Can we take a moment to appreciate REMI
yes, this!
Idk how she does it
When she said “am I doing okay?” I LOST IT. Everyone def needs a remi!
Yesss I couldn’t agree more! You could tell she just wanted her to feel safe about her feelings
i know she’s so sweet 💓💓
Remi is one hell of a healthy minded person. I don’t feel an ounce of misplaced ego in that girl. Also, thank you Alisha for being so vulnerable, you kept saying sorry but this is whats lacking on youtube and social media: brutal honesty and very very valid human feelings. when she talked about feeling like a Billboard I was like: yes, I can completely underdand how detrimental that can be for one’s mental health. A lot of honesty in this one, really appreciated it.
when Alisha started crying about not feeling like herself I started bawling too because I've felt that way at the beginning of this year and I still have these ups and downs and I was so thankful for her for speaking about this feeling and with Remi being so supportive and saying all these things that not only are comforting but also make sense and are logical. I love this transparency and that this kind of turned into a therapy session cause I and I think a lot of us needed it as well.
Yesss I feel like I’ve been in the same boat too
I’ve been feeling this way too! This almost felt like my own therapy session 😅❤
I hate she felt like it was stupid for her to talk about her feelings and she is grateful we don’t think she isn’t. :(
This is the realest I’ve ever seen Alisha. Sometimes I find it hard to “relate” to influencers in any meaningful way, but this Alisha, this raw version, is SO relatable. Thank you for being so vulnerable, Alisha. You’re a beautiful soul.
Your feelings are valid!! No matter what’s going on in the world - this is your life & your experience. & that matters. Your feelings, your healing, your heart & mind matters. You got this mama. Take care of yourself before anything else. Your happiness matters. 💕
This video hit me in the feels... but made my feelings feel valid too. Thank you both so much ❤
Remi is right: Alisha, no one is mad at you for not uploading! We all love you and just want you to happy. Also, what you said about ‘I should be happy cause there’s bigger problems in the world’: just cause someone has cancer doesn’t mean your broken leg doesn’t hurt! It’s the same with mental health. We love you Lida!!
💯💯
Exactly. You can’t make the content that we love you if you aren’t the you that is the happiest. We want to see you at your best but the real ones will walk with you through the worst. We love you losh ❤️😍
yes!!
My therapist explained that the “loss of words” or “losing train of thought” is your brain’s natural response when talking about tough things!
This makes a lot of sense
Ive always thought of it as my brain's way of trying to "rewire" or just slow me down so then I can actually think and figure out what is happening.
When Alisha opened up about her anxiety I had never up to that point been able to relate to someone so much, thank you so much for continuing to being so open with us. You’re helping us more than you know 💗
Yeah i agree. I completely understand what shes feeling. I feel like this all the time. ❤️
This sounds messed up to say but I like to see this side of Alisha bc it feels genuine and I commend for being able to open up to all of us and share her true feelings with us I also wish she would do this on her vlog channel instead of what she's posting now
Alisha- it's okay to quit youtube and get a different job... I'm sure the money is fantastic and has allowed you a great life however your mental health and happiness is worth more then any amount of money in the world. Its priceless! Keep your head up girl and maybe your ready to retire from being a content creator. Thats OKAY!!!
Alisha!! You should NOT feel guilty. "Drowning in 10 feet and drowning in 10,000 feet are both drowning." There is no need to compare troubles, we all have them and are allowed to. Thank you for being vulnerable. I promise, it really, really helps others. Myself very included
This comment>>>literally made me cry
@@zelmiadege8200 applies to us all, friend 🤍 hugs
thank you for saying this :(
The hustle culture of 2012-2018 of uploading every week is what made you get up videos every week. Now more than ever, it’s normalized to take weeks off at a time or even months or years.
I used to upload every week in highschool because that is what everyone else was doing. Nobody really has a set upload schedule anymore. TH-cam culture is changing!
i don’t think uploading every week is the issue. She has taken a a lot of time off. But yet feels like this.. the part of the reason is maybe she just doesn’t feel like having this as a job.
Alishaaaa I’ve never seen you this open and vulnerable with your feelings. When you were explaining your anxiety, I understood completely even tho you may feel like you didn’t explain yourself well. Those bad days are rough and it’s hard to pinpoint it to one issue when you just feel like everything’s wrong. Life is a journey but we just have to keep going and taking care of ourselves !! Stay strong 🥺
This honestly explains why Alisha’s vlogs have been 50% sponsorships. Girl TAKE A BREAK! Get your happiness back! ❤️
What
This was like a backhanded compliment lol
@@jenevieaboubakare1780 for real 😬
@@jenevieaboubakare1780 it’s not a compliment or was meant to be one. I absolutely love Alisha & watch every upload…. And no one can tell me they haven’t seen an absolute decline in her videos since the month of festivals. This explains it! She’s so unhappy putting out 1/2 ass content. So she needs a break. Her happiness is worth more.
Girl… you do so much , creating a legacy for real. . I can’t even imagine doing alll that you do Alisha. I am a smaller TH-camr and feel like this sometimes when it comes to TH-cam. I am so happy you have amazing friends like Remi & Oli who are there for you always. Wish I had that. Watching your friendship is truly awesome.
Ps: I’ve been watching you since I was 19 & I’m 29 now … you have truly inspired me and I love your growth. The journey to becoming a better you for you can be rocky but it will lead you to a beautiful destination. Currently on that journey myself .
God bless
And let's not forget TK..I feel like she's behind the scenes a ton but I think TK does so much more than any of us could ever realize ♡ I literally love her
My heart broke when you said you both feel useless. I’m a 22 year old mama of 2 girls! I own my own business and bust my butt. You guys give me such a happy fun joyful hour of my very stressful life!! I appreciate you two!! You are not useless!!! 💛💛
When Remi brought up taking down the veil and being real 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 PLEASE be real with us!! Honestly, I feel like I like Alisha even more because she opened up and it’s like omg she has these problems too. It may have sounded like “rambling” to Alisha but for me it was just pouring out problems we all have and I loved it. It made ME feel better about how stupid I feel with my own problems. I think you opening up will create a “safe space” only because we know you guys have these problems and think this way too, and for me personally, it makes me more secure in my feelings
I hate seeing Alisha sad, I can relate so much. When she basically said she doesn’t know who she is without all of this, hit me hard. I turned 28 a couple days ago and I panicked because I still don’t even know who I am or what I want.. this is sooo relatable for many people. Also in America we are all burnt out working 5-7 days 15 hours a day sometimes. Especially if you’re an entrepreneur, it’s literally all day everyday. It’s easy to burn out and lose yourself!
yes! i completely agree with how here in america we work too much and it just becomes our entire life and doesn't give us time for anything else. it's heartbreaking
This feels like when you FaceTime your best friend and you’re able to tell them everything and they make you feel better 🥺 you guys have a beautiful friendship
It's nice to see her be so open and honest about something that is rarely spoken about, but it's also incredibly scary because you can tell she really needs a break.
as someone who has a normal job and lives a pretty normal life, I RELATE TO EVERY SINGLE WORD. alisha, your feelings are 100% normal - just some days the feelings are felt more than others. breaks breaks BREAKS. you NEED a break - it's really the only thing that truly helps long term. it's more than just "oh im taking a break from work" NO. it's getting out of your head, physically going somewhere new, and re-remembering that you are part of a world that also has the same issues and realizing it's OKAY to have these feelings.
I need a friend like Remi. This was a great podcast, it makes us see that influencers are real people with real struggles. Hope you feel better from doing this Alisha. Sending you guys love!!
The part where Alisha said it’s so much work to even talk to friends and the not caring with things you used to care about. I feel that so hard, definitely have been struggling with depression + anxiety the past year
ALSO, you can tell how good of a friend Remi is 😩 therapist remi!!
Remi should have kept to her psychology degree hahaha she killed this convo great listener love you both
ALISHA MARIE… this podcast made me feel so seen and loved and heard and I’m not even a creator 🥺🥺🥺
Same🥺
This is such a great example of how to talk about our issues. Remi is kind and understanding and most importantly, listening. She's guiding the conversation a little but mainly just making it a safe space for Alisha to unload and speak her mind. And Alisha, you weren't rambling. We got you! I'm sorry you're feeling this way and hope things ease soon. As for videos and content, I'd gladly watch you watch paint dry! We love you for you and enjoy any aspect of your life you choose to share. Be kind to yourself and love to you both! Xx
I never doubt that this job is hard. I know I couldn’t do it. I report to one person everyday with my job, I could not imagine having to report to thousands and thousands of people like you do with your job. Don’t invalidate your work Alisha!! We know you’re grateful, we know it’s not easy. And hats off to you for all your years of dedication to us. You are so much stronger than you think, and we can see that. You deserve breaks, and support just as much as the next person. ❤️
Low key, when my clients (I’m a therapist) cry in session, I get excited. If you cry, you’re being so raw and vulnerable and yassss! Love you, girl.
Alisha sharing her mental health journey is like a breath of fresh air. I know how hard it is to feel like you're up one day and down another, and it's hard to find people on social media who understand that depression is often a day-by-day fluctuation. I also feel so validated by you talking about some of the internal elements of your anxiety that you can't quite explain (like you not being yourself). I really relate to having some stressors that I can't quite put into words. Also, it seems like you are possibly grieving the past idea of yourself. For the majority of my life, I have always identified with being the "happy" girl, and having to realize the past year that most of my life I have just been covering up depressing and avoiding those feelings was a huge shock. Depression itself is devastating enough, but adding the fact that happiness and work ethic was tied to your identify can be an even harder blow. Having an avoidant personality is so confusing because it convinces you that you are okay when you really never were. Now that you are actually healthier and processing what you're feeling, it an feel like 10 steps backwards. Remember that you're not falling backwards, but you are falling forwards. You will make it through this. You have no reason to be carrying the shame of this. You should be so proud of yourself for moving forward. Some seasons of life are about surviving and not thriving and that is OKAY! Keep surviving and taking strides towards your full spiritual, physical, and mental health. Love you lots!
This episode was hard to watch because I feel like I can relate so much to what Alisha was saying, suffering with depression myself the feeling of not caring & not having the energy to care or speak is all too relatable. Also Remi missed her calling as a therapist, such calm non judgemental thoughts/advice 💜💜💜
I think Remi hit the nail on the head when she asked Alisha if she was jealous that some influencers haven’t gotten burnt out. That’s exactly what it sounds like. She’s been doing it for so long and thinks everyone will hit that point, when it’s not the reality for everyone.
It was such a negative thing to say and to seem so upset that people are enjoying it right now, it was weird. She can feel how she feels but leave other people out of it lol
Kind of. I think no matter what job anyone does, if they do it too much for too long especially if they don't create boundaries for themself, they will burn out inevitably
@@Mollywashere what are u talking bout weird lady
alisha deserves all the love for being so open in this episode🥺❤
Saying this so honestly, I don’t know what I would do without you guys. I’ve been watching you both from way back when and that shift when you guys became adults who began to open up about things with us is when I realized… we’re all just trying our best to survive. Its so helpful to hear that you both go through things I do. I love the advice and realness. It’s easy to be a fan and viewer! Love y’all! 💜
me too
We don’t do the same things or the have the same career but it’s kinda comforting knowing that we feel the same way in life and maybe being in your late 20s feels your suppose to be something or where in life but where you are right now is where your suppose to be don’t push yourself to an unhealthy point or compare yourself to what others are doing . Take a break and come back stronger ♥️
She’s almost 30 and maybe she wants purpose in life
I agree. I think that’s exactly what it is. Im a few years younger than Alisha and i feel the exact same way. ❤️
@@Missmagazinebura I’m 27 turning 28 and feel that way and the pandemic stopped a lot of opportunities for a lot of people to grow and we look at age as a time limit but we have so much time to find something that will fulfill us .. it’s not easy dealing with change and growing and it’s scary also so you find comfort in what you are use to and watching others on social media also puts a lot of resentment on a lot of people as well .. life’s hard whether it’s a 9-5 job or not it’s never easy to try and find your path !
@@Hiitskatie I’m the same way too . I’m stuck at home after the pandemic
Well said 💖
I understand you alisha, you just miss you.
“You just miss you” hits hard 🥲
This is the best podcast you have put out because it’s incredibly relatable and I hope Alisha can understand how much others can understand what she is going through and have also personally gone through the same feelings.
I needed this episode of the podcast so much because I am like Alisha right now I’m experiencing my own burnout. Seeing her be this real and also being the type of person who just wants a solution to a problem and get through it. I feel that way a lot too right now. I feel like I have given myself time off but I also still feel exhausted and like I am struggling everyday. I feel like we need creators to be more real like this because otherwise we only ever see the ideal or perfect lifestyle because we only see what we think their life is not the reality of what it is. We are all human and I respect them both so much for sitting down and opening up this conversation and allowing it to be out there. I love both Alisha and Remi and I think I need to find time to do the things I love and stop not making anytime for my time of doing the things I love. We all need breaks. I love you guys thank you so much!
I really liked this episode... I've been dealing with a lot of these feelings in my own everyday life and it's really refreshing to hear someone else talk about it and not feel like I'm going crazy. It's really comforting to see people that you look up be really honest and break down. I wish Alisha all the best because she is such a sweet person and I just want to send her all of the love in the world.
One of the realest moments on a podcast ever that is super relatable! All of us who have anxiety have moments where we’ve felt like this and you are not stupid one bit this is just honest and open and we appreciate you for letting us relate to you more than ever , you are not alone sending lots of love 💕💕
Rem, I just wanted to let you know, coming from someone who has a auntie thats a dentist, VENEERS are a big No No! She says that even if dentists promise that they will do minimal shaving, at the end of the day it still IS shaving which means it is deterioration to your healthy teeth! Like Alisha said, you gotta consider in your older adult days you teeth wont be as strong and of course shaving wont help at all. Just a friendly PSA, hope you consider ;)
This!!
Hello guys. I have personally struggled with depression and listening to people going through it helped. It wasn't a miracle, but it made me realize that happiness sometimes is not a choice. I love this content because it's a nice and fresh perspective from all of those influencers that just tell you to ✨breathe✨ Truly thankful💕
The fact that Alisha is so open and vulnerable in this video about mental health, makes me love her so much more!! Also, Remi is such an amazing listener, we all need a friend like her!!
girls this podcast was amazing! I love how real and vulnerable you are. thank you for being honest and yourselves! put your mental health first! I love you guys so much! 😘
I’m happy Alisha opened up about this. I’m in the dumpy part of the waves today and it’s feels nice knowing I’m not alone in this sense of functional depression.
It truly feels like we’re floating and getting by and that sense of joy has been taking away. But, we somehow get things done. We have great days (less often), neutral days that makes you feel “numb”, and the shitty days where we realize how numb we’ve been, don’t have a sense of stability, trust in your own self, not knowing what makes us happy, our sense of worth, and simply loss.
Sending lots of love, support and respect for those who are going through it. There shouldn’t be shame or guilt for our feelings and truth, no matter where we come from. It’s hard enough already. It does get better🌻💕
Tonight I’m gonna take it off and rest. Take a bath (a simple bath), play sudoku and read/listen to a book. My biggest tip is to list the easy activities that make you feel good. Best if they are simple, easy and inexpensive.
Alisha I feel you 100% I have felt in a funk all year and I think you hit the nail on the head for what this year has been. It is okay to take time for yourself and take a full break is important and your real fans will support you. Thank you for sharing your current feelings, it helps us feel less alone
when alisha cries I CRY💛 THANK YOU for being so transparent. small creators like me aspire to be where you are and it's important to know there are struggles at every level
i think alisha is falling out of love with something she thought would be her whole life. and that’s okay, a lot of people go through the same feelings
Alisha you can post when you’re happy and you can post if you feel bad too (only if you want to). Us fans appreciate and understand any and all content you put out. Even if the video is you crying talking about your day and how you genuinely feel in the moment, and it doesn’t all have to make sense, people relate to that. I also struggle articulating how I feel sometimes. Thank you for talking about this. 💛
Honestly, I have watched Remi’s content for YEARS, and I really love how amazing she is as a friend. It felt really cathartic to hear her advice. She is genuinely listening to her friend. Both of you are great people, and I think it's great to talk about really deep things. It is taking away the stigma with mental health. Thank you for this episode❤️🙏🏻
These conversations are so important to be had and i'm so grateful you're sharing your thoughts publicly. It really resonates with me even as someone who is not in the public eye. You don't have to invalid your true feelings just because you feel you owe only happiness to your viewers. Thanks for putting yourself out there Alisha and being vulnerable ❤️
ALISHA OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN FEELING YHE EXACT SAME. i have been battling depression adhd and anxiety since i was in middle school and lately it’s been so bad. it got so bad that i had my first just random panic attack out of nowhere yesterday wHILE I WAS AT WORK and it was so bad and i simply cannot understand what is happening to me. my manager pulled me aside and i literally cried in her office for an hour and a half until i just left to go home. i also haven’t been able to get out of bed lately and my screen time is literally like 13 hours a day on youtube. i’ve been feeling lazy, worthless, and just like a blob existing in the middle of no where. it’s so so SO frustrating to not understand what’s happening and it honestly just hurts (especially when you are a enneagram 3 and infj like us ;)). i just want to thank you for being brave and talking about this because i don’t know if i could do that. you aren’t alone alisha and i’m not either. things will get better (hopefully) !! love you so much!! (also my fyp is the exact same thing lmao)
I’ve always loved Alisha, but I’ve never loved or related to her more than in this episode. And Remi, you’re an incredible friend. Seeing you two process this together was really special, and REAL. Thank you.
Girl, first off I love how real you are. I am not a creator but I understand burnout and the struggle to take time for yourself so well. You are one of my favourite creators and I am always stoked when I see your videos pop up, but I do not want to be part of the reason why you are struggling so bad. You need to take are of yourself and your mental health first. Number 1. Crying is healthy, and sharing is so necessary and so good to see. I love when creators share their struggles and their hardships because it reminds people like myself that everyone is human and everyone struggles no matter what. Keep putting your needs first Alisha, the viewers that love you will be there if/when you want to come back. Love you ♥
This episode has me so close to crying. I truly understand what Alisha is saying. You are not alone and it’s okay if you need to take a break ❤️
alisha you are so loved 🤍🤍 thank you so much for opening up and thank you remi for being a great ass friend and listener, love how y’all can help eachother it’s adorable, alisha your feelings are so fucking valid. don’t be so hard on that, feeling are feelings and that’s you!!! we all love u and glad to be on the journey to finding yourself 🥹🥹
Thank you so much for making this video. My eyes were bawling throughout this video and it feels comforting that someone else is experiencing some of my thoughts and emotions. It takes a lot of bravery to open up and it was absolutely refreshing and inspirational to see this.
Alisha, i cannot say enough how much i understand what you feel- even not being an influencer myself. i too struggled with that aspect of "these generations have the outlet for this at the age i wish i had this resource". it's such a hard feeling to explain. but you verbalizing it resonated with me more than you know. thank you for being vulnerable with us. even if i'm one person, just know that your vulnerability helped this one person out. thank you, always sending love
Alisha, I went on the same journey as you through quarantine & I’ve been so thankful to follow along. Thanks for opening up! It’s not just an influencer thing to feel ungrateful, it’s just part of being human. But we wouldn’t expect our broken arm to just “fix itself & be grateful we don’t normally break it” and we can’t do it to our brains! Keep riding the self-discovery rollercoaster, I’m in the seat behind you with my arms up just survivin’ 🙌
Also Remi- thanks for being such a wonderful listener! The things you said to Alisha resonate with me too & it means a lot!
i have been going on these waves of depression for the past 6 months too. for me its just spiraling hard core every other week and not able to do anything when it happens and then feeling like shit for wasting time. i cried listening to you talk so harshly about yourself because i do the same thing and its so sad 😥 you will get through this. thank you for sharing 💛
don't be so hard on yourself you will get through this ❤️❤️.
Alisha is so relatable during this pod. I’ve seen her vlogs where she talks about her mental health but this, this was deep. And I appreciate it! I love how Remi was literally the best human about no judgment. You two are amazing friends and blessed to have one another. Love you and thank you both for this! Thank you!! ❤️💙
I resonated so much with what Alisha said about not caring and not wanting to talk to people because it’s too much effort. I love deep talks, and do many others do too. It’s so validating knowing that someone else is going through it too and knowing I’m not alone. I love you guys.
Small business owner here! Also feeling this way lately. This helped me so much on getting some clarity for my burn out. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. I was listening on Spotify but had to come over to let you know your impact ❤️
I feel like this was the best episode yet for me. I am an anxious depressed 15 year old girl who is burned out af from taking 2 AP classes freshman year. I felt like my brother is taking AP classes.Why am I struggling so hard. I resonated with everything you said, and am struggling so hard. You will be okay. You are loved. You are so capable of obtaining every goal you set your genius mind to. Set the goal of freedom. You might be free by law but you have to find yourself to be free of yourself.
LIDA!!! We absolutely love the book talks, love the amazon hauls, love your content and who you are no matter what!!!! We whole heartedly support your mental health & decisions! We love u so much! You are doing so much for your viewers💛 whether you want to take a break or post a book haul/video, we support you 1000000%! Thank you for being a light💛💛💛
this was the first pretty basic episode i'd listening to in awhile and i'm so happy i did. Alisha & Remi, thank you for reminding us that things we all feel are valid and it's okay to be gentle with ourselves, even when it's hard to. alisha, you will always be a badass youtube girl boss. keep putting yourself first and surrounding yourself with people who love you.
Alisha you are punishing yourself for changing and wanting different things. You are growing up and getting to know yourself as you are now.
This episode truly was so inspiring. I know you probably won’t see this, but thank you so much for this. Hearing Alisha going through what she’s going through and putting into words how I’ve been feeling for the past six months helped me so much to understand how I’m feeling and seeing that i’m not alone. Also, Remi you’re so appreciated as well!! Felt like you were being my friend in this episode too, like giving me advice and just being there. Thanks for being so real!
Thank you so much. I am not in a great place right know and you made me feel less alone. I truely do appreciate how open you are with your struggles and I hope you feel like yourself soon. Sending you loads of hugs 🫂
And Rem!! Your words resonated with Alisha, as well as many listeners. I needed to hear some of that as well. Thank you
When Rem was telling Alisha that she’s always wondering if she’s ok *CUE THE TEARS 😭* The genuine care along with me always wondering if people wonder if I’m ok 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Beautiful video guys. So necessary. So relatable. Just ugh. I loved this episode. I needed this episode. Also, you guys friendship has always been so beautiful to me, but after this it’s just ….. I have no words. Love you guys. ❤️
I cannot thank you enough for uploading this and being so candid. This is an aspect of life that nobody shows. Sometimes there isn’t an easy fix or solution and it’s one of the hardest things that nobody shows. Thank you Alisha! We love you and we’re here for you
I have never related to a person more! Thank you for vocalizing this topic. "I don't feel like myself" "I have been a lot gentler on myself" "this is who you were". YES! All those things I struggle with right now! Big life changes really do turn everything on its head. This was a conversation I needed to have/ listen to! Thank you.
Everyone needs a friend like remi to show you a way out. Finding hobbies is hard, wenn you feel like you don't know yourself anymore. But her homework and her tips are so helpful and practical! Love it!
i cried right along with you alisha. we all get what you’re going through and if you need to take a break we will just binge/rewatch your vlogs and main channel videos in the meantime!! take your time queen!!
Thank you Alisha, thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us for how the reality of this lifestyle is and how it can become too much. We needed this. Sending you so much love ❤️
The past year I dealt with my dad having cancer and it would have been so nice to see you cry and talk about your experience while I’m crying and going through it too. Love you both❤️❤️
I relate to this soooo much. Thank you for talking about these things. I’ve been feeling up and down for months and now I feel less alone 🥺🥺
Alisha, I’ve watched you for so so long and you’re one of my favorite TH-camrs. I’ve felt this exact same way lately and it’s so great to know someone as successful as you struggles as well. Thank you for your honesty. Just want you to know your job is absolutely not useless and brings us viewers so much joy! Love you and Remi! Thank you for your realness 💕 I hope you feel better soon.
Alisha opening up and saying how she's been in a rut for what feels like a while(even being blessed w being an influencer) just goes to show how everybody goes through their own mental problems. right now im feeling like I don't know what my life even is cause im only a server. But I agree with Remi I would watch Alisha eat a bowl of cereal speechless on an hour loop and feel so comforted . just cause Alisha has helped me since I was in middle school
Alisha is about to go through a spiritual awakening!! I know the break down hurts girlie but it's beautiful to see a catalyst happening before our very eyes, thank you guys for being vulnerable 🦋💗
I have never related to something so much in my life. This is a podcast I will listen to over and over again whenever I feel like this! Alisha I genuinely love watching videos of anything. Some of my favorite videos to watch are the ones that are of people doing their everyday life. No craziness just literally them doing dishes or laundry or what ever. I love those and I watch for you not what you are doing 🥰💕 keep doing you I will support both of you no matter what
This was by far the best episode I've ever listened to (and this I scoming from someone who LOVES the boy talks) As someone that struggles with mental health, listening to someone else talk about their issues and someone who is so driven and motivated is so so impactful. Not only (I hope) is Alisha feeling a lot better after this episode but I feel SO much better and in a healthier mindset. Hearing Remi talk about having a gray space just made me want to take things as they come and go along the flow. And that is NOT who I am lol. Everyone needs a Remi in their life! Love you two and your dynamic so so much. I hope you guys are genuinely doing good
This was genuinely so encouraging. A breath of fresh air. And shouldn’t take away from it being about Alisha’s benefit and mental health most, but the conversation was so clearly raw and tough and real-time processing. Grateful for friendships like these in the world and Alisha, girl, take whatever break you need haha. Nobody important’s judging. ✨💕
A book haul is something I’d genuinely be interested in watching
This episode was top tier - the friendship communication is incredible
Alisha, I want to hug you so bad right now.
Just because you aren't fulfilled with your content it does not mean you're ungrateful for the opportunities you've had. You can be grateful and acknowledge your privilege and still go through it- having good opportunities does not equate to never being allowed to need a break, or not be fulfilled, or not post. It doesn't matter how "good" or "easy" someone's life is they are not exempt from depression, anxiety, and other just regular old bad days. You shouldn't feel guilty for not feeling well. Honestly I think it's helpful to your audience for them to know that MONEY AND OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT MAKE YOU INFINITELY HAPPY. Yes, you are blessed, but you also are sad- and that's okay.... that's normal. That's life.
Some of the best advice I ever received is that it’s important to feel purpose in your life but that it’s okay for your career to not be your purpose. I think society puts so much pressure on us to be constantly career driven and to think that our jobs have to mean the literal world/be our sole purpose but you also exist outside of work and it’s okay for a job to simply be a means to afford putting food on your plate and for you to find purpose in other ways whether that is through friends, family, hobbies, etc. I’ve really tried to reframe my thinking to be less “live to work” and more “work to live” and it’s been life changing. Not to say your career can’t be your purpose but it’s comforting to think how you can find meaning to life everywhere and that your worth or purpose is not measured by your career.
Alisha, you are so not alone and please know that you are loved and supported
I can’t tell you how this video is EXACTLY my thoughts and feelings literally but I’m not big enough of a TH-cam channel so I can’t imagine the pressure and thoughts but know that I’m praying for you and please know that this message and conversation is truly healing and keeping me feel like oh I’m not alone and it’s really okay. Thank you please keep these real conversations. It actually is growth
alisha- i loved this episode. i resonate with so much of what u said regarding depression. Its truly is so confusing to navigate like one day is so happy/chipper and then out of no where theres a big gloomy cloud over your head the next day and you just feel so empty and blue for no reason. today was a cloud day for me so it was really nice to hear to speaking so candidly about it. this was the first time i felt like i could REALLY relate to you. your words really helped me take a minute to reflect on everything today. sending so much love your way chica💗 also love you too remi 💗
I cried with you Alisha😭 we love you so much and we will always be here for you no matter how long your break will be🤍
I’ve been watching Remi and Alisha since I was in middle school, I’m 25 years old now and both has been such a huge movement in my life. Seeing Alisha get so sad it breaks my heart. Honestly if she takes a month break I want her to be happy at the end of the day 💕 Also we stand Hype Girl Remi for being the friend everyone needs! I luckily found my “Remi” in my life. She came at the right time and everyone deserves to have a Remi to their Alisha 🥰💕
I don’t feel like I struggle with depression at all, and I STILL have breakdowns and feel bad about myself because I can’t get my life together.. so hearing this real talk makes me feel like I’m not the only one! Please don’t feel down on yourself or like you were just complaining.. you were just being real which is so rare on the internet! Thank you besties 💛🧡
Alisha I’ve been watching your TH-cam for a decade now and I want to say the way that you’ve grown your channel and not only that but built parallel apparel and buying your parents a new home you’ve done so much that you should be proud of. And being a subscriber who has been around for many years we care about you and all of you especially when it comes to mental health and depression when you don’t take yourself seriously by putting yourself first. Alisha I say this with the most genuine human to human and not creator take all the time you need to find who you truly are we want to see you and see you being authentic with yourself we all love you 🥹❤️🥺
alisha, you’re so focused on thinking about either the past or future that you’re literally draining yourself. the best thing you could do for yourself is to live in THE MOMENT. be present in the moment. as soon as you start thinking about the past or future; SNAP OUT OF IT! :/ i know how difficult it can be but also if you train your mind to be present then everything else falls into place easily. you’re doing amazing and if you need a mental health break, please take it. We will always be here waiting for you cus we care about you
Alisha,
You need to hear this. My sister’s life was stolen 10 days before Christmas last year and it turned my world upside down. But watching your vlogs specifically helped me cope through the worst time of my life. I love you so much and for all that you do. Even when you don’t post I just watch your old videos and it brings up my spirit. So please don’t feel guilty you’re doing a good thing for us all. ❤️
These are some of my favorite episodes! At the end of the day we all feel this way at some point and it’s sad that influencers are looked at to just be perfect and have their shit together. Normalize not having our shit together and bringing more awareness to burnout. I love this podcast and I love how real you guys keep it. I love knowing that I’m not alone 💗
This whole entire month I’ve been dealing with a breakup. I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been myself and I’ve been so depressed. This video just helped me and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Thank for being vulnerable with us
This was genuinely one of my favourite episodes these things are so important to talk about and I just want alisha to know that her feelings are valid and we will always be here for her
I agree 100%. One of my favourite episodes
also now going through the second most severe depressive episode of my life. the first one was 4 years and I'm so scared that it will go so far.
thank you for this episode!
alisha i never felt the same way i feel waves of anxiety and depression in my life but once i started tracking my anxiety throughout the day and writing down when i have anxiety attacks or panic attacks its helping me a lot
Alisha, I’m 27 and I have always been a happy, carefree person - until this year. I have these depression episodes where I just don’t want to be here anymore then a few days later I’m out and about smiling and laughing - so I know what u mean when u say it feels so stupid - it’s like “am I being dramatic?” “Am I exaggerating?” Idk, I think it has to do with the fact I’m an adult and I am still trying to achieve financial stability, freedom and establish my OWN life - but I can’t due to many outside factors out of my control. And so I just try to do what I can for now but don’t worry, you’re def not alone…. ❤️
Seeing your videos on my subscription page during the workday and looking forward to watching it when I’m relaxing that night literally gets me through really rough and bad days at work. Your jobs are way more important and hold way more value than you probably realize.
I completely understand you Alisha. I’ve been there and my mom challenged me to find what really makes me happy. It could be the smallest thing like coffee making me happy but take the time for you and find what brings you joy. Take care of you 💜
