she's a youtube girly now!! + the people/ channels/ pods I think you should follow
^ a random voice note I had to make given the chaotic context of this weekend
First things first… my first ever youtube vlog is live (!!!!) ✨ ☺️ 🎥 🤸🏼♀️
I am so, so excited about this. I can’t even start talking about my plans for youtube without screaming a THANK YOU to you all, because my subscriber count and reception of my first video was beyond what I could have anticipated and hoped for. The emotional whiplash of this social media stuff led a lot of you to send me really heartfelt messages and leave extremely kind comments on my youtube video as well. I know at the end of the day, it’s just the internet, but what my online community means to me (emotionally, mentally, financially, socially) is NOT a casual thing and I’m so grateful for you gals. Anywayyyyyy, here it is.
I’ve been around the social media game long enough to know that adjusting to any new platform definitely is a learning curve, but I’m pretty happy with how my first vlog turned out! My plan is to post at least 3 long form vlogs monthly. I’d say weekly, but I cannot make a concrete promise, lol. They will be chatty and cozy and long form, something you can have on while you’re going about your normal day, just like I am. I’m excited to share more about hobby stuff there, chat books, meals, homeschool updates, and just girly & motherhood chats as well. I love consuming YT content in the background and find it’s much more slow paced and chill for my brain that doom scrolling short form content. If you love substack, you probably love youtube too.
Would love love love to have you subscribe 😌
My social media game plan goes as follows:
Most days: short form video on tiktok, reels, and youtube shorts + Instagam stories
Mondays: free substack post for everyone. It’ll be a mix of written content, the occasional free podcast, roundups of recent content and things i’m loving, etc
Thursdays: paid subscriber podcast episode here on substack
Most weekends: youtube vlog
So basically, you can’t get rid of me and I’m on every platform, LOL. Speaking of which, I want to do a full breakdown of favorite follows on various platforms. I have found so many interesting people that bring value to my days. Some with practical tips, some with inspiration, some with entertainment… all so worth following!

Loved the YouTube video! I still love to watch YouTube videos regularly. I’ve been watching since 2008 when all the OG beauty gurus were starting out (aging myself a bit lol). Do you have a video or post talking about how you use Notion? I’ve had the app forever but I haven’t used it because it feels overwhelming for some reason.
I am actually excited for YouTube’s reemergence!!! Can’t wait to watch the first episode 💕💕
