I love how, when talking about his upbringing he said, “not only a religious family, but conservative and closed minded” because they don’t always go hand in hand. You can be religious and still open minded and excepting of everybody.
@@Rebecca19x I 100% agree, I should have added religious and/or conservative before the open minded and excepting. I have friends and family who are lovely and supportive people who are religious or conservative or both!
When Kendall was discussing how to be the best parent she can to her daughter and creating a safe space for her to be herself fully made me cry. The unconditional love for her daughter is so apparent. So many people would have been so lucky to have love like that growing up.
I'm not very far into the episode but I just want to say as someone who's LGBTQ+ and grew up similarly to Hyram I REALLY appreciate y'all bringing him on the show. I'm no contact with my family now & it's so difficult to feel alone when trying to live life as your authentic self.
Thank you so much for visiting us Seshies, Hyram!! We welcome you with open arms!! You are so well spoken and deliberate with your words. It's so nice to listen to!! I'm SO glad that you are so internally aware after your life experiences. You seem like such a sweet and genuine person and you deserve all of your success and victories!! 🥰
Also, as a momma of 2 boys. You deserve all the love in the world no matter what!!! I'm so happy you have a supportive and loving chosen family. 🥰 **mama hugs**
Me when I read the title: Yay, we're talking about Hyram! Me when I opened the video: Yay, we're talking WITH Hyram!?! Love you all! 😍 Also, thank you K & J for being open about your interest in botox! I'm around the same age as Janelle, and I think it's something a lot of us start to seriously consider in this age range. I definitely agree with you guys - do whatever the fock you want! Live your best life. ❤️🔥
When he said his parents disowned him, it was like a punch to the gut for me. My dad disowned me when I was 16 for getting pregnant with my daughter, she’s biracial and we didn’t speak for a few years. Fast forward..lots of support from my husband and mom and my therapist..I was able to let go and be free. But it’s the ultimate betrayal. It can’t ever be fully healed.
Casey, I am so sorry that your father chose to disown you in that manner, it is WRONG! I have watched my ex treat our daughters like this because their lives are not "conventional," ( according to he and his wives, controlling and narrow, self-serving set of quick-sand fast justifications.) I don't know if you were able to keep and raise your beautiful baby girl with those circumstances. Just know that you honored her and were a true loving mother to her to allow her to grow her under your heart, and to give her life. I am so thankful that you have your husband, your Mom, and your therapist to provide you with the love and support that you need. Thank-you for reaching out and allowing us to know about your personal narrative. I could not conceive of disowning any of my children, even when they may lash out and hurt me because of things that they are going through with the behavior of someone else in their lives.
@@bonnylouwho76 I truly appreciate your kind words 🥹 I have 3 children now I could never ever imagine hurting them in that way. It’s a deep cut and it takes YEARS to grieve and work through. I’ve finally come to realize that it wasn’t my responsibility to make him be a parent..I was and still am his child, he failed..not me. My daughter is going to be 17 this year, the same age I was when I had her and she blows my mind everyday and I’m so so grateful to watch her thrive in ways I never did. My other two are still small, 5 and 3. Watching all of them grow up has been such a huge blessing for me because I know I’m giving them the life I didn’t have 🥹 I truly, truly hope your daughters and yourself can overcome what your ex is doing. It’s so unfair. I hope your daughters can live a full and happy life and understand that it isn’t their faults. Some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives. As heartbreaking as it is, one day he will regret not being there and treating them the way he is 🥺 y’all don’t deserve any of it. Karma will do it’s job 🖤
Kendall, I'm the person living under a rock apparently 🙈 This is my first time meeting Hyram and he is wonderful. As a Christian and a mama it broke my heart to hear how his mother disowned him. I could never disown one of my kids because of their sexuality. But he is seems like a genuine, kind, sweet, and amazing person through it all. I will be following your channel, Hyram 😀
Thank You for being real about Rihanna’s performance. Saying a performance could have had more doesn’t make you less of if a fan. I’ve seen so many saying it was the greatest thing ever, cmon get real. She’s still beautiful, talented and awesome.
I think they’ve cut the halftime show budget, which is insane, because most people tune in for that, and the commercials, even if their team isn’t playing. You’re right…it was what it was, but those platforms tho! 😬Dayum!
I think the Rihanna concert was amazing she kept it simple and didn't need all the extra props and outfit changes. I think that's what made it amazing!! She did that. Where can anyone do that honestly. Loved it. She kept it to only herself. I think it was like a 8 or 9 honestly.
Honestly, Rih could show up wearing a homemade frumpy 70s-style nightgown with long sleeves and kill it. Her presence is everything. I hope she felt her power up there. We love HER. 👑😍
Agreed. There's something about the fact that her performance is still epic without all that extra stuff. AND while pregnant. AND after a hiatus. She's that real b*tch.
I had never heard of Hyram and I am so glad you had him on. he's such a warm soul and I learned so much. I don't do anything for my skin and I need to take care of it. He makes me want to learn about it because he comes from such a genuine place.
My 16 year old daughter came out to me about a year ago. Nothing in our relationship has changed. I just love her so much and I cannot imagine disowning any of my children for ANYTHING let alone being gay. Absolutely shameful. Hugs to Hyram. ❤️
Mormonism has sooooo many problems. I’m so thankful that you get opportunities to have people on your show who can share their experiences and spread awareness on the harms of the church and their doctrine
Hyram is such a well-spoken individual! I’ve only watched his videos here and there, but after this episode I’m now a huge fan! His energy radiates through the screen, and I can tell how well rounded of a person he is
1:01:53 To add. Have a safety plan. If you feel like your safety is at risk and you still want to come out, have someone you can go to. Do not come out when you cannot leave the situation. Have a friend if possible on standby where their parents or partner etc will welcome you with open arms and help keep you safe from "those people". Also if you feel your safety is in jeopardy with your family/community remember these people don't deserve to know you, your business or your heart. Your true authentic self is a gift to the people who love you and shouldn't ever be giving it to anyone who doesn't worship the ground you walk on. I'm a big believer in that you shouldn't have to come out as who you love is your business however that isn't the world we live in. Please be safe and as I said be strategic with your moment. Plan for worst and best case and always put yourself above them. You are the most important person on this planet. You.
@@TheSeshPodcast thank you. My nephew recently came out and he had the most amazing time because everyone around him is accepting aswell as minorities. But as a hairdresser I have so many clients who's stories aren't amazing and it's my biggest advice to anyone in ANY situation where you may have to put yourself in danger.
OMG I can relate to the “cult” trauma. I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness and left when I was 16, and like Hyram, my personality I grew into and my self identity didn’t align with it and I realized I wasn’t so happy. It’s crazy how similar a lot of these organized religions are the the mark they leave on people. It was great to hear your story!!
I have never heard of Hyram before but WOW! I haven’t enjoyed a podcast guest as much as I enjoyed listening to Hyram in a long time! I commend his intelligence and his ability to elaborate difficult discussions with such maturity and wisdom. What a lovely person. Xoxo
If I was your mother I would have given you a bug hug and tell you I love and I am proud of you! I love how you said you found your family because we all need love! The real meaning of life is love ❤
I was so moved by his talk about how he was brought up. I was brought up similarly but not mormon, Christian, mainly baptist i suppose. For me it was hard to deconstruct from my religious beliefs and dealing with my family being hurt and distancing themselves but they never disowned me…I can’t imagine what that would feel like. I know what it feels to be lonely and not to have a support system anymore but they were still there ultimately there, and they told me they loved me and we still talked monthly if not weekly. Everything you said moved me to tears… I love you! I have four children and hope they feel comfortable with anything enough To be open about it and that they feel supported in their choices. I do not go out of my way buying toys that are purposefully “girl” things or my son “boy” things but I do listen and pay attention to what they enjoy and that’s all I can do. I also am so open. They know I support the LGBTQIA’s community and so right there, they know they’re safe. Thank you for sharing, it is being vulnerable even if it gets easier over time, it’s so honorable ❤
omg I have not watched this yet but I am so happy you guys did an episode on someone leaving mormonism being an ex mormon myself!!!!! I watch a lot of ex mormon podcasts too!!!! I can't wait to watch this!!!! Thank you so much love you girls!!!
I grew up in a small town in AZ that was predominately Mormon. I am not at all myself and I felt the judgement big time for me and my family. I had great friends, but their parents wouldn't let them spend the night at my house, ect like my friends that weren't Mormon. I saw a friend disowned by their family as well. I'm so proud of Hyram and being able to push through and be his authentic and bad ass self! I love his message and goal to help people feel better about themselves and take good care of our skin. 💚
My skin care/true crime/mile higher worlds have collided! 😍😍 So happy that Hyram is your first guest and you had him on to talk about such important topics. 💕
I absolutely love this episode. Hyram is an absolute sweet heart. I must back been living under a rock because I didn’t have him on the tok. I’m going to check out his skin care now! He’s doing the lords work helping us fix our skin from the dreaded st Ives scrub we all used back in the day hahaha.
💜💜💜 Hyram I’m officially adopting you! Lol I’m a mama bear and an old lady lol you are now my child. I’m so sorry your birth people disowned you. It’s awful and hurts my heart for you. A real parent loves their children unconditionally period. Love is love and especially love of your child. My son was born with girl parts and now identifies as a man and I love him even more for the strength and the person he is. I knew before he came out to me but didn’t push him. I know it’s on his terms and when he was ready. You Hyram are an amazing human being and with all you’ve dealt with, to be positive and smiling is so beautiful to see. This mama bear not only accepts you but loves you. 💜💜💜💜💜 I wish you so much joy and love and prosperity.
What a great guest! I’ve never heard of him but I grew up in a small town very close to Prescott in Arizona so I really loved listening to his story and perspective. I bet we even have mutual friends and now I’m so curious to check out his channel!!
Didn’t know who Hyram was before this video but absolutely love his vibe and could use some tips on skin care. I will be following and subscribing Now! 😊
hearing hyram speak about his upbringing was so uplifting. I was also raised in a very conservative and close-minded place. It is so amazing to see how positive he is despite what he has been through. it made me want to be more optimistic.
This whole episode was ELECTRIC! Everyone's aura was lit up. The room was a vibe, convo flowing, such positive vibes. The inclusivity and love emanating off my screen was enough to charge my crystals 😆 I'm a fellow LEO like Janelle--& I melted when Hyrem said he likes us! 🤗Literally no ONE ever says that 🥺...why do we always make the bottom of all the lists?!? I didn't know Syd was a Taurus like Kendall? I thought Cap or Virgo, definitely gives Earth tho. Taurus = Empress = Good Mama Energy. Solid. And I knew Karelly was a Sag (🔥Fam) Gosh I've never heard of Hyrem until now (I guess I was under a rock) Thank u so much for bringing him on. I too am overwhelmed with the sheer number of brands and different types of ingredients out there that every time I try to put together a solid skincare regimen it's so overwhelming! I just go back to my Aveeno and end up putting it off. Thank you for finding him for me guys....i'm going to check out his skincare line and use his products to simply and avoid the headache. I'll still stick with my PC mattifying primer though (she's my old faithful), but Hyrem, you have a new fan/follower - PLS come on again...the whole conversation from start to finish was bomb. Love you guys! ❤
Unpopular opinion about Rihanna's show: Loved it! 10/10! I grew up dancing and have been teaching for 20 years and I think it was meant to be about the overall visual effect not about individual aspects like costume, props, or even identity. If you can find a version of it that is just from a far like it would have looked live the visual aspect of the white vs Queen Rih in red its amazing! Edit to say: I grew up LDS and in a very small town in AZ. Fast forward to my parents getting divorced after 30 years and my Mom left the church. Now my Dad is remarried and one of my step brothers is gay. I have a child and have never been married. 3 of us aren't in the church and I chose to not have my son associated with church records at all. Our family is so much more open minded and supportive now. Our core family value is LOVE and even though most of my family is still active LDS we have all grown together through our hard times and its amazing to see what a difference focusing on love has had. The grandkids are growing up with open conversations and learning to not be judgemental and its such a different upbringing than me and my siblings had.
Absolutely love this episode! Since this is an episode focused around skincare and healthy skin I wanted to leave my personal recommendation for skin care makeup, I’ve been a professional makeup artist for 7 years and I don’t use anything on clients that aren’t 100% clean beauty! A lot of people don’t know much about the mineral skincare makeup world but once you try it omg it’s life changing! The reason I’m recommending this to you guys is because I know you all like to wear some makeup so I think you’ll really like to try this out:). The line is Jane Iredale and it’s fully transparent on ingredients being minerals and fully natural and lots of their foundations have a built in mineral SPF’s which is a game changer. This line isn’t trending because it is only carried in medi spas and dermatologist offices but the best thing is it’s comparable in price to Sephora lines but it’s skincare built in the makeup. Most places that carry this line will book free consultations to shade match and pick the right products for you! The PurePressed base foundation is a powder spf full coverage foundation that isn’t dry and I’m not kidding it’s incredible! Love you guys🥰
I bought yalls pro choice shirt and even bought an extra for my roommate too 🩷 I love yall so much and everything you stand for. Keep up the AMAZING work mile high crew 🫶🏻
Just to chime in I have to recommend my top 2 favorite masks. #1 the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme mask. BEST exfoliating mask. If your skin is feeling rough, congested, this mask will leave it feeling so smooth and clean. I can't recommend it enough! And my second rec is the Ole Henriksen PHAT mask. Also an incredible exfoliating mask. The next day after using it I can really feel and see the difference in the texture and clarity of my skin. The Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge is a great mud mask too!
This episode was so great I really loved listening to Hyrams story it’s really beautiful to see people be their authentic selves despite everything and I’m omw to check his socials for skin care tips now. I look forward to the sesh every week ❤
I didn't know who Hyram was before this podcast, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Hearing him talk about his experience with coming out to his family and spirituality, etc, has come at the perfect time for what I'm going through right now. ❤️
Perfect timing! Just as I start work so I don’t have to try find an episode I haven’t watched yet😂. Love this podcast❤️. Also shoutout from Northern Ireland😋
Hyram, Dr. Dray, and Cassandra Bankson are my fave skincare people!!!! I’m so happy to see Hyram so successful!!!! Also, SkinFX and Great Barrier Relief are my two wintertime faves for anyone with dry, irritable skin!!
I’m a mother of 4. I support them fully no matter what. I feel that anyone who has a child should love and support them with who they are. No matter what! There are few things that my children could do that I would disown them.
I watched a video he posted a bit ago and he said he was in Colorado and I was thinking to myself it would be cool if he was a gust on the Sesh. Yaaaaay!
My hubby is a Leo and I swear. It takes a special person to appreciate a Leo. He is SO FREAKING SARCASTIC that even his own DAD has given me the "are you okay?" Look after something Mike has said 🤣🤣 I'm ALWAYS defending him, like... "Bro. He's joking. I promise. There's not one mean bone in his body. He literally loves me. But his pet name for me is also Cee U Next Tuesday. It's all good, I promise!" 🤣🤣🤣
i've never heard of hyram (HOW IDK?!) and now he's got a new supporter!! what a genuine gem 🥺💖 thank you for always making great, positive waves in the online community 🥰💖
I love Mile Higher and Kendall’s channel I didn’t realize you had a podcast with Janelle!! I’m hype to be a new subscriber. Love y’all! ❤❤ I also wanted Rihanna to sing needed me too!! I thought she was gonna finish with Love on the brain.
As someone who has been out for several months and still practices religion. It's so difficult to not having a support system that you can go to is frustrating. But I still have some people in my life who have accepted me. I feel like people who are homophobic are close-minded and truly don't know and have taught the norm that straight is the right to live your life. So if anyone reading this comment, it's easier said then done but you are enough and loved and there are so many people out there who aren't family that will show that unconditional love and support. I really appreciated this video and Hyram for being so open about this topic because this can be an eye opener for some people who have a hard time. 💜
39:33 been getting preventative Botox since 21 now I'm nearly 31 and people always comment on how amazing my skin is and that they can't believe my age. Botox is life and also if you have bad TMJ like me it's also a life saver 👏🏼
@@Meidosama I'm in the Uk so we don't have that issue however it's done in a case by case basis. My best friend does my Botox so she does my Masseter Botox at the same time.
Hi ! I wanted to share my experience with the oatmeal thing. My daughter has atopic skin and a lot of moms told me to put oats in a cloth, let it soak in the bathtub and bathe her in this oat milk water. It changed our lives honestly 😊
I feel like if you show your child a proper way to receive and show love and show her life experiences, that’s what makes someone a good person. It’s so complex, and the time to learn and grow will never end but the foundational ways that people know how to treat others is what truly is important.
My heart breaks for him. Every Christian I’ve talked to would disagree with their children being gay but they would still be their children. I’ll never understand how you could put a passage before your living breathing kin. You’re awesome Hyram, it’s so cool having you on the sesh ❤
I’ve been on accutane twice for my cystic acne. & wow it’s crazy how much better i feel about myself with better skin. but the craziest part is how much nicer people are to me without acne? so i’m glad Hyram wants to shift the convo about skin care.
I’m not on tiktok and I had never heard of Hyram before but I’m so glad y’all brought him in!! I would love to know what he thinks about lush. I love their skincare products but I’ve definitely come across criticism that lush is a gimmick-y brand
Hyrum, I am sad to know that you felt so disenfranchised with regards to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." I have lived in Arizona, I have close family that live there as well. My very best male friends growing up were LGBTQ ( when noone ever talked about it.) I figured out when I was really little that my friends had been hurt very badly by someone ( I had as well) which meant I was that much more determined to be protective and loving with them as well. They were always respectful and protective of me as well.We all loved one another, our friend Doug died from AIDS during the early 80's and I have always missed him, I still do. My daughters have said to me, " Mom, we were so thankful that you were always so accepting and caring for everyone, because it helped us, when we came to realize what our identity is." I was just being myself, trying to be open to seeking to love people for their own hearts because I feel that it all starts with our hearts and souls.
Imagine raising your child, being with them every day at every major milestone of their life, from teaching them about life to bringing them to school, making them dinner, kissing them good night, making beautiful memories with them - only to disown them because of their sexual orientation. I simply cannot understand. If I have a child, they will be a PART OF ME. They are a core aspect of your life from the moment they are born. How could you just let them go like that? I could never, ever... Poor Hyram. I feel deeply saddened on his behalf. Your parents are supposed to be the people who will love you unconditionally that you can always rely on for support. It's awful that he had to experience them being so selfish and inconsiderate of their own child's feelings. I am glad he came out of the situation as such a warm, kind, and generous person.
I have never heard of Hyram, but he is a total sweetheart. I am sorry to all that can't be themselves and when they do let down their guard, they're disowned by their family. It really breaks my heart that family could turn away their own flesh and blood because their children want to be themselves. I think it comes down to ignorance. I don't say that to be mean, but people will always want people to conform to their beliefs because they honestly and truly believe that that is the best for themselves and others. But how can they in the same breath, turn away their loved ones while totally contradicting their own beliefs? I don't think people should have to agree with anything they don't want to, in having said that, just because you don't agree with someone's life choices doesn't mean you can't love and respect them. I think people lose sight of that. And that's a damn shame.
I love how, when talking about his upbringing he said, “not only a religious family, but conservative and closed minded” because they don’t always go hand in hand. You can be religious and still open minded and excepting of everybody.
Absolutely!
Thank-you Courtney, your statements echo my own beliefs and feelings.
You can also be conservative and be open-minded too, just FYI!
@@Rebecca19x I 100% agree, I should have added religious and/or conservative before the open minded and excepting. I have friends and family who are lovely and supportive people who are religious or conservative or both!

My heart hurts when he talks about how his parents disown him.. so close minded.. their loss.
Sad they haven’t gotten to enjoy all his success with him :(

To add. Have a safety plan. If you feel like your safety is at risk and you still want to come out, have someone you can go to. Do not come out when you cannot leave the situation. Have a friend if possible on standby where their parents or partner etc will welcome you with open arms and help keep you safe from "those people". Also if you feel your safety is in jeopardy with your family/community remember these people don't deserve to know you, your business or your heart. Your true authentic self is a gift to the people who love you and shouldn't ever be giving it to anyone who doesn't worship the ground you walk on.
I'm a big believer in that you shouldn't have to come out as who you love is your business however that isn't the world we live in. Please be safe and as I said be strategic with your moment. Plan for worst and best case and always put yourself above them. You are the most important person on this planet. You.
Great advice!

It’s crazy how similar a lot of these organized religions are the the mark they leave on people. It was great to hear your story!!
Followed so fast!!! Hyram! Thank you for being here for this episode!! I wish all the best to you :)
I have never heard of Hyram before but WOW! I haven’t enjoyed a podcast guest as much as I enjoyed listening to Hyram in a long time! I commend his intelligence and his ability to elaborate difficult discussions with such maturity and wisdom. What a lovely person. Xoxo
If I was your mother I would have given you a bug hug and tell you I love and I am proud of you! I love how you said you found your family because we all need love! The real meaning of life is love ❤
I was so moved by his talk about how he was brought up. I was brought up similarly but not mormon, Christian, mainly baptist i suppose.
For me it was hard to deconstruct from my religious beliefs and dealing with my family being hurt and distancing themselves but they never disowned me…I can’t imagine what that would feel like. I know what it feels to be lonely and not to have a support system anymore but they were still there ultimately there, and they told me they loved me and we still talked monthly if not weekly.
Everything you said moved me to tears…
I love you! I have four children and hope they feel comfortable with anything enough
To be open about it and that they feel supported in their choices. I do not go out of my way buying toys that are purposefully “girl” things or my son “boy” things but I do listen and pay attention to what they enjoy and that’s all I can do. I also am so open. They know I support the LGBTQIA’s community and so right there, they know they’re safe.
Thank you for sharing, it is being vulnerable even if it gets easier over time, it’s so honorable ❤
Love Hyram!
Love The Sesh!
Love Thursday’s ❤
Janelle was fangirling HARD the whole time and it was absolutely adorable seeing her leo self be kinda shy in his presence 😂❤️
omg I have not watched this yet but I am so happy you guys did an episode on someone leaving mormonism being an ex mormon myself!!!!! I watch a lot of ex mormon podcasts too!!!! I can't wait to watch this!!!! Thank you so much love you girls!!!
I grew up in a small town in AZ that was predominately Mormon. I am not at all myself and I felt the judgement big time for me and my family. I had great friends, but their parents wouldn't let them spend the night at my house, ect like my friends that weren't Mormon. I saw a friend disowned by their family as well. I'm so proud of Hyram and being able to push through and be his authentic and bad ass self! I love his message and goal to help people feel better about themselves and take good care of our skin. 💚
My skin care/true crime/mile higher worlds have collided! 😍😍 So happy that Hyram is your first guest and you had him on to talk about such important topics. 💕
I absolutely love this episode. Hyram is an absolute sweet heart. I must back been living under a rock because I didn’t have him on the tok. I’m going to check out his skin care now! He’s doing the lords work helping us fix our skin from the dreaded st Ives scrub we all used back in the day hahaha.
always look forward to The Sesh Thursdays ❤
Just started this episode but excited y’all are having guests as well now!!
💜💜💜 Hyram I’m officially adopting you! Lol I’m a mama bear and an old lady lol you are now my child. I’m so sorry your birth people disowned you. It’s awful and hurts my heart for you. A real parent loves their children unconditionally period. Love is love and especially love of your child. My son was born with girl parts and now identifies as a man and I love him even more for the strength and the person he is. I knew before he came out to me but didn’t push him. I know it’s on his terms and when he was ready. You Hyram are an amazing human being and with all you’ve dealt with, to be positive and smiling is so beautiful to see. This mama bear not only accepts you but loves you. 💜💜💜💜💜 I wish you so much joy and love and prosperity.
A guest! Yay! Looking forward to it. :)
What a great guest! I’ve never heard of him but I grew up in a small town very close to Prescott in Arizona so I really loved listening to his story and perspective. I bet we even have mutual friends and now I’m so curious to check out his channel!!
Didn’t know who Hyram was before this video but absolutely love his vibe and could use some tips on skin care. I will be following and subscribing Now! 😊
hearing hyram speak about his upbringing was so uplifting. I was also raised in a very conservative and close-minded place. It is so amazing to see how positive he is despite what he has been through. it made me want to be more optimistic.
This whole episode was ELECTRIC! Everyone's aura was lit up. The room was a vibe, convo flowing, such positive vibes. The inclusivity and love emanating off my screen was enough to charge my crystals 😆
I'm a fellow LEO like Janelle--& I melted when Hyrem said he likes us! 🤗Literally no ONE ever says that 🥺...why do we always make the bottom of all the lists?!? I didn't know Syd was a Taurus like Kendall? I thought Cap or Virgo, definitely gives Earth tho. Taurus = Empress = Good Mama Energy. Solid. And I knew Karelly was a Sag (🔥Fam)
Gosh I've never heard of Hyrem until now (I guess I was under a rock) Thank u so much for bringing him on. I too am overwhelmed with the sheer number of brands and different types of ingredients out there that every time I try to put together a solid skincare regimen it's so overwhelming! I just go back to my Aveeno and end up putting it off. Thank you for finding him for me guys....i'm going to check out his skincare line and use his products to simply and avoid the headache. I'll still stick with my PC mattifying primer though (she's my old faithful), but Hyrem, you have a new fan/follower - PLS come on again...the whole conversation from start to finish was bomb.
Love you guys! ❤
@TeIegram_Me_TheSeshPodcast omg is this FR FR? Like FR? I'm going to figure out how to get a Telegram thingy and I'll be on it!! ziiiiiing! 😍🤩😇
Yess!! A guest episode ? Heck yeah. Y'all are the best , I'll say it every time ! Best vibes ever
My fiancé and I, love watching your guy’s podcasts. Starting our anniversary with a new video and not even mad 😂❤
Happy anniversary!
Unpopular opinion about Rihanna's show: Loved it! 10/10! I grew up dancing and have been teaching for 20 years and I think it was meant to be about the overall visual effect not about individual aspects like costume, props, or even identity. If you can find a version of it that is just from a far like it would have looked live the visual aspect of the white vs Queen Rih in red its amazing!
Edit to say: I grew up LDS and in a very small town in AZ. Fast forward to my parents getting divorced after 30 years and my Mom left the church. Now my Dad is remarried and one of my step brothers is gay. I have a child and have never been married. 3 of us aren't in the church and I chose to not have my son associated with church records at all. Our family is so much more open minded and supportive now. Our core family value is LOVE and even though most of my family is still active LDS we have all grown together through our hard times and its amazing to see what a difference focusing on love has had. The grandkids are growing up with open conversations and learning to not be judgemental and its such a different upbringing than me and my siblings had.
Absolutely love this episode! Since this is an episode focused around skincare and healthy skin I wanted to leave my personal recommendation for skin care makeup, I’ve been a professional makeup artist for 7 years and I don’t use anything on clients that aren’t 100% clean beauty! A lot of people don’t know much about the mineral skincare makeup world but once you try it omg it’s life changing! The reason I’m recommending this to you guys is because I know you all like to wear some makeup so I think you’ll really like to try this out:). The line is Jane Iredale and it’s fully transparent on ingredients being minerals and fully natural and lots of their foundations have a built in mineral SPF’s which is a game changer. This line isn’t trending because it is only carried in medi spas and dermatologist offices but the best thing is it’s comparable in price to Sephora lines but it’s skincare built in the makeup. Most places that carry this line will book free consultations to shade match and pick the right products for you! The PurePressed base foundation is a powder spf full coverage foundation that isn’t dry and I’m not kidding it’s incredible! Love you guys🥰
I bought yalls pro choice shirt and even bought an extra for my roommate too 🩷 I love yall so much and everything you stand for. Keep up the AMAZING work mile high crew 🫶🏻
Hyram you are amazing!! Now following you on everything ❤️
Omg!!!! Definitely checking out Hyram’s pod!!! Just started the episode like 30 seconds in and I am so excited!!!
I’m not much of a skincare girlie but I really enjoyed this interview with Hyram. He fits right in with the Seshy vibe❤
Just to chime in I have to recommend my top 2 favorite masks. #1 the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme mask. BEST exfoliating mask. If your skin is feeling rough, congested, this mask will leave it feeling so smooth and clean. I can't recommend it enough! And my second rec is the Ole Henriksen PHAT mask. Also an incredible exfoliating mask. The next day after using it I can really feel and see the difference in the texture and clarity of my skin. The Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge is a great mud mask too!
This episode was so great I really loved listening to Hyrams story it’s really beautiful to see people be their authentic selves despite everything and I’m omw to check his socials for skin care tips now. I look forward to the sesh every week ❤
I didn't know who Hyram was before this podcast, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Hearing him talk about his experience with coming out to his family and spirituality, etc, has come at the perfect time for what I'm going through right now. ❤️
Thank you for having this amazing soul on! Just subbed!! Love the sesh so much.
Perfect timing! Just as I start work so I don’t have to try find an episode I haven’t watched yet😂. Love this podcast❤️. Also shoutout from Northern Ireland😋
LOVED THIS EPISODE! Hyram, you were an awesome guest on the show! 🥂❤️
Another great episode! Hyram had such good insight and was a fantastic guest. Bring him back soon.
Sydney’s hair looks beautiful!
You can hust tell Hyram has a heart of gold 🥹
I loved this episode. I love the sesh! You girls are amazing! ❤️
Hyram got a new follower today!! Love you guys having such a great guest!!
I am saving this episode to listen to while I am at work tomorrow. ❤️ btw I am loving the new CSI segment!
Hyram, Dr. Dray, and Cassandra Bankson are my fave skincare people!!!! I’m so happy to see Hyram so successful!!!! Also, SkinFX and Great Barrier Relief are my two wintertime faves for anyone with dry, irritable skin!!
I’m a mother of 4. I support them fully no matter what. I feel that anyone who has a child should love and support them with who they are. No matter what! There are few things that my children could do that I would disown them.
Hyram was such a joy :) loved the conversations! 💖
ICONIC TRIO 😍
I watched a video he posted a bit ago and he said he was in Colorado and I was thinking to myself it would be cool if he was a gust on the Sesh. Yaaaaay!
“I milk them oats” 😂 I love you guys ahhhhh❤ amazing episode!!!!
Fellow exmo here and I'm so excited for this upload. Proud of you for getting out and can't wait to see what this episode brings!
My hubby is a Leo and I swear. It takes a special person to appreciate a Leo. He is SO FREAKING SARCASTIC that even his own DAD has given me the "are you okay?" Look after something Mike has said 🤣🤣 I'm ALWAYS defending him, like... "Bro. He's joking. I promise. There's not one mean bone in his body. He literally loves me. But his pet name for me is also Cee U Next Tuesday. It's all good, I promise!" 🤣🤣🤣
Just starting this episode and I'm already so excited for this mashup
lighting up a bowl and watching yalls vids is always the highlight of my week:) love you guys sm
Such a perfect guest!! Love love love Hyram
I LOVE THE SESHHH
PLEASE, HYRAM, GO ON MORMON STORIES PODCAST!!!!!! I would looooooove to listen to that omg.
Agreed!!
Tnis was fantastic ✨ I am a Hyram fan. What a kind and sweet human being?! Thanks for all the skincare tips!
i've never heard of hyram (HOW IDK?!) and now he's got a new supporter!! what a genuine gem 🥺💖 thank you for always making great, positive waves in the online community 🥰💖
I loved getting to know Hyram more!! His story was so interesting and insightful
The oat idea is actually so good! I clean my hedgehog with oat milk water and it helps with her dry skin!!
I love Mile Higher and Kendall’s channel I didn’t realize you had a podcast with Janelle!! I’m hype to be a new subscriber. Love y’all! ❤❤ I also wanted Rihanna to sing needed me too!! I thought she was gonna finish with Love on the brain.
This is my first time seeing Hyram, and I really liked him! He's got good vibes 🙌💚
First comment and First time commenting!! I love you guys and watch every episode!!
As someone who has been out for several months and still practices religion. It's so difficult to not having a support system that you can go to is frustrating. But I still have some people in my life who have accepted me. I feel like people who are homophobic are close-minded and truly don't know and have taught the norm that straight is the right to live your life. So if anyone reading this comment, it's easier said then done but you are enough and loved and there are so many people out there who aren't family that will show that unconditional love and support. I really appreciated this video and Hyram for being so open about this topic because this can be an eye opener for some people who have a hard time. 💜
I love how respectful you guys are, doing the research and making the conversation so comfy talking about his sexual orientation! Love the sesh ❤🎉
39:33 been getting preventative Botox since 21 now I'm nearly 31 and people always comment on how amazing my skin is and that they can't believe my age. Botox is life and also if you have bad TMJ like me it's also a life saver 👏🏼
Thats amazing information. Thank you for sharing. I have TMJ and its hard to find relief.
Does insurance cover any of it if you have TMJ? I am also diagnosed with it. Just wondering if anyone has experience with that
@@Meidosama I'm in the Uk so we don't have that issue however it's done in a case by case basis. My best friend does my Botox so she does my Masseter Botox at the same time.
Hi ! I wanted to share my experience with the oatmeal thing.
My daughter has atopic skin and a lot of moms told me to put oats in a cloth, let it soak in the bathtub and bathe her in this oat milk water.
It changed our lives honestly 😊
I feel like if you show your child a proper way to receive and show love and show her life experiences, that’s what makes someone a good person. It’s so complex, and the time to learn and grow will never end but the foundational ways that people know how to treat others is what truly is important.
I never heard of Hyram before this episode but I Judy followed. I'm 24 & have had acne for over 10 years & never had a skincare routine
Just* followed
Loved Hyram as a special guest! 😍 Entertaining, but educational & insightful episode. 😙👌🏼
Love this!! And it was very knowledgeable!!
My heart breaks for him. Every Christian I’ve talked to would disagree with their children being gay but they would still be their children. I’ll never understand how you could put a passage before your living breathing kin. You’re awesome Hyram, it’s so cool having you on the sesh ❤
I’ve been on accutane twice for my cystic acne. & wow it’s crazy how much better i feel about myself with better skin. but the craziest part is how much nicer people are to me without acne? so i’m glad Hyram wants to shift the convo about skin care.
I’m not on tiktok and I had never heard of Hyram before but I’m so glad y’all brought him in!! I would love to know what he thinks about lush. I love their skincare products but I’ve definitely come across criticism that lush is a gimmick-y brand
Dang it I wish I asked him lol
Two of my favs coming together, this made my day 🥰
This is such a fun episode!! Thank you all!
I thought you were guys were gonna talk about one of his videos! I was so excited to see him in the studio!!
Also more into the video, I’m 27 and I get Botox! I love it! I haven’t had any side effects ever from it besides a headache the day of the injections.
Hyrum, I am sad to know that you felt so disenfranchised with regards to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." I have lived in Arizona, I have close family that live there as well. My very best male friends growing up were LGBTQ ( when noone ever talked about it.) I figured out when I was really little that my friends had been hurt very badly by someone ( I had as well) which meant I was that much more determined to be protective and loving with them as well. They were always respectful and protective of me as well.We all loved one another, our friend Doug died from AIDS during the early 80's and I have always missed him, I still do. My daughters have said to me, " Mom, we were so thankful that you were always so accepting and caring for everyone, because it helped us, when we came to realize what our identity is." I was just being myself, trying to be open to seeking to love people for their own hearts because I feel that it all starts with our hearts and souls.
I’m sold went and bought some selfless by Hyram skin care! Love this episode and how possitive it was❤
Hyram's story is incredible!!
Loved this episode. Hyram, you deserve nothing but health and happiness in the future ✨️ 💛
Imagine raising your child, being with them every day at every major milestone of their life, from teaching them about life to bringing them to school, making them dinner, kissing them good night, making beautiful memories with them - only to disown them because of their sexual orientation. I simply cannot understand. If I have a child, they will be a PART OF ME. They are a core aspect of your life from the moment they are born. How could you just let them go like that? I could never, ever... Poor Hyram. I feel deeply saddened on his behalf. Your parents are supposed to be the people who will love you unconditionally that you can always rely on for support. It's awful that he had to experience them being so selfish and inconsiderate of their own child's feelings. I am glad he came out of the situation as such a warm, kind, and generous person.
I have never heard of Hyram, but he is a total sweetheart. I am sorry to all that can't be themselves and when they do let down their guard, they're disowned by their family. It really breaks my heart that family could turn away their own flesh and blood because their children want to be themselves. I think it comes down to ignorance. I don't say that to be mean, but people will always want people to conform to their beliefs because they honestly and truly believe that that is the best for themselves and others. But how can they in the same breath, turn away their loved ones while totally contradicting their own beliefs? I don't think people should have to agree with anything they don't want to, in having said that, just because you don't agree with someone's life choices doesn't mean you can't love and respect them. I think people lose sight of that. And that's a damn shame.
Omg wasn't expecting him to be in the actual show cool!
Damn besties!! What a cool guest!! This was funnnn! Heading over to check out his podcast! ❤❤❤
