Well, I certainly didn't anticipate tears filling my eyes while I drink my coffee this morning! 🥲❤ Very sweet video and heartfelt thank you. I did watch your video yesterday and liked and subscribed. I prayed for you right as I was watching! It was such a vulnerable and authentic video. I'm only 6 days into my TH-cam channel. Actually, I think today is day 7! (It's only about 6:00 in the morning here. Haha, still waking up my brain.) About the podcast, what a wonderful idea! I have no pointers because I don't know much about it at all. But I would certainly listen!! I'm amazed at the community of beautiful, supportive Gen Xers that I've had the pleasure of meeting this week. All the best to you, and I look forward to seeing more from you. 🥰❤
Your Big Brother sent me and I’m delighted to meet you! You’re a lovely representative of our Gen X and I look forward to watching more of your videos and sharing this Creator path together…Don’t Panic and Carry On! 💪 from 🇺🇸 here…we got you! ❤
Bev, I follow a lot of caravan/motorhome channels. There are a group of them who are all individual channels but they work together in a group to promote each other. The all have an overlay which runs along the bottom of all of their videos showing the logos of each of the other channels in the group and they all put a list of links to all the other channels in the description. One person has taken it open themselves to produce the rolling overlay video and sends out to each member. It’s not super high tech but it’s effective. There are probably now around 40 channels. I’ve subscribed to a number of them but doubt I would have found them without this group. All retain their individual styles and subjects but all make it easier to find each other. It works extremely well
Hello Bev I've just joined your channel. You're a lovely lady. Your brother was right. You are better looking than him. May I say you not only have the support of subscribers subscribers, but the support of the best brother anyone could wish for. My name is Nigel from Cwmbran and I will support you all the way. Good luck darling. ❤
@@BevThorogood btw- that’s my mom in my profile pic- I’m Dawn, I’m Gen x (58). I do appear in videos on my channel, but she is the “face” so to speak! 😉
Oh goodness! We are all feeling it!! Holy smokes! That was my last video too. I’ve been at it just over a year with just slightly less subscribers than you at this time. Now I would like to view that video you made that you felt as negative. Nice to meet you❤ Jase has brought me to you and although it will be a challenge to keep up with all of us and our videos it’s surely a beautiful movement and Jen is just a solid heart of gold! I’m going to get busy on my playlist too, to be honest I just have not figured out how. Your raw emotions are just beautiful. I also have had a pod cast the last 5 years. I have not given it much attention lately especially since anchor changed and I’m confused how to post now. We sure do have a voice don’t we? Lots of love ❤❤ let’s keep going.
Glad you aren't quitting. I think we will all find our feet. I try not to compare myself to other channels who just seem to take off right away; perhaps they don't have ADHD to wrestle with on top of the hurdle of learning how to create quality content on TH-cam! I'd be happy to do a collaboration with you. I have been meaning to try a live stream, as scary as it is.
We all have a wobble every once in a while... it's a lot to do a creative thing solo. You are doing great! Our GenX voice is so essential - weirdly, we are a marginalized voice on TH-cam, and the ONLY way to move out of the margins is to be here. You, being here, support all of us new GenX TH-camrs to be here. AND there is a point that we need to stop watching the gurus. They DO feed into our insecurity.
Bev, you had me crying last night, which compelled me to make my video. And I'm crying in my coffee this morning. Please don't take what I type next as self-promotion on my part, I just want to explain the impact your video from yesterday had on me... I am an introverted content creator whose blog subscribers pushed me to TH-cam because they wanted video content. So I started a faceless channel. I uploaded my first video, with my face on Sunday, and it was a nerve-wracking experience for me. But last night, I felt compelled to act. And something inside of me just grabbed the phone, pointed it at me and hit record. It felt so easy to do. True, it was less than 2 minutes long. But channels like yours is what I aspire to be...to be able to show up, with so much confidence in front of the camera. I need my tribe! ❤️ I would love to be a part of your podcast.❤
So glad you are staying around! I love discovering more gen x creators through this network that is developing. I'm 59, so I'm one of the OG gen xers. LOL. Your podcast sounds fabulous. I love that we have this platform to share the wisdom we've gained. Btw, the colors in your top are absolutely stunning on you!
Midlife GenX small TH-camr here. Beautiful Life Sage sent me (I'm also in her playlist). I look forward to going back and watching your videos. You are clearly a beautiful human and I'm glad I found you.
Bev you are amazing I was disturbed to hear that you were on the verge of quitting! So glad you are not! You have achieved so much already it would be such a shame to lose your experience and wisdom. I love you tube and will be watching you! Keep it going !
Wow thank you for making this! Another GenX small TH-cam creator here, making fitness videos for age 50 ++. I'm interested in hearing more about your Generation Exceptional Podcast 🙋
Bev, obviously not a creator but, I always watch all your stuff and I love it. Coming across your menopause work via the lovely Jo Mullen, has taken me on a big journey where I can be helped and help others. I’m sure through the Menochamp stuff or somewhere along the line I found Kirsty Steel at Strength & Bloom here on TH-cam and I use her workouts for the menopause and perimenopause. I have been able to help and support friends, colleagues, employees of friends and that’s all thanks to your work. This is a bit rambling and going off at all sorts of tangents but, I just wanted to get across how you and your work have impacted me and in turn those I have been able to signpost and help. Thank you 😊 You’re awesome, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your thought process. There are so many new doors opening already 🥰
Ah Nat I didn’t realise Jo connected us. How lovely 😻. You have been such an amazing advocate of my work and I’m incredibly grateful to you. You’re bloody awesome ❤️❤️🙄
You can definitely retrain YT to recommend different content. Aside from unsubscribing, consider clicking the 3 dots on a vid and select "not interested" or "don't recommend this channel" which could expedite the retraining process. I've only seen this and the last video of yours you referenced, but have subbed and look forward to seeing your journey continue!
I'm so glad that you have decided to stick around. Your brother asked me come over here (not personally, just from his channel) and I'm glad I did. I am also part of Gen-X and am about ready to start a TH-cam channel. My expectations are definitely low but with encouragement from this channel and others, I've decided to just do it. For that I am so grateful. Your video is what finally pushed me through that hesitance, that fear, of just going for it and creating something based upon my life's journey as well as my new found passion - and yes, I liked and subscribed :)
@@BevThorogood My channel will be a wildlife photography channel from the point of view of someone coming to love photography later in life. I do most of my photography along the beaches of New Hampshire. But thanks for asking and responding!
I hope you don’t give up! I’m on my third serious channel now and finally seeing results, but it’s because I started seeing them in me first and not just in the numbers. What has happened inside of YOU as a result of your channel? Be patient and it will work out. One thing I found out was that my content was better than my thumbnails which hindered views. If your retention is good but CTR not, simpler curiosity provoking thumbs will help a lot.
Good on ya Bev. You're stronger than you think. I've been trying to work out if we have met - I don't suppose you used to be a tutor for CiPD courses in Milton Keynes? The podcast sounds awesome. I hope I can get involved. I'm 57, and yes, have a small channel - 3 in fact lol. Yes you can do a group live stream with Streamyard. Do drop me a line, I'd love to help. what a fabulous idea
@@miniscenesgb hi. No I wasn’t but I’m not far from MK and have networked there often. I think my Streamyard lets me have up to 10 guests. I guess any more at one time might get a bit rowdy 😂
@@BevThorogood lol yes that would be a lot. It's just you reminded me of a wonderful tutor on a CiPD course I attended some years ago and I'm sure her first name was Bev :). I'm glad you're sticking with it. I only just found your channel and watched a couple of videos, very good indeed :) I'd definitely be interested in your podcast idea
I think your idea of unsubscribing from the training channels you no longer want to get in your feed. I shall do the same and see if I feel a little less inadequate! Much love Imi xxx
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. So new to this. Just hoping to encourage others. Very glad this popped up on my feed. Do you mind if I share to my creators playlist?
@@BevThorogood thank you so much for asking! Just hoping to encourage and motivate folks on canes, walkers and wheelchairs. But anyone can jump in! Starting a series on caregiving this week.
@@PinkandPossible that sounds great. I've just subscribed. We're currently 'occasional' full time carers for a 92 year old relative and it definitely has its challenges.

@@BevThorogoodyes. Spotify took over. Same as my channel here. life in the Wylde West….same as my blog😂 at least I’m consistent in my “brand”
Your brother sent you. I will have a look at your videos, but don't give up on life, because of youtube.
Hi Martin. Thank you 🙏

What a fun podcast, btw! You are RIGHT; if we survived the '70s, '80s, and '90s, we have stories to tell! 😂
I’m actually so glad I’ve found so many Gen X channels. The universe takes us in some strange directions to get us where we want to be 🤣
