tk i really feel like views might be dropping just because people are busy with their own stuff and overwhelmed with school/work but it does not equate to your worth in any way! keep doing what you’re doing and good will come
People are dying, the world is being ripped appart and yall are worried about views dropping?! What? Yall affraid she can’t afford another bougie italy holiday? She will be fine, they will all be fine.
tk, i can't thank you enough for your vulnerability with the body image conversation. i have been struggling with the EXACT same thing, and hearing someone i admire talk about it is really inspiring and makes me feel not alone. you are beautiful inside and out and you add so much value to this world. i can't wait to see you host your own show one day. thank you again for being real. never forget that your power is in your authenticity. we love you xx
1. Praying Julia is ok overseas 2. Try to remember how much TH-cam has seriously grown even in a year. That’s ALL freaking you!! Also body image issues are completely normal, it makes me think of that mean girls scene where the plastics are saying what they hate about themselves…but they are all gorgeous. Like everyone has something. Keep on being you ❤️❤️❤️
This is so relatable! It’s like this internal battle of confidence and gratitude for life but then these little digs at ourselves about something we think doesn’t meet the ideal image of a woman. I fully relate and love that you shared this. Just know you’re stunning and worthy of everything good 🤍
Well done for being so vulnerable, this real side of you is not only inspiring but SO relatable. I think we all go through periods like this in our life, just remember you're not alone and PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING, me and my double chin love your videos
I seriously appreciate this conversation so much! Hearing you speak about confidence and comparison is so comforting because I’ve been experiencing such negative emotions with comparing to other people. You are amazing and so supportive of everyone! ❤
I love watching you for the everyday life type content, I love that you're not born and raised in LA/Cali you have such a different perspective than most influencers- you rock TK just upload you got this babe
Honestly thank you for sharing this because it's nice to hear that other people struggle with these things too. I've always had body/confidence issues so to hear you talk about it is refreshing.
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. I love that you are a non-cookie-cutter beauty. You don't look like anyone else in L.A. and it's refreshing. You have your own hotness going on.
i’ve been watching you for soooo long, same with remi and alisha and the reason i love you all so much is because i feel like you’re all real girls and really genuine. this is so real and i so feel like this and i hate looking at myself but you are so sweet and refreshing
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your struggles! I love that you’re able to recognize your privilege but don’t let yourself belittle your struggles all your feelings are valid ♥️ love and will always support you. You’re always so positive which I love but I loved hearing this side of things and hearing the hype up sesh
I always leave your videos inspired and uplifted, and hearing how you handle struggles and overcome internal challenges helps us so much more than we could ever express. You're also beyond fit and so athletic, which motivates me to want to become stronger and take better care of myself! You're the best TK, thank you for showing up and creating for us always!
Girl. I feel the same way as you!! Body image issues are never ending. Some days are good and some days are bad. Our bodies do so many good things for us outside of what they look like on the outside. I love you and thank for you being vulnerable and making me feel seen and heard
TKKKKKKKKK!!! from one dirty forker to another, you are gorgeous inside and out. I love watching your videos because I can tell you are such a genuine person. your always so kind to your friends and have such respect for them, you should be proud of yourself. Your feelings are absolutely valid but just know that the real ones watching are never judging how you look. Everything about your videos from the content to the editing is seriously so good and I look forward to watching your videos so much! your so talented. stay slaying xoxoxooxoxoo
I’ve been on TH-cam for 9 years. I started at 26 now I’m 35 and I definitely understand how you feel. How you feel is VERY normal. It’s one reason why I believe my videos were not as good as I wanted them to be… I hated watching myself so many times. One thing I would consider that a lot of ppl don’t, as you grow up, your audience grows up. The older ppl get the different things happen, kids, relationships, marriage, etc. I got married later in life so I felt my story got a little stagnant while other creators weren’t. And the older I got the less into creating I became - so I definitely declined in effort and mindset. But your content is great! We definitely watch you because of how dope of a person you are. Do it because you love it and it will open doors for you in the future. It’s just one of your streams of income. 💕 I pray this helps.
Omg I’m watching your video for the third time (not over and over in a row but I do rewatch just because I love you and your energy) and for some effed up reason I’m getting emotional for the first time because dude. I’m the same age as you but I have 2 going on 3 kids and I look up to you so hard because you’re authentic as frick and your work ethic is crazy. And you’re so fun lol. So I know everyone struggles even someone as hyped as you.. so I’m extra sad to know the way you feel about yourself. You’re a g TK and I just want to say I literally look for notifications of your videos because no matter what you’re posting, it’ll make my day better. Not even exaggerating. Hope you’re feeling better girl
TK, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with us. I think sometimes it’s hard to not compare yourself to others especially when you feel like you’re doing everything right.. I can def relate, but you’re perfect🫶🏻 slaaaay
I can't imagine watching myself on camera like this. I think I look pretty decent in person, but on camera it's just different. I completely get you. I know in the influencer space and entertainment, there's pressure to look perfect. I think you look fine the way you are. It's actually refreshing to see someone who hasn't had a bunch of work done, trying to chase perfection that doesn't exist. Those people will never be happy. I think the most important thing is that you are trying to be healthy and take care of your health.
TK!!!! Girl! I love you so much. Thank you for being so real and opening up to us about your insecurities. It’s reassuring to see someone like you struggle with things I am too. My skin is my BIGGEST insecurity. Literally starting meds next month for it. Your videos are such a good mix of feeling blah but also being the hype girl that you are. Keep it real sis! I’m here for you always and forever and will support no matter what. Hope you’re back on your journaling and manifesting shizz! Have a good day🩵✨
Thank you for being so open and honest TK!! You're always so inspiring to me and every time you upload content it makes me literally jump with excitement!! You're so awesome and you're killing the game. We love u so much!!!
Aw TK! Again, I truly admire your perspective!! You don’t understand how rare self awareness is, and it’s so refreshing! You’re beautiful, everyone has insecurities, the views will come back! 🫶🏼
We love you TK! Watching your videos always makes me so happy & you are such a positive influence on YT. This is so relatable so thank you. Can't wait to keep watching your content, you are the best
Taylor ur such a boss you rlly inspire me to be the best version of myself it was rlly nice hearing you rant and talk honestly about ur struggles we are all just doing our best and it's amazing! I love seeing u in this era where u get to bring ppl to such crazy cool events and seeing ur evolution
Hi TK, I watch every video but rarely comment, but I just wanted to say RE your body image issues: the people who consistently watch you I promise you never think twice about how you look. I know I’ve watched you since the very beginning of your channel and never once have I thought about your “jaw line” or anything negative. If anything I always think “wow she has great legs or wow she has a nice stomach you can tell she works out” and I hope that doesn’t come off as too picturesque either. What I’m trying to say is I promise as an outside we never think negatively about you ❤
Tk, I appreciate how honest and real you are with your audience. I feel like you have inspired me so much with sharing your struggles, it makes me realize we all go through ups and downs. PLEASEEE keep the TH-cam videos going! I absolutely love your videos and it sucks that your views are being affected! The reals ones appreciate you and your hard work! ✨💕
I think changing your mindset could help. Think of this as your "dear diary" and something that is for YOU to look on your memories from your past. so you focus less on the image of your body and more of "memories from when I was young", "memories of when I lived in my downtown LA apartment"
I totally feel you girl. I've always been bigger boned than everyone else and constantly compare myself to others and what more I can be doing. It sucks sometimes but there's also days where I am a boss ass B and tell myself I am beautiful and there's only one of me. Thank you for sharing that in your video today❤sometimes I feel like I'm the only one going thru it! Love your channel & you so much!!❤❤
so relatable! especially the chin - i feel the same way. Also about being active and consistenly working out but not 'looking like' someone that works out often. Loving our bodies is an on going journey. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It feels good to know that others have the same thoughts and feelings.
Amazing mixture of vlog! Ypur content is always brilliant. Thanks for being honest about body image. Always something I have struggled with. I concentrate on the positive feeling after a workout feeling fit and healthy. Weight is everything as long as I have a balanced diet that is great. Jones brother looked sensational. I hope you enjoyed it! ❤❤
MISS JUICE!!! this is why i love watching your content, you’re seriously THE REALEST content creator that i follow and i genuinely feel like you have this energy that motivates your audience, i’ve become a fit girly and a more confident girly bc you’re literally like the sister i never had. watching your youtube, your tiktoks, your instagram, the podcast!!! you just boost me up like you’re MY hype woman. i appreciate so much your vulnerability and realness about how you’ve been feeling, the period blues are so real. but you’re such an enigmatic soul and beautiful woman, i can’t wait for you to feel better bc you deserve it! you’re such a dope person and you deserve the world girl boss 👏 ❤
i just started my vlog channel and girl I feel you with the body image issues! I never felt I needed work done but now looking at myself constantly it has crossed my mind. You look freaking amazing! ❤
this is more than relatable and im proud of you for being able to open up and talk about it! everyone struggles with this and i think talking it out and realizing you struggle with it is the first step. hiring an editor might be just avoiding the problem rather than being able to edit and look at yourself and accept and love what you see. it's easier said than done and i struggle with loving myself too. love you❤
Hi, therapist here ! I think what might be missing with your goals is self compassion through the process and I mean real self compassion not just affirmations because if you are so focused on reaching the goal to make you happy or to “finally feel ____” (insert anything) you’ll still feel like it is not enough or wanting more. TRULY loving ourselves through process and TRULY loving ourselves at every stage and body weight is the key into feeling that fulfillment
Loved your candid chat. Just at the beginning of your video, I was marveling at how toned your legs looked and spiraling about my own. Looks and aesthetics are so subjective. You’re doing great!❤
You are the best for sharing these vulnerable moments, thank you so much for being so real! And just so you know, you’re so beautiful and inspiring and your videos are so so good! Keep posting, you bring a lot of joy to lots of girlies ✨
this convo was so so so real. I love you girl and ur feelings are sooo valid, and we’ve all been there for forking surreee! ur a queen for opening up to us🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️
Wow you got me emotional!! 🥺 I literally love your videos! I have been a follower since and you’ve taught me so much! You are strong, very hard working and you are amazing and beautiful tk ❤️ Through the years, i’ve seen you grow and you’ve always been amazing in your own way. Thank you for sharing moments like this with us. You’ve made me smile, laugh, and inspired me in so many ways. Keep being you Tk 😘 We’re always here!
Feelings do stem from the expectations we hold for ourself, that we would never put on anyone else. Seriously have the same insecurities pop out through good and bad times. I can’t stress enough that your own beauty on the inside and out stands out so much more than looking and being exactly like anyone else. Huge thing to not overthink or consider anyone else’s opinions when it comes to yourself. I know we all know these things, but it’s so important to remind yourself. Not a commenter, my first one on TH-cam even tho I’ve watched for at least 10 years. Resonated with this sm!
TK you can tell by the comments how relatable everything you said was and how much everyone cares for you. Keep your head up we all love you and you’re beautiful inside and out. 🤍🤍🤍
TK! I always love your videos! I work in news (which is def an industry STRUGGLING) some of the best advice I’ve gotten when I’m like “what’s the point” is this: if your video even helps ONE person then it’s worth it. I hope that helps when you feel uninspired. Sometimes that one person is yourself. ❤️
Tk I’m here crying with you and I really hope you know I look up to you and you are inspiring me to get back on my grind and do shit even though I don’t want to at all. Sometimes it’s just life your delt a hand of cards and it’s all about how you use them and make life worth it ❤
For a podcast idea you should do an episode on what to do if you’re going on vacation to la for the first time and describing what there is to do in each section, what sections you should avoid because there unsafe, etc.
YESSSS we all still have these low vibration days, especially on our period. EVERYONE has these days. You're beautiful inside and out. The fact that you even think about if people are hurt by your words speaks volumes TK. Advice: I would spend time looking at yourself in the mirror, and pick out things you LOVE about yourself. Being humble is important too, don't forget that. It's called ~ BaLaNcE ~ lmao. You're doing great sweetie 😅❤️
love seeing your vulnerable side! we all struggle with good days and bad days; knowing that the feeling is temporary is something that gets me thru the tough times! I think hiring an editor (even if all they do is the rough cut) could be helpful anddd of course therapy to get some tools in your mental toolbox. you got this!
TK, I remember when I first saw you and I thought wow she’s so pretty! I love the softness of your face shape. You look youthful, kind and emanate like, angel energy. Unfortunately, most influencers pay to get the same face. I hope you’re able to embrace your unique beauty 💛
Girl you already know all the answers! Ik self esteem is very hard to maintain. I’ve been trying to post sticky notes around my house with the things I know I am as a person. Whether it’s a physical trait or trait about myself. Just continue to remind yourself to take your own advice. ❤ keep your head up girl. You are amazing
Love you TK ❤️ Just a reminder, we love you so much for who you are. AND, just because your situation isn’t as bad as some people, it doesn’t mean that your feelings aren’t valid. You are so beautiful and we’ll love you no matter what decisions you make. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I totally get this perspective! I’ve always wondered how TH-camrs deal with looking at all angles of themselves all the time… I can’t even walk passed a mirror without criticizing myself, I can’t imagine editing my LIFE❤ hugs….you’re gorg!!!
The realness is WHAT WE LOVE AND LOOK FOR!!! Allow urself to let out these emotions because I’ve been able to connect to you so much, especially on the topic u were discussing at the end when it comes to confidence 🩷🩷
hi! this is relatable af :) i don’t agree w all of your views or all of your content but i like watching your videos bc you seem pretty real & hyper fixating on your looks when your whole job involves looking at yourself… that’s real dude. if you wanna get work done do it! that’s your choice and it’s your body. also have you ever tried those drainage facials or doing guasha very consistently? i’ve seen good results online if you want to avoid surgery
TK I literally had the same convo with my therapist about body image yesterday. I feel the same and have such big body issues. I also HATE talking about because i feel weird feeling bad for myself/putting this feeling into words is hard. But definitely talking it out helps. I’m happy not see I’m not alone and that someone i look up to struggles with this too. ❤
Tk your feelings are valid! We're all human. some days are just tough and some days are amazing!!! It's normal and human of you to have feelings. That's what makes us human. ❤ Thanks for showing this side of you on the internet because the world needs to know! Haha ! This is real ! ❤❤❤ Also I love watching your videos while I eat!!
TK, your life is what 99% of us wish ours was. You slay harder than anyone. Weight and body are controllables. You got your dream job and you controlled what you could to get there and continue to do everything to excel in that field. So do the same with your body. This is a controllable and based on what ive seen you accomplish, it's one that I know you can take the reins on. You're perfect, but that's not what you wanna hear. You got this and were all watching your videos because your eyebrows slay. love u xx
I struggle with my body image too and am super insecure with my double chin/rounder face. But I look at you and think you are sooooo gorg and slay I’m shook you struggle with my same thoughts and insecurities. Love you girl thank you for keeping it real
Tk you are so beautiful and inspiring womannn❤️ My fav are all the “Fast and Furious” movies ofcccc, “See You Soon”, “Nights in Rondanthe”. “Somethings gotta give”, “Safe Haven” and “Dirty Dancing”❤️
sending the needed energy your way; have grace with yourself its only your first time living life & you are such a healthy individual with a good heart & soul. Nothing can discount these things! Recently watched A Walk to Remember, it was a great Nicholas Sparks throwback. Stay gorgeous TK!
I love the real you Tk, thank you for sharing this with the dirty forkers and breaking the stigma. I love and you content and I couldn't imagine my life with out your influence. Just watched "the other woman" last night and it was so forking funny! its about sisterhood and girl friendships and I think you would really enjoy!
Hi tk, thank you for sharing your experience, I think more people deal with this then we would like to admit. Unfortunately it was not until my mental health reached rock bottom for me to realize several things. We live in a society focused so much on appearances that it is no surprise we compare our images and are constantly seeking to change ourselves. This may sound quite morbid but in reality it is a beautiful thing, but in many ways we have become out of touch with the fact that we all must face death. Please do not think about this as a sad thing but the very reason we should focus on our happiness conditional n how think of ourselves versus how other think of us. We have also become out of touch with our understanding of our deeper self. Of course we are all fixated on how we look when the world around us constantly operates on shallow and surface level consciousness. But I think you even touched upon this, there is so much more depth to ourselves then appearances. Once we understand ourselves at that depth, all these surface level worries become quieter. Also, a reminder that no matter what we might think or how things might appear, no perfect person exists. Truly everyone is going through inner battles and struggles. But social media has made the messiness and depth of human nature appear too clean cut and shallow. I hope this helps a little and please know you are not alone. I think it is really important to be vulnerable because there is much hurt and pain that is being suppressed.
We love you, and you’re perfect!!!! ❤ you’re pod and channel motivates me literally every time you upload. You have the best fucking edits. You’re killing it.
Every woman knows how you feel! I was so tough on myself for so long and I recently quit drinking and the little voice in my head that used to tear myself down is completely gone! I’m not sure how they’re correlated, but I have never felt better, or loved myself this much. I started out by quitting for a month, and it completely changed my life.
As someone who competed in bodybuilding and achieved the perfect body, it doesn’t solve all your problems. I had random people coming up to me telling me I look beautiful, but I was still having a tough time mentally. I went through a depressive episode this year and completely fixed my mental health, which also comes with not having a perfect body. Granted I did lose weight and recomped bc I really wanted to and it def helped my confidence. I would hire a personal trainer and do a full diet plan to get the results you want while living your best life. You can’t get perfection but you can get close!!
hopping here to say i concur ^ i’m a certified personal trainer, did f45 for years, performed well as an athlete (lacrosse) but never “looked” super in shape. started lifting HEAVY in the gym, ate right, started seeing progress in my strength and in the shape of my body, and honestly never turned back to workout classes. i run XC to help with my local high school and that’s about it. making physical changes won’t solve the mental problems but it is something that’ll make you feel good inside and out-I’ve had the least amount of injuries training for strength/hypertrophy and i like how i look most days. best of luck to you in your fitness journey.
What would you life look like if you liked looking at yourself? What would change? What would that feel like? Which thoughts would you have? This year has been about momentum for you and what you’re experiencing rn is just momentum of certain belief systems and thoughts and emotions that were created in the past and have not been broken. So all you have to do is create momentum for something else. You can do that by asking yourself questions like the ones I asked. You can journal on them too :) Also I believe that periods help us clear old energy, so whatever comes up while we’re on our periods is ready to be healed. You’ve got this TK ♥️
Everyone is hard on themselves, it's really brave you talked about it because everyone is scared to say they want to lose weight it's so taboo. But you are so pretty and you will look back on this time on your life and think what was my problem!! Having to watch your own videos would make you so hyper critical of your looks. I love your energy and watching your life in LA
We watch you TK because we love you and want the juice!!! You're allowed to feel this way but please know we are cheering you on and want you to keep uploading just as you are --fabulous.❤
I have the same insecurity when it comes to my jawline and chin too! I almost never hear anyone talk about it or have been able to emphasize with the struggle too
I love you so much tk! I just wanted to say you have easily become one of my favorite TH-camrs and content creators over time and your vlogs make my day, every time you post i get so excited! as a girl in my 20s as well, seeing you be a boss ass bitch doing what you love, traveling, exploring, and staying so dedicated to your craft and going to the gym it truly does inspire me to do the same! I especially love how you show us your daily routines, your to do lists, and all the fun stuff too 😊I hope you know how an amazing and beautiful person you are! And you’re right there is no one like you. Stay focused and doing your best, even if sometimes we need to cry it out 💗💗💗 thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest with us, it means a lot
hi TK, I never comment but I absolutely loved this video. I relate so hard with the body image stuff & I thought I was the only one (,: it f*king sucks when you feel strong, healthy, been consistent with working out & eating well but then you see a bad angle of yourself in a reflection and all the mental progress goes down the drain. just like you said, there's good days & bad days. and in reality we are hot asf anyways!!! just keep it pushing girly
Hi TK! Any Hoka running sneaker (or any brand honestly) recs? I only run like 0-2 times a week but I’ve had my current running shoes for a couple years soooo would probably help get rid of my knee pain to get some new ones lol. Thanks!!
Thank you for opening up to us TK , you are genuinely such an amazing person. I hope I can be as great as u are for the rest of my twenties 🥹🫶🏾❤️💋 We are our own biggest critic sometimes and all of your feelings are valid. Acknowledging them and talking about them is such an important step for being able to fix them and change the way we feel and think about ourselves 🩷
Hey TK, I hope you get to read this. I am 26 years old and have a very similar body and face shape to your’s and I always hated it unless if I was super thin which I was not for most of my life. After a while, I realized no matter how I look, a lot of people love me and it made me gain back my confidence. You are beautiful just the way you are and there are many people who wished they looked like you❤️
When I ran cross country we changed our shoes once the bottom of them started to loose the tread or get smooth ! That’s when you know they have too many miles on them.
Everything you're saying is so honest. I work my ass of in the gym 3 days a week, adjusted my diet, and i haven't been able to lose weight (not looking for advice) &i never had a double chin a until after college. I know I'm getting stronger and healthier. Honestly I'm kinda over dieting. Just gonna work out, get more sleep, and stress less.
Thank you for sharing how you are feeling. Just letting you know you are doing great sweetie. We see you and all the hard work you do :) Also movie recommendation came out recently it is called Fair play.
tk i really feel like views might be dropping just because people are busy with their own stuff and overwhelmed with school/work but it does not equate to your worth in any way! keep doing what you’re doing and good will come
People are dying, the world is being ripped appart and yall are worried about views dropping?! What? Yall affraid she can’t afford another bougie italy holiday? She will be fine, they will all be fine.
tk, i can't thank you enough for your vulnerability with the body image conversation. i have been struggling with the EXACT same thing, and hearing someone i admire talk about it is really inspiring and makes me feel not alone. you are beautiful inside and out and you add so much value to this world. i can't wait to see you host your own show one day. thank you again for being real. never forget that your power is in your authenticity. we love you xx
Love u love u love uuuu
1. Praying Julia is ok overseas
2. Try to remember how much TH-cam has seriously grown even in a year. That’s ALL freaking you!!

Like everyone has something. Keep on being you ❤️❤️❤️
This is so relatable! It’s like this internal battle of confidence and gratitude for life but then these little digs at ourselves about something we think doesn’t meet the ideal image of a woman. I fully relate and love that you shared this. Just know you’re stunning and worthy of everything good 🤍

Is your friend Julia who went to Israel for a month okay?!?

My skin is my BIGGEST insecurity. Literally starting meds next month for it. Your videos are such a good mix of feeling blah but also being the hype girl that you are. Keep it real sis! I’m here for you always and forever and will support no matter what. Hope you’re back on your journaling and manifesting shizz! Have a good day🩵✨
Thank you for being so open and honest TK!! You're always so inspiring to me and every time you upload content it makes me literally jump with excitement!! You're so awesome and you're killing the game. We love u so much!!!
Aw TK! Again, I truly admire your perspective!! You don’t understand how rare self awareness is, and it’s so refreshing! You’re beautiful, everyone has insecurities, the views will come back! 🫶🏼
Love ya sm
We love you TK! Watching your videos always makes me so happy & you are such a positive influence on YT. This is so relatable so thank you. Can't wait to keep watching your content, you are the best
Thank u for the kind words!!!

Love u sm
Hi TK, I watch every video but rarely comment, but I just wanted to say RE your body image issues: the people who consistently watch you I promise you never think twice about how you look. I know I’ve watched you since the very beginning of your channel and never once have I thought about your “jaw line” or anything negative. If anything I always think “wow she has great legs or wow she has a nice stomach you can tell she works out” and I hope that doesn’t come off as too picturesque either. What I’m trying to say is I promise as an outside we never think negatively about you ❤
this is soooo sweet! I appreciate the kind words & support sm!
Tk, I appreciate how honest and real you are with your audience. I feel like you have inspired me so much with sharing your struggles, it makes me realize we all go through ups and downs. PLEASEEE keep the TH-cam videos going! I absolutely love your videos and it sucks that your views are being affected! The reals ones appreciate you and your hard work! ✨💕
Love u so much❤
I miss seeing your videos! Love them so much they genuinely make my life better ❤
I think changing your mindset could help. Think of this as your "dear diary" and something that is for YOU to look on your memories from your past. so you focus less on the image of your body and more of "memories from when I was young", "memories of when I lived in my downtown LA apartment"
I totally feel you girl. I've always been bigger boned than everyone else and constantly compare myself to others and what more I can be doing. It sucks sometimes but there's also days where I am a boss ass B and tell myself I am beautiful and there's only one of me. Thank you for sharing that in your video today❤sometimes I feel like I'm the only one going thru it! Love your channel & you so much!!❤❤
TK thank you always for being vulnerable 🫶🏼 it’s so good and relatable to see! You are a queen and we love you xxx
Love u so much
so relatable! especially the chin - i feel the same way. Also about being active and consistenly working out but not 'looking like' someone that works out often. Loving our bodies is an on going journey. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It feels good to know that others have the same thoughts and feelings.
Completely agree ❤❤
Keep up all the work, I love your videos! Thank you for being so real and transparent!
Amazing mixture of vlog! Ypur content is always brilliant. Thanks for being honest about body image. Always something I have struggled with. I concentrate on the positive feeling after a workout feeling fit and healthy. Weight is everything as long as I have a balanced diet that is great. Jones brother looked sensational. I hope you enjoyed it! ❤❤
ilysm, TK❤ thank you for being vulnerable
love u
MISS JUICE!!! this is why i love watching your content, you’re seriously THE REALEST content creator that i follow and i genuinely feel like you have this energy that motivates your audience, i’ve become a fit girly and a more confident girly bc you’re literally like the sister i never had. watching your youtube, your tiktoks, your instagram, the podcast!!! you just boost me up like you’re MY hype woman. i appreciate so much your vulnerability and realness about how you’ve been feeling, the period blues are so real. but you’re such an enigmatic soul and beautiful woman, i can’t wait for you to feel better bc you deserve it! you’re such a dope person and you deserve the world girl boss 👏 ❤
honestly thanks for sharing... i love these real vlogs!
Ilysm
i just started my vlog channel and girl I feel you with the body image issues! I never felt I needed work done but now looking at myself constantly it has crossed my mind. You look freaking amazing! ❤
this is more than relatable and im proud of you for being able to open up and talk about it! everyone struggles with this and i think talking it out and realizing you struggle with it is the first step. hiring an editor might be just avoiding the problem rather than being able to edit and look at yourself and accept and love what you see. it's easier said than done and i struggle with loving myself too. love you❤
LOVE YOU
Hi, therapist here ! I think what might be missing with your goals is self compassion through the process and I mean real self compassion not just affirmations because if you are so focused on reaching the goal to make you happy or to “finally feel ____” (insert anything) you’ll still feel like it is not enough or wanting more. TRULY loving ourselves through process and TRULY loving ourselves at every stage and body weight is the key into feeling that fulfillment
Thank you for being authentically human and raw…love you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved your candid chat. Just at the beginning of your video, I was marveling at how toned your legs looked and spiraling about my own. Looks and aesthetics are so subjective. You’re doing great!❤
Try the charlotte tilbury airbrush flawless long wear foundation!! It’s sooo good
You are the best for sharing these vulnerable moments, thank you so much for being so real! And just so you know, you’re so beautiful and inspiring and your videos are so so good! Keep posting, you bring a lot of joy to lots of girlies ✨
Love u so much
WE LOVE YOU TK!!! no matter what, you will always be an inspiration to all of us! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 keep killing it❤
this convo was so so so real. I love you girl and ur feelings are sooo valid, and we’ve all been there for forking surreee! ur a queen for opening up to us🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️
also watch annihilation with natalie portman if you haven’t seen it yet, it is such a kind trip
mind^🙃
Wow you got me emotional!! 🥺 I literally love your videos! I have been a follower since and you’ve taught me so much! You are strong, very hard working and you are amazing and beautiful tk ❤️ Through the years, i’ve seen you grow and you’ve always been amazing in your own way. Thank you for sharing moments like this with us. You’ve made me smile, laugh, and inspired me in so many ways. Keep being you Tk 😘 We’re always here!
Feelings do stem from the expectations we hold for ourself, that we would never put on anyone else. Seriously have the same insecurities pop out through good and bad times. I can’t stress enough that your own beauty on the inside and out stands out so much more than looking and being exactly like anyone else. Huge thing to not overthink or consider anyone else’s opinions when it comes to yourself. I know we all know these things, but it’s so important to remind yourself. Not a commenter, my first one on TH-cam even tho I’ve watched for at least 10 years. Resonated with this sm!
TK you can tell by the comments how relatable everything you said was and how much everyone cares for you. Keep your head up we all love you and you’re beautiful inside and out. 🤍🤍🤍
I get so happy when you upload!! Please don’t stop the vlogs 🤍🤍
TK! I always love your videos! I work in news (which is def an industry STRUGGLING) some of the best advice I’ve gotten when I’m like “what’s the point” is this: if your video even helps ONE person then it’s worth it. I hope that helps when you feel uninspired. Sometimes that one person is yourself. ❤️
Thank u for the kind words!
Tk I’m here crying with you and I really hope you know I look up to you and you are inspiring me to get back on my grind and do shit even though I don’t want to at all. Sometimes it’s just life your delt a hand of cards and it’s all about how you use them and make life worth it ❤
For a podcast idea you should do an episode on what to do if you’re going on vacation to la for the first time and describing what there is to do in each section, what sections you should avoid because there unsafe, etc.
YESSSS we all still have these low vibration days, especially on our period. EVERYONE has these days. You're beautiful inside and out. The fact that you even think about if people are hurt by your words speaks volumes TK.
Advice: I would spend time looking at yourself in the mirror, and pick out things you LOVE about yourself. Being humble is important too, don't forget that. It's called ~ BaLaNcE ~ lmao. You're doing great sweetie 😅❤️
love seeing your vulnerable side! we all struggle with good days and bad days; knowing that the feeling is temporary is something that gets me thru the tough times! I think hiring an editor (even if all they do is the rough cut) could be helpful anddd of course therapy to get some tools in your mental toolbox. you got this!
Girl you are killing it. Loved your Ted talk. Keep doing you! X
Eating and watching your videos
THE BEST FEELING AND THING EVER 🤩 need more
Love u❤️
TK, I remember when I first saw you and I thought wow she’s so pretty! I love the softness of your face shape. You look youthful, kind and emanate like, angel energy. Unfortunately, most influencers pay to get the same face. I hope you’re able to embrace your unique beauty 💛
ily
i relate to so many things you said in this video! love you and sending LOVE
Girl you already know all the answers! Ik self esteem is very hard to maintain. I’ve been trying to post sticky notes around my house with the things I know I am as a person. Whether it’s a physical trait or trait about myself. Just continue to remind yourself to take your own advice. ❤ keep your head up girl. You are amazing
Loved how vulnerable and relatable this video was. Hope if you’re comfortable with it, to have more of these self real talks on camera
Absolutely going to try
Love you TK ❤️
Just a reminder, we love you so much for who you are.
AND, just because your situation isn’t as bad as some people, it doesn’t mean that your feelings aren’t valid.
You are so beautiful and we’ll love you no matter what decisions you make. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
❤❤❤ u sm
I totally get this perspective! I’ve always wondered how TH-camrs deal with looking at all angles of themselves all the time… I can’t even walk passed a mirror without criticizing myself, I can’t imagine editing my LIFE❤ hugs….you’re gorg!!!
The realness is WHAT WE LOVE AND LOOK FOR!!! Allow urself to let out these emotions because I’ve been able to connect to you so much, especially on the topic u were discussing at the end when it comes to confidence 🩷🩷
hi! this is relatable af :) i don’t agree w all of your views or all of your content but i like watching your videos bc you seem pretty real & hyper fixating on your looks when your whole job involves looking at yourself… that’s real dude. if you wanna get work done do it! that’s your choice and it’s your body. also have you ever tried those drainage facials or doing guasha very consistently? i’ve seen good results online if you want to avoid surgery
TK I literally had the same convo with my therapist about body image yesterday. I feel the same and have such big body issues. I also HATE talking about because i feel weird feeling bad for myself/putting this feeling into words is hard. But definitely talking it out helps. I’m happy not see I’m not alone and that someone i look up to struggles with this too. ❤
Tk your feelings are valid! We're all human. some days are just tough and some days are amazing!!! It's normal and human of you to have feelings. That's what makes us human. ❤
Thanks for showing this side of you on the internet because the world needs to know! Haha ! This is real !
❤❤❤
Also I love watching your videos while I eat!!
ilysm ❤️🎀
Super relatable !!! Release it and keep doing your best - I know I can be up and down too
❤❤❤
TK, your life is what 99% of us wish ours was. You slay harder than anyone. Weight and body are controllables. You got your dream job and you controlled what you could to get there and continue to do everything to excel in that field. So do the same with your body. This is a controllable and based on what ive seen you accomplish, it's one that I know you can take the reins on. You're perfect, but that's not what you wanna hear. You got this and were all watching your videos because your eyebrows slay. love u xx
I struggle with my body image too and am super insecure with my double chin/rounder face. But I look at you and think you are sooooo gorg and slay I’m shook you struggle with my same thoughts and insecurities. Love you girl thank you for keeping it real
Keep pushing TK!!! Thank you for all you do💜
Tk you are so beautiful and inspiring womannn❤️ My fav are all the “Fast and Furious” movies ofcccc, “See You Soon”, “Nights in Rondanthe”. “Somethings gotta give”, “Safe Haven” and “Dirty Dancing”❤️
sending the needed energy your way; have grace with yourself its only your first time living life & you are such a healthy individual with a good heart & soul. Nothing can discount these things! Recently watched A Walk to Remember, it was a great Nicholas Sparks throwback. Stay gorgeous TK!
Love u
I love the real you Tk, thank you for sharing this with the dirty forkers and breaking the stigma. I love and you content and I couldn't imagine my life with out your influence. Just watched "the other woman" last night and it was so forking funny! its about sisterhood and girl friendships and I think you would really enjoy!
Hi tk, thank you for sharing your experience, I think more people deal with this then we would like to admit. Unfortunately it was not until my mental health reached rock bottom for me to realize several things. We live in a society focused so much on appearances that it is no surprise we compare our images and are constantly seeking to change ourselves. This may sound quite morbid but in reality it is a beautiful thing, but in many ways we have become out of touch with the fact that we all must face death. Please do not think about this as a sad thing but the very reason we should focus on our happiness conditional n how think of ourselves versus how other think of us. We have also become out of touch with our understanding of our deeper self. Of course we are all fixated on how we look when the world around us constantly operates on shallow and surface level consciousness. But I think you even touched upon this, there is so much more depth to ourselves then appearances. Once we understand ourselves at that depth, all these surface level worries become quieter. Also, a reminder that no matter what we might think or how things might appear, no perfect person exists. Truly everyone is going through inner battles and struggles. But social media has made the messiness and depth of human nature appear too clean cut and shallow. I hope this helps a little and please know you are not alone. I think it is really important to be vulnerable because there is much hurt and pain that is being suppressed.
you: "i actually love eating and watching good youtube videos"
me: [eating a bowl of pasta while watching your vlog] SAME.
Same here
We love you, and you’re perfect!!!! ❤ you’re pod and channel motivates me literally every time you upload. You have the best fucking edits. You’re killing it.
TK YOURE SUCH A BAD BISH THANK U FOR BEING SO HONEST AND VULNERABLE. YOURE MY FAVE AND U KICK ASS. ❤
Every woman knows how you feel! I was so tough on myself for so long and I recently quit drinking and the little voice in my head that used to tear myself down is completely gone! I’m not sure how they’re correlated, but I have never felt better, or loved myself this much. I started out by quitting for a month, and it completely changed my life.
sooo interesting! I love this for you
As someone who competed in bodybuilding and achieved the perfect body, it doesn’t solve all your problems. I had random people coming up to me telling me I look beautiful, but I was still having a tough time mentally. I went through a depressive episode this year and completely fixed my mental health, which also comes with not having a perfect body. Granted I did lose weight and recomped bc I really wanted to and it def helped my confidence. I would hire a personal trainer and do a full diet plan to get the results you want while living your best life. You can’t get perfection but you can get close!!
Absolutely agree ❤❤
hopping here to say i concur ^ i’m a certified personal trainer, did f45 for years, performed well as an athlete (lacrosse) but never “looked” super in shape. started lifting HEAVY in the gym, ate right, started seeing progress in my strength and in the shape of my body, and honestly never turned back to workout classes. i run XC to help with my local high school and that’s about it. making physical changes won’t solve the mental problems but it is something that’ll make you feel good inside and out-I’ve had the least amount of injuries training for strength/hypertrophy and i like how i look most days. best of luck to you in your fitness journey.
@@yungxy I’m also a CPT!!
@@yungxy also stopped going to workout classes 10000% agree with lifting + macro tracking
What would you life look like if you liked looking at yourself? What would change? What would that feel like? Which thoughts would you have? This year has been about momentum for you and what you’re experiencing rn is just momentum of certain belief systems and thoughts and emotions that were created in the past and have not been broken. So all you have to do is create momentum for something else. You can do that by asking yourself questions like the ones I asked. You can journal on them too :) Also I believe that periods help us clear old energy, so whatever comes up while we’re on our periods is ready to be healed. You’ve got this TK ♥️
Everyone is hard on themselves, it's really brave you talked about it because everyone is scared to say they want to lose weight it's so taboo. But you are so pretty and you will look back on this time on your life and think what was my problem!! Having to watch your own videos would make you so hyper critical of your looks. I love your energy and watching your life in LA
love youre videos soo much !! You got this TK !!
We watch you TK because we love you and want the juice!!! You're allowed to feel this way but please know we are cheering you on and want you to keep uploading just as you are --fabulous.❤
Love u
i’m late again but excited to watch as always!!👏🏽💗
I have the same insecurity when it comes to my jawline and chin too! I almost never hear anyone talk about it or have been able to emphasize with the struggle too
I love you so much tk! I just wanted to say you have easily become one of my favorite TH-camrs and content creators over time and your vlogs make my day, every time you post i get so excited! as a girl in my 20s as well, seeing you be a boss ass bitch doing what you love, traveling, exploring, and staying so dedicated to your craft and going to the gym it truly does inspire me to do the same! I especially love how you show us your daily routines, your to do lists, and all the fun stuff too 😊I hope you know how an amazing and beautiful person you are! And you’re right there is no one like you. Stay focused and doing your best, even if sometimes we need to cry it out 💗💗💗 thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest with us, it means a lot
hi TK, I never comment but I absolutely loved this video. I relate so hard with the body image stuff & I thought I was the only one (,: it f*king sucks when you feel strong, healthy, been consistent with working out & eating well but then you see a bad angle of yourself in a reflection and all the mental progress goes down the drain. just like you said, there's good days & bad days. and in reality we are hot asf anyways!!! just keep it pushing girly
Hi TK! Any Hoka running sneaker (or any brand honestly) recs? I only run like 0-2 times a week but I’ve had my current running shoes for a couple years soooo would probably help get rid of my knee pain to get some new ones lol. Thanks!!
I loveeee my hokas!!!! I think they are the Bondi 8's
@@TaylorKing Yay thank you!
Thank you for opening up to us TK , you are genuinely such an amazing person. I hope I can be as great as u are for the rest of my twenties 🥹🫶🏾❤️💋
We are our own biggest critic sometimes and all of your feelings are valid. Acknowledging them and talking about them is such an important step for being able to fix them and change the way we feel and think about ourselves 🩷
Hey TK, I hope you get to read this. I am 26 years old and have a very similar body and face shape to your’s and I always hated it unless if I was super thin which I was not for most of my life. After a while, I realized no matter how I look, a lot of people love me and it made me gain back my confidence. You are beautiful just the way you are and there are many people who wished they looked like you❤️
When I ran cross country we changed our shoes once the bottom of them started to loose the tread or get smooth ! That’s when you know they have too many miles on them.
oooo good to know
we love ya tk just remember tht, and we all feel shitty sometimes ❤❤❤
Love you TK!! 💖
I’m saving for my Renee rap concert in nyc!!!
Soooo epic
Everything you're saying is so honest. I work my ass of in the gym 3 days a week, adjusted my diet, and i haven't been able to lose weight (not looking for advice) &i never had a double chin a until after college. I know I'm getting stronger and healthier. Honestly I'm kinda over dieting. Just gonna work out, get more sleep, and stress less.
Thank you for sharing how you are feeling. Just letting you know you are doing great sweetie. We see you and all the hard work you do :) Also movie recommendation came out recently it is called Fair play.
Absolutely agree, such an inspiration ❤❤
Look at the treads on your running shoes. If you start to see the color fading away or especially if they start to squeak RUN TO THE STORE!!!
