I love you so much, I'm your fan but I have to study! Aw, I still smoke and I have DDA but I be more better watching your videos of ASMR and I love everything you do. I had a badly divorce and I was alone and depressed but I'm okay now. I love you so so much! ( No Hate ) 😔👍
Spot on Maria about the analytics and who is watching kids on YT and the internet. This is something that more ppl should speak about.... very scary!!! You are so bright and caring... have enjoyed listening to you for years.. ty!
I’m so sorry that it has to come to taking the videos down. That sh*t make me so mad! It’s crazy how these creeps find ways to violate your space... thank you for the time they were up! Appreciated the laughter and joy you all had and shared with us ❣️
When she said "things scare me" that's a red flag on whose been watching them, and for how long. Being proactive in protecting your family especially as a TH-cam star, and a social media mogul, is a must. You truly are the ASMR queen. Be safe, be blessed.
This might sound weird but I mean it as the biggest compliment ever: I realised watching this video that Maria has the same kind of grace and compassion as Princess Diana. So valuable and rare!
As a mother I absolutely loved your family vlogs and miss them a lot. It so sad you had to remove them. I 100% respect and understand your decision though it’s sad there are those kind of people in the world.
Oh my goodness! The part about the family Vlogs 😱 I catch your drift and omg I didn't even think about the creeps out there 😡 protect yourself and your family, mama! We love the Vlogs but your safety and comfort is most important! **virtual hugggsss**
@@miarose8239 I can't speak to the specific things she's observed necessarily, but suffice it to say there are creeps/dangerous people out there, especially when videos include small children 😡
lollllll I have literally never wanted to sky dive but.....as someone who wears contacts and glasses this has convinced me I definitely never want to 😂
When you answered Christina’s question it felt so genuine, human, and empathetic. It felt real and although I’ve never been through something like that your kindness shines bright
I've always struggled with accepting love from anyone, like it's not something natural for me, but the way this woman approaches every question so dearly and genuinely feels for each person makes me feel so safe and warm inside
Maria, I fully respect the decision to take down the family videos. I 1,000,000,000% support your decision, you need to protect your daughter at all costs. You are a good mom, you love little Mila, and I totally get it. We all understand.
I swear I gain 20 IQ points every time I watch one of your sit-down-and-chat/ reflection videos! I love the way your mind works, and how well you're able to articulate your thoughts. You've been so open throughout the years about having had a difficult time in school, but as someone who always found school to be very easy and thought grades = intelligence for a long time, I just have to say... I LOVE how you think, and you have added so much value to my life by sharing your insight with us over the years ❤️I'm 27 now, but started watching your videos when I was 19, and I truly believe you've helped change the way I think for the better. THAT cannot be taught in school 😉and I appreciate you so much.
I think you should protect your family at all costs. The internet is a scary place so if it makes you feel safer not to share your family vlogs, don't do it. We support you either way!
You're wise woman. I think your honesty, especially considering motherhood, anxiety etc. can help many people. Your ASMR helps a lot, obiously, but you just being yourself, with your struggles is everything. You're great. Thank you for both of your channels. Greetings from Warsaw!
I think the way you guys are raising Mila is wonderful - you clearly think about her and consider the best ways for her to develop and achieve her fullest potential, and that takes time and selflessness. Not all parents/adults are so dedicated and rather ask the children to accommodate to all their norms/attitudes. I remember you explainin long time ago how you let Mila help you prepare the meals even though it would take longer and things would be messier, but it would give her a sense of pride and importance, and she would be more eager to eat as well :) You should be proud!
It has been such a gift to get to know you over the past 9 or 10 years! I cannot believe it has been that long. You have brought so much peace to so many lives, and I appreciate you for all that you are. I feel like we are so similar. It would be awesome to meet you someday! Love you, Maria!
You definitely are the big sister to the ASMR community!! It’s so cool to think you really started something that almost the entire WORLD has adopted. Simply amazing
I saw a cooment under one of your family vlogs warning you about putting your daughter in front of the camera in a diaper, and I thought, wow, people always have something to complain, its just a child! But it pains me, that you have seen that your videos have been abused, which I suppose is what you meant to say.. I am horrified and can not begin to imagine how that feels for you as parents.
14:00 wow I’m so sorry to hear that. I think about the family channels that do full time vlogs and it really is scary. It’s important that we protect our children.
you’re the first asmrtist i discovered like 6 years ago and you always help me recenter, calm down, rest, and enjoy the little things in life. sending you ALL THE LOVE 💗💗💗💗
My eyes got teary when I heard the family vlogs. I’m A new mom of twins and that just mortified me. Can definitely relate to when people say they go into “mama bear mode” and wanting to protect their kids. So sorry that’s even an issue. Sending hugs. Xoxo
It absolutely amazes me how beautiful your soul is. Every time. Sometimes I cry a little just because your kindness is so beautiful. Masha, you deserve only the best things in life and I wish you to have them all. Thank you.
Motherhood was the biggest challenge for me. I'm in love with my daughter who is almost 2, but wow, it was a huge struggle in the beginning. A support system is the biggest thing that can help. 💜
Omg Maria talking about how happy she was to get divorced reminds me of those photos of Nicole Kidman smiling with her arms spread out in the sun after she divorced Tom Cruise 😆
Every time I hear someone is getting divorced or is divorced recently I congratulate them! I'm sure some look at me weird but normally its not a good situation they were in anyway
I first discovered you when my almost 7 year old was a little baby. I was feeling every way but normal, my narcolepsy symptoms started to become unmanageable, and you helped me through that rough time. Now my son crawls in to bed with me when he has a hard time sleeping and asks if we can listen to the blonde lady who whispers. I truly think he listened to you so much as a baby that you are his comfort now. It’s just subconscious for him. So now we plan “sleepovers” when Dad is on nights. We set up the pillows comfy in my bed and we prop up the phone and he picks one of your videos. I love when he says “this part makes my forehead feel mushy.” He gets the tingles just like me and it’s wonderful to see life come full circle for us, and you have a major part in that!
I love her sweet personality also when she makes her ""sassy answer or sassy talks"" I love her realness. This woman is an inspiration😍 I'm so thankful she chose to give us a tiny bit of her life to us with her asmr channel and with on this channel
Jesus, postpartum depression is SO real. I am not a mom but have witnessed all my friends suffer and I will forever be there to empathize and support them through it ALL because I can not imagine my body doing ANY of that.
Please make more videos like this! I’ve been neglecting cleaning my apartment for two months but today I put this video on while I got to work!!! I’ve done so much cleaning so far. Thank you 🥰
Maria, the connection you have through the camera is one of the strongest connections I have ever seen from a TH-camr. It literally feels like I'm just catching up with a good friend! You are such a beautiful soul ❤️
i loveeeed part 1 and 2, i think you should do more in the future. you’re such an amazing person and you can really see how genuine and sweet you are. I see you as like another mother but also a big sister at the same time. Love you and all your videos Maria!❤️
I think that's one of the best things I've heard anyone teach their child, especially good for a daughter and it's adorable - Mila calling out 'adventures!' in russian - she is a lucky, lucky girl. I'm going to adopt it too, in russian as it sounds more adventurous :D
Maria, you have this incredible gift of making people feel like you're looking at them right in the eye over coffee and truly listening, feeling, and empathizing with them. Thank you for that, I love you and all of your content!
Wow. Everytime I see one of these where you share your perspectives on things, am struck by how wise and intelligent you are... I say both because I think of wisdom as more of a spiritual or insightful quality, and intelligence as more applied knowledge one has sought and acquired proactively. So as for the wisdom aspect, I guess it feels like you’re an old soul as they say. Like it’s so layered as to give the feeling that it’s from many lifetimes of experience, and I love that you use it so effectively in your desire to be supportive of others - while remaining very forthright and realistic in that support. It’s very touching and liberating for people I think... At least that’s how I perceive it. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your viewers.
I just adore you, Maria. I will definitely not wear my glasses if I should go sky diving.😉 Your genuine concern and loving sincerity towards us touches my heart so deeply. You are such a special lady. Love ya💜💜
Yeah, it's pretty disturbing that some people would see the videos in some way that they were definitely not intended. I read between the lines and as a mom, I bet Maria is trying to keep Mila safe.
For Cristina who asked when she would start feeling like herself again after giving birth… Maria you gave beautiful, amazing advice! You hit the nail on the head. It is a new season of life and it’s weird to be so different and happy about it but also mourning the freedom of your past
As a fellow mum to a 2 year old it calms me to know that all mums have the same struggles with emotions... never alone! I literally love your life tips and thought processes in difficult times... thank you for these videos! ❤️
Maria...it has been an honor to have seen you grow on your channel and as a person all these years. I remember those tough times during some of your early vlogs about your divorce/ex and to know you are soo much happier and you look and feel it too, it just makes me so happy for you. Literally you are glowing and your genuine personality is infectious to watch. Thank you for being a positive light in the Asmr community. You are loved. ❤️❤️❤️
It makes me really sad that you felt the need to delete your family blogs because of others. I totally support you in making the decision to protect your family, I also admire you taking a drastic step to keep you and your family safe, I’m sure deleting those was hard. It sucks that we live in a world where this is even an issue...I hope things are well! I’ve watched you for almost ten years. Lots of love. ♥️
Thank you for your honest, integrity, and respect Maria!!!!!! Ever since I found you I fell madly in love with ASMR. Of course, you being the source of this love. Your demeanor and calmness, your voice and magical hand gestures. I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it! I value your challenges and struggles because that’s what made you who you are today. You have made a life that is perfect because of these imperfections and you share this with us. We are so blessed! I want to see more of the family, but I too am familiar with man’s depravity and you need to put your family’s safety first. Always. I will 100% support you, and I hope one day to run into you and maybe have a chat. Or a glass of wine 🤪 I think that would make my life 😍 you are kind, generous, talented, and obviously special. If the creator of the world or higher power could do one more thing right, it would make another you! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Masha. Have a superb day xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love how you can talk about difficult things while staying so grounded. This video brought me comfort and I really think of you as my friend. It’s so nice to see you being so happy at this time in your life. Alice
I think your advice about finding your path career-wise is excellent. Growing up, I was extremely poor. I lived in a very small town with no opportunities, and even though I had a loving mother, there was a lot of abuse from other sources in my life. All I wanted was to get out. I got excellent grades and moved away at 18 to go to university. But unfortunately, I lost myself along the way. All I could think about up until that point was surviving; I never stopped to think about what I would do afterwards. To this day, I still struggle with the question "what do you want out of life?" and I just turned 30. But narrowing down what I DON'T want has helped a lot. I don't want to go back to living in poverty. I don't want to work at a job that will take advantage of me. I don't want to sacrifice my creativity if I can help it. I'm certainly not working at my dream job, and I feel like I have a lot of growing left to do, but whenever I'm stuck thinking "what do I want?", I'm becoming more comfortable not knowing the exact answer. Also, it was so heartwarming to hear about how happy you were when you finally took the step to get divorced from your ex. I totally understand not wanting to badmouth an ex partner, but I remember watching your videos during that time and I think we all noticed an immediate change when you became single. It's good for people to hear stories like this, and go realize that breaking up with someone or separating from a spouse isn't a failure, and it isn't the end of the world. That it can actually be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in your life.
I remember the one time you did a livestream and greeted me by telling me you recognized my "beautiful" eyes from many years in your comments. I felt like such a fangirl! lol It makes me so angry that you were made to feel unsafe about your family. Thank you for being you, Masha!
Maria, you just have such beautiful insight!! I'd love if you did these videos often! They're like big-sister-sassy-Masha and they're amazing!! Thank you for sowing into our lives 💛
You talking about magic and adventure reminded me of whispers of the heart, a ghibli movie, that made me travel back to my childhood and when I saw magic in every corner! Is so important to have that in life! Especially for children but for adults to! Thank you for that! ❤️🥰
Hi Maria!! I asked the favorite meal question!!! I tried your spaghetti squash recipe years ago and that has been one of my favorites (no one else likes squash in my house so I make both halves for me lol) I love these videos, it’s so nice to hear from you in a relaxed “off the cuff” way!
It’s amazing to see all this wisdom you’ve acquired these past few years. As someone who’s just entering adulthood, it’s really nice to hear your assuring words and advice. Hugs 🤗💕
I know you didn't want to go into too much detail about the analytics thing, but I think most people know what you meant. You have to protect your child, your family, yourself. It's a crazy world for sure. It makes me sick that things make it necessary for people to hide or remove things online. When a man I didn't know on Facebook and didn't have any mutual friends with randomly liked a picture of my daughter and nothing else, I knew it was time to make everything friends only or private.
Damn that's so creepy about your daughter's picture. There's a lot of sketchy people on social media. I have both my Instagram and Twitter private I'm pretty sure... just minimizes the online encounters I have with those who may have bad intentions.
If she only said "in order to protect my daughter, i was forced to take down any and all videos of her", thats all she needed to say in my eyes. No further details needed. I appreciate her expaining things somewhat, but hey - I back her and Darryl before God and man on the decision to take the videos down. God only knows what pervies might have been watching. I am glad she is keeping Mila safe and peotected. Maria is a damn good momma.
@@fionarhiannonpitbullextrao5786 Yeah, she's definitely very protective "mama bear." The way she looks at Mila with such love in her eyes puts a smile to my face. There's definitely some sick people out there. I believe in that if you see something, , you should say something, whether it is your own or someone else's child.
@@SurrealisticSlumbers amen and amen. Children are so important and MUST be protected. i don't have kids of my own, but i have alot of nieces and nephews, and friends wirh kids. i am close with these kids and want them all safe. i would protect these kids with my life no matter how old they are.
That question from Christina, I’m right there with you. Maria, you answered the question so well. Becoming a mother/parent is brutal and beautiful. It is so hard, no getting around that. You’re going to be okay (speaking to myself here too). Bless you, sis. Love you, Maria! ♥️♥️♥️
So sad and enraging about having to take your family videos down. It was a joy to see all the adventures you had when your parents came to visit, and beautiful to see Mila explore the world. My favorite was the one where she sorted eggs at the end, real mother-daughter stuff and I marveled at her hand-eye coordination. A shame that it's not safe to share happiness with the world at large, when you set such a good example of what family life could be. But I get it and support you in it, and feel privileged to have been able to see them when they were up.
That whole segment leading to @12:50.. thank you! I will try to apply that cause like you said I too can be an A hole to the people around me. Thank you. ♥️
I really appreciate you so so much.I feel in the way you talk that you want to show other people that have anxiety, fears etc. that you have too and is perfectly normal and this makes us humans..and the parts where you speak about motherhood and life with a toddler..as a mother of a suuuper energic toddler of 2 years and 4 months I soooo feel the exactly same way about everyting you said...I really wish you all the best, because you can see it in the way you talk that you have such a beautiful mind, and it feels like you are also very fragile...Hoping someday to have a friend like you.
Maria! 🤗 first there must be someone else out there called love today ASMR, i am beyond humbled that you watch my vids ever. I owe a large number of my followers to you my dear friend! From the time you gave me a shout out years ago! 🤗 thank you That is my favorite thing about the ASMR community! Everyone loves to raise each other up! We love to see others succeed and admire each other’s work. You were the first ASMRtist I ever watched and you are my all time TH-cam bestie. ASMR has come such a long way and seeing it become mainstream has been such a blessing for us. Thank you for being a trail blazer! I will always regard you in high esteem. You have been with me through some tough times, and one day in Heaven you’ll know all of the good you put into the world. In the meantime know that the work you do is soooo GOOD, pure, and it brings faith, hope and love into the world. Thank you angel, ♥️🤗
2 VIDEOS?!?! Well aren’t we all just so spoiled! Thank you Maria! The other night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
Maria what you mentioned about your family vlogs and the analytics pisses me off so much! I am shocked. You are doing the right thing I think, although I loved your vlogs I totally respect and understand your decision to take them down.
What a smart lady you are, I wish somebody could have advised me about having a child and feelings etc like you did just then, life would have been so much easier, for me life has gone by and I muddled thru, but know that this Vlog would help so many young mothers who are struggling. I am so sad that because of a few sick individuals the rest of us can't watch Mila grow... but you must keep her safe so we understand ... it's just a damn shame that there are such individuals in the world!
Maria, you have such a great way with words. I have found lately that it is more exhausting to be angry and have other negatives emotions than to just let it go. Especially if it's something that is small and insignificant. You are right about your emotions influencing other people's emotions. And it's just a big domino effect. And I'm tired of being tired, so I just am slowly learning to let the little things go. At least things I can't control. I feel more calm and content that way. It doesnt always work, and it is okay to have a bad day or feel negative emotions cause it's natural and we're human of course. But to feel it for a brief moment, and then letting it go, is so freeing. As they say, it is what it is. Xoxo Thank you for your wisdom. ❤
Just to add to what you were saying to Christina, this is so true. Motherhood is a wallop in the face and it can feel so overwhelming. But then as your kids get older, all those expectations you had of the FUNNESS and JOY of having kids, happens! When you're through the tricky toddler stages and the relentlessness of parenting small kids... age 6-7 plus kids are brilliant! I mean, you obviously will feel this before 6-7 years! But as they get older and more independent the balance between it being hard work and fun/amazing tips way more in favour of fun and amazing. We are sold a lie that motherhood is fulfulling and joyous as if there are no other sides to it. This needs to stop. Motherhood is beautiful and amazing but it's really, really hard and will challenge you to your core. Xxx
I changed when I hadthe baby. Eventually you realise you arent going back. And the positive things if you create them make you proud of the wonderful person you are becoming. My son is a teenager now and I can see I could go back to who I was but being a mom makes you a better person hopefully and it's better, why go back?? Evolving might be foreign or uncomfortable but hallelujah it's a blessing.
Thank you for being honest and validating that it’s ok to not always LOVE or enjoy parenthood. I think a lot of people find it so taboo when parents talk about wanting a break or not always wanting to be around their children. Parenthood is so hard, but very rewarding as you mentioned. Mama of 3 boys here and I miss me sometimes!
it's so comforting to hear how you speak about early motherhood. as a deeply emotional and sensitive person, I'm very nervous/afraid of having kids and how that will absolutely mess with my head/emotions, and I feel like I never hear anyone discuss that so I just deduce that parenthood is not for me or is just going to be inordinately hard for me. hearing you speak of it this way is so real and not sugar coated and when I do decide to have kids, I know I will never forget your words
I love you! I’ve been watching you for about 8 years now, you were my first asmrtist discovery and you are the best. Wish we could meet someday! Thanks for all you do 🥰
Where you spoke on anxiety I resonate so deeply, my asmr videos are a creative outlet, I call it conjure because I conjure up a very peaceful calm part of myself. In real life I too am anxious and bubbly and can be quite hyper.
You're truly a very strong and amazing woman. Please do a video on how you managed to live life, financially more specifically, once you started living alone post divorce. Thank you for your great vlogs!

Spot on Maria about the analytics and who is watching kids on YT and the internet. This is something that more ppl should speak about.... very scary!!! You are so bright and caring... have enjoyed listening to you for years.. ty!
I totally understand with the family videos, MANY people have said the same thing. Creeps. Anywho- I hope you still take videos for yourselves!
I’m so sorry that it has to come to taking the videos down. That sh*t make me so mad! It’s crazy how these creeps find ways to violate your space... thank you for the time they were up! Appreciated the laughter and joy you all had and shared with us ❣️
Made me sick to my stomach at the thought. Humans can be so vile
I agree 100% Emma Evolve!
Well said. As she was talking about that, I felt my hackles go up. Just pure primordial mom-rage.
I completely agree nothing is sacred anymore or respected makes me sick that there are people out there who are so gross
agreed. I never knew the analytics went that in depth!
Maria your advice and genuine empathy for that woman who asked about how long it takes to get back to normal after having a baby was PERFECT.
Agreed 100% ❤️
Yes! So perfectly put. The new season of life really got me.
I FELT it 🥰
I was thinking the exact same thing, I welled up at that part for sure
I cried
When she said "things scare me" that's a red flag on whose been watching them, and for how long. Being proactive in protecting your family especially as a TH-cam star, and a social media mogul, is a must. You truly are the ASMR queen. Be safe, be blessed.
This might sound weird but I mean it as the biggest compliment ever: I realised watching this video that Maria has the same kind of grace and compassion as Princess Diana. So valuable and rare!
wow, I agree.
Both Cancers! ♋️

This is crazy. I just thought about it, exited the full screen mode and saw your comment!
As a mother I absolutely loved your family vlogs and miss them a lot. It so sad you had to remove them. I 100% respect and understand your decision though it’s sad there are those kind of people in the world.
is she talking about p*dos? sorry im just confused:( thats so gross
@@mg-zh3vw most likely
totally agreed
@@moldybongwater_ thats so disgusting and disappointing 😔
I didn’t know she had family vlogs x
I totally understand taking down the family vlogs. Scary to think of all the daily family vloggers exploiting their kids and knowing their analytics.
Oh my goodness! The part about the family Vlogs 😱 I catch your drift and omg I didn't even think about the creeps out there 😡 protect yourself and your family, mama! We love the Vlogs but your safety and comfort is most important! **virtual hugggsss**

How sad that is.. wow I dont blame her one bit. We live in a sick world unfortunately .
I caught what she was saying... I was horrified :(
lollllll I have literally never wanted to sky dive but.....as someone who wears contacts and glasses this has convinced me I definitely never want to 😂
I agree 😂
I jumped in contacts with no problems!
Hahaha! Same
I jumped in contacts with zero issues. Glasses would be bad, I'm sure
I'm not pregnant, have no kids - why do i feel so comforted from Maria's answer to Christina? 😅
Same!! 😂❤️
When you answered Christina’s question it felt so genuine, human, and empathetic. It felt real and although I’ve never been through something like that your kindness shines bright
I've always struggled with accepting love from anyone, like it's not something natural for me, but the way this woman approaches every question so dearly and genuinely feels for each person makes me feel so safe and warm inside
Maria, I fully respect the decision to take down the family videos. I 1,000,000,000% support your decision, you need to protect your daughter at all costs. You are a good mom, you love little Mila, and I totally get it. We all understand.
10000000%
I swear I gain 20 IQ points every time I watch one of your sit-down-and-chat/ reflection videos! I love the way your mind works, and how well you're able to articulate your thoughts. You've been so open throughout the years about having had a difficult time in school, but as someone who always found school to be very easy and thought grades = intelligence for a long time, I just have to say... I LOVE how you think, and you have added so much value to my life by sharing your insight with us over the years ❤️I'm 27 now, but started watching your videos when I was 19, and I truly believe you've helped change the way I think for the better. THAT cannot be taught in school 😉and I appreciate you so much.
Such a beautiful comment
I'm in the exact boat, 10 years watching and I reflect on SO many things she said in her past/advice she's given so often. I am so very fond of Maria.
I think you should protect your family at all costs. The internet is a scary place so if it makes you feel safer not to share your family vlogs, don't do it. We support you either way!
You're wise woman. I think your honesty, especially considering motherhood, anxiety etc. can help many people. Your ASMR helps a lot, obiously, but you just being yourself, with your struggles is everything. You're great. Thank you for both of your channels. Greetings from Warsaw!
This is soo true! These videos inspire me so much!
I think the way you guys are raising Mila is wonderful - you clearly think about her and consider the best ways for her to develop and achieve her fullest potential, and that takes time and selflessness. Not all parents/adults are so dedicated and rather ask the children to accommodate to all their norms/attitudes. I remember you explainin long time ago how you let Mila help you prepare the meals even though it would take longer and things would be messier, but it would give her a sense of pride and importance, and she would be more eager to eat as well :) You should be proud!
Agreed! I'm expecting my first child and I hope to be as good a mom as Maria. I truly am in awe of their little family.
Part two ALREADY?? We are SPOILED ROTTEN omg!!!
i know righttttttt

Listening to you speak feels like talking to a friend. Thank you for being so careful in the way you speak and the words you choose.
It has been such a gift to get to know you over the past 9 or 10 years! I cannot believe it has been that long. You have brought so much peace to so many lives, and I appreciate you for all that you are. I feel like we are so similar. It would be awesome to meet you someday! Love you, Maria!
Truer words have never been spoken! She is such a gem!
A 25 min video on my 30 min lunch????? The stars have aligned 😭😭 im genuinely so happy 😭💕💕
You definitely are the big sister to the ASMR community!! It’s so cool to think you really started something that almost the entire WORLD has adopted. Simply amazing
I saw a cooment under one of your family vlogs warning you about putting your daughter in front of the camera in a diaper, and I thought, wow, people always have something to complain, its just a child! But it pains me, that you have seen that your videos have been abused, which I suppose is what you meant to say.. I am horrified and can not begin to imagine how that feels for you as parents.
what happened?
@@user-kz7ly2nb5b i hate humanity
14:00 wow I’m so sorry to hear that. I think about the family channels that do full time vlogs and it really is scary. It’s important that we protect our children.
OMG PART TWO 2 DAYS LATER?! 🥳 This momma is ready for baby’s nap time lmfao
you’re the first asmrtist i discovered like 6 years ago and you always help me recenter, calm down, rest, and enjoy the little things in life. sending you ALL THE LOVE 💗💗💗💗
My eyes got teary when I heard the family vlogs. I’m A new mom of twins and that just mortified me. Can definitely relate to when people say they go into “mama bear mode” and wanting to protect their kids. So sorry that’s even an issue. Sending hugs. Xoxo
It absolutely amazes me how beautiful your soul is. Every time. Sometimes I cry a little just because your kindness is so beautiful.
Masha, you deserve only the best things in life and I wish you to have them all. Thank you.
i love your comment sections, you’ve created such a positive and supportive little corner of the internet
Motherhood was the biggest challenge for me. I'm in love with my daughter who is almost 2, but wow, it was a huge struggle in the beginning. A support system is the biggest thing that can help. 💜
Omg Maria talking about how happy she was to get divorced reminds me of those photos of Nicole Kidman smiling with her arms spread out in the sun after she divorced Tom Cruise 😆
Every time I hear someone is getting divorced or is divorced recently I congratulate them! I'm sure some look at me weird but normally its not a good situation they were in anyway
they were married?
@@opeth7021 Yes they were! The 90s were an interesting decade lol
@@mariesabine2385 i wish i was a 90's kid haha
I was thinking of those same photos!
I first discovered you when my almost 7 year old was a little baby. I was feeling every way but normal, my narcolepsy symptoms started to become unmanageable, and you helped me through that rough time. Now my son crawls in to bed with me when he has a hard time sleeping and asks if we can listen to the blonde lady who whispers. I truly think he listened to you so much as a baby that you are his comfort now. It’s just subconscious for him. So now we plan “sleepovers” when Dad is on nights. We set up the pillows comfy in my bed and we prop up the phone and he picks one of your videos. I love when he says “this part makes my forehead feel mushy.” He gets the tingles just like me and it’s wonderful to see life come full circle for us, and you have a major part in that!
two sasha masha vids in a few days, I’m living my best life
ASMR has been such an integral part of my mental health, especially in the pandemic. Thank you so much for all you do! :)
I love her sweet personality also when she makes her ""sassy answer or sassy talks"" I love her realness. This woman is an inspiration😍
I'm so thankful she chose to give us a tiny bit of her life to us with her asmr channel and with on this channel
I LOVE these videos. They still have triggers even though it’s not specifically an ASMR video! You’re my fave ASMRtist! Keep up the great work!!!
Jesus, postpartum depression is SO real. I am not a mom but have witnessed all my friends suffer and I will forever be there to empathize and support them through it ALL because I can not imagine my body doing ANY of that.
Please make more videos like this! I’ve been neglecting cleaning my apartment for two months but today I put this video on while I got to work!!! I’ve done so much cleaning so far. Thank you 🥰
Maria, the connection you have through the camera is one of the strongest connections I have ever seen from a TH-camr. It literally feels like I'm just catching up with a good friend! You are such a beautiful soul ❤️
As a mother, I know exactly what you meant by the family vlog things. I do miss seeing little Mila do things though! She is so cute and so smart ❤️
Ugh I truly love these sit down chatty videos. It’s still so relaxing to watch. Maria your such a light 🤗🍀🤎
i loveeeed part 1 and 2, i think you should do more in the future. you’re such an amazing person and you can really see how genuine and sweet you are. I see you as like another mother but also a big sister at the same time. Love you and all your videos Maria!❤️
Maria, I can feel your empathy and love through the screen 💕✨ thank you for this
I think that's one of the best things I've heard anyone teach their child, especially good for a daughter and it's adorable - Mila calling out 'adventures!' in russian - she is a lucky, lucky girl. I'm going to adopt it too, in russian as it sounds more adventurous :D
ur so comforting it’s unreal. u might as well be my second mom💖
Maria, you have this incredible gift of making people feel like you're looking at them right in the eye over coffee and truly listening, feeling, and empathizing with them. Thank you for that, I love you and all of your content!
Wow. Everytime I see one of these where you share your perspectives on things, am struck by how wise and intelligent you are... I say both because I think of wisdom as more of a spiritual or insightful quality, and intelligence as more applied knowledge one has sought and acquired proactively. So as for the wisdom aspect, I guess it feels like you’re an old soul as they say. Like it’s so layered as to give the feeling that it’s from many lifetimes of experience, and I love that you use it so effectively in your desire to be supportive of others - while remaining very forthright and realistic in that support. It’s very touching and liberating for people I think... At least that’s how I perceive it. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your viewers.
It's so funny that you called yourself a big sister, I've always felt that way about you. ❤️
I just adore you, Maria. I will definitely not wear my glasses if I should go sky diving.😉 Your genuine concern and loving sincerity towards us touches my heart so deeply. You are such a special lady. Love ya💜💜
I love how these Q&A videos feel like a friendly conversation! 🥰
The family vlog part is heart breaking and scary to hear you talk about.
Yeah, it's pretty disturbing that some people would see the videos in some way that they were definitely not intended. I read between the lines and as a mom, I bet Maria is trying to keep Mila safe.
Maria, thank u so much for granting me relaxation for the past 7 years! I look forward to your videos more than anyone!
For Cristina who asked when she would start feeling like herself again after giving birth… Maria you gave beautiful, amazing advice! You hit the nail on the head. It is a new season of life and it’s weird to be so different and happy about it but also mourning the freedom of your past
As a fellow mum to a 2 year old it calms me to know that all mums have the same struggles with emotions... never alone! I literally love your life tips and thought processes in difficult times... thank you for these videos! ❤️
Maria...it has been an honor to have seen you grow on your channel and as a person all these years. I remember those tough times during some of your early vlogs about your divorce/ex and to know you are soo much happier and you look and feel it too, it just makes me so happy for you. Literally you are glowing and your genuine personality is infectious to watch. Thank you for being a positive light in the Asmr community. You are loved. ❤️❤️❤️
It makes me really sad that you felt the need to delete your family blogs because of others. I totally support you in making the decision to protect your family, I also admire you taking a drastic step to keep you and your family safe, I’m sure deleting those was hard. It sucks that we live in a world where this is even an issue...I hope things are well! I’ve watched you for almost ten years. Lots of love. ♥️
Thank you for your honest, integrity, and respect Maria!!!!!! Ever since I found you I fell madly in love with ASMR. Of course, you being the source of this love. Your demeanor and calmness, your voice and magical hand gestures. I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it! I value your challenges and struggles because that’s what made you who you are today. You have made a life that is perfect because of these imperfections and you share this with us. We are so blessed! I want to see more of the family, but I too am familiar with man’s depravity and you need to put your family’s safety first. Always. I will 100% support you, and I hope one day to run into you and maybe have a chat. Or a glass of wine 🤪 I think that would make my life 😍 you are kind, generous, talented, and obviously special. If the creator of the world or higher power could do one more thing right, it would make another you! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Masha. Have a superb day xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love how you can talk about difficult things while staying so grounded. This video brought me comfort and I really think of you as my friend. It’s so nice to see you being so happy at this time in your life. Alice
I think your advice about finding your path career-wise is excellent. Growing up, I was extremely poor. I lived in a very small town with no opportunities, and even though I had a loving mother, there was a lot of abuse from other sources in my life. All I wanted was to get out. I got excellent grades and moved away at 18 to go to university. But unfortunately, I lost myself along the way. All I could think about up until that point was surviving; I never stopped to think about what I would do afterwards. To this day, I still struggle with the question "what do you want out of life?" and I just turned 30. But narrowing down what I DON'T want has helped a lot. I don't want to go back to living in poverty. I don't want to work at a job that will take advantage of me. I don't want to sacrifice my creativity if I can help it. I'm certainly not working at my dream job, and I feel like I have a lot of growing left to do, but whenever I'm stuck thinking "what do I want?", I'm becoming more comfortable not knowing the exact answer.
Also, it was so heartwarming to hear about how happy you were when you finally took the step to get divorced from your ex. I totally understand not wanting to badmouth an ex partner, but I remember watching your videos during that time and I think we all noticed an immediate change when you became single. It's good for people to hear stories like this, and go realize that breaking up with someone or separating from a spouse isn't a failure, and it isn't the end of the world. That it can actually be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in your life.
Your regular speaking voice is so relaxing.
I cant stop laughing about the eyediving!! I also like wine in the morning ;-)) Been with you 8 years now; You really are like the sister I never had
I remember the one time you did a livestream and greeted me by telling me you recognized my "beautiful" eyes from many years in your comments. I felt like such a fangirl! lol
It makes me so angry that you were made to feel unsafe about your family.
Thank you for being you, Masha!
You are so real and wise, I really loved your answers and you're just such a wonderful human😊 💞
Maria, you just have such beautiful insight!! I'd love if you did these videos often! They're like big-sister-sassy-Masha and they're amazing!! Thank you for sowing into our lives 💛
You're like my secret safe space to go to. 💜
Yes!!
You talking about magic and adventure reminded me of whispers of the heart, a ghibli movie, that made me travel back to my childhood and when I saw magic in every corner! Is so important to have that in life! Especially for children but for adults to! Thank you for that! ❤️🥰
You helped me through my bachelor and now I'm writing the Master thesis listening to your videos. Love you
Two videos in two days? WE ARE BLESSED
Hi Maria!! I asked the favorite meal question!!! I tried your spaghetti squash recipe years ago and that has been one of my favorites (no one else likes squash in my house so I make both halves for me lol) I love these videos, it’s so nice to hear from you in a relaxed “off the cuff” way!
Ha! I started reading this right as Masha gave your question. How weird! lol
It’s amazing to see all this wisdom you’ve acquired these past few years. As someone who’s just entering adulthood, it’s really nice to hear your assuring words and advice. Hugs 🤗💕
I know you didn't want to go into too much detail about the analytics thing, but I think most people know what you meant. You have to protect your child, your family, yourself. It's a crazy world for sure. It makes me sick that things make it necessary for people to hide or remove things online. When a man I didn't know on Facebook and didn't have any mutual friends with randomly liked a picture of my daughter and nothing else, I knew it was time to make everything friends only or private.
Damn that's so creepy about your daughter's picture. There's a lot of sketchy people on social media. I have both my Instagram and Twitter private I'm pretty sure... just minimizes the online encounters I have with those who may have bad intentions.
If she only said "in order to protect my daughter, i was forced to take down any and all videos of her", thats all she needed to say in my eyes. No further details needed. I appreciate her expaining things somewhat, but hey - I back her and Darryl before God and man on the decision to take the videos down. God only knows what pervies might have been watching. I am glad she is keeping Mila safe and peotected. Maria is a damn good momma.
@@fionarhiannonpitbullextrao5786 Yeah, she's definitely very protective "mama bear." The way she looks at Mila with such love in her eyes puts a smile to my face. There's definitely some sick people out there. I believe in that if you see something, , you should say something, whether it is your own or someone else's child.
@@SurrealisticSlumbers amen and amen. Children are so important and MUST be protected. i don't have kids of my own, but i have alot of nieces and nephews, and friends wirh kids. i am close with these kids and want them all safe. i would protect these kids with my life no matter how old they are.
That question from Christina, I’m right there with you. Maria, you answered the question so well. Becoming a mother/parent is brutal and beautiful. It is so hard, no getting around that. You’re going to be okay (speaking to myself here too). Bless you, sis. Love you, Maria! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing, Maria! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Kirsten Dunst? She’s my favorite actress, and you’re my favorite ASMRtist!
Wow I’ve never thought that but she really does!
So sad and enraging about having to take your family videos down. It was a joy to see all the adventures you had when your parents came to visit, and beautiful to see Mila explore the world. My favorite was the one where she sorted eggs at the end, real mother-daughter stuff and I marveled at her hand-eye coordination. A shame that it's not safe to share happiness with the world at large, when you set such a good example of what family life could be. But I get it and support you in it, and feel privileged to have been able to see them when they were up.
That whole segment leading to @12:50.. thank you! I will try to apply that cause like you said I too can be an A hole to the people around me. Thank you. ♥️
That’s a great and humble attitude. ❤️ Very rare to see that on here.
@@MyNameisMessenger 🤗 🤗
I could watch a two hour long video of you just talking. I love your voice. Thank you so much for the beautiful videos
I really appreciate you so so much.I feel in the way you talk that you want to show other people that have anxiety, fears etc. that you have too and is perfectly normal and this makes us humans..and the parts where you speak about motherhood and life with a toddler..as a mother of a suuuper energic toddler of 2 years and 4 months I soooo feel the exactly same way about everyting you said...I really wish you all the best, because you can see it in the way you talk that you have such a beautiful mind, and it feels like you are also very fragile...Hoping someday to have a friend like you.
Honesty, integrity, empathy this lady has it all
Maria! 🤗 first there must be someone else out there called love today ASMR, i am beyond humbled that you watch my vids ever. I owe a large number of my followers to you my dear friend! From the time you gave me a shout out years ago! 🤗 thank you
That is my favorite thing about the ASMR community! Everyone loves to raise each other up! We love to see others succeed and admire each other’s work.
You were the first ASMRtist I ever watched and you are my all time TH-cam bestie.
ASMR has come such a long way and seeing it become mainstream has been such a blessing for us.
Thank you for being a trail blazer! I will always regard you in high esteem. You have been with me through some tough times, and one day in Heaven you’ll know all of the good you put into the world. In the meantime know that the work you do is soooo GOOD, pure, and it brings faith, hope and love into the world.
Thank you angel, ♥️🤗
I feel like I’m sitting down with a friend, getting advice and just hearing about life. Thanks Maria for helping me feel less alone tonight. ❤️
2 VIDEOS?!?! Well aren’t we all just so spoiled! Thank you Maria! The other night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
she’s so comforting
Maria what you mentioned about your family vlogs and the analytics pisses me off so much! I am shocked. You are doing the right thing I think, although I loved your vlogs I totally respect and understand your decision to take them down.
What a smart lady you are, I wish somebody could have advised me about having a child and feelings etc like you did just then, life would have been so much easier, for me life has gone by and I muddled thru, but know that this Vlog would help so many young mothers who are struggling.
I am so sad that because of a few sick individuals the rest of us can't watch Mila grow... but you must keep her safe so we understand ... it's just a damn shame that there are such individuals in the world!
Maria, you have such a great way with words. I have found lately that it is more exhausting to be angry and have other negatives emotions than to just let it go. Especially if it's something that is small and insignificant. You are right about your emotions influencing other people's emotions. And it's just a big domino effect. And I'm tired of being tired, so I just am slowly learning to let the little things go. At least things I can't control. I feel more calm and content that way. It doesnt always work, and it is okay to have a bad day or feel negative emotions cause it's natural and we're human of course. But to feel it for a brief moment, and then letting it go, is so freeing. As they say, it is what it is. Xoxo Thank you for your wisdom. ❤
Just to add to what you were saying to Christina, this is so true. Motherhood is a wallop in the face and it can feel so overwhelming. But then as your kids get older, all those expectations you had of the FUNNESS and JOY of having kids, happens! When you're through the tricky toddler stages and the relentlessness of parenting small kids... age 6-7 plus kids are brilliant! I mean, you obviously will feel this before 6-7 years! But as they get older and more independent the balance between it being hard work and fun/amazing tips way more in favour of fun and amazing. We are sold a lie that motherhood is fulfulling and joyous as if there are no other sides to it. This needs to stop. Motherhood is beautiful and amazing but it's really, really hard and will challenge you to your core. Xxx
I changed when I hadthe baby. Eventually you realise you arent going back.
And the positive things if you create them make you proud of the wonderful person you are becoming.
My son is a teenager now and I can see I could go back to who I was but being a mom makes you a better person hopefully and it's better, why go back??
Evolving might be foreign or uncomfortable but hallelujah it's a blessing.
Thank you for being honest and validating that it’s ok to not always LOVE or enjoy parenthood. I think a lot of people find it so taboo when parents talk about wanting a break or not always wanting to be around their children. Parenthood is so hard, but very rewarding as you mentioned. Mama of 3 boys here and I miss me sometimes!
it's so comforting to hear how you speak about early motherhood. as a deeply emotional and sensitive person, I'm very nervous/afraid of having kids and how that will absolutely mess with my head/emotions, and I feel like I never hear anyone discuss that so I just deduce that parenthood is not for me or is just going to be inordinately hard for me. hearing you speak of it this way is so real and not sugar coated and when I do decide to have kids, I know I will never forget your words
I love you! I’ve been watching you for about 8 years now, you were my first asmrtist discovery and you are the best. Wish we could meet someday! Thanks for all you do 🥰
I clicked so fast my phone fell on my face. Nevermind it was worth it 🙌🏻😍
Not even 2 minutes in and already giggling and smiling with you! ❤️❤️
literally never been this early! maria you literally make my days feel happy and bright. thank you for all you do and we all love you.
Omg you in your dp look almost exactly like a Pakistani celebrity named Hania Amir, check her out!
Where you spoke on anxiety I resonate so deeply, my asmr videos are a creative outlet, I call it conjure because I conjure up a very peaceful calm part of myself. In real life I too am anxious and bubbly and can be quite hyper.
You're truly a very strong and amazing woman. Please do a video on how you managed to live life, financially more specifically, once you started living alone post divorce. Thank you for your great vlogs!
You are so beautifully genuine, Maria ❤️
I love seeing the relaxed and I guess more “candid” Maria ❤️❤️
How are your non asmr vids still soooo soothing...I love them so much
Ewww now i understand why you took the family vids down 😳
