I feel like Shelby is the only influencer that isn’t narcissistic in the slightest. Other TH-camrs talk about themselves so much. I dont know how to explain it. But I feel like Shelby is just amazing!
I feel like there is an excessive use of the attribute "narcissistic" which is an ectremely rare character trait (0.4% to be exact). Choose your words wisely
I have burnout just watching your schedule - so much travel, exercise and busy days with little chill in between! You should totally try and rest more, especially after travelling so much! You will find that productivity goes up when you get appropriate rest and relaxation :)
I’ll have to watch the full vid in a little bit once I’m done with school pick up, BUT… based off the thumbnail, I have to say, I believe a lot of millennials are dealing with burn out right now (myself included, so I feel you!). Like everything else we have had to deal with, this season will soon eventually pass and we will make it out on top. ❤ Huge hugs, Shelby!
Oh my word! It took me forever to get back on here to watch and I was mentioned 😅 Thank you for answering my question about the staycation! I know you and Monica enjoyed that time together. ❤❤ More huge hugs headed your way bc I see your burnout is multifaceted. From an outsiders perspective: you have soooo much going on (YT, moving, traveling, being in transition, etc). subconsciously I don’t think your brain is able to fully recharge every night so it’s effecting your sleep which is overflowing into everything else you’re doing & trying to accomplish. Systemically it’s wearing you down. Idk if you journal, but that may help? Lastly, I can’t figure out why your main channel videos don’t and aren’t performing better? They’re so well thought out and put together. Just know you have a view & like from me (I typically will comment too!), but I’m around regardless!
Burnout is a real thing that just comes and go unfortunately. Even as a college student I would feel burnt out at the end of midterm and finals weeks each semester. Now I just went through my first summer of post grad and I miss school more than most people probably do. Accepted my first full time job and starting next week. I’m lucky it’s remote but I’m worried about feeling burnt out easily since I’m not used to working full time.
Great vid Shelby, you are helping me be more accountable to myself just by watching your work ethic! I hope you find a fresh new beginning with plenty of sunlight wherever moving lands you, I hope we all do.
As a mom i can relate to your mom’s words Also my daughter just taught me about girl dinner so I find it hilarious that you mentioned it. Now that I live alone I get to have a lot of girl dinner and it’s fantastic
I work from home and I allow myself a 30 min “commute” to wind down and get out of work mode. I’m always go go go mentally and it helps me catch a breath before going into wife mode.
On the move, go live in your Palm Springs rental house for a while. Chill and take your time on the decision. Still off peak so won’t be giving up too much. Even with moving stuff twice probably worth it to get this decision right.
Regarding working from home and tricking your brain - I work 95% from home and I make it a rule to always put my laptop away in my desk drawer (laptop, charger - everything) whenever I’m done with work. It kind of helps me separate my work space from my living space.
I love watching your vlogs Shelby! When you talked about struggling with indecisiveness and trying to figure out what to do, I felt that so hard. I always feel like there's something else I could be doing and it can be hard to stay on task/stick to it. Also what you said about burnout really resonated with me as well. The constant grind I feel is hard and sometimes feels unsustainable even though I know I need to work hard to progress in my career which is frustrating and makes you question why you even do it in the first place. I think taking breaks and having some time to yourself helps keep the balance though so give yourself some grace and do things you love, it helps a lot 😊
With TH-cam, as with any job, there are good and bad parts to it. So even if you love most of it, there are always tough parts that you aren't going to enjoy! Nothing will be 100% great all the time!
There's a book called Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski - highly recommend checking it out! It's about how women specifically experience burnout and stress, and what you can do about it. Super informative and important read for every woman in my opinion!
Hey Shelby - just wanted to make a quick note re: lower rpm + less businesses spending (real) money on brand deals… I just have noticed for my agency that companies have pulled back spends unless whatever results we get them is 100% making them (provable) bank.. and even then some companies have pulled back… it’s been a weird year for my agency/companies too 😬 just gonna keep moving forward and hopefully thinks will equalize more sooner than later - thx for the video :)
Just some unsolicited feedback, I don’t think you should put so much emphasis on choosing somewhere to live based on the content you shoot there since it seems you travel to film most main travel videos anyway!!! And I personally love the vlogs more, which obviously can be done anywhere
Shelby, thank you for answering my question. I love that you're in Seattle and the vibe is who you are. However the townhouse is sending both you and Monica in a deep funk. You need to sell the townhouse and live where you are right by the water. Again Shelby thank you so much for allowing my TH-cam Channel to pop up. ❤️
Man I feel that re: the RPM and earnings drop ... Medium just changed their Partner Program and rug-pulled my earnings by 70% overnight. It's a lot harder to feel motivated once you're acclimatized to a certain level of payment for your work...
It's normal Shelby to get burn out! When you get a place with the right light, you will feel so much better! Just rest in between! You are doing a wonderful job! My things to do list keeps me on track. Enjoy your Chicago wedding with Sam and have fun.💖 It's warm there, and you picked the right dress! It's pretty! 🏖
I wish I could have met you, I live in Chicago! I’m actually visiting Seattle at the end of September but I think you might have moved by then 🥲 Definitely resonate regarding the burnout talk, hopefully it passes soon. Hope you had fun in Chicago ❤️ This vlog was a great post work de-stressor 🥰
She didnt come visit me so I am sad, LOL.... I want to know more of her trip to my home town area! oops now I know why, I should have crashed it, HAHA...
I love your videos. Once you're moved i bet you will feel grateful for the time you took to make the decision even if it was stressful af and having saved the money since TH-cam is slower and you can live at the townhouse for a good price. Also you do go to see Sam a lot and having no assistant while keeping up with two channels is A LOT. Moving videos do real well and you make them fun so im sure you will get back into the groove of things!
I've stayed at that hotel in St Edwards State Park for a week and it's absolutely incredible. You don't even feel like you're in the middle of an urban area. The hotel only had a couple of guests when I stayed there so it felt very private. Easily my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at.
Life in general gets burnout. It’s not a youtube issue LOL. Balance is very hard and as someone that has been in creative endeavors for quite awhile you have to have balance and mix it up. One thing I will say and plz know this is not criticism. It’s more of someone that lives a similar life. Why with all your travel do you even have alot of stuff that you have to store ect. As someone that travels a good deal not happy much was so freeing. That’s it and thanks for all you do. You are awesome.
I loved your latest main channel video ❤ it really felt like you were back in the swing of things. I think maybe because you didn't show that place in the vlogs, it was more interesting. When I finished watching I literally thought "this isn't getting rated 10/10". I'm wondering how well it did. Also, maybe being in the townhouse is too much like being at your parents's house. Your sister is there, the dogs, and it feels like a space to relax and have fun rather than to work.
Omg broken English is right by my office! Hope you had fun in Chicago! It’s the best time of year in the city, not sure if you guys were there during the air and water show but hope you got to see some of it :)
Shelby Shelby Shelbs Shelbs!!!!!!! I wish you would come visit Fargo, ND sometime. I'll be the best tour guide you've ever experienced. Come on, Shelbs!!!!!!
Shelby. I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure. 🤣🤣 I saw that expression on a desk in primary school and I always crack up when I think it. So, so, many years on and it still cracks me up. Anyone who works hard will suffer from burn out. From time to time, I literally hit the wall. So, then it's time to veg out and relax. Do something different for a week then the ideas start flowing again. We want you to look after yourself also. 🪃🪃🦘🦘🤗🤗
I love your channels and posts! So informative and inspiring! Nice to see you mom! All moms say… I’m always the last to know! Haha sorry for the burnout… but you seem to be facing it head on! ❤️
Great vlog Shelby! Regarding the move, hopefully you find the perfect place for you soon! In the meantime do you have to rush to move out when Monica and Jason go to CA or could you wrap up the year in the townhouse and take your time to look? Feeling burnt out - I totally relate! You're in a blah phase - we all go through them, just gotta find the fun moments amidst all the blergh lol. There is a light at the end of the tunnel :)
Everyone is entitled to their own feelings. But you’re only in your 20s, you don’t have a child/ children, a husband, or a “regular” full time job. It’s normal to not feel 100% all of the time, that’s how life is, not always perfect! Enjoy your youth & your life. You will have the rest of your life (especially in your later years) to stress & or experience true burnout after having a career for 30-40ish years lol. Maybe being a TH-camr isn’t all that great after all !?!?
Sad to hear that you don’t know where to move. I think, if the year you spent living in different places should have taught you one thing,It’s that you can always change your mind or maybe even deliberately moving around every year or two
I think burn out hits folks like yourself - self employed creators - harder. Instead of being given work from a boss, you have to go out and not only think of ideas but also put them in your chosen format (TH-cam). I would find it so tiring and why I'm glad I was able to do brainless office work for my pay cheque.
Seems like you are affected by your surroundings. Why not look for a coworking space for a month or 2. That way it gives you dedicated space. Might help ease the burn out for a bit. I have found it’s helped me break up the routine. I’ve been working from home for 5 years and I do it like once a year.
Put off moving if it is stressing you out. I’m sure you can probably still live in the townhouse. You can take the time to make a decision you will be happy with.
Oh I understand the indecisiveness feeling w/ my ADHD. I’m just trying to be a productive girlie and my brain won’t let me just focus on one thing at a time lol
@@jbm602920 so interesting. Of course I live in Oklahoma now so it’s like 105 + and humid during the summer so I guess I don’t always remember how nice west coast weather is.. though everywhere is heating up these days 🤷🏼♀️🫶🏻
How about a small modern apartment in LA for starters, maybe a room mate, then you have a base for striking at a teardown that could be magic. Interest rate is pushing 8% so housing could crash in convenient ways for you in a few months. You might get a tear down for 550k that would cost you a million last month. Maybe
You're stuck in a kind of analysis paralysis of where to move to... every potential city has pros and cons with no city really sticking out seemingly. I would almost suggest to just hang up a map on a wall and throw a dart, and that's where you're going to move to. Easier said than done of course :)
maybe you could buy an apartment building in LA!? renovate & rent it out! so many cool apartment buildings here that need serious love. & it would be a great investment... & lots of content
How i read the title: "I'm dealing with burnout so I'm going to Chicago" and i was like GURL MISTAKE TO GO TO THE EPICENTER OF OLD FART CORPORATE AMERICA
I can definitely relate to burn out. Had that a couple months ago and now feeling more comfortable. Working as a reseller is a constant hustle so I am constantly thrifting, listing and making sure my items sell. I have to just keep going all the time. Some days I have no energy and need extra motivation. One reason I listen to you and other TH-camrs to help me feel motivated and not get overwhelmed. Helps me slow down to relax as well. Sounds like travel is hard but also helps you get away.
Shelby - I'm not a doctor; but the indecisiveness and beginning one task and jumping to another was one of many markers I had when I was diagnosed with ADHD. I do have complex mental health diagnoses; and ADHD was one of the harder ones to diagnose for myself. And it's often the first thing professional assume- and I'm like no no no but I experience this, and that, and etc. That just beginning a conversation with your professional medical team may really help you with staying focused and on tasked. I've attempted many different techniques and skills over the years. But have ADHD medications- helped significantly and I saw that; and combination of accommedations in my environment was huge in being able to balance life better. Hope that whether it is or isn't ADHD you're able to get support, skills, therapy/meds/assessment you need! It can also be a sign of being stressed and overwhelmed and burned out. For me when I had a very bad burn out- is when I got diagnosed with Autism. Not saying you have ADHD or autism; but there may be something regarding neurodiversity that is definitely worth exploring!
The burnout talk is so me right now. I've been traveling so much and have a week of travel coming out again. I can't get into a flow, and it's messing me up. Also, brand deals are slower, so it feels less like an incentive. Interestingly, I am feeling like hiring people is something that will help me. There are some factors that I've learned about what creates burnout: 1. The work/investment and the result being misaligned 2. Having desires or goals that are not proving to be obtainable. Number 2 is the one that has proven to be the biggest for me. I have ambition and goals that I want to achieve, but not being able to get there makes me feel burnt out and unmotivated. Hiring people helps me with the progress and ability to obtain or reach those goals, which strangely helps me feel excited and not burnt out. It seems counter-intuitive to say working harder and DOING MORE can help you fight against burn out, but it's so true. I lost an editor and it really screwed me up big time as things slowed down tremendously and I couldn't get things done at the rate or velocity that I wanted...so I end up doing very little. Crazy.
that makes so much sense. I feel the same that I'm not quite hitting my goals, videos aren't turning out as good as I would like and I've also noticed less brand offers (it seems like for everyone!) hope you find another editor that you like!! I think we need to just give ourselves a little bit of a break with the travel because it's not the same as being productive at home!
I know you probably have more insight into this than an average subscriber, but would it benefit your channel to concentrate your videos on your main channel and make them more "lifestyle"? Meaning you can have vlog style videos but also a "feature" video here and there whenever you find a good topic. I do agree that from the outside looking in, you seem to have been more productive in your own place with good lighting, and everything else you explained, etc. I'm sure the stress of not knowing where you want to put down some roots isn't helping either. Here's to success on your quest for finding the right place, cheers!
@@shelbychurchvlogs Sending hugs from NYC! I’ve moved from NYC to California (and back) twice. Also in NYC (where I am now) I moved from one high rise to another on the same street. All the moves were brutal! 🤣 And everything in all of my moves went well. You will find a place that is just right for you and get through it! 🌸 💖

Put off moving if it is stressing you out. I’m sure you can probably still live in the townhouse. You can take the time to make a decision you will be happy with.
Yeah, I’m struggling with my TH-cam channel right now but got to just stay on the ground one day. Hopefully I can be like you.
That is so me so hard to stick to doing on thing when so much go on in our minds at all time it can be a lot !!! Your doing amazing though!!

I love it when you use profanity. I don't know why but I do like it.
If you planning traveling then what's the problem move to SC ?
That "commute is a positive" article was pure corporate propaganda lol
Lol oh gosh it could have been 😂
maybe you could buy an apartment building in LA!? renovate & rent it out! so many cool apartment buildings here that need serious love. & it would be a great investment... & lots of content
How i read the title: "I'm dealing with burnout so I'm going to Chicago" and i was like GURL MISTAKE TO GO TO THE EPICENTER OF OLD FART CORPORATE AMERICA
Hahahahaahahah
I can definitely relate to burn out. Had that a couple months ago and now feeling more comfortable. Working as a reseller is a constant hustle so I am constantly thrifting, listing and making sure my items sell. I have to just keep going all the time. Some days I have no energy and need extra motivation. One reason I listen to you and other TH-camrs to help me feel motivated and not get overwhelmed. Helps me slow down to relax as well. Sounds like travel is hard but also helps you get away.
Wait, you don't have AC at the townhouse????
Why are you choosing not to stay in Seattle?
Hey Shelby; can you remind me where your awesome traveling clothing set is from? Thank you!
That townhouse is way too dark! I could never live there. It would depress me. Monica should lease it and buy a different place.
Shelby - I'm not a doctor; but the indecisiveness and beginning one task and jumping to another was one of many markers I had when I was diagnosed with ADHD. I do have complex mental health diagnoses; and ADHD was one of the harder ones to diagnose for myself. And it's often the first thing professional assume- and I'm like no no no but I experience this, and that, and etc. That just beginning a conversation with your professional medical team may really help you with staying focused and on tasked. I've attempted many different techniques and skills over the years. But have ADHD medications- helped significantly and I saw that; and combination of accommedations in my environment was huge in being able to balance life better. Hope that whether it is or isn't ADHD you're able to get support, skills, therapy/meds/assessment you need! It can also be a sign of being stressed and overwhelmed and burned out. For me when I had a very bad burn out- is when I got diagnosed with Autism. Not saying you have ADHD or autism; but there may be something regarding neurodiversity that is definitely worth exploring!
The burnout talk is so me right now. I've been traveling so much and have a week of travel coming out again. I can't get into a flow, and it's messing me up. Also, brand deals are slower, so it feels less like an incentive. Interestingly, I am feeling like hiring people is something that will help me. There are some factors that I've learned about what creates burnout: 1. The work/investment and the result being misaligned 2. Having desires or goals that are not proving to be obtainable.
Number 2 is the one that has proven to be the biggest for me. I have ambition and goals that I want to achieve, but not being able to get there makes me feel burnt out and unmotivated. Hiring people helps me with the progress and ability to obtain or reach those goals, which strangely helps me feel excited and not burnt out. It seems counter-intuitive to say working harder and DOING MORE can help you fight against burn out, but it's so true. I lost an editor and it really screwed me up big time as things slowed down tremendously and I couldn't get things done at the rate or velocity that I wanted...so I end up doing very little. Crazy.
that makes so much sense. I feel the same that I'm not quite hitting my goals, videos aren't turning out as good as I would like and I've also noticed less brand offers (it seems like for everyone!) hope you find another editor that you like!! I think we need to just give ourselves a little bit of a break with the travel because it's not the same as being productive at home!
Wow nice dress Shelby
Not sure what to say but at least here are some positive vibes your way...
Did the AC unit break? I missed that
There are no air conditioning in the house?
Orange County is so much nicer than many parts of LA and it's only 30-40 miles away from LA so you have the best of [both] worlds.
Won’t the shelties suffer in the heat of Palm Springs when Monica moves down there? I agree that Sam looks like a young Brad Pitt.
Doesn't the townhouse have AC? Why is it so hot
Hey Shelby ❤
Love that black dress
Every room comes with a Sam lol
Love your vids! Sam looks more like Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones 😮
I know you probably have more insight into this than an average subscriber, but would it benefit your channel to concentrate your videos on your main channel and make them more "lifestyle"? Meaning you can have vlog style videos but also a "feature" video here and there whenever you find a good topic.
I do agree that from the outside looking in, you seem to have been more productive in your own place with good lighting, and everything else you explained, etc. I'm sure the stress of not knowing where you want to put down some roots isn't helping either. Here's to success on your quest for finding the right place, cheers!
Does the mini-split AC not work?
Even the thought of moving is stressful!
It’s stressing me 😵💫
@@shelbychurchvlogs Sending hugs from NYC! I’ve moved from NYC to California (and back) twice. Also in NYC (where I am now) I moved from one high rise to another on the same street. All the moves were brutal! 🤣 And everything in all of my moves went well. You will find a place that is just right for you and get through it! 🌸 💖
