I totally can relate to ‘fear of failure’ especially when I was in school. For instance, when I would take tests I would go into it feeling confident, but the outcome wouldn’t be good. That’s why I had an IEP in school where I would have my tests read to me aloud and I had tutors as well.
Going from 12 years old to now 19, a graduate AND having a job (part time but still a job) with u and your channels by my side. So thank for all of it BUT ESPECIALLY the mental knots. Thank you Ashley
BIG on not comparing your journey to others.. in my last year of college, dissertation due, working part time and unintentionally fuuuuming at people who look like they’re getting by so easily. sometimes you really have to fake it til you make it (even if you’re just faking being calm lmao)
Girl, did you look into my window and just take a snapshot of my life right now? I'm starting a new job in 2 weeks and I'm dealing with some positive stress about moving to a new city (positive because a better kind of feeling opposed to job hunting, but stress is still stress). Thank you for your advice and your insights!! I'm glad you created a space that validates these feelings of anxiety - but also offering kind reminders to give ourselves grace to try better.
i actually might start crying cause lord this past month i have been going THROUGH it especially with my anxiety and seeing this post especially from one of my favs actually warms my soul cause it truly does get lonely sometimes and to know that i'm not alone really helps :(( thank you ashley i appreciate you sm you have no idea how seeing this rn has changed my day
this next academic year is about to be THE challenge on my fear of failure. i’m finishing med school, writing my thesis and i have a super duper important exam at the very end and girl do i spiral. it’s like i know i’m capable of having a great grade and of writing a good thesis but somehow i just keep on self sabotaging. it’s hard to push that doubt away and just focus and do the damn work! thank you for taking your time to do a video like this. as always, mother never fails 🫶🏻 good luck with everything ash!
Oh I desperately needed this!!!! I’m currently juggling two jobs and that really is my life. I only live to work, eat, and sleep. I do some things for myself every now and then but I can barely afford to. I feel like my 20’s are being wasted but oh well 😢
This video could not have come at a better time girl, omg. I just found out that my health is declining badly and Im going to need to make several extreme lifestyle changes that Im not even sure how to navigate. Im living on my own at 21 turning 22 and am trying to figure out how to prioritize my health while still having a stable income. Ive been in such a shit mental state since I learned about my health and I was putting it off for like a week but I know if I keep putting it off, it wont end well. Thank you for this video and all the positivity you spread.
OUR INTERNET MOM LIVESTREAMS QUESTION MARK QUESTION MARK ABSOLUTELYYYYYY OMG LFGGGGGGG (loved the video queen thank u so much for the advice i do need to be delusional sometimes because when i am things happen and it's like . mindblowing)
lately i feel like such a failure, everything i do is wrong, judged... im exhausted of being this normal human being, i have undiagnosed adhd and it's REALLY difficult for me to function daily and do things right... honestly i dont know what i should do anymore. i sabotage myself everyday, bc i dont deserve anything.
recognizing the bad patterns and issue is honestly the most important step. knowing what doesnt help you and taking the next step to help yourself is the best thing you can do. YOU DO DESERVE EVERYTHING. take the time to learn about yourself and possibly get diagnosed so a professional can help you achieve mental freedom
@@AshleyIppolito nah im crying, thank you for responding. this means so much Ashley. even though i have one friend irl, i dont have the support i need. i only have support online, and honestly.. that's enough for me.
Girl, i felt this like juggling making content, work, my podcast, modeling/acting like it gets so overwhelming and I also get bad imposter syndrome and need a couple days at a time to take it all in
ME TOO. I do good for a little bit and then i overthink and have to almost process it all. its so draining but everytime we come out of this cycle, it makes us just a bit smarter on how to navigate and deal with it
Being delusional really works!! I started doing nails almost a year ago and from a few months to now I stared saying “I can do it”, so when my friends and family show me inspo for their nails I don’t doubt anymore or say no, I say “yep, I can do it” even if a haven’t tried it, and even if the results aren’t perfect they end up loving it!! So yess 10/10 recommend being delusional
Legitimately, i am having this dilemma of starting all over again, and you have always been there with the perfect video as always. Like, ahhh, i love and appreciate you so much
i LOVE these videos cuz sometimes they make me realize some patterns that i have in my life that need some fixing 😭 also livestreams would be SO fun and interactive, maybe u could play games with us and/or talk about music and ranking stuff (and maybe post it later here like a lot of streamers do lol)?? idk i feel like it'd be so much fun
Ashley, in the last year you've become one of my top 3 youtubers, like i LOVE your videos, kind of wish you would post more vlogs or just videos in general, but its ok, and about live stream, I think you would do great if you would stream on Twitch, like that would be amazing, like i did already watched all your videos (hopefully that does not make me sound like a creep) , but i think you know how it is when you find someone on this big internet, who's content you just enjoy so much, its just natural, my opinion. Anyway getting to the point im so happy you took that leap of faith and posted on yt, and yea, so excited for more content from you. I ADORE YOU GIRLLL❤❤❤
i needed this rn. i have a cold right now and have been so bored and not doing well also my birthday is in 3 days and i’m not ready to get older. thank you so much for posting this ily ashley 💜
11:22 I have too and this advice actually really helps with that bc last march my grandfather died and I was 16 I didn’t know how to process it and this year in January my grandma passed and it took a lot of work to process it and I’m still processing it sometimes but it’s opening my eyes to how short life is that maybe I shouldn’t be dwelling on all this stuff to the point of exhaustion that I need to make good of the time I have while also processing hard things instead of letting it take over my life
While I was watching this and you started talking about the fear of failure and how you have to take a leap of faith I emailed my university to inquire about my thesis dissertation that I'd been dragging out for months 🥺 ty I'll keep u updated (if u want, if not it's okay hehe)
Okay overshare time: I just got off a call with my long distance situation-ship and I don’t know what was in the air today but the stress from my workday had not left my body and I was having so much difficulty staying present and engaged I ended up asking to end the call early even though I was looking forward to talking to him all day. And now I feel like a mess, and I’m spiraling thinking about everything I could have done differently to prevent my brain from feeling like it’s frying in a pan. Anyway- you have perfect timing, Ashley! Thank youuu
there are contexts where its just so damn hard to have this mentality, cause pursuing your dreams and goals doesn’t really depends on you but on external political/economic factors :( but tbh living with that so very low ceiling that kinda stifles all hopes has made me be so negative in all aspects of my life, so im gonna try to apply the little I can and try and have a more positive attitude towards the outcome of things I can do. thanks ash
I'm not a native speaker and learning English by myself, without the help of school has been the greatest achievement of my life. I've applied for a language exam and I'm taking it next week. At the moment I'm stressing myself about it to the point where I can't say anything without pressuring myself to say it ten times more advanced than it needs to be. It led me to the absolute opposite effect that I wanted and now I feel as if I lost all my knowledge. I want to express myself perfectly, in the most stellar way possible, but in doing so I get overwhelmed and my brain stops working. Once I make a slight slip up, I'm being way too harsh on myself and I tell myself that I'm not good enough, others are better, etc. . My best friend has been trying to calm me down and talk some sense into me, but it's still happening and I don't know how to stop it. Seeing your video and hearing 2:09 made me feel so seen and understood. Your videos always bring me comfort and joy, thank you so much for being so honest about everything and for being the amazing person you are. 🫂🤍
I'm so proud of you ash. and thank you for this i needed this so much. I'm from Lebanon and with everything that is going on and the constant stress and anxiety that I've been feeling this was truly what i needed. been watching your videos for almost 6 years now and your channels has always been such a comfort place for me.
I’m starting my first big girl job in a new city next week after graduating from grad school this summer. You have no idea how much I needed this video because I’ve been on the verge of tears all week due to anxiety and stress. Thank you, Ash! ❤️
honestly i would love to hear about your job more! ive been wanting to do youtube for years and it would be awesome to hear more about it from someone who is so successful at it
Funnily enough, earlier this year when you mentioned you’d be at VidCon this year I debated on getting tickets. I really wanted to go and meet you but my fear of flying and traveling alone got the better of me and I was so sad. But I did book a smaller, less fear-inducing trip for later this year, so progress!
18:12 the way I’ve been a fan of both you and Kevin since 2020 is kinda crazy that it happened at the same time but so grateful you’re both getting the recognition and success you deserve
This is honestly the most relatable video and creator ever!!! I feel so understood and motivated to take on new challenges!! THANK YOU SO MUCH I FEEL SO INSPIRED!! ❤️
This resonates with me cause I’ve been through a lot these past few years.but this year particularly I had to cut off some friends and go no contact with my mother .I finally set myself free from the pain from all these years.your mental knot series has help me make sense of what I needed to do .im also trying to say f it to going out in general even if it’s with friends or family .anyway keep shining ash my fellow Scorpio
I've been going through some really difficult stuff and I 'm glad I came across this. It's good that you keep these mental knot videos. I have been struggling recently with loneliness and anxiety and people who are just genuinely not good for me anymore, and recently I've been feeling conflicted about a lot of things. I guess I just kinda need a friend these days, and this video got to me Thank you so much Ashley
I'm in particularly rough stretch due to being diagnosed with many chronic issues and i just completely did a 180 in uni because of it. One of my huge anxieties is because these issues are not like super debilitating like I am a normal human on the outside but on the inside I'm lightheaded, fatigued, in pain, etc. Anyways 5 anxiety pills later and I'm doing better! I just wanted to put this out for any people also struggling with this! Also: Everything you mention in this video is super close to home as well thank you so much for talking about it I know its hard!
i have been going THRU it just like everyone else. i have been battling multiple chronic illnesses since 2020, and ive had 3 breakups. But i have been better at acknowledging the fact that i am here still, and i won't stop for no one to achieve my own happiness and peace. I love your vids ash and i appreciate you being so honest!
I started watching you at 14 right before my life almost fell apart, I’m 18 now and my life’s feeling that way again so it’s always been comforting to know even to this day I have your videos to help me feel comforted and happy in time where I don’t feel it often. I love you mother Ash🫶🏼🩷
OKAY PLEASE TWITCH BUT ALSO thank you so much for these mental health videos Ashley 💗💗 istg whenever I’m going through smth these are posted at the perfect time and I’m so so grateful. You’re doing great queen
Thanks for the advice Ashley! every method is different for everybody but as an optimist I have to always focus on bootstrapping myself through tough times to continue being happy.
Thanks so much for this vid, Ash. I have a lot of mental illness and self worth issues that really do hold me back from a lot. A big part of my lack of confidence being my body. But I’m working towards having the body that I do feel confident in and I’m trying to push myself into doing more things instead of being anxious about everything 😅
Ash, as someone that has been a lurker/been following you for a while, you deserve all that you have. Your channels got me through law school and beyond, I believe that I'm not alone when I say that your commentaries and - perhaps more importantly - sincere care for your audience is truly priceless. You're making a difference in people's lives, I hope that this gives you comfort during the more difficult times.
just started college last month, which made me think of how when i first started highschool, i watched u for the first time. just wanted to say thank u for this video it def came at the right time !!
this video came at the perfect time! can’t believe we are all going through this turning point 🤣🫶🏼 thank you for sharing these tips Ashley! celebrate yourself ❤️🔥
This brings me so much comfort ❤ thank you needed this im currently on my soberity journey and i feel like im losing my mind and having break downs most days love u appreciate you 😊 you're videos really do help 🙏 and so proud of you with the opportunities you deserve it all queen 👑❤️
you said that thing about all of us going through change and i was like “huh idk if there’s any really big change for me rn🤔” -AND then i remembered my childhood bestie has been ignoring me for like half the year 😐🥲 it’s been two weeks not crying about it, the longest time in a whiiilee. THE FEAR OF FAILURE THO HAS BEEN GOING STRONG. like i live with it but HELLO? enough
ash I love how personal you get with things sometimes. your honesty like the freind I never had and we love you sm. you and ALL your channels mean to the world to me and I don’t know what i would do without your content thank you sm
i feel like everytime you give advice it makes me feel motivated to do stuff, genuinely you are such a comfort person to sit and listen to, i can't believe it's been almost seven years since i first saw your reaction to reputation and started following your channels and content, whenever i was feeling down for whatever reason i would simply just watch your videos and immediately i felt better, you are light and so important in this community, don't you ever forget that, thank you so much for being there and making our days a bit easier ❤
i'm a week late to this video, but i definitely needed to hear everything you said and i know this is going to be a video that i'll have to rewatch at some point. but thank you so much for the advice... i think we're the same age, but i still sometimes view you as an older sister who i can sit down with for girl talk because you're so relatable, but also inspirational. thank you for being one of my comfort youtubers... hope you're doing well 🤍
Ashley, i've been watching your videos for years and really you've been such a comfort place for me here, I always look up to see if you uploaded or not, and when i see you did, it's like ''time to bring my tea because i'm hanging out with ashley now'' you really said so much i resonate with right now, and just listening to you makes it less alone in whatever one is feeling, you feel like a bestfriend i never met or even knew me in real life lol i love you so much and you are gorgeous, your fan/friend from egypt
Can’t sleep bc of a panic attack and i find this u really know what to post and when to post it thanks ash for getting me thro countless sleepless nights
I wish there was a repost option on youtube, I want to send it to everyone I know bc it’s so good and REAL advice, not coming from a motivational channel or anything, just a normal girl girlbossing and we love to see it 🥳 keep on girlie you’re doing so good !! 🤍
The “just do it” slogan is so relevant to my life right now because my manager asked me this morning if I’m interested in being a supervisor. I said yes and that made me excited and scared at the same time.
this has been so helpful, like i saw myself in EVERYTHING you said, like do we share the same brain ?! but anyway for everyone reading this, we can do it and it will get better !
This is so real!!! I am working towards becoming a college professor and when I started college I was so scared of public speaking or socializing but I got tired of being scared and I wondered how am I supposed to teach in a few years if I can't even be confident in myself and my skills? So I started saying yes and going to public speaking events or social events on my own and it has helped me sooo much now ppl think I'm an extrovert when 8 years ago I barely spoke to ppl!
the way you ate every point! this was exactly what i needed to hear i’m about to start a new job and i may have an opportunity to go to NYC for theatre! i’m scared to say yes but i really want to go and i feel like it’ll be such a great opportunity. thank you for this ash love you💗
Mushroom are being explored as potential treatments for various mental health conditions, including anxiety obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and autism.
Only people who have taken mushrooms can only understand the powers lol and they grow everywhere September until first frost here in wales.
y'all talk about the benefits of mushrooms, but no one talks about where to fetch from.
The fear of failure is so on point girlll u read me without even knowing me
i fear i read myself a little bit there as well
I totally can relate to ‘fear of failure’ especially when I was in school. For instance, when I would take tests I would go into it feeling confident, but the outcome wouldn’t be good. That’s why I had an IEP in school where I would have my tests read to me aloud and I had tutors as well.
“Be positive” no no “be delusional” best thing I’ve ever heard
My comfort person/ virtual older sis fr
Going from 12 years old to now 19, a graduate AND having a job (part time but still a job) with u and your channels by my side. So thank for all of it BUT ESPECIALLY the mental knots. Thank you Ashley
not us growing up together : ' )
BIG on not comparing your journey to others.. in my last year of college, dissertation due, working part time and unintentionally fuuuuming at people who look like they’re getting by so easily. sometimes you really have to fake it til you make it (even if you’re just faking being calm lmao)
"This Is Me Trying" IYKYK 😭
Girl, did you look into my window and just take a snapshot of my life right now? I'm starting a new job in 2 weeks and I'm dealing with some positive stress about moving to a new city (positive because a better kind of feeling opposed to job hunting, but stress is still stress). Thank you for your advice and your insights!! I'm glad you created a space that validates these feelings of anxiety - but also offering kind reminders to give ourselves grace to try better.
As someone who survived on the old mental knots I truly truly love that they are back
as someone who is severely anxious all the time ( especially at the moment ) i need this . Ashley you are our internet mom for a reason
i actually might start crying cause lord this past month i have been going THROUGH it especially with my anxiety and seeing this post especially from one of my favs actually warms my soul cause it truly does get lonely sometimes and to know that i'm not alone really helps :(( thank you ashley i appreciate you sm you have no idea how seeing this rn has changed my day
this next academic year is about to be THE challenge on my fear of failure. i’m finishing med school, writing my thesis and i have a super duper important exam at the very end and girl do i spiral. it’s like i know i’m capable of having a great grade and of writing a good thesis but somehow i just keep on self sabotaging. it’s hard to push that doubt away and just focus and do the damn work! thank you for taking your time to do a video like this. as always, mother never fails 🫶🏻 good luck with everything ash!

I am in my 30th and this is my life. People keep telling me to slow down but it is hard 🥲
This video could not have come at a better time girl, omg.

Legitimately, i am having this dilemma of starting all over again, and you have always been there with the perfect video as always. Like, ahhh, i love and appreciate you so much
this video literally summarized my whole week of going back to college and planning for my future, the queen has done it again
PLEASEEEEE THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, SUCH IMPORTANT TOPIC ♡♡♡♡♡
i LOVE these videos cuz sometimes they make me realize some patterns that i have in my life that need some fixing 😭 also livestreams would be SO fun and interactive, maybe u could play games with us and/or talk about music and ranking stuff (and maybe post it later here like a lot of streamers do lol)?? idk i feel like it'd be so much fun

how did you know i was getting in my head again and angrily typing out another note in my phone...this timing is scary ashley
i needed this rn. i have a cold right now and have been so bored and not doing well also my birthday is in 3 days and i’m not ready to get older.
thank you so much for posting this ily ashley 💜
11:22 I have too and this advice actually really helps with that bc last march my grandfather died and I was 16 I didn’t know how to process it and this year in January my grandma passed and it took a lot of work to process it and I’m still processing it sometimes but it’s opening my eyes to how short life is that maybe I shouldn’t be dwelling on all this stuff to the point of exhaustion that I need to make good of the time I have while also processing hard things instead of letting it take over my life
I’ve been struggling personally with self sabotage lately. So this video has really helped me 🙂↕️
While I was watching this and you started talking about the fear of failure and how you have to take a leap of faith I emailed my university to inquire about my thesis dissertation that I'd been dragging out for months 🥺 ty I'll keep u updated (if u want, if not it's okay hehe)
Hey Ashley! Long time viewer here. Love the Mental Knot series!
Okay overshare time: I just got off a call with my long distance situation-ship and I don’t know what was in the air today but the stress from my workday had not left my body and I was having so much difficulty staying present and engaged I ended up asking to end the call early even though I was looking forward to talking to him all day. And now I feel like a mess, and I’m spiraling thinking about everything I could have done differently to prevent my brain from feeling like it’s frying in a pan.
Anyway- you have perfect timing, Ashley! Thank youuu
That first one HIT ME HARD. My fear of failure is PRESENT
Girl put out a video she knew we all needed! Thanks so much Ash! I’m a musician. Hope to one day have you reacting to my music 😆.
there are contexts where its just so damn hard to have this mentality, cause pursuing your dreams and goals doesn’t really depends on you but on external political/economic factors :( but tbh living with that so very low ceiling that kinda stifles all hopes has made me be so negative in all aspects of my life, so im gonna try to apply the little I can and try and have a more positive attitude towards the outcome of things I can do. thanks ash
Thank you for this. I actually really needed this ❤
The twitch stream question.... i would love nothing more than hours of Ash
I'm not a native speaker and learning English by myself, without the help of school has been the greatest achievement of my life. I've applied for a language exam and I'm taking it next week.

your concert experience is soooo real I've gone to every sold out gig I wanted to see this year!!
this is so on point with my life right now, being able to listen to someone open up feels great ❤
This resonates with me cause I’ve been through a lot these past few years.but this year particularly I had to cut off some friends and go no contact with my mother .I finally set myself free from the pain from all these years.your mental knot series has help me make sense of what I needed to do .im also trying to say f it to going out in general even if it’s with friends or family .anyway keep shining ash my fellow Scorpio

Ashleyyyy I cannot get over those earrings plz share omg

ive been really struggling lately so i needed this, thankyou so much for being a breath of fresh air ashley, lysm
OKAY PLEASE TWITCH BUT ALSO thank you so much for these mental health videos Ashley 💗💗 istg whenever I’m going through smth these are posted at the perfect time and I’m so so grateful. You’re doing great queen
Thanks for the advice Ashley! every method is different for everybody but as an optimist I have to always focus on bootstrapping myself through tough times to continue being happy.
Thanks so much for this vid, Ash. I have a lot of mental illness and self worth issues that really do hold me back from a lot. A big part of my lack of confidence being my body. But I’m working towards having the body that I do feel confident in and I’m trying to push myself into doing more things instead of being anxious about everything 😅
You know I do go through anxiety a lot and watching your videos just relieve my anxiety or make my day love you girl ❤
I understand this so much. Sending all my love to you. Just know you’re getting stronger everyday even if doesn’t feel like it
Ash, as someone that has been a lurker/been following you for a while, you deserve all that you have. Your channels got me through law school and beyond, I believe that I'm not alone when I say that your commentaries and - perhaps more importantly - sincere care for your audience is truly priceless. You're making a difference in people's lives, I hope that this gives you comfort during the more difficult times.
Thanks for being authentic and creating a safe space for everyone Ashley. What a queen you are!
You have no idea how much your videos help me feel safe in this hectic world xx
God, going back to school in 12 grade is a big slap in the face after the best summer ever. Thanks Ash!
AAASssssshhhhh, love this pep talk. Needed this now more than ever, you have no idea.

You just post these videos at the right time !! I really needed this right now ❤😅

This brings me so much comfort ❤ thank you needed this im currently on my soberity journey and i feel like im losing my mind and having break downs most days love u appreciate you 😊 you're videos really do help 🙏 and so proud of you with the opportunities you deserve it all queen 👑❤️
this was honestly such a perfectly timed video, we really are all going through it
you said that thing about all of us going through change and i was like “huh idk if there’s any really big change for me rn🤔” -AND then i remembered my childhood bestie has been ignoring me for like half the year 😐🥲 it’s been two weeks not crying about it, the longest time in a whiiilee.
THE FEAR OF FAILURE THO HAS BEEN GOING STRONG. like i live with it but HELLO? enough
Girl i needed this today thank you for making this bc sometimes when my anxiety is rough it’s nice to hear some big sis advise. love you ❤️✨
I’m going through LOTS of change right now and this video meant so so much to me. 💜
ash I love how personal you get with things sometimes. your honesty like the freind I never had and we love you sm. you and ALL your channels mean to the world to me and I don’t know what i would do without your content thank you sm
i feel like everytime you give advice it makes me feel motivated to do stuff, genuinely you are such a comfort person to sit and listen to, i can't believe it's been almost seven years since i first saw your reaction to reputation and started following your channels and content, whenever i was feeling down for whatever reason i would simply just watch your videos and immediately i felt better, you are light and so important in this community, don't you ever forget that, thank you so much for being there and making our days a bit easier ❤
i'm a week late to this video, but i definitely needed to hear everything you said and i know this is going to be a video that i'll have to rewatch at some point. but thank you so much for the advice... i think we're the same age, but i still sometimes view you as an older sister who i can sit down with for girl talk because you're so relatable, but also inspirational. thank you for being one of my comfort youtubers... hope you're doing well 🤍
babe! read the book the year of yes, it’s all about saying yes to everything for a year regardless of fear! it’s amazing

LOVE U SO MUCH I GOT U !!
@@AshleyIppolito LOVE YOU MORE QUEEN!!!!🥹
I really needed this, I actually cried :( thank you ash, love having you as my internet friend 🧡
Ashley, i've been watching your videos for years and really you've been such a comfort place for me here, I always look up to see if you uploaded or not, and when i see you did, it's like ''time to bring my tea because i'm hanging out with ashley now'' you really said so much i resonate with right now, and just listening to you makes it less alone in whatever one is feeling, you feel like a bestfriend i never met or even knew me in real life lol i love you so much and you are gorgeous, your fan/friend from egypt
How did you post this exactly when i needed it? Thank you so much Ashley youre amazing!
Can’t sleep bc of a panic attack and i find this u really know what to post and when to post it thanks ash for getting me thro countless sleepless nights
Did not expect this video would resonate with me SO much. Thank you lady! Continued success to you! ❤
I was just having a mental breakdown earlier, but then I saw this. MOTHER ASHLEY IS GIVINGGGG
I wish there was a repost option on youtube, I want to send it to everyone I know bc it’s so good and REAL advice, not coming from a motivational channel or anything, just a normal girl girlbossing and we love to see it 🥳 keep on girlie you’re doing so good !! 🤍
The “just do it” slogan is so relevant to my life right now because my manager asked me this morning if I’m interested in being a supervisor. I said yes and that made me excited and scared at the same time.
THANK YOU SM ASH!!!! I barely mentally survived this day & ur video is AWESOME
LY SO MUCH GIRL KEEP IT UP!! XX
the older sister is never knew i needed but i really wanted. My comfort person ❤️
I really appreciate you continuing this series, it's my favorite on the channel ❤
this has been so helpful, like i saw myself in EVERYTHING you said, like do we share the same brain ?! but anyway for everyone reading this, we can do it and it will get better !
Needed this, I got a driving test the day before my birthday and I truly want this for myself. Thank you!
i have literally missed you so much. A MENTAL KNOT YES THIS WAS SO NEEDED
This is so real!!! I am working towards becoming a college professor and when I started college I was so scared of public speaking or socializing but I got tired of being scared and I wondered how am I supposed to teach in a few years if I can't even be confident in myself and my skills? So I started saying yes and going to public speaking events or social events on my own and it has helped me sooo much now ppl think I'm an extrovert when 8 years ago I barely spoke to ppl!
This video only made me adore you more than I already adored you ❤
the way you ate every point!
this was exactly what i needed to hear
i’m about to start a new job and i may have an opportunity to go to NYC for theatre! i’m scared to say yes but i really want to go and i feel like it’ll be such a great opportunity. thank you for this ash love you💗
I relate with 'this is me trying' and I relate with this video... I feel sorry for all of us. Anyway, love you Ashley
