I love your vlogs! You're so real and try not to hide things that can help others. But I also enjoy how you don't let everyone know everything in your life. You have found a great balance and I look up to you. Every time I want to quit, I just watch one of your videos and I get super motivated. Keep it up and stay healthy!
As someone who has dealt with Chronic health issues for years, I am so moved to see your video! I just started looking into social media management as a career option that I can do from home that can accommodate my health struggles and I came upon your content and I have been eating it up. Thanks for your transparency! It’s very touching to those of us who are in the same boat!
✨”shake shake shake…shake your turmeric!”✨
Love your transparency and perseverance Latasha!! 🙌
I’ve been following you for the past two years, I appreciate these kind of videos. We all go through things and it’s nice to have a platform to be able to share things. I hope all goes well and I’ll continue to support your channel
Thank you for posting this! Ironically watched this from bed as I'm sick with the same "controversial" flu 😂 I had it for the first time in 2023 like you and it was horrible. I was terrified to get it again and here I am! It's hard because everyone had such different symptoms. As a business owner, I try tell clients and students what I have and some people just don't get it or say things like "yeah I've had that 6 times already". The guilt when you feel like you should be doing more work is real. But we gotta cut out the noise and focus on our own health because thats most important at the end of the day :)
I can somewhat relate to your situation, it makes me think of when I took my hair extensions out in September and spiraling from it because of my self image. My hair became so thin and fragile it made me panic. My husband, hair dresser and anyone I would ask about my hair said I looked fine and it felt like I was crazy. I didn’t enjoy that period of my life at all. Here’s to continued strength and recovery ❤️🩹
LOOOVVVEEE your vlogs and all the realness!! I watch almost all your videos, and honestly, I haven't even noticed your eye situation and low energy. But now, watching this video and hearing what you have gone through the past few months made me just so amazed and inspired by your commitment and professionalism! You're amazing! 🫶
This is what resilience looks like. Thanks Latasha!
Love this vlog, Latasha. It's such an important part of the freelance life that doesn't enter into the conversation as much as it probably should. From my POV, you've been killing it. I'm sorry it's been such a complicated several months for you, but I do hope you're on the mend. 💜
love that photo of us and i'm sorry knowing you weren't feeling your best that day 💛 sending you so so much love & healing, i'm sorry to hear the sty came back and you haven't been feeling like yourself. really hoping the new doctor works out and is able to help 💛
Covid is rough and with so many different symptoms amd outcomes it's hard to figure out. But keep going at your own pace. You give us a lot and even once a week there is always a great to walk away with and add to your own work.
Thanks 👍 Latasha for being honest and showing that you are human. People need to remember that a human being is behind every UA-cam channel and it isn't appropriate for people who aren't qualified to give you advice regarding physical health or mental health issues that is for your local GP or medical professional to give advice on. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💗 Latasha.
Get well soon 🙏🏾💕
So proud of you for dealing with life's bumps the way you are. Love you and Norris. ❤❤
I don't comment a lot but I wanted to say thank you for voicing everything so openly. I feel like as a freelancer/business owner everyone has this perception that your life is perfect and that you don't have any right to complain or be depressed, etc. That's so not the case. You're still human, dealing with human struggles on this planet. It definitely makes me feel less alone on this journey ❤
I love, love, love your vlogs! It feels like chatting with a friend. Can't wait for another one. 🥰 And I hope you would feel better soon! 💛💫
Whenever something affects your mind or your body, it's impossible to escape. You can't step out of yourself, and sometimes we forget that, both about ourselves and others 💖
thank you for sharing your experience with us and helping us heal these parts of ourselves as well
Yay! The Vlogs are back! I’m looking forward to more of them, along with your repurposing content video. I just want to say a huge thank you for being very open in this Vlog and in general. You’re very transparent and its very courageous. Your channel is the first video came up when typing marketing, I’m in my marketing journey because of you and your influence in your amazing videos. Your very motivational and have so much integrity it’s inspirational. Thank you for continuing to motivate me week after week. Remember do what you want to do, follow your heart and listen to your gut. Thank you Latasha for everything 😁
Part 2 - 90 Day fiancé is an amazing show, you go and watch it and have a blast. I had many styes on my eyes and I understand how you feel, thank you for being so brave and letting all of us know. We here for you #LatashaClan
Love your vlogs girl! Glad to see them back. Also, I am so grateful to you.... I'm glad you are sharing this.
Get well soon, Latasha. Thank you for being real and relatable 😊
Vlogs are my fave content you make too! So sorry to hear more about your health issues -- they sound really hard to deal with! It was really cool to hear you open up about what's going on so transparently. As someone who also deals with chronic illness/disability, it was very refreshing! Glad you're getting specialized care now. Hoping for a speedy road to recovery for you
Thanks for a new vlog, I LOVE these! ❤
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell for so long. I’m glad to see you’re on the road to recovery
Love that you’re vlogging again
Aww sending you a big hug Latasha! 🤗 It's actually refreshing that you're not just showing us huge launches and jetting off to Bali. 😉😊
Hi Latasha, thanks for being vulnerable and giving us a window into how you've been. As someone who struggled with styes, I empathize. Take care of yourself. I'm excited to see whatever the next stage of your journey is.
first of all, i’m glad you’re taking time to heal. i hope you don’t have to experience anything like that again! second, the naturopath situation is soo frustrating. i wanted to go to one but because it’s out of pocket i couldnt and it’s like ?!!! why is this system this way 😅
Loved this vlog! Could you please talk more about balancing private life, health, social time and freelance life?
Thank you for your lovely blog and all content you put here on UA-cam ❤
Going through health challenges myself it is hard to accept that maybe it will not be like before and things had changed ..... time to slow down and really pay attention where I put my energy to and what makes me happy.
Glad to hear you are going back to 1to1 consulting because it makes you happy. As in this age we may feel pressure to do more, make more money instead of making enough and do what we love.
I love your vlog.. Always take care of yourself ❤️
I really enjoy your vlogs. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love your vlogs! I really hope you start feeling better. And I appreciate your rant about the American health care system. My husband has had ridiculous recommendations from his rheumatologist - and interestingly - very little discussion of diet, stress, his job that exposes him to terrible chemicals. Anyway, I appreciate your willingness to share that you've sought out alternatives. I'd love to hear more about how you repurpose content for Norris' travel business.
Hey you've been through a lot! Wishing you the best and I appreciate your content since I am a beginner SMM.
Thank you for being so open and sharing something I’m sure so many of us deal with. I am having a similar personal issue that is preventing me from taking some big steps in my career and your video is helping me to see this as a season, not a sentence. Thank you! Also, so exciting to hear about Noris’ business. I’m actually going on a Virgin Voyages crew for my birthday this year because of yalls awesome reviews/video. My first time ever on a cruise, so let me know if he needs a testimonial!
I absolutely love your vlogs and weeks in your business, but happy to wait longer between posts if it means you’re putting yourself first!
Thank you so much and ahh, I’m so excited for you! You’re going to have a blast. Just send me a message if you need any first time cruising tips, I had so much fun! ❤️
Hey La! Love your vlogs! I really felt like that beautiful sun energized you even more than you already are! We in Michigan appreciate the sun especially in March! Love you!❤
Whoohoo! So pleased you liked my comment. I was about to go to bed and saw your vlog pop up and decided to get cosy and watch it and then saw me lil comment pop up on screen 😁
I appreciate your transparency about slowing down and I’ve seen a lot of people / UA-camrs saying the same thing. I think it’s a good example for people to remind them to set boundaries with work for health reasons.
After I became a mum, I burnt out trying to juggle motherhood and career and ultimately after 3 years I’ve decided to take a step back from the hustle for a few years. I’m still working but nowhere near what I was doing and so career is on a bit of a pause at the moment and it’s something I struggle with even though it’s the best decision for now.
It’s reassuring to see even the most productive of people prioritising health and balance because as a society we don’t do that enough and it helps others who have had to make similar choices / decisions.
All I have to say is I love the message and happy to hear you're finding answers to improve your health. Sending an abundance of positive vibes to you and your family.
Thank you so much, Rob! Appreciate you 🙌🏽
Hello Latasha, thanks a lot for sharing your journey. I've been dealing with LPR since November 2024 and it has been really hard as an agency owner.
It's been a roller-coaster too as my condition is correlated to stress and anxiety and as a business owner and content creator it's hard to reduce the level of stress.
I sympathize with you and know how it's hard to be in front of the camera in those times when you feel unwell both inside and out.
I wish you a quick recovery and thank you again for sharing. I feel less lonely
I’m so sorry to hear you’re dealing with health issues, too. You’re exactly right, managing stress as a business owner is tough but I know it’s one of the few things I can be most in control of right now so I’m trying to lean into rest as much as I can. You’re definitely not alone! Sending healing energy your way ❤️
@@thelatashajames Thank you for the kind words Latasha 🙏❤️ trying to rest as well and I feel you when you say that you're not in the boss lady, grinding era. I'm learning to be mindful and let go of many things.
Until the next video, see you 😉
I just cant miss A Latasha vlog, Work with me, venting, what I eat in a day❤
The magical formula ✨🤭 Thanks for being here!
It is great to see the personal side a bit and know that even those who appear to have it all together deal with the ebbs and flows of life. It's so crazy. I'm sending healing vibes. I was so grateful to start working on SEO projects with a Naturopathic Doctor. I would love to find 10 clients working on health and wellness to develop content. It is inspiring to seek things that help us build our resilience. We all need it. I definitely need some diet inspiration as well! :)
Glad your getting better 😊 and silly shows do make the world go round 😂
Please keep vlogging! We do care
Best wishes girl ❤ for me after the vid I loss hair extreme it’s been a journey it’s been 2 years of (ugly ) in my opinion and the mirror was not my friend. You will heal my holistic Dr. helped a lot. Thanks for sharing!!!
I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling too. I really believe beauty comes from the inside out so no way you could ever be “ugly” ❤️ Thanks for your support and healing vibes your way, too!
After dealing with a bad thyroid episode my eyes were never the same. It is so hard when parts of your body that you like and that others can see change drastically. People have told me: when you wear your glasses, you nearly cannot see it! So I absolutely can relate to what you're saying. I can only work 50% and I also have a hard time not comparing myself to other freelancers and my old self. A friend of mine has long covid too. She had to give up her job and it"s just so hard. Also here in Germany, doctors just don't know how to help her and she also went to a natural person who helped her holistically. Big hug to you!
So sorry to hear that about your eye issue and your friend’s illness. It really is tough to navigate alongside work and conflicting medical advice. Thanks for sharing your story and sending a big hug back ❤️
Aaah Latasha!! I switched to my main account so I can comment haha.
I’ll try to TLDR my situation but basically, I got post-infectious IBS at 22 years old that is triggered by stress. I’ve also had seasons of recurring infections and stye’s where I was given endless antibiotics at a time I did not have insurance or the means to afford care (height of COVID and could not find FTE). I get very anxious thinking about those times and now use that anxiety to continue to fuel my ambition to work towards financial freedom and a flexible schedule and make the money I want one day without feeling hopeless about caring for my health. It’s so disheartening how much this healthcare system defaults to treating symptoms instead of understanding the root of issues. A lot of the recurring infections I had were cured once I stopped taking antibiotics and let my body rest.
I guess what I want to say is that I empathize with you so much and I absolutely love your vlogs and feeling like we can get to know you here. We care about you and want to see you well. Thank you for everything you do and please rest as hard as you’ve worked ❤
It still ended up being so long.
Sorry 🤦🏽♀️😂
No need to apologize, I love long comments! Thank you so much for sharing and sorry you’ve had some health struggles as well 😞❤️ Your kind words really mean a lot and are so insightful. I agree, whenever I am truly resting, my issues start to clear up. Hoping to lean into more of that energy this year!
Oh man, my son gets that same recurring eye thing it DID start after the vid. Wow, maybe I should take the same approach as you because he had other things I thought were unrelated but I didn’t consider it could be part of an autoimmune issue. We too saw various drs and eye doctors with no solution. Thank you
oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear he's been dealing with this. I will be definitely keep you all updated once I get test results and try some holistic changes. so far, I've been eating as much of a whole foods, anti-inflammatory diet as possible and my symptoms have calmed way down. 🤞🏽fingers crossed it stays that way!
I always love a fruit bowl>>>
Only a few minutes in on the video, bu I couldn’t eat kiwi for years after having the stomach flu when I was 6-7 and had just had kiwi before having one of the hourly puking episodes lol. So, so happy I got over that taste bud trauma!
Hahaha oh no! I had a similar thing happen with animal crackers when I was a kid 😆
@@thelatashajames haha yeah then you know! 😆
You're beautiful.
Why would you assume it's effects of c0v1d? Very well could be v@xx damage. I hope you get better, physically and mentally.
Hi - I knew someone would comment this and it’s really hurtful to read. I usually look forward to your comments, but this one is dismissive of a very real situation I and many others are in. You don’t know my jab history, viewpoints, or any of my additional health details like testing I’ve done and personal medical history. I asked that we’re all mindful of that in the video and wouldn’t just make this up.
Thank you for being so transparent and honest about this 🤍it feels like the world has pretty much moved on from 2020 and it's really isolating when you're someone who is part of a vulnerable population or dealing with long-term effects from this illness trying to still care for yourself - especially while being a solopreneur without a team to rely on. Please continue to care for yourself; staying happy and healthy is priceless and so much more important than producing.
