Not saying you do or that you should show everything about yourself/private life online but I appreciate how real you are and not tryna pretend to be something you aren’t. Respect

I didn't know you were thirty, I always thought you were early 20s! But as great and amazing as having a family is , not everyone can build a business from the ground up. You've achieved so much more than most people your age are even capable of imagining. Don't ever let that pressure get to you. Love your content!

From 30-40, the pressure is real for the get married and have kids expectation…I say live YOUR dream and make your own way! You’re so successful already and you aren’t even close to being finished! I love to have my freedom for exercise, for travel, for time with my loved ones…don’t let the world push you into anything you don’t feel passionate about already is my advice! Not that you need it! You are slaying! Keep it up! ❤❤❤

“Don’t take advice from someone that isn’t living your dream life” I needed that! Thank you so much 🤍

omg this video is next level! it's really noticeable that you're putting even more effort into the quality and aesthetics and it is awesome

I was 30 when I got pregnant. At 32 I ve been a mum of 2, done & dusted! Was I ready or pressured? I think I was more pressured than ready! Do I regret it? I am grateful for the chance to experience motherhood,but I wish I had taken my time to be sure that I wanted it as badly as I was pressured to do so! So, please, stay true to yourself and do what you want when you are prepared for it!!! Seeing several mums, who screams the shop down because their kids are not listening, it isn't looking like a happy motherhood or a childhood! You are a role model for many! I'm grateful to be able to know through your Chanel!!!❤ Love to you

Also turned 30 last year and agree with the pressure you feel to do what everyone around you is doing. It's so hard not to make comparisons when all of your friends are getting married and having children, or buying houses! We lost two years of our 20's during covid so I'm trying to just enjoy being content doing the things we missed doing when we were stuck inside. Having the ability to sit and binge Netflix with no one distracting you is a plus too. ✌

By having the courage to share where you’re at, and that you’re happy with your life right now just as it is, you’re helping take some of that pressure off other women - because you’re showing that a fulfilled life can look different for different women, and it doesn’t necessarily have to involve motherhood. ❤ Thanks for being that voice

I also had a birthday two weeks ago, and now I am 30 years old as you are. I am living abroad doing what I love. I feel great when I look back and try to figure out every critical decision in my life, and I regret nothing. Everything has a time, and waiting for the right moment when you actually feel it is essential. Doing something just because other people do is not a guarantee of happiness. Because of you, I started taking care of what I was eating, which helped me get into my dream shape. Thank you! :)

I’m 28 and my goals are to be more like you physically. My physical best. You look like you’re in your early 20s not 30. Your career is important to you right now. There will always be opportunities to find love when you’re ready. I went to college and started my career and now I’m engaged getting ready to settle down. My next goal is taking care of my physical health. Unfortunately my career choice didn’t allow me time to stay fit lol. Way too much studying and 12 hour shifts. It’s still difficult with 12 hour shifts. I’m exhausted after and can’t drag myself to the gym. After my shifts for the week I need a two day recovery time. But I’m working on it. Your videos help me. Keep doing you lady! 😊

Don’t stress, 30 you are still a baby. I was career focused and convinced I would be the cool single auntie forever. Play with the kids then give them back 😅 well fast forward to 34 I met my now husband and now at 37 my daughter is 2 1/2 years old. Love my life now but also miss my single career days…just enjoy the chapter of life that you are in!

I am in my mid thirties, married and I have a child and guess what I am not always happy. Doing what everybody is apparently supposed to do is not a guarantee for endless happiness. Doing what you love, whatever that is, that's what will make you happy.

Hi Sophie, yes I'm a man and I totally do different workouts but I enjoy listening to your experience and attitude which gives me kind of support during my exercises. I like you always have a plan and focus, nobody should try to convince you to do it different, please not you are doing so well.

I turned 40 on the 30th of Jan. You inspire me to push and take everything I do to the next level. I will always be forever grateful for that for it has changed my life so thank you ❤

I am at this age where I don’t watch lifestyle blogs anymore (im 25😅) but you are the only one who I still watch, your videos are so calming and relaxing and your voice sounds like asmr so i like listening to your videos after workout or before bedtime🫶🏽

Funny enough, I’m 33 and a mom of four 😅 I love how my life has gone but (1) think pressuring anyone to live a certain way or at a certain pace is unhelpful and lame and (2) find your content SO helpful as I try to be the best and healthiest me for myself and my kiddos. So keep doing you! You inspire so many. 🩷

I was in my mid 30s when I had my first child. (My youngest came the year after 🤭. I wanted 2 before I turned 40). I turned 50 last year and my daughters are in their teens now and for the last couple of years I feel that I have more time taking care of myself. I've been working out on gyms since my early 20s. More family focus and less workout during the years when the kids were little. Nowadays my oldest daughter sometimes joins me at the gym. I want to point out that we waited to have kids until we felt ready for it. Other's opinions on the matter are not worth listening to. It's your business, not theirs. And some people choose not to have children. That's ok too!! If you feel happy with your life right now, that's exactly how it should be! ♥️

I didn’t have my first kid until I was 35. Don’t let others put pressure on you. When you start feeling like you need to “settle down” your life becomes work/mundane. Go with the flow and do what makes you happy firs for as long as you can. Kids/family take all of that freedom you have now. In a good way but with more stress.

One- I thought you were 23 so you’re killing it lol. Two- I’m 30 and I feel the pressure hard, but then I remember how far I’ve come. Life isn’t meant to be a check list so keep doing what you love ❤

I feel you completely about the pressure. I’m turning 26 in April. My little sister is pregnant with a surprise baby and her and her man whom have been dating for 6 months or so are planning to sign a marriage contract. Whereas my man and I have been together for 2.5 years and we live together. My dad has mentioned and ask multiple times why we won’t tie the knot or plan to have kids until our 30s. He keeps saying the older you get the higher the risk of the kids having problems. I told him I’ve wanted a solid financial foundation not just for myself but for my partner since I was very young. I would like to be in a good mindset to have a family and be as present with them as I can because I felt my parents were distant with us kids until they got in a better financial place. I’m currently back in school for nursing. I’ve seen my parents have kids and get married young and now my sister is going through it. My man’s parents and older brother went through the same thing. I am very happy for both of our families as long as they’re happy. Jacob and I just want to have some time to work on our career, focus on each other and our current family and friends and have fun together. My Aunt is in her early 40s, divorced her husband for cheating after being together for a decade and she doesn’t have a set career right now and she is having the time of her life while taking care of my grandmother. She’d complain to me when she was dating and having fun because my parents and her sisters were judging her. Anywho, I give you props lady. You do you as with everyone else reading these comments. Life doesn’t always go as planned so it’s good to live life the way YOUD love.

Love this! Just to give some advance when you use rice paper for spring rolls, you don’t need to soak it in the water . Just dip it in lukewarm water for a few seconds and make sure its fully covered and take it out and it will soften on its on. As you put your ingredients in it. I’m viet so we make spring rolls very often!! 🤍🤍

Wat je zegt is heel herkenbaar. Ik wordt dit jaar ook 30 en voel ook veel druk! Ik ben zo blij dat er iemand is die van dezelfde leeftijd is als mij en zo geniet van fitness als ik. Je video's zijn altijd geweldig en echt een inspiratie! ❤

I feel this

I’ve fallen in love with your videos. The aesthetic. The voice. The routines. The EVERYTHING.

I am turning 32 in a couple of weeks. And, the people pressure for me to start having kids and getting married is insane because im single lets start there 😂 but they don't know that. But, im a graceful person generally in life, so i don't get bothered by what people want or don't want for me. I just listen and keep focusing on my career also. Although i do want that life some day, but yoh, it is not here yet, so it is an opportunity to stay focused more on my IT career while keeping fit and staying mentally healthy ❤

I’m 30 too and I have an almost 3 month old daughter and I do all of her care myself, she’s ferocious! But I manage to get my hour a day work out in & plan my meals ahead. I was your shape prior to being pregnant, I’ve dropped almost all my pregnancy weight (I gained 30lbs!) and I’m feeling good.

Welcome Back Thanks Sophie For This Awesome Video!

I have never left a comment on any RU-vid video, but i just have to say your channel is literally the best thing ever. You have so much amazing knowledge which as a newly qualified PT i am so grateful to learn from. You have a lovely calming nature about you and there's a real authenticity about you too where i really feel i can trust what you say. I have followed your instagram for years but have never come across your channel... I am so glad i did, and am literally obsessed now haha! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, life and advice with us, such an inspiration :)

I wasn't ready for the 4 day pizza😂 you do you!!!! That pressure from whoever else doesn't mean shit. You're killing it, keep going for yourself !

I'm in my 30s. All my friends are married or have kids or are trying to have kids. All I care about is making money (I'm a lawyer) and going to the gym. I love your workouts. I'm so happy to have found you.

Don’t listen to people who make you feel pressured. Life unfolds at different times for everyone! You are crushing it and YOU know what YOU want out of your life. I am proud of you for pushing for your dreams

You’re leaving a great impact for a big part of society and many young girls, so basically you are already like a mom, some of us never had! 😅Don’t let yourself get stressed by anything or anyone, as we can tell you are thriving in what you do, why interrupt it to make anyone else happy (if even) ❤ greetings from Germany

I love your vids ❤ I’m turning 25 this year and my focus is on my physical and mental health, travel more and most importantly becoming financially stable. Having a husband or a partner is nice and I look forward to the day I find my person but for now I need to work on myself 💕

I relate to this so much. I’m turning 29 in a few months and it feels like even though friends and family are well-intentioned, they have very strong opinions on where I should be in my life.

Welcome back!! This series sounds like it’s going to be so fun and helpful, and your editing is constantly improving girl! Love your videos as always Sophie, missed seeing you and these longer videos and your vlogs. You are a big inspiration to me and many other women, so proud of you! Thank you and keep going💕🫶🏻

I love your vlogs, I am from Russia and I’ve just turned 36 😝 And I love doing my work, I’ve always under pressure about that stuff “ you have to find your husband and have a child”, but I do agree with your thoughts. Never listen people who don’t live your dream life

Missed you on here!! Great video! You’re right about feeling pressured in life, I’m 35 no kids and some people are like why don’t you have kids and etc and it’s like maybe we are happy without kids and enjoying our life lol…I’m also an Aunt🥰🥰🥰🫶

I so appreciate you sharing your entire warmup. I see now that I wasn't warming up entirely. I think society has basic expectations of members to follow a basic life path and although choosing another path could be welcomed, society has another expectation to not directly ask if someone is planning to follow the beaten path lol. I'm single and turned 30 in December and I'm moving closer to nieces and nephews this year so I can be a better aunt! Hahaha. I'm so thrilled and fullfilled with my role. Though in my circles, I've always been very vocal about not wanting kids so I don't notice any pressure personally

I am 31 and a mom since 29. I love it but i am really living another life now. Currently working on going to the gym for 1 hour a few days a week, when its possible. I completely now, that this is not for everyone. Maybe half of my girlfriends don't want to have children at all and that is completely ok and the right desicion for them because no one has to live your life but you ❤

So esthetically pleasing! Great job!

Your whole demeanor is so calming and videos are so real and helpful. Love your content!

Alfalfa sprouts!! Happy Belated ❤🎉

I literally audibly gasped when you said you were 30 because you look like you are 21-23 😭😭 I’m also happy to see you posting again!

She's one of the few that show you the real💯

So happy to see you again vloging! I was soooo waiting for this 🔥🙌🏽 I follow you since you begining and it was so weird cause i really miss you! Please don’t wait another 6months to post a real vlog again 🥰💋

I appreciate how raw and real you are!!!

As a fellow fitness and jiujitsu girlie I would absoluuuteely love it if you talked about how you mix the two in your workout split and how you manage your food intake when training jiujitsu!!

I love being an Aunt too. As I watch this I’m with my youngest nephew hanging out actually. You are an inspiration

Same here! 35 with no kids yet.. I hate it when people around me put that pressure on me. Feels like I am doing something wrong or I am an outcast never considering shit that you may have gone through. Pursuing things like financial independence, better life quality and job satisfaction should not be forgotten because they take time and occupy a significant part of the adult life. The challenge comes when the biological clock starts ticking 😂

I can completely relate to outside pressure. At 27, there seems to be a timer on my head of what I should be doing in my life by when but I have other goals and focuses as of right now✨

I feel this 100%. 29, passionate about my career, kids and marriage seems so far away (if ever) at this stage and I struggle with relating to all my friends having babies even though I do love babies, it’s just not my reality at this stage

Had the shittest day but seeing this video go up has genuinely made my day. Your videos are the best 🫶🏼

Beautiful Sophie 💕I’ve been watching you for a long while and appreciate your honesty. I’m mid 30’s and attempted to do career at the same time as building a family - worked for a bit, but bandwidth is finite and priorities shift with life experiences! I’m now on baby #4 and mostly at home with them. I’m watching all my career-focused friends begin to dip their toes in settling down & building a family. Some have a really easy time with it (specifically referring to making babies later in life) but MANY are struggling with infertility and it’s heartbreaking. I wish there was a way to share with younger women in a way that comes across loving that…. Our reproductive system has an end time. What do you think? You’re a smart gal!

Positive energy and comfort + the importance of maintaining a wonderful body. Very good luck ❤.+Thank you for the Arabic translation. You have Arab followers ✨.

i dont know why, but u feel like a big sister

I love that you explain the workouts and give useful tips!

The quality of this video is seriously impressive 😍

Can totally relate, thanks for sharing. ❤ Turning 30 soon. Love your videos and workout channel! I do your workouts every day! And lol about plateau-ing-same. 😂

Congrats on 30 and becoming an ambassador! Didn’t realize we were the same age 🙌 Something I’d love to see from Women’s Best is a seamless maternity legging (not to feed into the topic you were mentioning at the beginning 😅), or a legging that’s squat-proof but had good stretch on the waist. Thanks, girl!

A silly trainer told me to put my elbows at the same level of my ears. Now I know why I never felt ok in that position when doing the shoulders press. Sophia, thanks, that wasuseful.

I missed your videos! I always learning something with them♥️

Don't worry my dear, I'm 31 and we're on the same page, living my dreams (not others') ❤ thank you for your amazing content.

turning 30 in a few months and yes, have the same friends around which I love as well as their little families but the outside pressure is there, even more from family 😅 one can’t escape this

OMG i love your voice and the way you talk. I just found your Account and love it so much - Thank you ! :-)

Welcome Welcome Back Sophie!! and I really really missed your vlogs so so much you are my truly truly inspiration🥹🩷🥹🩷

Love watching your videos. It’s so calming ❤

Love all of your helpful tips while training!

This was well worth the wait! We missed your long videos, welcome back!

I’ve missed your vlogs so much 🥹

I hope to see more of these videos! 🥰💖💖💖 I started to workout recently and you're so inspiring. Also been following you on instagram. By the way, marriage and children are choices you make when you feel ready and when you feel like it's time to do it; I think that the most important thing in the world is staying faithful to ourselves and feeling good with ourselves, and when you meet someone whom you start a relationship with and who is aligned with your idea of future, these two things come spontaneously. Be happy with yourself, focus on your job and on whatever makes you feel alive. ❤

Love love love your vlogs, just watching your wonderful personality and grate advice. And your editing is astounding, and your sound effects and moody lighting in the kitchen gives me ASMR

I love what you said! "Follow the advice of someone who's living your dream life" that says it all! Really! Why would we do what someone with different goals from us is pressing us to do?!?!?! Why? Why? Why? 😆

I just found you last week and started the day before yesterday. I was just eating when you went live. I hurried with the food and then got in at about 12 minutes 💪

Missed you on RU-vid!! Loved this and can't wait to see your next ❤

As I didn’t see it on here, maybe it is lower, the green stuff with your egg, avocado, and chicken patty is “sprouts” here in the states. They are usually packaged with the plant type-bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, etc.

Don’t believe others trying to pressure you into things, they don’t live your life - you do. We live for ourselves and not others. Everyone’s dreams and desires are different and there’s no such thing as yours not being acceptable because they don’t fit into the expectations other generations or peers have of you. The people we lose during this process are the ones that are probably not meant to be with us anyway. Trust yourself ❤

I also turned 30 this year and my perspective has also been to focus on my health and finish my studies to apply for my masters. i don't see myself having kids and really prefer to focus on myself and my goals. you're so inspiring, i didn't know we had the same age, i feel like a lot of the fitness people i follow are all in their early 20's and it just doesn't resonate with me as much. thank you for this new series i love it

I normally never comment but that editing! Wow 😍

You are an inspiration! Best of luck to you. Have been missing your lifestyle vlogs.

love this! thanks for posting..its super inspirational

Also what brand of sweatpants do you wear? They look sooo comfy! ❤

What you said in the first 44 seconds of this video is so relatable for me right now 😂

Your back is total goals!! Love these vlogs

I love every single video

I lóve your English!! As a fellow Dutchie I am happy to hear that you can barely hear a Dutch undertone whilst you speak. Heeeerlie meid!

I’m obsessed with your burgundy beauty blender and I cannot find it for the life of me, all of your makeup is so pretty and aesthetic please tell us where everything is from

Your video style is so enjoyable 😊

I turn 30 in a month, and my friends are nowhere close to getmarried or have kids, youre not alone!❤

glowing and thriving at 30 YOU GO GAL

Ik vond deze video echt heel fijn, puur, en gevarieerd om naar te kijken. Ik vind de kleine tips die je geeft echt heel fijn in de gym en leuk dat je je recepten deelt. Keep on going 🫶🏻💕

love love love looove this video so much

Thanks for this amazing gym guide. Do have any suggestions for a free gym workout app?

I just turned 25 but this feeling is so real

I think is normal to be asked about getting children and marrying. And I think that's healthy too. Pressure not. The good is to set a time goal for yourself if you would like that to happen. Thanks for the video

Hey Sophie ❤ Do you still drop the free weekly guides, or did that end? 👀🙊

My mom is from the Netherlands and I am trying to learn Dutch Right Now!

yayyy I missed you!!! love these movie aesthetics

I would love to have lady nails like yours! What type do you like? I worry about the toxicity getting into my bloodstream from regular salon glues and nail paints. 💅

What's the point in having kids anyway? If it's about conrinuing our respective bloodlines, those are gonna come to an end eventually anyway. If it's about taking care of someone, there's plenty of people already alive who could use some help. Homeless shelters to volunteer at, orphans to adopt, etc. Kids are an interesting experience I bet, but so is staying alone. Living the rest of my life in service of someone else seems really pointless to me. We're in for a climate catastrophy that no human should be born into, so it wouldn't be good for the kids either. Maybe you're not meant to have kids, you've left your mark without having any, as evidenced by all the people you've been giving inspiration and valuable knowledge to with this channel. In short: Fuck the haters, seeing kids as life's purpose is basic shit anyway.
