I agree! I like to listen while walking somewhere or cleaning the house etc when I can't look at video or video would be distracting. Also good for reducing screen time :)
I haven’t even watched a whole minute but just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying these recent videos 💙. We love a vulnerable queen 👸🏻
The classic sleepover movies of my youth (I'm 25) were 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' and 'A Cinderella Story'. I had a DVD that had both movies on one disc and you better believe I brought it to every single sleepover as a kid!
Katherine can i just sayyyyyy- I love your content dude. Whenever I see you in my sub box I save it for my sacred meal time sit down time- thanks for sharing with me
Just building on my thoughts from the previous video- public transport is honestly an amazing way of getting to know a new city! You get to just sit there and watch the city go by and see a lot more people than if you were sitting in a car. Also I vote podcast!
These videos are kinda saving my life. Honestly. Sometimes I find them validating, other times challenging. And each end of the spectrum has its value. I'm so fucking lonely right now. Adulthood has been brutal to my relationships and the section about how you are finding community in Seattle simultaneously made me feel hopeful for the future and made me feel pressure to work for my social life. So powerful.
So I’m friends with mostly locals in the city I moved to after college. Smaller cities tend to be like that. I love the ease of transportation, friendliness, and price of smaller cities but I think it’d be nice to meet like-minded “have to move away to grow” type people. Sometimes feel like I’m the only person not visiting my parents/ having a family obligation every weekend, or like I’m navigating life as opposed to building something. I’ve maintained an otherness lonely feeling, which is comforting in an I can do what I want without being judged way, but also keeps me feeling unsettled. Idk feeling the void deeply tonight
Sign me tf up to a Katherout stream-of-consciousness podcast. A podcast would be great for listening to on the go and at any time in a way that a livestream wouldn't.
literally get so excited when i see a new video from you! speaking of sleepovers: when i was young it would always be sleepover, aquamarine, those types of cute girly girl movies. and when i got to high school it would end up being some kind of campy horror film. also about podcasts vs twitch, i love podcasts but i find myself pulling twitch up more often. sometimes i like the livestream aspect more.
thank you so much for your vulnerability and openness with your life and experiences. it’s so lovely and refreshing to see someone being so real and raw online, especially someone in the same phase of life as me. thanks for helping me feel less alone trying to survive and thrive in my 20s❤️
Go to sleepover movie was the Ring !! We loved scaring ourselves shitless don't know why and also how it stayed scary despite the fact we had seen it so many times! Must say still love that movie today though - total classic.
Watching your videos is honestly like chatting with an old friend. I totally agree with what you said on the language around oversharing and how we're taught that being vulnerable is frowned upon. Our highest natural selves deserve to be seen! So grateful for your vlogs!
The way you feel about Seattle is how I feel about Portland. I've lived in Portland 6 years and am still horny for it in a gross way. The trees, cute neighborhoods, granola quirky energy, vegan food, moss, rain, coffee, Victorian houses, art murals, view of mountains, river, bridges, etc. I've been going up to Seattle a couple times a year to visit friends since I moved here and I noticed this past couple years Seattle changed a lot bc of the tech there. It's gotten too bougie for me. I felt oddly poor and under-dressed last time I was in Capitol Hill, it was bizarre! But it seems your experience is much different.
The use of the words oversharing and productivity brought me to your channel but I agree too. There's a value system taped lightly by those words but not entirely condensed by them. You create and get shit done and get vulnerable and share, and I love that and need more of that in my life. Like you said, those words are like disclaimers for those value systems and directions for your videos, but then the people who wanted that shit came on over instead of those who wouldn't want that.
It's literally so perfect that I've been recommended your channel today! I haven't even finished the video but the energy and thoughts you're sharing couldn't resonate more. Can't wait to binge your videos for the rest of the day!
the only time i've left mexico in my life was on summer '16 when i won a scolarship to go to study english in seattle and OMHY i think i have to tell you i think i saw seattle the way you do so i know what you mean
That first clip of you in the pretty pink shirt and those beautiful earrings and the pretty sunset and what you had to say, I just... chef's kiss. I'm grateful that you're making these videos, they're so inspirational!
Ugh girlie I have been loving these vulnerability / true daily life blogs. My life is sort of mirroring yours right now but a few weeks late, I also just moved to a new city and am having a fragile and sorta rough time. I also just got my car towed today! Making new friends is hard and incredibly scary/vulnerable/self-consciousness-inducing, as is starting my new job. But it is *such* a relief to see I’m not the only one going through these things. I’m really loving this radical vulnerability, especially seeing it on TH-cam where the norm is to only show a curated, polished life. Normalize vulnerabilityTube! Pls keep this sweet sweet content coming, sharing tips for establishing yourself in a new city, career and workplace updates.. it’s all good.
i didn't go to a lot of sleepovers but i did go to one (while i was in like high school) where we watched pitch perfect lol really loving this series! podcast route or twitch route both sound good to me
I agree! I've never liked the term over-sharing. I've always had the response "okay and? I'm comfortable sharing about XXX topic and you're not. Am I over-sharing? Or as you too scared to be vulnerable?"
Your videos make me want to create content. Like, actually talk about my day to day. I can't explain it, but I feel like for so long I grew up thinking that my voice wasn't important, that its kept me from 'daring to share'. You hit the nail on the head, there is this sort of censoring vibe, where people may only want to hear a level of what they frame as deep. Thanks for putting it out there
BRO I FEEEEEL what you mean about gyms!! When I'm there, if I think too much about it, it really freaks me out!! Like all of us on these little machines forces to movement inside this little.building because we spend all day being stagnant and pushing our bodies for others!!
So relatable. I question if I should be vulnerable online all the time, but I end up doing it anyway even if it’s cringey. I watch some of my youtube videos that I uploaded earlier this year and cringe, but whatever I was feeling in the moment when I recorded them was real and that’s what matters. It’s crazy that we collectively think being vulnerable is a revolutionary act when it should be the most natural thing. It’s what allows us to create real connections with people, it allows them to appreciate and love us. No matter what we do, there will always be people who won’t like us for whatever reason so we might as well be vulnerable so that “our people” could “find us”. Thank you for being vulnerable, it’s exactly why I enjoy watching your videos. P.S: Living for these long conversational videos! 👏🏼
Yeeeee been super into your moving new city videos as I just moved as well and have started a new job. You’re openness surrounding the insecurities that arise through this new chapter help to ease my stress surrounding the same issues. I hope you have a fantastic week and keep up the authentic content :)
These videos feel like talking with a friend at a sleepover 💛 As someone still getting her "sea legs" re: being a young adult no longer in school, seeing you explore your new home in Seattle and take classes and meet people is such an inspiration for being a community-minded person who is finding ways to thrive.
GIRL omg when you said "cycling the drain" bc that's similar to how I picture my mind except it's those big bowls in science museums that marbles (thoughts) spiral around down to a hole at the bottom.
I have made you my friend in my head. So as a friend. If you need help launching, organizing or getting comfortable with a podcast. I can definitely help. I have a home “studio” but I’m also trained to work on the bigger rigs and use the more professional studio at my school.
I don't know how long I've been watching you probably since I was in high school 2015/2016 ish and I've always been like wow I wish Katherine would be my best friend and I still feel that way in a very different phase of my life. You literally come across like a wise and vulnerable older sister and I just vibe with it so much.
Totally agree with you on this statement regarding the Seattle freeze-I think it's a bunch of nonsense. Fellow transplant here. I moved from San Francisco to Seattle during summer of 2021. Everyone here is quite lovely and I've been making friends just fine! Good luck to you and perhaps I'll see ya around.
American society was designed to be super individualistic/superficial. It goes well with rugged capitalism, where it's designed with the ideas of 'weak vs strong.' Humans arent' designed like that, I think. I think we all need a sense of community. Also, I think the meaningfulness of productivity and other economic variables is a big generational difference. The Boomer and the generation after at least saw economic gains and wages that kept up with life so at least for them there was some reality to the idea that work/productivity can lead to a good life most of us now, in this generation, see declining wages, climate change, stagnation, and other fuckery and so we're all just like screw this, let's be happy, let's not work ourselves to death
Like always, great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, it’s always nice to see other people go through the same things as me, especially those who are also in their early/mid twenties like myself. Being an adult is hard! Also, I’m very happy for you finding friends and enjoying your new home!! Take care!!! 🥺🥰
Love your videos! I found you about a year ago and your channel is so interesting and so are you. :) I look forward to your videos and hearing your point of view!
I would love a podcast! Thank you for sharing your adventures and thoughts with us. I do like the vlog snippet whenever it feels more fitting to you as opposed to an entire day. Hope you have a good week ahead!
If you like giving presentations, I was in a sales operations role at a tech company (before I left for grad school lol) and training/enablement roles do presentations all the time, if you want to build those skills in the ~corporate environment~
I had to pause the video to answer this question but I think you would do awesome at podcasts. You have a cool talking voice. I could listen you talk all day. Very relaxing 🥴
You’ve quite literally done more in your 6 weeks here in Seattle than I’ve done in my 20 years Iiving here 🤣 I really love the vulnerable moments and also the BEAUTIFUL b-roll, it’s motivating me to leave the house and truly see what this city has to offer!
I'm only like a minute into the video BUT... I don't feel like I can be myself EVER in society. I don't feel like I can share my whole self with anyone besides my fiancee (and even then I'm scared he'll run away). Friends don't wanna hear it. I genuinely feel like people do not care about who I am as a person... Just whatever facade I can present to the world. They only care about how someone can improve their life. As soon as I bring something to the table that's anything other than positive it's over sharing and I'm just weak and seeking attention or whatever. It's insane.
My friends and I watched SNICK at our sleepovers in the 90’s. I think it was Ren & Stimpy, All That, something else, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? It was the best! I tried watching Are You Afraid Of The Dark a while ago with my daughter and it was so stupid 🙄 Sometimes memories are better. Lol
17:54 The Sounders' band would be so much fun for any band geek! I regret not having kept up my trumpet chops after college marching band... but even on my best day, I probably wouldn't have passed the Sound Wave audition anyway. Also, relatively new subscriber here, but I've really enjoyed your genuine take on moving to Seattle!
I've lived in Seattle for basically a year now and the seattle freeze is VERY real. I've found that most people make friends via their workplace, and that is especially applicable to anyone that works in tech. I've found it basically impossible to meet people by chance, and you've got to really put in the effort. I think a lot of it has to do with the culture here, and people that are from here are generally more closed off than people in my home state. they're friendly once you get to know them, but that's after breaking down a ton off walls.
On making friends with locals: I just moved to the Seattle area in August for my partner's job and having coworkers nearby is a huge boost to getting connected to people. We also reconnected with college friends who live in the area!
I lived in Spain and I made friends with mostly expats except one who was an immigrant. In Europe, it's way more common to have expat friends and since it's a touristic place you tend to rotate through friends.
It's interesting what you say about vulnerability online, because I get the opposite impression. I feel like right now vulnerability (both on youtube and in politics) is what the public is craving more than ever. I think this is also what's causing a lot of the increase in parasocial relationships we're seeing between creators and fans as well. Especially when you look at old school youtube, there used to be a clearer barrier between creator and audience (the creators made a certain product, whether a skit or an educational video) but now more people include personal aspects of their life in their content as well or make video diary type videos. Not saying its a good or bad thing, just a change I've noticed that comes with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Sooo I really resonate with the piece on being judged on your work in a professional/corporate setting. I work for an app in the bay area and everyone I work with is extremely career achievement oriented and I’m not and I hate that I have to work with people who are so opposite of me : (
Podcast! Also, I’ve heard that the theatre in Seattle is really good. I’m in Canada and never been, but heard good things through some connections up North!
I would loveeeee a podcast but would also love an occasional twitch stream! Twitch streams get me through work a lot of the time lol it feels like I'm coworking
Re: Your question about transplants making friends with locals versus transplants... I'm an SF Bay Area transplant, have been for more than a decade, and all but like, two of my acquaintances are from here. I've met hundreds of folks who I consider close acquaintances, and my few actual "friends", none of whom are transplants. I also lived in Australia for a bit, I became besties with a transplant from a differenter different country, but aside from him all of my friends were at least Australian, although from all over Australia, not just Brisbane, where I was living. When I lived in Germany for a bit, aside from my classmates in my German class, who were from all OVER the place (and our teacher was a Romanian super-polyglot), all of my friends were German. Iunno, I just never saw the point in seeking out fellow U.S. transplants anywhere I've ever lived. Not that I have any problem with most folks from the U.S., I just want to experience the local culture in as many ways as possible. And when I moved to the SF Bay Area, I did it because it felt like coming HOME. Every time I've left and returned, it also felt like coming home. Folks here tend to view me as a local, because it's just a natural fit for me.
"what city besides Tokyo do you have a beautiful mountain overlooking the skyline with the lake in front of it? Like, what the f***!" I actually died laughing xD
I had a sleepover when I was 11. It was the last day of 5th grade. We watched Anaconda then when that scared us( a group of 11 yrold boys) we watched Titanic. 🙂
I have always worked out effectively at home/outdoors and enjoy saving money on gyms BUT I would also join a gym if I moved to a new city bc I would want to meet other people who enjoy physical activity like rock climbing or Pilates or pole dance (lol my imaginary self) so I don’t blame you at all
omg i would love a podcast! i feel like you could make the perfect alternative young womxn looking for content that is relatable and socially-minded that goes beyond the typical girl boss or hustle narrative.
Agree! “Oversharing” is a term created by people too insecure to express vulnerability in any way
!!!
Yes do a podcast!! would love that 🙌🏻
I like podcasts more, I can listen to them easily while on the bus/train/car :)
ditto!
I back this too, feels like company!
noted !!!
I agree! I like to listen while walking somewhere or cleaning the house etc when I can't look at video or video would be distracting. Also good for reducing screen time :)
I haven’t even watched a whole minute but just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying these recent videos 💙. We love a vulnerable queen 👸🏻
Same here!
i'm so glad you like em 🥲🥲🥲
Aquamarine was an absolute banger of a sleepover movie.
omg yess!! it was one of my faves too
AQUAMARINEEEEE
So great to see a young adult who is intelligent, fun, philosophical - and still popular - on YT.
I'm not popular but I try to be those other things
omg
@@Katherout I don't know if that's "omg thanks," or "omg, I can't believe you said that." (:
The classic sleepover movies of my youth (I'm 25) were 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' and 'A Cinderella Story'. I had a DVD that had both movies on one disc and you better believe I brought it to every single sleepover as a kid!
A CINDERELLA STORY.... a classic
Katherine can i just sayyyyyy- I love your content dude. Whenever I see you in my sub box I save it for my sacred meal time sit down time- thanks for sharing with me
SACRED MEAL TIME SIT DOWN TIME is what i also have with my fave youtubers this is such an honor
Just building on my thoughts from the previous video- public transport is honestly an amazing way of getting to know a new city! You get to just sit there and watch the city go by and see a lot more people than if you were sitting in a car.
Also I vote podcast!
"sisterhood of the travelling pants" and "legally blond" are always our go-to's!
These videos are kinda saving my life. Honestly. Sometimes I find them validating, other times challenging. And each end of the spectrum has its value. I'm so fucking lonely right now. Adulthood has been brutal to my relationships and the section about how you are finding community in Seattle simultaneously made me feel hopeful for the future and made me feel pressure to work for my social life. So powerful.
So I’m friends with mostly locals in the city I moved to after college. Smaller cities tend to be like that. I love the ease of transportation, friendliness, and price of smaller cities but I think it’d be nice to meet like-minded “have to move away to grow” type people. Sometimes feel like I’m the only person not visiting my parents/ having a family obligation every weekend, or like I’m navigating life as opposed to building something. I’ve maintained an otherness lonely feeling, which is comforting in an I can do what I want without being judged way, but also keeps me feeling unsettled. Idk feeling the void deeply tonight
love hearing your perspective, i can totally see where you're coming from

also, would LOVE a podcast
Go to sleepover movie was the Ring !! We loved scaring ourselves shitless don't know why and also how it stayed scary despite the fact we had seen it so many times! Must say still love that movie today though - total classic.
Watching your videos is honestly like chatting with an old friend. I totally agree with what you said on the language around oversharing and how we're taught that being vulnerable is frowned upon. Our highest natural selves deserve to be seen! So grateful for your vlogs!
💓💓💓
been loving the recent content, i always feel better and like intellectually stimulated after watching your videos :)
The way you feel about Seattle is how I feel about Portland. I've lived in Portland 6 years and am still horny for it in a gross way. The trees, cute neighborhoods, granola quirky energy, vegan food, moss, rain, coffee, Victorian houses, art murals, view of mountains, river, bridges, etc. I've been going up to Seattle a couple times a year to visit friends since I moved here and I noticed this past couple years Seattle changed a lot bc of the tech there. It's gotten too bougie for me. I felt oddly poor and under-dressed last time I was in Capitol Hill, it was bizarre! But it seems your experience is much different.
coming from SF gives a lil different bent to it for sure!
The use of the words oversharing and productivity brought me to your channel but I agree too. There's a value system taped lightly by those words but not entirely condensed by them. You create and get shit done and get vulnerable and share, and I love that and need more of that in my life. Like you said, those words are like disclaimers for those value systems and directions for your videos, but then the people who wanted that shit came on over instead of those who wouldn't want that.
It's literally so perfect that I've been recommended your channel today! I haven't even finished the video but the energy and thoughts you're sharing couldn't resonate more. Can't wait to binge your videos for the rest of the day!
the only time i've left mexico in my life was on summer '16 when i won a scolarship to go to study english in seattle and OMHY i think i have to tell you i think i saw seattle the way you do so i know what you mean
omg hope you can visit again too!!!
That first clip of you in the pretty pink shirt and those beautiful earrings and the pretty sunset and what you had to say, I just... chef's kiss. I'm grateful that you're making these videos, they're so inspirational!
:'))
Ugh girlie I have been loving these vulnerability / true daily life blogs. My life is sort of mirroring yours right now but a few weeks late, I also just moved to a new city and am having a fragile and sorta rough time. I also just got my car towed today! Making new friends is hard and incredibly scary/vulnerable/self-consciousness-inducing, as is starting my new job. But it is *such* a relief to see I’m not the only one going through these things.
I’m really loving this radical vulnerability, especially seeing it on TH-cam where the norm is to only show a curated, polished life. Normalize vulnerabilityTube!
Pls keep this sweet sweet content coming, sharing tips for establishing yourself in a new city, career and workplace updates.. it’s all good.
Our sleepover movies were Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion and Now & Then. I still remember every word of both!
YESSSSS ROMY & MICHELLE
i didn't go to a lot of sleepovers but i did go to one (while i was in like high school) where we watched pitch perfect lol
really loving this series! podcast route or twitch route both sound good to me
I’d totally listen to the podcast. I learn and reflect on so much hearing your train of thoughts.
Oh boy oh boy I love these videos. The realism is so valuable
I agree! I've never liked the term over-sharing. I've always had the response "okay and? I'm comfortable sharing about XXX topic and you're not. Am I over-sharing? Or as you too scared to be vulnerable?"

these feel like such a friend-to-friend conversation that it almost feels unnatural to pause the video, i love the vibe 💕

I would adoreeee a podcast! I love listening to them at work or on a walk :)
All the films you mentioned, Mean girls, bridesmaids, every Disney film made 🙈 also podcast would be amazing. Can listen whilst I work 🙌🥺
Podcast and be it stream of consciousness. I'm constantly listening to podcasts!
I would love a podcast! Thank you for sharing your adventures and thoughts with us.
I do like the vlog snippet whenever it feels more fitting to you as opposed to an entire day.

I watched the high school musical premier at a birthday sleepover when I was 11. Bless 💜
podcast!! they're so much easier to put on in the background during work or exercising, and listen in to you share your thoughts!
my go to sleepover movie was she’s the man - I could quote that whole movie ive seen it so many times
I had to pause the video to answer this question but I think you would do awesome at podcasts. You have a cool talking voice. I could listen you talk all day. Very relaxing 🥴
podcast is def a good idea

You could do Greenroom where it’s live podcasting and then upload to Spotify
girl you seems so happy and falling in love with your city! 🌟
Been loving your videos this year!
On making friends with locals: I just moved to the Seattle area in August for my partner's job and having coworkers nearby is a huge boost to getting connected to people. We also reconnected with college friends who live in the area!
Hell yeah! The last time I went to Seattle it must've been 2001! I'm coming back in the Spring, I can't wait! The whole area is just soooo beautiful 😍
i love how happy you are 🥺
Podcasts are awesome! I would love to listen to podcasts from you!
I lived in Spain and I made friends with mostly expats except one who was an immigrant. In Europe, it's way more common to have expat friends and since it's a touristic place you tend to rotate through friends.
For my friends and me the go-to sleepover movie was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 😊 I’d love a podcast!
the music in your vids is always so amazing!
also for some reason my sleepover movie mem is The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy???
It's interesting what you say about vulnerability online, because I get the opposite impression. I feel like right now vulnerability (both on youtube and in politics) is what the public is craving more than ever. I think this is also what's causing a lot of the increase in parasocial relationships we're seeing between creators and fans as well. Especially when you look at old school youtube, there used to be a clearer barrier between creator and audience (the creators made a certain product, whether a skit or an educational video) but now more people include personal aspects of their life in their content as well or make video diary type videos. Not saying its a good or bad thing, just a change I've noticed that comes with its own benefits and drawbacks.
grew up in seattle and moved away for college. Miss seattle so much its perfect
Sooo I really resonate with the piece on being judged on your work in a professional/corporate setting. I work for an app in the bay area and everyone I work with is extremely career achievement oriented and I’m not and I hate that I have to work with people who are so opposite of me : (
Podcast plssssss. I will listen on my daily drive to campus (:
Podcast!
Also, I’ve heard that the theatre in Seattle is really good. I’m in Canada and never been, but heard good things through some connections up North!
Katherout podcast 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼
I would loveeeee a podcast but would also love an occasional twitch stream! Twitch streams get me through work a lot of the time lol it feels like I'm coworking
Re: Your question about transplants making friends with locals versus transplants...
I'm an SF Bay Area transplant, have been for more than a decade, and all but like, two of my acquaintances are from here. I've met hundreds of folks who I consider close acquaintances, and my few actual "friends", none of whom are transplants.
I also lived in Australia for a bit, I became besties with a transplant from a differenter different country, but aside from him all of my friends were at least Australian, although from all over Australia, not just Brisbane, where I was living.
When I lived in Germany for a bit, aside from my classmates in my German class, who were from all OVER the place (and our teacher was a Romanian super-polyglot), all of my friends were German.
Iunno, I just never saw the point in seeking out fellow U.S. transplants anywhere I've ever lived. Not that I have any problem with most folks from the U.S., I just want to experience the local culture in as many ways as possible. And when I moved to the SF Bay Area, I did it because it felt like coming HOME. Every time I've left and returned, it also felt like coming home. Folks here tend to view me as a local, because it's just a natural fit for me.
I was always bringing my High School Musical 3 DVD to sleepovers hahha
Would totally listen to a podcast by you!!
A Cheetah Girl double feature was (and still is) a sleepover go to
"what city besides Tokyo do you have a beautiful mountain overlooking the skyline with the lake in front of it? Like, what the f***!" I actually died laughing xD
I had a sleepover when I was 11. It was the last day of 5th grade. We watched Anaconda then when that scared us( a group of 11 yrold boys) we watched Titanic. 🙂

I have always worked out effectively at home/outdoors and enjoy saving money on gyms BUT I would also join a gym if I moved to a new city bc I would want to meet other people who enjoy physical activity like rock climbing or Pilates or pole dance (lol my imaginary self) so I don’t blame you at all
