Welcome to my channel! It's a space where I dive into the beautiful chaos of mom life, entrepreneurship, and the journey of growth and healing in my 30s. Through real, unfiltered moments and honest reflections, I open up about the highs, the lows, and everything in between as I work toward finding balance and purpose. My hope is that by sharing these pieces of life, I can encourage others to find their own peace, resilience, and self-discovery, even in the midst of all the messiness. Join me for the ride-I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
the invisible load: mom, business owner, & everything in between | weekly vlog
Hey loves! This week’s vlog is the realest snapshot of what my life looks like most weeks-packed, messy, and nonstop.

Sydney saying her age made me smile. I love how committed she was to "14"! You officially have a threenager on your hands! Happy birthday, precious girl!
I love the excitement you had about your idea in the car. It looks like you’re reclaiming your spark and I love to see it! It’s inspiring, thanks for sharing.
Hilarious ending. At least the dinner got a high ranking.
Praying for you to hit 1K soon. Your content is amazing!!!
Noemie, I am a mother to a toddler who just turned 2 years old in December and a infant who is almost 3 months old. The load is heavy. I hear you and I feel you! You are helping me, I am excited for you and I’m rooting for you! I started a Substack because of you 😊
I'm a repeat offender... What does living harmoniously look like for Noemie?
Your car chats and you processing your thoughts have been so helpful to me. You’ve helped me put language to things in motherhood that I’ve felt but couldn’t figure out how to express. Cheers to getting our groove back! 🥂💕
The cauliflower changed her life 💀🤣🤣 too cute!
It’s Sunday, shall we be expecting a TikTok post today?👀 I am cracking upppp off the banana bread scene lol I had such high hopes. Very funny moment.
3:31 if theres no lane, create it!!! Rooting for you mama! 🎉
Always ❤❤❤
New Sub 🎉
I felt that getting in your own way comment to my core. That is the very reason I am seeking therapy now.....I'm tired of getting in my own way.
I agree!! Therapy has been one of the best investments I've ever made. It makes life less complicated and just doable when it feels impossible...Weight lifted! 😭🙌🏾 So happy you had a great session.
Happy 3rd Birthday Sydney!!! 🎉🥳👑💗
Happy birthday Sidney 🎉
You can tell Sydney enjoyed her birthday. That was thee sweetest 🥰 So you went back to therapy, got your hair done…how was your massage? I want the Commanders to shock the world! Great vlog ♥️
Sorry Kier but I’m an Eagles fan. May the best team win lol. 😂
*New Subscriber Alert* Just finished and had to drop in to say happy 3rd birthday, sisterversary, second birth anniversary, and girl gang dadversary!!!!!! Thanks so much for bringing us in to your world! You have such an amazing, raw, and beautiful spirit that’s needed in this TH-cam world. Cheers to more figuring this thang called life out together!
Your husbands face is so Yoruba looking, during his stressful explanation of watching football! lol reminds me of my dad when he's talking about something important! lol
Happy Birthday Sydney, Happy Sisterversary Emery, Happy Birthaversary Noemie! Post Edit: Happy Dadaversary Kier! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tender moments with us... and shoutout to Kier!🎉🎉🎉
Glad you decided to take some me time. I pray it helped. I don’t think you look bad on the vlogs. I enjoy that show real life. I can relate.
I still can’t believe Washington won. It was a crazy upset
Both of your braids look great
Love it. Happy birthday 🎂🎉 and sisterversary ❤
C'mon brand deal and partnership!!! Congratulations!! 🙌🏾🎉☺ So excited for you. It's going to be an amazing year!
Thank you so much! 💗🎉 I’m so excited for what’s ahead this year-it already feels like it’s off to an amazing start! Your support means everything. 🙌🏾 Let’s keep this energy going! 🥂💗
Congratulations Noémie, starting the year off right!!! Happy Birthday my fellow Capricorn!🎊🥳🎉 Did I hear you say that you are in school when you were talking about the county? Comparing is the thief of joy, you got this and you are in your own lane! You’ve come a long way from giving air hugs on the kier and Noémie channel lol to picking up the camera on your own and doing your thing!
Thank you so much! 💗🥹 Syd is the little Capricorn queen of the house, and she definitely keeps us on our toes! 😂 And yes, I’m just trying to stay in my lane and focus-thank you for that reminder. 🙌 Picking up the camera on my own has been a journey, but I’m loving it. Appreciate you rocking with me all this time! 💗🎊
Congrats on your brand deal and partnership! So dope! 🙌🏾 Also love love love little towns museum 🤩 the cutest place! Happy 3rd birthday to your baby girl 🥳
Thank you so much love! 🥹💗 I’m so excited about this partnership-it feels surreal. And yes, Little Town’s Museum is such a gem! The kids had the best time. 🥰 Syd had an amazing birthday-thank you for the sweet wishes! 🎉💗
That museum looks so fun!!!!
Right?! It’s called the Little Town’s Children’s Museum, and it’s such a fun spot for the kids. If you’re in the DMV, you should definitely check it out! 💗
@ I’m in CA so I’ll have to see if we have something similar
Congratulations on the brand deal and partnership 👏🏾👏🏾 So excited to see what it’s for!
Thank you so much! 💗 I’m so excited too-it’s such a big milestone for me. Can’t wait to share all the details with y’all soon! 🙌🏾✨
So glad you found your camera at the book store. Looking forward to the next vlog!
Brilliant video!! Really enjoyed everything about it :) If possible in the future, could you do a video revving up your car? So we can hear how it sounds!
Thank you so much! 💗 I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog. And revving the car? I never thought about that lol!
Just so you know, I never hear you talking about the differences of you and Kier's content journey as shade, I see it as acknowledgement... and that is ok.
Thank you for this! 💗 I’m so glad it comes across that way because that’s exactly how I mean it-just acknowledging our different paths and experiences. It’s all love and respect over here, always. 💗
Awwww that part about the million and Kier singing gratefulness has me tearing up. 🥺 So proud of y'all!
I'm sooooo rooting for you and the fam! You're doing an amazing job!
Happy New Year!!!🎉🎉🎉 Don't worry, I've definitely been going back and binge watching, so don't mind any of my comments on old videos. 🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I love that you’re going back and binging-it seriously makes my day to see your comments pop up, no matter what video they’re on. 🤣 Thank you for rocking with me and showing so much love! 💗
Hey 👋🏾 I think I got the answer to my pcos question from the other vlog. You said Metformin made you fertile? I’m gonna go look into that then lol
Hey 👋🏾 Yes, Metformin definitely played a big role in my fertility journey, but I have to warn you-the side effects are no joke! 😅 Definitely talk to your doctor about it and weigh all your options. Sending you love and good vibes on your journey! 💗
Loved your kitchen table self-talk. This is how my brain works when I’m trying to process my emotions. I ask myself questions, I panic for a min., then I answer myself, give grace and reassurance, get a game-plan, then put it to action. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
It’s so powerful to process our emotions through self-talk, right?! It’s amazing to see how much we can accomplish when we give ourselves grace and create a plan! So glad this resonated with you!
I didn’t realize I was watching your vlogs out of order. But I think there was a purpose in it unfolding this way. I needed this experience today. Thank you ❤
I appreciate you being vulnerable enough to share your pcos experience. I also live with pcos and the facial hair has increased tremendously over this past year. I was thinking it had to do with turning 30 in a few months because it wasn’t always like this 😩😞 I’d love to hear more about your journey with your fertility and just in general what it’s been like for you. Also, I’m really enjoying your vlogs. I feel like if I vlogged it would have a similar dynamic so I think I can relate lol. Anyways, I think you’re doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you so much for sharing that with me 💗 PCOS is such a tough journey, and I really feel you on the changes-I swear it hit different when I turned 30 too 😩. I’d love to share more about my experience with PCOS and fertility in a future vlog or sit-down talk, so thank you for the encouragement. And I love that you’re enjoying the vlogs! If you ever start vlogging, I’m tuning in because it sounds like we’d be on the same wavelength. Thank you for being here 🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing yourself with us 🥰
Thank you for being here! 💕
I was cheesing so hard while you were opening your new camera. 😂😍 So thoughtful! ❤
Right?! Kier really came through with that one 🥹💗 I was cheesing just as hard-such a thoughtful gift!
Love this VLOG!!! We getting a sit down?!!! Okkkk we starting 2025 off niceee!!!😂🫶🏾 I’m from JC, NJ! Every time I watch you and Kier I say to my fiancé let’s move to Maryland
Wait JC as in Jersey City?? I went to high school in Bayonne! I love a Jersey girl moment!! And thanks so much for the love. It really means so much to me 💗 Sit Down Talk is def coming soon! Stay tuned!!
@@noemiegaines Yes, Jersey City! 🥰
Every last vlog! Not skipping a single one 🥰
You’re the real MVP for that! 🥹 Thank you for rocking with me and watching every single vlog-it means the world to me 💗
16:38 was funny to me! After the week I’ve had here in LA, this definitely brought me joy 🥹 Excited to see what’s in store for 2025 ♥️
Also to Emery’s question re: favorite episode, I have 2. The very first one, that sit down talk spoke to me personally. Along with the episode where you laid the fish to rest, Sydney was hilarious.
I’m so glad it brought you some joy after such a heavy week. I’ve been keeping LA in my prayers-I can’t imagine how overwhelming it’s been. Hoping 2025 brings some peace and brighter days for you. Sending love your way 💗
Sydney had us all cracking up with her reactions 😂 I wish we could catch her personality more bc she's really a mess lol
You’re such a joy
Love your vlogs ❤❤
Thank you! 💗 And I see you too-your consistency has been so inspiring! Keep going, sis!
Love the vlogs ❤ keep going! ✨️
Thank you so much! You’re the best 💗 These vlogs are such a joy to make, and hearing this keeps me motivated. More on the way, I promise!
You can't make us choose a favorite episode! 😂😂😂
😂😂 That’s the best kind of problem! I love that you’re enjoying them all-means I’m doing something right! 💗 Thank you for being here and vibing with me each week!
Your skin is definitely skinning!!!!
