You weren't entitled, you were sick. Depression is a disease that lies to you. You can't compare trauma, just because someone else's struggles may be different doesn't mean yours are any less valid. ❤
Your worst day is the same as someone else whose worst day may seem "more" bad to you.
So sorry
Pure truth. Thanks for posting and i hope other ppl who suffer from depression can see this
I just want to hug early 20s Katie.
You weren't entitled u were struggling...thank u for sharing it makes u relatable and a role model to others struggling...look how far u have come...
It takes heart and bravery to open up and share the hard things. ❤️
So terribly sad for the loss of Bubbles and hoping you get the answers you need for your own peace of mind.
Thanks for being so real. I like you more with every episode!
I feel like you were telling my story as I listened to you. Thank you for sharing and making us feel like we aren’t alone.
Katie.....Thank you for being so honest. Sometimes, it's ok to not be ok. You are human too! I am so happy that you have found your niche because you are 1 amazing soul!! You are an Angel to the animal world and a blessing to the rest of the world with your knowledge, humor, friendship, love, beauty, kindness and humility. I love your videos! Thank you for being you!!! ❤
I'm looking forward to seeing you all in an escape room! And if possible... do a live for FB with: Katie, Jonathan, Becca, Evan, Abigail, Nate, Matt, and any others you wanna bring along. This would break the internet for sure!!
Very sorry about Bubbles. It is so hard when they leave us, and we don't understand what happened.
Thank you for sharing your struggles. You've surely helped someone else.
Thank you for being so real/raw. Really love these episodes and so sorry about sweet Auntie Bubbles 💕
I love these chats. The honesty, trust, and friendship make them very interesting.
I’m so sorry about your loss of Bubbles. Thank you about being so open and candid about your life, hearing this could help show others life can become clearer eventually. I love seeing you and your staff with the animals. It does my heart good seeing all the babies and the adult animals. Happy Seven is coming along so great and can’t wait for him to come home to his family.
Thank you so much for sharing your struggles. Your story can help others. You are not alone.
Thank you for being so real ❤
RIP 🫧 Bubbles 🫧 you are missed, pretty girl!
Hearing this side of you it makes people realize everyone does go through stuff. Katie you should be so proud of yourself. Your story is a lot like mine and I understand to a point what you were talking about. It’s ok to not be ok 💕 you are a blessing for so many people and as well as me you have made me smile ever since i have found you
I'm sure you could help alot of people talking about depression and food issues. You're doing pretty good!!! I love your channel and love how you love your amimals!!❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry for the loss of Bubbles.
Love hearing more about you all and know you all aren't alone. I hate talking on the phone and get social anxiety as well. I deal with depression and weight issues along with an autoimmune disease. We got your backs cuz your good people with kind hearts. ❤
I appreciate your honesty Katie. I’m convinced we make our lives so difficult, by not being honest with ourselves and then self hate. Urgh! Constant stressors, but the inability to self regulate is huge for me. ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable ❤️
Thank you for being so vulnerable!!!
Y'all are hysterical. Love watching anything that you do.
Katie So sorry to hear about Bubbles. And kudos for the way you are handling Sevens care.
Thank you for being so transparent.
This was good. We all have a back story...I would love to see your folks come on so we could get to know them better.
So brave and kind of you to share the hard things you've gone through. Very relatable but so sorry you went through it.
Please, please keep the Nate Cam! 😂
I don’t know how you deal with all the hate & parasocial people.
Youre so strong. Also Rest in Paradise Bubbles sweet girl 🩷
You realise that only people are unhappy with themselves try to pull others down to their level, they are people who are victims in life, I feel sorry for them rather than listen to what they actually say. They are people who are unlikely to change as they like to make others unhappy rather than be happy for others being happy.
@@stacek90 sure jan
I really enjoy your honest and your videos. Being somebody 22 plus years older than you I look back and I think the same thing. I was in a very bad state of depression pretty much through High School and now I'm starting to realize how bad that was for me. So thank you very much for being so honest and opening up about your life.
OMG I am with you Katie! I do Not like being scared, and I do not understand why some people like that!!
I enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing your story and just being you.
I have have been diagnosed with Severe Recurrent Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety and it has been a roller-coaster ride for sure. Keep being you!
Katie, I love your honesty, even with the hard parts. ❤
I relate so hard to the college stuff. Never have I had anyone describe what I went through while in college so much like what I was going through. Thank you for sharing!
When your depressed you don’t know your there… I don’t think it’s being “sad”. I didn’t know I was depressed until my dr pointed it out to me that I’m weeping in her office. That was 12 years ago. I hope I’m never there again. God doesn’t leave. He helped get me through it. My husband was amazing and steadfast.
Thanks for sharing your story. I hope you feel better now. I love your show. Your so kind.
Thank you girls for sharing your college experiences! Both experiences I think a lot of people can relate to; and it’s so tough when you’re looking at peers who seem to have a straight forward path through school to career. It can feel isolating when your path isn’t so clear. I know I struggled with that in my college years and at the time felt like I was the only one going through it 💕
There is so much pressure to go to college, I think it is going to be good to hear for people to hear that people can struggle, not be as successful in college, but then still find a path after. We need to teach college isn't for everyone, because it really isn't. Plenty of jobs shouldn't require college degrees.
It was fun hearing you ladies college days❤
RIP Bubbles ❤
Sorry for the loss of Miss Bubbles, she was sweet. Long hair you don't want to over wash because it will dry out not only the hair but the scalp as well.
NO!!! I LOVE your hair!!! The color is fantastic and the tones are beautiful.
I can relate to your college experience so much. I’m so sorry this was your experience but so proud of you for how far you’ve come❤️❤️
We need a whole Halloween episode favorite candy movies trick or treat stories favorite costumes all the tea!
You’re doing amazing with your weight loss. You look amazing. I need motivation!!!!
I had a bout of depression right out of high school. I think so many of us have those times in our lives. I think it’s good to talk about it.
Your hair is beautiful!!! I was just at the salon myself and she told me the less you wash your hair the better!!! I'm once a week myself,girl!!!
I can see a difference in Abigail’s personality just through the screen. She has come out of her shell so much!
Sorry for the loss of Bubbles. 😢 I hope you get some answers from the necropsy. It has absolutely helped my hair to only wash it on Sunday’s! I also wash mine twice. Makes such a difference!
Definitely put some dimension in your hair! I don’t think you will regret it!
Love Nate’s contributions and camera side eyes lol
Enjoyed hearing yall learning more about eachother!!
I’m on the pcos train with you! Thanks for opening up and sharing❤️❤️
Have depression and anxiety doesn't make you entitled. It makes you stronger when climb out of the dark place. Love this video of you and Abigail being so raw and true to your life
Im so sorry for your loss❤
It was nice you sharing. I have some of the same struggles. Thank you
Katie, thank you for the deep dive❤ totally enjoyed your interview today was really having a hard day thank you…. Love the makeup 💄 session too
Prayers for a blessed week
So sorry for your loss honey.
An escape room & a haunted house as a charity fundraiser would be funny. Like a donation equals a bet on some aspect of who is likely to do what. 😂
I told you I could tell. I noticed that a difference., Katie! You look fabulous!!
It would be interesting to hear from your parents as a guest of who/how you were growing up and how they think you’re doing with the farm and stuff. I think it would be a different perspective of getting to know more about you, if they’re fine with being on camera of course. Love these episodes and learning more about all of yall!
So sorry to hear
Katie, I’m probably your parents age. I want to say quit beating yourself up. 1. You have PCOS so you know weight, depression etc all goes hand in hand with it. 2. When your in 18-25 yr old range that is where your finding yourself. There’s nothing to be slapping yourself about. All parents support their kids through this process. My daughter joined the military. Had an event in boot camp. Was medically discharged. Came home found out her husband gambled her $$ away and other crap. I supported her through all of it. She moved back home. There’s depression it’s not easy to handle. You are an amazing young woman!! Give yourself some grace 💞 Your beautiful!!
Unfortunately not all parents do support their kids.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I’m with Abigail. I’ve stretched my washings to two weeks.
Same!!! My hair is so much happier for it!
I’m so sorry about Bubbles. Loving these animals can be hard Not a question but I would love if you would sing a little more. Your voice is as beautiful as you are.
I’m in the once a week camp. My hair is also very thick. When it was long it took 3 hours to dry. When you have thick coarse hair, less is better.
Abigail, I am 60 and still don't really do what I went to school for. I have a BA in Studio Art with a minor in art history. I went back to school and became a Veterinary Technician until I got compassion fatigue and went into Veterinary pharmaceutical sales. And I was still just working to support my hobbies of dogs and crafting. Just make sure you put money away for later.
Your bangs were awesome when you had them last year!
When you wash your hair more than once a week, you have to be careful, it tends to overactivate the oil glands! So, you’re doing great with your hair!!
Regarding hair washing, it really depends on your scalp and hair! From experience, personal, familial and with friends, the thicker the hair, the less likely it is to need frequent washing. I've got thick hair and lots of it, and I do a double shampoo and conditioner sit about every 10-14 days. If I wash it too much it really messes up my scalp and my hair 😢
Not forgetting that if you have hot showers, that washes away a lot of the oils and dirt from your hair anyway, but not as much as a shampoo, obvs 😉
I am sorry about bubbles
Your hair is gorgeous!!!! Your pony tail is not nasty!! I LOVE your hair!! I wish I had your thickness and hair!! My hair is thin and fine! Enjoy it!! ❤
Some people's hair isn't as oily as others.Mine is like that, so I don't wash it for several days. Also it depends the hairstyle
Guys I hope we all took a sippy sippy with them ❤ hydration is key for clean skin and less heads aches
Bubbles you will be so missed , loved you 😢😢😢😢😢
I’m so sorry for your loss of Bubbles 😢😢
Same with the hair katie....same....with the hair. I would like to go once a week for my hair. But it is usually once every 2 week. I shampoo twice and let conditioner set❤
I'd like to see your parents interviewed about your young life and did they know you struggled in college and how did they feel about it. It is very helpful to to a lot of people to know you have struggled with mental health issues. I am also an only child and have felt like I was entitled but questioned why am I so unhappy when I was younger.
I am so sorry about bubbles 😢 I felt so sad
I think Abigail has come out of her shell a lot in a year. I don't think she likes talking about herself a lot though. She's an amazing person and just needs to be herself because she's perfect the way she is.
Abigail your hair looks so good in that style!
I am so sorry about Bubbles she was the best Auntie Goatie i will always remember her waiting at the bottom of the slide to catch all her nieces and nephews she was awesome and we will miss seeing her.
These "Katching up with Katies" are becoming like my new fav ... love the podcasty vibe and the conversation.
No doubt you ladies probably helped a few young teens/early 20s feel not so alone in a time where I think lots of us girls feel isolated and are looking for "what to do'? Seems like this day and age we feel we should have it all figured out by 18 and know what we plan to do with our life and most often times we realize that sometimes we don't even know until it literally falls in our lap. Sometimes God just leads us to where we are supposed to go and we end up taking the long way and sometimes rocky route 😉
As for guests I think you should invite your Mom if she wants to do it ... her videos on FB are always hilarious would also love for you to have Becca on again sometime you guys are great and of course we love Abigail tons!
Yes!!! Do an escape room! I don’t think you can film but we would need a recap.
YESS!!! Do the highlights!!!!!! 😍😍
I know you mentioned wanting a change to your hair. Ella Langley has similar hair to you but with curtain bangs and dark lowlights, you would totally rock that
Nate’s face when Katie asked Abigail if she wanted to cut her face off and wear it 😂
Hey I love your videos and TT!!!
Katie & Abigail love y’all’s make up today!!
College itself shattered my mental health and I also struggled with ED and binge/purge cycles with exercise being my purge mode. I don't know how I lived thru it and I couldn't finish my degree. I think my own neuro spicy brain and sensory struggles and lack of direction just destroyed me. I'm healthy (mostly) now and it's nice but from 17 to 22 was a very dark period in my life too.
20 years later, I still am afraid to try to lose some of the extra weight I carry now because I don't want to fall straight into under nourishing myself either.
So kudos to all your efforts to eating better and getting healthier but also making sure it's HEALTHY and not straying into ED land.
Hugs fellow depression and ED survivor. Even as someone who's always lived broke - these things are just as real for more wealthy privileged folk. Your mental health struggles are valid and equally real.
Topic I would like to hear about is baby waylon and your plans for him, how he's doing, and I think an amazing guest would be Katie's momma Terri
You hid the depression because you felt shame where it wasn't needed, it's so hard to open up about it. I lied about how much I was struggling, I made up reasons why I couldn't do things, when I actually started being honest, things got better, shame keeps us from opening up and keeps us in a place of struggling, when you are honest, you find the people who want to support you and help, you find those who understand. You find the friends that are happy for your happiness and are there as support when you need it. You have to help yourself a lot of the time but when you do, people are there. I think like feeling like you are a victim in life can be a part of it, I soon got out of that and that's when my mental health got better. I have a lot of trauma but I have and am working so hard to heal it. My Complex-PTSD will never truly go away but my triggers are a lot less and I'm working on my current triggers. It's a horrible place to be when you feel so low and feel so alone with it, I never want to feel like that again and I really don't think I ever will.
Yup have mentioned guests before. Although seems like we could have heard more about Abigail. Lol You have mentioned barn girls a few times. What are barn girls? What do they do? That also goes back to wondering about people working for you. How did they start there? Do they enjoy working for you? What’s it like?
Your skin is actually really beautiful!
Would love to see your parents and you Pap be interviewed and of course, Jonathan.
I loooove this video! Thank you, both, for sharing your experiences with us ❤
It's huge not knowing what you're going to do, like not having a purpose. It leaves you feeling super empty. It's no wonder you slipped into depression.
I love how normal you are!!
You were young and confused and in a lot of ways lost. It doesn't matter what background you come from, that can happen to anyone whether their parents are rich or if you grew up poor. It doesn't make any less difficult to deal with all those feelings and adjusting to adult life.
After my last bout of Covid I lost so much hair I had to have five inches cut off to start trying to grow again. It had got so thin same for color. Had to darken it to restart the two tone blond
Me too, I had to wear a wig for a short time my hair was so thin. My hairdresser, cut it short and I started a vitamin regime along with a hair growth shampoo. My hair has grown in so much that I mo longer need the wig.
Oh no I get the too healthy hair!! Me too Katie! Mines super thick dark ugh I literally can’t go though 3 days without washing it! I’d be a grease ball!
I didn’t expect to be this early, and HI KATIEEEE!!
15:35 I only wash my hair about every 10 days, my hair is not that long, but I have baby fine hair and tons of it. My hairdresser curses me every time she does it lol.
Your gorgeous hair looks like the most beautiful horse tail
