"Our purpose is what were presented each day" As someone who battles depression everyday, these are words that I needed to hear. Thank you so much Alisha, for putting this out there.
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” THATS MY SCRIPTURE 😭😭omg the way this pod today just was like a pep talk for stuff I didn’t even know I had omg wow 😭😭
as a 21 who ran away from christianity & returned 4 years ago, & someone that has watched you both for 7+ years, my heart is so full that you’ve discussed christianity. tears were brought to my eyes for the both of you. sincerely, thank you for opening up & sharing your thoughts on religion on this platform, in a positive way.
Not me crying on my own couch with Remi and Alisha. Thinking of you Remi. Sending all the positive love and vibes EVER. We're rooting for you (( and your baby bro))
Honestly, hearing that your friend has been praying for you, i am also sobbing. To have friends who pray for your well being and happiness is such a gift. I'm glad they have that in each other.
Dear Remi, Thank you so much for sharing with us what you are going through. My boyfriend had cancer in his spine and he did radiation at MD Anderson in Houston! He is in recovery now and doing good. I believe Shane will be okay too :) If you need anything let me know 💜
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew6:34 Every day’s a new day and God watches over us, and we can trust that. This was a really beautiful episode. Remi, you’re a strong woman, and I’m going to keep you in my prayers.♥️
Remi I’m so glad you were able to get the scan to find the cyst early. Hopefully it does not continue to grow or affect your health. My thoughts go out for Shane as well. Alisha is so cute. One amazing friendship 💗
Getting older is a privilege. In November last year, my childhood best friend suddenly passed away at the age of 26. That definitely shifted my perspective on life and getting older.
This was such a beautiful episode I cried. The love you two have for each other and ur friendship radiates thru the screen. It makes me think of me and my best friend and truly warms my heart❤ Remi I am sending all the love and support to u and ur family. I am wishing for Shane to have a smooth recovery and sending extra love to Lily and their baby
I’m glad Remi has a great support system. I’m the same where I try to not make bad situations as bad. I hope you’re healthy REMI and your family. It’s okay to be sad though.
Remi, I have a similar thing on my brain, a cyst on my pituitary gland, that was 6 mm big caused by hormonal imbalances. I have an endocrinologist, hormone doctor, who prescribed me a medication to get rid of it. I have to take it for a few years and the cyst should disappear completely. I have taken the medication for a year now with minimal side effects and it has already decreased a ton so it’s working. Hoping your situation is similar! Wishing you the best, you got this! ❤️
Omg crying 😢 This is so raw and real. Alisha giving Rem the space and time but being so real about what she feels as well is beautiful. Remi's thoughts and perspective is just a lovely reminder that hope can spring from bad things. ❤ The Christianity talk towards the end is so relatable and surely took guts to talk about.
this has to be one of if not the best podcast episode you guys have done, you guys exhibit so much optimism and vulnerability. i love this friendship and sending so much love you remi you are everything.
I was scared to listen to this podcast because I get very invested and was scared to spiral hearing about all these not so great things that I’m also afraid of, but I listened and loved it. & it’s truly helped me feel better about life and all it’s up and downs. & Alisha the way you spoke and what you said was very refreshing and enlightening. Loved this. 🫶🏼
I’m actually so glad to hear that EVERYBODY stops when you are in pain Remi, especially because you are always the strong friend. Poor Oli baby not wanting to leave Alisha basically having a panic attack after she realized how serious it was. But all of your friends are so worried about your mental state because it is too much for ANYBODY to handle is something so priceless. We love you Rem and thank you for telling us. 🤍
I’ve grown up in the church and knowing the Lord is the greatest thing to happen to me. He is so comforting and changes your whole view on life! Remi the Lord LOVES you and created you with a purpose and for a purpose!! Praying for you and for this hard season🤍
Honestly, I'm praying for you, Remi. Life is so unfair, especially when it's recurring on a daily. I'm so glad you're being strong, but allowing yourself to feel and talk about it. Stuff like this can truly be hard. You are always in my thoughts. Glad you seemed a little happier in the video, despite everything. 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 (Loving these episodes of Pretty Basic, Alisha and Remi ❤)
Remi I have a pituitary tumor which causes hormonal imbalances, and it’s really uncommon in my experience to find anyone online that talks about these types of conditions. You are not alone, and you are in my prayers. ❤
OMG SAME…only just now watching several months later lol! I recently found out about mine and hearing about other people who have the same thing or similar and talk about it is so comforting and helps me feel better! Hope you’re doing well❤️
Keeping positive thoughts for you, Remi. Alisha saying our purpose is what's presented to us each day really struck a chord with me. As someone going into their mid 30s still feeling a little lost and wondering what my purpose is, that really put me in a sense of calm. Thank you for this episode.
‘God doesn’t bear a soul with more than it can handle’ this quote just motivates me get through anything coz it’s basically saying if God has puts us in a situation we’re likely able to get through it even though it might be the most difficult thing we do ❤ hope it all works out tho remi!
REM, I said this on your blog but in case you missed it… I’m keeping you on my prayer list (yes a real actual list). But I hope I can encourage you to be kinder to yourself and give yourself permission to be emotional. Prayers to Shane as well! But what I didn’t say is… sometimes being vulnerable and in need allows our loved ones to kick in and show support and love. That can be a huge help to the loved one because for certain they’re going through something and need to feel needed. (Does that make sense?) basically allowing others to help you helps them. So much love to your family and you! I wish I could give you the biggest hug! 🫂 🤟🏽
Hi love, my brother had osteosarcoma in the leg at 17 and he has been cancer free for 7 years. He did not have to have his leg amputated thanks to amazing surgeons. You are the best it’s okay to cry. I cried everyday but he is good now. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Remi & Alisha, Thankyou all for being so vulnerable. Crying with you girls at 7 AM in the morning. Thankyou remi for sharing your vulnerability and we’ll be sending your family positive vibes & Alisha Thankyou for creating a safe space for remi & us listeners.. a lot of us needed to hear what you said today Alisha ❤️❤️❤️
I cried when you talked about feeling like someone is watching over you. I am a follower of Christ and Remi I agree, He is watching over you. I have watched y'all for years and years, every single video basically. I love and care about both of you, and pray for y'all too. Lean into Him. He loves you and is so worth it. I am often reminded when i look back, how all I have to do is just take one step, and He comes running. I love you guys. thank you for being vulnerable. it's so important in our world. 🤍
This episode has me so emotional! I hope you both are having beautiful days. God is good and I'll be praying for you both always. Love, -Arizona gal living in Italy
Sobbing because my 2023 has been like this… didn’t get the promotion I was hoping for, my father in law was in the hospital really ill, had to postpone a trip I was really looking forward and planning for a year, my mother in law broke an arm, my father in law seems to have early stage dementia… it all kept pilling up and I’m like Remi trying to fix everything and everyone and sometimes you can’t. I also found a new connection with God and religion. Listening to all this and how beautifully Alisha was able to explain your purpose in life was amazing. Sending good energy to you and your family Rem. Kisses from Argentina.
i really loved when they touched on christianity. i feel like when you’re grown up with christianity shoved down ur throat sometimes you may grow up to resent it and people have to find and *want to come back. the way alisha’s been praying for remi made me smile
I have been watching Alisha and Remi for years and to see how this friendship has evolved is absolutely beautiful! This episode put me to tears and showed me that it will be okay! Thank you for your optimism because it motivates me to keep going 🤍
My dad had a sarcoma in his leg in 2021 and went through treatment, radiation, then surgery, then chemo, most of 2022. He is now a year and a half with clear scans and did not have to get an amputation and is doing great! Stay strong Remi, I am praying for you brother and I know he can make a full recovery because I have watched my dad do the same thing🤍 stay strong
Remi, I’m in the same boat as you. I found out about my pineal cyst and aneurysm last year. It started with sadness, confusion, and feeling lost… but then I, like you, thought it could be worse. I had to find the positives, like you, and feel optimistic and hopeful. We understand you and are grateful for you sharing your story.
Aww Remi, Im so sorry. Even thought it’s trough a screen I hope you can tell all the support. You’re amazing and I hope you and your family are surrounded by love. Sending lots of prayer towards your brother.
Crying 😞😞 I hope everything works out good remi KEEP us updated please Alisha is the best 💖 I love you both so much. I cried cause this is worrying and I do want everyone to be good but also I’m a baby and when anyone cries, that’s it’s for me 🥺 You got this remi 💜
i loved alisha's talk about how you should live in the moment and not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself. i have been struggling a little because i start school tomorrow, as stupid as it seems, it's just weird being the new kid, even though i'm going into junior year. my new mindset is that i'm just grateful to be here and if something is supposed to happen, it will and you just have to deal with that. everything happens for a reason. keeping shane, shane's wife, and remi in my prayers 🩷🩷
So sorry for you Remi, listening to this episode takes me back to my grandmas cancer diagnosis back in August of last year, still battling but stronger than ever. I pray the best for you 🙏
Remi you are so strong! Pray has incredible power...those prayers that you receive from both your mother, your father, your friends and those who see you, is what makes you feel that peace that everything will be fine...Everything happens for a reason. Put everything in God's hands and you will see that everything will be fine❤🙏
I have been a listener since episode 1 and this has to be my favorite episode yet. I started crying when Alisha said she’s been praying for Remi. 🥺 He has clearly heard her prayers & is protecting Remi and her family. He planted a seed in her heart & it truly is mind blowing to me how He works in such mysterious ways!! I got chills. I love you girls and thank you for being so real and having this open and honest discussion. I think a lot of people will be impacted. 🥲🩵
You guys make me happy cry more than anything else. So thankful to be able to watch you two have these discussions 🫶🏼 Remi you truly are an inspiration.
Absolutely loved this episode!!! Remi and I are like the same person! I don’t ask for help ever and this episode showed me I’m not alone! I always tell myself “ if I can’t control it then it can control me” and it’s really hard to just sit and feel all the emotions!! Thank you Remi for being you!!
Remi is so me with trying to cope w her emotions by suppressing her feelings to cope. Also I like how Alisha pointed out ur purpose sometimes isn’t (over all) it can be day-to-day and I’ll tell u when I switched my mindset to that it makes a world of a difference when going through a hard time.
Love that you’re sharing this with us, life is SO rough sometimes especially when it happens all at once. This is exactly how I handle bad things going on in my life. Just laugh at it until it get to be too much and then break. It’s impossible to stay positive all the time, but I love that you try to look at the upside in situations. I hope all of these crazy life events work out and that August is AMAZING for you Remi 💗
ugh remi I am SO SORRY. 2022 was like this for me and it was truly crushing but i literally would tell all the terrible things to my friends like it was a big joke the world was playing on me and my family bc it was the only way i could get through it all. things will eventually get so much better and you will be an even more kind and empathetic person for it if thats even possible!!! love you guys xx
I usually listen to pb when I'm getting ready to go to work, i was not ready to bawl my eyes out at 6 in the morning. My heart goes out for you and your family, Remi. Sending positive thoughts and prayers 🥺❤️🩹❤️🩹
Thank you remi for showing us this huge positive way of seeing life. It really is teaching me a different perspective and i appreciate. I love you so much ❤
Your friendship is so beautiful, thank you for being so vulnerable Remi and sharing with us. You and your family will be in my prayers 💕this episode was amazing, I cried with you both 🥹
Aww Remi, you are the sweetest soul and I teared up when you said you feel someone is watching over you. Someone is. I truly believe our Heavenly Father is seeking you out even in the chaos. He is peace, he is grace, love, kindness, trust and it is so sweet seeing his hand upon your life! Praying for you, for healing, for strength!
I put this episode off for a bit because I didn’t want to cry but I am so thankful that I watched it today I needed it. Remi has such a beautiful perspective and it really has made me look at things so differently and I love y’all and am praying for y’all ❤️❤️❤️
I adore you both! As someone who has been praying for her best friend for years and now she’s starting to see how much Jesus loves her, this is so amazing to see 🩵🫶🏻🩷🥲
I love y’all’s friendship it’s so beautiful and remi it’s okay to feel your emotions and cry it out we love you you got this keep your head up girl! ❤️ this is true friendship!
Remi your feelings about Christianity is so valid. Someone is watching over you! God knows what you can and cannot handle and whatever he puts on your plate he knows you can handle. I felt the exact same way I feel the exact same way Remi! I see you. I’m praying for you! Love you! ❤
Thank you to both of you for talking about this, because I've been dealing with a lot lately and you helped me put things into perspective. Love that you've created this corner of the internet for people like this.
I am so grateful for this episode. I have been having major life/heath problems one after the other. Things that I thought "oh that will never happen to me" and I have been miserable but this has helped me get an outside perspective. I am going to work harder to be appreciative. ❤ you girls
we love you Remi 🥹❤️❤️❤️ what you said from like 44:00 is so wholesome you’re going through so much and being so grateful at the and time wow Remi ❤ praying for you and your family
I wish I could give you girls a hug!! This podcast is such a joy to have every week. Remi, sending all the love and prayers your way!! You can get through this girl!!! Also you girls' friendship really warmed my heart
I think we’re all crying only because of you can feel the love Remi you’re going to be okay and so is your brother. It’s also okay to cry and say you’re not okay
Yes praying for someone and asking god to give someone wisdom !! Alisha talking to god is definitely working! When someone is heavy and on your heart it’s god asking you to pray for them ❤
I pray my rosary every morning and when I pray “give us this day our daily bread” I am reminded that God wants us to focus on today! He will provide our daily bread. 🙏🏽❤️ - “Our purpose is what we are presented today” .. I really liked this and I always ask God to tell me what he needs me to do now. God doesn’t reveal our entire purpose but I think that he tells us what we need to do now to get to our purpose. If we had the answer to everything we would never seek HIM 🫶🏼❤️ Love you Remi and grateful this is bringing you closer to God.
Aww this episode made me tear up a little, thank you for being so open with us Rem! Of course we care about what’s going on with you and your fam!! Sending you and your family love 🩷
My dad was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in 2021, and my life has completely changed. We lived a comfortable life but with all the hospital bills, im struggling to pay my college fees, but at the same time the bright side is that he is so much better now and i hope to God life goes back to normal. We’re here for you always Remi ❤
Rem, I saw this quote that reminds me of you, “if you can change it, why be unhappy and if you can’t change it, why be unhappy.” I love that you choose to see the bright side in situations, but all these things that are happening in your life are no doubt overwhelming and it’s ok to have moments of sadness to process your feelings. Praying for you and your family!! 🤍🤍
thank you for sharing your story and making us feel less alone. I just had a cyst found on my cervix last week and I was s-ing my pants.. so I cant even forking imagine what youve been going through.
I want to appreciate how supportive Alisha is to Remi as her bff! And Remi putting her personal life out. It's ok to not be ok especially when everything is just hitting you all at once. I wanted to cry when Remi said I don't want to cry. I'm sitting here yelling girl cry let it out!
Remi, I am so proud of you and your mentality while dealing with everything that has happened to you lately. It all sucks but you're right - everything happens for a reason and you can get through it all! I am praying for you and your brother. As a Muslim, what you both said about finding religion/meaning on your own in your own time is so true, and I wish you the best with your journey. I hope you find peace. God bless you, stay strong, you're amazing and you can get through this!
Wow…this was such a profound episode. I’ve been subscribed to both of you since 2017 & this really felt like such a vulnerable and humanizing episode. Alisha, I was especially moved by how wise you spoke about being in the moment, how depression is about the past, and how anxiety is about the future. And as we’re getting older, we just need to be present, which is SO hard! But it felt easier knowing that y’all go through similar life things. Remi, thanks again so much for sharing. I will share the same sentiments that have been poured to you in your most recent vlog: you are under no obligation to share any private details of your life with us, but I thank you for being so real, especially as an influencer. Pretty Basic, thanks for being alongside us as we’re also navigating our late 20s & early 30s ❤️
Remi - When I turned 20 my mom got diagnosed with cancer as she was going through chemo my grandfather passed away & my aunt. I felt similar to you you like holy shit I wake up everyday and my world is falling apart. It felt like I could get no breaks. And I would mask it with laughter or being with friends, etc. I fully get the roller coaster and being on that high right now. But I highly suggest seeing a therapist.. that’s one thing I wish I had done at the time. Honestly it’s a hard process to see someone you love struggle like that. It’s great you have a support system and you’ll need them more than you even think. Lean in on them but also talking to someone professionally as being someone that wants to care for everyone.. I can only find it being beneficial at this time! I hope I am not over stepping by sharing that. But through those life changing moments, I wish I had therapy to help me to cope and process it all. My mother did make a full recovery and as you know your brother will be okay in the end. But it’s a lot to process, I think allowing yourself to do that and feel that is major! Anyway - love you girls 💖 sending light to you rem.
Thinking of you Remi! I had major health scares this year too at 28 years old and am awaiting more tests. Both of my carotid arteries dissected randomly and blocked blood flow to my brain. I was terrified of a stroke. Then they also found an aneurysm on my brain (same spot my gma had one that killed her) and a cavernova (a spot that can bleed in the brain as well). It’s scary stuff when it’s your brain!! Like you said, I like to look at things like maybe the paint can incident was to find this cyst and get it treated before it can cause damage. Maybe my carotid arteries dissected to find the aneurysm before it ruptured. Everything happens for a reason. Sending prayers and good vibes your way as you work with your doctors!! ❤
Alisha it’s Matthew 6:34 “So never be anxious about the next day ,for the next day will have it’s own anxieties. each day has enough of its own troubles .“
When I tell you I gasped about the information about Remis brother. God I hope everything gets better. My bestfriend passed away from metastatic melanoma so everytime I hear someone has cancer it brings me back those hard days. Such a hard thing to go through for the person and everyone around. I pray for your brother remi
First I want to say that I've never commented on a video like ever, I never liked a video I'm just always a silent fan. I want to say that this is my first time commenting and this episode hit me so hard. When Alisha said our purpose is what we are presented with each day is totally true. I think I've never ever in my life related more to a content creator as much as Remi. Lowkey think we are the same person LOL. July was a very bad month for me too but I was also very optimistic and grateful, just like Remi was..there is this quote in spanish that i love it is "Mañana Sera Mas bonito" that even though today is crap you can always count on tomorrow being just prettier. Its crazy how much we have in common and i want to thank both of yall for being just so transparent and raw and real. Because unfortunately in this world in which we livein we dont get to see that much. So did i cry at work writing this yes. So thank you for the bottom of my heart ❤💜
I cried so much throughout this video and I'm glad you guys are okay. And Remi's positive mindset is truly inspiring, but as Alisha said it's okay to ask others for help. People love you and we are rooting for you!
seems like yesterday when we were all watching Shane and his wife's baby shower. Hope them the best and their baby the best and that they're able to get over this obstacle healthy and happy.
Remi I just wanted to say that I feel for you and am praying for your brother! My older sister was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in 2017, so I completely understand your feelings! If you ever want to talk about anything or hear someone else's experience, I am completely here for you! Keep praying girl, it will be okay!
Hey rem-ster, I too, am a girly with bad luck. In the span of a month: 1. My work relocated me with 2 weeks notice 2 hours away from my home, so I lose my job or move. 2. My neighbor hit me with his car as I was sitting in my parked car, which resulted in my sustaining a concussion. 3. Someone set a camper propane tank on fire and it exploded outside my apartment and it caught my deck on fire at 3am. I FEEL YOU GIRL.
"Our purpose is what were presented each day" As someone who battles depression everyday, these are words that I needed to hear. Thank you so much Alisha, for putting this out there.
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” THATS MY SCRIPTURE 😭😭omg the way this pod today just was like a pep talk for stuff I didn’t even know I had omg wow 😭😭
We appreciate remi being so vulnerable with us and Alisha giving her the safe space to speak her mind 🫶🏼
as a 21 who ran away from christianity & returned 4 years ago, & someone that has watched you both for 7+ years, my heart is so full that you’ve discussed christianity. tears were brought to my eyes for the both of you. sincerely, thank you for opening up & sharing your thoughts on religion on this platform, in a positive way.
Not me crying on my own couch with Remi and Alisha. Thinking of you Remi. Sending all the positive love and vibes EVER. We're rooting for you (( and your baby bro))
Honestly, hearing that your friend has been praying for you, i am also sobbing. To have friends who pray for your well being and happiness is such a gift. I'm glad they have that in each other.
Dear Remi,
Thank you so much for sharing with us what you are going through. My boyfriend had cancer in his spine and he did radiation at MD Anderson in Houston! He is in recovery now and doing good. I believe Shane will be okay too :) If you need anything let me know 💜
Sending so much love to your boyfriend and all his loved ones 🩷 happy to hear he’s in recovery
Remi, crying is such a therapeutic way to process and grieve either good or bad. Thank you for being vulnerable.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew6:34
Every day’s a new day and God watches over us, and we can trust that.
This was a really beautiful episode. Remi, you’re a strong woman, and I’m going to keep you in my prayers.♥️
Remi I’m so glad you were able to get the scan to find the cyst early. Hopefully it does not continue to grow or affect your health. My thoughts go out for Shane as well. Alisha is so cute. One amazing friendship 💗
Thank you we love you!!!
Alisha getting mad and still singing the wrong lyrics got me 😭
LMAOOO
Same lmao I was thinking to myself “canceled my plans just in case you'd call, not he’d call!” 😂
Alisha praying for Remi is what friendship is 😭
When it rains, it pours!! But after the storm there will be a rainbow. You got this Remi, we're all here for you & wishing you nothing but the best
Getting older is a privilege. In November last year, my childhood best friend suddenly passed away at the age of 26. That definitely shifted my perspective on life and getting older.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT REMI’S HEALTH 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻
This was such a beautiful episode I cried. The love you two have for each other and ur friendship radiates thru the screen. It makes me think of me and my best friend and truly warms my heart❤ Remi I am sending all the love and support to u and ur family. I am wishing for Shane to have a smooth recovery and sending extra love to Lily and their baby
THIS IS MY FAVORITE EPISODE KNOWING GOD IS STILL HERE IN THIS FRIENDSHIP AND IN THIS GENERATION ❤😢
I’m glad Remi has a great support system. I’m the same where I try to not make bad situations as bad. I hope you’re healthy REMI and your family. It’s okay to be sad though.

I usually watch the pod when I'm getting ready and doing my makeup.... BUT NOT IT"S RUINED BECAUSE IM CRYING AT YALLS LOVE AND TEARS FOR EACH OTHER 😢
Not me SOBBING in the office listening to this. This is so beautiful. Sending you both so much love ❤ Rem, you are so strong!
Remi, your strength is so admirable and we’re sending you so so much love ❤️
God’s really starting to heal the world through their struggles, leaving only Him left to turn to. So beautiful i can relate immensely
This episode has me so emotional! I hope you both are having beautiful days. God is good and I'll be praying for you both always. Love, -Arizona gal living in Italy
Sobbing because my 2023 has been like this… didn’t get the promotion I was hoping for, my father in law was in the hospital really ill, had to postpone a trip I was really looking forward and planning for a year, my mother in law broke an arm, my father in law seems to have early stage dementia… it all kept pilling up and I’m like Remi trying to fix everything and everyone and sometimes you can’t. I also found a new connection with God and religion. Listening to all this and how beautifully Alisha was able to explain your purpose in life was amazing. Sending good energy to you and your family Rem. Kisses from Argentina.
i really loved when they touched on christianity. i feel like when you’re grown up with christianity shoved down ur throat sometimes you may grow up to resent it and people have to find and *want to come back. the way alisha’s been praying for remi made me smile
Love that Alisha is a supportive friend who has been praying for Remi! It’s so amazing to see the change in people for the better🤗❤️
Remi girl you are so strong. I’ve been crying with you this episode. We love you girl.
I have been watching Alisha and Remi for years and to see how this friendship has evolved is absolutely beautiful! This episode put me to tears and showed me that it will be okay! Thank you for your optimism because it motivates me to keep going 🤍
im crying with you guys😭 i feel the empathy and scariness youre going through, i love the positivity but alisha's right it's okay to feel it remi
My dad had a sarcoma in his leg in 2021 and went through treatment, radiation, then surgery, then chemo, most of 2022. He is now a year and a half with clear scans and did not have to get an amputation and is doing great! Stay strong Remi, I am praying for you brother and I know he can make a full recovery because I have watched my dad do the same thing🤍 stay strong
Remi, I’m in the same boat as you. I found out about my pineal cyst and aneurysm last year. It started with sadness, confusion, and feeling lost… but then I, like you, thought it could be worse. I had to find the positives, like you, and feel optimistic and hopeful. We understand you and are grateful for you sharing your story.
Aww Remi, Im so sorry. Even thought it’s trough a screen I hope you can tell all the support. You’re amazing and I hope you and your family are surrounded by love. Sending lots of prayer towards your brother.
Crying 😞😞 I hope everything works out good remi KEEP us updated please
Alisha is the best 💖 I love you both so much.
I cried cause this is worrying and I do want everyone to be good but also I’m a baby and when anyone cries, that’s it’s for me 🥺
You got this remi 💜
Alisha’s point on our purpose was what I needed to hear today. Thank you for being such a great friend to remi! ❤️
i loved alisha's talk about how you should live in the moment and not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself. i have been struggling a little because i start school tomorrow, as stupid as it seems, it's just weird being the new kid, even though i'm going into junior year. my new mindset is that i'm just grateful to be here and if something is supposed to happen, it will and you just have to deal with that. everything happens for a reason. keeping shane, shane's wife, and remi in my prayers 🩷🩷
Thank you Remi for being so open and vulnerable with us! You cannot imagine HOW MUCH we actually care! I wish you and your family all the best 🥰
Oh Remi... I've been going through it too. I want to give you a huge hug!!!!!!!! We'll both get through it, girl. Sending love!
@@ayushi_rathod_ I appreciate that!
Remi 💕 my heart goes out to you. Prayers for you, your brother, and your family. Good things only from here on out! 💕💕💕
So sorry for you Remi, listening to this episode takes me back to my grandmas cancer diagnosis back in August of last year, still battling but stronger than ever. I pray the best for you 🙏
Remi you are so strong! Pray has incredible power...those prayers that you receive from both your mother, your father, your friends and those who see you, is what makes you feel that peace that everything will be fine...Everything happens for a reason. Put everything in God's hands and you will see that everything will be fine❤🙏
I have been a listener since episode 1 and this has to be my favorite episode yet. I started crying when Alisha said she’s been praying for Remi. 🥺 He has clearly heard her prayers & is protecting Remi and her family. He planted a seed in her heart & it truly is mind blowing to me how He works in such mysterious ways!! I got chills. I love you girls and thank you for being so real and having this open and honest discussion. I think a lot of people will be impacted. 🥲🩵
aw we love you remi, thoughts & prayers for you and shane
You guys make me happy cry more than anything else. So thankful to be able to watch you two have these discussions 🫶🏼 Remi you truly are an inspiration.
Absolutely loved this episode!!! Remi and I are like the same person! I don’t ask for help ever and this episode showed me I’m not alone! I always tell myself “ if I can’t control it then it can control me” and it’s really hard to just sit and feel all the emotions!! Thank you Remi for being you!!
Remi is so me with trying to cope w her emotions by suppressing her feelings to cope. Also I like how Alisha pointed out ur purpose sometimes isn’t (over all) it can be day-to-day and I’ll tell u when I switched my mindset to that it makes a world of a difference when going through a hard time.
Love that you’re sharing this with us, life is SO rough sometimes especially when it happens all at once. This is exactly how I handle bad things going on in my life. Just laugh at it until it get to be too much and then break. It’s impossible to stay positive all the time, but I love that you try to look at the upside in situations. I hope all of these crazy life events work out and that August is AMAZING for you Remi 💗
ugh remi I am SO SORRY. 2022 was like this for me and it was truly crushing but i literally would tell all the terrible things to my friends like it was a big joke the world was playing on me and my family bc it was the only way i could get through it all. things will eventually get so much better and you will be an even more kind and empathetic person for it if thats even possible!!! love you guys xx
I love this ❤
Remi my prayers are with you, and you too Alisha. I love the balance you two have, we are rooting for you.
I usually listen to pb when I'm getting ready to go to work, i was not ready to bawl my eyes out at 6 in the morning. My heart goes out for you and your family, Remi. Sending positive thoughts and prayers 🥺❤️🩹❤️🩹
Love Alisha’s perspective on having a purpose for each day!
Thank you remi for showing us this huge positive way of seeing life. It really is teaching me a different perspective and i appreciate. I love you so much ❤
Your friendship is so beautiful, thank you for being so vulnerable Remi and sharing with us. You and your family will be in my prayers 💕this episode was amazing, I cried with you both 🥹
Aww Remi, you are the sweetest soul and I teared up when you said you feel someone is watching over you. Someone is. I truly believe our Heavenly Father is seeking you out even in the chaos. He is peace, he is grace, love, kindness, trust and it is so sweet seeing his hand upon your life! Praying for you, for healing, for strength!
I put this episode off for a bit because I didn’t want to cry but I am so thankful that I watched it today I needed it. Remi has such a beautiful perspective and it really has made me look at things so differently and I love y’all and am praying for y’all ❤️❤️❤️
I adore you both! As someone who has been praying for her best friend for years and now she’s starting to see how much Jesus loves her, this is so amazing to see 🩵🫶🏻🩷🥲
I love y’all’s friendship it’s so beautiful and remi it’s okay to feel your emotions and cry it out we love you you got this keep your head up girl! ❤️ this is true friendship!
Love you Remi ❤ Health is definitely the most important thing.
Remi your feelings about Christianity is so valid. Someone is watching over you! God knows what you can and cannot handle and whatever he puts on your plate he knows you can handle.
I felt the exact same way I feel the exact same way Remi! I see you. I’m praying for you! Love you! ❤
Thank you to both of you for talking about this, because I've been dealing with a lot lately and you helped me put things into perspective. Love that you've created this corner of the internet for people like this.
I am so grateful for this episode. I have been having major life/heath problems one after the other. Things that I thought "oh that will never happen to me" and I have been miserable but this has helped me get an outside perspective. I am going to work harder to be appreciative. ❤ you girls
we love you Remi 🥹❤️❤️❤️ what you said from like 44:00 is so wholesome
you’re going through so much and being so grateful at the and time
wow Remi ❤ praying for you and your family
I wish I could give you girls a hug!! This podcast is such a joy to have every week. Remi, sending all the love and prayers your way!! You can get through this girl!!! Also you girls' friendship really warmed my heart
I think we’re all crying only because of you can feel the love Remi you’re going to be okay and so is your brother. It’s also okay to cry and say you’re not okay
I can’t take my eyes off Remi’s dress it is so beautiful
Yes praying for someone and asking god to give someone wisdom !! Alisha talking to god is definitely working! When someone is heavy and on your heart it’s god asking you to pray for them ❤
I pray my rosary every morning and when I pray “give us this day our daily bread” I am reminded that God wants us to focus on today! He will provide our daily bread. 🙏🏽❤️ - “Our purpose is what we are presented today” .. I really liked this and I always ask God to tell me what he needs me to do now. God doesn’t reveal our entire purpose but I think that he tells us what we need to do now to get to our purpose. If we had the answer to everything we would never seek HIM 🫶🏼❤️ Love you Remi and grateful this is bringing you closer to God.
Aww this episode made me tear up a little, thank you for being so open with us Rem! Of course we care about what’s going on with you and your fam!! Sending you and your family love 🩷
My dad was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in 2021, and my life has completely changed. We lived a comfortable life but with all the hospital bills, im struggling to pay my college fees, but at the same time the bright side is that he is so much better now and i hope to God life goes back to normal. We’re here for you always Remi ❤
There absolutely is a purpose for you sharing this and opening up. Thank you 🥲
Sending so much love to you and your family Remi. 🫂
Rem, I saw this quote that reminds me of you, “if you can change it, why be unhappy and if you can’t change it, why be unhappy.” I love that you choose to see the bright side in situations, but all these things that are happening in your life are no doubt overwhelming and it’s ok to have moments of sadness to process your feelings. Praying for you and your family!! 🤍🤍
thank you for sharing your story and making us feel less alone. I just had a cyst found on my cervix last week and I was s-ing my pants.. so I cant even forking imagine what youve been going through.
Positive vibes to you too🩷
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I want to appreciate how supportive Alisha is to Remi as her bff! And Remi putting her personal life out.
It's ok to not be ok especially when everything is just hitting you all at once. I wanted to cry when Remi said I don't want to cry. I'm sitting here yelling girl cry let it out!
Remi, I am so proud of you and your mentality while dealing with everything that has happened to you lately. It all sucks but you're right - everything happens for a reason and you can get through it all! I am praying for you and your brother. As a Muslim, what you both said about finding religion/meaning on your own in your own time is so true, and I wish you the best with your journey. I hope you find peace. God bless you, stay strong, you're amazing and you can get through this!
Awww poor Rem 🥺 we love you so much and sending so much love and prayers 🤍
Wow…this was such a profound episode. I’ve been subscribed to both of you since 2017 & this really felt like such a vulnerable and humanizing episode.
Alisha, I was especially moved by how wise you spoke about being in the moment, how depression is about the past, and how anxiety is about the future. And as we’re getting older, we just need to be present, which is SO hard! But it felt easier knowing that y’all go through similar life things.
Remi, thanks again so much for sharing. I will share the same sentiments that have been poured to you in your most recent vlog: you are under no obligation to share any private details of your life with us, but I thank you for being so real, especially as an influencer.
Pretty Basic, thanks for being alongside us as we’re also navigating our late 20s & early 30s ❤️
Remi - When I turned 20 my mom got diagnosed with cancer as she was going through chemo my grandfather passed away & my aunt. I felt similar to you you like holy shit I wake up everyday and my world is falling apart. It felt like I could get no breaks. And I would mask it with laughter or being with friends, etc. I fully get the roller coaster and being on that high right now. But I highly suggest seeing a therapist.. that’s one thing I wish I had done at the time. Honestly it’s a hard process to see someone you love struggle like that. It’s great you have a support system and you’ll need them more than you even think. Lean in on them but also talking to someone professionally as being someone that wants to care for everyone.. I can only find it being beneficial at this time! I hope I am not over stepping by sharing that. But through those life changing moments, I wish I had therapy to help me to cope and process it all. My mother did make a full recovery and as you know your brother will be okay in the end. But it’s a lot to process, I think allowing yourself to do that and feel that is major! Anyway - love you girls 💖 sending light to you rem.
Thinking of you Remi! I had major health scares this year too at 28 years old and am awaiting more tests. Both of my carotid arteries dissected randomly and blocked blood flow to my brain. I was terrified of a stroke. Then they also found an aneurysm on my brain (same spot my gma had one that killed her) and a cavernova (a spot that can bleed in the brain as well). It’s scary stuff when it’s your brain!! Like you said, I like to look at things like maybe the paint can incident was to find this cyst and get it treated before it can cause damage. Maybe my carotid arteries dissected to find the aneurysm before it ruptured. Everything happens for a reason. Sending prayers and good vibes your way as you work with your doctors!! ❤
Alisha it’s Matthew 6:34 “So never be anxious about the next day ,for the next day will have it’s own anxieties. each day has enough of its own troubles .“
When I tell you I gasped about the information about Remis brother. God I hope everything gets better.
My bestfriend passed away from metastatic melanoma so everytime I hear someone has cancer it brings me back those hard days. Such a hard thing to go through for the person and everyone around. I pray for your brother remi
thank you so much we love you
First I want to say that I've never commented on a video like ever, I never liked a video I'm just always a silent fan. I want to say that this is my first time commenting and this episode hit me so hard. When Alisha said our purpose is what we are presented with each day is totally true. I think I've never ever in my life related more to a content creator as much as Remi. Lowkey think we are the same person LOL. July was a very bad month for me too but I was also very optimistic and grateful, just like Remi was..there is this quote in spanish that i love it is "Mañana Sera Mas bonito" that even though today is crap you can always count on tomorrow being just prettier. Its crazy how much we have in common and i want to thank both of yall for being just so transparent and raw and real. Because unfortunately in this world in which we livein we dont get to see that much. So did i cry at work writing this yes. So thank you for the bottom of my heart ❤💜
I cried so much throughout this video and I'm glad you guys are okay. And Remi's positive mindset is truly inspiring, but as Alisha said it's okay to ask others for help. People love you and we are rooting for you!
seems like yesterday when we were all watching Shane and his wife's baby shower. Hope them the best and their baby the best and that they're able to get over this obstacle healthy and happy.
Remi I just wanted to say that I feel for you and am praying for your brother! My older sister was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in 2017, so I completely understand your feelings! If you ever want to talk about anything or hear someone else's experience, I am completely here for you! Keep praying girl, it will be okay!
Hey rem-ster, I too, am a girly with bad luck. In the span of a month: 1. My work relocated me with 2 weeks notice 2 hours away from my home, so I lose my job or move. 2. My neighbor hit me with his car as I was sitting in my parked car, which resulted in my sustaining a concussion. 3. Someone set a camper propane tank on fire and it exploded outside my apartment and it caught my deck on fire at 3am. I FEEL YOU GIRL.
Better days ahead ❤️🙏🏽
