I've been struggling... Channel Update & Upcoming Cruise Reveal

It's been almost 6 months since I quit my job to concentrate only on this YouTube channel full time. I think it's time for a personal & channel update. Being honest, with our YouTube channel growth, there has been both good & bad, as well as some things that I've been struggling with. In exciting news, I have an upcoming cruise with "new" cruise line for us. However, I've had moments when I've been freaking out inside... This is a very personal update for myself and the Life Well Cruised YouTube channel.
