I just want to come on here and say thank you all so much for all the kind words/words of encouragement in the comments. Posting this video was giving me lot’s anxiety. but reading all your comments really made it clear that it was worth posting. Worth being honest with all of you about how I feel/what I’ve been dealing with and also worth sharing my expierence in hopes it brings some insight to people who may be experiencing something similar. Seeing your comments saying you/or someone you know has been experiencing rhinitis out of the blue and this video has shared the perspective that mold could be the culprit for the symptoms. Comments saying that the fact I shared my psoriasis journey makes them feel not alone. These comments bring tears to my eyes. So I wanted to give another little update, I have since moved out of my families home and into a rental property more fit for Stuart & I to live and for me to have the space I need for filming, I appreciate all your comments saying “renting a place isn’t necessary” and in a lot of ways I agree it wasn’t necessary.. But it makes me feel better having a place where I have the space/proper lighting to film the content with the quality I believe you all deserve to see of me. So again, thank you so much for all the support. You all are so kind with the biggest caring hearts, and I truly don’t deserve all the love you offer me. Thank you for putting up with me during this crazy time, and I appreciate you all so much for being understanding and sympathetic to me. I have already filming two videos in the new studio and honestly they look pretty similar to how they would have back home, so I am super happy about that! And I look forward to getting back home soon 💗
Everyone is going through their own struggles and it really helps you feel less alone when you see such a positive & hard-working person coping with their own struggles & health issues yet still managing to stay optimistic & work through it. ❤ Thanks for being open Mia, we love you!
As a mom, and grandmother, your health is so much more important than "the quality of the videos" for a few months. Take care of you and I' sure everyone will understand.
Yes! It doesn't have to be "perfect". Honestly there doesn't have to be any videos at all. I really hope she knows we'll be here whenever she gets back on track.
Just film at Mama Maples’ kitchen table. I watch your videos because of your bright, sunshiny personality. Please take care of yourself. You’re a national treasure!
Someone once told me that it doesn't matter if you're drowning in 3 feet of water while someone else is drowning in 30 feet -- you're both still drowning. We love you Mia! Take all the time you need to make sure your living space is safe and healthy💗
Yes. When I was young and had any kind of issue, I was always told that there are other people with much worse problems. Ok, fine that is probably true, but why do my problems have to be made to seem insignificant because others may be worse off. That attitude just made me feel bad/guilty for daring to bring up any kind of issue. And please note this was not my parents. It was mostly people in the educational institutions. The same people who told me I couldn’t do certain things I knew perfectly well I could just because I have a disability.
My mom was hospitalized 3 times in a year with “pneumonia” before they figured out she had mold in her lungs, 2 years later she’s still dealing with some of the side effects but she’s on the mend. Take care of yourself Mia! I personally know I’d watch your videos regardless, you could be inside a cardboard box on a Highway filming and I’d watch every minute, you’re so genuine and real. One of my absolute favorites to watch! Sending you so much love as you navigate your health and your housing situation! 🧡
You are the entertainment, Mia! Please take care! So happy you didn’t have to chase this for years. I can tell you are bummed but WE AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE! …big hugs!
We don’t come here to just be entertained by you. You aren’t just a court jester stumbling around to entertain people. We come here for you. Your ups and downs. You are more than the content you create. You’re not a machine and you shouldn’t hold yourself to a robot standard. You create whatever you want to create. This is your art form. We are here for the art.
Well said. Also if one is not at his best or enjoying what is doing (in general, Mia clearly loves and have lots of fun in the contents she creates and it's what makes it special, cause you see when she doesn't enjoy something anymore she just doesn't do it anymore) it just impacts badly what you do. And let you enjoy it even less
Just because your struggles aren’t as bad as someone else’s doesn’t mean they stop being struggles. It’s ok to be upset and having a hard time and all of us only care about your health more than where you film ❤
I immediately thought, "its the house, bet theres mold". Im glad you and your doctors figured it out. There is ALWAYS value in sharing because it can help others. So many things remain a mystery in health and the more experience is shared the closer we get to resolving issues. I very much appreciate this video, thank you for posting it.
*Thank you Mia* bringing attention to the seriousness of mold. I bought my house 5 years. It was never disclosed to me that there unseen mold behind a wall and my ceiling. I had my house remediated 2x, and it was never properly done. I can’t sell my house, I used all savings, and still living with mold. I know this is a fairly old video, but I appreciate you using your platform to get this message out. It’s important ! I hope you are doing better now. Thanks a bunch 💐 for sharing this !!
Hi Mia, you are not a character, you are a person with a full spectrum of emotions and situations. I hope you get better soon and we support Mia the person, not only the youtuber. Love you!
Literally!! I was like.. video quality?? People watch you because of the energy you hold!! Backgrounds and quality arent the ones making me laugh and smile haha :)
Mia, film wherever , in the park, outside. This is the time to explore new places and ideas. You quality of videos should never be a burden when you health and life are at stake. Lots of hugs and love! You’ve got this.

I am a retired educator. I been watching your channel for over a year. It is true, you are a ray of sunshine. I had cancer twice and lost all family to cancer. I have severe eczema after having chemotherapy. I said all this to let you know even though your problems are your problems they are no less important to you and your followers. Thank for sharing. It helps people know everyone has life issues but knowledge and caring helps. My daughter and I love seeing the support you get from your Mother. Many blessings. 🤗
Mia - You could make videos just like this one, sitting in a room chatting, for a month and I'm pretty sure everyone would be right there with you. You are allowed to be a human with things that go wrong, and the fact that you want to share your feelings is something we should be grateful for. I'm glad things seem to be turning around for you health wise. ❤
Girl don't worry about the quality! you don't have to rent a studio to film, do wat you can with what you have. You have build a beautiful community that will understand what you are going through. The important thing is that you and Stewart ara safe
Totally! I'm happy just to watch Mia do basically anything anywhere at this point 😂 Reviewing rocks from the garden? I'd watch it. Sewing a tiny cape for a hamster? I'd watch it. And if you ever feel like you don't wanna make new content I will happily watch blooper reels all day every day. 😌 Also my boyfriend who's interests are climbing and hiking and gears, now loves Mia too and if I watch the new video without him he gets mad 😂
DON'T RENT A PLACE!!! We are here for YOU. I will be here, watching your videos, no matter where you film. Stay away from your house for now, film anywhere, In the car, at the store, momma Maples, Tates, ANYWHERE!! Your supporters will stand by you 💯. Hope you get better and stop worrying ❤️

Please don’t ever undermine your feelings. Your feelings are completely valid and you are in no way “complaining” I’ve recently learned in my trauma and crisis counselling that you need to give yourself permission to feel what you feel and to know that your feelings are valid and that you don’t need to apologize for feeling what you’re feeling. Your health is much more important to us than the quality of your videos Mia! You are such an amazing person and I’m sure that we can all agree that we would sooner go without no videos until things start to look up for you all than have you expose yourself to those toxins for any reason at all. We love you, we support you and we will always be right here when you get back. You’re an amazing person and I truly hope that things start to look up for you and that you are able to focus on your health and get better. Take good care of yourself and know that I am sending positive and healing vibes your way girl! Much love and adoration for you and your family 💗✨🫶
As a healthcare worker, mold is a big deal. It can lead to a multitude of issues and the pure fact that you are able to put on for us while you are feeling ill speaks volumes. You should never feel bad about something you have no control over. Thanks for sharing. I hope things get better for you.
I’d agree mould can affect people so much! I had a cough when I was 10 that lasted four months despite going to the doctors and getting antibiotics for it. Antibiotics the first time worked but the second time, they didn’t. Then they tried hay-fever tablets, again worked for a while and then the cough came back. We then tried an asthma inhaler and that seemed to work when it would flare up. Mum moved my bed and there was mould on the walls in my room due to the plants being up against the outside of the house and not allowing it to air. We moved from that house and I’ve never coughed for as long again!
Girl, you scared the crap out of us! We don't care where you film, we are just happy you figured out what was going on and can make yourself feel and be healthy! ❤
Don’t risk your health for anything. Film wherever you are and it’ll be fine, because you are the key person who brings all the quality and joy and happiness to your videos. It’s not the studio, it’s you.
Mia I have Lyme disease and I was able to lead the parents of a 10 yr old to get tested, after complaining that his back was hurting (very odd ailment for that age) and sure enough he tested positive and was able to get it diagnosed early enough that he was able to have a normal life. That made it all worth my years of suffering. With your millions of followers I bet you’ll change more lives than any other video you’ve made! ❤
You’re definitely NOT complaining. You’re too sweet for being concerned that people will be upset but, Mia, this is something real that’s going on in your life. It’s okay if the quality of the videos aren’t the best for a temporary amount of time because you and Stewart’s health is so so much more important. Love you bunches. Praying for a successful fix to the house! ❤
Girl, we are your online family. We want health and happiness for you, and your family. Please don’t rent a space just to film for us.. we watch the videos to see you! You are such a pure soul, you don’t need to apologise or explain. I hope your health improves. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Amen 🙏 I don’t care about the space, we just want you healthy. Take as much time as you need and the “quality “ will be just fine wherever your shoot from thank you for the update ❤ from NYC .
Awe Mia I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of this, and no it’s not petty it played a huge part in your life trying to create content with all the struggles behind the scenes, we did of course witness some of it but not all. I hope you can get a resolve very quickly and I wouldn’t bother renting a studio just film anywhere we understand no judgment, get well soon.❤️
Just to add to the sentiment everyone else is expressing - We will all be here whether the videos are top-notch quality, whether you sneeze every 20 seconds in a video, whether the content is fun or serious because those aren’t what keep us coming back - that’s all YOU honey! We love you Mia! We’re here because we support you! Get better soon, but also take your time. We will all be rooting for you on the sidelines in the meantime. 🩷
This needs to be on your main channel Mia because many of your followers should be aware of this information. Glad you are taking care of yourself and can’t wait to see new videos when you are ready! ❤🎉
Completely agree! Mia is the third person in the last couple of years I've heard of having serious problems with mould. I've also seen youtubers who's houses have flooded, and they haven't dealt with it properly. They'll end up with mould, or sell the house and the next people might get sick. Definitely needs to be more awareness!
I am sad you think you couldn’t share this with us sooner! We love and support you Mia! It’s okay to show the roller coaster going down hill. That’s what makes us human! I hope it goes up soon!
My dad is a home inspector and a mold tester and this video is honestly so informative in a digestible way!! Very happy you brought this up because mold can be very dangerous! Thanks Mia 💕💕
The minute we found black mold (it was about a hand-sized spot), we called the mold tester, and that brought up a repair that took a year and cost us $300k. I'm glad we did it, but it seems like our inspector should have found *something* about the water damage or whatever. In the end, buying a house from another state cost us a lot of money and everyone who finds out about it asks if we waived the inspection. I am just glad that the other side of our house had a separate HVAC. We would have had to live somewhere else for a *year*.
We just found mold about 3 weeks ago in our attic. Insurance won’t cover it of course because it’s a ventilation issue. The idiots who built our house covered every single air ventilation opening with insulation. The air is stagnant up there. Wish we could get the inspector if the house for this!
I think the quality of your videos comes from your character and personality, and how much of a beautiful soul you are. Its not about the editing, or the lighting or the angles. We stay for you, Mia ❤️
It’s not just your content that makes us happy. It’s you Mia! Your happiness and your wellbeing makes us happy. We’re here to support you no matter what content you make and even if it’s none at all. Your health matters far more than content for us. We can handle lower video quality for as long as you need us to. ❤
Couldn't be more grateful to have clicked on this video. When you started to describe your symptoms my ears perked up, especially the feeling of bruising behind the eye. I've been dealing with those feelings for months and thought I was just getting really bad migraines and wrote off the allergy issues to crazy Texas weather. Now I know how to bring it up to a doctor in a way that won't feel like just taking a shot in the dark. As someone with terrible anxiety around dealing with the healthcare system, thank you immensely for that.
You do not sound like you're complaining at all, thank you so much for sharing. The quality of your videos doesn't take precedent over your health and well being, ever. I experienced symptoms when my house was infested with mold too, and it's good that you're sharing this because many people never even considered that their allergies could be due to mold. I'm so glad that you found the problem, we all wish you the best in trying to clear out the house. Thank you for sharing what's going on we're glad to listen.
As a chronically ill person myself, I am glad to see you taking care of yourself. I am so sorry you are dealing with this and please don't apologize for a boring video. You have a lot of heavy stuff going on and we will be here through it all.
THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST WEEK! I also have scalp psoriasis, all of a sudden it spread and my hands flared up so bad, my nose was leaking too, turns out there was mold in my bedroom! I’ve moved to another room without mold and it healed within 2 weeks! Thanks so much for sharing this! Please don’t feel bad because it actually feels so validating and it helps people become more aware of this 🙏🏼
I lived in a mold infested house for 4 years and caused me soo many health issues at such a young age, so this is amazing of you for sharing awareness ❤
You are not complaining at all. It isn't only your content that makes us happy, it is mainly you, Mia. You make us happy and everyone has ups and downs. That's normal and you shouldn't be afraid or worried to share this kinda stuff to us. We will always stand by and support you Mia. No matter what happens. You litteraly made my life so much brighter and I'm grateful I found your channel.💖💖💖💖

Mia , having an autoimmune disease is never easy wherever it may be. I would like to say that sharing this personal experience with your audience makes me , as one of your audience, feel trusted to handle. That you are safe with uts and safe to share it. As someone with health issues , I can say that it is ok to feel down some days and share your emotions
Oh bless you Mia. I also had mold toxicity in the first appt we rented in 2019 to 2021 when we were indoors more often. It was horrible. I had what felt like 'colds' every week, 'hayfever/dust' allergies, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, nightmares and within weeks of moving out of our rented flat it started getting slowly better. Having been ill so much those two years I'm so relieved to be feeling better. I hope you are getting better and better. You know we will watch whatever you put you. We love the quality of things you put up but the most wonderful thing about your videos is you. Your smile, your personality are what brings us joy. ❤️
Mia!! You’re not complaining! Mold is a big deal and so is your health! If you’re in the video it’s already QUALITYYY! Because we know the hardwork and care you put into every video! We are here for you ❤
I'm highly highly allergic to mold and when I was a kid, my parents basement flooded and I got really really sick, so I had to go live with my grandpa while it was being cleaned up. Everyone in my house was totally fine except me, so people definitely react differently to mold! I hope you know how much your followers love and care about you! We'd rather see you healthy than worry about videos while you get to a healthy place! ❤
Mia, the health is the most important thing in the world. We don't come here just to admire your surroundings, you as a person is the reason why we are here. Even if you film yourself in toilet with your phone, talking to us about totally nonsense we will be here because you always, even in the darkest time, can make us laugh and not think about our problems. Never ever think again that you need to apologize us for "worse quality", as far as you or your loved once will be on that video - we have nothing to complain on :) Hope you will get well soon, take care
Mia! This didn’t feel like complaining at all! I wish you weren’t experiencing this but I appreciate that you chose to explain so that we wouldn’t all be confused. The reason I enjoy watching your videos is that I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend (a really kind, intentional, funny, joyful friend) and that doesn’t change because this video wasn’t a fun topic-you’re still you, and I was just happy to “have another conversation” with you.
Please do not add stress to your life by worrying about video quality, I’ve been here for years! Followed you through so many journeys. This is another hurdle and no matter the quality, we will be here! If you need a break, we will be here when you get back. Take the time you need, and don’t add any more stress onto what you already have.❤
Don't worry about the quality of videos Mia. I would watch a video of you chatting with us while sitting on your bed. Sorry for everything you're going through. Thanks for making our lives a lot brighter.
From someone who works in a asbestos lab, I'm so glad you took the test and you feel better! It's no joke and scary to find that still when it's outside the timeframe you mentioned ❤️ we are here for you and never feel sorry for giving us an update. It's already sweet that you share so much off it and we hope your home will be safe soon. Take care 🤗
Hi! Chronic illness and disabled viewer here! So glad you were able to get answers and always put yourself and your health first, without it nothing else can function properly. Sending so much love and fast recovery (and reno) process vibes!
Mia, I have been struggling and miserable for the past 4 years with the same exact symptoms you have. I cannot afford all the testing, I went to the allergist multiple times and they said there was nothing they could do and it came out to so much that I just have up and accepted that I might just have to deal with this. This video helped me so much, you have absolutely no idea. Thank you thank you!!
Can you stay at at friend's house for a few days to see if your symptoms clear up? That could be something you could for a start that wouldn't cost anything. Good luck, i have health issues too (not mould related) and it can be disheartening. But keep your chin up! There's always happier days ahead to look forward to ☺🌞
She's very lucky to live in a place with universal healthcare, and to have a job where she has made a good living and has saved her money wisely. I think I have MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but I can't get anyone to diagnose me in Texas.
@@skyefirenails How frustrating! So far, nobody has ever says “I thought I had EDS and MCAS, but I was wrong.”. There are so many people with it, but so few docs. I could swear there are some docs in Texas, have you asked on the Facebook groups? They might have some names. You know that you can start treating yourself anyhow, with trigger reduction (obviously), reducing high histamine foods and trying daily over the counter H1 and H2 antihistamines (reactine or Claritin and pepsid). There aren’t as good as ketotifen and sodium chromoglygate, but they’re a place to start!
Mia, you are not boring. You are not complaining. You are still helping people through this info. No need to rent a studio when already paying to fix your house's mold and asbestos issues. I hope it can be fixed up to a point that you and Stewart can live there symptom free and safely. I enjoy your videos because of your personality, your essence, not just because you make great quality videos. Your health is the most important! I'd watch a video of yours no matter where you film it, or what you film. As others have mentioned in the comments, updates like this, or bloopers from past videos are great, if you want to do those while your home is fixed. But also...if you have the ability and budget to take a break and not even put out videos (and that is what you think is best for you), I will watch when you are ready to film again. You don't owe us anything. You deserve to take care of you and your family. 😊
Mia I know this is your job but please don’t risk your health for video quality. Girl we’ve all been here for YEARS and as we do appreciate how much your put into your work we can ALL rough it for a few months without you or without high quality videos your content is still killer doesn’t matter if you’re in a studio or not we love you please take care of yourself Bella !!
We want you to be healthy, Mia!!!! You can film in a hole in the ground and we'd still watch it! Not only because your talented in everything you do, but because we all love you and support every phase of your life. Props to Stewart! In sickness and health!
Mould can be so so dangerous and I can't believe they found asbestos. Someone previously did the wrong thing when building the house. I am so glad your Doctor saw the correlation between your symptoms and the mould, just sorry it took so long :( Wishing you better days ahead and hopefully you can start to feel better. Sending love and hugs x
I'm glad you're getting some answers, I hope you feel better soon! Also, production quality isn't what makes your videos so special. It's you, your passion, and your joy! Take care of you first, and any content we get in the meantime is just a bonus!! Sending love and support your way.
As someone who has multiple chronic illnesses I appreciate you opening up about these deeply personal things and appreciate it. It reminds me that everyone goes through things and we are not alone in own times of hardship. Thank you ❤
My mum and I absolutely love you and your mum on your videos we have both been through so much over the last few years and your videos and energy give us so much joy in our little rural town in Lincolnshire, England. We love supporting your channel and we hope you feel better soon x
I’m glad your doctor suggested getting all those test done! Glad y’all found it as soon as possible! Here’s to getting your home back to a livable place!
You are NOT alone!!!! When my family and I moved into a new home in 2008, I endured the SAME exact thing. We had to have mold and asbestoses testing and SURE ENOUGH, there were both present. We had to live with my grandparents for two months and had to have brand new windows and doors put in after the mold and asbestoses removal which was a HUGE expense, but no more hay fever for me! I am so thankful that we went through the effort to look into this more because otherwise I would be miserable. I am still living in this same home now and I'm so, so glad I don't have to feel this way anymore. Sending all my love to you, I know how annoying this can all be. Love u so much and I'm so hopeful for you to find relief after all this is done!!
The quality of your videos won’t go down because you are the one who makes your videos special and exciting Mia! I promise you no one is going to mind darker lighting, less decor, different sound for a few months. We care about YOU and YOUR health more. ❤️
I remember always having allergic reactions around the house I grew up in. Once I went living on my own it went away and I never thought much of it. Last week I have been back a lot and sleeping in my old bedroom because I have to take care of my mom after her surgery and I swear, I was coughing and weezing ALL NIGHT. Suddenly I remembered about this video and everything started to fall into place. I noticed damp spots on the wall, my mom always has been asthmatic, even my dad who past away more than 10 years ago suddenly started having airway troubles in our house. Thanks to your video I am absolutely considering having a mold check because I don't want my moms health to decline due to this and I would love to spend more time there. Long story short: thank you so much for posting this video! Even more than a year after posting you are still helping people out with this video! Lots of love ❤

This girl honestly has such a way with words and such a nice nature. Even when it’s supposed to be about her and her health she still makes it about her viewers and their needs. Mia your health is the most important thing! You really don’t have to find a new space to film in, I would watch your videos in any light, any surrounding, with terrible sounds quality, you name it! I admire the massive effort you put into your videos and the quality and editing, it does make all the difference and is worth it, but bottom line I watch for you and your personally, and special guest appearances from your fantastic family! 🫶🏼 x
Mia, one thing I have to say is, your battle is your battle even if somebody is going through "something worse".. whats bad for you is your worse that you're experiencing. I have crohns, diabetes, anaemia and psoriasis and even though there are people going through more, it's my battle and nobody can negate it or patronize it based on "their worse". Thank you for sharing with us. We see you, we support for you and we absolutely love you.

Mia, I’m new to your channel (probably watching it couple of months), so I’ve just seen this video. I think you are sweet and adorable and very funny and that is why people love watching you. Not entirely for your content, but for you. So there should be no fear of sharing some of not so funny parts of your life. I hope you since have sold your problem and it doesn’t bother you anymore. Be healthy and happy ❤
Mia your health is so much more important than “video quality”. Your followers love you no matter what, and love any content you put out. We support you completely! This video also helps me out a lot. I recently moved out of my dad’s house into my own home. While living with my dad, I also lived in the (very leaky) basement, & I discovered a lot of mold down there. For a while, I got horrible eczema all over my face, neck and hands. My eyes were almost swollen shut, they hurt, I had the worst migraines every other day. It was awful. Since moving out, these things have improved significantly and now I really believe it was the mold causing these issues. You are not alone!!! These things stink but you will push through! Your health & safety is our main concern!
We don't follow you just for the cute videos. This was a high quality video and educational on top. We also need this content. People might go through a similar situation and spreading awareness is useful
Oh Mia, please don't feel bad about uploading potentially sad content. I struggle with chronic autoimmune illnesses and I'm sure for many of us ✨unhealthy girlies✨ this makes us feel so seen, less alone. Thank you for being so open and honest about something so personal ❤️
I'm unhealthy girly fam. I totally get it too. Life sometimes throws big challenges your way and chronic illness people know that better than most. I'm just glad she knows why she has been suffering so much with her psoriasis and 'allergies'.
I told my fiancé, I never had allergies until I moved into his house. Pretty sure this is why now! I feel for you, and I hope you can get your house into a state that’s happy and healthy for you 😊
Oh Mia!!! I understand the mold toxicity, my parents bought a home with high mold in the bathroom and kitchen. I was sick constantly!!! My “allergies” were terrible. They found it when they remodeled and it was all removed and I got better. Sending prayers and love hun. Stay safe!!!
This is so informative. Also, every single person that has watched you for an extended amount of time has just solved the "why Mia suddenly got allergies" mystery. I'm here for it.
Awe hun, it's totally okay to admit you are facing some real challenges in life. We all do. This one sounds like a major stressor too. I know I would be stressed about that. Really hoping they are able to completely remedy the situation and you can get your home back to feeling like home.
Mia, you are human. We understand. You are not harping or complaining. You are sharing with us what is going on in your life. I have an autoimmune disease too and I know it makes you susceptible to other health issues. You've been through so much! I'm praying they are able to make your home a healthy place for you. I'm praying your psoriasis gets better. 🙏 You are such a wonderful human being with a beautiful soul! Thanks for sharing this with us.❤
Not only is there value in telling your community about mold, and how it can directly affect us (which like, yeah I know someone who went thru what you're going through :/) i think its VERY important to share the business decisions you are making. Youve always been realistic and transparent with those business decisions and at this point I see it as a part of your brand. Your channel is polished and professional and you also are not scared to treat yourself like a real person on camera. There are quite a few creators on youtube that dont have that skill or may not be interested in incorporating that level of transparency into their brand/video style. But for you it works and I think your core audience respects it quite a bit
Health is priority over video quality! Your perfectionism is admirable. This happened to me and my husband and son at 6 months old. The brain fog we experienced was TERRIBLE. I’m so glad you’re on your way to feeling better! Much love Mia!!!!
Girl!! I can't believe you went back to a house full of mold and asbestos to film videos! Your health is of the utmost importance!! We couldn't care less if you filmed videos on your phone with a flashlight in the garage. We just love seeing your videos, no matter the quality. And you don't always have to be rainbows and butterflies. If you're comfortable talking about your life & your health, we'd love to hear it. If a small percentage of people aren't interested, they can skip it. You are important and you matter! Not just your content ♥️
Mia I empathize with you more than you could know. I’ve had psoriasis since I was 12 and have gone through all the treatments. Mine covers my whole body except my face. I am also in Canada and have a fantastic dermatologist who has now has me 95% clear for the past 3 years! No steroids for me anymore because previous doctors overprescribed them so bad that it caused me to get Cushings Syndrome. Awful! I’ve had this for 29 years and have literally tried everything. Everything you eat, touch and breath affects this disease. I hope this remediation in your home lessens your symptoms.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this and as someone with multiple life threatening allergies I'm glad you're taking this seriously and taking care if yourself. We'll happily watch videos from wherever its safe to film and hopefully everything with the remediation goes well and smoothly. Sending best wishes for you to continue feeling better as you get to breathe safer air.
miaaaa omg don't waste your money renting a room to make your videos!! please feel free to record in your parents house! we would watch your videos even if u recorded in a bathroom!! we don't care about the quality as long as you are okay and safe!!! please don't spend money for us!!❤️🫶🏻we love you and appreciate you mia!! PD: don't get me wrong, we appreciate so so much your quality video! but we wouldn't mind if the quality goes down a little bit cause it's not your fault and you shouldn't spend more money❤
Mia, I'm very grateful for this update! Not just because of hearing about you but because of the awareness this can bring. I work as an environmental scientist in the federal government, doing some housing-related stuff. Mostly, I do stuff related to lead-based paint. I don't know the Canadian laws about lead-based paint (so idk if your house is old enough to have that issue), but we also do a ton of outreach about lead exposures that come from renovation and repair. Lots of places have their lead-paint and asbestos programs tied together. But broadly speaking, I also work with lots of people who work on healthy housing related projects. This includes indoor air quality, mold, radon, etc. We do a lot of outreach and educational things related to trying to help people learn about these risks! I can't say I have any expertise in asbestos or mold specifically, just that I do a lot of outreach work regarding healthy housing in general. I'm truly sorry that you have to deal with this, it's devastating and so stressful. I hope all the remdiation and abatement activites in your home are successful. But please also realize how valuable and helpful that talking about this is too, because the things you mention here might help someone else watching realize they have an issue. I do a lot of outreach, but I don't necessarily reach the 131k people that, as of my writing this, have viewed this video. Of course, when you're dealing with something this stressful, that might not sound like much of a comfort, and you might not want to share these personal things. But I do genuinely think that by talking about this, you've raised some awareness and might help a few people. Take care of yourself, and your family
I've been doing bits of pieces in my flat but haven't sanded the walls because I'm worried the paint is lead-based. Is there a test you can do that will give you a reliable result whether or not there is lead? I've seen tests on amazon but reviews always say they're too unreliable to count on. Thanks for the info
@@itscherryamber I'm glad you're looking into this before sanding the walls! That's something that can release lots of lead dust if lead-based paint is present, and lead dust can be inhaled. Unfortunately, I can only answer this from an American perspective, so if you live in another country things might differ a little (you call it a "flat" so I'm not sure.) Firstly, is your home built before 1978? If it is newer, then you likely do not have to worry, since lead-based paint was banned for use in residential spaces at that time (in the US.) If it is older, we normally recommend just assuming it is present since it's easier to be safe than sorry. Again, if you are in another country, I would look up what the laws are in your area, since it's possible it was banned earlier/later than that. The EPA recognizes the 3M LeadCheck test and the D-Lead test. Unfortunately, I have also very recently heard about the 3M test being somewhat unreliable and the D-Lead test apparently smells TERRIBLE, so make of that what you will. I wish I knew of other ones but I don't. This is one reason why my team generally just recommends to act as if there is lead present if it's an old house. The EPA also has some guidelines for DIYers on their website for how to conduct renovations when you think there might be lead present. This will work no matter what country you're in, and I recommend it as a resource! Broadly speaking though the recommendations are things like putting plastic sheeting on flooring to protect it, removing furniture and other items from the room, making sure people don't enter the work area (especially children), wearing PPE (especially to prevent you from inhaling anything), proper cleaning after, how to dispose of waste, and using wet method to reduce dust. For sanding walls, you could use wet-dry sandpaper or a sanding sponge. If it's wet it will not kick up dust, and that's the main worry in doing activities like that. Finally, as long as it is well-mainained, lead-based paint is not dangerous. You do not have to do an entire abatement to remove it (that's super expensive!) Once you finish your wall sanding or other renovation activities, you can just paint over it with new paint and be fine. Just be mindful that it stays in good condition and doesnt start peeling or crumbling--that's when it's a problem. Good luck with your work! And good job looking into the risks, too.
@@piperalyssa Oh my gosh, thank you soooo much for all of the information. I appreciate it! I am in the the UK and I know it was banned in the 90s so I'm concerned about it because my flat was built in the 70s! And then I was wondering would it be in all the paint, like the doors etc, or just the wall paint. I will look into the EPAs reccomendations. I haven't heard of wet dry sandpaper actually, so I will also look into this! You're an angel, thanks for the well-thought out response
So glad you found the problem. Been allergic to mould all my life. Brain fog, chest pain, itchy skin, eyes running, so much. SO glad you found it and that you have the means to remediate it. Some folks have to stay where they are and hope that the owner fixes the problem. Don't worry about your videos. They are great.
Uhhhhh… you don’t need a studio. You are enough! Thank you for the update. That’s crazy! I had no idea mold could be that life altering. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all of this!
This video meant so much to me! Yesterday I found black mold on the walls and floor of my apartment bedroom (literally right where I sleep). The apartment mishandled a leak and both my husband and I had been having horrible symptoms that we couldn't figure out for months. We are now relocating everything we own to another unit and it's been sad. Thank you for sharing, it's made both of us feel not as alone in all this. I hope you feel better & am proud of you for making the hard choices for your health!
your health is way more important than the quality of your videos!! your community loves you for you and will support you no matter what. my boss is also highly sensitive to mold and lost everything she and her family owned to black mold quite a few years ago now. it’s no joke. I truly pray you guys will be able to get your house mold free and recover as much as possible!
Oh my goodness Mia I’m so glad you were able to figure out it was mold and asbestos. I was thinking the worst and was prepared for a good cry. We love and support you so much, thank you for sharing what’s going on 🥹💗💗
Mia, don't ever feel like your struggles are less important than someone else's. You matter, and so does your health. While being positive all the time can brighten someone's day, I find when people are real about their struggles and are relateable that I find strength in those kinds of videos too. It shows me that I'm not alone, and that things aren't always perfect for the person behind the camera either.
It isn't boring. Never. And Mia. Your health is more important than a good video quality. Take the time you'll need. It doesn't mind how long it would take. We all want a healthier Mia.
I don't comment on videos much, but I'm one of those viewers who watches because of how joyful you and your videos are and how often they make me feel better. Seeing updates like this doesn't make me feel sad or drop my mood at all, other than making me feel empathetic for what you're going through. I think you sharing your struggles helps me face mine too. You are someone who I look up to and who mostly has a positive demeanor no matter the situation, and that for me is comforting to know that you face struggles too and are strong enough to overcome them. It helps remind me that I am the same way. Also, you are human! You're not a character on the screen to us, and hearing about the entirety of your life - the good, the bad (whatever you want to share) - makes you feel more human and I think is what makes a lot of us feel connected to you even as viewers. I don't know if I'm phrasing it well, but never be afraid to share what's going on in your life (as long as you want to of course). Also like many others have already said, I watch your videos for you not for their quality. Although I think the quality of your videos are amazing and the effort you put in is definitely noticed and appreciated, I would watch no matter where/how you film. Your health is way more important and I'm wishing you all the best!! You will always have my support 💗💗
Mould and asbestos are no joke. I’m so glad you’ve found out now. Do not worry about video quality, only film if you feel like it. You could film in a shoe box and we’d all love to see it. Love you Mia
Mia 🥺 you are such a considerate and kind soul and you’re always thinking about us even when it comes to your own health! Just know that we are all rooting for you whether you’re filming high quality videos in your studio or just simply on your webcam in a poorly lit room. Thank you for updating us and opening up about what you’ve been dealing with. no matter what content you put out, we all gain something out of it ❤ take care
You’re opening up the realities of homeownership including the difficulties behind it, no shame in sharing that! I worked in restoration for a while and you see/learn a lot of things when it comes to the Ontario building requirements. It’s so important to know about certain things and this one of the ways people will know!
Mia, the quality of your videos isn't the setting - it's simply you. On your bad days and good, the authentic Mia is where the quality lies! Film in the bathroom or on a swing, we do not care
As someone who had to move out of their childhood house because of severe black mold issues this is very relatable. Mia I hope that you can clear up the issues and won't have to move❤
Your health is the most important thing to us Mia! You do not sound like you’re complaining at all you’re just informing us on things that pertain to you which we all appreciate so so much, you & I are the same age and I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time, I feel as though I grew up with you & I feel terrible that you were still putting yourself in harms way to deliver content for us! Please take your time to gather your health back!
I'm so glad you guys were able to find the issue, and crossing my fingers for you that the remediation goes well! I'm also sensitive to mold, but I only get itchy around my thighs, so it's a lot more bearable. At this point I use my itchiness like a mold detector 😂
Your health matters more than the quality of a video. I don't find anything wrong with this one. We are here for the ride with you and Stewart. You are the sweetest people, take care of yourselves. This was like tea with a friend. Thank-you for sharing
Fingers crossed that in a month or so you're back in your house with NO issues! What an incredibly well-summarized version of what must be one of the most frustrating journeys ever. I'm glad you trusted your gut and checked for asbestos, too. Wow. All the best vibes to you Mia!
I just want to come on here and say thank you all so much for all the kind words/words of encouragement in the comments. Posting this video was giving me lot’s anxiety. but reading all your comments really made it clear that it was worth posting. Worth being honest with all of you about how I feel/what I’ve been dealing with and also worth sharing my expierence in hopes it brings some insight to people who may be experiencing something similar. Seeing your comments saying you/or someone you know has been experiencing rhinitis out of the blue and this video has shared the perspective that mold could be the culprit for the symptoms. Comments saying that the fact I shared my psoriasis journey makes them feel not alone. These comments bring tears to my eyes. So I wanted to give another little update, I have since moved out of my families home and into a rental property more fit for Stuart & I to live and for me to have the space I need for filming, I appreciate all your comments saying “renting a place isn’t necessary” and in a lot of ways I agree it wasn’t necessary.. But it makes me feel better having a place where I have the space/proper lighting to film the content with the quality I believe you all deserve to see of me. So again, thank you so much for all the support. You all are so kind with the biggest caring hearts, and I truly don’t deserve all the love you offer me. Thank you for putting up with me during this crazy time, and I appreciate you all so much for being understanding and sympathetic to me. I have already filming two videos in the new studio and honestly they look pretty similar to how they would have back home, so I am super happy about that! And I look forward to getting back home soon 💗
We love you!!! ❤
💜 still sending good vibes your way!
We love you Mia! We will support you with whatever you need to do for yourself and family!💛
Everyone is going through their own struggles and it really helps you feel less alone when you see such a positive & hard-working person coping with their own struggles & health issues yet still managing to stay optimistic & work through it. ❤ Thanks for being open Mia, we love you!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
As a mom, and grandmother, your health is so much more important than "the quality of the videos" for a few months. Take care of you and I' sure everyone will understand.
Yes! It doesn't have to be "perfect". Honestly there doesn't have to be any videos at all. I really hope she knows we'll be here whenever she gets back on track.
As a human being with feelings, with no children or grandchildren, I think the same.
Totally agree! I'm sure most of us if not all of us do not care if the quality of the video goes down a bit. We are just happy to see her😊
Health shoud be the priority!
Just film at Mama Maples’ kitchen table. I watch your videos because of your bright, sunshiny personality. Please take care of yourself. You’re a national treasure!
Someone once told me that it doesn't matter if you're drowning in 3 feet of water while someone else is drowning in 30 feet -- you're both still drowning. We love you Mia! Take all the time you need to make sure your living space is safe and healthy💗
Omg I love this! 👍🏻💖
Yes. When I was young and had any kind of issue, I was always told that there are other people with much worse problems. Ok, fine that is probably true, but why do my problems have to be made to seem insignificant because others may be worse off. That attitude just made me feel bad/guilty for daring to bring up any kind of issue. And please note this was not my parents. It was mostly people in the educational institutions. The same people who told me I couldn’t do certain things I knew perfectly well I could just because I have a disability.
"Just because your problem is small it doesn't mean it doesn't matter" ..... words to live by
Yes, exactly! It’s not a competition, things just suck sometimes! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
well, the first person can just stand up. hahaha
take care mia!! no matter the quality we will all be here ❤
Even RUclips stand, i love
^for real though
Hm
Hi , Admin, have you got raise?
yes
My mom was hospitalized 3 times in a year with “pneumonia” before they figured out she had mold in her lungs, 2 years later she’s still dealing with some of the side effects but she’s on the mend. Take care of yourself Mia!
I personally know I’d watch your videos regardless, you could be inside a cardboard box on a Highway filming and I’d watch every minute, you’re so genuine and real. One of my absolute favorites to watch! Sending you so much love as you navigate your health and your housing situation! 🧡
You are the entertainment, Mia! Please take care! So happy you didn’t have to chase this for years. I can tell you are bummed but WE AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE! …big hugs!
I’m about to be tested for mold in the lungs. I’m glad your mom is OK!
My first though was mold
We don’t come here to just be entertained by you. You aren’t just a court jester stumbling around to entertain people. We come here for you. Your ups and downs. You are more than the content you create. You’re not a machine and you shouldn’t hold yourself to a robot standard. You create whatever you want to create. This is your art form. We are here for the art.
Well said!
Couldn’t have said it better, thank you!!
Well said. Also if one is not at his best or enjoying what is doing (in general, Mia clearly loves and have lots of fun in the contents she creates and it's what makes it special, cause you see when she doesn't enjoy something anymore she just doesn't do it anymore) it just impacts badly what you do. And let you enjoy it even less
YYYEEESSSS THIS ONEEEEEEE
Bump!!!!
Just because your struggles aren’t as bad as someone else’s doesn’t mean they stop being struggles. It’s ok to be upset and having a hard time and all of us only care about your health more than where you film ❤
This 💯♥️
I needed this so hard
Absolutely!!
Absolutely 💯
💯 💯 💯
I immediately thought, "its the house, bet theres mold". Im glad you and your doctors figured it out. There is ALWAYS value in sharing because it can help others. So many things remain a mystery in health and the more experience is shared the closer we get to resolving issues. I very much appreciate this video, thank you for posting it.
Yeah same !
Yes, this 100%!
I wish her doctors would have immediately went there too. Because I did as well.
That’s my problem!
*Thank you Mia* bringing attention to the seriousness of mold. I bought my house 5 years. It was never disclosed to me that there unseen mold behind a wall and my ceiling. I had my house remediated 2x, and it was never properly done. I can’t sell my house, I used all savings, and still living with mold. I know this is a fairly old video, but I appreciate you using your platform to get this message out. It’s important ! I hope you are doing better now. Thanks a bunch 💐 for sharing this !!
Hi Mia, you are not a character, you are a person with a full spectrum of emotions and situations. I hope you get better soon and we support Mia the person, not only the youtuber. Love you!
Girl! Don’t worry about video quality! We don’t care about that, we care about YOU! Keep taking care of yourself and my prayers go out to you!!
100% We love you Mia!!
Literally!! I was like.. video quality?? People watch you because of the energy you hold!! Backgrounds and quality arent the ones making me laugh and smile haha :)
Mia, film wherever , in the park, outside. This is the time to explore new places and ideas. You quality of videos should never be a burden when you health and life are at stake. Lots of hugs and love! You’ve got this.
This is such a great idea, I would love outside videos. Especially with the weather becoming nicer. Just like hanging out with a friend outside.
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

I am a retired educator. I been watching your channel for over a year. It is true, you are a ray of sunshine. I had cancer twice and lost all family to cancer. I have severe eczema after having chemotherapy. I said all this to let you know even though your problems are your problems they are no less important to you and your followers. Thank for sharing. It helps people know everyone has life issues but knowledge and caring helps. My daughter and I love seeing the support you get from your Mother. Many blessings. 🤗
I am so sorry for your loss. May they Rest In Peace
@@carlagaribay2115 Thank you🤗
Mia - You could make videos just like this one, sitting in a room chatting, for a month and I'm pretty sure everyone would be right there with you. You are allowed to be a human with things that go wrong, and the fact that you want to share your feelings is something we should be grateful for. I'm glad things seem to be turning around for you health wise. ❤
100% agree!
@@chocjamie @Sherly Z -- 100% agree!!!
Agreed we love her 😭😭😭
Couldn't agree more
Girl don't worry about the quality! you don't have to rent a studio to film, do wat you can with what you have. You have build a beautiful community that will understand what you are going through. The important thing is that you and Stewart ara safe
Totally! I'm happy just to watch Mia do basically anything anywhere at this point 😂
Reviewing rocks from the garden? I'd watch it.
Sewing a tiny cape for a hamster? I'd watch it.
And if you ever feel like you don't wanna make new content I will happily watch blooper reels all day every day. 😌
Also my boyfriend who's interests are climbing and hiking and gears, now loves Mia too and if I watch the new video without him he gets mad 😂
ABSOLUTELY... no need find a new place. We will watch you even if you filmed from a cave😂😂😂
...and chip! Too. No need for a new place.
DON'T RENT A PLACE!!! We are here for YOU. I will be here, watching your videos, no matter where you film. Stay away from your house for now, film anywhere, In the car, at the store, momma Maples, Tates, ANYWHERE!! Your supporters will stand by you 💯. Hope you get better and stop worrying ❤️
Yes, absolutely ❤
I completely agree! We will watch anything Mia related lol. But seriously, don't worry about it
I will be here watching as well! Please stay healthy - we love you!

Please don’t ever undermine your feelings. Your feelings are completely valid and you are in no way “complaining” I’ve recently learned in my trauma and crisis counselling that you need to give yourself permission to feel what you feel and to know that your feelings are valid and that you don’t need to apologize for feeling what you’re feeling. Your health is much more important to us than the quality of your videos Mia! You are such an amazing person and I’m sure that we can all agree that we would sooner go without no videos until things start to look up for you all than have you expose yourself to those toxins for any reason at all. We love you, we support you and we will always be right here when you get back. You’re an amazing person and I truly hope that things start to look up for you and that you are able to focus on your health and get better. Take good care of yourself and know that I am sending positive and healing vibes your way girl! Much love and adoration for you and your family 💗✨🫶
As a healthcare worker, mold is a big deal. It can lead to a multitude of issues and the pure fact that you are able to put on for us while you are feeling ill speaks volumes. You should never feel bad about something you have no control over. Thanks for sharing. I hope things get better for you.
i've been living in my moms house with black mold everywhere for at least 10 years...am i gunna die
@@sammyxannythere was black mold in the ceiling of my room. I had headaches every day. Thankfully it was removed and I got a new ceiling
I lived in a house with mould in my room, didn’t realise it was there. I was sick for the whole time, about 12 months
@@sammyxanny I mean, its not gonna make you any healthier
I’d agree mould can affect people so much! I had a cough when I was 10 that lasted four months despite going to the doctors and getting antibiotics for it. Antibiotics the first time worked but the second time, they didn’t. Then they tried hay-fever tablets, again worked for a while and then the cough came back. We then tried an asthma inhaler and that seemed to work when it would flare up. Mum moved my bed and there was mould on the walls in my room due to the plants being up against the outside of the house and not allowing it to air. We moved from that house and I’ve never coughed for as long again!
Girl, you scared the crap out of us! We don't care where you film, we are just happy you figured out what was going on and can make yourself feel and be healthy! ❤
Agreed ^^ couldn’t say better myself ❤
Definitely
I was worried too...
Don’t risk your health for anything. Film wherever you are and it’ll be fine, because you are the key person who brings all the quality and joy and happiness to your videos. It’s not the studio, it’s you.
You said everything I wanted to tell her ❤
Mia I have Lyme disease and I was able to lead the parents of a 10 yr old to get tested, after complaining that his back was hurting (very odd ailment for that age) and sure enough he tested positive and was able to get it diagnosed early enough that he was able to have a normal life. That made it all worth my years of suffering. With your millions of followers I bet you’ll change more lives than any other video you’ve made! ❤
I got chills from your comment. Thank you for helping that child! I hope things go as smoothly as possible for you ❤
@@polarberri That’s so sweet you! I appreciate your super nice comment.
We love hearing about the good and the bad. It's your life, and you can share what you want with us. We love and support you no matter what.
Second this for sure!!! Sending love!
Thirding this 😊
You’re definitely NOT complaining. You’re too sweet for being concerned that people will be upset but, Mia, this is something real that’s going on in your life. It’s okay if the quality of the videos aren’t the best for a temporary amount of time because you and Stewart’s health is so so much more important. Love you bunches. Praying for a successful fix to the house! ❤
Girl, we are your online family. We want health and happiness for you, and your family. Please don’t rent a space just to film for us.. we watch the videos to see you! You are such a pure soul, you don’t need to apologise or explain. I hope your health improves. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Amen 🙏 I don’t care about the space, we just want you healthy. Take as much time as you need and the “quality “ will be just fine wherever your shoot from thank you for the update ❤ from NYC .
no we aren’t. don’t say that. parasocial relationships are toxic
Awe Mia I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of this, and no it’s not petty it played a huge part in your life trying to create content with all the struggles behind the scenes, we did of course witness some of it but not all. I hope you can get a resolve very quickly and I wouldn’t bother renting a studio just film anywhere we understand no judgment, get well soon.❤️
Just to add to the sentiment everyone else is expressing - We will all be here whether the videos are top-notch quality, whether you sneeze every 20 seconds in a video, whether the content is fun or serious because those aren’t what keep us coming back - that’s all YOU honey! We love you Mia! We’re here because we support you!
Get better soon, but also take your time. We will all be rooting for you on the sidelines in the meantime. 🩷
This needs to be on your main channel Mia because many of your followers should be aware of this information. Glad you are taking care of yourself and can’t wait to see new videos when you are ready! ❤🎉
Completely agree! Mia is the third person in the last couple of years I've heard of having serious problems with mould.
I've also seen youtubers who's houses have flooded, and they haven't dealt with it properly.
They'll end up with mould, or sell the house and the next people might get sick.
Definitely needs to be more awareness!
I am sad you think you couldn’t share this with us sooner! We love and support you Mia! It’s okay to show the roller coaster going down hill. That’s what makes us human! I hope it goes up soon!
My dad is a home inspector and a mold tester and this video is honestly so informative in a digestible way!! Very happy you brought this up because mold can be very dangerous! Thanks Mia 💕💕
The minute we found black mold (it was about a hand-sized spot), we called the mold tester, and that brought up a repair that took a year and cost us $300k. I'm glad we did it, but it seems like our inspector should have found *something* about the water damage or whatever.
In the end, buying a house from another state cost us a lot of money and everyone who finds out about it asks if we waived the inspection. I am just glad that the other side of our house had a separate HVAC. We would have had to live somewhere else for a *year*.
We just found mold about 3 weeks ago in our attic. Insurance won’t cover it of course because it’s a ventilation issue. The idiots who built our house covered every single air ventilation opening with insulation. The air is stagnant up there. Wish we could get the inspector if the house for this!
I think the quality of your videos comes from your character and personality, and how much of a beautiful soul you are. Its not about the editing, or the lighting or the angles. We stay for you, Mia ❤️
It’s not just your content that makes us happy. It’s you Mia! Your happiness and your wellbeing makes us happy. We’re here to support you no matter what content you make and even if it’s none at all. Your health matters far more than content for us. We can handle lower video quality for as long as you need us to. ❤

Mate, that is intense. You look after yourself and don’t even worry about videos and us. Health is waaaaay more important! Take care x
This video was not boring or sad. Going through hardships just makes you human like the rest of us. I hope you can get back home, symptom free, asap!
Yeah ❤
Couldn't be more grateful to have clicked on this video. When you started to describe your symptoms my ears perked up, especially the feeling of bruising behind the eye. I've been dealing with those feelings for months and thought I was just getting really bad migraines and wrote off the allergy issues to crazy Texas weather. Now I know how to bring it up to a doctor in a way that won't feel like just taking a shot in the dark. As someone with terrible anxiety around dealing with the healthcare system, thank you immensely for that.
did u mention it to a doctor?
You do not sound like you're complaining at all, thank you so much for sharing. The quality of your videos doesn't take precedent over your health and well being, ever. I experienced symptoms when my house was infested with mold too, and it's good that you're sharing this because many people never even considered that their allergies could be due to mold. I'm so glad that you found the problem, we all wish you the best in trying to clear out the house. Thank you for sharing what's going on we're glad to listen.
As a chronically ill person myself, I am glad to see you taking care of yourself. I am so sorry you are dealing with this and please don't apologize for a boring video. You have a lot of heavy stuff going on and we will be here through it all.
Mia we love you through ups and downs don’t ever feel like you always have to be on
THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST WEEK! I also have scalp psoriasis, all of a sudden it spread and my hands flared up so bad, my nose was leaking too, turns out there was mold in my bedroom! I’ve moved to another room without mold and it healed within 2 weeks! Thanks so much for sharing this! Please don’t feel bad because it actually feels so validating and it helps people become more aware of this 🙏🏼
I lived in a mold infested house for 4 years and caused me soo many health issues at such a young age, so this is amazing of you for sharing awareness ❤
You are not complaining at all. It isn't only your content that makes us happy, it is mainly you, Mia. You make us happy and everyone has ups and downs. That's normal and you shouldn't be afraid or worried to share this kinda stuff to us. We will always stand by and support you Mia. No matter what happens. You litteraly made my life so much brighter and I'm grateful I found your channel.💖💖💖💖

Mia , having an autoimmune disease is never easy wherever it may be. I would like to say that sharing this personal experience with your audience makes me , as one of your audience, feel trusted to handle. That you are safe with uts and safe to share it. As someone with health issues , I can say that it is ok to feel down some days and share your emotions
Oh bless you Mia. I also had mold toxicity in the first appt we rented in 2019 to 2021 when we were indoors more often. It was horrible. I had what felt like 'colds' every week, 'hayfever/dust' allergies, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, nightmares and within weeks of moving out of our rented flat it started getting slowly better. Having been ill so much those two years I'm so relieved to be feeling better. I hope you are getting better and better. You know we will watch whatever you put you. We love the quality of things you put up but the most wonderful thing about your videos is you. Your smile, your personality are what brings us joy. ❤️
Mia!! You’re not complaining! Mold is a big deal and so is your health! If you’re in the video it’s already QUALITYYY! Because we know the hardwork and care you put into every video! We are here for you ❤
I'm highly highly allergic to mold and when I was a kid, my parents basement flooded and I got really really sick, so I had to go live with my grandpa while it was being cleaned up. Everyone in my house was totally fine except me, so people definitely react differently to mold! I hope you know how much your followers love and care about you! We'd rather see you healthy than worry about videos while you get to a healthy place! ❤
I would check out Mikhaila Peterson, she talks a lot about autoimmune disorders. Maybe some of her ideas could help you!
Mia, the health is the most important thing in the world. We don't come here just to admire your surroundings, you as a person is the reason why we are here. Even if you film yourself in toilet with your phone, talking to us about totally nonsense we will be here because you always, even in the darkest time, can make us laugh and not think about our problems. Never ever think again that you need to apologize us for "worse quality", as far as you or your loved once will be on that video - we have nothing to complain on :) Hope you will get well soon, take care
Mia! This didn’t feel like complaining at all! I wish you weren’t experiencing this but I appreciate that you chose to explain so that we wouldn’t all be confused. The reason I enjoy watching your videos is that I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend (a really kind, intentional, funny, joyful friend) and that doesn’t change because this video wasn’t a fun topic-you’re still you, and I was just happy to “have another conversation” with you.
Please do not add stress to your life by worrying about video quality, I’ve been here for years! Followed you through so many journeys. This is another hurdle and no matter the quality, we will be here! If you need a break, we will be here when you get back. Take the time you need, and don’t add any more stress onto what you already have.❤
Don't worry about the quality of videos Mia. I would watch a video of you chatting with us while sitting on your bed. Sorry for everything you're going through. Thanks for making our lives a lot brighter.
From someone who works in a asbestos lab, I'm so glad you took the test and you feel better! It's no joke and scary to find that still when it's outside the timeframe you mentioned ❤️ we are here for you and never feel sorry for giving us an update. It's already sweet that you share so much off it and we hope your home will be safe soon. Take care 🤗
Hi! Chronic illness and disabled viewer here! So glad you were able to get answers and always put yourself and your health first, without it nothing else can function properly. Sending so much love and fast recovery (and reno) process vibes!
Mia, I have been struggling and miserable for the past 4 years with the same exact symptoms you have. I cannot afford all the testing, I went to the allergist multiple times and they said there was nothing they could do and it came out to so much that I just have up and accepted that I might just have to deal with this. This video helped me so much, you have absolutely no idea. Thank you thank you!!
You might want to look into MCAS. Best of luck getting answers!
Can you stay at at friend's house for a few days to see if your symptoms clear up?
That could be something you could for a start that wouldn't cost anything.
Good luck, i have health issues too (not mould related) and it can be disheartening. But keep your chin up! There's always happier days ahead to look forward to ☺🌞
She's very lucky to live in a place with universal healthcare, and to have a job where she has made a good living and has saved her money wisely. I think I have MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but I can't get anyone to diagnose me in Texas.
@@skyefirenails How frustrating! So far, nobody has ever says “I thought I had EDS and MCAS, but I was wrong.”. There are so many people with it, but so few docs. I could swear there are some docs in Texas, have you asked on the Facebook groups? They might have some names. You know that you can start treating yourself anyhow, with trigger reduction (obviously), reducing high histamine foods and trying daily over the counter H1 and H2 antihistamines (reactine or Claritin and pepsid). There aren’t as good as ketotifen and sodium chromoglygate, but they’re a place to start!
Mia, you are not boring. You are not complaining. You are still helping people through this info. No need to rent a studio when already paying to fix your house's mold and asbestos issues. I hope it can be fixed up to a point that you and Stewart can live there symptom free and safely. I enjoy your videos because of your personality, your essence, not just because you make great quality videos.
Your health is the most important! I'd watch a video of yours no matter where you film it, or what you film. As others have mentioned in the comments, updates like this, or bloopers from past videos are great, if you want to do those while your home is fixed. But also...if you have the ability and budget to take a break and not even put out videos (and that is what you think is best for you), I will watch when you are ready to film again. You don't owe us anything. You deserve to take care of you and your family. 😊
Mia I know this is your job but please don’t risk your health for video quality. Girl we’ve all been here for YEARS and as we do appreciate how much your put into your work we can ALL rough it for a few months without you or without high quality videos your content is still killer doesn’t matter if you’re in a studio or not we love you please take care of yourself Bella !!
We want you to be healthy, Mia!!!! You can film in a hole in the ground and we'd still watch it! Not only because your talented in everything you do, but because we all love you and support every phase of your life. Props to Stewart! In sickness and health!
Mould can be so so dangerous and I can't believe they found asbestos. Someone previously did the wrong thing when building the house. I am so glad your Doctor saw the correlation between your symptoms and the mould, just sorry it took so long :( Wishing you better days ahead and hopefully you can start to feel better. Sending love and hugs x
I'm glad you're getting some answers, I hope you feel better soon! Also, production quality isn't what makes your videos so special. It's you, your passion, and your joy! Take care of you first, and any content we get in the meantime is just a bonus!! Sending love and support your way.
As someone who has multiple chronic illnesses I appreciate you opening up about these deeply personal things and appreciate it. It reminds me that everyone goes through things and we are not alone in own times of hardship. Thank you ❤
My mum and I absolutely love you and your mum on your videos we have both been through so much over the last few years and your videos and energy give us so much joy in our little rural town in Lincolnshire, England. We love supporting your channel and we hope you feel better soon x
I’m glad your doctor suggested getting all those test done! Glad y’all found it as soon as possible! Here’s to getting your home back to a livable place!
You are NOT alone!!!! When my family and I moved into a new home in 2008, I endured the SAME exact thing. We had to have mold and asbestoses testing and SURE ENOUGH, there were both present. We had to live with my grandparents for two months and had to have brand new windows and doors put in after the mold and asbestoses removal which was a HUGE expense, but no more hay fever for me! I am so thankful that we went through the effort to look into this more because otherwise I would be miserable. I am still living in this same home now and I'm so, so glad I don't have to feel this way anymore. Sending all my love to you, I know how annoying this can all be. Love u so much and I'm so hopeful for you to find relief after all this is done!!
The quality of your videos won’t go down because you are the one who makes your videos special and exciting Mia! I promise you no one is going to mind darker lighting, less decor, different sound for a few months. We care about YOU and YOUR health more. ❤️
I remember always having allergic reactions around the house I grew up in. Once I went living on my own it went away and I never thought much of it. Last week I have been back a lot and sleeping in my old bedroom because I have to take care of my mom after her surgery and I swear, I was coughing and weezing ALL NIGHT. Suddenly I remembered about this video and everything started to fall into place. I noticed damp spots on the wall, my mom always has been asthmatic, even my dad who past away more than 10 years ago suddenly started having airway troubles in our house. Thanks to your video I am absolutely considering having a mold check because I don't want my moms health to decline due to this and I would love to spend more time there.
Long story short: thank you so much for posting this video! Even more than a year after posting you are still helping people out with this video! Lots of love ❤
Definitely get that checked out!
Mia- you created this community, and you’re right. It’s a super fun and positive space. Don’t feel bad for reaching out and sharing this with us. This community cares about you. We are here for the good and the bad.

This girl honestly has such a way with words and such a nice nature. Even when it’s supposed to be about her and her health she still makes it about her viewers and their needs. Mia your health is the most important thing! You really don’t have to find a new space to film in, I would watch your videos in any light, any surrounding, with terrible sounds quality, you name it! I admire the massive effort you put into your videos and the quality and editing, it does make all the difference and is worth it, but bottom line I watch for you and your personally, and special guest appearances from your fantastic family! 🫶🏼 x
Mia, one thing I have to say is, your battle is your battle even if somebody is going through "something worse".. whats bad for you is your worse that you're experiencing. I have crohns, diabetes, anaemia and psoriasis and even though there are people going through more, it's my battle and nobody can negate it or patronize it based on "their worse". Thank you for sharing with us. We see you, we support for you and we absolutely love you.
yes I've always said this too, I totally agree, and sharing our experiences make others feel less alone too, sending love to you Xx
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR RUclips STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Thanks for the up date. Hopefully the House can be fixed and your health is restored as far as possible.
@@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN go away, creep. What you' re spouting has nothing to do with love, Christian behaviour or real life.
I wish you the best health! May your battle be alot easier!
Mia, I’m new to your channel (probably watching it couple of months), so I’ve just seen this video.
I think you are sweet and adorable and very funny and that is why people love watching you. Not entirely for your content, but for you. So there should be no fear of sharing some of not so funny parts of your life.
I hope you since have sold your problem and it doesn’t bother you anymore. Be healthy and happy ❤
Mia your health is so much more important than “video quality”. Your followers love you no matter what, and love any content you put out. We support you completely! This video also helps me out a lot. I recently moved out of my dad’s house into my own home. While living with my dad, I also lived in the (very leaky) basement, & I discovered a lot of mold down there. For a while, I got horrible eczema all over my face, neck and hands. My eyes were almost swollen shut, they hurt, I had the worst migraines every other day. It was awful. Since moving out, these things have improved significantly and now I really believe it was the mold causing these issues. You are not alone!!! These things stink but you will push through! Your health & safety is our main concern!
We don't follow you just for the cute videos. This was a high quality video and educational on top. We also need this content. People might go through a similar situation and spreading awareness is useful
Oh Mia, please don't feel bad about uploading potentially sad content. I struggle with chronic autoimmune illnesses and I'm sure for many of us ✨unhealthy girlies✨ this makes us feel so seen, less alone. Thank you for being so open and honest about something so personal ❤️
I'm unhealthy girly fam. I totally get it too. Life sometimes throws big challenges your way and chronic illness people know that better than most. I'm just glad she knows why she has been suffering so much with her psoriasis and 'allergies'.
I told my fiancé, I never had allergies until I moved into his house. Pretty sure this is why now!
I feel for you, and I hope you can get your house into a state that’s happy and healthy for you 😊
Oh Mia!!!
I understand the mold toxicity, my parents bought a home with high mold in the bathroom and kitchen. I was sick constantly!!! My “allergies” were terrible. They found it when they remodeled and it was all removed and I got better. Sending prayers and love hun. Stay safe!!!
Oh wow I'm sorry!
Omg I swear that's what I'm going through right now. Military housing in the US is terrible, and I'm like 99% positive that's what's causing it.
@@isabellariehle816 you can buy mold testing kits if you have an idea where it might be. Then you have proof to show that might help.
This is so informative. Also, every single person that has watched you for an extended amount of time has just solved the "why Mia suddenly got allergies" mystery. I'm here for it.
😅😊😊😊😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Awe hun, it's totally okay to admit you are facing some real challenges in life. We all do. This one sounds like a major stressor too. I know I would be stressed about that. Really hoping they are able to completely remedy the situation and you can get your home back to feeling like home.
Mia, you are human. We understand. You are not harping or complaining. You are sharing with us what is going on in your life. I have an autoimmune disease too and I know it makes you susceptible to other health issues. You've been through so much! I'm praying they are able to make your home a healthy place for you. I'm praying your psoriasis gets better. 🙏 You are such a wonderful human being with a beautiful soul! Thanks for sharing this with us.❤
Not only is there value in telling your community about mold, and how it can directly affect us (which like, yeah I know someone who went thru what you're going through :/) i think its VERY important to share the business decisions you are making. Youve always been realistic and transparent with those business decisions and at this point I see it as a part of your brand. Your channel is polished and professional and you also are not scared to treat yourself like a real person on camera. There are quite a few creators on youtube that dont have that skill or may not be interested in incorporating that level of transparency into their brand/video style. But for you it works and I think your core audience respects it quite a bit
Health is priority over video quality! Your perfectionism is admirable. This happened to me and my husband and son at 6 months old. The brain fog we experienced was TERRIBLE. I’m so glad you’re on your way to feeling better! Much love Mia!!!!
Girl!! I can't believe you went back to a house full of mold and asbestos to film videos! Your health is of the utmost importance!! We couldn't care less if you filmed videos on your phone with a flashlight in the garage. We just love seeing your videos, no matter the quality.
And you don't always have to be rainbows and butterflies. If you're comfortable talking about your life & your health, we'd love to hear it. If a small percentage of people aren't interested, they can skip it.
You are important and you matter! Not just your content ♥️
You take care of you!! We will all still be here when you get back. You don't have to film for us to still support you. We can watch reruns!
Mia I empathize with you more than you could know. I’ve had psoriasis since I was 12 and have gone through all the treatments. Mine covers my whole body except my face. I am also in Canada and have a fantastic dermatologist who has now has me 95% clear for the past 3 years! No steroids for me anymore because previous doctors overprescribed them so bad that it caused me to get Cushings Syndrome. Awful! I’ve had this for 29 years and have literally tried everything. Everything you eat, touch and breath affects this disease. I hope this remediation in your home lessens your symptoms.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this and as someone with multiple life threatening allergies I'm glad you're taking this seriously and taking care if yourself. We'll happily watch videos from wherever its safe to film and hopefully everything with the remediation goes well and smoothly. Sending best wishes for you to continue feeling better as you get to breathe safer air.
miaaaa omg don't waste your money renting a room to make your videos!! please feel free to record in your parents house! we would watch your videos even if u recorded in a bathroom!! we don't care about the quality as long as you are okay and safe!!! please don't spend money for us!!❤️🫶🏻we love you and appreciate you mia!!
PD: don't get me wrong, we appreciate so so much your quality video! but we wouldn't mind if the quality goes down a little bit cause it's not your fault and you shouldn't spend more money❤
Mia, I'm very grateful for this update! Not just because of hearing about you but because of the awareness this can bring. I work as an environmental scientist in the federal government, doing some housing-related stuff. Mostly, I do stuff related to lead-based paint. I don't know the Canadian laws about lead-based paint (so idk if your house is old enough to have that issue), but we also do a ton of outreach about lead exposures that come from renovation and repair. Lots of places have their lead-paint and asbestos programs tied together. But broadly speaking, I also work with lots of people who work on healthy housing related projects. This includes indoor air quality, mold, radon, etc. We do a lot of outreach and educational things related to trying to help people learn about these risks! I can't say I have any expertise in asbestos or mold specifically, just that I do a lot of outreach work regarding healthy housing in general.
I'm truly sorry that you have to deal with this, it's devastating and so stressful. I hope all the remdiation and abatement activites in your home are successful. But please also realize how valuable and helpful that talking about this is too, because the things you mention here might help someone else watching realize they have an issue. I do a lot of outreach, but I don't necessarily reach the 131k people that, as of my writing this, have viewed this video. Of course, when you're dealing with something this stressful, that might not sound like much of a comfort, and you might not want to share these personal things. But I do genuinely think that by talking about this, you've raised some awareness and might help a few people. Take care of yourself, and your family
I've been doing bits of pieces in my flat but haven't sanded the walls because I'm worried the paint is lead-based. Is there a test you can do that will give you a reliable result whether or not there is lead? I've seen tests on amazon but reviews always say they're too unreliable to count on. Thanks for the info
@@itscherryamber I'm glad you're looking into this before sanding the walls! That's something that can release lots of lead dust if lead-based paint is present, and lead dust can be inhaled. Unfortunately, I can only answer this from an American perspective, so if you live in another country things might differ a little (you call it a "flat" so I'm not sure.) Firstly, is your home built before 1978? If it is newer, then you likely do not have to worry, since lead-based paint was banned for use in residential spaces at that time (in the US.) If it is older, we normally recommend just assuming it is present since it's easier to be safe than sorry. Again, if you are in another country, I would look up what the laws are in your area, since it's possible it was banned earlier/later than that.
The EPA recognizes the 3M LeadCheck test and the D-Lead test. Unfortunately, I have also very recently heard about the 3M test being somewhat unreliable and the D-Lead test apparently smells TERRIBLE, so make of that what you will. I wish I knew of other ones but I don't. This is one reason why my team generally just recommends to act as if there is lead present if it's an old house.
The EPA also has some guidelines for DIYers on their website for how to conduct renovations when you think there might be lead present. This will work no matter what country you're in, and I recommend it as a resource! Broadly speaking though the recommendations are things like putting plastic sheeting on flooring to protect it, removing furniture and other items from the room, making sure people don't enter the work area (especially children), wearing PPE (especially to prevent you from inhaling anything), proper cleaning after, how to dispose of waste, and using wet method to reduce dust. For sanding walls, you could use wet-dry sandpaper or a sanding sponge. If it's wet it will not kick up dust, and that's the main worry in doing activities like that.
Finally, as long as it is well-mainained, lead-based paint is not dangerous. You do not have to do an entire abatement to remove it (that's super expensive!) Once you finish your wall sanding or other renovation activities, you can just paint over it with new paint and be fine. Just be mindful that it stays in good condition and doesnt start peeling or crumbling--that's when it's a problem.
Good luck with your work! And good job looking into the risks, too.
@@piperalyssa Oh my gosh, thank you soooo much for all of the information. I appreciate it! I am in the the UK and I know it was banned in the 90s so I'm concerned about it because my flat was built in the 70s! And then I was wondering would it be in all the paint, like the doors etc, or just the wall paint. I will look into the EPAs reccomendations. I haven't heard of wet dry sandpaper actually, so I will also look into this!
You're an angel, thanks for the well-thought out response
So glad you found the problem. Been allergic to mould all my life. Brain fog, chest pain, itchy skin, eyes running, so much. SO glad you found it and that you have the means to remediate it. Some folks have to stay where they are and hope that the owner fixes the problem. Don't worry about your videos. They are great.
Uhhhhh… you don’t need a studio. You are enough! Thank you for the update. That’s crazy! I had no idea mold could be that life altering. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all of this!
This video meant so much to me! Yesterday I found black mold on the walls and floor of my apartment bedroom (literally right where I sleep). The apartment mishandled a leak and both my husband and I had been having horrible symptoms that we couldn't figure out for months. We are now relocating everything we own to another unit and it's been sad. Thank you for sharing, it's made both of us feel not as alone in all this. I hope you feel better & am proud of you for making the hard choices for your health!
your health is way more important than the quality of your videos!! your community loves you for you and will support you no matter what.
my boss is also highly sensitive to mold and lost everything she and her family owned to black mold quite a few years ago now. it’s no joke. I truly pray you guys will be able to get your house mold free and recover as much as possible!
You say you always wish you can deliver happiness to people, well today I needed strength - and today you delivered that to me. ❤
Oh my goodness Mia I’m so glad you were able to figure out it was mold and asbestos. I was thinking the worst and was prepared for a good cry. We love and support you so much, thank you for sharing what’s going on 🥹💗💗
Mia, don't ever feel like your struggles are less important than someone else's. You matter, and so does your health. While being positive all the time can brighten someone's day, I find when people are real about their struggles and are relateable that I find strength in those kinds of videos too. It shows me that I'm not alone, and that things aren't always perfect for the person behind the camera either.
It’s okay mia 🥰 We are with you during the highs and lows ❤
It isn't boring. Never. And Mia. Your health is more important than a good video quality.
Take the time you'll need. It doesn't mind how long it would take. We all want a healthier Mia.
I don't comment on videos much, but I'm one of those viewers who watches because of how joyful you and your videos are and how often they make me feel better. Seeing updates like this doesn't make me feel sad or drop my mood at all, other than making me feel empathetic for what you're going through. I think you sharing your struggles helps me face mine too. You are someone who I look up to and who mostly has a positive demeanor no matter the situation, and that for me is comforting to know that you face struggles too and are strong enough to overcome them. It helps remind me that I am the same way. Also, you are human! You're not a character on the screen to us, and hearing about the entirety of your life - the good, the bad (whatever you want to share) - makes you feel more human and I think is what makes a lot of us feel connected to you even as viewers. I don't know if I'm phrasing it well, but never be afraid to share what's going on in your life (as long as you want to of course).
Also like many others have already said, I watch your videos for you not for their quality. Although I think the quality of your videos are amazing and the effort you put in is definitely noticed and appreciated, I would watch no matter where/how you film. Your health is way more important and I'm wishing you all the best!! You will always have my support 💗💗
Well said!! 👏
Mould and asbestos are no joke. I’m so glad you’ve found out now. Do not worry about video quality, only film if you feel like it. You could film in a shoe box and we’d all love to see it. Love you Mia
This is true. You can get lung problems, nasal fungal infections, skin problems, etc... aside from allergies.
Mia 🥺 you are such a considerate and kind soul and you’re always thinking about us even when it comes to your own health! Just know that we are all rooting for you whether you’re filming high quality videos in your studio or just simply on your webcam in a poorly lit room. Thank you for updating us and opening up about what you’ve been dealing with. no matter what content you put out, we all gain something out of it ❤ take care
You’re opening up the realities of homeownership including the difficulties behind it, no shame in sharing that! I worked in restoration for a while and you see/learn a lot of things when it comes to the Ontario building requirements. It’s so important to know about certain things and this one of the ways people will know!
Mia, the quality of your videos isn't the setting - it's simply you. On your bad days and good, the authentic Mia is where the quality lies! Film in the bathroom or on a swing, we do not care
Mold toxicity is a big deal!! We are all praying for you Mia!
As someone who had to move out of their childhood house because of severe black mold issues this is very relatable. Mia I hope that you can clear up the issues and won't have to move❤
Your health is the most important thing to us Mia! You do not sound like you’re complaining at all you’re just informing us on things that pertain to you which we all appreciate so so much, you & I are the same age and I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time, I feel as though I grew up with you & I feel terrible that you were still putting yourself in harms way to deliver content for us! Please take your time to gather your health back!
I'm so glad you guys were able to find the issue, and crossing my fingers for you that the remediation goes well!
I'm also sensitive to mold, but I only get itchy around my thighs, so it's a lot more bearable. At this point I use my itchiness like a mold detector 😂
Your thighs get itchy because of mold?? My legs get itchy and I can't figure out what I'm allergic to that's causing it. Fascinating.....
Your health matters more than the quality of a video. I don't find anything wrong with this one. We are here for the ride with you and Stewart. You are the sweetest people, take care of yourselves. This was like tea with a friend. Thank-you for sharing
B
I. I
Fingers crossed that in a month or so you're back in your house with NO issues! What an incredibly well-summarized version of what must be one of the most frustrating journeys ever. I'm glad you trusted your gut and checked for asbestos, too. Wow. All the best vibes to you Mia!
mia just seeing your face makes my day, please do not be sorry for this type of content! I
