I could listen to Ophelia talk for the rest of my life. What an incredibly inspiring & well spoken woman! I appreciate you using your platform to interview her Laura. 10/10
This! Her voice is so soothing. It feels like a safe space, like a mama. And hearing her story, how much shit she went through, and how gracious and loving and kind she still is? It’s beyond inspiring. She’s just wonderful.
My heart absolutely broke for her during that video and other videos! Lord, the pain of a momma losing a child, is the worst pain and sound you will ever hear! I was in the ER with my baby years ago and years a doctor tell a momma she lost her baby and it was the most blood curdling scream I have ever heard and I will never forget! So my heart breaks for any momma that loses a child no matter how they lose them! I have one child and I can’t imagine!!
Ophelia is an absolute blessing and a breath of fresh air. I strive to be the kind of person she is & I wish a knew an Ophelia in real life. I wish nothing but the world for this woman ❤
I remember her life as a child being very abusive. She is open with that and her testimony really hit home and relieved me of guilt I had been carrying for walking away from my mom, a long time ago. I never saw her again. She died in 2002. Thank you for your honesty.
"I fought with him to fight for him"... that sentence has power. A video i needed. Thankyou Laura, ive been watching you since the Steeeeeven videos. Never knew of Ophelia but now a fan!
I would’ve never guessed a sweet soul like her had been through so much. She’s remained kind, sweet, genuine, and beautiful through it all. What a lesson I’ve witnessed.
She has cried many times. You learn how to tell Randon’s story to keep his memory alive. My mom died from ALS and I tell hers all the time. I cry occasionally. ❤️
@@saxyben81 my condolences 🙏🏾💜😔 my father passed 7 years ago. To avoid telling the story I made a video. I can talk about it now. Just the first couple years I had to play the video instead.
It depends on the day, to be honest...It's not easy..I lost my daughter ..and when people ask about her....somtimes I can talk about her with out crying and some days..i just can't even talk...its depends on the day....to be honest..
I don't know this lady, but she is gold!! Stopping generational trauma by being the opposite of what you received (what broke you) as a child, is the best thing you can do with your life xx
Her voice is so soothing. It feels like a safe space, like a mama wrapping you up in her arms. And hearing her story, how much shit she went through, and how gracious and loving and kind she still is? It’s beyond inspiring. She’s just wonderful. As someone who had a baby at 17, I wish I’d had her videos back when I was a new mom. Especially with my child’s father also having a drug addiction and me trying to love him into sobriety. I needed someone who’d had a baby young and loved a man unwilling to help himself and who still came out it an inspiration instead of a scary statistic. I needed someone who’d make me feel like I wasn’t a tragedy waiting to happen, and when you’re a young mom, everyone makes you feel like you’re gonna fuck your kid up no matter what you do. Even though I’m 27 now and a law student and I’ve beaten the scary statistics and I didn’t have these videos back when I *really* needed them, hearing Mama Tot tell her story still feels like it’s healing a part of me that was broken. And it inspires me to do even more, to be more than successful- but to be kind and loving without expectation, to turn myself into a safe place for people who need it.
You're wise beyond your years sweet girl!! I had my daughter at 16, she's now 27 and just became a mom herself. I didn't graduate college, but I wanted that for her and she's so much better and more than I ever could have expected! She graduated college, married her college boyfriend and they're both teachers and now they just had their first child. I just wanted to tell you how proud of you I am and that you're kicking butt at life!! 💪🏼❤️🫶🏼
I lost my boyfriend and then a month later Ophelia lost her son. Watching her openness in her grief and healing helped me through mine. I love her so much ❤❤❤
The trauma response of being hyper vigilant in reading the mood in the room.... every person everywhere who identifies as an "empath" feels exactly the same way. I come from generations of trauma from bipolar disorder and mental illness. I try every single day to break that cycle with my own children. It's so hard when you are trying to heal yourself too.
I love how Laura doesn’t interrupt when someone’s talking! She says hairy words to let them know she’s paying attention and always looking at them but never interrupts!!! I think it’s beautiful!!! Such a great interviewer!!!
What a beautiful conversation, its really refreshing to listen to a podcast where the the interviewer allows the person to just talk and not interrupt alot.
I can relate to everything she said about being raised by a bipolar mother. Especially the anxiety of coming home from school and not knowing who to expect on the other side of the door.
Thank you Ophelia. I appreciate how vulnerable you were during this discussion. Well done Laura. I appreciate that you gave Opie the time and space to share her stories without interruption.
When my boyfriend of 8 yrs. Passed unexpectedly and Young 😔 mama tot and you Laura is what helped me through ❤️ litterly 😔 jellyroll and his wife bunnie helped me as well. All of your souls was placed here for a reason ❤️ thank you 💕
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss!! I lost my fiance to an overdose in 2015. Jelly Rolls music has helped me tremendously, and his wife Bunnie and I share a birthday (1-22-1980). They're both truly beautiful souls! I'm so very sorry for your loss and I'm sending you love & light along your healing journey. ❤️🫶🏼🫂
Laura you did such a good job interviewing Mama Tot. You asked great questions and listened so well. I love the direction this channel is going and I just love the both of you so much
I was just blown away by this. I could listen to Ophellia talk all day long. I just want to say thank you for giving her the opportunity to share her story and thank you for sharing your story. It was so unbelievably powerful it has just stuck with me all day long. And Laura I am loving seeing you move through this journey and the healing and grief and you just allowing that process to continue as it needs to in order for you to heal.
A million thanks for having Mama Tot in your podcast. This is the kind of interview I love to see & hear. A genuine and authentic lady with a beautiful light and soul. One of the best. Thanks so much. ♥♥♥
I've lost my mom, daddy, and my sister in just the last year. But I could never imagine the hurt of losing a child. Mama tot you are an inspiration. Your content helps me more than you'll ever know.
I'm so sorry 4 ur loss. I lost mom and sister a year apart it feels like ur barely hanging in there accepting and adjusting bammm more pain. Huggs ❤ I can't imagine losing a child. I'll die
@@freespirit_17 my mom's gna b 2years on the 7th and my sister a year on valentines. Plus got A terminal illness on chemotherapy right now its hitting hard. But only the strong survive
I love to hear people talking about discernment. Also known as intuition. It's definitely a gift. It seems almost supernatural, but it can be learned and refined.
I’m sure you won’t see my comment although I WISH to God you do! Thank you. I lost my baby brother to suicide 8 months ago. I was there the day he was born. I’m 12 yrs older than him. To say our hearts are shattered is an understatement. There are no words. My mom. No words for watching her grieve. My dad wakes up every morning sobbing. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I love what you said that you live for your other children and your grand baby. I hve no doubt my parents will get there. Please pray for us as we head into our first Christmas without our Liam. God bless you 😘
My daughter absolutely adores Ophelia and was devastated for her when she lost her son, I'm thankful that my girl has Ophelia in her life, even if it is only on Tic Tok
I came in on the Help Helen era too. I loved watching your family, then the whole breakup. As someone who has been suicidal off and on for life, I sympathized with Stephen at first, but then watching him spiral into madness...Well, I spend most of my life standing at the edge of the gangplank. I am not about to follow someone out to the tip of it and risk hopping off.
I remember seeing the video of Mama Tot letting everyone know exactly WHAT and WHOM was stolen from her & her family... i bawled & i barely knew Mama Tot at the time. But thats when i started watching... little did i know not even 2 months would pass & my oldest son's daddy would die. Watching mama tot helped me be able to move along the emotions, the grief & continuing to be a mama to my boys, especially my oldest who was suffering, is still suffering. My life story is just so much like Ophelias & i relate to her immensely. Laura. Thank you so much for this... it was everything i needed at this time in my life...esp before the holidays. With all of my heart, I say thank you. ❤ For the record - the youtube beauty influencer Mama Tot was disappointed by, i believe is Laura Lee. I think bc she is from Alabama as well & her personality match up (as in what ophelia described- cockiness etc).
The first time I heard Mama Tot, it felt like home! ALABAMA GIRL here. My life has many similarities. Love my Daddy 💙 RIP. If my family or friend's need me, I give them my full support & love! 🙏💙✌️🔮 🤗
She is the perfect definition of the name "Ophelia" Ophelia is a Greek girl's name meaning "help," "aid," or "advantage." This name is best known for the tragic heroine in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Although Ophelia's story is heartbreaking and poignant, the name also represents beauty and selflessness. Mama-Tot to a T ❤
Lots to think about, the choices we make or don't make, made or didn't make. I swear, sitting in on this video is in some ways triggering, remembering the crazy things that happened in my own life. And yet, hearing and seeing your words MamaTot, feeling your compassion and fortitude, bringing us along is like going through rapids on a river. Sometimes we have to paddle harder to get to calmer waters. The fact that we are still alive, is a testament in itself to perserverence and determination. Bless you Laura, Bless you MamaTot 💖❤️🔥💜🥲
Hearing why you are sensitive to other people’s emotions.. and hearing why you had to be, reminded me of my own childhood, very similar. I never connected that is why I am so sensitive to others feelings or why I pick up on other people’s emotions so well. Thank you for helping me understand that momma tot..😢❤
@feighfarr8393 yes I've known for months. His dad died due to do a drug addiction. From what mamatot says he was a bad drug addict. Randon was probably selling a bad of weed. She talks about him smoking pot. I don't think he was an addict.
I never thought I’d see Ophelia on your channel ! This is so special , thank you for much for this interview. I wish this was longer , you should have her back again !
This was a wonderful podcast, Laura. You were respectful & let the conversation flow. Ophelia is such an inspiration. She has so much compassion for others & strength of character. Love her
It’s so freeing hearing Ophelia talk about her life and her story. I went through 2 years of physical and mental abuse with my daughters father and the entire first year of her life was lies and manipulation and abuse and I finally had enough and cut him off completely after her first birthday. That was a month ago and we are both so happy and healthy and thriving being away from him. My mental health is so much better and I’m happier and physically healthier now. I love hearing her talk about what she’s been through because it shows me that no matter what i went through, i will always be okay in the end and so will my baby girl.
I cried watching this. Especially the part about her ex-husband. I feel like that's how I am with my husband of 24 years. His addictions have led me to fight for him since we met. Even today, at 42 years old, I'm still fighting. I don't know if I should give up and walk away or keep fighting. Some days, it drains me. I don't think I'm as strong as Ophelia is to leave and start on my own. Anyway, thank you for this, Laura. 💓
Thank you for your honesty and both of your strong hearts in this world. Ophelia is an amazing human who has seen and experienced things that has made her such a kind and loving human!!
Ophelia said that people always say that they needed to hear her words and I always felt that watching her TikTok’s, but damn I was not expecting to REALLY need to see this video😭 She’a such a good role model! Loved seeing these strong amazing women together❤️
What a beautiful woman. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your strength is a light to others who are suffering. God bless you! God bless you too Laura… you’ve also been through so much and you are going to make it through. 🥰🫶🏼
Mama tot. You have helped me so much i grew up in a home that was full of chaos and trauma. Im still healing and trying to be the best mom i can be for my 3 kids. You are such a inspiration. Love you mama tot ❤❤❤❤
Love your personality, humor, and all the guests you have on you podcast, Laura! But I gotta say, I’d love to see even more of these types of guests. I LOVE MAMA TOT!! I’ve heard some of her story before, but she’s so warm and loving and I just adore hearing her talk about anything. 💕💕💕
I’ve been following momma tot since that very first video and Laura helped me stay sane in an abusive relationship. It’s really awesome to see both of you sitting and chatting 🥰
I just love mamatot. She's an amazing person and she's been through so much. I find it inspiring that she's this well put together after all the things she's had to overcome. ❤
Laura you did such a fantastic job with this interview. I love Mama Tot, and you interviewed her with such sensitivity and empathy, it was like watching two of my best friends chatting. Well done and much love to you both ❤
This was amazing! Laura you were the perfect person to interview her, listening and asking questions without over talking her and I enjoyed this so much!❤
Speechless…. You did so amazing just letting her speak and share. Thank you both. I miss my mom every single day, thank you both for uplifting and supporting everyone… everyone deserves love and support and safety ❤
Wow. Just wow. I have followed both Laura and Ophelia since the beginning. I loved them before, but now I respect both of them so much more. Laura for her ability to put Ophelia at ease and Ophelia for her showing us all how to forgive and treat people w love and kindness.
First I need to say Laura you did an absolute amazing job with this interview! One of the best I have seen you do! I knew I loved Mama Tot but this just confirms it! She is such a light to a dark world and I never realized I needed to heal from things of my childhood to better my adult life! I struggle with addiction and to see how much unconditional love she has for people makes me feel like I'm worthy of better! I love Laura so much and have been following her since forever! Love love.love her!
It’s amazing how much she’s gone through yet is still just a BEACON for other people. She has such a special light that the universe tries to put out but she’s too bright.
Oh my Goodness! I had almost the exact same childhood as Mama Tot! My Daddy was in the car business and my Mama was not nurturing and you never knew what to expect. I’m sorry you went through that. You are so amazing!!!
“I’m not a perfect one, but I’m a present one” that’s what every parent needs to be ❤

How many times did you cry?
Me: Yes.

Talking this openly about her mom while her mom is alive ...she's more brave than anyone I know
She talks regularly about how she doesn't have a relationship with her. She decided she couldn't have her in her life to protect her children.
I remember her life as a child being very abusive. She is open with that and her testimony really hit home and relieved me of guilt I had been carrying for walking away from my mom, a long time ago. I never saw her again. She died in 2002. Thank you for your honesty.

Amen to that!!
Her story about when she first made a TikTok to help that young girl “quick fast and in a hurry” gave me chills ❤
The collaboration I didn’t know I needed. Love you both! ♥️

Came here to say that as well!!

I have to say this is one of your best interviews. It's nice to see something different than your your other interviews & seriousness.
The honesty and strength this woman exudes is inspiring
It’s so freeing hearing Ophelia talk about her life and her story. I went through 2 years of physical and mental abuse with my daughters father and the entire first year of her life was lies and manipulation and abuse and I finally had enough and cut him off completely after her first birthday. That was a month ago and we are both so happy and healthy and thriving being away from him. My mental health is so much better and I’m happier and physically healthier now. I love hearing her talk about what she’s been through because it shows me that no matter what i went through, i will always be okay in the end and so will my baby girl.
Best interview of the year. Love you Mamma Tot!
I’m so happy I came across this today. I love momma tot she is always so uplifting.
I cried watching this. Especially the part about her ex-husband. I feel like that's how I am with my husband of 24 years. His addictions have led me to fight for him since we met. Even today, at 42 years old, I'm still fighting. I don't know if I should give up and walk away or keep fighting. Some days, it drains me. I don't think I'm as strong as Ophelia is to leave and start on my own.
Anyway, thank you for this, Laura. 💓
So strong, beautiful, emotional ladies ❤ thank you xxx
16:17 literally me. i’m going to bawl my eyes out right now.

Thank you for your honesty and both of your strong hearts in this world. Ophelia is an amazing human who has seen and experienced things that has made her such a kind and loving human!!
Man I was not ready to cry but I did. I love how open and honest mama tot is and she is such a blessing to this world
8 minutes in and I'm sobbing. A genuine heart like Ophelias is so touching.
Ophelia said that people always say that they needed to hear her words and I always felt that watching her TikTok’s, but damn I was not expecting to REALLY need to see this video😭 She’a such a good role model! Loved seeing these strong amazing women together❤️
What a beautiful woman. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your strength is a light to others who are suffering. God bless you!

I have followed both Laura and Ophelia since the beginning.
I loved them before, but now I respect both of them so much more. Laura for her ability to put Ophelia at ease and Ophelia for her showing us all how to forgive and treat people w love and kindness.
What a lovely conversation even though at times incredibly sad. Much love to the both of you. ❤
The combo we didn’t know we needed.
Two of my favorite people on social media together ❤❤❤ I read both of Laura’s books and I love these two women so much ❤
First I need to say Laura you did an absolute amazing job with this interview! One of the best I have seen you do! I knew I loved Mama Tot but this just confirms it! She is such a light to a dark world and I never realized I needed to heal from things of my childhood to better my adult life! I struggle with addiction and to see how much unconditional love she has for people makes me feel like I'm worthy of better! I love Laura so much and have been following her since forever! Love love.love her!
Absolutely what I needed to hear today. Thank you! ❤️
Opie! Ahhhh, this is awesome. Love to see it. Beautiful episode Laura!
It’s amazing how much she’s gone through yet is still just a BEACON for other people. She has such a special light that the universe tries to put out but she’s too bright.
Oh my Goodness! I had almost the exact same childhood as Mama Tot! My Daddy was in the car business and my Mama was not nurturing and you never knew what to expect. I’m sorry you went through that. You are so amazing!!!
