I used to watch a lot of the “big” family channels and have since stopped. I really enjoy your content and it feels very real and genuine. So many other channels feel so artificial and unhealthy. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🤍
In my early teens, my mother took me to our Doctor to discuss my constant fear that I couldn't breath properly. He spoke quietly to my mom, after speaking with me, and prescribed meds. I began to feel better after a few days. In my early twenties, I began having the same symptoms. My mother explained that our Doctor had diagnosed me with anxiety and depression at that earlier time. She and my father had just kept an eye on me. I've had bouts every so often and now have a greater understanding of my condition. I was interviewed by some great experts who told me my type A personality played it's part. I take a low dose antidepressant daily and seem to manage well. It's a condition which must be taken seriously. My daughter has it and always talks to me when she feels low. She also takes a daily dose of the same meds as me. We also discovered that it can pass through families. It's great that Justin understands and looks out for you. You are an amazing mom and your lovely children have benefited greatly from that.
So glad your anxiety is good at the moment,that’s great! Emma is such a joy.Her chattiing with you,singing and amazing laughs!! She’s beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕🐶🐈 ,
This is why this is my favorite channel, they’re literally authentic, they don’t take life for granted, if ever I had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom it’ll be a lot like Rachelle, easy going, loving and focused on family! ❤❤❤
I have been watching since Brynn, your family is hands down my favorite to watch. You guys are so real, I love the videos you make no matter what! Keep doing what you're doing :)
I've been here since your first ever post, I've loved watching you and your family grow. So glad your doing well xx ❤️ you guys are amazing! You & justin are the best parents to your babies 💝
So glad everyone is doing well😁. One of my favorite treats and memories from childhood is eating pomegranate seeds with vanilla ice cream 🍨. And I live in Utah and the only time we can get them is in the winter. I would love to be able to have a tree!
Glad to hear your mental state is well, I love hearing Emma’s cute little laugh when you guys were making fresh pomegranate juice, what a good helper, I like the skull cup too 💀 super cool! Yeah I am one of those people that like folding my kids clothes more than mine 😊
I hear you ❤it is very hard, not keeping up with the Joneses, but once you let go of that, you feel so much better! I grew up with fear and anxiety, my whole life, as my mother was very fearful and anxious. I became a self-medicating, alcoholic and drug addict at 14. I am now 72. I’ve been sober since 1988. You are doing the best job possible for you and your family. Praise God for you without God in my life without Jesus Christ as my savior, I don’t know where I would be.
It’s so good to see you content & happy. I watch you because you keep it real & don’t follow the trends of other. Thank you for sharing your family with us all ❤
I am about to share some of my life with you. When I was 16, my mom told me to get up from the Thanksgiving dinner and grab a change of clothes and get out. So I grab a grab change of clothes and I left the house and I started to walk. The next day which was on Friday in November she put me on a grey hound bus from Florida and sent me to Ohio. I was trying to talk to her and she was bad mouthing me. She was like I was going to quit school, get pregnant and turn out to be nothing. Well after dealing with the physical abuse I went thru as a child. My mom would drag me around the house by my hair and kick me in my back. I finally saw a therapist who said I was close to killing my self. SO I had to see a therapist on a monthly basis, I am in 5 different medicines for my anxiety. If my boyfriend YELLS at me for anything stupid I start to cry and I run and hide. I live a terrible life and NOONE seems to understand. MY GOD INEED HELP. Do you have any advice. Please help me. Please don't call anyone on me just talk to me
thanks so much for being so vulnerable and talking about this with us! The best social media content is always what feels organic and expressive for you the creator. So glad you are feeling better ❤
Mama you doing amazing! I mean do you even have time to be anxious these days 😆 I love how Emma went from not saying a word to chatting away! ( for the Karen’s I realise it’s nothing to joke about but keeping it light hearted!) ❤
Thank you, I’ve felt depressed this evening I know why and I know it’s silly but I know it’s okay to feel like it sometimes. You feeling not your best self has made me feel not so alone tonight and it’s calming me down in a odd way haha
I really enjoy watching your family grow. Your kids is so beautiful I love seeing the arts and crafts yall do it gives me ideas. The meal planning I'd like to see how you do it even though it's just me and my husband left at home it could help to learn how. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut when it comes to cooking.
Thank you for talking about this so openly I just got diagnosed with PPD a few weeks ago, my second Child is 3 months old now I've also struggled with anxiety most of my life, and medical related PTSD It makes life so much better when you get help
So glad to hear you are feeling well and healthy🥰 I can’t help but think that a mom with 4 young kiddos would scarcely have the extra time to dwell on negative thoughts, but that’s just me. You all look great and we continue to love whatever content you feel like putting out🥰❤️
Yeppers I am 66 and I believe that I was bi-polar as a child. I'm a sober alcoholic and what I now know I definitely was. I never knew about medicine so I "self medicated" myself. I have been watching since Emma was a baby. I went back to catch up. I love your family so much.
I love your videos I've been watching you for quite some time and I watched you through all your pregnancies and you have four beautiful children and I love that you take time to have individual time with each one of your children you and Justin are great young parents y'all are doing a fantastic job keep up the great work keep up the great videos God bless and have a wonderful Saturday.♥️🌻🌻😊
Mental health is so important to talk about! I was switched to the "safe" anxiety medication for pregnancy, and thank goodness for it. I wouldn't have made it through without it.
I feel like I can relate to you so much. I also am realizing now as an adult that I have struggled with anxiety since childhood as well, but like you said, it just wasn’t talked about or normalized and so I didn’t realize there could be help for it back then. And the aspects of it that society sees as good (very good student, people pleaser, etc) made me never stand out as being in any kind of trouble. Anyway, thanks for sharing and being so honest. I just love you and your family. Your videos always bring sunshine to my days. ☀️
Rachelle I think you're doing an awesome job juggling four ( count em! 1 2 3 4!) kids keeping up w each of em and having your TH-clips followers entertained s well as keeping Justin loved you're doing Amazing! I'm glad your mental health is in a comfortable place for you too Sharing w us just helps us love you more for being Real. God bless you Justin and your beautiful family.❤🙏🏻🤗🐾
You honestly look so chill after this delivery Rachelle & I think you & Justin both are coming to complete Peace & Happiness growing your Family & CONTENT reaching your decision on the amount of children you both wanted... I been enjoying your ride since just before the announcement of Emma on the way 👍😁 & 3 more since... I think after Miracle Baby Faye You both can lean back take a breath & enjoy watching their leaps & bounds & growing... Emma has such a Huge vocabulary & such a Well adjusted oldeset Child full of Compassion & Amazing personality..."Coming right up" & then breaks out into worship song👍😁✝️ Loved watching your Mommy/Daughter time... Hugs & Blessings Always... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙💙💖🧸🐕🤗✝️
I love your family and your content. I started watching cause Justin was in the Navy and I was in the Navy, both of us in SD. I was in Point Loma and of course Justin was 32nd street. I too suffered a miscarriage while in the Navy and your story of how the Navy got Justin home to be there for the birth of Brynn was amazing. I went through terrible depression and PTSD and the help I received was bare but I do like how you were supported as in comparison. I just love seeing your family bloom and grow. I wish I was your neighbor.
We watch you because we love you. We just want to see you happy so if that means posting what you want when you want then that's that. You literally posted your entire experience with getting Covid WHILE GOING THROUGH IT and how awful it was and the whole nine yards and we stayed.. and you were secretly pregnant to boot! You don't have to come up with all of these fun, crazy ideas for videos just because that's what you think we want to see. We watch you simply because we love your family. We'll watch whatever YOU want to post knowing that the content you're posting makes you happy and we love seeing you happy so we'll be happy.
You have grown in your channel yet you have seriously never changed!!! Enjoy that fresh pomegranate juice!!! Take care of your post Partum and your mental health which we all know you do!!! Keep up the great work I've never folded my sons clothes. I do like you and lay them neatly in his drawer . I have bigger fish to fry but I do iron his school uniform items and fold them
i raise my kids differently to others it's what works for you situation each kid is different i used to compare myself to others all the time and it caused a lot of anxiety until i spoke to my children's health visitor which is what worked for me. you are doing great your children are happy and healthy that's all we really want for our kids anyway.
Oh my goodness her personality is shining so bright and her encouraging you,my heart is so in aww♥️She is such a precious gift from God. Emma you are going,to impact so many peoples Ives,in such an amazing beautiful way♥️♥️
Im so glad you don’t attempt to play the algorithm. You are pretty much the only family I consistently watch, i feel like youre a grounded friend and its just a nice easy friendly watch, keep doing what youre doing 🥰🥰
How in the world do you sit like that.?! It looks so uncomfortable lol. Also I adore Emma and her mannerisms, oh your babies melt my heart. You're doing amazing, I know we only see bits and pieces of your lives, but you're killin' it. I am so proud of you. I know your kids and hubby are too.
You are Absolutely Amazing!!! I Luv your channel!!! You don't need to worry about keeping up with the Jones so to speak!!! Just continue being who you are!!! God Bless!!!
Really understand not wanting to take medication while pregnant! I was on a preventative migraine medication, and I had just done the monthly shot maybe a week before finding out. I was terrified that they were going to be crazy again. I haven’t been taking any medication to prevent them, and I had been having them 2-4 times a week. I have maybe had 3 since finding out about being pregnant (I’m guessing the hormones have been helping). We found out in March, and she’s due in a little over a month, so she could be coming in the next few weeks!
So glad your anxiety is doing better 😊 I have an 18 yo son who suffers with anxiety also and he has been on Lovan in the past but currently isn’t needing any meds but we are always open to the fact that he may need it in the future. I also love your content and am happy you are only posting what you want too. Love your beautiful family 🥰
I know how you feel quitting meds cold turkey. I had to quit mine cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant with my angel. I ended up staying off of them until after my rainbow Baby was born. I love your content because its not fake. It's real, everyday life 🥰
I am 57 yrs young and live in Australia and have always suffered with anxiety as well as my 28 yr old son who is still at home, I strongly feel that all we can ever do is our best and if that's not good enough for others, Im sorry that's just to bad and I feel with my son when he is really quiet that is when I worry, SHARING IS CARING, GOD BLESS ALL.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏿
I don’t fold my kids clothes either! I put them away the exact same as you! I do hang my youngest’s uniform shirts, shorts and pants but that’s more for ease and organizational reasons not wrinkle reasons. Hugs momma. You’re doing great!
I had Postpartum Depression (PD) with all 3 of my kids. Each time it got worse and worse. I have mental health issues to begin with. My 3rd PD was really, really bad. I ended up attempting suicide. Not good!! Luckily, I had a great support system and a wonderful doctor. I'm fine now, but I do take medications. As far as whether or not your depression comes back, just remember that the chemicals in our brain are changing all of the time. I go to the doctor for a "tune up" when I need to. Plus, I have a really good therapist. BTW - all of the kids are really great!! I'm looking forward to seeing them grow up. Y'all take care and be blessed. 1st 🙂
If you prefer a natural option 5-HTP can really help with mild anxiety. I use it for seasonal depression but it also helps my anxiety. Just an option 🙂
I went on depression meds after loosing my husband I'm glad I did I wasn't well and my special needs adult children needed me. he passed July 4th after a 25 month battle with cancer. I'm currently recovering from knee surgery after a freak accident in Feb.
Hey Rachelle just wanted to say that u and ur family are just too precious.. after a long and overwhelming day in life, it always brings a smile to my face watching ur videos. What we like it is exactly what u have described, you and Justin being a normal, loving family with ur children..normal...something that alot of us is missing from our own lives. So pls,keep up with the normal-ness, it gives the rest of us something to hope for our own future❤️
Hello Rachelle. I just reached out to you on Instagram about some help my family and close friends need who were just hit by hurricane Ian. If you could please check your DMs I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you so much.
Seasonal Affective Disorder, SAD, causes depression and anxiety based on the amount of light you get such as higher anxiety through the spring and summer while depression is more prevalent in fall/winter. Typically spring/summer runs from April to September and fall/winter is October to March. Everyone switches Seasonal s on their own time line.
When I got pregnant with My second Child I was on meds for bipolar disorder I stop them cold turkey then My 3rd Child was born at 25 weeks We lost Her 3 days later for My 4 Child I had to go on anxiety meds cause I have really bad anxiety I had to come off them 1 week later cause it effected My asthma I put all My faith in Jehovah God with the help of My Husband and the most amazing Doctor We got through it need less to say She was Our last Child I could not put My Family and Myself through that again I commend You and Justin for not given up and growing Your Family My Son is going on 31 My other Son is 15 and My Baby Girl is 13 We lost Our first Daughter She would have been 14 We also have 7 GrandBabies 9 to 10 month old You are an amazing Human and Mom
Maybe not taking all those hormones for IVF, followed by pregnancy hormones after IVF treatment had made your predisposition to anxiety worse. And getting pregnant naturally was not as stressful and didn't throw off your emotions. All the female hormones do a number on the brain, beginning with PMS, through menopause.
Walmart has Thanksgiving and Christmas ones we get every year and they have little games and spaces to play tic tac toe... perfect for keeping everyone busy at the holiday meals
I used to watch a lot of the “big” family channels and have since stopped. I really enjoy your content and it feels very real and genuine. So many other channels feel so artificial and unhealthy. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🤍
Your doing an amazing job and it’s a privilege to be able to watch you and your family. Your down to earth and are honest. Sending love ❤️
Emma and her “coming right up” so stinking cute!! I love her little personality!!
"O God how I need you" 🥺 Emma just melted my heart!
As someone who deals with anxiety I'm glad your doing well 🥰

This was one of the best videos ive watched from you in a while ❤❤

1st 🙂
hello Rachelle, it is absolutely ok to talk about postpartum mental health and please don't ever feel ashamed at talking about it
Hi I absolutely adore your family and absolutely LOVE your videos
I feel you on this. You are not alone.it gets better as you age. I have had it my whole life but I am now 47: it’s now getting better.
Emma singing melts my heart!!! We need more songs!
If you prefer a natural option 5-HTP can really help with mild anxiety. I use it for seasonal depression but it also helps my anxiety. Just an option 🙂
Glad your doing so well 😊
Hope, you are feeling better, you have to take care of yourself, love you and your family
Can we discuss how much Emma has grown. She is adorable 🥰
Emma is growing up so fast and so are your boys and they are so silly 😜
I’m so glad I’m not the only mom that puts the clothes in drawers as is, I have 2 boys and they rip all the clothes out whenever 😂

@Stephanie Barrett thank you time will heal. I was with Jon almost 24 years of marriage and being together. Loosing a spouse is hard

Hey Rachelle just wanted to say that u and ur family are just too precious.. after a long and overwhelming day in life, it always brings a smile to my face watching ur videos. What we like it is exactly what u have described, you and Justin being a normal, loving family with ur children..normal...something that alot of us is missing from our own lives. So pls,keep up with the normal-ness, it gives the rest of us something to hope for our own future❤️

Seasonal Affective Disorder, SAD, causes depression and anxiety based on the amount of light you get such as higher anxiety through the spring and summer while depression is more prevalent in fall/winter. Typically spring/summer runs from April to September and fall/winter is October to March. Everyone switches Seasonal s on their own time line.

Maybe not taking all those hormones for IVF, followed by pregnancy hormones after IVF treatment had made your predisposition to anxiety worse. And getting pregnant naturally was not as stressful and didn't throw off your emotions. All the female hormones do a number on the brain, beginning with PMS, through menopause.
