as a person also going through burnout (for different reasons) I send you solidarity and love. also bring forth the belated content. here for all it :)
I like vlogs. I don't think it matters much when the footage was filmed, if the end result is fun to watch. I go back and watch old vlogs all the time.
I relate so hard to the toddler-related burnout. Spending all day with a toddler is intense and non-stop, especially for an introvert, as you have to be "on" all the time and constantly have another person climbing all over you. It doesn't leave much left at the end of the day. I don't have any advice (not that you asked for it), but you are not alone in feeling this way.
Heck yes put out the east coast vlog stuff. Love seeing you enjoy my home town ❤. Burnout is rough. I am not doing the greatest either and I dont have a small human. Life is rough sometimes
I think the parenting burnout is a major issue that isnt being talked about out addressed nearly enough. We have so much more parenting information, for better or worse, than older generations. Its great because it will hopefully mean our children grow up with tools we didn't, however to achieve it puts massive strain on us. I wish more of the parenting content talked about this part. That yes, it is so much healthier to parent our kids with respect, patience, and kindness, but how do we ensure it is sustainable when doing so is majorly draining.
It does seem like a leaky boat doesn't it. I have all the tools but so many holes to patch at once and I think people had more of a village than most parents have nowadays. One of the things I realized about parenthood is that you have to parent yourself and heal your inner child while simultaneously keeping yourself regulated to parent your child. It's bonkers.
Lisa, I love your content! Keep it coming, at your own pace, whether it's from 10 years or days back, I'm sure I'll enjoy it! The road trip series was really fun 🥰 Take care of you!
Cheesy tuna noodle casserole is a traditional comfort food here in Michigan. When someone dies, it’s common to make a big thing of it for the family and guests. ❤
I love it when one of your video's pop's up to watch, I'd love to see a video of you making the hiananese paste, specifically because you know exactly how it's supposed to taste, I can't imagine anything here in Ireland is really close to how it should be, please consider doing one on the paste as I desperately wanted to eat what you made as I was watching it. Anyway, lovely to see you and I'm sure we would all love to watch your vlogs no matter how old they are. Much love xx
LISA WE FRICKING LOVE YOU! SO MUCH! i could literally watch you talk for hours and hours on end lol. thank you super much for this video! and don't you worry about being too absent or anything, take as much time as you need!
Offering encouragement from someone whose child survived being raised by a stressed, burned-out, confused mom! 😅 I offer parents of toddlers the validation that what they like or want to do changes by the moment, it is indeed nearly impossible to get much of anything done while trying to keep a very active toddler alive, and yes, your own self does actually disappear from your daily reality. For me, raising a child was 5 years of intensive focus on them and very little energy left for myself. Lisa, you are absolutely correct when you speak of the bittersweet nature of watching their babyhood leave and be replaced by what is, quite frankly, not as adorable. I can definitely say there will be more sweet and adorable moments to come, but they will be very different types of sweetness. You are doing a good job trying to understand your child and balance what they want with what they need. Hang in there!
This is very validating and makes me feel less like a failure of a human haha. Over the past year or so I have constantly questioned if something were wrong with me because I can't do half the things I used to be able to do anymore because I just am so tired at the end of the day. I had promised myself at the beginning of this journey that I wouldnt lose my sense of self and lo and behold, a year into parenthood I had completely lost sight of who I was anymore.
@@Thevietvegan Yes, I understand. I think it is worse for moms at this time because of a couple of factors. Most of you were raised by GenX moms who were killing ourselves to be full-time at everything - mom, spouse, professional - and "never let them see you sweat". Plus, a lot of us were functionally single parents, even if there was a spouse/partner/father in the house. We were mostly a wreck on some level and I think many of our children developed a list of What I Will Never Do As A Parent, not realizing that a large amount of what their moms did was because they were a mom,not a crazy Gen Xer and it would be the same for Millennial moms. Final super-stressor for all of your generation are the norms, values and expectations presented by social media. Lifestyle and Mommy Bloggers are all presenting unattainable ideals. Even if you never watch one of these types of vlogs or videos, their reach is ubiquitous. Please be kind to yourself and to your marriage. As a viewer, I can see via your recipe development that you strive for excellence. I can relate. I eventually evolved to see that excellence is everyone is still alive at the end of the day. This is not forever, even though it absolutely feels like it and you don't know if you can keep doing this, you're doing it wrong, etc. We as moms, if we are honest, will always find memories with our children that we deeply wish we could have done differently. Doing the best you can in the moment, whatever that might be, however small/unimportant it might seem, is the most loving thing you can do for yourself and your Bean. 💞
Lisa, I loved this, thank you. You are raising an amazing human being so feeling tired or burnt out is completely understandable. Been following you for about 6.5-7 years now and I would love to see those vlogs from last year if you ever get around to it. Also love the fact that you are using they/them pronouns for your child and the reasoning behind it. Such interesting recipe ideas! Gusta is amazing, have you tried the plant-based Tuna from dollorama yet (Tuno)? JUST learned it even exists haha, and from Dollorama out of all places.
Also in the overwhelm an burnout stage right now. Love how you reframe the terrible twos and celebrate the growth. Hang in there. We're still here. You can totally post the old vlogs.
No dull days watching your content! I particularly love the voiceover you've given to SO MANY recipes. I send you love and burn-out companionship, if that would ever help. And, as so many other comments say - no content is old content, all content is content! And, if it helps - the pronunciation of gol gappas is "goal g-appa-s" or the easier way to refer to it is paani puri, which you pronounced correct;y! :)
Lisa! I'm sorry to hear about the burnout. I really wish you could have gotten some kickback from two recent purchases that you inspired- I bought the black sesame drink- and I've been really enjoying it. I also ordered the Ketchup Cheetos from Canada for a ridiculous amount of money ($60 for two bags) , and they are OK. Not as delicious as I was hoping, but I am recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and I"m on prednisone, and my taste is all off. My kids were excited to try them though. I am here for any vlog content you wan to put out!
It’s ok . I remember having an infant & a toddler. Now they’re in the early/mid 20’s, & I’m a Glam-ma m, about to be 50,with a 2& a half & almost 1yr old grand ones . I’m excited to hear their bilingual versions as they are both Hispanic & Caucasian .
for toddler and food, don't worry if theyre tastes are changing. theyre literally growing so their palette is going to change. it should (hopefully) settle as you go
Hey Lisa, thankful for any videos you put out in this difficult time. My sister is in a very similar phase of life so I see the challenges firsthand. I made your chocolate chip pumpkin muffins recipe and they turned out great! But just a heads up there's no temperature to bake at on your recipe so I guessed 350 and they were a little bit underdone so wondering what temperature you bake them at?
I’m also trying to navigate burnout… with a 3yo even! We passed the picky stage about 6 months ago and now they’re back to eating everything I eat. It felt like it took forever to get out of the “mac n cheese” phase, but fortunately we’re back to adventurous eating. The most recent new try was cabbage soup. And they ate what seemed like an entire cabbage!
Oh man I'm so happy you're past it!! I can hold off for another few months, hopefully my kid follows suit with yours haha. A 3 year old seems so far off to me, and I can only imagine the burnout is hard at that age because they are capable of so much more 😅
I didn't catch the name of the dish, but the set it and forget it with the rice, tofu and broccoli looks just up my aisle. Trying to figure out how to use all our ingredients in our home has been a struggle for me, so trying to plan a bit more and seeing how far groceries go has contributed to a bit of burnout for me. :/ It's a tough season with the cost of things rising!
Take your time and I will do what I can to help you, I.e. watching your video and their commercials. The child and your health need to be your top priorities. All the best!
My daughter also hated any potato that wasn't a French fry as a toddler, and still does now as a teen. Doesn't matter how it's prepared, if it's not a fry, she doesn't want it.
yes please to belated content 🥰 as someone who loves pani puri and had the realisation it is much cheaper to make at home I say just make it at home unless you know it will be super good 😂 the shells would require a specialty store trip so I often use mini puppadums instead 🙈I’m sorry! 😅
It’s so hard feeding kids! My kids are 11 and 13 and it’s still a struggle. When I look at the big picture my kids really do pretty well. But the day in and day out I feel the struggle. We still go through loving something one day and not the next….so confusing 😝
Being a new mom while working is tough. I was in grad school during the pandemic with a 2 year old and the burnout was real. Take the time you need. Also, how do you get your toddler to eat soup??
Omg i have swiss cheese for brains right now, i respect you so much for doing grad school and toddler during the pandemic :O Bean has seen me eat soup like once a week since birth and I serve them the soup chunks to feed themselves and broth separately to drink now
I don't know wtf is happening but I have now for some months not getting vegan notifications - not from any of the channels even the ones I've been subscribed to for over 12 years! Some nonsense up with YT. Will now watch all videos I haven't seen.
Hello lovely one. I'm so sorry to hear this, the first thing that came to my mind is long covid, could it be that?? I love your videos but don't want you to push yourself.
Hmm maybe? I feel like it’s been happening since before COVID though, maybe not as like intensely. Tbh I think its a combo of being over 30, lack of sleep, parenting exhaustion and unmedicated ADHD 😅
Why in heavens name are you using a third person to refer to your child? Makes them sound like they have a multiple personality disorder . People take this crap to far.
as a person also going through burnout (for different reasons) I send you solidarity and love. also bring forth the belated content. here for all it :)
Yes to East Coast vlogs! I love your vlogs and have missed you! Look after yourself! A fellow Canadian from London ON!!!❤❤❤
Nothing better after a long day than some vietvegan words. Thank you Lisa. ❤

Take you time, be gentle with yourself, balance will come.

Luv ya Lisa. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly. Creators get sick if we don't create parts of us die😊
My niece went through an anti-mush phase around that age: avocados were the enemy but straight lemons were fine
I’m a new subscriber!
Love your channel 😊
Great thanks for sharing
I just got back to making videos after a 2 year hiatus
I will take all the content you want to put out- old or new!
I’m with Bean… potatoes are a no go unless they are fried
I don't know wtf is happening but I have now for some months not getting vegan notifications - not from any of the channels even the ones I've been subscribed to for over 12 years! Some nonsense up with YT. Will now watch all videos I haven't seen.
I love your IG content/ stories
Walmart/Great Value has a really good accidentally vegan egg noodle called the "Egg-Free Wide Pasta Ribbons."
Omg what?! I've never seen those. I'll check the next time I'm in a walmart.
You've got a lot on your plate, and it's important you take care of you as much as you can! :) Also, did the discord get all of the channels deleted?
Not unless Discord was like hey doofus, this channel is dormant and self deletes haha. I should check on it though
Just to say my toddlers don’t like potatoes. I think it’s just a weird texture. Like mush and not really a flavour. Idk!
yayyyy new video
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Toddlers are creative with language, don’t try to “fix” it, just model the correct way and they will catch on!
Hello lovely one. I'm so sorry to hear this, the first thing that came to my mind is long covid, could it be that?? I love your videos but don't want you to push yourself.

I don’t share my child’s sex, name or face online so I use they/them pronouns on my channel. It’s not that deep lol
how else would she even refer to her child other than in third person? first person?
I didnt even clock this hahaha
@@Thevietveganmakes sense anonymity is important to keep your child safe, good for you
She's trying to protecting her child from media I think that wonderful that's she's shielding her child from any harm as our world is crazy
You had a can of ice tea with honey in it
You still not vegan you eat honey
