I have a couple fun events that I want to step out at and let’s see what swim week is all about. Miami is changing so fast there’s a million things going on. GRWM for the runways while I literally cry lol. Crying on 2024 is crazy. And let’s goooooooooo. Im so excited to hang w you I’ll be talking to you in the comments as usual xo
crying on UA-cam in 2024 is crazy. but someone has to do it..
not crazy at all ❤
We love you and understand you reina hermosaaaa 🫶🏽🌹❤️
Thank you for being you! Been with you since right when you and henny got together. You are inspiring and a reminder that all of us have our own struggles and they are all valid!
Wow the honesty in this video. The part about feeling resented. Like you owed someone something.
Thank you for living this in. Wished these were the convos having in society about this idealized version of what motherhood is and implies.
crying is normal🫶🏽 you are doing great in all aspects especially as a mom!
As a 26 year old woman who is not a mom yet but looking to be one in the near future, your content means a lot to me. The way you expressed fear about your life ending after having a baby is SO real for so many women, myself included. And you are living proof that life/youth does not end once you become a mom!! the way you have adapted to life with Rio while still doing things for yourself and for work inspires me truly. You are not just a mom but you are LAUREN and you continue to amazing at both! You inspire me! Thank you for always being honest & sharing with us ❤️
As a fellow 26 year old woman who sometimes feels SO OLD since becoming a mom….thank you…thank you for taking the time to write me and share how my content is valuable to you. It really helps me get out of my own head and be present when making my videos 🥹 i love you
Wait I love how vulnerable you’re being because from the outside looking in it looks like you have it soooo together. It’s nice to know we all struggle. Sending you so much love, strength, and peace ❤
Just because your not living “the 9-5” job, doesn’t mean that your feelings aren’t valid. The mom guilt is real, the wife guilt is real.just because you’re more fortunate than others, doesn’t mean you can’t go and have fun and live a great life you know. I know you don’t know me but I love you girl and we all support you, you got this girl!
Needed this. Thank you
I once heard this quote “it doesn’t matter if you are sinking in 20ft of water and the person next to you is sinking in 40ft of water. You both are still sinking” you are valid and you are doing an amazing job ❤
When Lauren started crying, I started crying.
First of all I love that you gave yourself permission to feel vulnerable and to process this. (I’m a therapist btw) From experience, you have to let yourself feel. Love this girl, and love you! ❤️❤️❤️
You crying when i did is giving empath. QUEEN
Love this video Lauren! Your mom viewers get it. 100% men don’t understand what we go through on a daily basis, and our parents lived in a different time, perhaps with different circumstances, so they often don’t understand either. Just because we can make motherhood look amazing, doesn’t mean it’s easy. Rooting for you and cheering you on as viewers - you’re doing amazing mama and Rio’s a lucky boy 💕
This is so real. I saw something that said "only good moms feel mom guilt" and thats truly what it is! If you are worried about being a good mom....you ARE ALREADY a good mom.
27 year old mom viewer of years confirming this also! 🫶🏻
Honestly Lauren as a 23 year old women seeing you become a mom and still continueing to do the things you did Before motherhood is so inspiring to me. Keep it up you are doing an amzing job I look forward to motherhood now seeing that i can still be myself after becoming a mom.
The honest talks you have are always a breath of fresh air. You remain grounded and realistic in every phase. Thank you for being you ❤ wish you the best
ngl I’ve watched your videos for years and started to feel disconnected a bit with the mom journey because I’m not at that point in my life yet but seeing you talk about it in such a vulnerable way made me cry and I felt that connection again in just being a woman in general and knowing I might go through it one day is so comforting to know I can already have content to lean on and prepare me
thisssss
I've been a mostly quiet follower for years and years (you're literally one day older than me slay) and while I'm not a mom yet, I SO looked forward to your mommy content. I loved hearing you be so real about your pregnancy, birthing experience, and now actively raising your son. It makes me feel so much more confident going into motherhood before I'm in my 30's, I never wanted to identify only with being a mom and you prove you don't have to. You can still be yourself while being a mother. You're literally the coolest Lauren, we're all so proud of your mom journey. You're doing amazing ❤
Grateful to give you all the big sister vibes 🥲🥲🥲🥲 even at 1 day older
We all have our own struggles. Don’t ever invalidate yours because someone else might have it worse than you. Don’t feel guilty, because you worked for the position that you are in. You and Henny created such and beautiful life for your family and you have all the right to live it because it is yours. Most of those who hate on you are jealous of what they could have, but are not driven enough to get it like you did and still are :) Also the green dress looks stunning on you 🤩
loving your new clean mom aesthetic but still a baddie idk it’s soooo the vibe
Lauren just want to let you know that although your job and situation might look "easy" to others, it comes with it's own struggles that are super valid. From my point of view you are being an amazing mother and slaying at your job as well. Don't feel guilty about having fun while working, you are lucky to have a job that you love! Just because you're taking time away from your partner/baby due to a fun activity (work or not), doesn't mean you're not prioritizing/caring for them! You are a better mother and wife by first caring for you! You are doing amazing!
My baby is 10 months old and I appreciate your vulnerability!! Being a mom is the biggest blessing and the biggest challenge. Rio is lucky to have you!
I don't have children of my own but I think these conversations are important. And I'm sure you are not alone. My great aunt once told me that she was worried if she would ever be able to go see a movie after having children. I think everyone goes through this process of trying to find themselves again as this new person and how everything fits into the routine when they become parents. Your feelings are completely valid ☺️
Lauren, honestly, every time I watch your videos, I ADMIRE how you and Henny are doing the whole parenting thing. I feel like you found the best way to raise a kid. Rio is so happy, and honestly, you make me feel so much more comfortable to have kids because people make it look so scary, and everybody is so negative. But you and Henny are doing an amazing job, and I'm proud of you and so happy for you! ❤️🩷💛
Right here crying with you girl! As a new mom even for the second time, it’s really hard to let yourself cry when you have things that other moms might not have but your experience is verrrryyy valid. We are human ❤
I would hope every mommy from the entire socioeconomic spectrum loves their child enough to wonder if they are doing right by them, concerns are rooted in love and manifests in awareness
A friend from work got me this little plaque when I had my first baby that says “You’re doing a great job”. That tiny stupid plaque got me through some of the hardest days. I gave it to my sister when she had her twins, and she gave it back to me just recently when I had my third (and last 😅) baby. I have it by my kitchen sink and it soothes my soul daily.
You are doing a great job. ❤
And don’t worry, it also gets easier and the people who aren’t genuinely happy for you fade into the background where they belong. ❤
Omg I love that, I'm totally getting one for my sister.
Imposter Syndrome is a real thing. You’ve earned the spot you’re in. You deserve the life you’ve dreamt and created Lauren. Live it guilt-free, and hard is hard. Struggle looks and feels different from person to person. 💗
I know this was not meant for me but giiiirl! I needed to read this 😂thank you I’m going to save this comment and read it every day.
i’m 24 and have a (just turned) one year old and literally have never heard someone else’s experience about mom guilt and not being understood more spot on then what you described. literally tearing up because i feel like im not alone so thank you for that little clip of you being vulnerable because you made me feel 10x better about everything ive been going through💛
we got this💛
In this together 🤝 love u
I’m 31 and have a 7 month old. This is so relatable!!!! I’ve been with my husband for 11 years and have so much incredible support but having a baby puts so many different strains on our relationship and it makes me so sad sometimes. I think part of it is just mourning the old me in every sense. I am a completely different woman, wife, sister, daughter. It’s so beautiful but so hard to come to terms with sometimes. I always feel better after a good cry. Thank you for sharing this side of motherhood! It’s so refreshing to look up to someone who is younger than me. Love you 🫶🏽
Having support and resources and health...and STILL struggling, is absolutely what being a mom is like. It is hard. It's insanely hard when you don't have what you need--and it is still extremely hard when you DO have what you need. That is the nature of the calling on parenthood.
You guys are doing great. ❤
I’m 2 months postpartum currently rocking my baby and literally crying with you, thank you for this video 😭💗
Omg I’m also 2 month postpartum, my baby born on the 7th of April. Seriously love you Lauren, always love the real mom content. Xoxo
The more vulnerable the more I love your content. I think it’s because I relate so much even though I am not a content creator. I’m just a mom with struggles that feels what you feel. 😕 but you have your tribe here with us 😉
Wow the post cry slay. So proud of you. You are eating life, influencer, relatable birch and motherhood up.
i love how raw this felt! dont be scared to show/talk abt ur struggle just bc of how blessed u r! we understand that despite what position u r in in life, life is still hard. if it is something u want to share, definitely do. it feels more personal. sending u sm love 🤎
I'm so glad you kept that in the video Lauren. Sometimes you seem to have it so together and it kinda feels that the videos are just about clothes and eating out, which I love btw, but it's good to hear your thoughts from the heart. I'm the same age as you and I feel like you and I love that I can see I could be a mother too.
Lauren!! It doesn’t matter what your occupation may be. Being a mother itself, is the hardest job you can have. A literal little humans life is in your hands. Give yourself more credit. It’s awesome that you realize you are blessed and you appreciate things. Having a child/being a mother is an unexplainable feeling, until you have one of your own. You’re doing great momma!
Needed this!
The amount of respect i have for you is unreal. You are the smartest, sweetest, realest influencer and best momma because you are not only Rio's mom but our mom, you have so many children girl😭 we love you always❤
You calling me your mom is quite literally the highest compliment
I kind of missed you being vulnerable, thank you for sharing your experience as a mother. As one who works full time and has my daughter in private school it can be a struggle but my struggle isn’t more of a struggle than yours. A struggle is a struggle regardless. But you are doing amazing!!
Hi, 25 year old mom of 2 boys here!! As soon as you started crying, I started crying. You are doing amazing, and even on the days you aren’t, you ARE! Rio & Henny are so lucky. The mom guilt is REAL, but so is the love and joy that come with it. Hang in there mamas. You are so beautiful inside and out!
What you told, while getting ready, was the most relatable feeling I have ever heard. I’m only 24y and I have a little 2y old boy. The feeling of not being understood by others, while you do have a lot of people around you to lean on, is something very heavy to carry. Even thought you talk about it with others, it doesn’t go away.
This was actually really relatable not only as a new mom but as a person in general. You expressing this really just gives us future moms just another perspective on motherhood. Your doing amazing, and I am happy for and proud of you, as a long time follower 😊❤❤❤❤❤
“Mom guilt” was something I’ve always been warned about but let me tell you there’s nothing that prepares you for the weight of the world you feel becoming a mother. You are everything and more for everyone in your life especially that sweet boy! You’ve got this Lauren!
The moment you started saying guys don't understand what we go through and then paused, then continued on and cried. It is so true. So relatable. Thank you for saying what all of us moms are feeling! I appreciate you!
The vulnerability in this vlog really means a lot. New moms do just need to hear that they’re doing a good job and that someone is proud of them. No one understands all of the internal battles we face unless they’ve been through it. My relationship ended due to the fact that he wasn’t able to even begin to understand everything that i was struggling with. It was too much for him. I’m so proud of you for opening up and being quite the most amazing mother I’ve seen on the internet. The love you have for rio shows and he is an incredibly lucky boy to have you as a mom
Thank you so much Lauren. You don’t know how “not alone“ it feels to hear someone else go through the same thing. Thank you for being vulnerable 🤍
Thank you for being real with us!!!! I love your content! Even though im not a mother yet, it brings me so much comfort how real you are with us! You’re amazing Lauren ❤❤❤
YOU KEEP GETTING MORE AND MORE GORGEOUS
Lauren thank you for keeping your talking it out session in. I started law school around the same time you had rio and flopped this semester. I know it’s not the same at all but I really appreciated having someone to cry with. Love you so much and you are doing so amazing. Your content truly means so much to me
I’m genuinely so happy for you Lauren. I’ve been following you for years. I have 3 kids of my own and my life is definitely different than yours but every mom struggles. I love that you kept that in the video. I love that you can continue your career for Rio and I am very proud and happy for you. It’s not your responsibility to understand why people around you resent you. Always focus on the good. I support you and I love how real you are. Thank you for sharing with us how you feel. Another reason to love you more.
i know it's hard to feel the love when its coming at you from the comment section but you are genuinely so valued. you have unknowingly helped raise me and your son is blessed to have you as a mum, at any capacity. you are worthy, you are enough. thank you for being so real xx
You’re doing an amazing job! I feel like people who have followed you for a long time are proud of you and how you’ve handled all the change that has happened the last few years. I love your content and my heart goes out to you. Saying a little prayer for you and your family!
And a prayer for yours too kalista, appreciate the love 🙏🏽
Lauren, thank you. I’m a 25 year old new mom with a good support system and nothing to complain about and it’s still HARD. It can still feel so lonely and scary and like no one knows how you feel. These feelings are so real and it’s just nice to know we’re all in this together. You’re a great mom and Rio is so blessed to be your baby!!
a lauren vlog is exactly what i needed ty queen
The mom portion of the video helped me so much. I’m 24, about to be a first time mom, and terrified is an understatement about how I feel. There’s so much guilt about negative feelings surrounding having a child because it IS such a blessing, but it’s so hard to not anticipate the stress that is going to come with it. I’m so happy and wouldn’t change a thing, but I’m so scared of my life as I know it changing forever. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty 🤍 please keep doing what you’re doing, you’re helping women of all stages of life more than you know!
When you started crying I wanted to cry with you! I’m not a mom yet, but I want to be so badly, I love your content and have watched you through all season of your life for years and years. This journey and person you are now is SO incredibly inspiring, I look at you with so much admiration! Thank you for always being so real, authentic and truly you and letting us follow along on this journey.
You have remained so down to earth with all your success. Wish you happiness love! We understand you 🤎
I was just talking to my mom about how there’s no winning as a mom regardless of what you do/what your situation is being a mom is HARD. You can’t truly understand it until you experience it. You’re giving your baby boy an amazing life and that’s what matters (and doing things for yourself is a crucial part of that bc you need to be happy to do it!!) ❤️❤️
i grew up with a pretty absent relationship with my mom and an older sister who was dealing with a lot of mental illness and was emotionally checked out, so in short, i have had very few maternal/older sister/older women in my life to guide me. watching this video made me reflect on how comforting your videos are, how your wisdom and grace is literally inspirational to me, and how much i admire you and look up to you. to say you are doing a great job is probably an underestimation. you are so so wise and poised and graceful and authentic, and you make younger girls like me feel seen. i hope you know how much of a good job you are doing.
I’m 43 with a 9 year old and I think you’re doing great. I had her at 33 and it was still a struggle as a first time mom. Motherhood is different for all of us and there’s no manual for any of it. We all have our own path and this one is yours. People can be mad about it. They can put on a cape and be super mad about it. Where some may see self absorbed I see self aware. Keep doing you because the rest of us are here for it.
I have watched your videos for years and as a mom of two I have never realated to your videos more. Also your aloud to have your feelings validated, no matter what you do or job you have,mom feeling effect everyone and it’s lovely to see you express that. Your doing amazing ❤️
Lauren, I genuinely believe you are on the right path and doing what you’re meant to be doing. For a long time I feared having kids, which didn’t matter so much bc I never believed I’d fall in love and have a healthy happy partnership and want a family. But even after finding my husband, I was still scared. I’ve spent my entire life trying to find myself that it felt like - why would I immediately give that up. I didn’t know there was another “way” tbh. But watching the way you’ve handled your entire journey with becoming a mother … it just gives me HOPE that such a life is possible… and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way! Your path is not the most traditional but THE WAY YOU LIVE inspires and impacts THOUSANDS of women, and so even if you have the benefits of extra support or time freedom, it’s not without its own pressures and downsides and people forget about that. Thank you for always being so real and honestly just being one of the most naturally entertaining creators on this platform imo❤support for you always!
Lauren you are such a boss! Releasing with tears is necessary because our bodies feel things so deeply we cannot describe with words 💖💖 you are so deserving of what the universe has for you. It was written in the stars already ✨ Just open your arm and receive it all 👑👑
My baby little girl is 2 years old and Iam still working to find myself, I appreciate your vulnerability, I got you girl, we moms always receive critcismis, working or staying at home, its so hard to receive "mom you are doing well, you are an amazing mom". But being a mom is the biggest blessing and the biggest challenge. I am sure that Rio is lucky to have you, the best mommy
Lauren, fellow mama here!! I related to sooo much that you’re feeling🤍 know there’s so much power in being vulnerable & standing in your truth. You are valid in every single emotion you’re experiencing & no matter the differences every mother faces, your struggles are valid. I love you, I’m here cheering you on, it will get easier. You are a phenomenal mother 🫶🏽💕
Also 28 yrs old 33 weeks preggo and a nurse and I felt I could really relate to this video, god bless me entering mom era with you 🥹🥲
Lauren, anyone who makes you feel like this is not genuinely happy for you. They are jealous of what you have and they are going to say things to bring you down more to try and lift themselves up. You just have to live your life to the fullest and continue being humble. I love your content and how real you are, many people would not want to discuss the struggle out of fear of judgement. All of your feelings are valid and you deserve everything you have
Lauren, Lauren Lauren, I'm so happy you said "I didn't take a day off while pregnant" because the whole time you were speaking about how others perceive you, and struggle to congratulate r celebrate you -- or feeling too privileged to have the mom set up that you do. all I can think of is "she worked the whole time" you gave us a literally first hand experience into young motherhood. that's so appreciated. you also have been on the internet for YEARRRRRS! so you HAVE put in the HARD WORK! and I for one am glad that its easier for you. this is what you've worked for
But the earrings with the necklace were so gooood 😆. I usually do not like a matching set but that was good.
wow this was so freaking relatable. i was surprised yet amazed at your vulnerability! thank you for making me feel heard and seen! i work from home doing hair and have my own flexible schedule & constantly looked at as if i have it SO good. i still struggle. mentally, physically, emotionally. thank you. so much.
I have been following since forever but I never leave a comment. Your are so amazing lauren so humble so gentle you have a pure heart. All these beautifull things you have and still you are so you so authentic !
wow did i have a big cry watching this. im a new mom as well, 23, and it felt like i was listening to myself in a way from completely understanding where ur coming from. thank you for sharing. i am proud of you and you are doing an amazing job.
Hey, Lauren! I just wanted to say that you don’t have to explain yourself to nobody! You’ve worked hard to be in your position! The real ones know you’re grateful and so humble! I’m inspired by you doing all this on top of being a new mom and a new wife! There are plenty of wealthy moms that do exactly what you do; you have just decided to share it with us! I like the uniqueness you’re bringing to your brand and your content! Don’t mind the haters, chil’ - from a fellow South Floridian 🤍
I hear you Lauren, being a mom is insanely hard and definitely not what we expected. I’m a 23 yr old mom to a one yr old coparenting. I’m blessed enough to have my parents help but still feel so alone and feel like they just don’t get me and my feelings (there’s like no single moms in my family) I work and do all the parenting on my own it’s so tiring, I cry a lot and feel stuck. This video made me feel seen motherhood is not as glamorous as it is portrayed on social media.
As someone who’s been subscribed for years, it’s nice to see you open up and be more vulnerable. And I’m sure any other mother (old or young, single or married) can resonate with what you’re saying.
The consistent vulnerability and transparency is always appreciated Lauren💖
Lauren thank you SO much for leaving the vulnerable parts in. You made me feel so seen, esp as a 24yo newly sahm that moved over 1000 miles from friends & family to AL for my husbands job. Things can be so hard & people who aren’t a mother just don’t understand how we feel, no matter how hard you can try to explain it. You’re doing amazing & Rio is so lucky to have such an amazing mommy. Love you so much!!! I’ve been watching you for over 10 years❤️
I really appreciated how real you were in this video. Motherhood is hard and it is a huge adjustment and definitely takes a toll on relationships as well. I am a mother of two young boys 8 and 3 and all they care about is how loved they are and it seems you have plenty of that for your son. No matter how good a job may seem and how much support you have you are still allowed to feel you struggle, these are valid feelings you are allowed to feel, especially being a working mom. I have had both the typical 9 to 5 job and a job with flexibility to he with my kids more and I can tell you neither is easier. Just remember you doing an amazing job and your little boy will always appreciate that! I've learned sometimes people in your life will see it as a competition of who has an easier life and a better job when in reality we all have different struggles. We should always support each other especially us women!
Boy mom club 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 thank you for the words of encouragement
I am not really sure when this “your struggle isn’t as hard as mine” became a thing… being a mom is HARD no matter what you choose, do, if you work, don’t work ect. We are mom 24/7 365 days a year. We don’t get paid, we don’t get time off ect. No matter what. Supporting each other should be our number 1 goal!!! I am here for you momma! You are doing amazing!! Even in the hard moments, you are doing soo amazing!! And no Men will never understand and that’s ok, they aren’t meant to. Moms are supposed to be able to lock arms and support each other.., because we are the ONLY ones who truly get it ❤❤❤ sending you soo much love and positivity ❤❤❤
!!!!!!!!!
Mom of two here - 8 and 12 year olds now. I become a mom at 20 and being a first time mom, a newlywed, and young is so hard!!!! I can’t even imagine doing it online like you do. You’re doing AMAZING Lauren! Honestly, when I saw your pregnancy announcement I was astounded because you are so young but you are handling it so gracefully and I can feel the love between you and Rio and Henny. I pray your family keeps bonding, even through the tough times! ❤️
Usually a very quiet watcher but just came here to say I feel you girl. Just remember you are still Lauren. Yes you are a Mom too, but you’re still Lauren and in order to be a a good Mom you need to do things for Lauren. Refill your cup so that you have energy to fill Rio’s cup daily. It’s so hard to find that balance and everyone’s parenting situation is different, everyone’s struggles are different but that does not invalidate your struggles.
Sending love!
I find your videos so comforting and seeing you become a mom made me excited to be a mom too someday. You’re always so authentically yourself and your videos really made me feel like having kids is something so beautiful and exciting, but at the same time it’s not the only part of your identity and you can still be yourself and live your life.
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability so much and you deserve your success! Your videos inspire me too as I’ve always hoped to be able to make a living off creating content someday since I’ve realized the 9-5 life really isn’t for me.
We all have different struggles in our lives too and shouldn’t feel guilty because our struggles are different than someone else’s. Seeing you cry had me crying too and I’m always rooting for you and wishing you the best 🥺♥️
This IS something relatable. Being a mom is extremely hard. No matter what the situation is. You’re carrying it so well, and everyone carries it differently. As long as your little family is healthy and love exists within in it, that’s all that matters. From one momma to another, doing amazing!
Lauren you are your own person and none of that loses its weight and value when you become a mom! Just take it day by day and know that we are here for you and will never judge you for what you are feeling because your feelings are valid❤❤❤
Thank you for being vulnerable about this. I’ve been watching you since you were on vine. I’m now 25 and my son will be 4 in September. I teared up hearing you talk about this because I can relate and I know a lot of other young moms can too. Cry as much as you need, vent as much as ur heart desires. Everything you’re feeling is extremely valid. You are going thru the most transformative point of ur life where you are no longer the person you once were. But TRUST & BELIEVE everything you are going thru is leading you to a version of yourself that you’re meant to be. Transformation is uncomfortable but give urself that grace mama. I love you🩷
I’m a 26 year old new mom with an 8 month old. I hate being sappy!! But you are doing such huge things and making a real difference with girls just like you. I’ve been going through it too girl. The last few months in particular it’s like new challenges hitting your face and the feeling everything should be amazing and happy because you genuinely do feel that but I think expressing the hard part is so difficult to do and just thank you because I feel so alone in this and just hearing you be vulnerable, girl you had me bawwwlingg. The intrusive thoughts are so real. I feel like I’ve been on the journey with you throughout my pregnancy. This is my favorite video and I feel like it’s exactly what I needed to hear today, this feeling is normal and we all need to hear it. Mom guilt is sooo hard. You’re doing amazing and such a good job and it is SO IMPORTANT for mamas to hear that cause the journey can be so lonely. Your amazing Lauren ❤
Being a mom in any walk of life is so hard. Whether the dad is involved or not, whether you have a really intense job or work from home, whether you have a stable bank account - all of those things aside being a mom is HARD
so allow yourself to feel the way you do - comfort yourself. it’s easy to intellectualise your feeling and think that you don’t deserve to feel bad just because someone has it worse
love you so much - been watching since vine ❤❤❤
Hi Lauren! I love you and your content. The guilt you feel for having a blessed life just means you are aware of what you have and that is an amazing thing! It shows more about yourself, your humility, and that you are someone who wants to and is able to take on challenges and overcome them. Previous generations may have had it rougher but they get to see you and know their hard work is worthwhile because look what YOU turned it into! As a mom, you are setting an incredible example for Rio and for us of what life can be like and to dream BIG. You give me hope, happiness, and overall motivation by showing us this is POSSIBLE, even as a mom AND a young mom! Don't forget you worked hard to get to where you are, you sacrificed your vulnerability to build your platform and your current life. Soak it all in, you're doing fantastic sis! Love from the laudy and miami girlies xx
As a 27yo new mum who has watched your content for years I have to say this is my favourite video of yours I’ve ever watched ❤ The way you did not and have not missed a beat with work since you got pregnant and became a mother is honestly admirable and it translates, because there’s no other creator I check regularly to see if they’ve posted. Just because your job is not traditional doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to feel all the things your feeling! Love seeing this side of you
As a 23 year old new mom this was so real 😭 crying along w you. Really appreciate influencers being their true selves and showing the good, the bad, and the not so prettiest parts of life. That’s real! Too many try to be perfect for the public and this is just so much more authentic that people can actually relate to.
Lauren you don’t have to qualify your feelings! Thank you for your vulnerability. I am not a mom yet but my husband and I are trying to set our life up so I can be home with my baby too while do something I’m passionate about. Thank you for speaking from this perspective, you’re so lovely 💙
You are doing a great job, Lauren. It takes time to get back into a routine, and having kids just changes everything in life. It's hard to have big transitions in life, but we learn and grow from them!
I literally love you so much, been watching you for a good 10 years and probably won’t ever stop, God bless you and your family Lauren 💕💕💕
Hey Lauren, going through the exact same thing I have a 7 month old and am lucky enough to be able to stay at home with my little one but I find myself STRUGGLING and feeling guilty for struggling because as you said “other mum’s have it a lot worse”- something that sometimes helps me is to remember and just repeat “everyone’s capacity is different” seems pretty simple but it’s true some days my capacity is also different from other days. I find the mum community can be super judgy too which is hard but just finding your little bubble of people who understand that being a mum is hard no matter what and to be gentle with yourself is so important xx
Not me 26 weeks pregnant start bawling as you start crying 😢 Lauren you truly are inspirational ❤
Awwe girl😮💨 as a mom of 5 myself...let me tell you, ITS HARD! everything changes... EVERYTHING! You are doing great and never feel like your not enough, it's tough for us all, but at the end of the day all we can do is our best!! Just take time for yourself, that's the main thing, even if it's just a 20min bubble bath! You are ENOUGH and your little boy is proof that your doing ENOUGH!! Keep your head up mamma😘
MOM OF 5?! You are a superhero. Thank you for the words of encouragement
Hey Lauren, wanted to let you know that you are doing such an amazing job! Being a mom is one of the hardest things but the biggest blessing. I also think regardless of what a mom does as a women we will always get judged. I think the best thing we can do is always just do what is best for our families and no matter what as long as our home is happy and we are healthy that’s the biggest blessing. But truly I can relate to this so so much! Because ITS HARD and please don’t feel alone! 🤍🤍
Lauren! Thank you for putting into words what a lot of us moms feel. I had a baby a few months before you did, and I can relate to everything you said. I think the blessing in disguise is that our generation has a platform like this where we can connect with people like you, and realize our feelings are valid and we’re not alone. You inspired me to start 12.3.30 years ago, and now to be ok with all the feelings that come with motherhood 💖
Thank you for being so vulnerable. Regardless of whether people can relate or not your experience and feelings are 100% valid. I looooooved this video!! Sending love from NY! 💗💗💗💗
I have a two year old and I feel the same way as you. As soon as I became a mom my family treated me differently and everyone was upset that I wasn’t struggling as much as they wanted me to. It’s hard when you do the best you can and still don’t have people around you that are happy and supportive! So I 100% get you!! But you are doing so great and I think you are a awesome mom and wife ❤ keep shining bright ✨
Honestly Lauren, your content is a breath of fresh air and it is so good to see someone who became a mother but did not lose their identity. I’m not a mom yet but I have seen that the mom community is so unrealistic sometimes about the type of balance they think a woman is supposed to have. It’s nice to see someone who has such a beautiful little family and still is her silly youthful hot mama self. I’m sure there have been compromises but you are truly mom goals girl! God bless you guys and I hope that you continue to have the amazing support system you have so Rio can continue to have a peaceful and loving life ❤ he will absolutely appreciate all of the hoops you guys jumped through for him without a doubt. You’re doing an AMAZING job and I couldn’t be more happy for anyone else than you guys and how great life seems to be treating you all 💕🌸
I love you so much Lauren. Thank you for being so vulnerable. Remember you worked hard to get where you are and have the life you do, so enjoy your life, it's too short not to. I'm beyond proud of you!!
Your feelings are valid. It’s a TOUGH journey. And unfortunately Henny or other family will never 100% understand what you went thru. But even if they don’t understand it, they do have an obligation to support you on your own personal journey. Because everything you’re feeling is how all moms feel in some way or another.
Get yourself a great group of mom friends who truly understand you.. they will really hold you down 🖤
It’s not selfish or vain to also wanna take care of your needs/wants and still wanna live out your dreams. You are STILL A PERSON 🙌🏽 you are still LAUREN! Not just “mama”!!
LAUREN!! You are killing it in every way. I am so inspired by your strength, personality, vulnerability and your relationship. I have been watching you since the vine days and I am SOOO happy to see you in this time of your life. You have this personality where I feel like at any stage of your life you still feel very connected to your audience, it is so rare and genuine to see that from a youtube/creator these days. It is also amazing that you share those moments of doubt about yourself. I think that is a great way to discuss what most women feel now a days regarding having a baby and post baby!! You are growing up and so are we! So proud
Lauren, it’s beautiful that you also show your vulnerable! It encourages each and everyone of us that it is ok to not always be ok…that we don’t always have to pretend we have everything figured out! Life is challenging and especially when you have responsibility for another human being! You are doing great, sweety! Lots of love from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤
As a 24 yr old mom I see you and I LOVE your videos. Your mentality has been so motivating throughout my pregnancy and motherhood. Its hard but you’re doing amazing. Your feelings are so valid but just keep doing you. Rio is so blessed to have the best mommy❤
One of my fav videos, we always love the real you lauren! Your the best mom, wife, friend and I hope you find yourself some grace and feel the love! Everyone has there struggles no matter what situation they are in, you deserve to feel whatever feelings low or high! XOXO
I love that you are open about not recognizing your body after birth and not wanting to come off as vain I was there 10 yrs ago and feeling like a bad mom but having your child love you no matter what is very uplifting.
