    My word for 2024 is me. I have neglected me for 54 years and that’s over. I cook and clean and clean and cook for everybody else. Sometimes I don’t even eat myself but everyone else does. I’ll make sure everybody else gets to the doctors and yet I haven’t had my OB/GYN exam in over two years. Those are the things that will be corrected in 2024. I will be putting me first. I’m off to a pretty decent start. I must be honest It feels strange. But I’m gonna break through that wall until it becomes the norm in my life. Wishing everyone out there. Great success with their 2024 goals.❤🎉

    I think the best tip for middle motherhood I received from a friend is when my daughter is upset asking if she wants advice or to vent. Sometimes she wants advice, but most of the time she simply wanted to vent and feel heard.

    I agree, authenticity wins the race😊. No need for click-bait titles, unnecessary drama, or jumping on bandwagons. From the viewer's perspective...it gets old and tiring. Those that have rocked with you will continue to do that because we appreciate your authenticity and your commitment to making quality content. Let's keep God in everything we do😊 Also, love your hair😍
    My focus/word for 2024 is "simplify". This includes all aspects of my life..work,home, and in relationships. Sometimes I think we make things too complicated because we're dodging reality. This year, it's my goal to be more mindful about that.

    I am right there with you. It feels like I went from "knowing everything" to "knowing nothing" (including an eyeroll from my 7th grader) overnight. I struggle with not wanting to alienate her, but also raising a respectful daughter that people want to be around. It's rough!

    My word is Serenity. 2023 tried to take me out with my marriage and mom being sick. I just want Serenity this year!

    I have never done a word of the year but after watching this, I decided my word is DISCOVERY! I need to figure out who I am going to be in the last half of my life!

    I miss videos of the Sunday reset. And I know that your life has changed as the girls got older but would like to see more of that. I am loving the talks because us moms need that. We just need to also know that we're feeling the same thing. Perhaps, if you can do this monthly of what you enjoyed and what you still need to do would help us connect more. Your weekly dial and Sunday reset, I felt more connected.

    I love your channel because you are a woman who wants to be the best person she can be. The best Wife, Mom, Daughter, and friend. To me, your channel is your journey to becoming that. I absolutely love it because that's my goal in life. You are real and there is no shame here just motivation and you wanting the same for everyone else here.
    As for shop with me, I don't watch them anymore. I'm on a journey to take better control of our money. Having self-control and not always wanting something else all the time. Being content with what we have. I feel like we are being sold something everywhere you look on Instagram and I'm over it. Just one person's thoughts on it.

    My word is Positivity. A positive mindset is the breeding ground for creativity, expansive and visionary, thinking, empathy, cooperation and connection.

    Jia, I have been watching you for at least 8 years now and I just wanted to tell you that I have really loved the last two videos that you have shared. I understand what you were saying about the disconnect at times, but these videos have brought me right back to your old content that I loved so much-just you being you and feeling like getting together with a girlfriend 💛.
    I also want to applaud you for sharing your true feelings and being honest about your insecurities. It is so refreshing in a world that is striving for perfection that is just not attainable. When you were talking about the comparison between your channel and other larger channels or more views, I just wanted to encourage you because I remember when you were a relatively small TH-cam channel and look at you now, girl!!
    My favorite videos of yours were always the Sunday Set Ups and your heart to hearts. And of course I love a good decluttering any day! More than anything, you have always just been relatable doing your everyday tasks right along with the rest of us and making me smile and laugh in the process! Looking forward to more of your videos in 2024!

    I love how real you keep your videos, Jia, when soooo many You tubers seem to disappear into their own hype! My word for this year is Self-help, putting myself out of my comfort zone by putting my health and wellbeing first, it's a toughie! We got this!

    I have 4 daughters, when they argue, I let them cool off. Then I try to let them talk it out. My word is discipline.

    @princesslibra930 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I haven’t been watching any of your videos and I felt the disconnect as well. I was just about to unsubscribe because I thought maybe people grow apart, but something told me to watch this video. I appreciate you taking the accountability regarding the disconnect. So l I’ll hang out for a few and see what’s next maybe we can reconnect again. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Here’s to another year hopefully🥂

    My word for 2024 is AUTHENTIC or AUTHENTICITY. I want to make sure I show up as my true self in every situation - professionally, personally, mothering, etc. I want to make sure I'm not wearing a mask and that I don't dim my light to let others feel like they can shine. We can all shine together!!!

  • @brianagriffin5235
    @brianagriffin5235 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    My word of the year shall be “rediscover”. I want to rediscover myself this year.

    I feel like you should talk more about this parenting stage. Your content about you being a working mom is what drew me to your channel.

    My new word for 2024 is adventurous I want to try news things and adventures with my family looking forward to traveling this summer. The changes I made in 2024 were I left a position at a early childhood program through a local school system. This job became toxic with the new administrators they hired being rude and condescending she thought she was superior . I can not work in a environment like that and that's when I left and went to work for a daycare that teaches children ages infant - preschool. Once I walk in the door everything going on in my life gets left at door and the same when I leave for day.

    @thekaileykizzeshow1851 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I felt so seen when you spoke about middle motherhood. But at least your girls have activities that they are sticking to. Right now my daughter has started a lot of things but she can't seem to stick to any. I keep telling myself that she will find her thing eventually but its been a minute. She has decided to join track next, I will see how that goes.

It's coming to an end February 2024 and I am looking forward to getting my Life back 😄 I am sorry Jia it's just that so much has been going on in my life and I feel that I am coming through it.

    I love your positivity! Keep doing you! I have one middle schooler, and one upper elementary… Both boys! The 12-year-old seems to be less with the backtalk, smarty pants behavior. Somewhere around nine years old to about 11, that’s all he did. Now my youngest is nine, and guess he’s doing! 😖😭

    I hope that you keep sharing your health journey. I look forward to those videos. I need to go through my garage and declutter. We have been married for over 30 years and we have never gone through all our boxes. Every time we moved we just moved the boxes.

    @celeshite6433 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have been watching your channel for years. I loved the debt free free Friday and Sunday setups the most. I also enjoy the " what I eat" and health checkins. To be honest I have not watched lately because most of the content has been shop with me's. It seems like all of my favorite TH-camr's have switched to this type of content. I love you energy and authenticity. Please do more videos like this one. I have 4 children btw 22 and 20 yo sons, 13 and 9 yo daughters.

    You're doing fine!!! I'm glad I found you when I did, last year right when you started the declutter with the professional phase.
    My word for 2024 is Consistency.... making sure I practice more Consistency on the things I need to do in order to have the results I want from my actions put forth. I hope that makes sense.

    I love Cooking City. When I sit in my chair at night to relax, I play that game. Maybe 1/2 hour a day.
    I dont understand the whole "middle mom" thing. I guess from the time I became a mom I knew that there were different struggles with different ages and it was what it was. We dealt with each new age shift as it came. We have 7 so we had several in a certain season at any given time and we just adjusted. I loved every single new season of their lives. Not saying that it wasnt tough or overwhelming at times, but it was ALWAYS such a joy and I would do it all over again if I could

    Heyyy we definitely our connected especially when you dropped your declutter videos and you talked at the end and spoke how you was raised with exemplary leadership with women and how they were able to manage it all and you said that’s not me and I welcome help and support and being teachable thank you for that video sometimes when I get overwhelmed I go back to that video
    Also tips for video suggestions
    1.updates about mentally not over buying and the work your doing not to over buy
    2.talks about what you want your style to be now that you’re losing weight but gaining new outlooks on your body
    3. Book club you have a lot of good reads
    My word is resilience determination and I want to have a clear understanding of what I want
    Not what I hear

    Pick your battles!!! Not every thing it s a pick deal...safety is.!!! My daughter and i read aloud to each other every night...big books, like Harry Potter....right before bed...she was driving when we stopped. Helped calm her down for sleep and led into conversations. Also, car talks are great, particularly if you can have one child at a time. Its tough....but age 15 is the worst!!! She is grown and we are still close. Good luck!!!

    Respectfully, I think a lot of other content creators may get more views, especially on Costco hauls because they interact with the subscribers down in the comments. I noticed you may have hundreds of comments and you will only respond back to maybe one or two. Subscribers really want to interact with their favorite TH-camrs. So that’s just my suggestion and or my two cents as to how you possibly could get more views.🥰
