Music from RUclips and Epidemic Sound
I want to gently add that for so long women were told that their births didn't matter. Healthy baby was the ONLY thing that mattered. In reality, the way a woman gives birth effects her physical, mental, and spiritual health in the postpartum period and how she parents! Studies have shown that decades later, women are still impacted by their childbirth experiences. Women in their 80s can often recount details of those days. People can have "good births" in all kinds of ways...from an unassisted home birth to a planned c-section and everything in between. The most important factors are very personal but usually include being heard, feeling supported, and having freedom to move as needed.
THIS is so very important. I had an unplanned non-emergency C-section and was induced and I so badly didn’t want any of that. Well actually, I didn’t mind any of it. And actually my first feelings about the birth day after a positive test were that a scheduled C-section would be ideal. I felt so much pressure in the following 8-9 months to have her at home that by the time the day came it was an induction, then a hard labour, then I begged for a C-section. This all sounds fine right? No. The sadness and guilt I felt over not having her at home and being induced and not being able to do it myself was worse than anything else. And it took a lot of reflection and soul searching to remember my first feelings and natural desire was to have a C-section. I was okay with it until so many people told me it was not okay and THAT is the problem!
One thing I would like to see in the fashion world is a return to modest maternity clothing. At age 65, I am fatigued of seeing women with their pregnant tummies in skin tight clothing! We're happy for you, mommies, but we don't need to see all of that! Now, I'm not talking about dresses and tops by Omar the Tent Maker! I'm talking about styles that are looser, more draped, more modest....maybe clothing that has some expansion panels within it on the sides or something. There's got to be a way to do this. Megan, if you've not designed maternity clothes, maybe you can do so. It would help alot of women. Thanks for always being an example of modesty and beauty!
I think your clothing designs are great. To me, your clothing line is like your personality. Jumping into a modern world but with modesty. Holding onto secure roots but not squeezing onto those roots. Seeing how fare you can explore with modesty but maintaining modesty. Yes. Modesty is beautiful. Modesty is comfortable. Modesty is creative. And people don't have to drop morality for fashion, they should apply modesty in fashion.
32:46 Don't let anyone shame you for having babies in the hospital! That's very valid.
The secret to making mashed potatoes fast and easy is not peeling the potatoes and cutting them in smaller cubes. I don't like mashed potatoes with the peeling, but cutting them smaller made it so that we couldn't tell the difference. It's so much faster now!
I love that Evonni says she feels like a president in her new dress. So modern & adorable ❤️❤️
Love your view on labor and delivery! “Just want a healthy baby”. Our world is so caught up in the whole birthing process, and so opinionated.
Sounds like you haven't had a traumatic experience. :) I'm glad for you.
Right I can't believe how some women attack others! I say my daughter came out through the sunroof. That shuts most people up! 😂 a baby in your arms at the end of it all is all that matters!
@ElizabethH-cy1gq wait kind of horrible passive-aggressive statement was that? There's no need for it you have no idea what she's has/hasn't gone through. Although you did just prove her last sentence!
@@ElizabethH-cy1gq not sure what you consider traumatic, but I went through 15 hrs of labor and then an emergency C-section. Have had two more c sections after. Yes it was traumatic but Im so thankful for good Drs and nurses that helped me through the process!
I had a home birth and even I think this. It's like one day (possibly a few days if you're unlucky) out of your life. 🤷
Thank you for creating cute modest simple clothing! I’m a teacher and STRUGGLE finding cute simple things to wear that don’t have distracting patterns or low necklines. I hate wearing pants and we have to look professional, which means either dresses, skirts, or slacks. I’m always on the look out for solid color pieces to add to my wardrobe, which it can be so hard to do if you don’t like patterns. I’ll be getting some of these pieces to add to my collection of go-to’s! Thank you thank you!
Megan your videos are great. I’m 74 years old and even though I’m in a different stage of life I still get a lot of inspiration. I’m even going to order one of your dresses. The light beige long sleeve pencil skirt. I’m going to get one of those shapers for under it so I look smooth. I’m going to rock it. I never buy new clothes so you must have made quite a impression. I like that you send Evonnie to school. You can tell she really enjoys it.
1. The collection is gorgeous. The Mommy and Me pieces are divine!
2. Homeschool Mom here, loved your answer. Let’s all just encourage one another and be good stewards of what God has given us. I have friends and family that are more the ones being judgmental of me, but that’s OK! I’m living my life, not them 😅
3. So happy the podcast is back! 🎉
Hi Meghan, thank you for this wonderful Q&A!
I would love for you (and Jayna, if she is interested) to do a whole episode on loving on your husbands and being wives as well as mothers- I feel like that is something one can lose focus on when children are around and days are busy. Thank you and God bless!
I 100% agree with you about keeping some things in your life more private (i.e., maybe not wanting to have your kids be on camera so much as they get older) and not finding it necessary to share every single detail about yourself, your kids, and | or your life. Funny story (well, not really funny but just more a sense of irony) ~~~ I was watching a fall decorate video last week on another RUclips channel and she showed this wood cutting board that she then mentioned was a housewarming gift that has her families last name engraved into the wood. She had turned it around in some sort of attempt at privacy or anonymity. But in her videos she has shared (and in some regards I feel over shared) her husband's name, her kids' names, the city and state where she lives, the exterior of her home, all of the new decor and furniture pieces she has purchased to decorate their new home, etc. And I had left a comment about how I felt it was weird (not sure if that is the right word) how she shares all of this other stuff but flips the cutting board around when filming to keep her last name private. And in my comment I had said that with all of the information she has openly shared, if someone were so inclined to put pieces of that information into a Google search they could literally find out her last name, her address, her phone number, what her husband does for a living, etc. And someone left a reply that I sounded creepy and why did I find it important to know her last name. And none of this is true ~~ I am NOT some random internet creep nor do I find it necessary to know her last name. I left the comment merely as a wakeup call to not over share if she has privacy concerns because we live in an era of high technology that can be both a blessing (our best friend) and a curse (our worst enemy). So if you want to maintain your anonymity then choose some elements of caution. With RUclips and social media being such huge platforms, we all just need to learn to be careful about what we are sharing, how much we are sharing, and whom we are sharing it with. So I definitely think you are extremely smart to be protective of your kids and how much you are putting them in your videos.
HI Megan. First, I love your channel. I wanted to tell you something about my life. I"m 66 years old and was raised Catholic. I found out about 5 years ago that my maternal grandfather was Mennonite. I was very close with my maternal grandparents and whenever I watch your videos, I think about them. Thank you for your channel!!
Thank you SO much for designing modest clothes. You really GET the buttons and the neckline problems that it appears most mainstream fashion designers don’t get. And also, ~what some modest companies don’t get is we want beautiful items not just heavy coverup cloaks ~. I will be checking out your designs for sure!
Love inheritco! Also love your collabs! I am definitely looking up some of those dresses and tops!
Love the clothing line. I can tell you put tons of thought into the pieces.
Love your collection! can't wait to order!!! Congratulations Megan 😊
Thanks for the relatable videos, Megan! Love you, girl! You make everyday so special always and I love that this just a cozy little chat between all of us and you! It's amazing! It feels so nice! You go and be you, babe! Happy Fall!
I love your Videos ❤ and especially the Q&As🤗
Have loved your content lately. So cozy & cute. 😍
Congratulations on the Chasing Golden Hour Collection. Including the Bibles was a great touch. The collection is right on with your style. I wish you much success and hope the ladies and young girls you help influence enjoy it. God is proud of you. 📖💃
Wow sister. Thank you so much for sharing your 'I don't care I just want a healthy baby' point of view. I am a first time pregnant mamma and I have not come across that point of view yet. Everyone is just bashing hospital births and how horrible they can be.. I am very refreshed by your neutral take on it. It makes me feel less nervous about however mine may go.
Yes I agree. I’ve had 2 births at the hospital and the nurses and doctors were so helpful and supportive. No need to act like they are a bunch of communist bullies. Good luck with your labor ❤
I have 3 children and had all 3 at the hospital my first 2 were induced and my last was completely natural at the hospital. All I can say is educate yourself and know what to expect from every outcome. I was blessed with wonderful staff all 3 times. Not every birth story is the same.
Oh these pieces are beautiful and love the mommy and me !
Watching you and seeing your children’s happy faces brings joy to so many 😊❤
You never cease to amaze me! Your Q&As are the best!
Amazing video. You covered so much and I loved that. Your energy level is amazing and your upbeat personality is wonderful and infectious. LOve the clothing items.........beautiful all of them. Wish I was much younger and could wear some of those. They are right on! Have a blessed day and weeek.
Blessings and stay healthy!
I love and appreciate your videos so much, I feel like we are besties and I’m so thankful for you and your honesty. ❤❤❤❤ cannot wait for the honey I’m homemaker videos too. All the love from a momma in fl!
I love listening when I'm cleaning!
Really cute collection! Caught the Live. Adorable!
You are so talented! Your collection is SO cozy and aesthetic!
Congrats on the collection!! I can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into making each piece!!
I love love love all of the clothing you’ve designed! While I am definitely going to look at all of your collection I just have to have the Carolina dress! It is absolutely stunning! Everything about it is gorgeous. You are so artistic and so talented. You should be very proud of your “Chasing Golden Hour “ collection. Also I am sure you have heard this before but your enthusiasm and love of life is so contagious. Your videos always make me either smile, laugh or both! Thanks for being you!
I love your videos!! So easy to listen to. ❤ Congratulations on "chasing golden hour!!👏🏼 Im always so excited for your next video to come out . I watch them while i do dishes and see if i can get my dishes done before the end of the video!!😂 you're really inspiring!
Can’t wait to sport the Chasing Golden Hour sweatshirt as a Birth doula… definitely here for golden hour ☺️
Golden Hour is the best hour...I love taking photos at this hour. Best channel ever!!!
I love your clothes designs, you have great taste 👌 ❤ I bought some clothes from your golden hour and I can't wait to get them!😊
Love love these girl talks. 💕😊
Thank you so much Megan for designing a beautiful, modest clothing collection! I've been looking forward to your "Golden Hour" collection launch for months! I just ordered several pieces from Inherit and can't wait to get them in the mail and start mixing and matching! 😀
I love the new collection! 🧡 You definitely inspire me! Such a great example of life and work “balance” as a momma. ✨🍁
All of my schooling was a private Christian school. It was a great experience for me and my sisters❤
That is such a dream to design a clothing line! ✨ Congratulations Megan! I love that you put so much thought into the modest styles. 🙌
Lovelovelove this collection. My wardrobe probably wouldn't be considered especially modest, but these are pieces anyone can appreciate! And I love the attention to detail with respect to modesty, e.g. the buttons being sewn shut and the 3/4 length sleeve - everyone deserves fashion that they feel comfy and confident wearing!
Love Megan upload days!!!!
Your clothing line is tempting me to add to my minimalist wardrobe😍😭🤣
Megan, I sent my daughter to a private Christian school starting age 5 thru high school. It was a Wisconsin Lutheran school system.
I think Josh as a contractor is the best job because he can schedule the way he wants to work around family vacations and holidays. His skills in construction are so marketable and practical.
We sent our kids to Wisconsin Lutheran school, too.
Such a fun chatty video. Your point about just praying for a healthy baby and being pragmatic about how to get to that point is so refreshing. I am a mama of four children aged 12 through 3; for medical reasons on my part, I delivered all four by planned caesarean under general anaesthetic. I have received much derision for this over the years, which I think is such a sad indictment on the amount of mommy shaming that goes on.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! It's all so cute! I wish I could buy it all.
Loved your answer to the schooling question. Its definitely a very personal decision that needs to work for each family. Just like the hospital birth question, we all need to do what works best for us, and fits our goals. ❤ Your clothing line is SO beautiful and perfect for this season! Loved the golden hour theme!! ❤
Your chasing golden hour sweatshirt looks so soft and comfy!! I adore the fact that you dress modestly but still so chic.
....3:50 is sooo beautiful! Thank you, Megan and Josh..." Golden Hour" ..you're right, a perfect time of day.
Your clothes are so pretty love watching your channel very beautiful family. Have a blessed Thursday.❤❤
Exciting on the collection! I love the nsme, it reminds me of my friend who lives in California on the beach, she has epic golden hours.
I am into sustainability and sustainable fabrics like linen. I also have a minimalist wardrobe not only for my sanity but my wallet and the environment! I do love the pieces you have created in your partnership! I hope it goes wonderfully for you!
I like that winnie black skirt with pockets. I am in hot climates traveling around SE Asia for this upcoming next year so it wouldn't make sense currently.
I'm loving your RUclips content. I took a break for about 6 months and im back and the music and editing is getting better and better! I am glad you are enjoying it because I enjoy watching!!
I love your collection with Inherit! I want it all. ☺️
Love the Winnie! I have a few pieces from Inherit and love the quality. I would love the button down in more colors😊
White boots can be cleaned with the Mr Magic Eraser.
I want everything in the clothing collection. Also, Thank you for your thoughts on schooling. It was refreshing to hear you say you’re not going to necessarily advocate one over the other. Public, private and homeschool all have their place. We’re private Christian school over here :)
The new clothes are wonderful!
That dress is just beautiful! I love modesty, femininity, and wearing dresses!
You are the best Megan! 😊
That jumper though ❤ love how you put so much thought into each piece!
Just bought my daughter and myself matching dresses and a few other items from your collection! Super excited to get them! You did a great job with the whole collection. ❤
I love the attention to detail you put into your designs! Even the slightest things can make a difference in comfort and modesty.
God continue to bless our beautiful and talented sister Megan, xoxox
Loved your chats. Such great content
Congrats on the clothing line! I'm excited with you😊 even if I wear my own homemade dresses.
Like how you get excited about modest fashion 🙂
It's contagious!
I love, love, love your pumpkin bread recipe!!😃Ever since I found you on RUclips I have made it every autumn!! 🍂It's now a tradition!! ♥ Love it and highly recommend it!🙂
I love your videos. Thank you! I do homeschool, but i definitely agree that its sn individual decision and there are a lyof factors involved. Its not right for everyone. You're doing a great job:)
The clothing collection is beautiful!
I was raised to wear slips underneath my dresses and skirts. I absolutely can't bring myself not to.
Just wear trousers then.
LOVE the bell sleeved sweater. 😍
Thank you so much for being honest about the schooling issue. I’m the same. We send our children to a wonderful local school that is connected to our church. I also follow a lot of home schoolers and feel like there is so much criticism of mums that send their children to school. I would love to hear more your school journey and how you still support her as she goes to school and her education at home ❤️
I am SO excited to be decluttering my wardrobe and replace things with more modest clothing! I loove thrifting & second hand shopping of all kinds. But when my budget can include splurging im going to inherit. Its out of my comfort zone.. but honestly all I wear is black shorts & black shirts. Idk what happened but everything I own is black! I want to look nice & be an example for my baby girl.
How cute you make everything look makes me feel like I can find the right piece for myself as well
Yes it's so nice we can find what works for each of US! We all have different preferences, tastes, needs, body types, and budgets! That's what makes it fun!
We love the meal in the pumpkin!
Thank you so much Megan. Your clothing collection is beautiful. Just bought a few of your items. So thankful I found your channel. May the Lord bless and keep you 💝. Prob.3:5,6
Megan, I love your collection with Inherit. The pieces are so beautiful!! When I have some extra cash, I need to order a few items. I work as a teacher; so the items would be perfect, even going out with friends, the pieces would be perfect! Megan, you were so funny when you said, "Don't keep it PG with your husband1" Love ya! Looking forward to the Homemaker podcast! :)
The clothing line is beautiful. This Golden Hour is one of my other favorite YT channels. Neat! ☀️
Gorgeous line! Im waiting on that floral skirt to get restocked! The prices are perfect and I can't wait to add a few pieces to my wardrobe.
I love your clothing. It's beautiful and modest. I hope to someday make a timeless classic wardrobe capsule ❤
I love having a capsule wardrobe, but I keep all of my other stuff too as back up! I just can't quite commit!
Thanks!
Thank you 🥺💕
I looooove the black sweat shirt skirt!!!
I am so excited to finally see the clothing line! You are such an inspiration and really bring joy into my motherhood. All the simple joys you point out and this collection just is icing on the cake! Thank you for all you hard work!! ❤
Simple joys! Exactly!
@@MeganFoxUnlockedok here is an update! I ordered the Carolina and a matching dress for my youngest daughter and when it came my older daughter (9) really wanted one too ❤ So I ordered her one and the sweatshirt AND the Farrah skirt!! I am not much of a skirt wearer but it’s SO comfortable I know it is going to be a staple in my wardrobe!! The sweatshirt is heavenly, it is like a hug !! Anyway LOVE it all !! Thanks again!
Yes please talk about the private Christian school!! I went from public school my while life to PCC for college and learned about Abeka and I really want to enroll my children but I'm up in the air because I don't know much about it. Thank you so much for sharing your life and videos they are my favorite ❤
I love this video! I am newish to your channel, and love your honesty! I love how real you are about being a better wife. Seriously, we could probably all do better (I know I can!!) And you are so right about men! Loved this!
As a total random side note, your bedroom is so beautifully done. Do you mind (if you have time) sharing where your bed is from? Thanks!
Just watched your mennonite Q and A from 4 years ago and wow.....look how far you have come and how professional you are now compared to then and you are even designing your own fashion 🎉🎉🎉 You can be so proud of yourself!!
The only part that made me smile is that you said there: I don't usually wear make-up and we mennonites don't care much about our appearance.....well I guess you have come a long way in that topic, too....😅
i’ve been enjoying your content for years. just wanted to say that you’re my comfort creator and I’m glad you’re having fun creating videos as I’m having fun watching them.
we live such different lives but I love seeing you find bliss and general peace. we don’t have seasons here so i live vicariously through you for all things cozy
the clothes are cute but I’d simply melt where I live in the Caribbean. ill be counting on your spring 24 collection 🫡
also want to mention that parochial schools are incredibly common here.
they’re often the only option outside of public schools as non-Christian private schools cost at least $1,000 per month 😅
I was induced 2 times with pitocin (out of 4 labors with NO pain medication) and I loved the inductions better than no pitocin labors. I guess my body needs a little more stimulation. The labors were shorter and I felt like less painful with more progress quicker. You absolutely can do pitocin without epidural ❤️👍!
I think as RUclips viewers many may not always realize that content creators don't always capture their video in one take. How challenging it must be to aim for that goal. That said, I think successful creators such as you, Megan, obviously become more adept and polished over time. I appreciate your honesty in stating that even though you appear full of energy non stop, you are like any other busy Mom who needs to stop and refill your cup.
Great going Megan you and your daughter make such a beautiful pair you both look beautiful.
I absolutely adore the whole collection and I wish I could afford to buy everything I want. Great job on the designs. 😊
You are by far my favorite U-tuber..🥰
Love love the dress!! I wish it was full length sleeves as I cover to the wrist, still love it congrats on your collection ❤
Beautiful clothes line 😊 great video Megan love your content ❤
Your clothing line is beautiful. You are so talented. And I think you are doing exactly what you should be doing in life.❤❤❤ I am not necessarily a “modest” girl, but I would definitely wear all of your pieces
Very nice! I LOVE the length of the jean skirt
🍁🍂Recipe for the slushie
Thanks
Great youtuber, thx for posting!! :)
Congratulations on your own clothing line! I will grab something soon.
hey girl- Love the video!😀😉 The clothes are so nice and stylish! I really like the denim skirt with the buttons😁 So cool! Enjoying your videos. 🥰
Your modest clothing line is so cute!
Clothes look lovely! Also would love a marriage themed Honey I'm Homemaker!
Literally planning a trip to Lancaster with my sister in laws solely to check out these neat shops you mention! Calico Creek is definitely on that list 😮😮
