Just a idea, but maybe one day skylar could make a second Instagram with photos she doesn’t mind sharing with people :)
@@emmakate2514 i thought of this too! like a diy mom recipe private account type of thing but idk. If shes comfortable to do that, no pressure whatsoever.
Sierra wish I was a youtuber bc I want. To help me ur pretty n smarter n strong

Skylar doesn’t owe us anything; she’s not required to have a public Instagram, but I will say that it definitely made me sad to unfollow her. It felt like losing a friend, especially being that she always starts off with a “Hi, friends!” Made me super sad, but I understand her choice.
Same! I will miss seeing her little family!!
Feel the exact same
We love you Skylar!
Yes! I feel the same! It hurt to hit the unfollow button but I'm proud of her for doing what is best for her and her family
You explained this perfectly! I felt very sad and didn't quite understand why, but you're right, she doesn't owe anything. I respect her decision. 🙂
My jaw actually dropped when Sierra said people message her that God is punishing her so she can't have children. I don't understand how people can have that kind of hate in their hearts.
When I was 5 I was diagnosed with polyarthritis. Some people (those who would knock at your door to talk about their religion) came to my mom to tell her I was suffering so much because I was paying for my ancestors who didnt believed in god enought. I was 5 suffering like hell and they said I deserved it as we were no true believers. Some people are just crazy.
@@mylahirtz462 We don't pay for our father's sins. The people who told your mom that are not true Christians. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" (Matthew 7:15).
God doesn't punish people.
@@mandycandi4063 Thank you. I am ok about it now. I am an atheist anyway
the look on skylar's face when she said that BROKE my heart. I can't believe people are so cruel.
I saw Skylar’s post on instagram. I unfollowed her out of respect. I will miss her, but i 100% understand her reasoning behind it and i 100% support her. Glad to hear she will still be on the podcast ❤️
Same!
Same!
Agree with this whole heartedly!
I wish i had seen the post to show her that I would unfollow her out of support for her. But I 100% agree with being excited she is staying on the podcast
Same
I’m part of the quiet majority, felt the need to finally leave a comment after today’s podcast. Love you guys!!
I will genuinely miss Skylar's instagram! She was such a great account to follow. I loved her DIY's and her natural dyes etc. Of course seeing her life (kyle and milo especially) was lovely too but she owes the public nothing. I would hope that in time when she gets in a better headspace that she would consider making a public profile for her DIY's and any other things she deemed appropriate for that account and not too private. I have had bad experiences in the past with people digging into my social media's too much and then making fake accounts of me etc and that was so terrifying so I do not blame her AT ALL for wanting to step away from all of this. I know she said multiple times she didn't want to become an influencer but she is so likeable that she gained a following naturally. I have unfollowed her on Instagram of course. Thank you if anyone read any of this
caaaz i made avocado dye shirts for a whole
Day because of her 😫 gonna miss her but i totally get why she’s stepping away
Agreed
Oh my gosh I actually sent her a message before unfollowing her just like this almost word for word
Came here to say exactly this. Genuinely love Skylar's posts. But mental health, and family safety is number 1. But I would definitely follow a diy Instagram of Skylar's.
Definitely will miss Skylar on Instagram. She had great content on her stories. Gave me great ideas for decor and so on but I I definitely understand her reasons for doing this. Hope everyone does as you wish.
I will never understand hate comments. So sorry for everyone receiving them.
I do miss skylars instagram posts. I know she never wanted to be an influencer, but i loved her recipes, and adorable baby product posts. I'm sure it was not easy to make that choice.
Hi guys! I’m a psychotherapist-in-training and I always refer my clients, especially young woman seeking body positivity, to your podcast and UA-cam channel as you both manifest such honest and inspirational content. Coming from my clients, your channels are exceptionally therapeutic which validates your success in spreading positivity to the world. You both are helping to save lives and I have the privilege of witnessing this phenomenon with my clients. Even though you are complete strangers to me as I am to you both, I’m so proud of you two! Keep up the amazing work and never let negativity bring you down ❤️
That's so cool! 😊
I saw Skylar’s post about unfollowing her and I completely understand and unfollowed her. I’m so upset that I had to do so, but I completely understand why she made her choice. Like what someone else said, it kind of felt like losing a friend. I wish nothing but the best for her and her family. I’m glad we can still get updates through the podcast. Keep being the strong, amazing mom you are! 💜💛
It was hard to unfollow Skylar because I loved seeing her positive content, but I completely understood and did what she asked! Just know you are an amazing woman and mother! I hope nothing but the best for you and your little family.
I found Sierra about two years ago. I was in a horrible place. Horrible body image, mental health, etc. I saw you, Sierra, being so accepting of your body and being so loving to yourself and I was jealous and mad. I commented some things on your videos that absolutely have no excsue whatsoever. I was unnecessarily mean and hateful. But seeing more and more of your videos in my recommended, six months after finding your channel, your message hit me. I began my body positivity journey. I am so sorry for being hateful. But keep doing what you're doing, please, because it is good and real and true work. I'm a devoted fan now and I truly apologise for my past actions. 💕
That’s so awesome that you realize your past actions were not the best- thank you for learning from your mistakes, and I’m so glad you’ve become more accepting of yourself! What a lot of people don’t realize is that many “bullies” are just in a horrible mental state, but props to you for apologizing, owning up to your actions, and supporting Sierra/Skyler! Sending love your way ❤️❤️❤️
@@alicejones5312 aww sending love right back!
I was so scared skylar quitting Instagram was also her quitting the channel/the podcast so I’m glad to see her here!! So proud of you both 💕💕
An important quote I refer to when I let other’s opinions get to me... “You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you.”🤷🏼♀️
Only 1 correction, Sierra. You aren’t “lucky” to have the job you have-you worked your ass off and deserve everything positive you have as a result of it. The only thing you DON’T deserve is ANY kind of hate. Absolutely no one deserves that. If people can’t say it respectfully, DON’T SAY IT. 💯 People are absolutely insane.
I so much agree
I agree with you but luck is definitely necessary to be able to live off making youtube videos
@@anto4380delaguaridaa yes!!! but also u have to work for it cause anything doesnt come that easy. luck and hard work i feel go together😊
I agree, your videos that you came up with and created got views. You created a community through your vision.
Anto4380 i just don’t believe it’s got anything to do with luck at all. Consistency, creativity, developing knowledge on how to create interesting content that people want to watch... that’s how she got here. It’s not the same as winning the lottery or get pulled out of a hat by chance; she made consistently smart choices that led her to where she is today.
To quote one of the best All Stars of RPDR
“You could be the juiciest, tastiest peach, and still find someone who doesn’t like peaches” 🍑
If you can love yourself how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?!
Can I get an amen up in here? ♥️♥️
AMEN.
I was one of the people that followed Skylar and unfollowed her when she asked. I really loved all her posts on baby Milo and her house renovation and decor posts were huge sources of inspiration. It made me sad to not be able to see that anymore, but I completely respect her decision. And my desire to share in her life will never be more important than her own comfort level.
I listened to the podcast on Apple podcasts but I wanted to comment on UA-cam because I do want to commend you for your bravery and vulnerability in this subject. I think a lot of people forget how figures on the internet are as human as they are. And even sometimes valid criticism is phrased in such an aggressive way because they forget that they’re speaking to another person. A lot of people defend their hate by saying it’s “their opinion.” But just because you have an opinion, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a hateful opinion. And it doesn’t mean you should share it online. Like even if I thought a photo of someone in my life was unflattering, I would never comment on that photo and say that I didn’t like the photo, even if that was my genuine opinion. So why do so many people feel comfortable doing that with Internet personalities? It must take such an emotional toll to deal with this constant attention and scrutiny all the time, and I thank you for continuing to provide a place of positivity where you speak out in things you believe in, even when you know you’ll get backlash. It is a pleasure to watch your videos and I hope you feel the love and that it is stronger than the hate.
I agree with every word you wrote, what a well worded comment!
PEOPLE ARE WILLLDDDD. I can’t imagine people giving that type of hate, like why tho....?
@Gor Gorito If this is the only thing you can contribute to this conversation: negativity and commenting on other peoples bodies, then we dont need you here, please leave
Of course I support Skylar in her need to make her Instagram private. I'm a little sad since I really enjoyed seeing what she posted, but if it is what she needs then I'm supporting 100%. When she posted that she was going to start deleting her followers 1 by 1 I immediately unfollowed to try an help out. I hope this podcast will keep us updated on her and when you can she is in the vlogs so that we still can keep up with her, but if not I will also support that.
I second that! Well said Jessica.
I agree! Skyler deserves privacy, and if the only way she can feel safe and happy is to delete social media, then that sucks but it has to happen. We love you Skyler!!
The only thing that offended me about this is the fact that you said vanilla ice cream has nothing going on
I unfollowed Skylar after her request. But I'll just say Skylar if one day you feel like you want an public Instagram where you just show your fun projects and crafts, even if you never showed your or anyone's face and had the comments and dm's turned off. I would follow I love your diys and such. Also if you don't that's just fine too ♥️.
Happy to see Skylar is down to 131 followers 🎉🎉🎉 so glad to see her reclaim her little corner of the internet for herself, but sad to see the home decor posts go
I unfriended Skylar and actually cried while I did it because it's so sad that there's no many haters out there but I totally understand why. Love her to bits and will definitely catch up with her on the podcasts
i think it would be a great idea for skyler to start a blog, its kind of more of a one sided platform where we can just see content from her like her favorite diy recipes and parenting tips and stuff like that but she doesn't have to deal with people seeing in to her real life or getting hate comments or things like that
I was so sad to "unfollow" Skylar from instagram but Im so happy to still get to listen to her in the podcast. :)
I’m going to be honest, I already miss skylars Instagram! It was always such a sweet little escape for me but I am happy that she can feel safe to post things freely for her family and friends. Maybe one day, she can have a public Instagram for her DIYs and other cute aesthetic things in the future. If not, we understand and we will enjoy whatever piece of your beautiful soul you choose to share with us. We all love you and wish the best for you and your family
!
I am really happy that Skylar prioritized her mental health. It actually inspired me to go through my entire social media profile and clear out the junk and private things. I went private on Instagram, too, because of Skylar. I unfollowed and unfriended so many people and I honestly feel a much lighter.
So glad we’ll still see Skylar on the podcast!! I was sad to unfollow her on Instagram, personalities like hers are a rare find online. As a fellow enneagram type 2, I’m proud of her for setting a boundary. I’ll miss interacting with her on Instagram, but I’m glad she’s doing what she needs to for her own mental health. 💛
I will never understand people who leave hate comments 🤦♀️ I'm usually just part of the quiet crowd, but I have to say I'm super thankful for both Sierra and Skylar, they made my life so much better ♡ When I saw Skylar's post I unfollowed her to respect her decision, and even though I'm going to miss her posts, I 100% understand her decision.
Your main channel came up as a suggestion about a year ago and I have been watching you ever since. Please keep being you in all of your formats. As a Mom I have enjoyed watching your growth. I enjoy when you work with other positive UA-camrs. Have you ever seen Alexandra Gater - a Canadian UA-camr who makes over all kinds of spaces. I can see you two creating something amazing with your new space.
yesterday i was refreshing youtube all day because i thought it was monday and i was waiting for this podcast. i'm so glad i made it early this time.
I’ve been anticipating this for a month! So happy you girls are back!!!

If you filtered out everything about your personality, Sierra, then people would STILL try to critique something- “ew, get a personality”, “you literally don’t have any hobbies, get a life”. Just goes to show that no matter what you do, somebody’s going to detest it. Just because somebody doesn’t like you, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing something wrong. If you get a feeling that that criticism isn’t helpful or makes you a better person, then you can disregard it. PLEASE disregard it. Be the amazing, beautiful person you are!!!
You two are definitely people who bring me joy! Totally respect Skylar’s decision and actually find it really brave! I deleted a bunch of my social media about 2 months ago and it’s been great for me and my mental health. Thank you both for everything you do 💕
I appreciate you both ❤️ Thankyou for always using your platforms for good!
I feel like throughout these podcasts and your open conversations, I get to watch a friendship grow! I'm 21 and I always relate to how your trying to better yourselves, love yourselves, get to know your authentic self, and follow your goals!! KEEP DOIN YOU!
Hate comments/mail, especially ones literally wishing death upon you , literal death threats??!! Thats so scary. Just because a large social media platform will always come with hate/negativity, doesn't mean its OK. I can see where social media platforms are telling people to not address it because they don't want it to increase and possibly put someone's life at risk.
I had to to pause and write this comment ... am a 30 year old mother of 2 and LOVE LOVE LOVE Pokemon!! Am playing the DLC of Pokémon sword atm and listening to the podcast while my kids are asleep!! I’ve got so many hate in real life for playing Pokémon go as well!! It bothered me at first but I’ve got my confidence from you Sierra ❤️ you taught me to be me and love everything about me! So it breaks my heart to see these comment effect you! Let us be ur confidence booster as you were ours❤️ love you my fellow Pokémon lover❤️
Ooh I have a Pokémon phone case as well 🤣!!
I unfollowed Skylar as soon as I saw her post. I have nothing but mad respect to both of you and feel so awful that both of you receive this negativity...it truly breaks my heart because you are two of the most genuine people out there!
Same here, it broke my heart to think that someone could make her feel uncomfortable. She's so sweet. I liked the post & immediately unfollowed her, nothing but respect for her & her beautiful family.
I was so excited when I saw this video pop up in my subscriptions. You two are just some of the sweetest human I've ever seen.
I almost started joining in the conversation through my screen. This was a very interesting podcast. 😁
I literally can’t understand why anyone would ever say death threats or that God is condemning you or saying mean criticizing things. You two are amazing and if people don’t like you they don’t need to follow you or watch your videos and follow your Instagram. Skyler I support your decision 100% to go private on Instagram and it’s okay that you use dryer sheets. People just need to stop hating!
As someone who has been bullied almost my entire life, I look up to both of you for standing up for yourselves. Skylar, I have personally really enjoyed getting to know you as Sierra's channel has grown and I wish you nothing but the best. I hope sometime in the future we are able to see you more often, but I as well as many others understand if not. Sierra, thank you for your continuous outpour of positivity in this world. Honestly, you have helped me on days when I didn't even realize I needed help. You are truly an inspiration and I am sorry you have to deal with such hatred. Please, never let anyone dull your shine.
I absolutely love that you two covered this topic. It is quite eye opening to hear how much criticism and hate that larger influencers experience. I just want to say a big thank you to you Sierra for sticking it out through some of those horrendous comments and opinions and continuing to bring so much valuable and important content and for including us all in your life. You have truly been a light for myself and I’m sure so many others during this difficult year. 🙌💕
I'm sorry to hear how awful it is but I'm thankful you shared it. I'm glad you guys have each other though ❤️ I'm definitely in the silent majority on IG where I never comment but enjoy both of your content.
I’m soooo happy that you posted this video. I’m sooo sorry that you girls have gone through this. It’s ridiculous and what’s crazy is we never know what even other youtubers have been going through especially with the drama channels ripping them apart. Some people just don’t think before the type.
Love you ladies!! Commenting this to know that those who care aren’t always the loudest, but we’re here!!!
I am so sorry that you both have to deal with this hatred. I just want you to know that you guys are body positivity inspirations for me and my family! I wish you guys the best and you have EVERY right to do what is best for you and YOUR family. Thank you again for what you do. I love you guys!
I love listening to you both so much. Coming from a really small country town in the south you have both really opened my mind and heart up to a lot of things and filled my heart up. I always feel like I am just engaging in conversations with friends when I listen to the podcast. That is something I really have needed in my life lately and I’m so appreciative when I get to listen in on these discussions. I know you don’t know me at all but I feel like I know you both and you are both very dear to my heart. So I just wanted to say thank you so much for providing such a positive and inclusive place for me to go to and unwind and learn. ❤️
This came out just in time for my lunch! ❤️
Sierra, I’m 53 yrs old- probably older than your own mom. BUT, your body positivity message has truly helped me, and resonated with me, and made a difference. I enjoy your content, and you “keep me company” many times. You know, your job May be the only type of job where a person can be subjected to truly unfiltered harassment. If someone treated me like that at my job, there would be repercussions, and I would be protected, whether the harasser is a coworker or a client. God bless you. He loves you and wants what’s best for you. And because of that, we know you deserve the best things in life. Peace.
49:02 I cried a little here too. I feel you, Sierra. irl, it took me a long time to realize that if I feel the need to hide away my personality around certain people then maybe that friendship/relationship ISNT WORTH IT. Because there have been so many people in my life who make me feel insecure about totally harmless personality traits like being a little loud, doing weird things like dancing around or singing randomly for fun, liking Kpop, to even things like talking candidly and boldly about things like sexuality, feminism, racism, etc. And that’s why I drop them 🤷🏽♀️ because at the end of the day, people who make u feel insecure for just being your true self are TOXIC and detract from your life. Love you both thanks for this great episode!
You ladies are awesome! Thank you for everything you do. I'm on mat leave right now and enjoy all your content so much. It cheers me up when I'm feeling down ❤️
Sierra, the reason I am so comfortable with my body to this day is because of you! Since I found you a few years ago my confidence and self love has gone uphill. Thank you
Love these podcasts! Definitely gave me a lot to think about.
Lol the fact people feel the need to send you messages about dryer sheets
I’ll miss following Skylar, but good for you! I’m so happy you’ll still do the podcast!
Lindsay DeFranco started the Not So Fast Campaign and it was originally a private account that should would let the public follow but keeping it private was an easy way to monitor what people say. And it also deters haters from following because it’s an extra step. I think it would be cool if when Skylar is ready (she may never be and that’s okay) made a private account for her fans to follow that she could post all her awesome DIY stuff on!
I heard that it takes 5 positive interactions to level out 1 negative interaction. Because we tend to harbor that comment within us and makes believing the positive comments harder. Also, I’ve been trying to educate myself about sustainability and the waste we create and it stressed me out so I had to start smaller and not obsess over everything!
One of my favorite podcasts of you two and I love them all so that’s saying a lot. Thank you both for being so vulnerable. I can see the self awareness and how growth oriented you both are and I love listening to you both 💜❤️
From one loudmouth to another, you and Sky are amazing! I hope you never change because of some people's opinions that, quite frankly, don't even matter. I miss Sky's Instagram stories, but totally get and respect her decision to go private.
Sending both of you nothing but love and respect ❤️.
love you guys ❤️ thanks for making my day with this podcast!
much love Skylar!! I will miss following you on insta, but I completely understand. I am not an influencer but even I very much value my privacy. I will love and appreciate hearing you on the podcast/potential vlogs, but at the end of the day you have to do what's best for you and your beautiful family! you definitely have impacted/inspired me and I appreciate your insight!!
I have got to say you both are awesome and it is always refreshing to see real people and real-life experiences. I honestly never watched youtube and Sierra was the first person who really got me hooked. Keep being yourself!
I was listening to this while working from home today, and stopped what I was doing to let you know how much I love you guys and the podcast. These episodes are keeping me going while times are tough in my own life, and I appreciate that you guys tackle difficult topics like these and how open and real you are about how it impacts you. I think you’re both Brilliant women that I honestly strive to be more like every day- so keep doing what you’re doing and know that there are people out here who are absolutely rooting for you!! ❤️
Skylar, I love that you were able to make that decision and take control of your social media space. I can't imagine setting those boundaries was easy but you have to do whatever makes the most sense and is best for you and your little fam! It's also great hearing someones perspective who DOESNT want to be a social media influencer. I think a lot of people get caught up in the aesthetics and the perks that come along with that status and often don't stop to seriously reflect on the challenging aspects of being an influencer and how they personally may be able to manage that. This conversation is super interesting and I believe offers a different perspective for others who may be considering going down that path!
You are such a light, Sierra! I’m thankful for your content, it’s truly helped changed my view of my body and myself in general. You’re both wonderful.
I don’t often comment, but I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate your content! I’m proud to know that I follow two strong women that show me that it’s okay to set boundaries and make my mental health a top priority.
My dear sweet Skylar and Sierra, I love you both so much.
This one resonated with me big time. The urge to change something so quintessential to me, just to be likeable to more people is so real. It's this predicament of 'you either love it or hate it' while deep down you want people to love or at least like you. It's tough!
I love and respect you both so much. I’m extremely shy but you both have inspired me to finally start reaching out to connect with people. Just like you were saying at the end of the podcast, the easiest thing to do is share kindness. So I’ve been able to be less shy simply by reaching out to content creators to let them know how awesome they are, what I liked about the video, responding the their comments from the video. We are all connected and we would all be better served to remember this. Be kind!!
i really don't comment much, but I was definitely a silent appreciator of Sky's instagram! I will miss her but totally and completely understand why she made that decision for her family! I do not understand why people would start holding her to an "influencer" standard/responsibility when she never claimed to be one. Nonetheless, fully support that decision (even though I will miss her, thanks for the air fryer recommendation!) and so excited we will still get to see her on the podcast! And Sierra, I have been with you for almost a year and a half now, and looking back you have fully changed my life and liberated me from toxic cycles of dieting and feeling bad about myself (along with Carrie Dayton!). I didn't even realize the change until I looked back at my life the last year and a half and realized how free I was from worrying about whether or not I was too fat. I have the best relationship with food I have ever had, as well as the healthiest relationship with myself. And I can honestly say that was sparked because of you just existing as yourself here online. You are hands down my favorite person on this platform and please, don't let anybody dull your shine, because it is truly unique to everything else that I see on here, and that is beautiful. I truly thank you for being bold enough to be vulnerable and authentic online, because I and so many others are better for it. Sending love and peace to you both!
You two are my inspiration and I look up to you so much. Thank you for continuing to be you and creating content, you have made such a difference in my life💗
This podcast was so powerful. Every minute added up to a beautiful message. You guys are amazing and thank you for doing this podcast!
You guys are AMAZING!! I love y’all so much 💓
SIERRA please don't quit youtube
Phenomenal job ladies! I love following both of you, you’re both such an inspiration!
I'm so sad that people feel like it's okay to be hateful just because you're in the public eye. You ladies are both beautiful amazing humans and I'm so grateful that you're here!
Loved this podcast!!! And love both of you!
Only 11 minutes in but I have to just commend you Sierra on how well you speak about things and make sure to remind us there are other problems in the world but that your problems are still real. I’ve seen people say before they forget how young you are by how you express yourself and I agree so much! You are so empathetic and also just talented at letting people understand
Love these! 💗
I love your podcasts! Sierra and Skylar, you two have helped my mental health so much and I always look forward to your podcasts and posts!
You two are the most wholesome, good intentioned people on the internet and probably just in general!!! Thank you for dealing with all of this negativity just to bring so much light to all of our lives. Just imagine how much good you are bringing to the world as role models and support systems for literally millions.
love you guys so much 💗
I love you both so much!! You make my days better
Hi girls! So proud of you both for speaking up about the hate, and Skylar for making the decision to make your Instagram private. Thank you Skylar for sharing what you have previously on Instagram - I have been inspired by your home decor, plant mom lifestyle, and you taught me how to avocado dye! I will continue to support and to enjoy hearing about both of your lives on the podcast 💖
Take a shot every time Skylar and Sierra both say “oh sorry, go ahead” at the same exact time 😂❤️ I love the dynamic and friendship you two have! Thank you for this podcast
I literally temporarily disabled my Instagram this weekend. I find that I really don’t get a lot of value nor do I really contribute much on instagram. I like posting and seeing people’s pictures but it is not worth the time for mindless scrolling and posting
Sky I totally support you and understand! I wouldn't want to be an influencer either and I am so excited you still want to be on the pod ❤
I figured you’d get hate for being body positive, because for some wild reason people get worked up about that movement. But wow.. even for dryer sheets for Skylar, and walking your dog! A 4 lb pup wouldn’t last long on a walk like you said... my 6 lb yorkie can’t make it a mile, their legs are so tiny! I’m sorry girls, stay true to yourselves and we will continue to support you.
Sierra, don't ever listen to those people judging your hobbies and interests. I'm almost 30 years old, the first room I planned in my new house was the gaming/nerd room, and my profile pic is my Pokemon Shield avatar. Why should the ways we spend our free time ever matter as long as we are putting more happiness into the world? ❤
The fact that you are still such a positive person after receiving the amount of hate that you do is incredible to me. I have one person say something mean to me at work and I'm upset about it for the rest of the week. I strive to be more like you with your body positivity and just positivity in general. I also hope to one day have a friendship with someone like you have with Skylar. The way you two can talk about anything for hours is amazing and I hope to one day have that with someone. Been missing your vlog videos and I'm excited to see them come back 😊😊
Also just am in the middle of this still and my heart BREAKS for both of you- especially you Sierra. People are so cruel and quick to hurt others. You both are SOOOO beautiful and I am so thankful for both of you being in the public eye because I love listening and watching you both. Please know you guys ROCK and I wish we were friends in real life🤣 my dream lol
I think this is the best podcast y’all have done it’s so incredibly real, I don’t have a following but I have about 1k snap chat views and I get so much hate just from that many people seeing my story I can’t imagine what it would be like for y’all. Love y’all and I hope this change benefits you and your family extremely well!
You ladies are amazing! 💗
OMG! YESSSS you have no idea how excited I am for this. !!
Thank you girls! I'm glad you both talked about this. There are so many keyboard warriors out there who are quick to criticize everyone else that probably wouldn't say those things were they in front of you in person. This world has been so terribly full of hate and I really hope that things change for the better, but those negative comments cut like a knife. I would encourage you both to just continue to be yourselves. We'll never make everyone happy, so just do what makes you happy because the amount of people that you have made a positive impact on outweighs the negative comments that try to tear you down. {{{Hugs}}} to you both!
I totally understand what you are saying. Just an example, a huge influencer in Spain just announced her pregnancy and that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I cannot believe the amount of negative comments I saw towards her, specially because she's leaving such a tough moment.
I’m going to miss skylar’s Instagram I loved her post about veggie dying, the sour dough starter and all the decor but I understand where she’s coming from... felt sad about unfollowing her. Also people are crazy about what they say about these 2 fabulous wonderful woman
Wow people are really paying attention. I have never even noticed your home decor or kitchen utensils. And I can relate to you guys on the sustainability thing. My family loves to nitpick when I use plastic water battles and such just because I am vegan for the planet and avoid single use plastic when I can.
Y'all spread so much love and positivity, and y'all deserve to have that same positivity poured back into you.
