  • Hiiiii!! In this video, I bring you along for one whole week in my life in NYC, attempting to get it together & kick seasonal depression to the curb before the first day of Spring! 🥳 This is a verrryyy realistic week of errands, work, anxiety, time with friends, and just figuring it out day by day.
    I was envisioning this to be a fun, lighthearted vlog to help keep me accountable and get me back in my creativity... but some real life things popped up and made it kind of heavy for a couple days. I feel like a wimp right now because I cocooned myself at home too much this winter. I'm so ready to build back my tolerance for handling the hard stuff.
    Thanks for hanging out with me! 🤗💖

    One trick is check how early sunset is in the far north once fall comes around. That's helped me a bit though I usually prefer to be close to home once it's dark in late fall. Don't force yourself to do things when you're not ready. Never hurts to pray for everybody or at least their families everyday. That's how I got my wallet back after only about 16 hrs.

    Hi Stephanie, hope all is well and curious if you are going to release your video about your Camino in Portugal. Loved the Walk Through Fire and hoping to see another video soon!

    Great to have another insight into your world again.
    London is very similar, so you are not alone. We all have these issues in big cities. Keep strong and be positive.
    It was lovely to hear that Quintin stays in touch and I hope he and his mum have a wonderful camino.
    It would be cool to have a vlog where everyone from your camino de Santiago dials in to you via an online reunion and gives you (and us) an update on where they are now, how they have been. There were some great people on that camino, it’d great to see them again. Getting together in person wouldn’t be viable option due to distance and cost, but online would work. Just a thought for a video.
    Also it’d be great to see how you got on with the Portuguese camino with your mum.
    Be kind to you and positivity will follow

    I know it's not easy taking care of life issues. One piece of advice is to get out of the city and move to the suburbs or even the country. Some place less hectic. Breath the air and feel the breeze. Remember the time you spent on the Camino and how it made you feel. Do that again.

    Sometimes being self employed and on your own schedule means that it’s hard to to develop a routine. Have you considered taking a non-mentally taxing part time job until wedding season kicks off like working in a cafe or some such to get a bit more routine happening? That can be great for mood

    ...so nice to just find your video now, Stefanie - oddly enough you popped into my mind the last few days, after months of not seeing anything, in fact the last video I remember was your Xmas one!
    I love your style of filming, and giving us watchers an so honest peek into your daily joys and challenges... you're not alone, Stefanie, I believe that many of us can find ourselves in similar struggles... e.g. I was beating myself up a lot over the past winter months for not doing enough, worrying about money, and what it is that I actually do for living a meaningful life... I have currently about 1/2 dozen things that I push forward to the 'next day', instead of doing them right now... e.g. today I at least solved one of them, and decided to be okay with that achievement... sometimes its just one step at a time.
    Your trip to Coney Island with your friend Stefanie looked like so much fun, and also the TV 'giggle' night before - your friends have certainly not 'abandoned ' you, and were so delighted to see you, and I was also so happy to hear, that Quentin was in touch, and walks the Camino Portuguese now with his mother - fab!! Exactly that camino has been lurking in my subconsciousness for a while now... I guess the time draws closer to me stuffing my toothbrush & towel in my bag, and hop on the plane to Porto!
    I wish you so much that you can move more into 'progress' mode, but also bear in mind: always love yourself, just simply for who you are... achievements are useful and important, and so satisfying, but self-love should not depend on it! 💖

    I have your solution. It's a CAMINO xo. May I also make a suggestion. I have followed you thru your Camino Adventures as is why you popped up on my feed. I am a Funeral Director in Australia. We are using videographers and photograhers more and more these days for funerals. You also have the Visual Tribute side of things for Funerals. Look into it. There is a Market there.

      Btw that's a great idea, thank you Toby!! I actually recently met a wedding officiant who mentioned getting trained for funerals, and how fulfilling it is to be there to comfort families. I'm going to look into it! 💜

      @@StefanieHurtado your other option and I mentioned this to a mate who does the videos for funerals. Advertise packages for a family history video. Get all the pics one has, scan or download them and put it to music. You do two or three a week in NYC or Brooklyn and you are looking at a couple grand a week. Just advertise it thru socials, word of mouth and letterbox drops. Say 300 pics a thousand bucks. Food for thought!
