Zack, thank you for talking about this and the encouragement you give to us all. I have lost 11 family members since 2020, different reasons. And that was after losing my husband, my mom and my brother. It's been hard on me. Currently caring for my sister who has stage 4 breast cancer and my son who has MS. I have Lupus, so it is a difficult struggle every day. Taking care of my mental health is extremely important. Others struggle with worse situations and I always support getting help from a mental health provider. Thank you Zack.❤
I miss you all doing videos on the reg. I know you all are busy though! I just really enjoy being invited in your home and lives! You’re great people and an absolute joy to watch!
Nice to see you, Zack and thank you for keeping us up to date. Taking care of our mind and heart is totally important for survival, good health, and prosperity. May your days be filled with calmness and satisfaction in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. Love to you and your family.
I used to live in Barbourville back in the 90s. It’s a beautiful place. My landlord in Barbourville had a farm out in the countryside he would let us visit. Beautiful people down there in Barbourville and beautiful countryside too. I had to medically retired a few years back and getting back on my feet and adjusting to the lifestyle changes haven’t been easy. For a few years I was wanting to be a market gardener selling at farmers markets but the entry barriers are big. I’ve now decided to only work to grow food and keep the costs of living as low as I can. Been preparing the raised beds and covering them to keep the chickens from kicking all the dirt out of the beds. God bless you and never give up!
Zach, I’ve been sending for a long time that something wasn’t right. The decline in gardens, your store, the cattle, and all the other animals. In listening to you over the past two years, I could see you were truly down. I thought we’re getting ready to give it all up and begin doing something different. I’m SO glad you are getting counseling. It’s a life saver for many people! I look forward to y’all’s next adventure! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Zac, you and your family are a blessing and joy to watch. We live in the east Tennessee Appalachian region near Gatlinburg (Jeff Co.) I often think of you when we're out and about and how your family loves this area. I think you and Jenn should be our neighbor. 😊 Jenn could help me when I get Nubian goats in the spring.
Present day society and personal situations can make life harder than at other times. Therapy is always a good decision. Nothing wrong with it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good for you, Zach! Wishing you, Jenn and the kids nothing but the best. ❤
Love it when you said you were gonna stop wishing for what it was but start wishing for what is best for your family to move forward in the future.REALLY LOVE THAT. I wrote that down.❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. It’s so hard and it last forever. It gets easier but you sure do miss all of them. My sincere condolences. Much love and God‘s blessings to you and your family. ❤️💯❤️🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing and being so honest a lot of us struggle in silence until we hear someone say it's ok to not be ok just do something about it God bless you and your family 🙏🏼 ❤
I'm sure this video will help others, "Sadly, too often, the stigma around mental health prevents people who need help from seeking it". There is a definite stigma, I was guilty myself but realized we can't give up on ourselves. Kudos to you.
I understand I listen to my sister 2 years ago this month . Some days the grief is more than I think I can handle . I also am grieving the loss of the husband I use to have . He is still with me but he has Parkinson’s with dementia. So he is still here but not here . We have been together for49 years and it’s grief for memories he doesn’t remember.
I can identify with you Zach. What you and Jen have gone through in 5 years is A LOT! I had something similar, and thought I was doing good. Fast forward a couple of years and my life began to spiral. You are doing the right thing in talking with a therapist. I hope more people take notice of Betterhelp, it can be a life changer if it is done correctly. God Bless you, Jen, and your precious children!!
My grandson was hit & killed by a car Halloween 2019 then I lost 8 family members during covid and 3 pets all within 2 yrs. I crashed for 3 years and did nothing. I'm up again but some times I just want to isolate. Thanks for talking about this
Bless you Zack, don’t waste your days on earth being tarnished & taken away from you. Life is so precious, as we age we realize that our days are numbered and each day should be filled with joy and happiness. Your 78 year old friend from Texas. A new beginning. ♥️
Good for you !! Many people are unwilling to move forward because they don't want to let go of the ideas that seem to support their foundation . When I realize a concept that is no longer serving my best interest...I turn it into a feather. When I get enough feathers it turns into wings ... and then I will be able to fly. Nothing is ever lost...just prioritized ... Blessings to you and yours ❣
I am 60.I have lost 18 aunts and uncles,grandparents,father in law,parents and several first cousins,and several young people of closest friends.I look back on my younger days and those people are all gone.I guess it is a part of life.I know my son was pall bearer of friends many times before he even graduated from high school.Its very difficult.Grief is real.
Zack, I know you don’t know me but I am very happy that you have taken this step to get the help you need to navigate the future! Peace and blessings on you and your family!
Thanks for talking about this. We lost our son almost 3 years ago to suicide. We knew he was depressed but did not know the depth. It has been hard knowing we did not know how bad he was hurting.
After 2019/20 we ALL could benefit from therapy. I started beginning of last year. It is reassuring sometimes just to see they are not judging. They are there to listen to you. (I don't use this program, but I love seeing people working on their JOY) ❤❤
I hope you are all well and that you can find what us best for you all. Hoping some videos will be in the future but will keep watching the shorts for sure! God be with your family ❤️
Zach, sorry for your mental health. As a hospice nurse I’ve followed y’all for years the stress all go through is individualized the process at each step is individual. There is no guilt for your feelings. Believe in the process of healing along GOD IS ALWAYS there. As said HE never lets you carry a burden you are not able.
🙏 🙏 🙏 I understand the loss and how hard it is, especially for me being in my 70s. I lost my mother-in-law in 2013 after caring for her for 8 yrs, lost my momma 2 yrs later after 20 yes of horrific bone disease, she was almost a foot shorter when she passed- she lived with me and my hubby for 35 yrs, then my aunt who was my best friend 4 years later. It was rough, all tge time caring from my hubby wh had 2 different kinds of muscular dystrophy. H spend 25 yrs in an electric wheelchair, robbed of all freedoms. We were together 50 yrs, married 48. You're not alone and I am so proud of y'all, recognizing y'all were affecting Jen and the kids, not just y'all. Y'all got the help yall so badly needed help. I'll also proud y'all are sharing it with the world. God blessall y'all. Praying, julie
Zack and Jenn, and kids, you, your family, are so loved❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Your life is so what I'm thinking, feeling. One thing I know. GOD IS GOOD. 🍂🎃🍂🍂 BE BLESSED. ❤
It's a shame so many people shun the medical professionals . Many I know would be alive today had they seeked out help instead of being " anti" all of it.
Depression is just plain awful. Had it most of my life but didn’t know it. Just thought it was low self esteem which is a big part of it. This last month I started a carnivore way of eating mostly because I have diabetes and chronic arthritis. Well to my surprise my depression went within 2 weeks. It might help you Zac.
It always comes down to money for me. I really could use help but I don't want to get my hopes up so I haven't even asked. I've heard a lot of good things about this service, so maybe one day I can find out how much it is! Luckily I have close friends who swear that I'm not being a burden when I need to talk. * I know ...Of course that's what they're going to say. Lol Zach, I'm so glad that you finally got over that bias that you had. It's just how you were raised but you were strong enough to look past it 😊
I can't see where he said anything about not seeking help from God...who do think led him to get this help? A true Christian would embrace getting help and NOT judge.
Zach I'm sorry you are being through hard times as many ppl are these days but your talk left me with a bitter taste .. you were doing a sale promotion instead of just coming out and saying that things are rough with you or whatever and then maybe slip in a special word about your sponsor. . But definitely not make it about betterhelp as you did. There are many options out there for ppl who want to seek help and I find it would have been more respectful to those going through hard times to encourage seeking help through their local mental health clinics family doctor etc. I am very disappointed that you chose to cash in ( and mentioning a discount for first month of service) on such sensitive health problems.
Wow. I was thinking how wonderful that he got the help he deserves through a sponsorship. That's what a sponsorship requires, an ad. I was rejoicing for this opportunity for him to get help and healing and your worries about YOU. Shame on you. Delete your message and save the guilt on someone who is already struggling. ZAC, don't listen to the haters. Much love to you and your family. ❤
@doranandbarbaramulder5834 he worked for a heath insurance company, I'm sure he had access to excellent health care. He has quit all the things that made him money. Is being sued by the previous home owners . A lot going on. Maybe what he needs is financial counseling as well
@@doranandbarbaramulder5834it seems from you comment that you categorize people who speak from the heart as haters. Everything said has to be in agreement or you are a hater.. wow.. no wonder that there are so many problem in the world .. I'm sorry but I give my heartfelt opinion and dont take offence from your comments. Why dont you let Zac address my comments himself.
Sorry it’s been tough for you Zach. We all have those moments. BUT talking to someone who isn’t affiliated with GOD our savior is NOT for me or my family. He is the only one who can FIX EVERYTHING. Often we don’t want to wait which is a shame. I won’t be following you as much anymore because of this. BUT I will add you to prayers. I suggest you pick up the Bible and ask God for help instead of a stranger.
If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor. Click betterhelp.com/Stivers for a discount on your first month of therapy.
I love your Chaste Tree tincture!

Zack you amaze me always. Jenn too. I really gained alot from hearing you say maybe it's just an off day physically and nothing more. Thank You!
I miss you all doing videos on the reg. I know you all are busy though! I just really enjoy being invited in your home and lives! You’re great people and an absolute joy to watch!

There is no timeframe with grief. No rules. So happy to hear you are finding comfort in the process. Big to you Zach.

@@Fugateathome51 thank you for sharing about your son. It always helps to know when you're not alone.
I cannot imagine...I am so sorry for your loss 😢

Thanks for sharing, definitely the words of encouragement I needed to hear, in a similar situation. Sending positive vibes from Va

Thanking you all for sharing. I know exactly how you feel. I love watching you all. We all have life issues. Lv and Prayers to you all.
You are doing the right thing Zack.❤
Mental health is important! So glad you found a great place to help. Such an important issue to discuss
Everyone can benefit from therapy. Proud of you for being courageous enough to do it. Love you guys! ❤
After 2019/20 we ALL could benefit from therapy.
I started beginning of last year. It is reassuring sometimes just to see they are not judging. They are there to listen to you.

Many prayers,my friend!!!!!!

Do you guys have a DIY book of how you make your products or how you prepare healthy foods with your products? God bless:)
One day at a time ❤
💚
I can't see where he said anything about not seeking help from God...who do think led him to get this help? A true Christian would embrace getting help and NOT judge.
❤❤🙏
Grieving is very normal and will continue through out the rest of our lives,u need a grieving councilor not a therapist,they r not the same,
❤
🤗 ❤
Hello
Maybe you don’t want to farm and homestead anymore? Find a job and don’t be a victim ❤
You look a lot older than you should be if your father and step father were in their 50’s when they passed away.
