybe check iron levels 💗
longtime viewer & first time commenter! leah, thanks for your beautiful spirit. i would recommend checking out soul fire farm in new york - they are a community farm led by bipoc focused on food sovereignty and have lots of volunteer opps and immersions. i worked there two summers ago and learned so much, including practicing herbalism and learning about tcm! i have a similar vision of creating a community retreat center & farm in detroit!
I think my main goal in general for the new year is to put myself more out there. Do things in the outside world I've wanted to do for a while (maybe even with an attempt taken place) but would clown myself on to convince myself to keep isolating. I'm turning 19 this year and I've always struggled with my mental health and even leaving the house. 2024 I definitely improved on that, but didn't hit all of my goals (which is also okay). I've also always wanted to go back into the world of creating art and becoming a content creator, so hopefully I can manage to start doing what I've always wanted to do without shaming myself for it. I think that's a good start! :D
I love this! You can do it 💕
As someone who is in the same boat but 28 years old: do it! Don't waste your twenties like me hiding out in your room 😅
@@josepha133 do you have any tips for what happens when you meet toxic people out there? i did everything in my power to go outside and live my life and i met the worst people i could have possibly met and now i have trauma and i'm isolating again and i can't even find a reason to go outside again, like for what? i really wanna try again but i also stopped seeing the point :(
the “focus on how you feel” advice is soooo key! plus the rebranding as an “active person” !!! this is super helpful advice!
baby steps!! it's all about the baby steps! I'm trying to write down 1 sentence in my journal everyday! I try to go outside once everyday and I try to go to sleep by 10 PM and because of this video I will go on a run tomorrow morning to challenge myself! but I think most importantly I'm focused on changing the way I think, being kinder to myself and giving myself credit for waking up everyday, trying again even though 2024 was a rock bottom year... This video comes at a perfect time! you are an amazing, inspiring creator that is still so authentic after many years! you are glowing! wishing you the best for 2025! ❤
Wow I love that! Thank u for the sweetest encouragement you’re such an angel 👼 I will also join on this 10pm goal, going to bed early is still the biggest challenge for me but maybe I can do 11pm tn heheh
the intro is just so funny and creative! girl i love your style of editing and trust me there's so many videos on exercising/movement out there, but you just make it so lighthearted. thank you for the tips and we are happy to see you thriving :))
Awwww yay!!!! I had a lot of fun making it!
OMG LEAHS BACKKK
there is truly nothing more motivating than a leah's fieldnotes video :')
leah girl i paused this video 5 minutes in, searched my local gyms, chose one and turns out they had a sale for 200 dollars off, ending tomorrow. seriously thank you for the cosmic timing of this video 😆 cause now i have a gym
OMG NOW WAY!!!!! I’m so excited for u 🥹
Thank you I loved this. “she was going to love herself”

We are so glad you love working with Jill! We love to see how much confidence you have gained! 🤩Thanks for sharing trainwell.
wait, I needed this motivation so much.
Yayyyyy You got this!! 💫
i would loveee to join a workshop with friendly bureau!! really want to have a better relationship with my body this year
AH I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR ENERGY
i absolutely needed to see this
lol u got this bb 💝🌼
i loved this video, it made me want to go climbing again bc i did it for a little while last year and it was so fun, and definitely strengthening but didn't feel like a workout :) for me, the hardest part of keeping active/movement is finding the time to do it under capitalism :| when i'm working 8+ hour days, i'm usually hungry when i get home, and then don't want to workout b/c i just want to eat and i'm tired :( i really hope to move somewhere walkable in 2025 so i can have that built in movement... i have also worked a few manual labour jobs (go farming!) that luckily builds that in... but its hard to find a stable movement routine as a young adult adjusting to the work week... anywho these are just my ramblings... thanks for sharing your tips!
That’s so fair!! It’s really tough with a long working schedule :( maybe a 15min morning stretch or yoga video could be accessible? I hope u can find a cozy place to live and work this new year! 💗
I did create a 2025 vision board, will try to tick it all, which also has joining the gym and loose all stubborn fat that i gained in last 2 years sitting and working in-front of laptop for 10 hrs
everyday
I loved this video! ❤ I have Badminton Training 3x a week and sometimes it is really hard to not compare with others. In 2025 I want to concentrate on having fun! Happy New Year's Leah
Omg that sounds so fun!! You’re doing it right 🙂↕️
wheree were youu gosh my goal is basically to start with walks or joggs and an overall excersise . but also not pushing myself too far because i want to make it a habit and i dont want to hate it. and i want to have fun with everything im doing this yearr. i missedd youu so gladd to see you after so longg
Leah this is so good for you! I am so proud of you. X
SHE FINALLY POSTED ON TH-cam ~ YAY
I really hope you post more often on TH-cam. Maybe with just regular vlogs and with a sprinkle in of sponsor videos like this...
More vlogs coming in the new year 🤗
missed you leah!!! yayy
I'm so happy to see you upload your videos are always so fun for me to watch!! one of my goals for 2025 is that I want to be able to run 5k so that I can attend mini-marathons with my dad and my little brother who are super into exercise when i go back to china. I've been going through a breakup so i think going first thing in the morning to the gym or somewhere just outside even must be good..!
That’s so awesome! I think being able to run 5k is a goal for me too, I’ll join u :D also sending u vibes lots of healing love! 💕
Such a creative artist!
For this year I want to be more healthy, I want to cook healthy food instead of always eating convenience foods. I also want to do more weigh training, im also scared of the machines at the gym so I always did cardio.. so baby steps for me too, it's been 2 weeks since I started using some machine but for this year I want a better routine for the gym and this video motivates me!! I just want to focus on me for this year (thinking of going celibate too bc I had 2 bad experiences this last few months) and doing more my spiritual practises. I missed you Leah, I love your video, you are a safe place for me, I feel good spiritually when I watch you so im grateful for that
Awww I missed reading everyone’s messages thank u for leaving me one!! You got this 💕 I always recommend a period of celibacy as such a special time to focus on yourself and also think about what u want to look for in a future romantic partner! It’s really done wonders the 2 times I’ve decided to do it! I wanna make another video on it soon :) love u💝
Thank you so much for this video. I always enjoy watching them ! I'm also trying to do more sport so it motivates me a lot.
I would be very interesting in a "what i eat in a week" - of course if you enjoy it to film - to see how you eat while working out - maybe playing is better :) -
And also to see how you deal with protein as a vegan - even if it's much easier than people think to eat lot of protein as a vegan person -
This video is so well done and I loved seeing your journey.
If you are looking for a fun workout that boosts your confidence, maybe you could try martial arts sometimes. There are so many forms and I personally find it really fun, especially because those gyms often times have a great sense of community and people encourage eachother and the training can be playful :)).
Whooooaa I’ve always been super fascinated by martial arts as a kid especially visiting the Shaolin temple, so magical! I think I’ll definitely try it in this lofetime
@@leahsfieldnotes yes, just try it, it can be so fun :D. and for a lot of, especially asian, cultures they have a huge significance, also spiritually.
I've missed you Leah! Happy new year to you and your loved ones :)
sending you good vibes
Happy new year!!! 🐍
Hey Leah! Your finals vlog was so engaging to watch! As a video editor, I noticed the emotional journey you captured - from the forensic anthropology stress to that sweet ice cream celebration. Would love to help edit your future content if you're ever looking to collaborate! Congrats on finishing finals and enjoy your break! 🎓✨
YESSS I NEEDED A VIDEO FROM YOU
Hi Leah!!
My 2025 goals is to continue to hit the gym
grow connection with loved ones
pass HSK 3
also i’m on self-reliance, self-love journey, learning to love myself on a deeper spiritual level
im pushing 21 on jan 16 a capricorn babyy heree
more than that i found tarot cards really enjoyable and fun activity to do
idk the amount of spiritual awakening happening to me in 2024 is insane i feel like a kitten that just opened it’s eyes and starts so see the world….. i know that it’s from now on a lifelong journey so i also want to become flexible and strong to enjoy life despite all 💯🫵🏻
i also learned that my heart fills with joy when i travel by myself so i want to take myself somewhere 🌫️
How exciting!!! I wish u all the best on this new journey 🌟 you’ll be great! Happy early birthday 🎂
Why is this so relatable T-T
I've actually put an exercise goal this year, of getting a muscle ache at least one time a week. I haven't done any proper exercise in the last half year because of a staying foot pain, and now my body is screaming for exercise. Very motivating video for me!!!
Hahaha that’s such a unqiue goal 😆 I love it!
Happy New Year Leah''🌷 it’s so good to see you back and have been waiting for your updates only ,sending lots of love '💗,
You've finally updated！！！😭
Hiii Leah! 🥰 I want to incorporate more meaningful moment into my life as well! Happy New Year! 🎈
happy new year leah!!!!! 🎉
Happy new year 🥳
THIS MADE MY DAY LOVE YA
YAYYYY 💕❤️💝love u too!
Welcome back, you whippedy whipplesnapper !
You were sorely missed.
When the world needed you most, you reappeared (cue the Avatar Last Airbender title music).
Also, lovely Loki reference ^^
this was really motivating for me :) i've had an on-off relationship to the gym and pilates and whenever i restart the goal of moving regulatly, i set my standards wayy to high and get overwhelmed. luckily it's already not body or weight-loss focused anymore but it's still not fair to myself and my abilities and i want to change that. i can't afford personal training right now but i plan to start small again by myself and also find a group sport to do, maybe even find some new friends there?
anyway thanks for talking about this in such a calm and motivating way🥰
Awww showing up is what counts most! I’m sure you’ll find an amazing group of ppl to workout with 💗
i want to get my own apartment this year and work more on my dreams!!
Wooooooooh that’s so huge!!!!! I’m jelly !!!
I like your mom have also recently joined the pickleball craze :)
Aaaaa i miss you, long time no see❤❤❤
🤗❤️💕
GIRL WHERE HAVE YOU BEENN 😭💗
Huehuehuehue updates soon 🤓
终于更新了！
🙇🏻♀️
Aaahhh I still remember that 2020 video like it was yesterday :')
Going into adulthood and seeing your vids and realizing the burnout is starting to take effect, this vid was refreshing though.
Also really weird to see you not have armpit hair after knowing you had it for ages (from the archive footage of you in the gym) 😂😂
U re awesome 🤩 bravo ❤
🫶🙇🏻♀️
I was literally just thinking about you Queen
ooop hiiii I’m back 🤗
IM SO HAPPY👩🏾🍳💕
This comes just in time :D I also want to work out more but I just get dizzy so fast. But you include the struggle, so people can see that thats just part of the journey! One questions though: shouldn't it be more clear that you are sponsored?
There’s a paid promotion sticker that should appear right before the video and in the middle! Is it visible? :0 I did reach out tho so it’s definitely something I wanted to try regardless or sponsorship or not :) also if u get dizzy fast take it slow maybe start w walking to build up your strength! and maybe check iron levels 💗
Loved this x
视频做的真好！一秒都不愿意错过。。

leahhhh running is very difficult for me too :/ but weightlifting feels therapeutic
I agree!!!
I want to learn how to hold my breathe longer under water , float on water and go to the deep end ❤😆
Not her posting this when I was about to look up workouts for myself to get healthy in the new year🥹🥲🩷

Yayyyy!!! Sending u lots of love 💗 happy new year!

THANKS FOR BEING INSPIRATIONAL QUEEN and taking me to Hamilton GoodLife I wish I took a video of us lol
@@leahsfieldnotes LOL OH YAAA that was so fun :,) you did so well!!
I would like to sign up for this community
beautiful video
longtime viewer & first time commenter! leah, thanks for your beautiful spirit. i would recommend checking out soul fire farm in new york - they are a community farm led by bipoc focused on food sovereignty and have lots of volunteer opps and immersions. i worked there two summers ago and learned so much, including practicing herbalism and learning about tcm! i have a similar vision of creating a community retreat center & farm in detroit!
