About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 5 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion and lifestyle videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We loved documenting our journey trying to concieve and getting pregnant, are now so happy to be sharing our experience as first time parents to our daughter, Grace.

Really needed this transparency today. Life has been hard lately, the smallest things seem like mountains to climb. Your honesty about just getting up and trying to create a good day really spoke to me. I'm going to try to start my day in a way that acknowledges my struggle and is also setting me up for success. We're in this together. Thank you, Sierra!
Hey Sierra, I really appreciate you sharing this 🥺 I’ve been in a depression for about 3 weeks now and I’ve been trying really hard to pull myself out of it this week, and this video might help give me the push that I need! Thank you ❤️
How did you know this was exactly the video I needed right now. I woke up in a funk and watching your videos when I get ready in the morning always brighten my day!
Thank you for sharing!! I have been trying to pull myself out of a depression as well, this definitely made me feel less alone ❤️
I hope you’re feeling better! I fell into such a deep depression when I got my 2nd postpartum period. I assume mainly hormonal but it put me in such a funk. I’m still recovering and trying to heal mentally. Postpartum has been a wild ride that no one really talks about. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
I have not been diagnosed with anxiety or depression but this past week I was feeling very out of it and down! Today I am actually not at work because I feel sick, so that may be as to why but I have a little 8 month old as well and I want to just be with him and miss him! I feel like I want to cry without him! BUT, I think being off work today was much needed for mental health and my physical health! Thank you for being so transparent as always! We’re not alone in this!!💜
So many of the TH-camrs I follow seem to be struggling with depression, and being overwhelmed. I wonder, is it a hazard of the job? Or more like a public example of where our whole culture is?
I struggle with depression, sometimes going whole weeks without showering, getting dressed, and several weeks without leaving my house. Thank God for my fur babies who are a constant source of comfort. My depression is directly linked to my autoimmune illnesses which have robbed me of health and vitality. I began watching TH-cam when I wasn’t able to teach any more due to failing health. I relate to those content creators who are transparent with their struggles.
So thank you for sharing your struggles with us!
Look up business socks. it will make in bed business meetings make even more sense!
Thank you for talking about having bipolar; I really feel that it is misunderstood. My biggest struggle is not being able to trust the way I feel. Am I sad or am I bipolar? Am I frustrated or am I bipolar? Am I justified in the way I feel or am I bipolar?
Steven sleeping his way to the top of Sierra Schultzzie Inc 😂
We have the same baby popit toy and have somehow named it “bloop bloop”.
Where do you get Grace's sleep sacks? They're so cute!
Hi Sierra, I am a therapist who has worked quite a bit with bipolar disorder and mood difficulties. All of the things you’re doing are amazing (I’m sure you talk about this in therapy) but routine and mood independent decision making (doing things you know are helpful but don’t feel like doing) are the key to managing mood shifts. You are amazing and showing your daughter such great self-care and health. Keep it up!
booooo unsolicited advice booooo
Sierra,
I also have bipolar disorder and the way yours manifests seems to be similar to mine. When I found out you also have bipolar it made me feel so much less alone. The stigma of people with bipolar disorder is hard to deal with sometimes. They make it seem like people with bipolar aren’t capable of holding a job, being a good wife and a mom. I really appreciate you sharing your struggles. I hope you start feeling better. ❤️
Same, so true !
Thank you for being so honest! I'm due with my first in 6 weeks and I feel immense pressure to outwardly just show that I'm thankful for having a baby (which I am) but sometimes I just want to be real since I've always struggled with depression. You make me feel less alone!
I can relate! My baby is two weeks old as of today and post partum depression is definitely setting in for me. I have an appt with my dr the 22nd where we are discussing it, I’m probably gonna go on medicine to help. Don’t feel guilty for any feelings you are experiencing or will experience, what women go through to bring a human here is very hard and overwhelming!
I had depression in my third trimester and then it went away after having my son and then I got it back again at 7 months post partum and now I’m at 10 months and it’s still here. So glad to see and hear people talk about it. Sometimes I just feel so alone in this.
Thank you for your realness and honestly!! It doesn’t go unnoticed.
Being depressed as a parent is so weird because it's almost like you have to force yourself out of your body because they deserve to not feel your depression. Sending you hugs 💕 you are doing so great and you're so loved
I hope the Big Bear trip provided some relief too, Sierra. Always take time for yourself if you need it! 💗
Thank for your transparency because I’ve been feeling depressed for like a week and like you I don’t really know why… it’s so hard to pull yourself out of it but it helps seeing other people going through the same thing!! 💗 you got this!!
Bed business. 🤣
thank you for the little encouragement at the end of the vlog. I've been struggling so much with being in a mental health slump with my OCD recently. really meant a lot to hear you say "I'm rooting for you" ❤ I'm rooting for you too sierra!
I have a depression sweater. Instead of telling everyone in the house I'm in a funk ill throw that sweater on to let them know. It's my most comfy sweater. It works for me and my husband. He knows to maybe not tell me something bad or maybe I need more hugs etc.
This is so precious. I wish I had that kind of support!
Whew! This video hit home so hard today. Thank you. It’s such a comfort connecting with other who feel the same. It can be so isolating feeling like you’re not in control of your body/mind.
Thank you SO much for sharing, I’ve been feeling a similar way recently, and it really helps me feel like I’m not alone!
Hii!! I have a video idea for you- can you do a video on testing shark tank products?
The clip of her crawling to the camera absolutely melted my heart. I know I will be a mother someday and that joy felt very personal to me, thank you for sharing it with us
I'm feeling the weight of the world lately thank you for your transparency and for sharing this day with me♥
Woah this came at the perfect time. My depression and anxiety came back with a vengeance just a few days ago and I was feeling so alone.. even just seeing the title made me feel better. Thanks for the good vibes Sierra!🌸
Jessie, I had the same feeling. Could copy/paste your comment, thats how accurate it is for me as well.
Very grateful for this video.
Regarding Ukraine - it's war. Not crisis, not conflict. It's a real war and the invading side tries to make it look less than it is by using "crisis" or "conflict". So please please call it like it is.
I'm so glad you made this vlog, and I just wanna say Steven's transition made it that much better lol
Aww Sierra, I can hear it so much in your voice during the first minute of this video that you're feeling down.. I hope you're able to go easy on yourself. The world is heavy right now and having a depression is just the worst. Hang in there
Thank you for sharing Sierra. Sometimes seeing how productive and motivated you are triggers my insecurities when I can’t even fathom doing anything but lay in bed. So it’s helpful to know even someone who I see as a role model for organization and motivation has tough days too. I know it’s difficult to talk about mental health on the internet but I loved relating to you even more!
She is SUCH a role model for organization, ambition, and motivation. I feel exactly the same; I have been tentatively diagnosed as Bipolar, but the depression has always been my worse polarity (thankfully my mania isn’t terrible). So seeing someone who I feel is a thriving business badass who has similar struggles to me is such a relief and an inspiration.
Thank you so much for being honest with depression struggles. I struggle, too, and have been having such a hard time. So tough. We can do this!! Fight, fight, fight!!
You did it. Sierra. You stayed. ❤️❤️❤️ That’s strong of you.
I usually go home. 😔
hi sierra! thanks so much for being so open about mental health in your video, and also for adding donation links about the war in ukraine. but while i dont mean to sound nitpicky, please dont call it a 'crisis' - its not a crisis, its a war, an invasion. crisis implies neutrality in a situation thats anything but neutral. i know it probably wasnt meant as such, but words matter in this conversation and i just wanted to share. hope youre doing well!
I feel like grace hit such a developmental spurt recently! It’s so beautiful to watch her grow and change:)
Thanks Sierra. This is the second time I’ve watched this vlog in two days. My mental health has been quite bad lately. Trying to be gentle with myself, no beating myself up for not doing things. Depression is isolating, you think no one has ever felt as bad as you do now.
Love this video Sierra! Also Grace’s laugh and “is that a funny crab?” was too sweet and adorable
This really helped me today, thank you. Just actually had an appt this morning about upping my medication. I hope that I'm going to get through this soon like you are.💕 I hope you are having a good day today.
Orgain protein superiority!!!! hahaha, all jokes aside I also had a rough day and this vlog is what I needed to see, Thank you
Hey Sierra... Sending you a warm hug all the way from India! TBH I usually watch your videos when I feel low and anxious... You never failed to make me feel happy and positive... I hope you feel better soon :)
Thank you so much Sierra. I’m dealing with depression today too (hormone-related) and seeing this was really helpful :)
the way I got an antidepressant ad on this video...that was targeted 😤
(nothing wrong with taking antidepressants, I just thought it was funny that they put that ad on this video)
Grace’s laugh is changing, it doesn’t sound like a little baby laugh anymore 🥲 I love how you guys talk about life as parents without exposing her too much! Also I need to know where you got your Apple Watch band?? I’ve been searching for something like that!
That is the coolest water ride I’ve ever seen! And oh my Grace looked like mini Steve after her nap more than ever! Also thank you for sharing your mental health struggles and coping mechanisms. 💕
Thank you so much for being so honest. It really is comforting to know that I’m not alone in what I am feeling. Things have been hard lately with my anxiety and depression and hearing that other people feel the same way helps the weight of it all not feel so heavy.
Sierra,
Thank you for sharing your mental health journey and keeping it real. Love you and your family.
Thank you. The world is a better place because you are in it. That submarine ride is the coolest! Plus, I am a TH-camr, and you helped me with an idea. So double thank you!
it's so lovely to watch you make these beautiful memories with your little one, especially knowing how difficult some days can be for you. Honestly so inspiring and I know how hard it is to pull yourself out of a depressive mood (the bit where you wanted to just go straight back home, I FELT that!) sending lots of love xx
MDD here! I don't know what it's really like to not feel like this. Plus PTSD and a dissociative disorder. :( I wake up fried.
Thanks for opening up about your mental health, I myself have dysthymia and listening about other people's experiences helps a lot, I feel like I'm not alone.
Also, thanks for supporting Ukraine. I'm from Poland so this is happening just around the corner. Just a clarification - it's not a crisis. It's A WAR.
Thanks again x
Ah so early! Hope you are doing alright sierra!
I just wanted to say, I know you said getting out of bed right away would have been best, but I think it's also important to meet yourself where you're at.
Praise yourself for doing some work and getting up when you were ready.
Thank you for being so candid and transparent with us all!
i have chronic depressive disorder, have had it for over ten years. also have a generalized anxiety disorder. i love hearing other people's struggles with disorders sometimes because it makes me feel not alone. i LOVEE the transparency
Love that you live with tools and solutions. It’s so important ❤️
Grace's crawl and little 'do' in the end was just too adorable 🥰 These vlogs always make my day. Hope you will feel better soon 💞
Thank you for being here and sharing! I love this vlog channel , love seeing how far you’ve come as a mother and thanks for sharing the silence real struggle that some of us live everyday!
Grace giggling as you woke up her up was the cutest thing ever 😭
Hearing you talk about the heavy weight of getting up really spoke to me. I feel like my depression has lightened these past few weeks in some respects, but the dread of waking up and getting up for work is so prevalent and I forgot that’s something I need to remember
I really find my mental health tied to my cycle, and especially right before I get my period I have a hard time. Been trying to accept what my body does and take advantage of good energy/mood weeks and relax during the lower level times. Love you girl! My boy is a couple days younger than Grace. :)
Thank you so much for this video, Sierra ♥️. It truly helped me sooo much. Depression is very lonely, at least for me but being reminded that I’m not alone helps me. Very timely video sweet girl ♥️
Dear Sierra, you're like a sunshine. Your vlogs always make my day better and i hate that you are not feeling good. You are such a wonderful person going through so much, incredible mum and a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing these hard times with us, hope you'll be doing better soon. Sending all my love.. ♥
I've been in my head going through a bit of a rough time too. I'm at the point where I cry for no reason at all maybe it's cause I started a new job (which i love) and everything and everyone is new to me. But to see people i look up to like you be candid and open about depression gives me a bit of light at the end of this dark tunnel. Keep your head up ❤️😘
Sierra- so glad when you talk mental health- my daughter is 16 and deals with a lot- but not always great about sharing. I always feel like I learn so much from you!! Keep doing what you're doing!!
This is just what I needed on a day like today😭 I also got my period and am feeling sad. However, I went on TH-cam not sure what to do with myself and saw you uploaded a vlog and I feel immensely better! So thank you for being so transparent and real. Sometimes it’s nice to know someone else is feeling the way you are too and seeing you find a way to feel better encourages me! Also I did enjoy that silly transition into the next day, made me laugh haha
As someone with bipolar, it’s so great to see someone speak about their experience. Really helps me feel less alone. Of course it’s your choice how much you share about your struggles, but just wanted to let you know that your transparency has helped me and countless others no doubt. Forever my comfort TH-camr 💖
Sierra, you are so amazing and strong. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You will pull through momma! ❤️
Thank you for posting this. It made me feel better that I am not alone. Like, okay how I feel sometimes is okay. I'm glad you ended up feeling better.
Thank you for sharing!🌹 I am in a difficult life situation and I lost my best friend recently, so your videos really help me to calm down. Your family is adorable and I am so happy for you. 🌈 Sorry for my mistakes, I am from Czechia and thank you for your interest in the situation in Ukraine and your help, we are very close to Ukraine and we try to help as much as possible. ❤️
I love how you’re being completely transparent about your depression, it’s truly beautiful and I think you’re going to help a lot of people, especially other moms. I’m 23, my mom passed a little over a year ago and it was devastating, she was the most amazing mom in the world, but she did struggle with major depression and I just feel like watching this video when I was younger would’ve helped her a lot to show she wasn’t the only one. I think you’re gonna do amazing things Sierra, you already are and watching you brings me so much joy, and brings back some amazing memories for me. I love you so much girl, you’ve always been a role model to me and I’m so proud of you, you are truly great, and have an amazing heart and personality.
Thank you so much!!! I also, am diagnosed bi polar. I liken my depression to slogging through mud, uphill, with high winds. A quiet walk usually helps. Happy for the upswing for you! Grace's adorable auburn head is just too cute for words! What a sunny face she has! Bless you all! Take care!
Thank you for speaking about depression even in all forms.I have personally been experiencing depression and every little thing even laundry seems so big and overwhelming
I agree about things being easier once they’re mobile…at least in some ways. It’s a lot more physically exhausting needing to follow them and chase them and move things out of their way, but I think the mental load is a bit easier
Really enjoyed your sharing about depression. Ive just come out of a low myself and you articulated what it is like leading up to the low, during, and after xx
Graces Hair looks so much like Stephens, it is really cute.
It is so hard to get through my days at times and I totally feel you on that
I have Bipolar too. Thanks for sharing! We need to take the stigma out of mental health.
Thank you for this video, couldn’t come at a better time.
Needed this this week ❤️ thank you for being you and sharing this, can’t stress enough how much I enjoy your videos
I am just coming out of my PMDD two week hell window. I appreciate you sharing what you do to help with depression (something I've also been working on)
Totally helps me feel less alone in my feelings. I'm two months postpartum and wow. It's all been so much. Thought second baby would be different. It wasn't.
I love your honesty about depression. I have depression and it is nice to hear others talk about it. When I’m in my “funks” I feel so alone and it’s nice to know I’m not. Love your cute little family!
Thank you for opening up ❤️
Thank you for sharing this! It is helpful. I feel better just knowing it's more common than people think and you showed a really healthy way of keeping on, in my opinion. It's motivating to me and makes me want to push through this and not just shut down. ❤️
You are such a great mom, Sierra! Your playtime with Grace always makes me smile.
I always loved when my kids could crawl and would follow me when I needed to go in another room instead of just crying until I got back 😅
You’re helping so many people by being vulnerable and sharing this! 💜
i appreciate your honesty with mental health! i’m glad you’re feeling better 😌
Sierra, I am so curious about your tattoos! You should do a short video about what you have💕 Thanks for the amazing content as always😄
TW: Miscarriage
I had a miscarriage in January of this year and one in November last year. It’s exhausting and depression has been kicking my butt. It’s nice to know I’m not alone 💜
Thank you for always being so real and not trying to fake a smile, hope you're feeling better soon!
I can’t believe how big grace is getting I feel like it was just yesterday that you started you pregnancy journey!
First: Thank you for this video ❤
Second: Where did you get Grace's Moon sleep sack IT'S GORGEOUS, I NEED IT FOR MY DAUGHTER 🌟🙌🤩
I don't care what anyone else says; I swear when you were singing "what a beautiful morning" Grace said "it is!" 🥰
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Grace looks a lot like Stephen! SO CUTE!!! :)
Maybe I'm depressed? What Sierra accomplishes on a pulling out of depression day are what I can accomplish only on a highly productive day! I pull it together during the week so at work I seem to function fine but then I crash on the weekends and am literally only able to do the absolute bare minimum.
My babe was born a few days before Grace, and I’ve been realllly struggling. Like really struggling to get through most days. Thank you for explaining the blue days, and normalizing these convos. I truly feel like you and Stephen are part of my village
& can I just say you are the best momma, wife & TH-camr, I’m soooooo not in your usual demographic but you cheer me no matter what the topic 💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing a real life look into what depressions looks like. So many people assume it just means being sad all the time and being entirely unable to get out of bed. When in fact, that's not the case. You can experience joy when depressed. Things are just hard. And obviously, people looking in can't always see that.
I've also looked up foods that help serotonin, dopamine, and calm cortisol and on my off days I make sure to incorporate those beneficial foods and keep away from the ones that will throw me off
