- Today we are chatting while applying some of my 2023 favourite makeup items. A little warning - there are tears today. Today we get VERY deep. I’m going to talk with you about some of the true struggles I had postpartum, my New Years resolutions and goals, health and wellness, gardening, my identity, advice with bullying and some of the lessons I have learnt lately. Remember to give yourself grace, fight the good fight with this world but look after yourself as well. Sending love xoxo

Oh you sweet angel. Please don't downplay your emotions. You're not being dramatic in any capacity. Your emotions are valid ❤ love you so much
Sending you lots of love ❤ I’m so sorry you had such a hard year 😞❤️
The most wonderful part of getting older is understanding why people do what they do - understanding everyone is trying their best, and stumbling along, same as me. I've let go of a lot of frustrations I've held onto for years - I need grace, so I give it more freely now.
Hey!! Been here since the beginning and I am so proud of the woman you have become! It feels weird saying that since you have no idea who I am but it’s so beautiful to see the life you have created for yourself. Again, weird to say but you feel like a friend and a safe space. I’m so grateful that you have stayed true to yourself through all these years and not compromising who you are for the algorithm. You’re so real and that’s why I love your channel. I appreciate your vulnerability, it makes us feel connected. Thank you for allowing us to watch along :)
I second this! Shannon, your personal growth has been amazing. I feel like a proud friend, even though I don't know you. The people who watch you absolutely adore you. xo

Loving the rawness of this video. Yet another reason why I still watch soooo many years later. #BlueSmokeyEyeCrew
Its crazy how human stories are the same everywhere on earth ! I was literally crying with you because although am from the other part of the world & probably have nothing in common with your culture & background but i have lived through exactly the same story. Baby at 7 month , not breastfeeding well, still struggling with postpartum depression, dad died , while he was going through divorce with my mom who he has been married to for 28 years! The guilt , the heartache, the sorrow of knowing that he will never know my now toddler! Oh my god … your story brought it all back again. Worst part is we all were siding with mom through the divorce, we probably broke his heart to death! The divorce was never final. And i never got to tell my dad how thankful i am for how supportive he was to me while i was going through postpartum. Im so sorry dad, i miss you ❤️🩹
I’m in the process of losing my mom to cancer… I know the fear of that disease.
My heart just BROKE for you when you mentioned your granddad & your son. I cried with you watching this 😢
Sending you BIG HUGS
I’m so so sorry to hear that. Sending all of my love to you 💗
@@shaaanxo Thank you 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it 🩷
Much love and blessings to you and your family
Shan you don't sound dramatic at all, this would too be traumatizing to me as well. Yes this year, give yourself grace, meditate, love, breathe,enjoy life.... I appreciate and love your transparency. Love You Shan 🙏🏽💕
Noone truly prepares you for motherhood. Breastfeeding for some is SUCH a hard journey. That alone messed me up, nevermind the fact I had such a traumatic birth. I wont be having anymore cause I just cant lol. My daughter is almost 2.5 and I am so blessed to have her, but boy parenthood is so challenging. Thank you for being so raw. This is your year 💕
Girl, my daughter is 2.5 years old. And my body, physically and mentally, are soo different. I gained over 70 pounds when pregnant and I cannot get it off. I also just found out I'm pregnant again, when I was finally getting to a point where, doctor wise, on the right tract. But this pregnancy I hope to be way healthier with better foods, and working out. ❤❤
I learned that I cannot shift any weight after a baby until they've been weaned for 6 months. Then it starts to come off--but for a couple of them, that was time enough for me to be pregnant again.
Oh, Shan, I’m so sorry you had such a trying year two years ago. You’re so strong and beautiful. I’m so glad you had a healing year. You deserve it. Keep going girl, you got this, momma! ❤
In the last couple months I’ve gotten out of a toxic relationship, lost a friendship, changed jobs, and hit so many mental slumps. But through it all, I’m learning to give myself grace and to focus more on myself and the good. Thank you Shannon for opening up and helping me realize that everyone is going thru something in their lives. Keep your head up, you’re doing great love. Much love to you and your family ❤️❤️
Stay strong ! Xx
Thinking of you xx
I loved how honest you were. I feel like a lot of us kinda just hit the ground running after the pandemic and didn’t really give ourselves time to decompress from it. We all collectively went through a lot. And becoming a mom through it must have been hard. I feel like i am finally processing it, i was real sick during it, long hauler. Better now. Anyway appreciated knowing i am not the only one having a rough go and feeling like there is so much awfulness in the world. You asked to share something we are proud of, for me, i figured out a plan to get out of law school student debt. I still have 5 years of extreme frugality to do it, but hoping to have a kid after. Also, i am taking a test for a possible promotion tomorrow, wish me luck, would def accelerate my goal!
I love your realness so much. It is why you're one of my favorite creators. You are so strong, so real, you stick to what you believe in, and it shares such a good message to your viewers no matter their age. Also, your feelings are so valid, it is definitely not dramatic at all how you feel about going through such a scary time. ❤
I have had that same thing with UA-cam Influencers I follow. I have unfollowed all of the people I used to follow, except for you. Literally you are the only one who is the same, I follow a bunch of life type people now and I think you still fit into that new part of me. I like your personality, and family etc.
As a nurse I can tell you never accept what a dr says- you have to argue and demand that they do it. Plus 101 is to do a full body assessment. You know your little boy better than anyone.
Sounds like you had a similar post partum experience to me - I only ended up having one kid because of it and she's 7 now and thriving. Watching your kid grow up is simultaneously the most joyful and painful thing. You relive your own childhood as your kid grows up
I call them a focus rather than a goal because then it’s about being better not about a final thing being achieved and instead improvement
As one of your younger viewers who has been watching you for over 7 years. I love you. You are so real and it helps me want to be my realest everyday. You are like the big sister that is just like me and i'm glad I was able to have you all these years. 😘
Eating whole foods and juicing absolutely changed my life. I managed to come off antidepressant’s by doing that everyday (organic, fresh and lots of greens and spices and ginger etc). I’m not saying for anyone else to do so, but while doing that I was the happiest I’ve EVER been. I’ve fallen off the bandwagon a little because of being broke and so busy at uni… but I totally get it.
Thanks for the honest chat. You have continued to be a UA-camr I’ve consistently watched over all these years because you’ve stayed so relatable and chill to watch. God bless you and your family. ❤
When Shannon posts, the only thing to do is click 😂 Happy New Year’s babes! x
This might be my favorite video of yours and I’ve been following for over a decade. So happ you’re enjoying toddlerhood. My son is 6 and we had a lot of trouble getting pregnant (he will probably be our only) and I’m learning to embrace that and think of the positives of having one child that I can give my all to and my marriage that I can really focus on and… it’s nice we can all fit in one row in an airplane which is nice haha 💛💛 thanks for being so honest. Your growth is so apparent and the wisdom is appreciated.
Thank you for being as raw and open as you have here ❤ I am going through the hardest time I’ve ever had with my 15 yr old daughter, and some of your thoughts you’ve shared here, I really needed to hear.
I’m sorry you’ve suffered so much but you truly should be so proud of how you’ve made it through it all ❤
Oh Shan, I am sending you the biggest hug from Wellington! I can't imagine the pain of the scare with Porter's health, that's completely awful and I'm so glad he is okay. You're so tough and such a good Mum. I have spoken to many Mums recently who have been like "I am traumatised from this!" despite the immense love, so it's really meaningful that you are being so honest.
If I could LOVE this video I would a million times over. We're close in age and I started watching you when I was about 18 I think...so yeah 12 years, but you've always been such a source of positivity and light in my not so bright life. You're an amazing person with valid emotions. Keep doing the things that make you happy ❤
one of my favorite hobbies is caring for all my houseplants. I probably have like 200 plants. it snows where I live, so I can’t garden outdoors year round and I adore all my little plant babies around my house.
I love watching these videos. I feel so privileged when you open up to us and I love how real you keep it. Here’s to a bountiful garden harvest this summer and a year of self care ❤
This was a blessing to watch. Thank you for reminding me to give myself grace. I’m so happy you are thriving in this fresh start to the new year. May God continue to keep you and your beautiful family. ❤🙏🏽
This look is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I'm so happy you're feeling better, Shan. So much of what you experienced would have set anyone back but you used it to blossom into being and doing everything you can to be a better mom, wife, daughter and friend! You're sharing what you did to get through it by nurturing self growth and good mental health with the right foods and wholesome hobbies and by getting that time outside enjoying nature! You never fail to inspire!!! Love your content, no matter what your mood, Shan!!!
I feel like you are super real. No BS. Very Authentic. I just started watching your videos and i absolutley love you! Thanks for being you 😊
My goal for this year is to focus on me, I have not been focusing on myself and listening to my needs and that’s my goal. One thing I am proud of is, I made my first over seas dream a really, I am a Disney girl at heart and it has been and still is a dream to visit Disney land and world. 2023 I got the opportunity to do exactly that while doing something I love (dancing).
So sorry for your hardships and thank you for being vulnerable with us. It’s refreshing to hear other 30 something’s talk about their opinions and give solid, relatable advice. I’m 35 and have been depressed for a solid 2 years. The world around us is in shambles and it’s hard to stay optimistic. Social media for the most part is gross to me, I will never get on TikTok, I rarely use instagram and just prefer long form content such as vlogs on UA-cam. I hope more people can disconnect from the internet, learn a hobby, hangout with friends and family more, go outside and be active and just enjoy life without being worried about other peoples opinions ❤
You are definitely doing your best, I am too! We all are! To live is not easy. The fact that we are still standing means a lot. I am glad you have had a healing year. 2023 was a good one to me too. And please, keep doing the things that you love, it is what has made me stay since 2016 😌👏🏼
Loved watching this Shannon and hearing all the updates on your life! I’ve missed watching your videos 🥹❤️ Hope you had a great Christmas and new year 🎄
Love your channel. Seeing and hearing your growth over the years is so heart warming. 💜
You have been through so much in such a short amount of time, and here you are stronger than ever and making sure to fill your cup. So proud of you x
Thank you for sharing all of this and especially the post-partum struggles during such a shit time! I'm due in March and it's so refreshing to hear a raw account of how life happens and it's hard! I'm happy that you feel like you are in a better place. Remember it's ok to not be ok ❤
U continue to show us who u are the kind heart you have!!! I appreciate you so much!!
You’re like the big sister I never had! So glad that you share your life/experiences that are so real and relatable. You’re such a true. beautiful and strong person and I hope 2024 is a great year for you xx
I love how raw and vulnerable you are. It is so brave of you.
You’re such a breath of fresh air, been here from the start and feel like I have grown with you. Can completely resonate with finding balance and separating your identity from work.
Love the messages you’re sharing!
Sending you so much love and hugs Shan!! You are so sweet! I can relate to so much of what you’re going through. Keep your head up, I love that your so open and honest with your videos. You make my days better! ❤
🧡🧡🧡 thank you for being so vulnerable, love you Shan
I love when you open up and do videos like these. It makes you even more relatable because so many of us feel the same as you do on things!
Watching you grow and change and adapt over the last 10 or so years has been so heartwarming. You have always been a comfort watch for me as I’ve been growing up too. I’ve always loved that you do what you want and not what’s on trend. Also never apologise for your emotions, I couldn’t even imagine the panic with your little one. So glad he’s ok. How you manage to do UA-cam, XO beauty, be a mum and now have a hobby in gardening I’ll never know… SUPERWOMAN!!😂❤
I’m Canadian, we had The Wiggles growing up. Me, my sister and our cousins would dance our hearts out watching them. My nephew could careless about them.. My niece on the other hand is obsessed!! I love watching her learn the dances, and watching the surprised look on her face when she realizes that I know them too is priceless. 💕
Shannon, I really loved this video with you being real and reflecting on your life the past years. It was like a conversation with a good friend. You are so intelligent and such a good person. Best wishes!
Shan you are so bloody strong, I can’t believe all you went thru over the past few years ❤ Iv been subbed to you since you were filming clubbing GRWM in your dads house and Iv always related to you. I needed to hear a lot of this, I’m also a first time mum, my little boy is roughly 6 months younger than port and hearing your struggles hit me, Iv struggled so bad post partum and I’m forever comparing myself to the social media mums or how I’m suppose to be as a mum but you’ve opened my eyes and I know I’m doing a good job. Thank you for always sharing and being so relatable. Hope you and your family have the best year & 2024 is full of love and happiness for you 🫶🏻
Sending so much love, you have had a hard year ❤
I can totally relate to the older vibes now as I turn 31 this year and have a Two year old. Your focuses and life changes with motherhood and age.
I’ve followed you for soo long and enjoy being in the background watching all your videos and being along the similar journeys as you in life.
something I’m proud of doing this year was I made peace with my relationship with certain family and learned to not let it negatively affect me so severely.
Hi Shannon! I've watched your videos for many many years and I have enjoyed seeing you evolve throughout the past decade.. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with Mt first child, a boy.. and I appreciate your advice in this video. I appreciate your honesty and raw emotion and the fact that you are able to share these difficult parts of your life. I honestly have grown to care about you so much as if you were my best friend! And I always look forward to a new video from you. I appreciate you so much and I just want you to know that you have made a huge impact in my life. Xoxo xoxo love you!!!!
Sending love, Shan! I was tearing up with you when you were discussing your familial traumas. Your grandad is/was/would be so proud of you! I hope you can give yourself grace. ❤
This was everything I needed today!!!!
i'm 25. i always pictured myself married by this age. pretty much all my friends are married now, but not me. i've never even been in a relationship😅 a couple years ago, i was so down about still being single. i felt so worthless, so unlovable, so pathetic. my anxiety also had me convinced that everyone i knew looked down on me, or thought so little of me, just bcuz i was still single. i guess i was basing my worth on whether or not i had a partner. over the past year, that changed. i think i've finally found contentment. thats not to say i'm not open to finding someone - i'm just no longer actively pursuing anyone or anything. i'm just focusing on myself, on living my best life, day by day, and by doing everything to enjoy my single days. if something happens at some point, great! if not, i think i'd still live a very fulfilling life, just as a single woman - and that's totally fine with me💜
Shannon, I have watched you for soooo many years. I am 58. I am so impressed with how you handled and continue to handle yourself through such difficult times. You have really grown as a person and are very insightful. I’m impressed you recognized the hard times and are giving yourself grace.❤❤❤😊
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. There were so many things you said that I related to 100%. You are doing an amazing job! My son is 15 now and I seriously can't remember a thing about the person I was before him. I definitely am enjoying this phase more than when he was younger because he's like a full human now with his own thoughts, opinions, and personality. It's so cool. I'm in the States and I watched the wiggles with my son. He used to love them!! Thank you for being you and letting us in. We love you! 💚
Well done Shan, so happy that you’re embracing new chapters in life, everything you said echoes what I think too. You’ve done so much with your content and positivity for so many people, including me, and those of us who love you will always be here to check in, because you’ve been in your own lane the whole time, & that was a smart move as you have created a community. Sending love for a great 2024 mumma ❤
I love you and your videos so much. Thank you for being truly real! I enjoyed this video so much, especially the true emotions of the struggles.
Thank you for being so vulnerable! I felt all of this. My baby girl is 5 months and I’m still in a funk about all the changes my body went through. She had a scare in the nicu when she was born and I think I still have moments where I have some anxiety. But becoming a mom and seeing you become a mom has been so cool to watch after following you since college.
Been watching your channel for over 10 years, just wanted to say that I love that you've allowed yourself to grow and become an adult, and let your content grow with you. We're about the same age, so it's been so easy to continue watching your channel. You're such a genuine person and I always resonate with you. Excited to see you thrive in 2024!
Appreciate you and all of your content. This has been of of my favorite videos. Thank you and here's to keep healing in 2024 x
Oh my gosh yes I have a 7 month old and I’ve found it sooo hard. It’s so nice to see someone like you be real about it and say hey it’s ok to not be ok. I think like you I’ll enjoy the toddler stage more too ❤
Shan you are an incredible human being, been watching u for SO many years and no one will ever come close to how genuine and safe place u are. much love to u!!!!!
I have been watching you shan for 8 years ! ( and im 22 😲 ) The woman you were 8 years ago vs now, makes you such a big inspiration for me ! You have grown so much and i hope you are proud of everything you have accomplished and be proud of your tears ! They make you incredibly beautiful 🥰🫶🏼
Thanks for being real. Wishing you a beautiful 2024, full of happiness, good health and great memories. It’s so nice to see someone like you be so raw. You’re incredibly strong and inspiring ✨
Great Kōrero, nice to know someone else was in that painful yet necessary self growth season for the past couple of years. Here’s to 2024 being a year of harvest 🙏🏼
&& please don’t stop the deep talks, I appreciate them so much in a world that is so fake & straight up cooked!
Happy New year to you and yours from from me & mine ❤
thanks for being so open, really appreciate it
I’m so sorry you had an emotional year, you always have so much love and support around you. My heart broke when you were telling us about your grandpa and porter 😢 I lost my grandpa and my dad within 4 months in 2021. Just remember to always be kind to yourself, allow yourself to feel the emotions and don’t put so much pressure on yourself!! Hamish and porter are so lucky to have you xxxx ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Shannon! I had twins last year and everything you said about postpartum really resonates with me. I’m still not out of it yet but it makes me happy to see how far you’ve come. I’ve watched you for years and I love how real your videos are! I think I will feel the same way about enjoying the boys when they get older and more interactive! Wishing you and your family a calming, healing 2024 ❤
So much love to you gal! This is so much to go through x you’re a precious soul
You have grown so much!!! I love that for you! I agree with you on everything you have said. Following you on your journey has been so inspiring ❤ you inspire me to be better and take better care of myself. I love hearing your chats about whatever its so relateable, im a mum of 1 with 1 on the way! But man watching your growth has been the best thing ever. ❤❤ you are doing amazing shaaan! Xx
NOT dramatic I can’t even imagine! I’m so upset they made such an error! The mental distress! I’m so thankful he is ok. You are so kind to empathize with other families you are a sweetheart! Beautiful inside and out! ❤
Life is full of growing PAINS emotionally as well as physically but we do get Through them and on the other side we reflect the lessons we learn and we become wiser and stronger to handle future situations…all we can do is truly be kind to ourselves through all the ups and downs as life is truly like a rollercoaster ups downs happy fearful but what an excelerating ride! I’ve watched your videos for definitely ten plus years and you should feel so proud of yourself as you are a truly good person with a kind heart 🥰
Oh, Shan! Listening to you talk about your grand dad. I just wanted to hug you!!! I'm sure he is looking down on your family!! All the love and hugs to you!!
I agree! I love the toddler stage too x
This video was like therapy, everything you shared was so special and vulnerable in the most admirable way. I felt so seen, and cried along with you. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. My postpartum experience was so traumatic for me that I have the hardest time imagining having another child as much as I always dreamed of having a big family. My baby turned 2 a couple months ago, and I’ve changed as a person so significantly and I wouldn’t have it any other way because I live a much more wholesome life. like you were saying you just see things so differently now and don’t want to just live in consuming. Sending you so much love 🩷🩷🩷🩷
35:58 the beach is my sanctuary. Shoulders drop and everything relaxes.
I enjoy all your videos Shan, don’t ever worry about being too heavy in your videos. This channel is an outlet for you and whatever you want to share. I’m sorry you had such a hard time. But it’s nice to not feel like I’m the only one who life turns to crap for sometimes.
I needed this video today, it resonated so much with me. I have been watching you videos for forever, and it's amazing seeing you blossom as this wonderful strong being!
I have watched you since i was 12 (ill be 24 in march) i have loved watching you grow into the woman you are as i grow into the woman that i am, and im so happy and proud that you did not go down the same road so many other beauty youtubers have gone. I have both of the palettes you made with BH cosmetics and even though they are definitely expired i still use them almost every single day!! I had to glue the remix pallet back together because its so well loved. Im praying for your healing, growth and peace!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for trusting your community enough to share those things ❤ This year I had a baby and also found you have to have a lot of courage and advocate otherwise you’ll get run over/ dismissed
Ohh shan. Broke my heart see you crying. Sending you good vibes ❤❤
Love you so much shan ❤ thank you for sharing, you've been through so much that I relate to and it means a lot ❣
I love gardening and being outside! It’s really good for your mental health, so agree. You should be very proud of yourself!! I’m so sorry about your granddad. That hurts my heart that he never got to meet Porter and that he’s gone. Hugs
First off, I just want to say I love your videos and the amount of transparency you have - you're not afraid to talk about the hard stuff, and it's really nice to have someone to relate to.
I love the idea of having "New Year's Goals" as opposed to "Resolutions", because I know I always failed mine.
Last year was both amazing and devastating for me. I went out of my comfort zone and travelled to a different country solo to meet someone I had met online... who then turned around and broke my heart. The experience itself was magical and everything I wanted it to be, however the aftermath... it threw me into a state of depression worse than any I had ever experienced before. I ended up gaining about 40 lbs after that, and I've been miserable. Which is why my goal this year is to work on losing all that weight, and doing things that make me happy again. ☺
I am sorry for your lost Shanon 🕊️ You have been trough a lot at once, and that is overwhelming, you are human as we all and the beautiful thing with you is you being so honest and share your feelings on here honestly, I am sure your grant dad would been so prof you🕊️🌺💚
You are more lovable when you are you🥰
Loved listening to this whilst doing chores. So real and uplifting ❤
I really hope you heal soon from everything you spoke about I’m sorry about everything you went through you’re so strong ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really needed this today, thank you so much ❤
Shannon I've been watching you for years. To be 💯 I respect you more now than ever. I don't even think you see how much you have grown and matured. It's refreshing to see you being honest and wanting everyone to know that life isn't perfect and it should not be. Your life experience though awful has made you into a wonderful mature woman and mother. You and Hamish have come so far. You should be so proud ❤
I really resonated with this video, my youngest missed out on meeting his great grandmother by two months, we only found out two weeks before she passed that she didn't have long, sending love
Awwww Shan. Hope you are ok. Love following you and your honesty ❤
Thank you for sharing all that's been going on for you. You are such a great role model and I also acknowledge that we only know what you tell us. This will be my 14th year watching you
Everything you said about your postpartum journey is the most relatable experience I've ever heard!
I bawled my eyes out because it felt like I was listening to myself 😢
Thank you for sharing ❤
Totally understand girl!!!😊.....Yesss now i really like to go outside.....Helps me so much to get some outside air....So yeah girl do what makes you happy and thanks for the talk you help us some times without knowning it...Hope you had a great vacation😊 ❤❤
This is the wholesome video I was needing. Thanks for keeping it real Shan 😭❤️ never change
Happy 2024 to you and your family!🎉 Thank you for sharing your story ❤ I rock with you girl!
