“i’m gonna let go but i’m gonna leave claw marks on it and that’s okay” “i don’t know who i’ll be in 6 months but i know i’m gonna like her” Brittany i love you and thank you. that’s all
As a 34 year old chronically online black millennial woman, who deleted most of her social media 3 years ago And who just left a male fiancé and job that took my soul, your presence, your energy, your aura and your message matters. Your voice is so powerful and means more than you can ever know. I ✨receive✨ what you're saying and I thank you.
This happens to me toooooo damn often when I read comments.. I *just* finished reading your comment when that exact moment happened in the video! Not another comment mentioning the rain before reading this one! What are the chances??
i just graduated college and have been lost in life, waking up late and spending hours on my phone, losing friends and my sense of self. i have been wanting to change that, and the way you put into words how i have to let go of old habits and things to meet a new me is all i’ve needed to hear for months. brittany broski, the woman that you are. thank you so much.
I'm in the exact same spot, completely spiraled when I graduated. I'm still staying up til 2-3 in the morning on these damn screens. We gotta reconnect to ourselves and the real world❤
This is so real. I'm just now transitioning from childhood into adult life and experiencing senioritis. I've lost so much of myself because of this expectation to be "mature" and to make something of myself. I've lost so many of the things that I hold dear to my heart. I truly took a moment and wrote a journal entry of all the things that I like and what I feel has been taken away from me after watching this video, it helped me put things into perspective a lot better :)
ME TOO. i’m in the same headspace doing the exact same thing. this whole video had me SOBBING😭 she voiced everything i’ve been thinking about for the past few months.
Personally my favorite episode ever. As a 21 yr old woman losing a sense of self these days, you put everything ive been going thru into words. Thank u so much.
Brittany, I think you changed my entire mindset today. I am chronically online. Scrolling on TikTok, addicted to my phone, consuming media instead of knowing who I am. I have absolutely no clue who I am anymore. I have no likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies. But just hearing the little segment about reflection and screen time has rewired my brain, especially coming from you. You just spoke everything so perfectly to me that I now wanna put my phone down and do something meaningful with my time instead of scrolling. I wanna do art, take photos, listen to music, keep up with school. So thank you for this. I listen to this podcast every week and learn something new from you but this week will be special to me. Please never stop being you and thank you for always bringing me laughs when I’m down!❤❤
Thank you for this because her voice cracking and starting to cry completely broke me to tears. I just wish people would connect again and be themselves. She worded everything so beautifully. I’m ordering some mother fucking clay and making magnets this weekend 😂❤
started crying when thinking about what little me loved to do and how i stopped doing those things lol, brittany really changed my mindset with that segment
What an important conversation guys!!! It’s probably one of the best reflections she could have left, for all of us. Even for those who know how bad it all is but still stay in this cycle, it was the best reminder to take this stuff seriously
Brittany I cannot explain how much your little over-connection and self reflection just helped me. I am going through very hard times financially and emotionally right now and I've found myself in a constant anxious state. I did my homework and picked up something I used to love doing in early elementary, reading! I sat in my chair and read about 70 pages of If Cats Disappeared From The World and I lost myself in it, with my eyes glued to the pages. I took a shower rn and just crieddd because of the disconnect / re-connect it gave me to and from my emotions. And I feel so much better after reading and I want to do more now. Thank you
this comment just made me cry. during the video i paused and tried to think about what i used to love. then this comment made it hit me READING i always say oh i don’t have time im too busy but then my screen time is 6+ hours a day?! thank you for reminding for my love of reading and i can’t wait to delete social media and start my TBR list!
“Im going to let go of things that dont serve me and letting go of some of that stuff im gonna leave clawmarks on it bcs i love some of that stuff, i love some of those people” this is probably (definitely) one of the greatest thing i’ve heard and explains so much about how i feel on letting go of ppl throughout my life. Thank you Brittany
the way i logged on to youtube for a good laugh as a distraction and instead was faced with the truth and what i really needed to hear. i sobbed. thank you for being you brittany i am forever thankful for what you do on here.
I turned 19 this year and felt myself going back to my “childlike” ways. My family likes to tease me about my hobbies and interests. They like to compare me to my little sister who is turning 13 this year. She likes her slicked buns, full face make-up, uggs, neutral wardrobe, etc. Whereas I’m wearing my florals, bluey hairclip, color everything, no makeup, etc. but what they don’t understand is that i was once my little sister, I once thought it was uncool to hug my mom, uncool to wear my favorite colors or anything with a picture on it, uncool to not cover up acne, etc. I once too lived for the benefit of other people and I am so tired. Being young and feeling the need to live for the approval of other people has delayed my process of discovering my identity. Now, I’m unafraid to be “cringe” because I have deprived myself from doing so for the fear of judgement or standing out. That’s why I love you and you’re videos because you make it feel okay to be on a path of self discovery, no matter age. You just make it okay to want to seek out who you truly are, thank you for that.
It actually feels like youre catching up on the teenage hood many people seem to talk about - fun at finding yourself and just doing whatever. Im being teased for some things aswell, but I damn well know that I held the same love for these things when I was younger and still do now. The dislike for them from other people stayed, but guess what, so did my my love.
Brittany, thank you for being so vulnerable and not apologizing for tears. “I’m going to cry and that’s okay” such a powerful statement. I work in mental health and I can’t exaggerate the importance of that statement. Thank you for being you, you’re such an amazing example.
I just turned 19 and i feel like im wasting so much time by doing nothing and doing the same routine everryday week after week. this episode kind of opened my eyes and i am realizing i need to chase my goals and dreams instead of hiding behind my phone in fear i will look stupid or embarrass myself. to be cringe is to be free and i am going to pursue my dreams. thank you brittany.
i sobbed to my therapist just yesterday about how i cant remember the last time i felt pretty. and she was like "when was the last time you let go of feeling constantly looked at online. how free would you feel if you no longer tried to keep up with the unattainable?" and dude that was so profound to me. I have been online since i was 13, i used to have panic attacks when i would post on social media. we were not meant to consume this much and know these many possibilities of different choices of lives. it's becoming a cultural sickness and i am so tired. I deleted my socials again because i need to just be a real person.
“How free would you feel if you no longer tried to keep up with the unattainable?” Just spoke VOLUMES to me. Thank you for sharing this. Youre not alone, friend. ❤
i just finished journaling today, which i haven’t done in a while, and it’s all thanks to you. i wish i could give you a hug and tell you how much of an impact you’ve had on my life. i have lost myself, changed myself for others, and disliked myself more than i’ve disliked anyone else in my life. it hurts being the cause of infection in my own body, desperately trying to fight myself off with all my might. you have inspired me to create positive change within myself, not water myself down for those around me, and to appreciate myself for all that i have accomplished. five year old me would be so proud and she is the only person i will be trying to impress from now on. thank you brittany, i love you.
"i love myself more than any man could ever love me" i am literally fist bumping out here in swampy*ss florida because THIS IS THE MESSAGE WE NEED TO BE SENDING TO OTHERS!! i'm so stoked you're here spreading the word that loving yourself is such a powerful thing to tap into, thank you overlortski
I have a feeling a lot of us cried when she started too, and her words hit us deep. I'm honored to be apart of this community and have this connection with such a beautiful creator. Thank you Brittany 🖤
I got cheated on a few days ago by someone I thought would never do that to me. You are genuinely a blessing to me. All I hear is revenge. Key his car, humiliate him. Although I do want to show him how his actions reflect, what healing will it give to me? What do I like? This episode was so deeply healing in a way I cannot explain. Thank you and I love you ❤
it’s the way i’ve been going through a depressive episode, been doing nothing but sleeping, can’t look at myself in the mirror, don’t have the energy to message my friends back, but seeing an episode being uploaded actually made me smile 😭🩷 i absolutely adore your podcasts/videos girl no matter what i’m going through they just always cheer me up and make me forget about all my worries for a while, and just make me feel purely and happily human again (pls i hope that makes sense 😭) but i love your content so much girl and i truly and whole heartedly thank you for what you’ve done for me and others 🫶
THANK YOU for talking about letting go of social media! I have felt the same way for about 2 months on and off now and wanting to reconnect to my younger self, get back on the instruments I used to play, buy some more lego sets, go outsite and look at the flowers in the forest near my house. There are so many things we can do to bring joy in solitude as well as with company. I think truly, like you touched on, that we all think we are being connected more with social media but it is all surface level. We need to get out, literally touch grass and meet people! Do it for yourself and for others. Love you Leader Broski.
Came back to scroll through the comments again and after seeing people comment similar things to mind I would like to add, if you feel changed by her speech in this video then DONT FORGET. Tiktok has been the number one instigator in us easily moving on from things. Most of us cannot watch a 5 minute video without getting bored and needing new stimuli. Just focus on the change you want to see!
30 year old Broski Nation citizen here. I went through my “love what I loved as a child” self-reflection realization a few years ago and it was the best, most life changing thing I’ve ever done. I lost 90% of my “friends,” but I am now SO happy, SO myself and I don’t feel like I’m acting throughout my day. I moved across the country to pursue childhood dreams, I don’t end the day exhausted from putting on a show and everything I do is because I want to and I love it. It’s a hard thing to do, but it is so worth it.
First of all, loved the Love Island gossip sesh more than you know. Second of all, I had an epiphany a while back when I was having so much anxiety about what to wear and if it was trendy enough or fashionable enough. I realized that I am not a fashion model, I’m not an influencer, I am Alex. I’m an artist, I’m in accounting, I am a 27 year old woman who is my own person. It’s still hard not to feel like I HAVE to conform to the fashion of today, but sometimes I just tell myself that I’m an artist, not a model. I wear what I feel comfortable in and that’s that. Amazing ep!!!
the way i feel like i was hitting a breaking point the past few days and i didn’t know how or where to put my feelings and i come on here and tune into my weekly broski report episode, and now me and my supreme leader and fellow woman in christ miss brittany broski about self awareness and our transitional periods. this woman truly comforts and validates every feeling ive ever had or questioned. ughh i love her with my whole heart🥰🥰
I am 16 years old, I haven't cried properly in years I don't remember the last time it happened. Seeing you cry, "Im letting to of the things that don't serve me" and I broke down and sobbed for the next half an hour listening to you. Thank you!
Sweetie (I am from Texas so I can say that with utmost respect and love), You have 50-something year old followers and I continue to learn about life via you. You are a breath of fresh air, you speak to the masses and you make freaking sense!!! ALL WITH DOBIE EARS ON! Love you and what you have to say.
ive been in active addiction to opioids for 4 years. i lost my mom and grandma in the span of two months in 2020 and started using because i was grieving and needed to be numb. ive been begging the universe/god or tbh you for some sign or push to really make the decision to get sober and go get help. i needed to hear this today and im so excited to meet the new me without this addiction. thank you brittany ❤️
You can do this! I was a heavy user due to grief and I’m almost at 4 years clean. I know we’re strangers on the internet, but I hope you know I truly believe in you. Your mom and grandma are with you every step of the way
Girly, you always say “I’m about to actually cry”, but for you to actually cry and shed tears while on this subject was sooooo so needed for me. God, I have never watched RUclipsrs, never really followed any ‘influencer’ on social media, but I found you recently and I’m so glad I did because it feels like I needed to hear you. The bare naked day to day of scrolling endlessly, honestly not even interacting with anyone or anything anymore, but to find you and hear your thoughts and feelings and your constant struggle to attempt to maintain your link to humanity and sense of self vs social media is so refreshing (how ironic is this entire statement given the platform I’m responding on, but I know you get it) is so relatable. I want to unplug from the matrix, but there’s the double ended sword of realizing I may lose contact with so many people in doing so. But then remembering, how many of them actually reach out to me? Is this serving me at all? I just want to live a normal life 😪 but what is normal anymore? Thank you for existing and for just speaking to the child in me that gets so excited to hear you, relate to you, and feel like I’m not alone in feeling like this world is literally trying to drive me crazy. I love you fearless Broski leader. - ❤️ one of your gays
Over the past year I’ve been slowly deleting social media off of my phone and just deleted the last app and I have been reading until my eyes hurt and I fall asleep at night like when I was a kid. I’ve been hanging out with my kids just chillin and not scrolling on my phone and truly am there with them, not distracted by something dumb on my phone. I went to a restaurant to wait for food and just sat and looked around instead of being on my phone. It’s been amazing! Also, talking about a communal space, I’ve been interning at my local library and I am constantly wondering why more people our age aren’t attending library programs to connect.
@@esonavusani4702 oh my gosh, yes it is hard! Especially without spending money. I’m a stay at home mom (besides going back to school) so I try not spend money unless I have to lol. I love being outside and reading, taking hikes, cooking, drawing,.. but tbh 90% of my time is spent doing mom stuff. Before becoming a mom my hobbies were the same as yours and there’s nothing wrong with that. I totally miss the days my best friend and I would do nothing and lay on my couch and play on our phones and laugh and hang out. I always think that you don’t have to be perfect, you can definitely be on your phone during the day. Just make a conscious effort to not get caught up in scrolling. Whenever I feel the urge to pick up my phone I ask myself “why?” And most of the time I’ll put it back down!
I’m 17. I am in the last year of high school, I have a whole plan for my life. I struggle with my self image, but I surround myself with people that only love and support me. (Boyfriend, friends, family.) I have learned a lot about myself these last few months that I don’t need others to provide my own self worth, but it’s important to me that I learn to love myself and work on myself. I used to think that if just someone loved me I’d be enough, but since I’ve gathered all this love that I know I have and I still don’t feel enough, it’s like a revelation to me. This reminder and self reflection helped me Brit, and I will keep pushing to be the best version of myself FOR me and still love myself now.
I just cut off my situationship of 2 years. A good, beautiful, self deprecating, unavailable to the way I need, unable to commit, man. Thank you girl, you literally spoke to my spirit.
i just ended a relationship of five years with the same kind of guy. wonderful human, but put so little effort into our relationship. we made the right choice and we’ve got this :)
@@_Tea01 haha i mean that he’s a really sweet person but is not ready/mature enough to give me what i need. he also has completely acknowledged and accepted the fact that he hurt me and that i shouldn’t have to wait around for him to grow up. so we lovingly parted ways.
I cried right along with you. As a 33 year old mom of 3 who has felt lost these past few years, thank you 💖 When asked to think about your 15 year old self and what they loved? Tears. Dulling myself to make others comfortable? Tears. When I first found you many moons ago, it was like a reflection of my energy looking back at me. Thank you for being unapologetically and authentically you. It's time to fill up my own cup instead of constantly filling up others. How can I be completely there for the ones I love if my cup isn't even half full 💖
Hearing you say that appearance matters so little, and “are those really people you want to keep around you?” Shattered a mental block that I’ve had since I was a child, growing up always being told that I need to be skinny before I was deserving of love, and that I was repulsive because of my weight. And just now pausing this video to really think about it, I don’t want to keep those people around. I do honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and me sitting down deciding to watch this opened my eyes, and I have realized that I need to do some upkeep in my circle, because these people don’t value me. I need to learn how to value myself. All this to say, thank you, sometimes some simple words are all it takes for major reflection.
i've been on a road to myself for a while now, and it's so rare for me (and for many) to be able to go on youtube, click on someone who makes me giggle, think deep, and regain my sense of self ALL AT THE SAME TIME🖤i love you so much
Brittany ilysm, you have no idea how much i needed to hear you talk about the overconnection and self reflection stuff. Last year was my freshman year of college, and when i graduated hs, my family moved too and i lost everything. i was in the same small town in the midwest for my entire life and when i moved i lost my best friends, family, and every support system i had. i had no one but my emotional abusive father, mentally ill mother and every traumatic memory, i failed that year. i still have no support system, but ive been able to stand up for myself because of you. ive been stuggling SO much with my identity, i feel like im actually going fucking insane, but i can see my real self in you like you did with serena and it gives me enough hope to keep going and chase after what I really want for myself. thank you girl you give me hope
SWEET BRITTANY you’ve been speaking to my soul lately. Your insight on growing into your own skin, navigating the yearning attached to being a single woman in your late 20s, especially as it sits parallel to becoming comfortable with being alone and making time for the ever-important platonic (female) friendships in your life, learning to create more and consume less, and just EVERYTHING. Thanks for making me cry at 10AM on a Tuesday. love u sis
Brittany you are such an inspiration to me. Your self reflection segment brought me to tears. I love hearing you talk about reconnecting with ourselves, because while I may not resonate with this in terms of guys and friends, I’m a mom of 2 and it’s so easy to lose yourself. As a child I adored reading, writing, painting, drawing, singing, dancing, acting and I’ve been yearning to learn who I am and what my interests are now at 27. I feel like I’ve lost so much creativity inside of me that I don’t even know where to start. I’ve recently started baking cakes sometimes and that’s been incredibly enjoyable and I’ve started reading again. You are such a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you for being you ❤
So proud of you for recognizing the “why isn’t she talking about xyz” folks! Just because you’re a public figure doesn’t mean you have to be asociopolitical expert and a voice for the hive mind 👏👏👏 Thank you for being sensitive and sharing your interests and your inner world. You inspire me to be better for ME!
Britney I don’t know what kind of magic you pull but whenever I come to this podcast I hear what I need to hear. I needed your message about watering yourself down, forgetting who you really are and comparing yourself to the people on social media so much today. Thank you for your vulnerability and just for you to bar your soul with all the things you love and believe in inspires me so much and I’ll keep it with me forever. Thank you so much.
I’m fifty, my daughter (now 17) introduced me to your videos a few years ago and I just want to thank you. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Thank you for the laughs when she really needed it. Thank you for being you.
I’ve been recently wearing this charm bracelet I had in middle school. When I first rediscovered it, I didn’t want to wear it because it wasn’t “aesthetic” and I felt like some of the charms were cringe. But now, I really like it as this reminder of a younger version of myself. She liked scootering, and she liked her hip hop dance class, and teddy bears, and playing in the snow, and the color purple. There’s nothing wrong with her or what she likes, and there’s no need for me to hide her because she doesnt fit into some perfect instagramable life. The charm bracelet isn’t some “perfect” “must have” that everyone will be jealous of and wish they had, but it’s more special because it’s mine.
I just got a call from my doctor telling me that I am diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.. i’ve been struggling for months with my health and your videos fill my soul with hope. I don’t know who I’m gonna be in the next six months. I don’t know where my health is going to take me but what I do know is I’m going to start being kinder to myself, I’ve been through enough and I need to start treating myself better. I need to stop being so chronically online I need to change these habits. Thank you for being you Brittany.
My aunt has lupus and other than her upcoming hip surgery shes doing great. Shes had it since childhood and is thriving, i can only wish the same for you ❤️ You got this babes x
Sorry to hear that you’re having a hard time. But just so you have another perspective to think about- my mom was diagnosed at about 21 with what they though was lupus (turned out to be moderate-severe RA and some other issues) and she was told she’d likely be in a wheelchair most of her life and in pain more often than not. (Keeping in mind this would have been pre biologics and advanced medicine in the field). Cut to now, she’s 60, and while she does occasionally have hard times and down days, she has been able to do everything she wants to and then some. She is just as beautiful, capable and lively as ever and things look a lot different than she ever thought they would. Sorry for the novel, but I hope you are able to find some peace in knowing that while it may feel like parts of your life are doom and gloom right now, things can turn out a lot differently than you could have ever imagined. Be gentle with yourself and try to be your own best advocate when it comes to your body and your experience with lupus and RA. Wishing you the best of luck and lots of love and happiness in your future ❤
I love that this was posted on a full moon/lunar eclipse in Pisces day, what a perfect post for what today is supposed to be. A lot of us may be experiencing deep emotions this week and it can be grounding, healing, connecting, and cathartic to do so. Cry when you need to, make art just for you, reconnect with parts of yourself that you feel like you lost. Eclipses are intended to transform your life and push you forward in the most progressive and healthy way. Providing clarity, revealing truths & beginning something new. Brittany is such a beautiful example of this, thank you 🥹🤍✨
I know we may not all be astrology girlies but this really resonated with me today and it felt like the stars truly aligned. I’m so grateful I saw this today and I just wanted to share my sentiments. 🤍
"And I don't know who I'm going to be in six months, but I know I'm gonna like her." Made me absurdly emotional lol absolutely adore this mindset, hearing that made my heart feel all warm n shit 😂❤️
Brittany, this podcast means so much to me. You are so relatable. The random googling, breaking out into song, getting way off topic, it’s ME. I’ve never been so interested in a podcast. Thank you for keeping it real ❤
I know a few episodes ago you were talking about ruminating on what your purpose in life is and what you're leaving behind? And sometime after that talking about the instant connection and bestie potential you feel with some of your fans you meet? I hope you know how much the Broski report means to all of your Broski nation! And I hope you can find some purpose through what just you being you does for all of us, I always feel seen and cackle so much. Always makes my day a lil better when a new episode randomly drops! Rn I'm laying in bed on a work trip, I miss my home and cats and have spent all day out with new people in new places, but laying here, winding down on RUclips with a new episode just brings me so much peace. Ty queen broski 💚💚
as a young girl who is still learning things thank you so much for the speech about self reflection. i feel so attached to my phone as a way of connecting but still i feel so lonely. when you talked about finding what you like from your childhood and continuing doing it, i realised that i’m growing up too quickly because of social media. i feel embarrassed if i like anything that’s not seen as cool or if it doesn’t fit in to the things people my age like. looking back in time when i didn’t have a phone i was so so so much happier and more confident and that makes me feel really sad. i feel robbed of my childhood by social media and i’m going to not let it consume me anymore, i will delete TikTok for a month and explore new interests and hobbies. thank you brittany ❤️
your comment is exactly what’s going through my mind watching this video, im letting my youth pass me by while i scroll on tiktok 16 hours a day. I’m deleting it as well and I hope I can actually commit to staying off
This conversation about reflecting on what's serving you and letting go of that which doesn't serve you.... getting emotional ab it (and accepting that it's ok to be emotional) .... on Tuesday w the full moon & partial eclipse in Pisces.... I digress. I'm always so thankful for you Brittany for being vulnerable with us, you often reflect things that have been sitting on my soul and just make all of us feel less alone!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!
One tip that worked for me to wean myself off scrolling social media at night is charging my phone in a different room all night AND I bought a kindle, so my brain is still like ooo screen time 👹 but I’m actively reading and enriching my brain. Just mentioning in case it helps anyone else!
No forreal. No phone charger in ur room or by ur bed at ALL. Get an alarm clock and plug that thang in elsewhere, preferably somewhere you have to intentionally go get it as opposed to stumble towards mindlessly in the morning.
brittany i'm going through a rough time rn and this podcast honestly gives me so much comfort. i'm constantly rewatching old episodes because it brings me joy. i literally sobbed listening to the episode bc it was exactly what i needed to hear rn🫶 thank you.
as someone who is quite literally so confused about who i am truly and not just situationally, your speech and tears and passion on these topics is so inspiring and encouraging to know that not only am i not alone, but there are so many ways in which you can overcome these feelings and grow into yourself and love that person. thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do and represent.
I’ve recently started listening to audiobooks and coloring while I do at the end of my day instead of scrolling on my phone. And immediately I loved it and felt so much better. And I got upset at first because I felt so good, that I was upset that I didn’t start sooner. But I realized it doesn’t matter, and at least I did it! I’m constantly loving and appreciating you more and more. You deserve the best and so do all of you listening!!! STAND TF UP QUEENS
Loving the diversity of me laughing about your take on Love Island, crying when you cried, then locked tf in when you talked about art. Truly the queen of duality
the way i feel like i was hitting a breaking point the past few days and i didn’t know how or where to put my feelings and i come on here and tune into my weekly broski report episode, and now me and my supreme leader and fellow woman in christ miss brittany broski about self awareness and our transitional periods. this woman truly comforts and validates every feeling ive ever had or questioned. ughh i love her with my whole heart🥰🥰
I watch these while doing my makeup and I had to restart today because I started crying. Everything Brittany said was EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. Letting go of things and people who are NOT good for me. I’m trying so hard. Thank you for everything
i love how we go from one tangent to the next in a spiral and i'm locked in, head empty, every time. also the fact that we have such deep and meaningful convos but also talk abt the most random bs is amazing. ur channel is my fav podcast channel to listen to/watch like i love u queen broski
I just started my sober (curious) journey last week and I REALLY resonated with what you said about letting things go that you don't serve you. That some of those things are gonna have claw marks. Not relying on substances is hard, but thinking about reconnecting with the girl I was before I started using motivates me. Sometimes I feel like I completely lost myself. I'm reading, working out, line dancing. I'm doing things I have never tried before and doing the things I used to love to do. I'm becoming more and more myself. I thought what you said was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing stuff like that with us. It makes me feel less alone
This podcast could not come at a better time. Last week i commented that i just got broken up with, and that thinfs were so hard. During this week ive found myself happier than ever, embracing my queer side, new and old friends and just finding myself. Im gaining my sparkle back. Thank you, and all your followers for being such amazing and inspiring people. Hearing Brittany talk about, "i dont know who ill be in 6 months, but i know I'm gonna like her" I feel so much and relate so much. ❤ love you all, take care of yourself
Stopped doing the dishes and came over to watch and cry with you. I love you Brittany, thank you for all you do. You mean so much to me, and I appreciate so much being on this planet the same time you are
so i was raised in a traditional “ man “ household where we weren’t allowed to cry and i legitimately haven’t cried in years and the way this women is so emotionally intelligent just broke me im sobbing i love you brittany so much
one thing i picked up was birdwatching. being outside and sitting with no music, being able to listen to the world around me for a few minutes at a time really centered me. and i’m not saying everyone needs to pick up birdwatching, but that kind of hobby has made a world of difference for me.
I'm currently going through some major life transitions (going to be 27 in October, recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2yrs & moved back in with family) and that self reflection segment was something I really needed to hear. I want to get to know myself again and rediscover things I love and find myself. Thank you, for being so vulnerable and unapologetically yourself. You have no idea how much it means to me and so many others.
I love when people get philosophical. So many people are bored or uncomfortable with it, but its truly so important. Thank you for being our modern day, slay socrates. I pray that philosophy never dies, as it is truly the one thing that sets us humans apart from animals and plants-- morals, judgement, theories... they should never be shunned, shadowed or banned. That is how humanity loses.
As a young woman in Texas with a background similar to Brittany, who doesn’t have parents or siblings to support or guide me, this podcast means so much to me. I’m going through a really hard time right now, and the moment she talked about letting go of things that do not serve you, I really needed that. You are a truly amazing woman, Brittany lol as much as that means coming from a complete stranger but, I hope you know that. You and Drew fill that need for a big sister I need
One of the things that I did late last year and throughout this year is doing things on my own to reconnect to myself and actually like being in my own company. So far, I’ve gone to concerts alone, movies alone, done activities alone like drawing, *attempting* to read books of topics I’m interested in, etc. It really has helped but I haven’t found the courage to take my phone/laptop out of the equation for even a few minutes. I know that it’s deteriorating me but it’s my safe space and I don’t really know what to do with that information. Someone close to me drilled into my mind the concept of “magic happens when you’re outside of your comfort zone” but this one is incredibly difficult. I need something to snap me out of this but finding the strength to do it myself is so… uncomfortable. I’m sending so much love to you Brittany !
I did NOT expect this episode to be my favorite episode. I don't even know what love Island is lol, but your comments on reconnecting with yourself and not wasting your potential seriously hit deep. Its beautiful that you have decided to pull us all up with you on your healing journey 💙
The "I think it's raining and I have to go look because I like the rain" made me laugh so hard, I cried even harder. Thanks Brittany for just this entire episode. You're such a beautiful soul and you don't know how much of a positive impact you have on this planet. I'm so thankful I get to listen to you every week.
Today my dad is having surgery to become cancer free. Thank you for being a great distraction from this crazy world and giving people something to look forward to every Tuesday ♥️
been going through this with my parents for the past few years, hope it all goes well and he has a speedy recovery. ♥ Nap when you're less nervous, it really helps!!!
I have been working tons of overtime at my job and stress has been really high. I started listening to this on a self care date doing something I’ve never done before. I needed to hear all of this again. Thank you so much for all you do. Feeling love and compassion for myself.
Woke up feeling just a bit off and lost in life. I clicked this thinking it was a full 45 min yap sesh on love Island but the deeper conversation on finding who you are and what you love is what I needed the most and I didn’t even know it. Thank you Brittany for being so raw and speaking from your heart and all of ours.
I literally did the exact same. Was so excited Britt finally watched love island. But also really needed those words from her. I really love her, and the community we have built to allow her to thrive and be our voice. ❤️
I’m so obsessed with this episode. As a recent grad who is lost and confused, it was perfect timing. And I just went to Italy and saw all these works! Thank you, love
I will go back to this episode when needed, to hear your self-reflection again. thank you for being so vulnerable and your truest self, it is extremely brave and takes a lot of confidence. i often feel like i can't be myself or others will judge me or not understand. but being myself is what makes me happy.
Me sobbing through most of this. I'm 28 and I LOVE gyaru and scene fashion/makeup. After listening to you for a while loving things so loudly I decided to give it a shot and wear and the things I've collected in secret to a concert later this month. I come from a small town and I own a buisness there so I've been terrified of indulging in the things that make me happy because if being cringe or whatever. Australia also has a terrible terrible tall poppy syndrome that is so ingrained in our culture, especially in the small towns but I think the younger people are slowly changing. Anyway thanks supreme leader I'll do my best to have a blast
i don’t mean this in any bad, offensive or mean way but i love when you cry. i don’t cry easily, even about things im passionate about and seeing you do it makes me feel like im crying with you 🩷 i love how passionate you are about topics, especially about just being yourself and it truly does motivate me to be a better person and do whatever makes me the happiest version of me 🥹 keep kicking goals, we’re all here for you xx
girl you cant make me cry at work but here i am about to cry cause of every impactful word youve said. I haven't sat down with myself i feel like since covid and college graduation a little more than a year ago. thats like 4 years of my life feeling like im just trudging through water just keeping my head above the surface just enough to survive. Thank you brittany for your powerful words today, and for encouraging me to reintroduce myself to me, and always keeping me company at work.
Brittany thanks for this, y'all got me out of a rut, I just keep swapping addictions to shy away from reconnecting with myself. Thanks for reminding me to cherish time with myself. Stay real, spread love ❤❤❤
another thing about social media is that it conditions us to interact with each other through the lens of consumption. i know i have a really hard time calling my friends still and i’ve been actively distancing myself from short form content for like 6 months. 6 months sober from tiktok fr. but it’s hard to actively instead of passively interact with someone else for people who are chronically online and bridging that gap is truly terrifying without a sense of self concept which i’ve had the blessing to be helped with therapy. it’s a difficult, and severely unrecognized culturally, hole to dig oneself out of and i really hope anyone who is in there can find their way out. to anyone who needs to hear this: I BELIEVE IN YOU, KEEP GOING!❤️❤️
I recently rewatched old videos of myself and my family when we were little. Little tiny kids. Im 21 years old now, and having done that really put into perspective how Im grown. Im real. I was real, that was me, me 19 years ago. And the voice of my youngerself is forever imbedded into my head now and I want to cry everytime I hear her. Ive come so far, and I miss being her, but shes me now, just a little more beat up from life than before. But I know shes proud and I know shes excited that Im who we are now and who we will be. I always loved the things that I have loved as a kid, but going back and revisiting all these things ive loved is so comforting but stings so much. But it still brings me joy. I recently just joined the volunteer firefighter department in my small tiny town, little me is jumping in joy now because I was able to fullfill a small dream for us. And who knows, this may be a new trail for me to hike for my future self :,)
To be completely honest, I was one of those kids (even into college) that always rolled my eyes when I had to learn about art history. It felt useless and stupid to me even though I got good grades in all of my art classes. I will say that as I’ve grown up, I’ve found a mild appreciation for certain pieces of art. You, however, make me actually want to learn about art history, even ones I previously scoffed at. I’m fully engaged and the way you describe it is really enthralling. Thank you for that.
The duality of being so emotionally intelligent whilst wearing Dobby ears is so amazing
Oh girl we need more art history 🫶🏾🫶🏾too entertaining
Brittany is queen of the internet for a reason ❤
And when they flop around sometimes, it kills me 😂 but I'm LOCKED IN
Dobby is more emotionally intelligent than most people I know
RIGHT??
“i’m gonna let go but i’m gonna leave claw marks on it and that’s okay”
“i don’t know who i’ll be in 6 months but i know i’m gonna like her”
Brittany i love you and thank you. that’s all
Hugs for britney 😢
definitely crying while she says it, i’m right there with you bro
This was so powerful and I needed it so bad.
❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU SUPREME LEADER
“But I know I’m gonna like her” made me sob
As a 34 year old chronically online black millennial woman, who deleted most of her social media 3 years ago And who just left a male fiancé and job that took my soul, your presence, your energy, your aura and your message matters. Your voice is so powerful and means more than you can ever know. I ✨receive✨ what you're saying and I thank you.
That’s so beautiful! As another Women on the internet I just wanna say I’m proud of you. That’s takes soooo much to know what you’re worth.
“One second I think it’s raining and I have to go look because I like the rain” was the most relatable and heartwarming thing this entire episode
Just bugs hitting the window 😓
SAME
This happens to me toooooo damn often when I read comments.. I *just* finished reading your comment when that exact moment happened in the video! Not another comment mentioning the rain before reading this one! What are the chances??
it neverrr rains in LA lol i would do the same. especially coming from tx!
i just graduated college and have been lost in life, waking up late and spending hours on my phone, losing friends and my sense of self. i have been wanting to change that, and the way you put into words how i have to let go of old habits and things to meet a new me is all i’ve needed to hear for months. brittany broski, the woman that you are. thank you so much.
I'm in the exact same spot, completely spiraled when I graduated. I'm still staying up til 2-3 in the morning on these damn screens. We gotta reconnect to ourselves and the real world❤
This is so real. I'm just now transitioning from childhood into adult life and experiencing senioritis. I've lost so much of myself because of this expectation to be "mature" and to make something of myself. I've lost so many of the things that I hold dear to my heart. I truly took a moment and wrote a journal entry of all the things that I like and what I feel has been taken away from me after watching this video, it helped me put things into perspective a lot better :)
ME TOO. i’m in the same headspace doing the exact same thing. this whole video had me SOBBING😭 she voiced everything i’ve been thinking about for the past few months.
losing “friends” is such a blessing… because now you will find your real ones. 🩷💖
I’ve lost myself post grad living back at home with my parents🥺
Personally my favorite episode ever. As a 21 yr old woman losing a sense of self these days, you put everything ive been going thru into words. Thank u so much.
Brittany, I think you changed my entire mindset today. I am chronically online. Scrolling on TikTok, addicted to my phone, consuming media instead of knowing who I am. I have absolutely no clue who I am anymore. I have no likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies. But just hearing the little segment about reflection and screen time has rewired my brain, especially coming from you. You just spoke everything so perfectly to me that I now wanna put my phone down and do something meaningful with my time instead of scrolling. I wanna do art, take photos, listen to music, keep up with school. So thank you for this. I listen to this podcast every week and learn something new from you but this week will be special to me. Please never stop being you and thank you for always bringing me laughs when I’m down!❤❤
you literally explained exactly how i feel to a t
ok crying thank u for sharing bc me too 😭
Thank you for this because her voice cracking and starting to cry completely broke me to tears. I just wish people would connect again and be themselves. She worded everything so beautifully. I’m ordering some mother fucking clay and making magnets this weekend 😂❤
started crying when thinking about what little me loved to do and how i stopped doing those things lol, brittany really changed my mindset with that segment
What an important conversation guys!!! It’s probably one of the best reflections she could have left, for all of us. Even for those who know how bad it all is but still stay in this cycle, it was the best reminder to take this stuff seriously
Brittany I cannot explain how much your little over-connection and self reflection just helped me. I am going through very hard times financially and emotionally right now and I've found myself in a constant anxious state. I did my homework and picked up something I used to love doing in early elementary, reading! I sat in my chair and read about 70 pages of If Cats Disappeared From The World and I lost myself in it, with my eyes glued to the pages. I took a shower rn and just crieddd because of the disconnect / re-connect it gave me to and from my emotions. And I feel so much better after reading and I want to do more now. Thank you
REALL
this comment just made me cry. during the video i paused and tried to think about what i used to love. then this comment made it hit me READING i always say oh i don’t have time im too busy but then my screen time is 6+ hours a day?! thank you for reminding for my love of reading and i can’t wait to delete social media and start my TBR list!
“Im going to let go of things that dont serve me and letting go of some of that stuff im gonna leave clawmarks on it bcs i love some of that stuff, i love some of those people” this is probably (definitely) one of the greatest thing i’ve heard and explains so much about how i feel on letting go of ppl throughout my life. Thank you Brittany
the way i logged on to youtube for a good laugh as a distraction and instead was faced with the truth and what i really needed to hear. i sobbed. thank you for being you brittany i am forever thankful for what you do on here.
This exactly was what happened to me and I’m so grateful Brittney you got me out of such a dark and sucky day after listening to this thank you!
Same here, love u B
locked in, hands off the wheel, medieval sword unsheathed, going 90mph (I’m on the toilet)
Baby girl me too
same❤❤
Best one yet omg 😂
Could not relate more
Me too!😍
I turned 19 this year and felt myself going back to my “childlike” ways. My family likes to tease me about my hobbies and interests. They like to compare me to my little sister who is turning 13 this year. She likes her slicked buns, full face make-up, uggs, neutral wardrobe, etc. Whereas I’m wearing my florals, bluey hairclip, color everything, no makeup, etc. but what they don’t understand is that i was once my little sister, I once thought it was uncool to hug my mom, uncool to wear my favorite colors or anything with a picture on it, uncool to not cover up acne, etc. I once too lived for the benefit of other people and I am so tired. Being young and feeling the need to live for the approval of other people has delayed my process of discovering my identity. Now, I’m unafraid to be “cringe” because I have deprived myself from doing so for the fear of judgement or standing out. That’s why I love you and you’re videos because you make it feel okay to be on a path of self discovery, no matter age. You just make it okay to want to seek out who you truly are, thank you for that.
It actually feels like youre catching up on the teenage hood many people seem to talk about - fun at finding yourself and just doing whatever. Im being teased for some things aswell, but I damn well know that I held the same love for these things when I was younger and still do now.
The dislike for them from other people stayed, but guess what, so did my my love.
why did i start bawling my eyes out the second she started tearing up
Same
Brittany, thank you for being so vulnerable and not apologizing for tears. “I’m going to cry and that’s okay” such a powerful statement. I work in mental health and I can’t exaggerate the importance of that statement. Thank you for being you, you’re such an amazing example.
I just turned 19 and i feel like im wasting so much time by doing nothing and doing the same routine everryday week after week. this episode kind of opened my eyes and i am realizing i need to chase my goals and dreams instead of hiding behind my phone in fear i will look stupid or embarrass myself. to be cringe is to be free and i am going to pursue my dreams. thank you brittany.
"I don't know who I'm going to be in 6 months, but I know I'm gonna like her" hit home for me I started tearing up
i sobbed to my therapist just yesterday about how i cant remember the last time i felt pretty. and she was like "when was the last time you let go of feeling constantly looked at online. how free would you feel if you no longer tried to keep up with the unattainable?" and dude that was so profound to me. I have been online since i was 13, i used to have panic attacks when i would post on social media. we were not meant to consume this much and know these many possibilities of different choices of lives. it's becoming a cultural sickness and i am so tired. I deleted my socials again because i need to just be a real person.
Proud of you for recognizing that and deleting your socials in order to work on your mental health. That’s a brave and beautiful thing ❤ keep going!!!
proud of you. i feel the exact same way😢
Proud of you. I feel the same way. I’ve been cutting back on what i watch and consume now❤️🩹
“How free would you feel if you no longer tried to keep up with the unattainable?” Just spoke VOLUMES to me. Thank you for sharing this. Youre not alone, friend. ❤
i just finished journaling today, which i haven’t done in a while, and it’s all thanks to you. i wish i could give you a hug and tell you how much of an impact you’ve had on my life. i have lost myself, changed myself for others, and disliked myself more than i’ve disliked anyone else in my life. it hurts being the cause of infection in my own body, desperately trying to fight myself off with all my might. you have inspired me to create positive change within myself, not water myself down for those around me, and to appreciate myself for all that i have accomplished. five year old me would be so proud and she is the only person i will be trying to impress from now on. thank you brittany, i love you.
"i love myself more than any man could ever love me"
i am literally fist bumping out here in swampy*ss florida because THIS IS THE MESSAGE WE NEED TO BE SENDING TO OTHERS!! i'm so stoked you're here spreading the word that loving yourself is such a powerful thing to tap into, thank you overlortski
I have a feeling a lot of us cried when she started too, and her words hit us deep. I'm honored to be apart of this community and have this connection with such a beautiful creator. Thank you Brittany 🖤
I got cheated on a few days ago by someone I thought would never do that to me. You are genuinely a blessing to me. All I hear is revenge. Key his car, humiliate him. Although I do want to show him how his actions reflect, what healing will it give to me? What do I like? This episode was so deeply healing in a way I cannot explain. Thank you and I love you ❤
literally JUST popped open my lunch I’m so ready for my regularly scheduled iPad baby time
Lunch?! It’s 10 am where I’m at rn 🥰
This was uploaded at 6am for me LMAO
Ma’am it was 7 am when you commented this, why are we having lunch so early?
Literally
And then this episode is about why we all need less ipad baby time lol
I laughed, I cried, I reflected, I loved and I truly lived throughout this entire video experience. thank you mother 🤍🥲
Couldn’t have put it better myself 🤍
it’s the way i’ve been going through a depressive episode, been doing nothing but sleeping, can’t look at myself in the mirror, don’t have the energy to message my friends back, but seeing an episode being uploaded actually made me smile 😭🩷 i absolutely adore your podcasts/videos girl no matter what i’m going through they just always cheer me up and make me forget about all my worries for a while, and just make me feel purely and happily human again (pls i hope that makes sense 😭) but i love your content so much girl and i truly and whole heartedly thank you for what you’ve done for me and others 🫶
THANK YOU for talking about letting go of social media! I have felt the same way for about 2 months on and off now and wanting to reconnect to my younger self, get back on the instruments I used to play, buy some more lego sets, go outsite and look at the flowers in the forest near my house. There are so many things we can do to bring joy in solitude as well as with company. I think truly, like you touched on, that we all think we are being connected more with social media but it is all surface level. We need to get out, literally touch grass and meet people! Do it for yourself and for others. Love you Leader Broski.
Came back to scroll through the comments again and after seeing people comment similar things to mind I would like to add, if you feel changed by her speech in this video then DONT FORGET. Tiktok has been the number one instigator in us easily moving on from things. Most of us cannot watch a 5 minute video without getting bored and needing new stimuli. Just focus on the change you want to see!
30 year old Broski Nation citizen here. I went through my “love what I loved as a child” self-reflection realization a few years ago and it was the best, most life changing thing I’ve ever done. I lost 90% of my “friends,” but I am now SO happy, SO myself and I don’t feel like I’m acting throughout my day. I moved across the country to pursue childhood dreams, I don’t end the day exhausted from putting on a show and everything I do is because I want to and I love it. It’s a hard thing to do, but it is so worth it.
30s are the best!!!
First of all, loved the Love Island gossip sesh more than you know.
Second of all, I had an epiphany a while back when I was having so much anxiety about what to wear and if it was trendy enough or fashionable enough. I realized that I am not a fashion model, I’m not an influencer, I am Alex. I’m an artist, I’m in accounting, I am a 27 year old woman who is my own person. It’s still hard not to feel like I HAVE to conform to the fashion of today, but sometimes I just tell myself that I’m an artist, not a model. I wear what I feel comfortable in and that’s that.
Amazing ep!!!
NEW HEADPIECE JUST DROPPED!!
36:49 Britt you have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I’m crying 😭 thank you
the way i feel like i was hitting a breaking point the past few days and i didn’t know how or where to put my feelings and i come on here and tune into my weekly broski report episode, and now me and my supreme leader and fellow woman in christ miss brittany broski about self awareness and our transitional periods. this woman truly comforts and validates every feeling ive ever had or questioned. ughh i love her with my whole heart🥰🥰
I am 16 years old, I haven't cried properly in years I don't remember the last time it happened. Seeing you cry, "Im letting to of the things that don't serve me" and I broke down and sobbed for the next half an hour listening to you. Thank you!
36:26 Why do the Donny ears suddenly look more downturned when mama sad
Sweetie (I am from Texas so I can say that with utmost respect and love), You have 50-something year old followers and I continue to learn about life via you. You are a breath of fresh air, you speak to the masses and you make freaking sense!!! ALL WITH DOBIE EARS ON! Love you and what you have to say.
This made me tear up again haha it’s so beautiful to see comments like this ❤ I hope you have a wonderful night
@@lanabrown1443 Thank you :) I hope you have a great day and your day is filled with smiles and laughs.
ive been in active addiction to opioids for 4 years. i lost my mom and grandma in the span of two months in 2020 and started using because i was grieving and needed to be numb. ive been begging the universe/god or tbh you for some sign or push to really make the decision to get sober and go get help. i needed to hear this today and im so excited to meet the new me without this addiction. thank you brittany ❤️
You can do this! I was a heavy user due to grief and I’m almost at 4 years clean. I know we’re strangers on the internet, but I hope you know I truly believe in you. Your mom and grandma are with you every step of the way
I’m proud of you
SO SO SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Takes real courage. It won’t be like this forever. One day at a time❤️🩹🦋
Girly, you always say “I’m about to actually cry”, but for you to actually cry and shed tears while on this subject was sooooo so needed for me. God, I have never watched RUclipsrs, never really followed any ‘influencer’ on social media, but I found you recently and I’m so glad I did because it feels like I needed to hear you. The bare naked day to day of scrolling endlessly, honestly not even interacting with anyone or anything anymore, but to find you and hear your thoughts and feelings and your constant struggle to attempt to maintain your link to humanity and sense of self vs social media is so refreshing (how ironic is this entire statement given the platform I’m responding on, but I know you get it) is so relatable. I want to unplug from the matrix, but there’s the double ended sword of realizing I may lose contact with so many people in doing so. But then remembering, how many of them actually reach out to me? Is this serving me at all? I just want to live a normal life 😪 but what is normal anymore? Thank you for existing and for just speaking to the child in me that gets so excited to hear you, relate to you, and feel like I’m not alone in feeling like this world is literally trying to drive me crazy. I love you fearless Broski leader.
- ❤️ one of your gays
Over the past year I’ve been slowly deleting social media off of my phone and just deleted the last app and I have been reading until my eyes hurt and I fall asleep at night like when I was a kid. I’ve been hanging out with my kids just chillin and not scrolling on my phone and truly am there with them, not distracted by something dumb on my phone. I went to a restaurant to wait for food and just sat and looked around instead of being on my phone. It’s been amazing! Also, talking about a communal space, I’ve been interning at my local library and I am constantly wondering why more people our age aren’t attending library programs to connect.
@@esonavusani4702 oh my gosh, yes it is hard! Especially without spending money. I’m a stay at home mom (besides going back to school) so I try not spend money unless I have to lol. I love being outside and reading, taking hikes, cooking, drawing,.. but tbh 90% of my time is spent doing mom stuff. Before becoming a mom my hobbies were the same as yours and there’s nothing wrong with that. I totally miss the days my best friend and I would do nothing and lay on my couch and play on our phones and laugh and hang out. I always think that you don’t have to be perfect, you can definitely be on your phone during the day. Just make a conscious effort to not get caught up in scrolling. Whenever I feel the urge to pick up my phone I ask myself “why?” And most of the time I’ll put it back down!
I’m 17. I am in the last year of high school, I have a whole plan for my life. I struggle with my self image, but I surround myself with people that only love and support me. (Boyfriend, friends, family.) I have learned a lot about myself these last few months that I don’t need others to provide my own self worth, but it’s important to me that I learn to love myself and work on myself. I used to think that if just someone loved me I’d be enough, but since I’ve gathered all this love that I know I have and I still don’t feel enough, it’s like a revelation to me. This reminder and self reflection helped me Brit, and I will keep pushing to be the best version of myself FOR me and still love myself now.
So so so so proud of you. I’ve had this realization at 19❤️🩹.
brittany talking about art = me locked in at a metaphysical level
I freakin love fart history with professor broski
Literally i need moree
I just cut off my situationship of 2 years. A good, beautiful, self deprecating, unavailable to the way I need, unable to commit, man. Thank you girl, you literally spoke to my spirit.
good job!!! so proud of you
i just ended a relationship of five years with the same kind of guy. wonderful human, but put so little effort into our relationship. we made the right choice and we’ve got this :)
@jadesfromjupiter7780 wym hes wonderful but didnt even try to value your relationship?
@@_Tea01 haha i mean that he’s a really sweet person but is not ready/mature enough to give me what i need. he also has completely acknowledged and accepted the fact that he hurt me and that i shouldn’t have to wait around for him to grow up. so we lovingly parted ways.
I cried right along with you. As a 33 year old mom of 3 who has felt lost these past few years, thank you 💖 When asked to think about your 15 year old self and what they loved? Tears. Dulling myself to make others comfortable? Tears.
When I first found you many moons ago, it was like a reflection of my energy looking back at me. Thank you for being unapologetically and authentically you. It's time to fill up my own cup instead of constantly filling up others. How can I be completely there for the ones I love if my cup isn't even half full 💖
Hearing you say that appearance matters so little, and “are those really people you want to keep around you?” Shattered a mental block that I’ve had since I was a child, growing up always being told that I need to be skinny before I was deserving of love, and that I was repulsive because of my weight. And just now pausing this video to really think about it, I don’t want to keep those people around. I do honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and me sitting down deciding to watch this opened my eyes, and I have realized that I need to do some upkeep in my circle, because these people don’t value me. I need to learn how to value myself. All this to say, thank you, sometimes some simple words are all it takes for major reflection.
Your words reflect how beautiful you are and I don’t even have to look! 🫶🏼
Not the silent coyote having lore💀she really said, “Were you silent, or were you silenced?”😭
i've been on a road to myself for a while now, and it's so rare for me (and for many) to be able to go on youtube, click on someone who makes me giggle, think deep, and regain my sense of self ALL AT THE SAME TIME🖤i love you so much
13:10 i don’t watch love island but that woman was completely within bounds when she dumped breakfast all over mr. two timer
and i would’ve done the same thing
uploaded 32 seconds ago is crazy, my body just senses these videos and wakes up 😭
No fr. I got on and it was posted
See when you don’t have a job
@@Fisher_J2Oop
Brittany ilysm, you have no idea how much i needed to hear you talk about the overconnection and self reflection stuff. Last year was my freshman year of college, and when i graduated hs, my family moved too and i lost everything. i was in the same small town in the midwest for my entire life and when i moved i lost my best friends, family, and every support system i had. i had no one but my emotional abusive father, mentally ill mother and every traumatic memory, i failed that year. i still have no support system, but ive been able to stand up for myself because of you. ive been stuggling SO much with my identity, i feel like im actually going fucking insane, but i can see my real self in you like you did with serena and it gives me enough hope to keep going and chase after what I really want for myself. thank you girl you give me hope
SWEET BRITTANY you’ve been speaking to my soul lately. Your insight on growing into your own skin, navigating the yearning attached to being a single woman in your late 20s, especially as it sits parallel to becoming comfortable with being alone and making time for the ever-important platonic (female) friendships in your life, learning to create more and consume less, and just EVERYTHING. Thanks for making me cry at 10AM on a Tuesday. love u sis
AN HOUR AND 12 MINUTES?!?!! Lady Broski is spoiling us this week!!!;
Brittany you are such an inspiration to me. Your self reflection segment brought me to tears. I love hearing you talk about reconnecting with ourselves, because while I may not resonate with this in terms of guys and friends, I’m a mom of 2 and it’s so easy to lose yourself. As a child I adored reading, writing, painting, drawing, singing, dancing, acting and I’ve been yearning to learn who I am and what my interests are now at 27. I feel like I’ve lost so much creativity inside of me that I don’t even know where to start. I’ve recently started baking cakes sometimes and that’s been incredibly enjoyable and I’ve started reading again. You are such a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you for being you ❤
The lemonade effect will be my new thing I explain to people when I’m drunk thank you leader
This is so real
So proud of you for recognizing the “why isn’t she talking about xyz” folks! Just because you’re a public figure doesn’t mean you have to be asociopolitical expert and a voice for the hive mind 👏👏👏
Thank you for being sensitive and sharing your interests and your inner world. You inspire me to be better for ME!
Yes!
Britney I don’t know what kind of magic you pull but whenever I come to this podcast I hear what I need to hear. I needed your message about watering yourself down, forgetting who you really are and comparing yourself to the people on social media so much today. Thank you for your vulnerability and just for you to bar your soul with all the things you love and believe in inspires me so much and I’ll keep it with me forever. Thank you so much.
obsessed with the fact that this gets posted as soon as I’m sitting down at my desk for work 🙏🏼👏🏼
For me it's on my lunch break, ha~!💅🏻
I’m fifty, my daughter (now 17) introduced me to your videos a few years ago and I just want to thank you. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Thank you for the laughs when she really needed it. Thank you for being you.
I’ve been recently wearing this charm bracelet I had in middle school. When I first rediscovered it, I didn’t want to wear it because it wasn’t “aesthetic” and I felt like some of the charms were cringe. But now, I really like it as this reminder of a younger version of myself. She liked scootering, and she liked her hip hop dance class, and teddy bears, and playing in the snow, and the color purple. There’s nothing wrong with her or what she likes, and there’s no need for me to hide her because she doesnt fit into some perfect instagramable life. The charm bracelet isn’t some “perfect” “must have” that everyone will be jealous of and wish they had, but it’s more special because it’s mine.
I just got a call from my doctor telling me that I am diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.. i’ve been struggling for months with my health and your videos fill my soul with hope. I don’t know who I’m gonna be in the next six months. I don’t know where my health is going to take me but what I do know is I’m going to start being kinder to myself, I’ve been through enough and I need to start treating myself better. I need to stop being so chronically online I need to change these habits. Thank you for being you Brittany.
I'm wishing you the absolute best!🫶🏼
sending lots of love and hope towards you!🫶🏻✨
My aunt has lupus and other than her upcoming hip surgery shes doing great. Shes had it since childhood and is thriving, i can only wish the same for you ❤️
You got this babes x
Ify babe, I recently got diagnosed with a chronic illness
Sorry to hear that you’re having a hard time. But just so you have another perspective to think about- my mom was diagnosed at about 21 with what they though was lupus (turned out to be moderate-severe RA and some other issues) and she was told she’d likely be in a wheelchair most of her life and in pain more often than not. (Keeping in mind this would have been pre biologics and advanced medicine in the field). Cut to now, she’s 60, and while she does occasionally have hard times and down days, she has been able to do everything she wants to and then some. She is just as beautiful, capable and lively as ever and things look a lot different than she ever thought they would. Sorry for the novel, but I hope you are able to find some peace in knowing that while it may feel like parts of your life are doom and gloom right now, things can turn out a lot differently than you could have ever imagined. Be gentle with yourself and try to be your own best advocate when it comes to your body and your experience with lupus and RA. Wishing you the best of luck and lots of love and happiness in your future ❤
I love that this was posted on a full moon/lunar eclipse in Pisces day, what a perfect post for what today is supposed to be. A lot of us may be experiencing deep emotions this week and it can be grounding, healing, connecting, and cathartic to do so. Cry when you need to, make art just for you, reconnect with parts of yourself that you feel like you lost. Eclipses are intended to transform your life and push you forward in the most progressive and healthy way. Providing clarity, revealing truths & beginning something new. Brittany is such a beautiful example of this, thank you 🥹🤍✨
I know we may not all be astrology girlies but this really resonated with me today and it felt like the stars truly aligned. I’m so grateful I saw this today and I just wanted to share my sentiments. 🤍
“I don’t know who I’m gonna be in 6 months but I know I’m gonna like her”
YES😭
"And I don't know who I'm going to be in six months, but I know I'm gonna like her." Made me absurdly emotional lol absolutely adore this mindset, hearing that made my heart feel all warm n shit 😂❤️
Brittany, this podcast means so much to me. You are so relatable. The random googling, breaking out into song, getting way off topic, it’s ME. I’ve never been so interested in a podcast. Thank you for keeping it real ❤
I know a few episodes ago you were talking about ruminating on what your purpose in life is and what you're leaving behind? And sometime after that talking about the instant connection and bestie potential you feel with some of your fans you meet? I hope you know how much the Broski report means to all of your Broski nation! And I hope you can find some purpose through what just you being you does for all of us, I always feel seen and cackle so much. Always makes my day a lil better when a new episode randomly drops! Rn I'm laying in bed on a work trip, I miss my home and cats and have spent all day out with new people in new places, but laying here, winding down on RUclips with a new episode just brings me so much peace. Ty queen broski 💚💚
as a young girl who is still learning things thank you so much for the speech about self reflection. i feel so attached to my phone as a way of connecting but still i feel so lonely. when you talked about finding what you like from your childhood and continuing doing it, i realised that i’m growing up too quickly because of social media. i feel embarrassed if i like anything that’s not seen as cool or if it doesn’t fit in to the things people my age like. looking back in time when i didn’t have a phone i was so so so much happier and more confident and that makes me feel really sad. i feel robbed of my childhood by social media and i’m going to not let it consume me anymore, i will delete TikTok for a month and explore new interests and hobbies. thank you brittany ❤️
your comment is exactly what’s going through my mind watching this video, im letting my youth pass me by while i scroll on tiktok 16 hours a day. I’m deleting it as well and I hope I can actually commit to staying off
i quite literally needed this girl talk pod ep so bad today. love you Brittany. you help more people than you could ever know
This conversation about reflecting on what's serving you and letting go of that which doesn't serve you.... getting emotional ab it (and accepting that it's ok to be emotional) .... on Tuesday w the full moon & partial eclipse in Pisces.... I digress. I'm always so thankful for you Brittany for being vulnerable with us, you often reflect things that have been sitting on my soul and just make all of us feel less alone!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!
This episode changed me so much, it made me realize that what you said around 36:00 is true. This is my therapy.
One tip that worked for me to wean myself off scrolling social media at night is charging my phone in a different room all night AND I bought a kindle, so my brain is still like ooo screen time 👹 but I’m actively reading and enriching my brain. Just mentioning in case it helps anyone else!
No forreal. No phone charger in ur room or by ur bed at ALL. Get an alarm clock and plug that thang in elsewhere, preferably somewhere you have to intentionally go get it as opposed to stumble towards mindlessly in the morning.
brittany i'm going through a rough time rn and this podcast honestly gives me so much comfort. i'm constantly rewatching old episodes because it brings me joy. i literally sobbed listening to the episode bc it was exactly what i needed to hear rn🫶 thank you.
as someone who is quite literally so confused about who i am truly and not just situationally, your speech and tears and passion on these topics is so inspiring and encouraging to know that not only am i not alone, but there are so many ways in which you can overcome these feelings and grow into yourself and love that person. thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do and represent.
I’ve recently started listening to audiobooks and coloring while I do at the end of my day instead of scrolling on my phone. And immediately I loved it and felt so much better. And I got upset at first because I felt so good, that I was upset that I didn’t start sooner. But I realized it doesn’t matter, and at least I did it! I’m constantly loving and appreciating you more and more. You deserve the best and so do all of you listening!!! STAND TF UP QUEENS
37:06 aaaaaand I’m sobbing.
god me too.
37:20 this resonates with me so much right now. trying not to tear up at work
Loving the diversity of me laughing about your take on Love Island, crying when you cried, then locked tf in when you talked about art. Truly the queen of duality
literally same
the way i feel like i was hitting a breaking point the past few days and i didn’t know how or where to put my feelings and i come on here and tune into my weekly broski report episode, and now me and my supreme leader and fellow woman in christ miss brittany broski about self awareness and our transitional periods. this woman truly comforts and validates every feeling ive ever had or questioned. ughh i love her with my whole heart🥰🥰
I watch these while doing my makeup and I had to restart today because I started crying. Everything Brittany said was EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. Letting go of things and people who are NOT good for me. I’m trying so hard. Thank you for everything
i love how we go from one tangent to the next in a spiral and i'm locked in, head empty, every time. also the fact that we have such deep and meaningful convos but also talk abt the most random bs is amazing. ur channel is my fav podcast channel to listen to/watch like i love u queen broski
I just started my sober (curious) journey last week and I REALLY resonated with what you said about letting things go that you don't serve you. That some of those things are gonna have claw marks. Not relying on substances is hard, but thinking about reconnecting with the girl I was before I started using motivates me. Sometimes I feel like I completely lost myself. I'm reading, working out, line dancing. I'm doing things I have never tried before and doing the things I used to love to do. I'm becoming more and more myself. I thought what you said was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing stuff like that with us. It makes me feel less alone
just commented the same situation that im about to start and good luck love, we’ll get threw this
Oh no not the ears its gonna be one hell of an episode 😭
This podcast could not come at a better time. Last week i commented that i just got broken up with, and that thinfs were so hard. During this week ive found myself happier than ever, embracing my queer side, new and old friends and just finding myself. Im gaining my sparkle back. Thank you, and all your followers for being such amazing and inspiring people. Hearing Brittany talk about, "i dont know who ill be in 6 months, but i know I'm gonna like her" I feel so much and relate so much. ❤ love you all, take care of yourself
Stopped doing the dishes and came over to watch and cry with you. I love you Brittany, thank you for all you do. You mean so much to me, and I appreciate so much being on this planet the same time you are
so i was raised in a traditional “ man “ household where we weren’t allowed to cry and i legitimately haven’t cried in years and the way this women is so emotionally intelligent just broke me im sobbing i love you brittany so much
one thing i picked up was birdwatching. being outside and sitting with no music, being able to listen to the world around me for a few minutes at a time really centered me. and i’m not saying everyone needs to pick up birdwatching, but that kind of hobby has made a world of difference for me.
I'm currently going through some major life transitions (going to be 27 in October, recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2yrs & moved back in with family) and that self reflection segment was something I really needed to hear. I want to get to know myself again and rediscover things I love and find myself. Thank you, for being so vulnerable and unapologetically yourself. You have no idea how much it means to me and so many others.
I am going to be 27 in October as well! What day is your bday? Mine is the 15th! Hope you are doing well!!
I love when people get philosophical. So many people are bored or uncomfortable with it, but its truly so important. Thank you for being our modern day, slay socrates. I pray that philosophy never dies, as it is truly the one thing that sets us humans apart from animals and plants-- morals, judgement, theories... they should never be shunned, shadowed or banned. That is how humanity loses.
As a young woman in Texas with a background similar to Brittany, who doesn’t have parents or siblings to support or guide me, this podcast means so much to me. I’m going through a really hard time right now, and the moment she talked about letting go of things that do not serve you, I really needed that. You are a truly amazing woman, Brittany lol as much as that means coming from a complete stranger but, I hope you know that. You and Drew fill that need for a big sister I need
So proud of you❤️🩹❤️🩹🫶🏻.
One of the things that I did late last year and throughout this year is doing things on my own to reconnect to myself and actually like being in my own company. So far, I’ve gone to concerts alone, movies alone, done activities alone like drawing, *attempting* to read books of topics I’m interested in, etc. It really has helped but I haven’t found the courage to take my phone/laptop out of the equation for even a few minutes. I know that it’s deteriorating me but it’s my safe space and I don’t really know what to do with that information. Someone close to me drilled into my mind the concept of “magic happens when you’re outside of your comfort zone” but this one is incredibly difficult. I need something to snap me out of this but finding the strength to do it myself is so… uncomfortable. I’m sending so much love to you Brittany !
I did NOT expect this episode to be my favorite episode. I don't even know what love Island is lol, but your comments on reconnecting with yourself and not wasting your potential seriously hit deep. Its beautiful that you have decided to pull us all up with you on your healing journey 💙
The "I think it's raining and I have to go look because I like the rain" made me laugh so hard, I cried even harder. Thanks Brittany for just this entire episode. You're such a beautiful soul and you don't know how much of a positive impact you have on this planet. I'm so thankful I get to listen to you every week.
Today my dad is having surgery to become cancer free. Thank you for being a great distraction from this crazy world and giving people something to look forward to every Tuesday ♥️
Everything is gonna be ok for your dad, for you and your family!!
the citizens of broski nation have your back 🫡
Well wishes ✨
been going through this with my parents for the past few years, hope it all goes well and he has a speedy recovery. ♥ Nap when you're less nervous, it really helps!!!
@@regulardragon I’m sorry to hear and I feel for you. I appreciate the advice more than you know 🩵
I have been working tons of overtime at my job and stress has been really high. I started listening to this on a self care date doing something I’ve never done before. I needed to hear all of this again. Thank you so much for all you do. Feeling love and compassion for myself.
Woke up feeling just a bit off and lost in life. I clicked this thinking it was a full 45 min yap sesh on love Island but the deeper conversation on finding who you are and what you love is what I needed the most and I didn’t even know it. Thank you Brittany for being so raw and speaking from your heart and all of ours.
I literally did the exact same. Was so excited Britt finally watched love island. But also really needed those words from her. I really love her, and the community we have built to allow her to thrive and be our voice. ❤️
I’m so obsessed with this episode. As a recent grad who is lost and confused, it was perfect timing. And I just went to Italy and saw all these works! Thank you, love
I will go back to this episode when needed, to hear your self-reflection again. thank you for being so vulnerable and your truest self, it is extremely brave and takes a lot of confidence. i often feel like i can't be myself or others will judge me or not understand. but being myself is what makes me happy.
Me sobbing through most of this. I'm 28 and I LOVE gyaru and scene fashion/makeup. After listening to you for a while loving things so loudly I decided to give it a shot and wear and the things I've collected in secret to a concert later this month. I come from a small town and I own a buisness there so I've been terrified of indulging in the things that make me happy because if being cringe or whatever. Australia also has a terrible terrible tall poppy syndrome that is so ingrained in our culture, especially in the small towns but I think the younger people are slowly changing. Anyway thanks supreme leader I'll do my best to have a blast
I’m so proud of you, that’s so cool
Needed that 35:40 mark conversation fr
i don’t mean this in any bad, offensive or mean way but i love when you cry. i don’t cry easily, even about things im passionate about and seeing you do it makes me feel like im crying with you 🩷 i love how passionate you are about topics, especially about just being yourself and it truly does motivate me to be a better person and do whatever makes me the happiest version of me 🥹 keep kicking goals, we’re all here for you xx
girl you cant make me cry at work but here i am about to cry cause of every impactful word youve said. I haven't sat down with myself i feel like since covid and college graduation a little more than a year ago. thats like 4 years of my life feeling like im just trudging through water just keeping my head above the surface just enough to survive. Thank you brittany for your powerful words today, and for encouraging me to reintroduce myself to me, and always keeping me company at work.
brittany is the only person that can convince me to watch love island
No literally I kind of HAVE to now
Brittany thanks for this, y'all got me out of a rut, I just keep swapping addictions to shy away from reconnecting with myself. Thanks for reminding me to cherish time with myself. Stay real, spread love ❤❤❤
another thing about social media is that it conditions us to interact with each other through the lens of consumption. i know i have a really hard time calling my friends still and i’ve been actively distancing myself from short form content for like 6 months. 6 months sober from tiktok fr. but it’s hard to actively instead of passively interact with someone else for people who are chronically online and bridging that gap is truly terrifying without a sense of self concept which i’ve had the blessing to be helped with therapy. it’s a difficult, and severely unrecognized culturally, hole to dig oneself out of and i really hope anyone who is in there can find their way out. to anyone who needs to hear this: I BELIEVE IN YOU, KEEP GOING!❤️❤️
The first 17 mins made me more emotional and meant more to me than any church sermon I ever heard when I was a child and religious
Update I’m 37 mins in and I’m gonna cry at work this episode wow
I recently rewatched old videos of myself and my family when we were little. Little tiny kids. Im 21 years old now, and having done that really put into perspective how Im grown. Im real. I was real, that was me, me 19 years ago. And the voice of my youngerself is forever imbedded into my head now and I want to cry everytime I hear her. Ive come so far, and I miss being her, but shes me now, just a little more beat up from life than before. But I know shes proud and I know shes excited that Im who we are now and who we will be. I always loved the things that I have loved as a kid, but going back and revisiting all these things ive loved is so comforting but stings so much. But it still brings me joy. I recently just joined the volunteer firefighter department in my small tiny town, little me is jumping in joy now because I was able to fullfill a small dream for us. And who knows, this may be a new trail for me to hike for my future self :,)
To be completely honest, I was one of those kids (even into college) that always rolled my eyes when I had to learn about art history. It felt useless and stupid to me even though I got good grades in all of my art classes. I will say that as I’ve grown up, I’ve found a mild appreciation for certain pieces of art. You, however, make me actually want to learn about art history, even ones I previously scoffed at. I’m fully engaged and the way you describe it is really enthralling. Thank you for that.
