what did you think of this very honest q&a? ❤
Love that you’ve always been so honest!
Oh yes I do. ❤ Thanks a lot for being you and honest.
Damn girl!
Hm. I think the first question that was answered should have been it's own video or reel etc because it was 13 mins long and felt like 3-4 other questions could have been added in that 13 min financial portion. I was waiting for the sponsored by ___ and fast forward to just get it over with
but thank you for taking the time on answering questions. ❤
Love how honest you were about financial stuff, it's really refreshing and interesting to hear!
I so appreciate you breaking down your income! We love a girly who doesn’t gate-keep 🙌🏼
❤❤❤
Thisss!
I was a single mom with my daughter. When she was 3 years old, my grandma set me up on a date with her best friends son… and now we’ve been married 5 years and have added 2 boys to our family. It really can happen… I also have a great relationship with my ex and his wife and co parent really well. We never went to the courts and I have a great relationship with my ex’s wife. My kids and my ex’s new kids even play together and are all friends. My husband adores my ex’s family and they also have a great relationship. I know it sounds like a unicorn story but my point is.. it really does exist. And you are a beautiful soul and so full of love and deserve the best! I’m rooting for you and I just know your story will be just as beautiful as you are!
I just want to say that I could listen you to you speak for hours. You have such a beautiful energy about you and your views on life are so refreshing. I too have a little girl and love the special bond we have together. I was also an only child and had such a great childhood and bond with my mom. You are a wonderful beautiful person Brittany. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much ❤️
Couldn't have said it ANY freakin better!!!!!!!!!
I love hearing about your mom journey - I feel the same in so many ways!! Especially the one-on-one bond with my only, and the strong pull to have more children about 1 year postpartum that has since dissipated (my child is also 3 years old). Motherhood has been a crazy journey so far, and I know this is only the beginning!
You have grown into one of my favorite content creators❤️ I have a 2 year old and I found your channel when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was so anxious about the whole process of bringing another life into this world and your videos brought me a lot of joy and peace. Thank you for being so honest and keeping it REALLY real. I never buy products that are created by influencers but I’ll buy anything you make haha.
Love your content and how open/honest you are! Thank you for being you! ❤
Okay can I just say how much I appreciate and respect you for sharing your income info and everything you mentioned in detail. It’s always nice to know specially for people who are interested in starting and having somewhat of an idea on how stuff works and not Gate keeping. You’re amazing! Thank you 😊
You talking about your daughter is making me tear up 🥲 my son is 2 and it’s really inexplicable. Loved this!!
Yo thank you so much for talking money like this. It's so refreshing to hear your experience in this much detail. Super generous and cool of you.
THANK YOU for explaining content creation!!! I’ve always been SO curious and no one has explained in such detail. You da best!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Brittany your spirit is so bright and genuine, please could you do a video on how to stay positive and keep your heart open? ❤
i’m so excited for whatever you’re looking to release!!! whatever it is, we want it! 😂
So appreciated this breakdown!!! 🎉
No, thank you for all the years!! Im here since the begining 😍
Loved this and love your hair here! Been watching you since around 2011 and I’ve always been impressed with your consistency and how you’ve always just stayed yourself. 🩷
Your transparency is why you’re the only UA-camr I follow! 👏🏼
You are such an inspiration to me! Thank you for all your insight! Looking forward to your product launch🥰
So informative! Love how open and honest you are! 💕
❤❤❤
I’ve been here since the colorful hair era ❤ amazing to grow with you, even though it only online lol
About dating, I’m not a single parent but what I see single parents (specially my friends that are moms) is that you have to meet the person to know if they’re nice to be in your kid’s life. Like, of course they say they have their kids and that their kids are their priority, so if the other person accepts that and still wants to go out with them, then they will get to know that person to see if they are someone they can trust enough to be in their life as a whole, including your kid. It’s not easy 😅
Yay spill alllllll the tea! 🤩🤩
You know I dooooo ❤
Q & A very well done Brittany! Thanks for always being completely open with us especially the business side of things. I had no idea that some parts of social media even existed
I’ve always thought becoming a content creator on UA-cam was much easier back then! I started my channel almost 2 years ago (which isn’t that long, all things considered), and I always go back to my love for it. If the passion wasn’t there, I wouldn’t still be doing it. You have to really love it. I’m so glad you kept at it. I look forward to your content every week❤
Thanks for sharing your experience with the financial aspect of influencer life with us. I found it really interesting :D
Thanks for answering my question! 😊 Your entire video was very open and honest. I feel like I learn so much from you in every video
I love and appreciate your honesty with your finances. Even though its becoming more normalized to talk about money, it still feels very scary doing so! But its soooo helpful to hear how everyone is handling their finances, so thank you for sharing that!
Really loved your honesty !
You are such an inspiration, wishing you the best❤
Also, my sister is a single mom and met her boyfriend through friends. He also has his own kids which has been the best thing for her. Try to ask all your friends if they know anyone they could set you up with!
Queen of transparency
This was really interesting! Thanks for being so open. Also that color blue looks amazing on you!!!
Love the transparency. Wish more content creators did this!
Loved the in-depth look into revenue streams and income as a full time UA-camr! I’ve always had a curiosity about how people make that work.
Also my 2 cents on finding someone decent to date … instead of apps, why not try volunteering and serving in your community? So many good hearted people volunteer to serve others so the chances of meeting someone worthy of entering your daughters life would be higher 😘
So raw real open & honest, as youve always seemed to be & i just love it & cannot thank you enough for it! Wish wish soooo wish there were more out there exactly the same...unfortunately ive realized thats often times not so much the case! Freakin love you-keep it up girl youre f'n AMAZING!!
THANK YOU 🫶🩷
Wow appreciate your transparency! This is really helpful for people curious how content creators make a living, thanks for sharing ❤
Being separated by states and leaving my daughter with her father is always thee HARDEST part! Seeing her cry and miss me and me being so far away is heart breaking. If it’s gets so bad I hang up to cry because I just can’t take it …..
Part two! Part two!
You’re the best. So happy for your success over the years. Have watched you since the beginning. The scrapped makeup campaign made me sad! 😭 I know you probably put so much heart into it! The inconsistency with the influencer life is probably exhausting sometimes but loved hearing the breakdown. So interesting
You’re so beautiful in and out ❤️ I’ve been watching you since I was 18 I’m 27 now! I was always loving your style and watching your life change over the years! I don’t have kids but I still lovee watching your vids! Rooting for you 🌱
Love seeing your follower count go up and up! You’ve earned all of them! 😘😘
Every. Single. One! She's freaking fabulous! Love her! Could totally listen all day....podcast perhaps?! How cool would that be?! 🙂
This video wqs great. Thank you for always being so honest with us.
Thank you for breaking down your income. I am getting started creating content myself and it’s So helpful to hear transparency
I feel the same way like i’m so content just me and my two little ones I can’t imagine fitting in someone else after finally getting into a routine that works for us and learning to be so independent it would feel like starting over with no guarantee especially after having been engaged before 😩
Love this 😊
I just discovered your channel and I love it . Thanks for all the helpful tips ❤
Absolutely love and respect your honestly so much 🤍🤍
I’m a single mom by choice, so no co-parent, and I think it’s really interesting the hardest part of co-parenting for you is the time spent away from your kid! I didn’t even think of that. I often think it would be so great if someone could take my kid for a while
You’re amazing!
Thank you 🥺❤️
You are a great speaker
The way you described not seeing a man who is good enough for your daughter was perfectly said! I agree with you completely! P.s I love a good Moscow mule in a copper mug 🖤
You should make us a playlist! ❤
I remember finding Fineshrine by Purity Ring from you back in the day.
Love you and your videos ❤❤❤❤
You are awesome ❤
Thank you for sharing
My casual F buddy introduced me to his friend. Now I've been with his friend for 5 years 😂
He's been raising my son with me and is amazing
You look so cute!!
Great video would watch anything you post to be honest Hahha keep up the great work 🎉 ur doing amazing mumma 👏👏👏
this was a really good video! you spoke so nicely lol 😅
What would you do outside of content creation? Just curious!
Yayyyyy!!!!
Ohhh toddler matching mama clothes againnnn??? I would love now that I have a toddler
When I think about it in years…my son is 4, and as a 50/50 co-parent..by the time he is 8 I will literally miss 4 years of his life. It’s ..kinda torture 😅
Pina girlieessss
Definitely a. Comfty girl. So I'm excited
Omg a sweatsuit?!? Would love one made by you!
Maybeeee 😊
I’ve found my drink friend! I’m the exact same way with casamigos and I love a good Moscow mule. However I might switch the pina colada for a nice margarita 😂
do you still have your matching sweat sets/clothing company?
I ended up meeting my now fiancé at my best friends birthday party a few years ago! I was far from looking for anyone at the time but my friend had a new boyfriend I had only met once, and he invited HIS best friend to her party. We instantly connected but I was very adamant nothing was going to go anywhere cause I was not in the right place in my life. We had a summer fling and then went separate ways…. Til 1.5 years later we reconnected and less than a year together we’re having a baby and engaged to merry next year.
I also have a son who is 10 and I swore if I found anyone, it’d likely be after he was grown and graduated.
Life is completely unexpected and I NEVER imagined actually finding someone in the wild but it really does happen! Even when you never go anywhere like myself also 😜
I misheard you and thought you said “gummy queen” i was like oh go girl you are launching weed gummies 😂😂 COMFY queen- makes more sense
Hahhaha omg
Do you have any courses or content creators you’d recommend who share information on how to be a content creator? If not you should start your own!
I am one and done much to my mother in laws disgust. Its great because i get to spoil my one and only and give him undivided attention 😊
Even if you feel done with having children she might not be an only child. If her dad ever has another kid she will have a sibling. Personally I absolutely hated being an only child always and still do. It even sucks as an adult now knowing I will never get to be an aunt and when I have kids they will never have an aunt, uncle or cousins on my side since I have no siblings.
wow you really broke down content creation i’m sure that’s helpful for a lot of people !
What year where you in a Superbowl commercial? Very cool!!
I feel the same about my son. I can’t visualize a man in my son’s life either. Too many weirdos out there. Btw you look so beautiful!
One of my best friends is an only child and she married a man who was also an only child. They have 1 kid. That kid has no aunties or uncles and it makes him really sad because everyone else has these beautiful big families. Plus her parents have passed, so literally the only people in her kids life are her partners parents that they have a terrible relationship with and have never even met her son. I know you can't plan for someone elses life, but I definitely see where "only child is a lonely child" comes from
I hope it’s size inclusive ❤
Being a content creator sounds exhausting! Definitely not for everyone. Good for you! Single parent for 9 years. I don’t want to date anyone. I love hanging and doing stuff with my kids. Let’s normalize being single by choice.
Try some pea protein from vega babe!
Like Jellysmack?
I don’t go anywhere either so I guess I’m waiting to meet someone in my house 😂
the pink sauce girl could take some serious advice from you regarding finances.
How are you surviving on 80-120k in California? You rent a really nice house & have nice things. Just seems crazy for cost of living in California.
I know this video is a few days old so you may not see this comment, but my thoughts are if you're wanting to look for a person who is family minded, good values, kind and loving, looking for someone in a church would be a great place! Obviously I recognize that you might not share values, but I will say that gentlemen who are single and attending a church often are family minded and are taught young on to care and love and sacrifice for the women and children in their lives. Just an idea! Blessings to you, your daughter and her father ❤️
Where do you live now?
Have you ever thought about starting a podcast?! Like giiiiirl, i could 100% TOTALLY listen to you ALL DAMN DAY LONG! FOR REAL-NO JOKE! Swear you do a podcast & its all 🤑 from there! Betcha! Omg gonna keep 🤞🤞....just pray youd even have the time for it! Sure would be f'n awesome...just sayin! 😋 love ya girl 🫶
Exactly. You are a co-parent and you are single. You are not a single Mom. Use the right term, girl.
www.champlain.edu/student-life/student-services/single-parents-program/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20definition%20of,of%20their%20child(ren).
@@brittanybalyn I think you are a beautiful mom and person. It's just not the right term for you. You even corrected it yourself. Single Mom is used for Moms who have to act as both parents, for whatever reason. It's more clear if you use the right terms.
And you can take it or leave it but here is my two cents. Why put it on your bio? Why make it a thing? Are you trying to appeal to "single moms?" You are not a single parent. You have a problem with your daughter, you call the father, right? He takes her half the time, right? You are close with his new girl, right? She knows your daughter, too, right? It sounds to me like you have a beautiful situation here and WHY NOT act Grateful! Why not BE REAL. The only thing that makes you "single" is that you don't have a lover and you are not with your baby's dad. Sure, you have a lot of responsibility as the sole parent for whatever portion of the week that you have her, but that was YOUR choice! Just trust me, the real single Moms out there are in a very different situation. They have NO DAD WHO CARES (or Mom if it is a single Dad) to call. If they were to make an instagram or a UA-cam about their singleness it would be about analyzing the pains of not having another person to share the love of the kid with, or about how beautiful it can be WITHOUT anyone, and about resources with how to deal with the psychology, etc. So, I ask you, what purpose are you doing this for? To me, it doesn't serve your dating life, your kids' life, or your baby daddy's life. I think it's misleading and erroneous. I love you as a person, a spirit, a mom. But call it like it is. SHARE YOUR GRATITUDE...and your struggles as a co-parent. I'm not saying one is better or easier but SAY IT LIKE IT IS. Don't go around advertising your dating status as who you are. Is this all a game for you? You don't use your real name. Just think about it before you defend yourself so stupidly and blindly. And lastly...be YOU. @@brittanybalyn ...and whether you believe me or not, I am truly saying this for YOUR OWN GOOD. Your psychology would feel better if you were more honestly representing yourself online. Just think a little more about it with an open mind before you start shooting links. You're not showing your daughter, you're using click bait like titles about showing her and than not...to me, you should revamp and make your channel more accurate about yourself...find new ways to relate to people. You've mentioned so many interesting things that you could dive deeper into...like your family history and other things...just be real and you will be happier. Trust me that this is coming from an honest and good place.
She is a single. She is single and a mom lmfao you literally explained it yourself
Actually, LOL, she explained it herself that SHE IS NOT. @@SL-xw4sf And, LMAFO, you should listen to her response more completely. this chick is lost right now in her ego.
I feel like the “how much you make” should be a whole different video lol
When I asked on IG which Q’s out of all of them people were most interested in - this was number 1. I did talk about it for long a time - but I wanted to give the most extensive answer! ❤
Aww I don’t have instagram !
But thanks for explaining on UA-cam ❤
I really don't recommend sharing your income info in any form
Love you and have watched you for over 10 years but I had to skip past the first 10 min of this video because there’s nothing I care less about than how an influencer makes their money lol.
60g protein meal brit!
two servings banza pasta
2 chicken sausage links. traders has good ones
and i do a little bit of Raos alfredo and done crunchy chili garlic
i think it’s over 60g tbh so bomb
I think people need to not be so damn sensitive on a technicality of wording. Can’t say anything without offending someone nowadays. @brittanybalyn , I think you did a wonderful and extensive job at answering your viewers question. Love your content. Keep on keeping on girly 💕
As a single (non coparenting) mom to a two 1/2 year old, i would say the hardest thing is the lack of support and the abandonment. Having zero support from the father really does put you in a constant bought of guilt. I know I would probably never feel bad just asking his father for help because like, its his dad 😂 but only being able to get help from my own parents or paying for a sitter does either cause guilt and feeling like a burden or needing to pay money. Its hard. The financial abandonment is a whole different pain. Not only did that person abandon you physically but also financially sometimes.And its hard with how expensive everything is now. Feels like you get paid and it disappears 🫠 people really downplay and throw around the term “single” parent and use it when they have beautiful coparenting relationships but the reality of being truly singular in this journey and never having extra hands in this experience is truly something you cant understand unless your in it. Someone you loved suddenly just not caring about you or your child anymore.
100%, co-parenting doesn’t make you a single parent
@@nora14190 www.champlain.edu/student-life/student-services/single-parents-program/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20definition%20of,of%20their%20child(ren).
@@brittanybalyn My point is you’ve got another person to rely on and financial support as well. A true single parent doing it on their own is 100% responsible for everything and that in itself is the hardest situation for both that parent and the child(ren) involved. It’s just an opinion, no need to get petty about it with a link to the definition of single parent 😂 Sweetheart, I wouldn’t wish this situation on my worst enemy.
@@brittanybalyn Hi! Ill start by saying I love your content and when I was pregnant and throughout my journey as a single mom its been extremely helpful especially when it comes to self care! We are all entitled to our own opinion and I by no means want to diminish or minimize your experience. Coparenting clearly comes with challenges or obstacles as youve been vulnerable enough to disclose and im sure all of us are greatful for it! I do think its important to remember that alot of technical definitions dont necessarily line up with what things are like out here in the real world and I think its important to take it upon ourselves to distinguish the clear and obvious different between a single and co-parent in life. There are levels. And while nobody is fighting to be in a difficult spot I do think that when it comes to defining someones experience - I could never say im a coparent so I personally dont think a coparent should be able to say they are a singular parent when there is more than a singular parent in the picture. Financial and physical absence of the other parent is something a coparent could never understand and a single parent could never understand having another supportive partner around that takes on their responsibilities with grace. Im so happy you and your daughter have that tho ❤️
Comment to help the UA-cam algorithm 🫶 love you
I'm happy for your transparency🙏🏼 I'm a MD and in my country I do approximately 32k $ per year, poor us 🥲
