You’re easily the most respectable “influencer” (hate that word) & always have been. You never sell out, your level of privacy is spot on IMO & you’re clearly a brilliant Mum, an inspirational business woman & although I can’t relate to lots of aspects of your life (your house 😍 wow) I still find you relatable & will continue to watch you for as long as you produce content 👍🏻 x
This ^ 100%!
Yes! Unlike her ex friends...
AGREE AGREE AGREE!!! I have much respect for this person. ❤️
@@Piscoandmartinis , what do mean?
I agree 100%
It is SO refreshing to hear someone just lay out how shitty this year has been. I am so done with hearing people talk about how they’ve “discovered an inner resilience” or how many new things they’ve tried.
I really appreciate your openness about everything ❤️❤️
Although I don't think those people are just saying that for the sake of it. I don't mind this year infact I've liked it the same as many others
fkhunter hunter I don’t think people are lying, I just think it’s a bit tone deaf unfortunately...
@@fivebyfivewhat to other people's struggles? Maybe, although I also think it's important to show that you can be happy in unusual circumstances, it's all about attitude. (I say this having many difficulties too)
fivebyfivewhat same
I had the best year because I did not let politician lies and games get into my way! I worked on my body while locket for months. Started my fashion blog and started a lot of other projects! :) Just do whatever you want from what you have!
Such an honest and real Q and A. Sending you, Mike and River my love.
Fleur in regards to positive things about yourself - I was actually thinking about how much you seem to have grown as a person in the last year. To promoting BLM, a plant based diet and advocating for sustainability I feel you have been one of the few influencers really using your platform for good. Discussing your miscarriages online is courageous and you should be proud of yourself, I think you are incredibly strong to discuss such a difficult time in your life with such candour and honesty. I have watched you for years and have seen how much you have grown. You're a great mum, wife and boss business lady and I hope this year gets better for you, sending all the love ♥️ Thank you for this very open and honest video!
Well said... I totally agree!
Well said. Fleur is such a strong and wonderful person, I hope she knows it.
Having a dedicated sustainability playlist, genuinely looking inwards and reflecting on your behaviours, to attempt to strive for a better world, can't respect that enough!
This felt like the most “real” vlog I’ve ever seen from you. Always awesome but this felt like you were a friend chatting. Here’s to a better 2021!
Cheers to that! 🍷
I really admire how open you have been, I think it will make people struggling with fertility feel less alone. Informative as well. River is a little doll!
The guilt is sadly because society has been telling women for millennia that they should stay at home with their children, and when women first went to work they were shamed. Both stay at home and working mums are doing great!!
So sorry to hear everything that’s been going over the past year or so, don’t be hard on yourself for any of it. Health is number 1 priority xxx
I’m not sure if your gardener would be comfortable with it, but how cool would it be if you got him to film with you about the garden. Also, now that you aren’t vegan, I’m living to see your Christmas cheese board.
Omg same!!! I live for Fleur’s cheeseboards.
This is so honest and fresh, a lot of ‘Q&As’ are just basic easy answers. No influencer is obligated to share, but i appreciate that since you decided to you were real and honest with us.
Thank you for your honesty Fleur! I have to say I was a bit surprised when you said it hasn't been a great year for you mentally - that didn't really come through in the amazing contents you've been putting out. Personally I think that's your professional side shining, but nonetheless I'm sorry this year hasn;t been great for you ;_; Not sure if this opinion will count at all but hope you know I can tell how great you are as a person essentially just by knowing you through a screen. You're the most consistent person (both content & personality wise) I'm subscribed to in my 10 years of watching UA-cam :) Thank you for being you and know there's just a whole community out here supporting you okay
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Fleur DeForce hey
I love how open, candid and honest you were in this video! Would love to see more content like this from you! I hope everything works out on the baby front. I’m sure all will be well. I know it’s probably no consolation, but at least you’re still young. Imagine how anxious you would be if you were having these fertility issues at 40. Sending big hugs!
Fleur I’ve watched you for over 10 years and this was one of my favourite ever videos you’ve made. Thank you so much for sharing and for continuing to create such fantastic, honest content even when the world is upside down. Sending you, Mike and River all the strength and love xxx
Hi Fleur, we lost our second daughter in May at 20 weeks pregnancy. The whole experience has floored us and so much of what you have said about being back at square one and this year being terrible resonates with me. Thank you so much for sharing something so personal, whilst I wouldn’t wish baby loss on anyone it does help to know that I’m not going through this alone. I hope you get some good news soon, wishing you all the best ❤️
Fabulous Fleur, really enjoyed. So refreshing to hear questions answered honestly and not something you think people want to hear. Not everyone 'found themself', lost weight, had an epiphany etc during lockdown !! Sending very best wishes to you and your lovely family x
It feels like you're so open when talking at the moment. I love it, after following you for years, it's super interesting to see you under a new light
It’s kind of crazy to realize just how many women deal with thyroid problems. I am also in the meds process trying to get balanced. It’s such a weird thing because I feel like half the symptoms of thyroid are also things we are just told to expect as you age so I feel like so many people probably don’t even realize
How did you find out you actually had a thyroid problem in the end? I’ve been for that many tests and apparently I’m fine but I know I’m not haha 😕
@@katiesmith3242 Post your test results on the Thyroid UK forum and you will get help. Doctors only look at whether your results are in range and are only interestd in TSH which is wrong.
Laura Donovan like what
Yes! I went on thyroid meds last year after tracking my blood levels for about 10 years.
Katie Smith see if you can see an endocrinologist. My levels are borderline, “sub-clinical” but my symptoms are/were uncontrollable weight gain, brain fog, increasing anxiety. It runs in my family so my blood work has been closely monitored for about 10 years before I went on meds last year, which was done mainly because of my symptoms.
Hi Fleur, I’ve been watching you since I was a young teenager and wanted to say I appreciate your candidness and frankness with your audience. ❤️❤️
Thanks x
When i was watching Fleur's lockdown vlogs I used to think "wow, Fleur's life is so perfect". You really don't know the battles that someone is going through. Sending you so much love and positive energy. I hope all your baby dreams come true soon xx
Dear Fleur, I have watched you for ten years and really admire the woman you have become. So genuine, thoughtful, funny, strong person. We're the same age, from different countries and backgrounds but I feel we could've been friends 🙂 Last year I also experienced two following miscarriages, it turned my world upside-down, I remember the hard times well. Today my baby girl is 5 months old. Soon you will be hugging your precious baby too! You have this huge community behind you crossing their fingers for you ❤️ I wish you all the best, sending you a big hug!
Hi Fleur! Can I just say how refreshing it is that there was not a trace of toxic positivity in this video which we’ve all been seeing a lot online lately! It was so real and so honest! Just want to sympathise with your diagnosis and acknowledge how difficult it is to suffer with something invisible! Got diagnosed with vestibular migraines over lockdown and have to adjust my diet and lifestyle too! So hard and really felt fed up all summer cutting out my favourite foods! Here’s to a smashing 2021! 🥂
Such a great Q&A, really honest and lovely to hear your thoughts about some topics I wanted to know about and so important to share some of the tougher stuff you've been through as I don't feel it's discussed enough and so many share similar experiences. Really appreciate this!
I’m only about 8 minutes in but I had to comment that I can relate SO much to being tired of being back at square one. What a way to put it. Thank you for being open with what you’re going through - knowing that other women have similar experiences to mine make it just that much more bearable
Thank you for being so open and honest! This video was so raw and emotional, I actually got teary eyed when you said you were only wishing for a baby!
All the best for you, Mike and River and I am hoping your wishes come true very very soon! 💕
This is such a bloody good, honest q&a. So refreshing to see someone being measured and grown up and not putting a faux positive spin on stuff, or extrapolating lessons that you're not genuinely feeling. Xxx
I’ve followed you for years and years and this feels like by far your most open and real video. Thank you for speaking so honestly, it’s so refreshing. Sending you lots of positive vibes ❤️
You being so open and honest allows others who are experiencing the same things to feel like they are not alone. I appreciate you sharing your feelings and I wish for better days for your health and for a new baby.
Ive been following you for years and I know you're private when it comes to certain things but its so wonderful that you've decided to open up.
It will help so many people feel less alone xxxx
Fleur I’m so grateful for you -
You’re refreshing, kind, honest, open, warm, genuine and a good person. I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s so hard. You really are a different class on you tube, take care xx
Sending you so much love and strength, Fleur. Losing a baby is heartbreaking and to some point incomprehensible. Keep strong ❤️
I love seeing your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing hard things with us. I hope your health continues to improve and that your dream of more kids can come true for you! ❤
Fleur, what I have discovered is your resilience! You are so strong even when life has been terrible to you this year, lots of love xo
This is actually a really good warning that your diet should reflect what your body requires, rather than following things forcefully and expecting your body to work perfectly fine. Hope you’re all well!
Your honesty makes my heart hurt for your struggles this year. But also it's very refreshing to hear and I think if I were struggling with infertility or a health issue, I'd like hearing your honesty. I'm sorry you've been struggling and I hope good news is just around the corner for you. Thanks for the lovely content!!
I really liked this Q&A, not that i didn't previous ones but you sounded very open and down to earth, like talking to some friends about really important issues mixed in with light hearted ones in a really genuine setting. Totally enjoyed it, could have gone on for another half and hour and i wouldn't have noticed! Also the talk about vlogmas got me so excited for the season to roll in and for your gift ideas series
From watching this it sounds like 2020 has taught you resilience, wishing all the health and happiness there is in the world. 💛
Was really refreshing to hear you speak so candidly fleur! Thanks for being so open with us when you don’t have to be, sending you lots of love xxxx
Fleur I had the exact same problem. I had an under active thyroid and i couldn't get pregnant for three years. As I never knew. I demanded a blood test which showed I was underactive. Within four months of getting the meds right I was pregnant. I am now mum to a three year and one year old twins! Don't lose hope, your time is coming xx
Sending so much love and positivity to your family, Fleur ❤️ I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to so many people. You are a wonderful human being xxx
You’ve been so brave through such a tough year, sending you, Mike, and River all the love and blessings 💛
I’ve had 6 miscarriages and two babies. Both my successful pregnancies I took thyroxine, low dose aspirin and high dose folic acid. Good luck with your next pregnancy x
This information is so valuable-thank you for sharing!
I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid at 11. Once you get your dosage right it gets a lot easier. If you haven't already, you might ask your doctor about Hashimoto's disease. It is an auto immune disorder that can cause hypothyroidism. The treatment is the same. I'd also recommend seeing an endocrinologist if you can because there are things that a specialist knows to look for with this stuff that a GP doesn't.
It is worth also checking if your are converting T4 (levo) to T3 (liothyronine). I have to take T3/T4 combo due to genetic mutation DIO2 (found out via 23andme) 👍🏽
Thank you for the raw Q&A, it’s been a shit year and it brings me some comfort to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. Sending you positive vibes and best wishes ❤️
Oh Fleur I’m so sorry to hear this year has been tough, this was such a raw and honest video and I really appreciate it, I’m sure it’ll really help people, thank you for being honest. I really hope that things get better, next year will be a happy one for sure, sending so much love ❤️
I have been watching you for many many many years and hands down have always been my favourite - this has been the most refreshing video to watch of all year. 100% feel more let into your life and it's wonderful! Thank you for your humour and cool nature, watching (and hearing) how you have handled quite difficult situations this year has shown such strength and a positive way to deal. I would love to have just a portion of that composure. Wishing the best of luck in health & happiness!
Such a great and honest Q&A, so nice to see someone choose questions that aren't necessarily safe and easy. Enjoyed this. xx
Love how you handle growing on line, you look so authentic and real and stay private! Good job!
I'm so sorry for your losses this year. I admire that you can be honest and not just do the same old cutesy Q&As, with the same old questions and all. This was really personal and well-explained. I admire too that you're careful about what you show, I can't imagine how hard it has been to put any kind of content on the internet this year when you've gone through so much. You continue to be such a great role model and one of the most relatable youtubers! Watching your videos from 6 years ago is so similar to watching you now, just a grown up version and a mother. Not a version of you that has "sold out". I'm hoping the best for you guys, hopefully 2021 will be a brighter year.
I thought it was impossible to like you anymore than I already do Fleur, but you are just so straightforward, sensible & caring whilst at the same time having a wicked sense of humour - I just think you are an amazing person, I can sympathise with the under-active thyroid as I also have this & it's a real pain in so many ways, hope you get the meds sorted soon. I adore the black dress you look truly stunning in it, good luck in all your endeavours & I cannot wait for your vlogmas series, thanks so much for sharing all of this with us ❤️🥰💛😍
Fleur I've been watching you for about 10 years now and you're the most genuine person on here. Love to you and your family x
A 30 minute Q&A! Loved this, sending you and your family all of the love ❤️✨
Absolutely loved how refreshing this video was to watch. Just so honest, down to earth and real. Stay strong. Lots of love xxx
I loved this Q&A, it felt so real and honest. I've been watching your channel for almost 10 years and I´ve grown up looking up to you. Thank you for your content and for being real. I wish you and your family the best ❤
I love all your videos and have been following you for a long time but I think this has to be one of my favourites ever! So honest and although so many people are having a terrible time at the moment, and no one wants to hear you have been going through a tough time, it’s so nice to come here and not feel alone. I hope 2021 is a better year for us all 🤞🏻❤️
This was such a honest and really inspiring q&a. I love and appreciate that your are a really private person but also that you could let us know how you are feeling during this whole year. This may help so many other people who are struggling, to just go and talk to someone. I really hope that all your tests start to improve and that some good can come out of this year for you. I really wanted to come and give you a massive hug watching this! X
LOVED this Q&A, and your honesty regarding everything, so relatable. Thank you. Hope things start to look up for you all. 💜
I really enjoyed how honest this was. I felt like there were so many relatable moments and feelings here. Thank you for sharing some really sensitive and painful issues Fleur, I'm sorry 2020 has been so rubbish. I'm thinking of you and hoping for positive and happy changes ❤
Thank you for your openness and honesty in this video. It must not be easy to share such intimate events with the internet, but your genuineness is why I continue to watch your videos through the years! Wishing your beautiful family well and hope that this year can turn around for the better!
I’ve been watching your videos since I was in High school and now I’m almost 25 and COVID has been some of the hardest time in my life and you continue to be such a inspiration! I wish you nothing but the best for you and your family💛
Thanks for being so open with us! Sending well wishes to your family x
It's so nice to see that the vast majority of comments on your channel are quite positive. I think its a reflection of your content being positive but honest and open.
I have watched you for years and this was the most honest and open video I've seen, and I loved it. I hope you get some well deserved happiness soon 🖤
Such an honest video! Love you Fleur. Sending you all the love towards your getting pregnant journey ♥️
Sending massive hugs to you, River, and Mike! I will cross my fingers and pray for your growing family xx
You are so strong for doing this Fleur, talking about how hard it is to conceive. ultimate respect for you. fingers crossed for you xx
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling this year. I always try to keep in mind (especially this year) that everything is temporary, no situation is permanent. You’ll get to a good place eventually, these obstacles are just what you need to do to get there 💗💗
This was such an amazingly honest q&a. Sending much love. X
Thank you for always being so honest and true to yourself, Fleur. I have watched you since 2009 and you feel like a friend. I admire your grace and elegance in this crazy social media obsessed world. Prayers, Blessings and all the good vibes for you and your family coming into the next year.
I cant believe people actually care so much if you are a vegan or not! Like seriously who cares its your life. Best of luck with a new pregnancy.
Literally it involves OTHER lives?? The animals' lives
When are people gonna understand that animal exploitation is NOT a personal choice???
Reka Panczi yup
empatía antiopresiones no
@@MilaBelen Many and I mean *many* animals are trapped, poisoned and shot in order to protect your plant based food sources, many of which die a slow painful death, whilst their babies starve. Thousands of animals/creatures are also chopped up in combine harvesters etc. when preparing to grow your food. One grass fed cow is killed humanely in seconds (and yes I’m aware of malpractice within the meat industry, but cruelty is not actually standard despite what the few documentaries with an agenda say) and will feed a human for probably 6 months. 1 cow vs. thousands of animals. No diet is perfect or free of killing and that’s a fact. Oh and a lot of humans are getting incredibly sick eating plant based diets and shipping exotic vegan staples such as quinoa etc. around the world, instead of eating food from local farms, is horrible for the environment.
@@ASMRMagic I just want to give a few points here. I think the idea that there is a "humane" way to kill is one of the problems that veganism tries to challenge. Veganism exists with the ethical stance that no killing is ethical and there is a lot of discussion within the vegan community about ethics also extending to the people (predominantly POC) who are exploited in the farming industry. I come from a farming background and I can say that these animals sense way more than the meat industry wants us to believe. They know they are being put to slaughter, whether it be a quick death or not. Also you point out that "a lot of humans are getting incredibly sick eating plant based diets," and a really prescient example of a lot of humans getting incredibly sick (and dying) eating meat-based diets is our current global pandemic -- the Coronavirus.
This felt so genuine and warm, I usually put on vlogs in the background while doing other stuff but I actually went and sat down at the beginning of this video because I wanted to really watch this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your next blood tests and for the next trying again. Thank you for being so honest, not only about this but also about the whole finding positive things in Corona. I know that people who post about how they have found their perfect new hobby, such a new way of looking at life and mental health etc. do this with good intentions, but sometimes it's just a bit much and it's so nice to see someone with an audience like yours just say that their year has been shit and they haven't found anything really positive about it. Sending lots of love to you and your family!
Thank you for this video, I’ve been having a shit time recently with regards to having another baby and my health. I have so many days where the darkness comes over me but my 3 year old keeps me going. But listening to someone else talk about it helps so much to know that I’m not alone in feeling that way. It can be so frustrating and upsetting, but we have to be so thankful that we have the little ones we do already have 💖
Today has been a particularly hard day and just taking 30 minutes out to sit and listen to you talk has been a bit of a god-send so thank you! Xxx
Your honesty is so appreciated! It was a shitty year, and that is it. I hope you will have a much better next year with another baby and much more happiness! ✨
I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism last summer after trying to conceive for over five years with no results. I finally in May of this year have reached the place where everything is balanced for me. Still waiting for a positive but I feel like it can actually happen now. Best of luck in your journey Fleur, you're not alone! xx
Joan M really hope you get your positive soon xx
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you ❤️
Sending you all the best baby vibes!! I was balanced for almost 2 years when I was finally got a positive pregnancy test, don’t give up!
Joan M good luck 👍🍀
Thank you ladies! x
Sending lots of love to you and the family ❤️
I really respect how relatable and honest you have stayed over the years I have been a viewer.
Keep doing you❤️
So glad you are doing weekly vlogmas, ive been binge watching your previous vlogmasses this weekend, feeling very festive
Thank you for doing this q&a and being so honest about everything. Really enjoyed watching it. I hope you get your health back soon and feel more yourself xx
Fleur, thanks for sharing. It's so nice to have someone be so open and candid about their experiences, even though you can tell it's a difficult time for you. Best wishes to you, Mike & River. Hope the non-vegan diet works for you. x
Followed you for so many years, since the days you had Woof! It has been amazing to see you grow and wish you so much luck in your next pregnancy journey
Thank you for an honest video fleur, I loved it and it was refreshing to watch someone be open and honest than just flaunt around the answers pretending everything is unicorns and rainbows which is what a lot of people seem to be doing lately. Sending lots of love to you, Mike and River xx
I am already so excited for weekly vlogs in December ❤️🎄😍
Ugh I think I tiered up 3 times watching this. It was so real and honest and felt like catching up with a friend. This was just what I needed to hear and listen to today, 2020 has been rough and lately I felt like more bad then good days. Thank you and sending all the love ❤️ xx
Love you fleur! Been watching for over 10 years and the only one I respect x
Love how open and honest you have been and not sugar coating how shit this year has been🙌🏻 I hope the year ends with something positive for you and your family 💕
Thank you for being so open and honest in this video instead of trying to paint a picture of optimism and perfection. It's incredibly refreshing to hear raw and truthful thoughts and answers.
Wishing you, Mike and River all the VERY BEST life has to offer. Sending love and prayers. 💕
Thank you for being so genuine as always, much love to you and all your family, and there are better times ahead for all of us 😍😍
Fleur, I've essentially grown up watching you as I started watching you in 2010 and we're the exact same age (born May 2nd 1988 😊) and I still love your content as much as I did back then. You are so honest and down to earth 💛 I'm so sorry this year has been shit for you and really for everyone. I have higher hopes for 2021 but just know that I'm absolutely wishing you the best and hoping for a lot of healing for you and Mike this coming year ♥️ sending you some love ✌️
Thank you for always keeping it real, Fleur. We love you
This is so honest Fleur. I’m sorry for what you have been through. I can relate in terms of health and I wish you all luck xx
So much love for you Fleur. You are so brave and stay so smiley regardless to all the things that happened in your life lately. A real example to follow. Take care and 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for the baby plan. Xoxo
Thank you so much for your candidness. It can't be easy to share these experiences with the internet world but please know so many people are keeping you in their thoughts. My husband and I are TTC and not finding it easy but the more people talk about it publicly the less alone we feel.
Thank you for being so honest. I think many of us found ourselves in your words/opinions/moods/thoughts about life and this year in particular. I keep rewatching your older videos and vlogs whenever I am down cause they always cheer me up (especially Vlogmas-es), so thank you for keeping it up and for everything you are doing. Hopefully the rest of the year will be a bit better for you and your family. Looking forward to your Vlogmas videos already.
Thank you for being so open and honest with your answers, its so refreshing to hear you speak openly about how crap the past year has been. I'm so sorry for the struggles you've faced, and I'm sending you lots of love xx
I don’t usually comment but just wanted to say that I loved this. As someone who is also private I know this must have been hard to post. But it was such a good reality check for me. I know that nobody’s life is perfect but it’s so easy to forget that on social media. Sending good thoughts. 💗
Loved this video, especially your honesty about no longer being vegan. I feel like so much of the conversation about going vegan is how "easy" it is, when it really is a big decision to make, and a vegan diet, as you talked about, isn't right for everybody! But that's okay! I really respect your choices, and I am grateful for how you speak so honestly and genuinely, even despite the hella tough year you've had. You're doing a good job, Fleur, and to anyone else who reads this
It has been a long time since I come across your videos!!! And It’s so nice to see such an open and sincere response. Wishing you all the best in every aspect of your life. Keep been strong 💪
Thank you for your honesty in this video, Fleur 🥰 you have a wonderful and beautiful family, sorry to hear your year has been hard xxx
Thank you for being so honest! ❤️
I loved this Q and A I feel like this is the most honest you have been in a sit down UA-cam video in years!! I loved it and sending all my love to you mike and river. I’m sure 2021 will have new ventures for you
I liked your honesty about this year! And I have to say that although my kids are 10 & 14, I am eaten up by guilt every single day! I always feel guilty! Towards them, towards my work, my friends but yeah mostly just towards my kids! I don’t know if some people are just more prone to that feeling. My husband has NO guilt and just does whatever he wants, and I never do because of the guilt!
