I really appreciate that you are so open with your mental health struggles/victories. No one owes us this openness, but I can’t tell you how much it helps to know I’m not alone. Also, so proud of you for showing your jeans! I love them 😍
Thank you so much 🫶🏻
I will add to this that medication really helps with OCD. My quality of life went up so much just at the lowest dose. I wish I had started sooner. Life is short we don't need to live with those annoying thoughts. Aside from that cognitive behavioral therapy like what olivia mentions also helps a lot. On medication + cbt changed my life. My version of "tea" is "well it is what it is."
As a therapist, this made my heart swell three sizes. Girl, you are helping us all with your insights from therapy. Reminds me to continue learning from the people I work with. 💜
Olivia thank you so much for sharing your mental health struggles. As someone else who also has massive anxiety, I am so happy I’m not alone. We can all get through this!!!! ❤
We got this! 🙌🏼
Olivia, I am a CBT therapist, and you did such an awesome job of explaining these tools that you use to help yourself with those sticky thoughts. Thank you so much for always being so open and kind.
Yes on the crescent city vlog!! I am so excited for flame and and shadow and we all need more crescent city content in our lives! 😂❤
Thank you for sharing about your mental health. It really helps to hear tips but also know that we are not alone. ❤

Thank you so much for your openness about mental health. As a person that struggles with PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder it is so refreshing to see someone with a platform speaking out and normalizing this. I am also in therapy and think everyone should have a therapist lol. The peace of mind that I brings is just amazing and For those that can’t, the exercises that you bring examples of in your video will do wonders for those that use them and kindness and sharing kindness is top notch… so thank you again.
The way you just explained "sticky" thoughts made so much more sense to me than any other way it's been explained to me. Thank you for sharing, you make everyone in this latte fortress feel so safe
You got me teared up at the end💙. You said that you were thankful for us but Olivia, honestly, you have been so helpful to me and my mental health. I am honestly grateful.
Your chat about mental health and anxiety was exactly what i needed to hear right now. Thank you so much! Ive been struggling alot lately and hearing you talk to articulately about it was quite emotional for me. You are an inspiration (I'm currently doing my teacher training here in the uk because your passion and enthusiasm towards teaching and education in recent years gave me a little push to step out of my comfort zone and apply for the teacher training course!!) You sum up the feeling of having to push through the scary bits so well!! So yeah. I just wanted to thank you for all that you share with us. It helps more than you probably realise.x
it makes me feel so much less alone when you share about your mental health experiences! thank you olivia!!!! 🤍
London Fog Way! I am so happy you are on this planet Olivia. Thank you for your authenticity, transparency and truth. It helps tremendously, andI hope it helps you too in your sharing. You are so wonderful.
Aww, thanks for the outro Jake! What a good boy!
Your jeans look so good…love them!
I was back to my hometown visiting family this week and my mental health/thinking too much about my body has had me feeling uncomfortable. This vlog helped me and comforted me. Thank you, again. Happy to be a part of this community.
Yes yes yes to the CC vlog for all 3 books!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing some of your mental health struggles. Sometimes I feel so alone in this journey, trying to overcome certain thoughts. ❤ I admire you and you inspire the heck out of me!
I love the way you chat to us about mental health. As a fellow sufferer, it helps ❤
Thank you so so much for being so open and honest about mental health. I have extreme issues with my mental health due to my upbringing (not saying lest I trigger someone) but seeing you being so open has helped me be truthful in therapy. It helps me recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health.
The wavy hair is so cute!! 🤍 love these vids while doing random things all around the house and making coffee/food :)
Nothing comforts me like playing my cake matching game and watching your vlogs ❤keep in there, girlie!
Love that! 🫶🏻💛
💛💛 thank you for being so open about mental health your videos really do help me with my struggles
Love the idea of vlogs for crescent city!
Olivia I really needed this vlog tonight. I’m bipolar and I’ve been going through some rough times. I appreciate what you shared. God bless you dear.
Thank you so much for talking about your mental health. The way you described it made me understand mine a bit more and how to cope with it. Free therapy, I love it! 🥰
I just got super emosh hearing you talk about mental health. Thank you for your candor. Your metaphors really made sense & helped put some things into perspective ❤
thanks for being vulnerable with us and sharing your (very helpful) tips/philosophies on thought loops!! redirection is what I've also been working on for years now and it's actually so incredibly helpful. loved this vlog, as always!!!
Thank you for sharing the mental health segment. I'm glad I found you and really enjoy hanging out with you through these vlogs.
And yes to all the parts of CC vlogs! I want to read it so this will be my form of a buddy read!
Oh man, thank you so much for talking about your mental health. Dealing with intrusive thoughts and negative self-talk is so difficult, and I've been trying to learn about how to do exactly what you talk about with acknowledging the thoughts but allowing different neural pathways to form over the top (I don't know if I'm making sense lol) but the way you described it was so clear and helpful
I would LOVE that very long vlog about CC personally! Thank you for sharing about your mental health journey. I am right there with you about avoidant anxiety. Lol
Also, I would like to live on Apple Macchiato Lane. (Can it PLEASE be August 24th already? Lol. I'm getting desperate!
This was really cool especially the last clip! I have OCD thought loops all the time and coupled with anxiety (and am ED) has been really difficult. I love your openness. Be you and explain things how you want. We can’t please everyone.
Also LOVE your long vlogs. The longer the better! You’re amazing!
Aww aren’t you the sweetest! So lovely to share, it’s so hard living with mental health issues.
You’re amazing❤
🫶🏻💛
Your vlogs are so comforting to me.❤- long time watcher, long time lover of all you do. 🎉
Hey Olivia! I humbly encourage you to keep talking about mental health whenever you feel like sharing. You truly illuminate another bookish girl's daily life!
I just want to say thank you tons for being you! I have wanted to start a booktube for ages and I keep getting close to doing it then I let my anxiety and fear get in the way. I want to do it and hopefully I will overcome this fear and take the plunge. I just wanted to let you know that you matter and are doing amazing things! Thank you again. All my love
Thank you for being open and sharing your experience with mental health struggles. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. I appreciate you so much internet book friend ❤
You were so brave and vulnerable at the end!! Love ya girl🥰❤️
🫶🏻💛
edit my own vlog? no. watching olivia's? absofugginlutely
Olivia!!!! I love that you shared your struggles! Us anxiet, ADHA, shortie, mama readers appreciate you and your page! That you for always being honest and bearing your gremlins, it makes the rest of us with our gremlins feel so seen. 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰 pumpkin chai out! 🎤 …😂❤
I also wish I didn’t always have typos… BLAME THE BRAIN GOBLINS!! 😅😅😂😂
This therapist is SO proud of you
The casual throw in of Ryan and Shane at the end 👀👀👀 SHUT UP 💜 I'm so jealous!! I bet it was a blast though and I'm happy you got to experience it!
Thank you so much for your honesty about your mental health journey and for talking about these things. I found what you said to be really helpful for me and I’m definitely going to try to start thinking of intrusive/hot thoughts in the way you talked about 💙
Those dogs 🤗
I wound love one monster long vlog for Crescent 🌙 City.
Yes to the Crescent City Vlog... and super yes to the looooonger vlog
40 seconds in and this is my favorite ever vlog! Can we start every vlog with just a minute of ginger eating??
Oh my gosh I am literally 4 weeks late to this party by mistake - not sure why I didn’t finish this vid before but the “Brandon”/Rachel big brother reference was everythinggggg - I just randomly rewatched that season and it is iconic! The rant to Rachel was done by Ragan lol
Thank you for being so vulnerable
I would be so excited for a 2 hour crescent city vlog!
Thank you for sharing!! I have found that crocheting is what “quiets” my mind and intrusive thoughts - because I have to focus SO HARD on what I am trying to make that everything else just falls away.
Yes, yes, yes to all you said about hot thoughts and how you’re working with them. I’ve had such similar experience and this kind of approach has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing…I’ll definitely come back to this video and watch this part again.❤
Latte Fortress in the house!!! Thank you for sharing about your mental health; we all benefit from it immensely and can relate (OCD/panic attacks/anxiety here). Reporting from Pumpkin Spice Way lol.
Yes!Yes!Yes on the very long vlog on Crescent City!🎉
Gurl, when you started crying, I started crying. Omg. Listen. I love you. I appreciate you so much for being so open and honest about mental health because it's so important to normalize this and talking about it. Mental health issues are not anything to be ashamed about. They're just something we live with. And everyone has their own stuff they're dealing with. Talking about it helps and it's good. It's good for you, and it's good for the people who hear it. Keep up the good work.
Olivia you make me SO HAPPY. Your channel has become such a big part of my self care routine. Thanks for being so vulnerable with your experiences. It inspires me to continue putting myself into the world and making the effort to have a good day on purpose 💕
Catching up on videos so I'm late to the chat but I am currently binging your videos because my anxiety has been so high that I make myself sick...your videos are so relaxing and comforting and help distract me from intrusive/obsessive thoughts...you are always my go to RUclipsr to help me relax and decrease anxiety. So thank you 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much!! 🫶🏻✨
@@oliviareadsalatte 🖤🖤🖤
Your videos bring me such joy and help me through the work day! 🥰 thank you for opening up and being there for us! We ❤ you!
I love that your camera was giving you a nice “pan down” moment as it fell! I want to live in the Caramel Macchiato cul de sac.
Olivia, you are so sweet and honest and just a genuine person. Thank you for being open and vulnerable about mental health, even when it’s uncomfortable. I think it is so important to bring awareness and normalcy to these issues to make people feel less ashamed and more comfortable seeking help. I love all your book content but honestly, it’s the added lifestyle moments and real thoughts that have made you my favorite RUclips channel. ❤
Omg yes this is what I’ve learned to do with my binge thoughts. Just ‘yeah ok’ and move on 😂 53:03
I really enjoy listening to your vlogs! I've struggled in the past listening to other vlogs, yours are the first I've enjoyed.
I came for the books but I stay for the realness. I love how open and honest you are about mental health. It makes me feel like I can make it through anything ❤
No because your mental health conversation is so important. As someone who has struggled it helps to hear you out and it’s so important to put it out there. Not everything works for everyone and it’s about finding what helps you. For me reading and meditation are the only things that help avoid the sticky thoughts as a form of maintenance for my brain before the anxiety.
Oh jeah. The loops. I have thought loops of so many different types.
I have "positive" ones, I'm happy while I think about them but I don't do anything else. For like hour's.
And "negative" ones, they make me sad and anxious. They stop me from everything as well and make me miserable.
A few weeks ago I started meditating, that helps with the angst and I sleep better.
I couldn't sleep well for like 9 months and now with the meditation I can sleep for hours in a row.
And it totally helps to hear your thoughts about your brain goblins.
It's like a self help group, people with the same hurdles have the best tips!! 🤍🤍
Love you 🤍🤍🤍 your the best!!! Don't make me 😭😭😭 hahaha when 🎃☕ gets you out of the loop🎉
And I love the new style of your videos.
Pleeeease do the like really long spoilerfilled vlog, I would love that!!
Yes yes yea please to the re read vlog!! I am about to start crescent city and I would love a pseudo book club with you!!!
My big three is all water (Pisces, Pisces, cancer) so the end was very relatable lol 🥹
Rachel and Brendan were on The Amazing Race and the I giggled so hard when you brought them up 🤣
Thank you so much for creating such a comforting space with your channel. I also love how open you are about your mental health and what you are learning through your experience with that. It has really been a help for me as well as I continue to grow from my own mental health struggles.
I really appreciate it when you share about your mental health, it helps to know that other people understand :) Great video Olivia :)
I’m living on Iced Vanilla Drive, please and thank you 😅 ALSO I admire you for talking about your mental health. It’s not easy to do! Especially with an audience on the internet. One thing that’s really helped me is viewing meditation with a wider lens. Like I have a huge dislike for “proper” meditation lol, but I’ve found doing puzzles to be a very mediative process, if that makes sense? I think finding things that calm your mind, even if they’re not the “ideal” method, is just about what works for you yanno? I’m sure some people hate puzzles hahah so I think viewing it as a trial and error process to find what works for you helps a lot. But I’m definitely no expert, otherwise we just wouldn’t have an issue hahah
olivia i love you so so so so so much, and i love your honesty and openness with us! as a fellow mind goblin haver, i love hearing your thoughts and experiences and i relate to so many of them ! it feels nice to have a corner on the internet where so many people understand what i go through and are so nice and sympathetic about it !
This little corner of the internet will always be here for you and your goblins 🫶🏻
Yes, to the longest vlog ever with Flame and Shadow 🔥
Thank you for sharing what you do to help your anxiety. I'm always trying new things to combat it and I'm sure it was so hard to work up the courage to not edit it out. Your videos are something I so look forward to and I relate so much. I think you're just the coolest human. ❤️
WE LOVE YOU OLIVIA. Thankyou for sharing. Your videos always make my day and lifts my mood.
I just want to say that you talking about your mental health finally mobilized me to make the eye appointment I have been meaning to make for weeks but couldn't because of anxiety. Really appreciate the push!
From France, thank you so much Olivia, talking about health (mental, anxiety) seriously you’re helping so many people 🥹(and me too, ‘cause I’m like that too 🥲)!!! And I like your shoes 👍🏼
Please do the long Crescent City vlog, I would watch the whole thing no matter how long it was!
i was literally cooking when you said that you liked your vlog because they are listenable :) also, i would love a full spoiler vlog of CC just because I want to remember them accurately when reading flame and shadow but I'm scared to reread because they are soooo chunky ahah
I love being a part of the Latte Fortress. Thank you for opening up and sharing with us about your struggles. I would be a part of the Pumpkin Spice Latte village and also visit the White Chocolate Mocha village.
Heheh latte fortress, thank your for reminding me I called it that 😭😂🫶🏻 I love these names!!
I would live on flavored cream cold brew avenue 😂 Thank you so much for being so open about your anxiety. ❤❤
Soooo glad you didn’t delete this clip!!!!!!
I would like to live on Spiced Chai Latte Avenue. 😄
Love that Ginger got to have the spotlight and be spoiled by your video's sponsor. 🐈🐱
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on anxiety. I have it as well so it was great to hear. On another note, yes on the full reread of Crescent City !! I’ve read Earth and Blood and will eventually read Sky and Breath. I enjoyed the first one and am excited for the second one.
Thank you so much for sharing about your mental health. I struggle so much with my OCD and anxiety in general and hearing you talk about it makes me feel less alone. I hope I can be able to manage my emotions eventually. My brain is stubborn af. 😂😂😂
P. S. I really love your children. I enjoy your vlogs so much because I get to see them more. Thank you. ☺️
Your brain may be stubborn (mine is too), but you’re stronger than it 🫶🏻
@@oliviareadsalatte hopefully I can say that soon. Let’s both do our best. Thank you ☺️
You are such a beautifull soul!!❤❤❤...I would love the cresent city vlogs❤❤
I ordered the Kitty Town decaf after this video because I’ve been looking for a non-disgusting decaf. It’s great! I ordered it espresso grind and just pulled my first double shot with it. Thank you for the recommendation!
Yes!! This helps so much with my anxiety as well!! I have been practicing the exact same thing where I acknowledge the thoughts when they come up and then continue doing what I’m doing or do something to distract myself or something I enjoy. It helps so much to hear that others do that too and it helps. Thanks for sharing!💖
I had to work SO HARD to keep myself from having so many thoughts at night when I’m trying to sleep. I work at 4am so I had no choice but to figure out how to get rid of my thoughts at night. Working out is so helpful for me but I can also EASILY convince myself not to go. Lol.
That puppy face!! 💗
Love to you from pumpkin chai tea lane ❤🎃🫖
WE ARE LITERALLY ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH. I’m reading Powerless rn and Fair Catch is on my tbr this month. 😂
I wanna live on Iced Americano lane! Love you, Liv!!
When you said Einstein Bros I got whiplash memory because we don't have them in TN but we had one on campus at the University I went to and it was legendary for being busy but delicious.
Second you were talking about acknowledging thoughts with "Okay thank you" as a tool for anxiety. It's interesting you say that because I use that tactic with my dog (HEAR ME OUT) and myself. So, my dog is a 3x herding dog. She's a red heeler, Australian shep, and great Pyrenees mix. 3 times the herding dog, 3x the constant head on a swivel and alertness. She is ANXIOUS all the time because of her genetics and "needing" a job to do. So she barks a lot. Not aggressively, but as HEY MOM HEY LOOK AT THIS.
Nothing I did helped until I started saying calmly "Okay, Cassidy, I see it. Thank you. Thank you very much."
And honestly, it works. Every time. So this is a peak strategy because not only does it calm my anxiety, but also hers. I support this, support your talks on mental health, and support you. Hope you're having a good day and a better one tomorrow
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about thoughts. My daughter is 15 and struggles with intrusive thoughts and obsessive loops; I had her listen to your advice and it really resonated with her. I think it also helped her to see that she's not alone in this, and her brain cage has a trap door she can escape out of. ❤🙏❤
I had to cut out sugar a couple of years ago, including honey, which is what I used in my tea, and my husband got me into drinking really good black coffee. I can't go back to starbucks unless I want something fluffy or like a chai or something. Once you get on the at home coffee game there's no going back lol
I’ve always felt that words are really powerful and we never know which ones will affect others so i only talk talk about positive things because there’s already a lot of negativity in my life and I don’t need more. I wanna spread positive vibes. That’s how I handle my mental health as I easily fall back in my dark place even with a hint of a reminder of my trigger
I just got the Starbucks pumpkin spice creamer at the grocery store the other day if you’re hunting an early pumpkin spice fix
Thank you so much for being vulnerable with your therapy/mental health journey!! I just very recently started therapy (1 month in) and am learning how to deal with those intrusive thoughts. Thank you for the tips and opening up with us! It doesn’t feel so daunting when you know other people are going through similar things and working through them, love your videos 💛
i would loooove a spoilery crescent city vlog
ty for always making my tuesdays better! your vlogs are my fav ❤
YES I also use “sticky” as the metaphor for my intrusive thoughts!! I’ve never heard anyone else is that metaphor. It’s more of a mind state than the thoughts themselves. When it’s the worst I tell my partner that it’s like I’m covered in syrup and literally anything that is said to me can stick and become an issue. Even things that seem innocent become horrible evidence of some sort of thought loop. The workbook Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life is helpful for me-it’s based off acceptance and commitment therapy.
I am so grateful that you decided to leave that clip in. It was so comforting to hear some else who is also going through mental health struggles and learning about their anxiety. I am too still coming to terms and understandings about my own anxiety. I always look forward to your videos.
I am not a coffee girly 🙈 but I would be on the hot chocolate lane or the tea pot village 😊❤
Thank you so much for being open and vulnerable with us. It takes true bravery to do what you just did. 🫶🏽
