    Brother, you have given us all so much encouragement in reselling over the years. It’s great to see all the love back to you in the comments. Keep your head up. Fellow girl-dad/reseller here.

    I am a single mom of three kids and we all have a genetic chronic health condition. I have always appreciated your videos! You are one of the three content creators whose videos I go searching for. When I saw that you hadn’t posted in awhile, I was concerned - I’m glad to see you back on here!
    Due to our health issues, I have been very slow in getting my eBay business up and running. But, given the election results, now more than ever I need to push and get things moving. I really appreciate the education and encouragement you give, as well as your commitment to your girls. Please take care of yourself and know that you are appreciated!

    I have your back, and love the idea of adding more real life to the channel. Life is hard. Talking it out helps. I have no children, but do have a chronic illness, work for a huge corporate entity that I hate, two elderly parents that I live far from, and my Husband is going in for shoulder surgery and will then be down for 6 weeks with only me to take care of him. Add in the holidays and it is all too much. Reselling is my happy place. Following your journey on this channel is a huge bonus and I thank you for it.

    Sometimes the best thing to do is talk. Don't keep things bottled up. It just gets worse. Remember, you have a huge family of viewers and supporters who are thinking and praying for you. You are doing great, don't let the bad thoughts win.

    Mental health and Burnout is becoming more common as we make interactions via video meetings, phone and text. Since COVID, we had been placed in that position and we became comfortable. We all need human interaction, friendships etc. Talk life!

And instead of just a reselling community, you'll also have a parent community who seeks like-minded individuals.

    Sometimes just saying out loud what is stressing you can be therapeutic. Keeping everything in is like a hamster on a wheel-it goes round and round and seems to never get resolved. We all have “stuff” so we can relate. I love the reselling content but am also happy for the additional content.

    I always appreciate your content both reselling and personal. You are such a genuine person, and it really shows in the way you communicate with your subscribers. This month was the 2 year anniversary of my husband's passing from Cancer very unexpectedly, so I understand being a single person trying to raise kids. Even though mine are older than yours, they still need me. It is obvious how much your girls love and need you. I know that is the most important thing, but self care is important too. We are always here to listen😊!

    I think it’s a good idea to head where you’re going with the channel, there are many, many people who are stuck at home alone for many different reasons, health, mental health, financial, whatever the reason being able to watch channels like yours are a big help. It’s sort of like having visits with a friend once a week, month , however often they post. The thrifting is fun to see, a chance to learn but also just company.
    My son has Tourette’s Syndrome , he’s a man now and it’s easier for him but junior and high school till about grade 10 were hell for him , kids can be so mean for no reason. Kids never know what can set them up to be bullied, just the wrong thing said, worn, the wrong choice of activities, it’s horrible . I hope your daughter makes some good friends who will go through the grades and support her. 🤞🤞🤞.

    I rarely comment, but I wanted to after seeing your video. Sorry to hear you've struggled with some things. It does get depressing when you have a lot on your plate or life just gets to you. I have been there many times, as we all have. In fact, I want you to know that it's funny how often your videos speak directly to me and what I am going through. When you had had your last straw with Facebook Marketplace because the lady didn't properly describe the item and it smelled like cat pee, I had also had some recent no-shows and poorly described items when I went to meet up with sellers. I was so frustrated with that platform. When I have struggled with sales, you were struggling with sales. When sourcing good inventory was a struggle for me, you were struggling too. When you said there wasn't a summer sales slump, I saw great summer sales too. I mean, I can't even tell you how uncanny it would be to watch your videos and hear you going through exactly what I was in my reselling journey. I'd be so down that I didn't even want to watch thrifting videos on UA-cam. But I played one of yours I had been sitting on and I felt like you and I were having the same issues. It helped me. I like seeing the reality because this is a struggle sometimes. As Wik from Flipping Junk said, this is still a job, it isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. I'm still going, even on days when I am beaten down by higher prices, less inventory to pick, and fewer places to find it. I hope you stick with it because you are helping others out here. Silent, but listening. Learning. Hoping. Keep going. I am going to do my best to do the same.
