Omg when Taylor asked what her mom thought about her moving to LA and her response “hit the road and never come back” CHILLS my heart hurts for Laura what an inspiration ✨🩷
I have watched Laura for a DECADE. She has been a safe space for so many of us for so long now. I loved hearing her share her story and admire her strength, grace, and perseverance SO much. Thanks for having such an incredible guest!! 🩷🩷
I’ve been a follower of Laura’s for 10+ years. I was watching a makeup video of hers years ago where she was preaching “do it yourself bc no one’s gonna do it for you” and I signed up for the LSAT that night. Went to law school, passed the bar, and am now an attorney. You’ve changed many many lives for the better Laura bc of what you went through in your childhood. A sad but such a beautiful story. Your mom is looking down so proud of you 🫶🏼
When I tell you I SOBBED when Laura said her mom told her to “hit the fucking road and never come back here again” that hit me right in the heart yall.
And the fact she took Eryn (her sisters daughter) in as her own shows what kind of person she is! I respect Laura so much, thank you for sharing the traumas of your childhood with us❤
I’m from alabama and grew up so similarly… I bawled this whole video. I have never felt so understood. I remember your dad passed away so soon after my father did and I’ll always remember feeling like I wasn’t alone. We love you laura.
I did not think it was possible for me to like/respect Laura more than I already do, but wow her story is so inspiring. Thank you for opening up Laura! It is helpful to have a real life example of someone who grew up in a chaotic environment and make something beautiful out of it. I can't wait for part 2!
you can just tell how hard it is for laura to speak about all of this, but thank you laura for sharing! i’ve been watching laura for YEARS, this was an amazing episode
This is a perfect example that you don’t know the things someone has been through and how long they come to be where they are. We love Laura Lee and always love watching her vlogs. This was a great glimpse of the life you had and how far you’ve come.
As a woman who was raised in the south by a single, alcoholic father that I love dearly- I love hearing her story. I’ve been watching her for years and had no idea about her life. Props to her for being the woman she is today❤
Laura. There has now been two moments in my life that you have profoundly changed. You once posted a quote “take that job, take that flight, etc and it was a moment I needed to be pushed into a dream. Then this podcast, to hear you say your mom said get in the car and don’t ever look back. That is my dream for my kids. I’m stuck in a small town and living heartbroken each day. I don’t get to have those dreams❤ love you
Man I cried the whole episode with her because I resonate so much. We really made the right person famous, & I will say it because I know how much it means to hear but I am so proud of you Laura!!
ouch my heart! reading the comments, reflecting on this episode and thinking about laura’s life since moving to LA. how there was also chaos in eryn’s life, laura said no ma’am not her too and brought her to live with her and ty and seemingly gave her the structure and guard rails she so would have needed as a kid really hits different. thank you taylors for having laura on and laura thank you for being so open about your childhood. very eye opening to your online presence! we love you online bestie ❤️
Cried a lot during this podcast. There is a difficult part of becoming an adult when you start to realize that your childhood was not considered normal. And at some point there is resentment toward our parents and then eventually forgiveness and acceptance. These are uncomfortable vulnerable conversations but will shed light on real problems that a lot of people deal with behind closed doors alone and it helps to know there are others that have some similar struggles. It helps to know it won’t always be that way. We need to talk about them so we can learn to change it some how and prevent generational curses from reoccurring. Really grateful to Laura for opening up about this.
you can truly hear the hurt in her voice majority of the episode and it breaks my heart. When she said her mom said to hit the road and never come back here I lost it 😭 laura you are truly an inspiration and deserve all the good and happiness ❤ loved this episode.
The way I cried through this whole thing! So proud! Such a fan! As a fellow Bama girl, Laura is doing the damn thing! Her upbringing reminds me a lot of my husband’s and the drive he has to make it is unimaginable so seeing Laura make it out is so inspirational! We love you dearly!
Crying with you Laura. I’ve blocked out a lot of my childhood and am now having to process it bc unhealed trauma has been rearing its head left and right in my life recently. The only way through it is THROUGH IT. You sharing your story this in depth awakens a lot in me. Thank you for sharing, your bravery is helping me realize I need to open up to my friends about my experience. I read recently that joy shared is double joy, and sorrow shared is half sorrow. We’re not burdens to others, we need to share so we don’t carry it by ourselves and let the healing process continue
I’ve watched Laura for 10 years and I love that woman to death. This is BY far my favourite guest you’ve interviewed, thank you for creating a safe space for her to be vulnerable and share her story!
I have such MAD respect for Laura… have been watching her channel for so many years and seeing this!! The hustle in this woman to break the cycle and adopt her niece.. this hit me in the feels. I knew she went through a lot in her younger life, but had no idea of the extent. Thank you Laura for being so vulnerable and an inspiration to so many people who struggle ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve had a knot in my throat watching this the entire time, you can hear the pain in her voice the whole episode. I KNOW her mom and her dad too are SO proud of her. 😭 This is truly the most touching upbringing I have EVER heard. 😭
I’m only 20 min in and I didn’t realize how much Laura and I had in common when it comes to our past and THAT equally breaks my heart and inspires me. I’m so proud of you, Laura! I’m also the youngest and I’m glad for that. I got to see my mom divorce my dad(what a relief!) and marry my stepdad who was a healthy, normal guy and still is. He gave me what the other two never got. 💔
I’m only 8 mins in and I’m already in tears. I didn’t grow up with my dad due to his addiction and he was an alcoholic, so my mom had cancer growing up and my grandpa stepped in as my father figure. We grew up very low income and this hits home so hard. I love you Laura so much. ❤ thank you for being such an inspiration
Laura has been my safe space since I was a teenager and I’m almost 30. I remember meeting her randomly a few years ago and she was so lovely. She has brought herself up so well. Pressure definitely made a diamond in her case 🩵
Wish I could like this 1 million times - I have been a huge Laura fan since 2018 so to see her grow & finally hear her story moves me to tears. So grateful this podcast exists & gets to create these conversations😭♥️
I love you LAURA LEE!!!! THANK YOU so much for telling us your story!!! I really relate to mostly everything you talked about!!!! You are such a BEAUTIFUL SOUL and I've loved watching you get better and better and you've been such an INSPIRATION!!!!
Dang this podcast had me crying. I am so beyond grateful to have watched Laura for YEARS probably a decade. I’m so happy she opened up and shared this. WOW tears streaming down my face, love you Laura!❤❤❤
As someone who lived in a household with an addicted parent, and a supporter of Laura I’m so proud that she shared her story. It makes me feel less alone and also like I can look to her for strength. it’ll always live with us but we’ll always make it through ❤️
I've always admired Laura's hustle. She chose to do better and be better than the environment she grew up with. Her mom was such a gem, and I adored seeing every video of them together. Their bond was truly special. So proud of you, Laura! We love you!!
I've watched Laura for 10 years and feel like I grew up with her. Seeing this version of Laura is my favorite yet. I love her vulnerability and strength. The way she persevered through all of that trauma is unheard of. Forever fan here! Can't wait to watch part 2.
I can’t stop crying I’ve always loved Laura Lee and after this I love her even more here about her life growing up I can completely understand now and relate
Laura fan since like 2017 & I love this interview. The vulnerability & seeing the growth Laura has made in the last eight years is so incredible. Continue to be you, Laura!! I can’t wait for part two!!
I love Laura’s honesty. I know this interview was tough for her. I’m from a small town in Georgia and her story is very relatable to lots of people. I have a whole new perspective of her.
Laura Lee you have hands down been one of my favorite creators for years. It’s like a breath of fresh air hearing you be so raw and real. ❤ I hope to see more of this. This is not talked about enough.
Here i am, crying mine eyes out. And that part about your mom "she is not here anymore" Today is 7 years since mine dad is gone - oh how i feel your pain Laura.
Being an OG follower of both Jaclyn and Laura, it’s absolutely incredible you guys have these sit downs with them. I loved them before but after watching them in your podcast, I have so much more of an appreciation of their hustle and their ability to persevere through adversity. Thank you for doing these!
Laura Lee is one of my absolute all time favorite beauty influencers. And I can proudly say, it’s been almost a full 10 years loving her. And to have such a special, deep, emotional episode is truly so special to watch. I love you Laura. You are such an inspiration. 😌 ❤
I’ve been a supporter of Laura since 2015/2016 and seeing her be so open and vulnerable truly touches my heart. Anyone that watches her 100% understands how hard this must’ve been. Laura, we’re crying with you, we love you, we appreciate you, we support you, and we’re here for you! ❤️
Discovered you thanks to Laura who talked about the upcoming podcast. Can’t wait for next week. Dayyyyymn Laura, you had it hard. But never gave up 😍 I truly hope you’re proud of what you have accomplished. You are truly loved
Laura! I’ve been following her since 2015 and she’s not only who taught me to do my make up, but she’s gotten me through a divorce, religious trauma, and so much more, I’m so grateful and honored to get to listen to her open up. Thank y’all for creating a safe space for people, y’all are amazing ❤
Laura Lee always gives more than one family Christmas gifts every year. I will never not cry watching those videos now. She is being the blessing and spark of hope she didn’t have for someone else and that takes a special heart ❤️❤️
Laura, you are such an inspiration for anyone who had a chaotic childhood. You literally built yourself up from the ground. Ive been watching you for a decade. I feel like we all grew up together lol
I’ve been watching Laura’s videos since I was in high school (mind you I’m 32 now lol) I always knew in due time she would open up & am so happy she did. Her doing this is going to reach so many people & fans. You can hear the pain in her voice, but she went through all this with such grace. She’s incredibly strong & a true pure beaming positive light 🥰 WE LOVE YOU LAURA ❤️
Man this hurt my heart for Laura.. she’s truly so inspiring and I admire how she was able to make it despite everything she went through ❤️ her mom is proud!
This episode was SO good! Laura’s a great story teller, she made me smile and tear up all in one episode. It’s always nice to see a hard worker from humble beginnings do big things. Can’t wait to watch next week’s pod!!!
I loved Laura before this episode but after hearing her life I love her in a way of kinship. I had almost the exact same childhood. The struggle my mother was a pill addict. My dad had left. I lived the same traumas. Wow. Lot of self reflection today
Wow this is so refreshing to see. I started watching Laura because she was a little unconventional and applied her makeup a little less precise than the other creators I was watching (desi, katy, karen) and now she’s my favorite creator. I love hearing her story and seeing the grit and determination it took having a different upbringing than everyone else in the space. Going to the private school and being around her more traditional friend’s family’s probably prepared her for that. I had such a similar experience to her, I can only hope for as much success that she’s received.
This is why I will always support Laura Lee idgad what anyone says growing up the way she did makes your eyes really open and be grateful for everything good that happens in your life I lived a very similar life It's hard to have parents and not have parents You grow differently from the average She helped raise her neice Being the backbone in the family as the years past takes a really strong person I, too, am that girl Laura.. mad love for you, baby doll MAD LOVE ❤️
Watching from RIVERSIDE!!! 🤪 I’ve been aware of Laura for years… I had NO IDEA she came from a childhood very similar to mine… BOTH of my parents were alcoholics… but I’m breaking the cycle for my kids just like she is ❤
I've been follower of Laura's since 2015, and hearing about her childhood and her trauma resonated so strongly with me. Now I am a mother of 2 kids and my husband was an alcoholic (just recently sober for 3 months now) but I know the pain and responsibility you feel in seeing it affect your kids and I get how Laura's mom said "hit the road and never come back". Was not planning on bawling this morning but DAMN. Thank you for sharing this so openly and not making any edits and not leaving anything out. I love you Laura! ❤
So proud to have given this girl my support for a decade. You’ve always been a star Laura & you’ve given so many a safe space. Proud of the journey you’ve lived, and to many more years of us watching you fulfill those dreams girl. 💗💗
If anyone knows me they know I’m a Laura STAN. She’s always always been so genuine and so herself, honest about her mistakes and doesn’t hide her real life. I’m only a few minutes in and I’m already crying. What a life this sweet woman had. No wonder she took Eryn in and works so hard and is still to this day so appreciative of her life. Coming from a really untraditional and hard childhood myself, this hits me hard in the chest. I just wanna give her a hug. If only little Laura Lee could see how beautiful her life turned out to be. Mama Lee is looking down and beaming with pride. I know that for sure. Thank you Laura for opening your heart to us. We love you so much ❤
I had to redo my makeup bc I was listening as I was getting ready and I could not stop crying. I have a baby and I know the desperation I feel when I can’t meet the tiniest need of his- I can’t imagine how you guys felt with Eryn. We are so proud of you Laura, you saved yourself and Eryn too.
This episode is so hard to watch but also so inspiring. Laura is the epitome of strength, perseverance and beauty (inside and out). I recognize all too well that lump in the throat one gets when looking back at the past and remembering that pain. I’m so happy Laura is in the best place for herself, Ty and Eryn
Laura, I cried the entire episode. I thought that being a viewer for so long I was already close to you but I found a new love and admiration for you that I didn’t even know was possible. This was so beautiful to watch. Thank you for continuing to be so raw and open with your audience, THIS IS WHY WE LOVE YOU. I can’t wait for part 2❤️
I have been a follower of Ms Laura Lee for about 10 years. I usually don’t comment, but your story is such an inspiration that I just had to. You are an amazing human. Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable with us. We love you!
Hearing the crack in her voice. I can tell how painful this is to talk about. Laura, you are so strong and one hell of a strong woman. You don’t realize how much this podcast is going to help others. It made me realize I’m not the only one with an unstable father. I’m so glad you opened up and talked about this painful experience…
Netflix needs to make a documentary about all the OG TH-camrs- y'all have such inspiring stories and have been through so much that people don't know about. love you Laura!
Laura, the real one stayed. I just want it hug you. You’ve taught me so much. I can’t wait for your best of self help books series!! (You haven’t announced it, I’m just manifesting it 🥰)
You can hear the pain in her voice the entire podcast 💔 we love you Laura
You can hear the lump in her throat throughout the entire episode. Wish I could hug her. Been here since 2014 Queen, you’re amazing.
I was just thinking the same thing!!!!! I cried for her before she cried!!! She’s so bold for sharing all of this!
@@isabellarodriguez1279 Yes, I felt like I never really heard her open up like this. Proud of her, I can understand why it took so long.✨🙏
Same
Seriously!!!!
I sure hope this is genuine, she is a good liar
I'm so glad she had Tyler, whose been her solid foundation since 16
Omg when Taylor asked what her mom thought about her moving to LA and her response “hit the road and never come back” CHILLS my heart hurts for Laura what an inspiration ✨🩷
Tears❤
Sobbed 😢
I lost it 😭😭😭😭🥺
I lost it! Every time she talks about her Mama she cries and it makes me cry too 😭
I was holding back tear on my way home on Bart. Chills🫶🏼🤍🥹⭐️

I was watching a makeup video of hers years ago where she was preaching “do it yourself bc no one’s gonna do it for you” and I signed up for the LSAT that night.

Your mom is looking down so proud of you 🫶🏼
Oh this made me CRY so proud of you wow ! 😭♥️

And the fact she took Eryn (her sisters daughter) in as her own shows what kind of person she is! I respect Laura so much, thank you for sharing the traumas of your childhood with us❤
This makes me just love her relationship with Tyler more. They both take care of each other and provides that consistency that little Laura craved. 😭
This literally goes to show you that you NEVER know what someone has been through. Crazy to see how some people prevail from what they experience.
Laura never gets emotional in her videos, she always puts a strong face. So I already know I’m going to cry seeing her cry. I love Laura 🫶🏼
I love that you give your guests space to speak without constantly interrupting 😅I see that a lot in podcasts
Truly sobbing. Ty and Laura really turned her whole life and Eryn’s life around for the better. Thank you for sharing Laura ❤️
I’m from alabama and grew up so similarly… I bawled this whole video. I have never felt so understood. I remember your dad passed away so soon after my father did and I’ll always remember feeling like I wasn’t alone. We love you laura.
I’ve followed Laura forever now and am from Mississippi. I was crying right along with her! I relate so much to her 🩷
Laura’s life needs to be a movie. Someone write the script asap! ❤️
100%
AGREED OMG.
Yes!!! 💯
The constant voice cracking. 🥺 Laura, you are such a powerhouse and strong queen, showing this extremely raw, vulnerable side. We love you so much. ❤
Fool coverage listener here! Super excited for this interview 😁😁😁😁

This is an award winning episode. WOW

Laura’s voice cracking every time she mentions/talks about her mom. 😭
I just wanna hug herrrrrrrr😢
Laura talking about her mom backing her 100% made me so emotional!!!! My mom is that way too and it makes me so sad that her mom passed😭
you can just tell how hard it is for laura to speak about all of this, but thank you laura for sharing! i’ve been watching laura for YEARS, this was an amazing episode
I literally started bawling when Laura said her mother said, “hit the road and never come back.” I LOST it!! 😩😩🩷
growing up with a parent who is an alcoholic is such a traumatizing thing to deal with. thank you for sharing your story Laura.
Regardless of how she was raised her mom was one hell of woman, now I understand why she speaks so highly of her. Both so inspirational ❤️❤️
This is a perfect example that you don’t know the things someone has been through and how long they come to be where they are. We love Laura Lee and always love watching her vlogs. This was a great glimpse of the life you had and how far you’ve come.
As a woman who was raised in the south by a single, alcoholic father that I love dearly- I love hearing her story. I’ve been watching her for years and had no idea about her life. Props to her for being the woman she is today❤
How laura said she needed certainty and craved it in her childhood and now she has the biggest certainty ever, tyler ❤

My heart is here in this episode.

Never seen this podcast but here for my girl Laura lee ♥️
Laura Lee always gives more than one family Christmas gifts every year. I will never not cry watching those videos now. She is being the blessing and spark of hope she didn’t have for someone else and that takes a special heart ❤️❤️
Laura, you are such an inspiration for anyone who had a chaotic childhood. You literally built yourself up from the ground. Ive been watching you for a decade. I feel like we all grew up together lol
I’ve been watching Laura’s videos since I was in high school (mind you I’m 32 now lol) I always knew in due time she would open up & am so happy she did. Her doing this is going to reach so many people & fans. You can hear the pain in her voice, but she went through all this with such grace. She’s incredibly strong & a true pure beaming positive light 🥰 WE LOVE YOU LAURA ❤️
I literally can’t wait to finish this episode! Laura Lee we love you and appreciate you telling us about your life ❤️❤️
Man this hurt my heart for Laura.. she’s truly so inspiring and I admire how she was able to make it despite everything she went through ❤️ her mom is proud!
idk how many parts there are of this but I want them all 🙋🏽♀️ crying and cheering right along with you Laura 💗
This episode was SO good! Laura’s a great story teller, she made me smile and tear up all in one episode. It’s always nice to see a hard worker from humble beginnings do big things. Can’t wait to watch next week’s pod!!!
I think I had teary eyes the entire episode, it broke my heart to know she went through all this pain 😢 I’m glad she opened up
The way her mom believed in her! Chills ❤ So proud of you for telling your story!
I loved Laura before this episode but after hearing her life I love her in a way of kinship. I had almost the exact same childhood. The struggle my mother was a pill addict. My dad had left. I lived the same traumas. Wow. Lot of self reflection today
Same, really self reflecting today.
I teared up listening how much it hurt her to even speak about some terrible moments and happy moments❤
Oh Laura ☹️ I admire everything you’ve done, especially now that I know what that took. Sending you a big hug from Kentucky.
I made the mistake of watching this a while doing my makeup and I’ve had to pause every 5 minutes to fight back tears ❤ we love you miss lee
I LOVED Laura Lee’s dollar tree hauls..now THAT was iconic!!
Wow what a journey laura has been on. So much respect for her and to see how far she's come 😍
Wow this is so refreshing to see. I started watching Laura because she was a little unconventional and applied her makeup a little less precise than the other creators I was watching (desi, katy, karen) and now she’s my favorite creator. I love hearing her story and seeing the grit and determination it took having a different upbringing than everyone else in the space. Going to the private school and being around her more traditional friend’s family’s probably prepared her for that. I had such a similar experience to her, I can only hope for as much success that she’s received.
This is why I will always support Laura Lee
idgad what anyone says
growing up the way she did makes your eyes really open and be grateful for everything good that happens in your life
I lived a very similar life
It's hard to have parents and not have parents
You grow differently from the average
She helped raise her neice
Being the backbone in the family as the years past takes a really strong person
I, too, am that girl
Laura.. mad love for you, baby doll
MAD LOVE ❤️
Watching from RIVERSIDE!!! 🤪
I’ve been aware of Laura for years… I had NO IDEA she came from a childhood very similar to mine… BOTH of my parents were alcoholics… but I’m breaking the cycle for my kids just like she is ❤
I've been follower of Laura's since 2015, and hearing about her childhood and her trauma resonated so strongly with me. Now I am a mother of 2 kids and my husband was an alcoholic (just recently sober for 3 months now) but I know the pain and responsibility you feel in seeing it affect your kids and I get how Laura's mom said "hit the road and never come back". Was not planning on bawling this morning but DAMN. Thank you for sharing this so openly and not making any edits and not leaving anything out. I love you Laura! ❤
So proud to have given this girl my support for a decade. You’ve always been a star Laura & you’ve given so many a safe space. Proud of the journey you’ve lived, and to many more years of us watching you fulfill those dreams girl. 💗💗
If anyone knows me they know I’m a Laura STAN. She’s always always been so genuine and so herself, honest about her mistakes and doesn’t hide her real life. I’m only a few minutes in and I’m already crying. What a life this sweet woman had. No wonder she took Eryn in and works so hard and is still to this day so appreciative of her life. Coming from a really untraditional and hard childhood myself, this hits me hard in the chest. I just wanna give her a hug. If only little Laura Lee could see how beautiful her life turned out to be. Mama Lee is looking down and beaming with pride. I know that for sure. Thank you Laura for opening your heart to us. We love you so much ❤
I hope to hear Tyler’s story too and how the early relationship with Laura was ❤
I had to redo my makeup bc I was listening as I was getting ready and I could not stop crying. I have a baby and I know the desperation I feel when I can’t meet the tiniest need of his- I can’t imagine how you guys felt with Eryn. We are so proud of you Laura, you saved yourself and Eryn too.
This episode is so hard to watch but also so inspiring. Laura is the epitome of strength, perseverance and beauty (inside and out). I recognize all too well that lump in the throat one gets when looking back at the past and remembering that pain. I’m so happy Laura is in the best place for herself, Ty and Eryn
Laura, I cried the entire episode. I thought that being a viewer for so long I was already close to you but I found a new love and admiration for you that I didn’t even know was possible. This was so beautiful to watch. Thank you for continuing to be so raw and open with your audience, THIS IS WHY WE LOVE YOU. I can’t wait for part 2❤️
I have been a follower of Ms Laura Lee for about 10 years. I usually don’t comment, but your story is such an inspiration that I just had to. You are an amazing human. Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable with us. We love you!
Laura if your reading this YOU DID IT!!! You’re so amazing! ❤
Hearing the crack in her voice. I can tell how painful this is to talk about. Laura, you are so strong and one hell of a strong woman. You don’t realize how much this podcast is going to help others. It made me realize I’m not the only one with an unstable father. I’m so glad you opened up and talked about this painful experience…
Holy moly! Im over here crying when youre talking about your mama!
It’s amazing how much more you can understand someone just by knowing their childhood! I think it is such a beautiful thing! ❤
Wow i didn’t know i was about to cry my eyes out today.
A heart for Laura💚
I never watched Laura’s videos but when she adopted her niece I followed that journey and told me everything I needed to know about her ❤
Netflix needs to make a documentary about all the OG TH-camrs- y'all have such inspiring stories and have been through so much that people don't know about. love you Laura!
Pain in Laura’s voice and just her overall look is deep. Sending you lots of love and a tight hug. You’re a blessing to this world. 🙏🏼🤍
Laura, the real one stayed. I just want it hug you. You’ve taught me so much. I can’t wait for your best of self help books series!! (You haven’t announced it, I’m just manifesting it 🥰)
