For me you're kind of my teacher. You're like almost the same age as me but I appreciate your level of consciousness really. Somewhere they said "if you want to really learn something you need to find a real master in this topic" for me you're this kind of master. I would love to be brave enough to travel the world like my soul really wants to. I want to know how you felt as you started your first journeys through different country's! I want to know how I can live the life I'm on this earth for. So I really want to know how you've done all that! I hope somehow I can find the answers here or in your YouTube channel, i really want to! I want to choose the ways of living like you did. So please tell me more about your journeys and how you managed to live your dream. Which books helped you? Which teacher taught you? Which sources you use for training your mind? Do you have a certain yoga book you absolutely recommend? A certain whisdom? Or is your mindset formed by yoga teacher training? I would be grateful to know. Thank you!

Isabel, Thank you for sharing a great insight, ‘we can treat ourselves and others well’. Hope you allow yourself one lazy day every week! Yes, on my death bed, I want to know I ‘ve treated myself and others well with understanding, love and compassion”.

I literally let ever commercial run on YT of course thinking you were benefiting until I got to the story (64?) that you 1st mentioned you weren't making YT money. The 1st thing I did was come here to help support you & wish I could do more but plan to upgrade soon. I wish I was 20 years younger & not 2000 miles away & could come sweep you off your feet. My dream is to find someone exactly like you. Please don't stress about pleasing other people & direct that energy to finding happiness for yourself, this is all that really matters. Your just like me & doing something or staying in the same place is great at the moment but always burns out with a craving to explore new things. If you stopped all of this it would break my heart & I'd miss you immensely but be grateful for the time you shared & 100% understand & in my heart would back you up 100% to know you were happy.

Look at all the responses and the followers on YT. You will never be alone, even if you think you are sometimes. Remember that you are also an inspiration for many, by sharing your life. It gives people strength knowing that they also are not alone in having bad days or sad moments.

Man, I assumed they were monotized based on the amount of work that goes into them! Yes, she needs to make money off them. They are a gift to my life every time I watch one.

Girl you need to monetize your videos. It would take so much stress off you and your videos are so good that your viewers would absolutely want you to monetize them

Hey Isabel, I'm not sure if you know but we get multiple adverts throughout your videos anyway due to the music you use, so if you were to use royalty free music for some videos you could monetise it and it would be of no difference to your viewers. You really deserve the money for your creations, you aren't just making some crappy videos and uploading them for the sake of it, you are talented and offering inspiration and beauty to people. You deserve to be paid for your time and there's nothing un-spiritual or wrong about that. I want to support you more but I can't afford it right now, but by watching monetised videos of yours I can do it for free. Something to think about :)

I am late to the party but am so glad I joined. I felt so wrong not contributing in some way and am so excited to see and hear more from you. Complete inspiration and really awesome that you are so open . You're gonna get through it and hope that you don't truly feel alone. So many of us vibe off the same energy and are going through similar things. Crazy how the universe brings this stuff to you through technology. I really hope you can make something cause you work so frikin hard and they're beautiful. Also the funky feeling is something I believe we all experience.. Cheers.

Hey, watched so many of your videos. They seem so well made. I've had smiles, tears and happiness. Are you not monetising YT on purpose? If you need any help technically monetising/selling/marketing let me know. I think the world needs more of your understanding :)

Just out of curiousity love: why don't you monetize your youtube videos? sorry if you've addressed this before and I have missed it

You are wonderful, please know that x

Agree-I definitely think an ad at the beginning would be worth the wait for the video and wouldn

Sorry you feel alone up there on your mountain. I hope you can, more and more, feel connected to the people who watch your videos and feel connected to you albeit remotely. I'm a songwriter so I appreciate the music you yourself bring to your videos. Beyond the warm visuals and light, the music adds a subtle undertone of beauty to each video. I'm from the PNW originally in Yakima and went to school in Ellensburg. I miss it very much thought living in CO has it's charms as well. Be careful with that axe, ok, and again, know that we think of you throughout each week.

Hi Isabel, why you don’t monetise your videos? It would likely provide a full time income for you with the flip of a switch on your videos which would reduce a lot of financial pressure for you. Me and my partner absolutely love your videos and send so much love to you across the ocean. Xxxx

I listened to your message. Is the tiny house an extension of your current home? Like a kind of 2nd building. It seems that the winter in the Netherlands and Pacific Northwest starts around the same time. In any case, you will be warm this winter. You do what you can.

Isabel you are an amazing person! You have inspired me in so many ways. You have so much courage and bravery to live your life the way you do. You don't realized how much joy and love you are giving others that watches your videos. I think many of your viewers are living the life that they dream of through you. We all want to help you through your struggles too. Everything happens for a good reason. Just like the time the little mouse chew up your wires in your car and you found out you needed to add oil to the engine. Your car breaking down now might be a sign that you need to have something more dependable to navigate up and down the mountains. Struggles make you stronger and appreciate things more. So embrace it and welcome it. All your successes comes from failure. Rejection is God's protection. It's important to lose. The more you lose the more you learn. Let it inspire you and pushes you. Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it. Don't chase people. Work hard and be yourself. Under these two principles, the right people will find their way into your life. Most people died at 25 and aren't buried until they are 75... What is your Paypal ID I want to contribute some funds to help you. Keep up the good work! God is Good!

Hi Isabel, I have just listened to your message and I am so happy that one day I had this strong impulse inside me to jump on the train with you and follow your life journey. We are all here to support you. I agree with Rik and I think we should do some fund rise towards your new car. (I wouldn't even bother to fix the old one, just get a new one)I would love to donate money towards it as I know you will make a good use of it:) The Universe is full of abundance so don't be shy to ask for money. You deserve it!Sending you much love!

I can't believe you get nothing back from the videos!! YouTube throw so many annoying adds at me when I am just trying to chill and get into your vibe and you get nothing for them! So now I can skip with impunity :-) Isabel, you come across as a really strong, yet feminine person - you are making things happen, you are pulling it off, winning the game, beating the man, where most of us are only dreaming of your world. But, believe me, it's slowly creeping across the globe - if only in a very small part, you are changing our lives, starting a revolution - no pressure hey! Hugs back at ya!

You are insanely raw and honest thank you thank you thank you

Isabel, I personally wanted to thank for all your words. You truly speak from the heart and this is what really matters nowadays. I live in Madrid, in Spain and we have a lot of travel restrictions right now like we can’t live the city. I realized that I missed nature so much. Your videos helped so much to realize the importance to live a simpler way of life, near nature. You are so courageous to be able to live your dream despite all the difficult moments. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you that everything will be ok. Anyway I am sending you tons of positive energy and please do get some rest. The Pd. Sorry for any English mistakes. I usually speak and think in Spanish ☺️.

You message is so beautiful. I also believe that evolution can only occur through challenges and suffering. Change is just so incredibly scary and so necessary at points of our life. I also struggle to cope. Rest is so difficult because when I rest, I find my mind wanders to what I "should" be doing. When I doing what I "should' be doing, all I think about is how much life I want to live and how I am wasting it all. I want to live in happiness and compassion, doing what I love every second with no regrets...Is this possible?? I have no idea. I just try and make good choices, but sometimes life is so exhausting. You are not alone in suffering or feeling tired and frustrated. But through your work even if it takes time you will achieve what you want and there are hundreds of thousands of people who are here to support you and help you create the life you want. People care about you, even if it's just over this little screen. Sending you hugs too!

Dearest Isabel I want you to know that you and your videos have value, great value and that you bring a great amount of joy into my life each time I watch. I am 75 years old and live a life similar to yours except I do not have the friends and family coming to visit me as you do, I live a solitary life with my two dogs (border collies) who fill me with love. I am 185 miles north west of you outside of Vancouver, BC. Now may I share some thoughts, everything and I mean absolutely everything is exactly the way it is meant to be right now, acceptance of what is. All we ever have is today, live one day at a time, tomorrow will take care of its self. You have chosen the road less travelled as I did many years ago and you are doing it, you continue to amaze me in what you accomplish be kind to yourself and honour yourself for what you do. You are a gift, you are the magician. I live in a world of abundance today, there was a time when I live in a world of scarcity, I changed my relationship to it. I live a simple life as you do and I have much to share. So let us talk about your abundance, first of all I am tripling what I give to you each month, secondly you are receiving well over 100 thousand views for each video, it is time to monetize them, you are worth it and those who follow you know that. I want to ask you to do something else and that is to start a GoFundMe for your car, ask for what you want, do it, if one in ten of your viewers were to give $1 each there would be more that enough to fix your care, and I plan to give way more the $1. You are a beautiful and amazing spiritual being having this unique human experience and you transmit you to all whom you contact through you videos, you are a gift. A world of abundance awaits you all you need do is ask. As for time, where are you rushing too? Stop trying to cram everything into one day, cherish the moments, everything will happen in due course, the house will be finished when it is finished and not a minute sooner. relax and enjoy the journey. And know that you are loved. Rik Negus (Simply Rik on Youtube) ps: come visit my channel Simply Rik

Hey.. you are definitely not alone in that feeling. Your video’s and all you share is beautiful, its real, its raw and full of grace.. it speaks to me deeply. . expressing what sits and stirs in my heart.I discovered your channel randomly.. Yet so many things are never by chance, they are by design?… You are a gentle yet solid light in this world.. Many years back I was made redundant from my job.. that was on a Friday by the Monday I had a backpack packed, and I was on a Long distance trail, across The Scottish Mountains.. I entered those mountains as one person and left as another... Stripped everything back to the bare bones.. less is always more. I often celebrate the full Moon with friends and family out in our Family's Woodland here in the UK.. the turning of the wheel.. The light here is changing, Autumn has arrived and she is showing herself a little each day.. . . Isabel thank you for reflecting what is good and great in this world. Your videos are of such great value .. Monetise them.. Let it nourish and give back to you also.. It will not devalue your message not one bit… be gentle with you.. Continue to Trust the Process.. You and the innate are working in deep partnership.. Your lovely little home will hold you and you will always remember its story.. . Keep Shining x The world is richer for you being in it.. Heartfelt Gratitude x

Thank you so much for sharing such a vulnerable side of yourself with us! Every week when I see you've uploaded a new video, it seriously makes my day. watching your videos has constantly reminded me how to be grateful and live in the present moment - now when I go on walks outside or do anything in my daily life, I try to experience them the way you do and stay grateful for every single moment - so thank you for giving that to me and so many others <3 I think we've all been there when it comes to feeling like you are now - feeling stuck and like nothing is going right, like it's impossible to keep going - but I know that all the hard work you've been putting into your house, your channel, and your life is paying off and will continue paying off. you've already made the hardest decision and that is to live a life you know fully aligns with you. That's something that many many people are way too afraid to do, so that alone makes you such a strong and unique person. It takes a lot to make a decision that we KNOW deep down is the best for ourselves and our mental health, but it can still be really hard and really uncertain (i'm there right now too). Just know you have so many people supporting you (in person and online) and that you have such a wonderful effect on so many of us! Also, I read that book a few months ago that you were describing and it made me cry too... she is an amazing author (you should also read The Nightingale by the same author, I liked it even more than the other book!). Thank you isabel for all the work you put in for us to enjoy your creativity and perspectives on this world! <3

why not monetize? all your hard work on youtube would pay off and you could earn enough just from yt to live well with no worries about $, and without seeking an outside J O B! everything always works out regardless, so dont be anxious, thats just life testing how committed you are to freedom.

I have so much love and compassion for you! I know you will get though this successfully because you have such optimistic love for life! I feel like I have been there before...feeling alone and struggling with money. It’s definitely a hard time! Keep doing what you’re doing! You deserve everything you ever imagined!

Nikki Weir

you are the brightest light, watching your videos has truly changed my life & i’m endlessly grateful for you

Everything you are experiencing is exactly where you need to be. I could relate to so much of what you were saying . When my mom passed away from cancer 5 years ago when I was 33, she had expressed certain regrets before she died. In that moment I woke up. After years of running, even away from her, I realized the shortness of life and not wanting to have the same regrets in my own life. I moved away from Orcas Island where I was living at the time, and eventually ended up where I am today. A place that may not be as beautiful as Orcas, but feels like my long lost home from a previous life. I struggle with being present as I feel out of place here on Earth, but the simple moments are the most precious and where we go from here is even more beautiful. Life is a struggle, but will always take you where you need to go even if doesn't feel like it at the time. Isabel, you are a light to so many people even if from afar. I feel your beautiful, authentic energy and I am grateful for you.

I enjoy listening to your heart felt messages, being able to hear your voice is real cool. You mentioned how you stayed in bed resting and writing, journaling, some of these things connect you with your spiritual side. This is good. Resting allows you to dream what could be, a way to find your path. When you are doing things, such as working on the house, is like a distraction and isn't creative. Creativity is tapping into your spirit side of yourself. Your car, did you blow the head gasket, it's like $3000 to fix. You may need a new car. This happens when you deal with old cars. I hope you will be able to get to work when you need to, maybe your sister can be a help. We are almost mid October, so you have to think about making plans for the winter, The house can wait till spring. I hope you can stay in the farmhouse or will you be moving to the city. If you will be in the city for the winter, be aware of what you need to do to protect yourself from the coronavirus. It can be very dangerous. I did a quick reading on you, I am not a good reader, but looks like change is coming or rather already upon you. I feel new opportunities will arise, maybe more till the spring. I keep you in my thoughts, so that you can overcome obstacles that are in front of you. By Spring most of the bad things with the government should be completed and new opportunities will be available. Think of this Winter as a rebirth of new energies and opportunities. 🧙‍♂️

Isabel, I wish I could reach through and give you a huge hug! Please hang in there and listen to your body. If it says rest, it's ok to rest - it knows what it needs, and sometimes staying in bed and watching movies with snacks is a nurturing thing we can do for ourselves. We are all contending with a crazy world right now, stay well. XX

I'm glad you're listening to your body and resting. This is a time to really tune in and hear what it's trying to say. Sounds like you're getting signals that something is out of balance. When this happens to me (and it does, regularly!) I have to "re-set" ...to remind myself of where I'm going, the "bigger picture" beyond today's fears. I'll remind myself I need to schedule reasonable work, reasonable rest, water, nutrition, movement, meditation, and connection with supportive others to stay in balance. That's what works for me... I know you'll find your path!

I feel you. Last year I had so many of those days, but it was well needed, finally really rest and have time to just think everything. Now I feel that I have more energy than before, but soon it will be darkest time of the year again. Hopefully you are feeling better soon and take rest days when it’s possible 😌
