Update: We’re simplifying the name to “The Schultzzie Collective”! Our first name was similar to another business and we wanted to prevent any confusion. Excited to continue sharing this project with you!!
Here is a video suggestion for the holidays. The group do a secret Santa, but they can only shop from strictly small businesses taking their secret Santa into account, of course. That can bridge the gap a little bit from your older videos into what your new videos now represent.
I love that you felt safe enough to admit that you were tired and your channel needed the change. I'm proud that your friends all stepped up and helped with the rebranding. People need to understand that UA-camrs are people first and their lives change overtime, to be honest and real with their viewers, they have to be willing to adjust with the channel they are watching. Change and growth a big and exciting things, they don't have to be scary.
For larger group videos I would suggest making it a series. For example, the color analysis, everyone got rushed through but if you did a couple each video each person would get a chance to shine and keep you as the narrator through the whole series for constancy.
I couldn’t understand why people were so shocked by the main channel change!! But then I remembered that I watch the vlog and listen to the podcast religiously 😂 but I still can’t understand how other viewers can’t see how much your friends ADD to the channel, I think it’s changed for the better and honestly feels more natural and fun because you all bounce off each other ❤
I think keeping smaller groups and bringing the whole group in for certain occasions would work better. As a subscriber since 2016, one of my favorite aspects of the channel has been the fashion content, I think it would be great to see more style centered videos with different themes ( very much like the Disney bounding one!) maybe one video each month could be more style centered and the other could be the other activities. I think it would add great balance!
Wait, are you aware that there already a podcast and community called the confident collective?? I’m actually a subscriber of theirs and here’s their podcast synopsis: Two plus-size models & body activists here to get real and candid about living your most confident life. Get ready for powerful conversations that will leave you laughing, motivated, and inspired. The name and messaging seems extremely similar? Idk.
I feel like this should have been posted to the main channel so people know what's happening and why everything is changing, Sierra said herself in the video that main channel-only viewers are probably confused
Hi Sierra! I think one of the things we miss is fashion content.. maybe try that with the group? Like trying on fashion nova on 6 different sizes! Something like that? I think it’s a good way to connect the two channels ❤
As someone in your age bracket that has been following several creators and groups for a long time, I’ve really enjoyed all the new content and the rebrand. I was a big fan of Ladylike on Buzzfeed, and when it dissolved I was disappointed, but this has given me similar vibes. I get it might not be for everyone, but I really enjoy following different journeys and perspectives from a group of women that I genuinely feel like I’d be friends with. I also think about the career changes and shifts I’ve had in my life so far- and the fact that you’ve been in this career for long I’m sure it’d start to get stagnant and you’d need to pivot eventually. Cheers to the new chapter of the main channel!!
I'm honestly not loving the new channel exactly because it feels like buzzfeed lol And I would watch those kinds of videos when I was 16, now Im 23. But I understand where Sierra's coming from with the rebrand, I just dont really like the vibe anymore :(
@@anna.beatrice That's too bad. I really like the "team" vibe, and the upbeat, wholesome approach. Sierra still has her vlog if you want to see more of just her.
can i just say how awesome it is to see all these women supporting you, the collective, your efforts, etc. and working so well together. it's completely refreshing and not what i see a lot of on youtube, so kudos for picking such a strong team!
Thanks for including us. If you feel comfortable, I'd love to see a part two from a business owner perspective. For example, how do people feel about being both behind the camera and on camera talent? Has compensation changed? How do things change with Nick, your manager? Is everyone an influencer now?
You need a curtain for each girl - whichever color is their best and you can use that for their individual interviews ❤ LOVE the concept of the rebrand - a collective of girls on a confidence journey is what we ALL need!
I have watched your channel from the beginning and absolutely love the difference throughout the years. Time changes things, people grow, you're doing amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I genuinely don’t mean this as a dig or anything, but why not post this on your main channel where the majority of your audience is still confused (your words)? Unless you’re planning that already, I feel like it would clear up a lot of confusion🤷🏻♀️
The problem I run into with the group videos is that it seems like there is constant jumping around from "main video" clips, to "confessionals", from one person to the other, and it's just a little unenjoyable to follow especially when the videos are all 30+ minutes long. The reason videos like the bra video, or even the disneybounding one, worked is because it would primarily focus on one person for a chunk of time, then the next, etc., without having to circle back to five different people's POV over and over. Plus, when people film in their own spaces sometimes the sound and video quality isn't great :/ I think if the editing and organization of videos was tightened up more, and focused on no more than 3 or 4 people, that would help a lot.
Thank you- this is really helpful feedback! We’re still experimenting and figuring out what works and what doesn’t, so this is really great to take into account what direction we want to move in for future videos. The burlesque video goes up Friday and I’m interested to hear your thoughts- we did away with the scripted “confessionals” (like in the posing video) and had everyone answer some open ended reflection questions (like in the treadmill video), but the video is primarily focused on the footage from the day of the experience. We’re hoping this can give more insight to our thoughts and feelings about / during the class, without coming across too scripted or jumpy. Let me know your thoughts when it’s up!
And yes to the smaller groups! That’s been a common piece of feedback, so most of our videos will be a cast of 2-4 on a rotating basis so that everyone gets more of a chance to shine and the viewers can follow along through the video better, with a couple special videos every now and then featuring larger groups.
I agree. i'm glad they're not doing as many scripted interviews in the next video because it felt very cheesy. I'm excited to see what the future looks like
I really admire you, Sierra, for being able to take the (sometimes not very respectfully communicated) feedback on the new style of the channel and respond to it really graciously. I am pretty neutral on the change but it helps to hear you explain where it came from and how excited you are about it. Thanks for continuing to make videos for us, I really love having a glimpse into your life 💓
Nobody loves change, so I see how this is difficult for many viewers (including me)! But I’m here for you! Changing and growing with a group has challenges, but I’ll be here while you all figure it out. 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who heavily relates to Jess and definitely sees myself in her, seeing her in front of the camera and with such a big smile on her face made me emo as heckkkk. You gals are definitely my comfort creators and I’m so excited for the rebrand 💓
Thanks for explaining the new direction of tbe channel, I'm glad ot works for you and makes you and the team happy. The new era is personally not what I'm into watching. I love your vlogs and podcast, and will continue to follow you here. Nothing but love to you and i hope it works out ❤
I think it’s hard when everyone is talking over each other and laughing really loud. It’s get chaotic and almost a sensory overload to watch a group video. I enjoy the videos where it includes just one other persons journey along with yours. Any videos with too many people it’s almost like you’re watching a group of people that you don’t know have a good time together with their own inside jokes rather than having quality time with a friend you know yourself if that makes sense.
I love the new channel concept. Just some feedback, sometimes I feel like when the group is bigger we don’t get enough in-depth time with each of the girls. Maybe on those bigger group ones you could even look at doing a two part series Because I’m sure that everybody wants to be a part of those amazing videos.
I CAN'T STOP SMILING. And I might sound like a dork, but there were definitely moments of this video that made me tear up. When you were hyping Jadyn up and you could just see her confidence grow..ugh my heart! Thank you for creating an environment and community for women to support one another and love themselves. I've learned how to love myself from watching your videos and I can't wait to see where this rebranded channel goes. You're truly an inspiration. ❤
This might sound weird but I’ve watched Sierra for years and it’s really empowering to see her doing what’s enjoyable to her. You can just tell she’s happier than ever ❤ it’s really inspiring for someone who has seen myself in her for years to succeed and be a mother. I’ve struggled with my mental health, but Sierra proves that you can do anything you set your mind to. ❤❤❤
Sierra!!! I got chills when you were explaining the meaning behind the new channel name. I'm so proud of you for listening to your needs and finding creative ways to continue this channel. So excited for what is to come!!!!
I have to say i like the team videos a lot but like many others i do miss your old content sometimes because that’s how i found and connected with you. i think this type of explanation on the main channel would really benefit the main channel viewers and maybe even do a video dedicated to getting to know the new team because some people might only watch the main channel and be very confused. saying this with love because i love all ur channels but i’m just trying to look at it from a different persoective
I am 1000% here for the confidence collective! I have been loving the direction the channel is going in and everyone seems like genuinely awesome people. Keep up the amazing work! 💖
The Vlog channel comments make me feel so much safer than the main channel lol You are doing great things Sierra! Don’t let anyone make you doubt that❤
I love everything so much! I feel like Sierra really sparkles when she’s with her friends and it has been so much fun getting to know and love each of the new girls. Love the photo shoot, love the new set, love it all!
The group content isn’t for me. I don’t feel like I know the others involved, maybe I missed an introduction video? And, maybe this is just my anxiety, but the high energy, shifting camera angles, so much loud talking and laughing from off camera, is off-putting to me. I wish you the best and will stick around to see if any changes happen that make the content more consumable for me.
I think one issue with the internet is that no matter how hard one tries, you cannot accurately convey the tone of something over text. That being said, please know my feedback is meant with the upmost respect. I’ve been a huge fan of both of your channels for YEARS but this most recent rebrand just doesn’t related to me and as such I haven’t found myself as interested in watching main channel videos, vs the vlog I see a woman around the same age and in the same stages of life as myself which is what makes it fun to watch. Additionally, I often find the main channel videos to be forced and inauthentic which keeps me from enthusiastically tuning in the way I do with vlogs.
It's a small thing, but Sierra telling Jaydn "that's what you look like" is something that I think everyone sometimes needs to hear. That was such a sweet moment.
I think the new channel name is perfect! My feedback is so far my fave group videos have been bra fitting and sunrise swim. The sunrise swim reflected something I saw people comment on other videos - it really brought back a casualness to your channel that had gotten lost in the more scripted large group vids. It felt a lot more like we were hanging out with Sierra, now just with more faces :)
I love the rebrand! As a long time viewer of both channels, I loved watching this evolution. I’m so happy you get to not only avoid burnout, but share this joy with your friends
I love you Sierra!! I’ve been a long time subscriber and I know your life has changed so I understand and I’ll take whatever content we get 🤭We can always look back and watch the old videos if we want but I really love the new main channel content!! The podcast is amazing too, I never miss an episode. It’s fun and I love how you guys do different things that I don’t usually see on UA-cam.
I’m so glad you’re keeping your name in the channel! For all the work you personally put into making the channel what it is, I’m happy you’re still giving yourself the credit you deserve🩷 can’t wait for this next chapter!! Edit: I just finished the video and I’m SO EXCITED you’re doing a Halloween costume try on!! They were always my favorite
When I tell you I was so confident that the name was going to be "Sierra Shultzzie's Cinematic Universe" ... I will accept the image Jess created on a t-shirt as a consolation prize
Love the change, but like the other comments recommended, I think you should reference this video in the description of the next couple videos on the main so that your more casual subscribers can watch this video to better understand the change! i've noticed the change in the past 6 months and been loving it so keep it up!
love this channel and your team so much. i dont comment much but ive been watching every video for the last 5 years and loved watching you grow and the channel expand, plus the vlogs of your family brighten my day every time you upload!
It's been so fun and fascinating being able to watch your shift throughout the last year as you found joy in the main channel again! And to me, it's clear that it's been a positive and happy change for you personally and professionally. It gives you a more defined work/life balance, and allows more privacy in the vlogs for your family life. I can't wait to see what comes next!
I gotta say I was so shocked to find out that there were people who didnt enjoy the group videos as much as I did!! I forget how much I see on your vlogs vs how much is shown on the main channel, so it took me a while to wrap my head around but the beautiful thing about being your own person and really sticking to what makes you feel good is the fact that not everybody is gonna LOVE IT but what truly matters is that you enjoy it genuinely & that’s what matters to you at the end of the day. It really resonates with me and makes me love your content even more!!! I’m alllll in for these group videos and this rebranding, I’m so glad you guys are too! Thanks for being such a genuine soul Sierra & the team! You guys are truly worth watching & rooting for. ❤❤
I appreciate you explaining and am proud of you for honoring what was best for you and your family. While I can’t lie, I do miss this dedicated Sierra videos, like you said the group content into for everybody and that’s ok. I hope maybe some individual videos can be sprinkled in one day but if not, I’ll continue supporting you even if I don’t watch every video now. Love you Sierra!
I am loving the new style of videos on the main channel and I think it’s great you are switching things up and rebranding. Seeing different experiences, opinions and body types is really empowering. You have a great group of women by your side!
Just want to say how perfectly you managed to frame this with kindness and such excitement. I've been watching the new main channel content and loving it (I do prefer the smaller groups where you try an experience out). I have noticed the comments have been...less than kind in the past few weeks. I don't know that I could have had the patience to explain that I was doing what I loved as calmly as you did, especially in the face of some truly rude pushback on the main channel videos. People need to understand that content creators are not waiters serving you exactly what you want; they get to follow their passions and balance their lives however they want to. Feedback is one thing, but man, particularly the comments about the team were brutal. Anyway, I just want you to know that people are on your side and your own joy matters more than almost everything else.
I prefer it back before the rebrand BUT I am happy if you're happy! I am just glad your still uploading there! Love you. Edit: oh wait there hasnt been a video under the rebrand yet? Never mind lol. If its more like how it was with your solo videos but with the group thats exciting i cant wait to see! I cant wait for your old style of videos to come back, i wasnt as much of a fan of the videos like you posted last video.. but this looks exciting!
I am dying to see the group try a few matching outfits, even with kids/ partners included with size inclusive brands for the holidays! Matching sweaters/ pajamas would be so adorable 🥰
Video recommendation! I loved the videos you did with lisbug where you showed what a piece of clothing looked like on two different sizes. Now that we have so many more girls with different body types, it’d be fun to see that again but with so much more body type variation.
Love seeing you thriving and happy and love seeing the amazing female friendship you guys all have, how you hype each other up and support each other. I was honestly surprised not everyone was onboard with the rebrand, as a vlog watcher it seemed like such a natural move. Can't wait to see what's next!
I have been loving the rebranded videos!! I'd love to see a short "Blooper Reel" at the end of the videos, it helps make you all relatable, it would be so fun!! ❤ you're all such beautiful and inspiring people, thank you for being my safe place to decompress each week!
I'm glad this revamp with your friends make you happy. I honestly haven't enjoyed them as much as your older videos but its not about me. Me not watching doesn't make a difference but what does matter is that you are excited and happy. So glad you found the balance!
As difficult as change can be, it most often is necessary for so many reasons. I think you’re all going to thrive with all the wonderful changes you made. I’m looking forward to seeing your new style videos with you and your team.
I love this rebrand and getting to see the whole team! Been with ya since 2018 and of course your content needs to evolve with you. I personally love getting to see everyone’s reactions and especially getting to see fashion on different body types!
Hey Sierra! I've been subscribed to your main channel way back when! I used to love the content you put out and used to literally wait for your uploads. Also, your collabs used to be so fun too( the ones with Carrie and Skylar were my favorite). I am not opposed to the channel rebrand and I totally undestand that sometimes at work it can get tiring and frustrating. I'm so happy you found your groove again and you are surrounded by these amazing powerful women, but honestly, strictly sticking to this type of "group" content is making me skip videos. I don’t mind watching it once in a while. I get that many of her subscribers are feeling this way but was scared to give a feedback because some would say “if you don’t like it then don’t watch it “ which is exactly what i do! But I think to get the feel of what your audience wants to watch, we need to chime in! I also miss videos that focus on body positivity and fashion, like the ones you'd film at stores and such... Just a feedback, 'cause I've been missing your "main" channel videos
I am so excited for the rebrand. I absolutely love all your solo videos but can see the joy you’ve gotten back with the newer videos. I’m so excited for this next Era. Eeeeee
I love your videos!! I rarely ever comment on things because it’s like a shout in the void but your stuff is so inclusive and happy. I think the next steps are gunna be amazing! I think merch would be a cool thing to do with the whole confidence collective idea, maybe everyone can design or collaborate to make something to represent the change. Thank you
So happy you didn't leave UA-cam. Love the rebrand. So relatable and enjoyable to watch. ❤🎉 love the little blue long sleeved shirt u wore in 1st pic. Adorable
Eventhough I have loved watching Sierra’s channel for years now, the group videos since the beginning of the year have been even more fun and exciting to watch! There’s more dimension to the topic and it’s fun to see multiple personalities dealing with the challenges. The rebranding is a full success in my eyes! Congratulations Sierra and team 🎉 Some things I would love to see (more of): - styling challenges - group hike/camping in the wilderness - cooking/baking - learn a new skill/try a new hobby project - swap life experiment
Thank you for sharing this. I’m so excited for you and all the team. Growing and changing is a part of life, and so proud of you for recognizing that need to make a shift. And what a great way to pivot! Love the group content. So fun. 💖
So proud of you Sierra! I knew this change would be so positive for you all. Even though I will miss this chapter, you need to be mentally stable! That is the best! Cant wait to see more content in the future! Remember you are more than your work! ❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your videos for years, I’m talking DAILY for years… you’re my comfort channel 😂 I can’t stop re watching this vlog because of how obviously happy you are. I’m so so happy you found a way to continue your channel, while also including and supporting your friends. What a lucky group of girls to be able to work together out of your house. The growth in you individually and your channel has been so apparent, I truly feel like one of your friends too, and am just so proud of how far you have come! This new change is going to be huge for the rest of 2023 and into 2024. Sierra you really are such a light in this world, your content is relatable and real and genuinely enjoyable to watch. I love watching your team join together to make content! The bra fitting video and the skims try/on are the style videos I like, just to see how different bodies wear different clothing pieces to individually make everyone confident and hot is everything. Maybe some old school styling videos, like fall outfit inspo with each of your individual styles. Each of you trying a new/different fall trend. I think all your subscribers will watch anything you upload! Cheers to you getting your spark back! 🎉
I love that you take time to spend with these women and this opportunity to not just bring them along on your journey but to give them their own space to create, it's so hard when you get older and everyone's married with kids and barely have time for a coffee date, and it feels so good to watch women who are open with their struggles but also make time to be with their friends and create an environment where they can all be together and support one another. I love you girls and I'm so proud of you and I'm loving the content❤
love this rebrand!! obviously, you need to do whatever is best for you and your family, but selfishly I am so happy that you were able to find a way to make “main channel” content creation fun and doable for yourself again! i’m not a big vlog channel girlie, so while I am subscribed to this channel and do watch here and there, it’s just not my go-to type of content to consume, and therefore I am SO excited for this new main channel content. this group of ladies is wonderful and i’ve loved everything thus far!! ❤
Excited for this new Era for all of you and us! You seem very happy with your decision and that's contagious. One thought, I personally would have loved to see a video on the room transformations. Not trying to critique just maybe an idea for the future! You are all such bright lights in this world!! ❤
Sierra I’ve been follow you since your wedding content… I can’t believe it’s been so many years. You have always been a soft place to land on the internet and when I went through my miscarriage earlier this year I found myself going back to some of your old stuff and rewatching it… seeing you with grace now helps me remember things can change for me. That being said this new content with your group of girls has been the most amazing to me. I am introverted by nature and have always struggled with friendship… seeing how you girls all uplift each-other and have genuine connection leaves me hopeful that I too can find that kind of friendship some day! I love it so much and hope you all keep creating in the future! Thanks for all you do for your community 😊
I started watching this year when the whole group started to be in the videos and I just have to say that I love the vibes. It’s so fun and the relationships are so healthy. Y’all really represent what it means to have girlfriends and just have beneficial it is for mental health! Keep doing what you’re doing 😊💗
I think the change of direction of the main channel was needed. Sierra you are older, and life is different now, changed roles and interests. I wish you and all the girls used more of Instagram posing tips. Sierra, you are still just throwing your arm out. New pictures but could of been taken four years ago. I think you need to bring in some fresh eyes and perspectives because now you are all personal friends and have group think. Would any of you speak up if you didn't like an idea. Maybe a group session on communication and conflict resolution to know it's normal in business relationships.
I smiled the whole way through this video! I've been loving this new chapter and seeing the camaraderie between you all. It's inspiring and truly makes me feel less alone.
Hey there! I’ve been following along for years and you have tremendously supported me in my mental health and body confidence journey. Sending so much love!!!
I love this. I’ve been a subscriber since 2017, and I love seeing how you’ve grown and changed over the years, because that’s real life. Everyone changes over time, so it makes sense that your channel has as well. It’s so real and nice to see that you aren’t trying to force yourself into a previous version of yourself, and that you’re leaning into this current stage in life, even with your content. As someone who is in a very similar life stage, I know first hand how much having a child changes your priorities, and how it changes career and friendship priorities as well. I absolutely LOVE the new channel name, and I’ve been loving the group content. It makes me feel like the world is a bigger place, and a place that is more in tune with real life than back when we all first started watching UA-cam. The authenticity of it is very powerful.
you have always been my fav creator! youre real, transparent, kind, and authentic. I love seeing you excited about the content you create. at the end of the day, it's your channel. you make the calls. I can't wait to keep being a fan
Hey Sierra:) I’ve been watching for years and years, and I am so glad you are doing what makes you the happiest! I remember when you first started doing the group content, and I actually cried during the bra video. I thought it was an amazing display of friendship and empowerment, and everything felt very candid! I do agree with some of the other long time viewers that some of the videos have felt too structured and choppy. But that being said, I know it will take time for everyone to adjust to this new role. It is hard having so many viewers who are so accustomed to a certain style; and then to expect this new channel style (which is literally in it’s infancy) to match the quality of the OG style that took years to develop is insane. People have high expectations of you because you have always been amazing at what you do- and I know this will succeed as well- so please don’t be hard on yourself! I saw some of the comments on the most recent video with you and Rachel, and for “long time subscribers”, some of those people were absolutely brutal.
I‘m reading through the comments and want to chip in - as far as I can remember, I have been subscribed to you for a long time, then unsubscribed at some point during covid while always staying subscribed to your vlog and podcast channel. I was sceptical about new content popping up on the podcast but eventually LOVED IT (now listening to and loving every episode). That‘s the reason I came back to the main channel. ❤️👍 While I didn‘t like every „new era video“ I enjoyed a lot of them. Personally, I like the different perspectives that seem honest/authentic. I agree that too many storylines that run parallel on the videos overwhelm and confuse me. And the more professional/tv interview style I dont care for. But I‘m looking forward to what you guys put out next! x
Hi. Personally, i think it was a pleasant surprise. As a young lady in my mid 20s, seeing how you and the ladies interacted has been great. And seeing their perspectives as well, and how you all hype each other up has been awesome to watch. It's like a new way of seeing how women can be unique and work with each other well. I am really happy about the change. My twin sister has watched the channel before and after the change and loves it too❤
This team is an amazing group of people. Working for Sierra seems so incredible! Dream job! I love all these fun changes. It’s such a fun switch up to the main channel and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what each team member brings to the table ❤
I love to see you evolving the channel! While I loved your old content, I’ve grown up with you and life does look different and it warrants different content - thank you for sharing
I’m so excited to see what you guys continue to do! I personally enjoy seeing you all interact and getting the different perspectives of the activities that you do.
I haven't made it the entire way through this video yet, but I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on why you don't want to make solo videos anymore. I think that might have made you feel vulnerable to even say that (I would have felt that way) but also I wish you could have said that or presented it that way as a precursor to a video on that channel so that everyone had more of a clear idea of what that channel and those videos were supposed to be. I truly enjoy watching you, Sierra, but I think there are some wrinkles that still need to be ironed out and I love that you are being open to ideas. I think from a long time viewer perspective some of the group content videos come across as forced in a way that shows there isn't real chemistry between all of you and I'm sure it's not that way in real life but that's sometimes how it comes across. I will always stop by your channel at least for the forseeable future and I'm happy that you're happier on UA-cam.
I'm living for the new set!! And i cannot wait to see how the rebrand turns out. A suggestion: Maybe consider getting a cushion for the shorter girlies to sit on the talking heads room. I think the framing looks really gorgeous on Sierra, but it feels like there's too much headroom above Kenzie in the shot. I think the framing with the background looks so pretty though, so I thought an extra cushion or something could help bring everyone to the same eye level, which would be nice for continuity!
So excited for this new era of the channel! Your videos always make me feel so good and I love the whole team so I can only imagine how amazing this new content is going to be!
Im so excited for the rebrand! I was shocked by the number of people who were disappointed by it in the comment section of the last video. Ultimately, if you dont enjoy making the content, the content probably wont be very good & I've loved getting to know everyone else!
Seeing you and your tribe together makes me so emotional because it reminds me of my girls and how important cultivating and celebrating female friendships is!
Sierra i found your channel years ago, before I was even married, and to see your life now! it brings tears to my eyes! You are an inspiration to me as a mother, a wife, and just a woman creating her own mark on the world. I am a social worker by trade but became a stay at home mom a couple years ago and have been finding balance in still learning to make my mark in new ways and be present as a mommy and a wife! and you are a physical reminder that the balance exists. I just have to find it. I love you even though I've never met you.
So excited for the future of the channel. You’re my comfort creator and u make me feel seen as a 26 yr old woman 💕 I’ve been here through a lot of changes and I’ve loved it all 🩷
I think if you're going to fully commit to the rebrand and the group videos, you should rename the channel to Confidence Collective. Otherwise it's always going to feel like its your channel and your friends came along, VS feeling like the channel focuses on the group as a whole. Guess it just depends on the feel youre going for.
I appreciate this video so much -- I recently decided to step away from my own channel for a (maybe) permanent break. Even though I'm a teensy creator, I still felt so much pressure to churn out content to please the algorithm or people who expected certain videos, and it wasn't bringing me joy! That's a real thing, and it's definitely a good reason to re-examine your priorities!
Update: We’re simplifying the name to “The Schultzzie Collective”! Our first name was similar to another business and we wanted to prevent any confusion. Excited to continue sharing this project with you!!
Update the video description
Or simply be honest and say you changed the name since a very similar name is already trademarked 😅
This is passive language that doesn't take accountability for the reckless business oversight.
Here is a video suggestion for the holidays. The group do a secret Santa, but they can only shop from strictly small businesses taking their secret Santa into account, of course. That can bridge the gap a little bit from your older videos into what your new videos now represent.
Great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best idea!
I love that!!
I love this idea!!!
Yes or thrift stores!!
Video suggestion: draw names and go into each others closets and style outfits for each other without buying anything new.
I love this idea!!!
Love this idea 🎉🎉
I love that you felt safe enough to admit that you were tired and your channel needed the change. I'm proud that your friends all stepped up and helped with the rebranding.
People need to understand that UA-camrs are people first and their lives change overtime, to be honest and real with their viewers, they have to be willing to adjust with the channel they are watching. Change and growth a big and exciting things, they don't have to be scary.
For larger group videos I would suggest making it a series. For example, the color analysis, everyone got rushed through but if you did a couple each video each person would get a chance to shine and keep you as the narrator through the whole series for constancy.
Ooh that's an idea worth workshopping and exploring!
YES
LOVE this!!
💯
Good idea!
I couldn’t understand why people were so shocked by the main channel change!! But then I remembered that I watch the vlog and listen to the podcast religiously 😂 but I still can’t understand how other viewers can’t see how much your friends ADD to the channel, I think it’s changed for the better and honestly feels more natural and fun because you all bounce off each other ❤
I agree!! ❤
I think keeping smaller groups and bringing the whole group in for certain occasions would work better. As a subscriber since 2016, one of my favorite aspects of the channel has been the fashion content, I think it would be great to see more style centered videos with different themes ( very much like the Disney bounding one!) maybe one video each month could be more style centered and the other could be the other activities. I think it would add great balance!
Wait, are you aware that there already a podcast and community called the confident collective?? I’m actually a subscriber of theirs and here’s their podcast synopsis: Two plus-size models & body activists here to get real and candid about living your most confident life. Get ready for powerful conversations that will leave you laughing, motivated, and inspired.
The name and messaging seems extremely similar? Idk.
She follows one of them on ig so there goes the ignorance excuse 😬
Yikes!!!!
I feel like this should have been posted to the main channel so people know what's happening and why everything is changing, Sierra said herself in the video that main channel-only viewers are probably confused
Hi Sierra! I think one of the things we miss is fashion content.. maybe try that with the group? Like trying on fashion nova on 6 different sizes! Something like that? I think it’s a good way to connect the two channels ❤
As someone in your age bracket that has been following several creators and groups for a long time, I’ve really enjoyed all the new content and the rebrand. I was a big fan of Ladylike on Buzzfeed, and when it dissolved I was disappointed, but this has given me similar vibes. I get it might not be for everyone, but I really enjoy following different journeys and perspectives from a group of women that I genuinely feel like I’d be friends with. I also think about the career changes and shifts I’ve had in my life so far- and the fact that you’ve been in this career for long I’m sure it’d start to get stagnant and you’d need to pivot eventually. Cheers to the new chapter of the main channel!!
I was thinking the same thing! Non toxic Buzzfeed!
@@MissKathyG so on point haha
I thought „ladylike vibes“ as well but didn’t want to compare. But I‘m totally with you!
I'm honestly not loving the new channel exactly because it feels like buzzfeed lol And I would watch those kinds of videos when I was 16, now Im 23. But I understand where Sierra's coming from with the rebrand, I just dont really like the vibe anymore :(
@@anna.beatrice That's too bad. I really like the "team" vibe, and the upbeat, wholesome approach. Sierra still has her vlog if you want to see more of just her.
can i just say how awesome it is to see all these women supporting you, the collective, your efforts, etc. and working so well together. it's completely refreshing and not what i see a lot of on youtube, so kudos for picking such a strong team!
Thanks for including us. If you feel comfortable, I'd love to see a part two from a business owner perspective. For example, how do people feel about being both behind the camera and on camera talent? Has compensation changed? How do things change with Nick, your manager? Is everyone an influencer now?
I agree!
Yeah this would be super interesting!
You need a curtain for each girl - whichever color is their best and you can use that for their individual interviews ❤ LOVE the concept of the rebrand - a collective of girls on a confidence journey is what we ALL need!
I have watched your channel from the beginning and absolutely love the difference throughout the years.
Time changes things, people grow, you're doing amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I genuinely don’t mean this as a dig or anything, but why not post this on your main channel where the majority of your audience is still confused (your words)? Unless you’re planning that already, I feel like it would clear up a lot of confusion🤷🏻♀️
The problem I run into with the group videos is that it seems like there is constant jumping around from "main video" clips, to "confessionals", from one person to the other, and it's just a little unenjoyable to follow especially when the videos are all 30+ minutes long. The reason videos like the bra video, or even the disneybounding one, worked is because it would primarily focus on one person for a chunk of time, then the next, etc., without having to circle back to five different people's POV over and over. Plus, when people film in their own spaces sometimes the sound and video quality isn't great :/ I think if the editing and organization of videos was tightened up more, and focused on no more than 3 or 4 people, that would help a lot.
Thank you- this is really helpful feedback! We’re still experimenting and figuring out what works and what doesn’t, so this is really great to take into account what direction we want to move in for future videos. The burlesque video goes up Friday and I’m interested to hear your thoughts- we did away with the scripted “confessionals” (like in the posing video) and had everyone answer some open ended reflection questions (like in the treadmill video), but the video is primarily focused on the footage from the day of the experience. We’re hoping this can give more insight to our thoughts and feelings about / during the class, without coming across too scripted or jumpy. Let me know your thoughts when it’s up!
And yes to the smaller groups! That’s been a common piece of feedback, so most of our videos will be a cast of 2-4 on a rotating basis so that everyone gets more of a chance to shine and the viewers can follow along through the video better, with a couple special videos every now and then featuring larger groups.
I agree. i'm glad they're not doing as many scripted interviews in the next video because it felt very cheesy. I'm excited to see what the future looks like
Also agree! 15 minutes is my ideal vid length! Also I miss all the styling / trend/ fashion stuff!
I prefer longer videos! 30-40 min are great. I love watching during my lunch break
I really admire you, Sierra, for being able to take the (sometimes not very respectfully communicated) feedback on the new style of the channel and respond to it really graciously. I am pretty neutral on the change but it helps to hear you explain where it came from and how excited you are about it. Thanks for continuing to make videos for us, I really love having a glimpse into your life 💓
Nobody loves change, so I see how this is difficult for many viewers (including me)! But I’m here for you! Changing and growing with a group has challenges, but I’ll be here while you all figure it out. 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who heavily relates to Jess and definitely sees myself in her, seeing her in front of the camera and with such a big smile on her face made me emo as heckkkk. You gals are definitely my comfort creators and I’m so excited for the rebrand 💓
Thanks for explaining the new direction of tbe channel, I'm glad ot works for you and makes you and the team happy. The new era is personally not what I'm into watching. I love your vlogs and podcast, and will continue to follow you here. Nothing but love to you and i hope it works out ❤
I think it’s hard when everyone is talking over each other and laughing really loud. It’s get chaotic and almost a sensory overload to watch a group video. I enjoy the videos where it includes just one other persons journey along with yours. Any videos with too many people it’s almost like you’re watching a group of people that you don’t know have a good time together with their own inside jokes rather than having quality time with a friend you know yourself if that makes sense.
Yes its like being on the outside of a clique almost
100%. I find the loud group dynamic so overwhelming and it takes away from the focus of the videos.
I feel the same way
I’m confused because the confidence collective is a brand/podcast that already exist?
I love the new channel concept. Just some feedback, sometimes I feel like when the group is bigger we don’t get enough in-depth time with each of the girls. Maybe on those bigger group ones you could even look at doing a two part series Because I’m sure that everybody wants to be a part of those amazing videos.
100% Agree!
I CAN'T STOP SMILING. And I might sound like a dork, but there were definitely moments of this video that made me tear up. When you were hyping Jadyn up and you could just see her confidence grow..ugh my heart! Thank you for creating an environment and community for women to support one another and love themselves. I've learned how to love myself from watching your videos and I can't wait to see where this rebranded channel goes. You're truly an inspiration. ❤
This might sound weird but I’ve watched Sierra for years and it’s really empowering to see her doing what’s enjoyable to her. You can just tell she’s happier than ever ❤ it’s really inspiring for someone who has seen myself in her for years to succeed and be a mother. I’ve struggled with my mental health, but Sierra proves that you can do anything you set your mind to. ❤❤❤
Sierra!!! I got chills when you were explaining the meaning behind the new channel name. I'm so proud of you for listening to your needs and finding creative ways to continue this channel. So excited for what is to come!!!!
I have to say i like the team videos a lot but like many others i do miss your old content sometimes because that’s how i found and connected with you. i think this type of explanation on the main channel would really benefit the main channel viewers and maybe even do a video dedicated to getting to know the new team because some people might only watch the main channel and be very confused. saying this with love because i love all ur channels but i’m just trying to look at it from a different persoective
I am 1000% here for the confidence collective! I have been loving the direction the channel is going in and everyone seems like genuinely awesome people. Keep up the amazing work! 💖
The Vlog channel comments make me feel so much safer than the main channel lol
You are doing great things Sierra! Don’t let anyone make you doubt that❤
I love everything so much! I feel like Sierra really sparkles when she’s with her friends and it has been so much fun getting to know and love each of the new girls. Love the photo shoot, love the new set, love it all!
The group content isn’t for me. I don’t feel like I know the others involved, maybe I missed an introduction video? And, maybe this is just my anxiety, but the high energy, shifting camera angles, so much loud talking and laughing from off camera, is off-putting to me.
I wish you the best and will stick around to see if any changes happen that make the content more consumable for me.
I think one issue with the internet is that no matter how hard one tries, you cannot accurately convey the tone of something over text. That being said, please know my feedback is meant with the upmost respect.
I’ve been a huge fan of both of your channels for YEARS but this most recent rebrand just doesn’t related to me and as such I haven’t found myself as interested in watching main channel videos, vs the vlog I see a woman around the same age and in the same stages of life as myself which is what makes it fun to watch. Additionally, I often find the main channel videos to be forced and inauthentic which keeps me from enthusiastically tuning in the way I do with vlogs.
It's a small thing, but Sierra telling Jaydn "that's what you look like" is something that I think everyone sometimes needs to hear. That was such a sweet moment.
I think the new channel name is perfect! My feedback is so far my fave group videos have been bra fitting and sunrise swim. The sunrise swim reflected something I saw people comment on other videos - it really brought back a casualness to your channel that had gotten lost in the more scripted large group vids. It felt a lot more like we were hanging out with Sierra, now just with more faces :)
I love the rebrand! As a long time viewer of both channels, I loved watching this evolution. I’m so happy you get to not only avoid burnout, but share this joy with your friends
I love you Sierra!! I’ve been a long time subscriber and I know your life has changed so I understand and I’ll take whatever content we get 🤭We can always look back and watch the old videos if we want but I really love the new main channel content!! The podcast is amazing too, I never miss an episode. It’s fun and I love how you guys do different things that I don’t usually see on UA-cam.
I’m so glad you’re keeping your name in the channel! For all the work you personally put into making the channel what it is, I’m happy you’re still giving yourself the credit you deserve🩷 can’t wait for this next chapter!!
Edit: I just finished the video and I’m SO EXCITED you’re doing a Halloween costume try on!! They were always my favorite
When I tell you I was so confident that the name was going to be "Sierra Shultzzie's Cinematic Universe" ... I will accept the image Jess created on a t-shirt as a consolation prize
😂😂😂
Love the change, but like the other comments recommended, I think you should reference this video in the description of the next couple videos on the main so that your more casual subscribers can watch this video to better understand the change! i've noticed the change in the past 6 months and been loving it so keep it up!
love this channel and your team so much. i dont comment much but ive been watching every video for the last 5 years and loved watching you grow and the channel expand, plus the vlogs of your family brighten my day every time you upload!
It's been so fun and fascinating being able to watch your shift throughout the last year as you found joy in the main channel again! And to me, it's clear that it's been a positive and happy change for you personally and professionally. It gives you a more defined work/life balance, and allows more privacy in the vlogs for your family life. I can't wait to see what comes next!
I gotta say I was so shocked to find out that there were people who didnt enjoy the group videos as much as I did!! I forget how much I see on your vlogs vs how much is shown on the main channel, so it took me a while to wrap my head around but the beautiful thing about being your own person and really sticking to what makes you feel good is the fact that not everybody is gonna LOVE IT but what truly matters is that you enjoy it genuinely & that’s what matters to you at the end of the day. It really resonates with me and makes me love your content even more!!! I’m alllll in for these group videos and this rebranding, I’m so glad you guys are too! Thanks for being such a genuine soul Sierra & the team! You guys are truly worth watching & rooting for. ❤❤
I appreciate you explaining and am proud of you for honoring what was best for you and your family. While I can’t lie, I do miss this dedicated Sierra videos, like you said the group content into for everybody and that’s ok. I hope maybe some individual videos can be sprinkled in one day but if not, I’ll continue supporting you even if I don’t watch every video now. Love you Sierra!
I am loving the new style of videos on the main channel and I think it’s great you are switching things up and rebranding. Seeing different experiences, opinions and body types is really empowering. You have a great group of women by your side!
I’m so glad you found something to bring your passion back to the channel and am so excited to see what comes next 🥰
Just want to say how perfectly you managed to frame this with kindness and such excitement. I've been watching the new main channel content and loving it (I do prefer the smaller groups where you try an experience out). I have noticed the comments have been...less than kind in the past few weeks. I don't know that I could have had the patience to explain that I was doing what I loved as calmly as you did, especially in the face of some truly rude pushback on the main channel videos. People need to understand that content creators are not waiters serving you exactly what you want; they get to follow their passions and balance their lives however they want to. Feedback is one thing, but man, particularly the comments about the team were brutal. Anyway, I just want you to know that people are on your side and your own joy matters more than almost everything else.
I prefer it back before the rebrand BUT I am happy if you're happy! I am just glad your still uploading there! Love you. Edit: oh wait there hasnt been a video under the rebrand yet? Never mind lol. If its more like how it was with your solo videos but with the group thats exciting i cant wait to see! I cant wait for your old style of videos to come back, i wasnt as much of a fan of the videos like you posted last video.. but this looks exciting!
Sames!
I am dying to see the group try a few matching outfits, even with kids/ partners included with size inclusive brands for the holidays! Matching sweaters/ pajamas would be so adorable 🥰
I'm glad you found something you love to continue. Not going to lie: I miss Skylars presence and editing.
Video recommendation! I loved the videos you did with lisbug where you showed what a piece of clothing looked like on two different sizes. Now that we have so many more girls with different body types, it’d be fun to see that again but with so much more body type variation.
Love seeing you thriving and happy and love seeing the amazing female friendship you guys all have, how you hype each other up and support each other. I was honestly surprised not everyone was onboard with the rebrand, as a vlog watcher it seemed like such a natural move. Can't wait to see what's next!
I LOVE being taken behind the scenes and see the rebranding shoot and setup! This makes me even more excited for your new videos!
stop i literally almost cried when you revealed the new name!!!! so proud of and happy for you all, loving this new era!!
I have been loving the rebranded videos!! I'd love to see a short "Blooper Reel" at the end of the videos, it helps make you all relatable, it would be so fun!! ❤ you're all such beautiful and inspiring people, thank you for being my safe place to decompress each week!
I'm glad this revamp with your friends make you happy. I honestly haven't enjoyed them as much as your older videos but its not about me. Me not watching doesn't make a difference but what does matter is that you are excited and happy. So glad you found the balance!
As difficult as change can be, it most often is necessary for so many reasons. I think you’re all going to thrive with all the wonderful changes you made. I’m looking forward to seeing your new style videos with you and your team.
I love this rebrand and getting to see the whole team! Been with ya since 2018 and of course your content needs to evolve with you. I personally love getting to see everyone’s reactions and especially getting to see fashion on different body types!
Hey Sierra! I've been subscribed to your main channel way back when! I used to love the content you put out and used to literally wait for your uploads. Also, your collabs used to be so fun too( the ones with Carrie and Skylar were my favorite). I am not opposed to the channel rebrand and I totally undestand that sometimes at work it can get tiring and frustrating. I'm so happy you found your groove again and you are surrounded by these amazing powerful women, but honestly, strictly sticking to this type of "group" content is making me skip videos. I don’t mind watching it once in a while. I get that many of her subscribers are feeling this way but was scared to give a feedback because some would say “if you don’t like it then don’t watch it “ which is exactly what i do! But I think to get the feel of what your audience wants to watch, we need to chime in!
I also miss videos that focus on body positivity and fashion, like the ones you'd film at stores and such...
Just a feedback, 'cause I've been missing your "main" channel videos
I am so excited for the rebrand. I absolutely love all your solo videos but can see the joy you’ve gotten back with the newer videos. I’m so excited for this next Era. Eeeeee
I love your videos!! I rarely ever comment on things because it’s like a shout in the void but your stuff is so inclusive and happy. I think the next steps are gunna be amazing! I think merch would be a cool thing to do with the whole confidence collective idea, maybe everyone can design or collaborate to make something to represent the change. Thank you
So happy you didn't leave UA-cam. Love the rebrand. So relatable and enjoyable to watch. ❤🎉 love the little blue long sleeved shirt u wore in 1st pic. Adorable
Eventhough I have loved watching Sierra’s channel for years now, the group videos since the beginning of the year have been even more fun and exciting to watch! There’s more dimension to the topic and it’s fun to see multiple personalities dealing with the challenges. The rebranding is a full success in my eyes! Congratulations Sierra and team 🎉
Some things I would love to see (more of):
- styling challenges
- group hike/camping in the wilderness
- cooking/baking
- learn a new skill/try a new hobby project
- swap life experiment
Thank you for sharing this. I’m so excited for you and all the team. Growing and changing is a part of life, and so proud of you for recognizing that need to make a shift. And what a great way to pivot! Love the group content. So fun. 💖
So proud of you Sierra! I knew this change would be so positive for you all. Even though I will miss this chapter, you need to be mentally stable! That is the best! Cant wait to see more content in the future! Remember you are more than your work! ❤❤❤
Been loving the new content and am totally here for the rebrand! Happy that you are happy, and love getting multiple perspectives from the group! 😊
I’ve been watching your videos for years, I’m talking DAILY for years… you’re my comfort channel 😂 I can’t stop re watching this vlog because of how obviously happy you are. I’m so so happy you found a way to continue your channel, while also including and supporting your friends. What a lucky group of girls to be able to work together out of your house. The growth in you individually and your channel has been so apparent, I truly feel like one of your friends too, and am just so proud of how far you have come! This new change is going to be huge for the rest of 2023 and into 2024. Sierra you really are such a light in this world, your content is relatable and real and genuinely enjoyable to watch. I love watching your team join together to make content!
The bra fitting video and the skims try/on are the style videos I like, just to see how different bodies wear different clothing pieces to individually make everyone confident and hot is everything. Maybe some old school styling videos, like fall outfit inspo with each of your individual styles. Each of you trying a new/different fall trend. I think all your subscribers will watch anything you upload! Cheers to you getting your spark back! 🎉
Sierra now that Ugg’s are trendy again, can we get an ugg video?? Sierra tries Ugg platform slippers?? 😆
I love that you take time to spend with these women and this opportunity to not just bring them along on your journey but to give them their own space to create, it's so hard when you get older and everyone's married with kids and barely have time for a coffee date, and it feels so good to watch women who are open with their struggles but also make time to be with their friends and create an environment where they can all be together and support one another. I love you girls and I'm so proud of you and I'm loving the content❤
love this rebrand!! obviously, you need to do whatever is best for you and your family, but selfishly I am so happy that you were able to find a way to make “main channel” content creation fun and doable for yourself again! i’m not a big vlog channel girlie, so while I am subscribed to this channel and do watch here and there, it’s just not my go-to type of content to consume, and therefore I am SO excited for this new main channel content. this group of ladies is wonderful and i’ve loved everything thus far!! ❤
Excited for this new Era for all of you and us! You seem very happy with your decision and that's contagious.
One thought, I personally would have loved to see a video on the room transformations. Not trying to critique just maybe an idea for the future!
You are all such bright lights in this world!! ❤
Sierra I’ve been follow you since your wedding content… I can’t believe it’s been so many years. You have always been a soft place to land on the internet and when I went through my miscarriage earlier this year I found myself going back to some of your old stuff and rewatching it… seeing you with grace now helps me remember things can change for me. That being said this new content with your group of girls has been the most amazing to me. I am introverted by nature and have always struggled with friendship… seeing how you girls all uplift each-other and have genuine connection leaves me hopeful that I too can find that kind of friendship some day! I love it so much and hope you all keep creating in the future! Thanks for all you do for your community 😊
When you told Jayden, "That's what you look like." It made me tear up! I love the energy and love you all radiate. It's so pure and beautiful ❤
I started watching this year when the whole group started to be in the videos and I just have to say that I love the vibes. It’s so fun and the relationships are so healthy. Y’all really represent what it means to have girlfriends and just have beneficial it is for mental health! Keep doing what you’re doing 😊💗
I think the change of direction of the main channel was needed. Sierra you are older, and life is different now, changed roles and interests. I wish you and all the girls used more of Instagram posing tips. Sierra, you are still just throwing your arm out. New pictures but could of been taken four years ago. I think you need to bring in some fresh eyes and perspectives because now you are all personal friends and have group think. Would any of you speak up if you didn't like an idea. Maybe a group session on communication and conflict resolution to know it's normal in business relationships.
the return of the brutally honest reviews yess omg.. excited for the different perspectives 😁
I smiled the whole way through this video! I've been loving this new chapter and seeing the camaraderie between you all. It's inspiring and truly makes me feel less alone.
Hey there! I’ve been following along for years and you have tremendously supported me in my mental health and body confidence journey. Sending so much love!!!
I love this. I’ve been a subscriber since 2017, and I love seeing how you’ve grown and changed over the years, because that’s real life. Everyone changes over time, so it makes sense that your channel has as well. It’s so real and nice to see that you aren’t trying to force yourself into a previous version of yourself, and that you’re leaning into this current stage in life, even with your content. As someone who is in a very similar life stage, I know first hand how much having a child changes your priorities, and how it changes career and friendship priorities as well.
I absolutely LOVE the new channel name, and I’ve been loving the group content. It makes me feel like the world is a bigger place, and a place that is more in tune with real life than back when we all first started watching UA-cam. The authenticity of it is very powerful.
you have always been my fav creator! youre real, transparent, kind, and authentic. I love seeing you excited about the content you create. at the end of the day, it's your channel. you make the calls. I can't wait to keep being a fan
Hey Sierra:) I’ve been watching for years and years, and I am so glad you are doing what makes you the happiest! I remember when you first started doing the group content, and I actually cried during the bra video. I thought it was an amazing display of friendship and empowerment, and everything felt very candid! I do agree with some of the other long time viewers that some of the videos have felt too structured and choppy. But that being said, I know it will take time for everyone to adjust to this new role. It is hard having so many viewers who are so accustomed to a certain style; and then to expect this new channel style (which is literally in it’s infancy) to match the quality of the OG style that took years to develop is insane. People have high expectations of you because you have always been amazing at what you do- and I know this will succeed as well- so please don’t be hard on yourself! I saw some of the comments on the most recent video with you and Rachel, and for “long time subscribers”, some of those people were absolutely brutal.
I‘m reading through the comments and want to chip in - as far as I can remember, I have been subscribed to you for a long time, then unsubscribed at some point during covid while always staying subscribed to your vlog and podcast channel. I was sceptical about new content popping up on the podcast but eventually LOVED IT (now listening to and loving every episode). That‘s the reason I came back to the main channel. ❤️👍 While I didn‘t like every „new era video“ I enjoyed a lot of them. Personally, I like the different perspectives that seem honest/authentic. I agree that too many storylines that run parallel on the videos overwhelm and confuse me. And the more professional/tv interview style I dont care for.
But I‘m looking forward to what you guys put out next! x
Can I just say how joyful you all look! I’m thriving for the girl gang!
Hi. Personally, i think it was a pleasant surprise. As a young lady in my mid 20s, seeing how you and the ladies interacted has been great. And seeing their perspectives as well, and how you all hype each other up has been awesome to watch. It's like a new way of seeing how women can be unique and work with each other well. I am really happy about the change. My twin sister has watched the channel before and after the change and loves it too❤
Love the name, love the crew, love the channel and the message. Cant wait to see it all come to fruition! 🥰
This team is an amazing group of people. Working for Sierra seems so incredible! Dream job! I love all these fun changes. It’s such a fun switch up to the main channel and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what each team member brings to the table ❤
I love to see you evolving the channel! While I loved your old content, I’ve grown up with you and life does look different and it warrants different content - thank you for sharing
I’m so excited to see what you guys continue to do! I personally enjoy seeing you all interact and getting the different perspectives of the activities that you do.
nope i'm so excited. it's TOO good all of these amazing changes. I've been here since 2017 and just wow❤
I haven't made it the entire way through this video yet, but I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on why you don't want to make solo videos anymore. I think that might have made you feel vulnerable to even say that (I would have felt that way) but also I wish you could have said that or presented it that way as a precursor to a video on that channel so that everyone had more of a clear idea of what that channel and those videos were supposed to be. I truly enjoy watching you, Sierra, but I think there are some wrinkles that still need to be ironed out and I love that you are being open to ideas. I think from a long time viewer perspective some of the group content videos come across as forced in a way that shows there isn't real chemistry between all of you and I'm sure it's not that way in real life but that's sometimes how it comes across. I will always stop by your channel at least for the forseeable future and I'm happy that you're happier on UA-cam.
I'm living for the new set!! And i cannot wait to see how the rebrand turns out. A suggestion:
Maybe consider getting a cushion for the shorter girlies to sit on the talking heads room. I think the framing looks really gorgeous on Sierra, but it feels like there's too much headroom above Kenzie in the shot. I think the framing with the background looks so pretty though, so I thought an extra cushion or something could help bring everyone to the same eye level, which would be nice for continuity!
I've been LOVING the new format! You've always had such a great group of friends, it's so fun to watch
So excited for this new era of the channel! Your videos always make me feel so good and I love the whole team so I can only imagine how amazing this new content is going to be!
I love how supportive you all are toward each other. It feels genuine. There is so much mean girl culture going on these days with many influencers. ❤
Tearing up listening to the first part of this video, so happy you've found the spark again Sierra
This made me so happy to watch! So fun seeing you (and the collective) so excited about your work! Can't wait to see all the new videos!
Im so excited for the rebrand! I was shocked by the number of people who were disappointed by it in the comment section of the last video. Ultimately, if you dont enjoy making the content, the content probably wont be very good & I've loved getting to know everyone else!
Seeing you and your tribe together makes me so emotional because it reminds me of my girls and how important cultivating and celebrating female friendships is!
Sierra i found your channel years ago, before I was even married, and to see your life now! it brings tears to my eyes! You are an inspiration to me as a mother, a wife, and just a woman creating her own mark on the world. I am a social worker by trade but became a stay at home mom a couple years ago and have been finding balance in still learning to make my mark in new ways and be present as a mommy and a wife! and you are a physical reminder that the balance exists. I just have to find it. I love you even though I've never met you.
So excited for the future of the channel. You’re my comfort creator and u make me feel seen as a 26 yr old woman 💕 I’ve been here through a lot of changes and I’ve loved it all 🩷
I think if you're going to fully commit to the rebrand and the group videos, you should rename the channel to Confidence Collective. Otherwise it's always going to feel like its your channel and your friends came along, VS feeling like the channel focuses on the group as a whole. Guess it just depends on the feel youre going for.
Hard agree
I appreciate this video so much -- I recently decided to step away from my own channel for a (maybe) permanent break. Even though I'm a teensy creator, I still felt so much pressure to churn out content to please the algorithm or people who expected certain videos, and it wasn't bringing me joy! That's a real thing, and it's definitely a good reason to re-examine your priorities!
