Notes about this video:
- 500GB, not 500MB of footage for desert island video
- moved in with my mum Sept 2020, not 2021
This video was a bit more sombre than my previous update videos.
I was concerned it was a little too __ at times.
But I have to stay true to what has happened and how I feel (I'm also just coming out of a tough section of work so you may have seen that in my eyes)
I often think about how it will be reflecting back on these videos in many years, seeing how things develop and change.
As always, thank you for your support.
Dear Laura, please don’t cry. I have fallen in love with you and can’t bear to see you sad. Sadly I am quite sad and uptight. My lovely adult children are arranging therapy for me. Xx
OMG the 500 MB thing simply "killed" me I knew it was GB and lost 4-5 minutes after that ... will have to rewatch.
Another brutally honest video, it's refreshing, I really hope these appease the all mighty algorithm and you get the appropriate reaction to it.
All the best and have a nice weekend !
This honesty of yours is what keeps me coming back.
I've checked and you don't have a patreon and I think you should. There is no shame in it - it's not a charity case for someone who doesn't need it. It's a way of supporting the key creator that you've become for some of us.
The mood was grounded and confident, not negative at all
Centered, real, and deeply honest is your winning algorithm to me. All those changes and challenges shared authentically are what draw people in, and holds them here. You make connecting through a digital platform look easy!!!
Congratulations on the home front! I'm sure you'll find a way to capture the funds necessary for a down payment, digital products perhaps?
Also, ayahuasca in Peru sounds like a dream! Life-long goal to get there. I went with my daughter on a school trip in 2016, so I could not partake, but I still want that experience and would prefer it within a traditional setting with a credible healer. Someday. Perhaps you'll inspire me to go!!!
Warm Regards,
Sparky
(aka crazy cat lady who is still waiting for a Charlie Video)
The most honest channel on RUclips. You should be very proud of what you have done.
Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Don't concern yourself with the number of videos others make, because the quality of your content is unparalleled.
100% agree. I would rather see your high quality content than most of the videos creators put out daily or several times a week.
I don't have time to watch updates several times a week. I mean I do have a life 😂 so your output is fine with me. I enjoy them and your presentation. Well done. Quality over quantity every time.
Agree. One of my favorite channels. Excellent content
Have to agree that “unparalleled” is spot-on!! - I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon her channel today … even though I seem to be leaking a lot from my eyes for some reason as I binge my way through her videos 😊 - I know very well why that is >> all comes down to needing the same - since even though on paper my life seem to be all I ever wanted - the reality is that I’m not happy ❤
🙏
You make so many great videos, but I think the main reason your channel is doing well is YOU. You have such a wonderful personality and your honesty is so refreshing 😊
You are so likeable. For me it seems like the topic does not matter that much, it's just nice listening to you. You're sincere and seem like a kind person. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you Max 🙏
I second this. The C4 survival advert came on the previews for Barbie in the summer last year - your face popped up and I accidentally blurted out to my actual friend, "Oh, it's my friend from YT!". You're that likeable you have friends you don't even know 😂
Yes, this!!!
Laura, you are one of the honest people on youtube
Stay awesome
In my last year of 'Working For A Living' I made approximately $80,.000 US. To get it, I worked 10 hours a day, five days a week. I ran a crew of 12 mechanics, some of whom loved Trump with a passion bordering on they psychotic. I worked for an entitled rich bastard who was never happy with anything, in a shop that was on the verge of being shut down by the Fire Department. I quit a few days short of my 60th birthday to start my own business. Never looked back.
Your videos are a refreshing change from my usual habits. From the rat-a-tat delivery of "Project Farm" to the Stooge-like antics of "Junkyard Digs" I guess I prefer a bit more vitality in my viewing.
And Time spent with you is time well spent. You're calm, honest and growing. Your accent is mesmerizing. Keep up the good work!
What a brilliant and kind comment! Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Why bring Trump into this? Suffering from TDS?
Love Your videos
Your psilocybin video randomly popped up in my feed last night, and I was immediately captivated by both the quality of the video and by your authenticity. I had liked it and subscribed to your channel before I was done, and I can't wait to work my way through your content! Keep doing what you're doing. Your channel is very refreshing! ✨
Quality is much better than quantity ! Keep up the good work !!!
Ideas. Tour of your new home, tour of your village. Q and A with your mom, personal products and clothing likes, favorite foods, restaurants, your childhood. So much to talk about! And we will be listening😍
Your videos are worth the wait. These aren’t just videos, they’re rather complex personal projects, and it’s so interesting to see how things turn out. I admire how you stick with things that you start. Your content is high quality and so worthwhile. Keep up the awesome work! ❤
Congratulations on the house. 🎉
And I appreciate that you only seek sponsors from companies for products you know and trust. Integrity counts!
Hi Laura! There are so many reasons I love your channel. It is not just the entertainment part of it, it's for who you are and how you present the information. It's for your honesty, for your open mind in trying things and for you being so brave and open your heart in front of the camera. I know you have the resistant factor when creating but I tell you, you definitely was born to be a RUclips star and thank you for not sponsoring products you don't know and don't trust.
So awesome to follow you from the start Laura and to see how far you’ve come and how far you’re still going to go! 💪
Stefan! You star! 🌟
Thank you for being such a great friend, and for introducing me to digital templates. Wow! That honestly was a life-changing lesson 🙏
What I appreciate most about you is your authenticity and willingness to be vulnerable and get way out of your comfort zone. You're building something special on your channel, so please take care of yourself so that you can reap the rewards of your hard work and keep growing in every way. ❤
Just remember that your honesty, vulnerability, and openness is integral to your channel's success, perhaps something lacking in the conventional wisdom from other creators, so take their advice with a grain of salt - what works for them may not translate. There are enough fake people on youtube.
Suggestions for new videos: Instead of expensive or exotic cures that are outside of most people's budget, can you do more videos on things within most people's budget and limitations. Use your own current distress as a clue because there are a lot of single people struggling. Pets for companions? Gardening for health and healthy foods? Art expression? Music therapy routines? Walks in the park for nature therapy? How to make human connections through mutual interests/ hobbys? Nesting by creating warm and comforting rooms in your home? More cooking videos! BTW, walking a midsized dog in the park is the easiest way to meet eligible partners that are neither gymrats nor couch potatoes. Its easy to make casual conversation with pets around at the park and safe.
it's so good to hear such an honest description of the experience of being a youtuber, I've been flirting with the idea for a long time and actually started preparing to start making yt videos but I am 100% sure I am going to be met with a similar resistance, I'm so glad you talk about it and I'm sure it's very relatable to many people! not everyone find 'the grind' natural, I often romanticise the idea of being extremely hard working all day every day but I think it's simply not sustainable for me, love your content and listening to you speak to calmly and honestly, you've just gained a fan :)
I really relate to being solo in everything. I did that for a decade and it was very draining on many levels. There was the financial strain as well as having to be decent enough at ALL of the things in life, even things like car care, taxes, and investments which are so not my natural areas. But having nobody to bounce ideas off of and to share decisions with was what has taken the biggest toll. When I hit 45, I knew I needed to get more focused about making money again and having access to health care, so I left being a doula and went back into a corporate job. It was a hard trade-off, because I loved the doula work so much more, but I had no benefits (living in the US, so no healthcare without an employer) and the income was unsteady. The idea that there is no perfect solution, just trade-offs, has been helpful (once I got past the resistance). It is helpful to hear someone else's process and winding journey! Thank you for being so open!
The first 2 sentences - yes!
" there is no perfect solution, just trade-offs" - yes!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Now to find solution so I don't meltdown and do ugly crying again 😜
Just found his video and I’m really glad. Everything you spoke of is so relatable. There’s something about the way you talk to your viewers that makes the viewing experience quite enjoyable
Your videos are some of the most informative, well researched videos I have found. And I think your vulnerability and transparency is a big part of why so many of us trust you. Thank you for being a real person, it’s so relatable.
You're a real inspiration Laura - your honesty, your vulnerability and just your kindhearted spirit. Wish you nothing but continued success on your channel and hope you achieve all your goals and more in the year ahead!
I absolutely love your channel full stop. Can't wait for future videos!!!! Well done and best of luck for continued success!!!!
Thank you for your support Patty 🙏
@@LauraTryUK FWIW, I follow you and though not a creator now, I am a newly widowed active 70 yo woman with her own house, and boy, do I relate to feeling it's a lot keeping up with those finances and those chores. Keep on keeping on Laura!!
You are so candid and honest. It is so appreciated and this is why I follow you and love all your content.
I love your digital content and purchased as soon as I saw it
Keep on going!!!
I am very happy for you. Congratulations!
Keep TRYing!!!
For sure 🫡
Thank you so much for your honesty Laura, it's truly inspiring! You are rocking this.
I love these updates L.T!
I find them so inspiring and love seeing your journey and growth over the years! 😊
Always look forward to your videos, no matter what the subject is!
Yay! I remember! So brave. I'm just gonna listen as I work here. Hope you're well, LT. Best, JR PS - You ever consider that you're blowing up because you're Double-A adorable? 😇
You’re very kind, thank you.
Laura I don’t know how this comment will come across to you but just wanted you to know I find you fascinating! I am European, spent 22 years in the USA and then just came back home to Europe to live in my own country but a different town I never knew before to be with my mom who is fighting stage IV colon cancer. What an abrupt difficult move that was!!! I am working remotely but that is not easy because I stress one of the bosses who opposed it is always trying to show it won’t work!!! Anyhow… I love any and every single video you put out!!! Just love your tone of voice, your accent, your interests, your outlook and how you are so real!!!
@klimtkahlo my heart goes out to you. My sister had stage IV colon cancer. You've done a noble act moving back to help your mom and despite your one boss's attempts to thwart you, I hope the Universe will support your move. Hang in there!
@@katrinastarkweather2074 Thank you so much Katrina! So sweet of you to take the time to right some encouraging words! I have loved people sharing their experiences with me. One of the owners actually supported me on the move because her own mother had dealt with this awful disease as well as her husband and mother in law. I wish we find a cure soon! Going through treatment for it is brutal! But praying that my mom can stick around for some more (many more for my sake) years… and praying for the same positive result for all of those going through it! Wishing you all the best in the world and incredibly good health and a very long and happy life! 💞
oh, Laura! Congratulations! What a journey. That takes a lot of gumption and willingness to learn and pivot and just keep on keeping on. Well done! I know it is very trendy right now and it is rather exclusive to women, which may not be good for your viewership, depending on how that leans, but things related to perimenopause if/when that begins to be on your own radar would be great. There are so many ideas about what to do out there that it is overwhelming and I have found myself wishing I had a Laura Try take on some of the suggested practices/products/services for that particular transformation.
had to search 'gumption'
Thank you! 🙏
I loved this video. No distraction just honesty. So happy you have a quiet recording space now! Also, big inspiration to get online and build experience not regret.
Honest articulate moving vulnerable and informative . What a lovely human being you are Laura ! Me and my dear old mum just watched the update . God bless you !! Love your values and just keep doin what u are doing x
Love your videos Laura! Thank you for your transparency, your honesty and your vulnerability. It helps us all 🙂
Really admire your attitude towards sponsorships and approaching those you know and love long term. So refreshing. Nowadays as soon as I see someone shoving something new down my throat every few vids I leave for good.
Laura, I love all your videos but especially these updates. Your comments about the resistance you feel with creating videos is something I feel with anything creative ideas I have, so relatable! As well as being lazy and easily distracted haha. Anyway, watching you has inspired me to have another go with at least one of the many ideas I have. Thank you for pushing through and doing things your way and being your authentic self x
You put so much effort in your videos. I just want to say, thank you so much for inspiring and continue to do so. You are amazing.
I watched your Hueberman routine video and am one of your happy digital products people who bought your template. They both brought me value, thank you! Congratulations on all the facets of your journey. Keep going!
where do you get that?
Laura I appreciate you so much on this platform, I'm so glad you're here! Your honesty, big heart and passion go a long way. I also feel like our seeming weaknesses can actually be strengths - thinking of your office experiences, and your sensitivity to space and noise, I feel like this sensitivity is also what makes you such an amazing storyteller, observer and sharer of insights. Thank you ♥
I soooo appreciate your vulnerability and human-ness. You’re so genuine, endearing, and such an inspiration! I love how open you are about the highs and the lows of your life. Excited to see what videos you have in store!
We are all routing for you Laura!
I found your channel after your viral 7 day fast. I love your content, you have a very genuine and down to earth style which is not always easy to find on RUclips these days. I love that you routinely show the negatives alongside the positives, it’s very refreshing.
I have no doubt that if you continue what you’re doing - and in the way you want to do it- you will continue to build subscribers and become very financially comfortable. It will just take some time but the good news is the kind of ppl who like channels like yours are loyal viewers.
What a wonderful and comforting comment, thank you so much 🙏 it’s great to have you here.
🎉Laura, congratulations 🥳 3years! Super happy for you! Your videos are superb! Quality, honesty and motivating- hence you have grown beautifully and have great people cheering you on. Sending you love and best wishes 🎉❤
Congratulations Laura, worth all the effort. Thanks for sharing. 😊
great to see your channels progress and your honesty concerning your personal life! Although different, the struggles are so relatable and therefore motivating. hope to see you prosper! cheers from Austria!
Only found your channel recently and love watching and can’t wait for your future videos! Well done you obviously deserve your success ❤
I love your transparency! This is why I love following you and watching your videos, the honesty. Keep up the good work, I believe in you 🙂
Laura, you are doing Great! So glad I found your channel last year, and enjoy everything you create and share with us. Wishing you nothing but the best!
Wow, you’re amazing Laura! Your generosity, humility, vulnerability, honesty and compassion is a perfect blend of ingredients for an awesome human. You’re so inspiring. Thank you for shining your wonderful light. ♥️
I fell in love with your RUclips channel after watching the first video. You are so genuine and down to earth❤. Congrats on all of your accomplishments!
All the best to you, Laura. Your sincerity of purpose and hard work are inspiring. Keep your momentum!
Thank you Laura, keep up the good work!
You are so great for your openness and willingness to share all of this. Best wishes!
Loved hearing and seeing this video. So positive and so enlightening. Can't wait to see more!!
Congratulations, Laura! I'm so glad you are celebrating your wins. And that you get to have your own space and still be so close to your mum, what a dream! And i'm so glad you've been able to find a partnership with a company you trust and align with on values and that they respect you. You make wonderful films! I always feel calm after watching one of yours. You are consistent, sincere, and all around lovely. Keep up the good work and congrats on your continued growth (youtube wise but also personally.)
I really respect your honesty and authenticity. Enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Hi Laura, Thank you for including my question! I stopped the vid and excitedly showed my family. Great year end review. I’m looking forward to seeing where you go in the next year. My best - Larry
These posts are so refreshing. I love your approach to creating - authentic and transparent. ✨✨I hope to see you in your house next year!
Great update Laura, you’re doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work.
I always watch your videos with interest. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing!
Fab video. Thanks for sharing so open and honestly!
Well done Laura! Such good work. You have such a nice confidence/energy on camera, keep on rocking!
Always great watching your updates, you are very focused on tasks and its an inspiration.
Laura, I’ve been watching your videos from the start. I’m sure I speak for many of your viewers when I say we couldn’t love you more! You’re not the only one with ups and downs and challenges and periodic self doubt. Like you, I do it all by myself and it’s tough!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. By the way, I loved the video about the Shakti acupressure mat-I’m going to order it today, I’ve been putting that off.
Sending big hugs and lots of love from across the Atlantic! Can’t wait to continue to grow with you.
Love love love your videos! Sooo happy for you and it’s been wonderful following and watching your growth! Keep going!
Thank you for the update! Inspiring. 😄
Excellent analysis of your RUclips life, very inspiring and always entertaining watching your videos, well done Laura, looking forward to more videos
Thank you for your support and comment 🙏
I’m really excited and happy for you. ❤❤❤❤
I love how earnestly you speak. Thanks for your honest update. ❤. Looking forward to whatever’s coming up !
Hello LT! I’ve read many comments on your channel and they all say what I feel. You are a ray of sunshine on RUclips. Stay true to yourself. You’re so real, genuine, honest, and lovely. I adore the way you say “body”!!! It sure seems like you’re searching for something…as many of us do in our middle-age time. I’m learning it’s not the quest of a goal, but the journey along the way that’s most important. You’ve inspired me to return to England for a narrow boat vacation. Well, you and Heidi the Narrowboat Pirate! Keep those simple videos of your challenges coming…LOVE THEM!!!! ❤
Laura, I just want to say you are so lovable. I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your videos but I always enjoy watching them. As a fellow analytical woman I admire your curiosity, intelligence and authenticity.
When you say you’re “lazy,” that doesn’t ring true from my perspective. It’s okay to feel melancholy, to need to take breaks, and to not have enough energy for all of our many ideas. From my perspective as a fan, you’re beautiful inside and out, and so resilient.
It’s heartwarming watching someone with a great big heart conquer challenges, grow and build the foundation for love.
In my experience, recognizing and naming loneliness is the start of connection. Well done on beginning that brave process (so publicly, too!). I’m rooting for you to find that love and connection soon. You deserve it. Thanks for sharing with us here!
I love your videos, so refreshing and honest. Thanks !
We have been following you for a number of years. We love your honesty and down to earth approach. Always making it real with the highs and lows. Not afraid to show your vulnerability shows true courage. Looking forward to the next installment in the LT journey.
Love you're update videos. Keep it up, we are cheering for you Laura :)
I've only watched a few of your videos and today this one popped up again. I'm glad you're still so close to your mom. Ideal solution! And I'm sure she loved having you and will continue to support you throughout every (mad) adventure yiu could think up.
I would love to see a video of the two of you having an adventure together now and then. I adore my 89-year-old mom, who regrettably became bedridden in March this year. Enjoy each other while you can.
Congrats on your achievements and I'll be sure to check out some other videos soon. I love working from my quiet house in the suburbs, been doing it for the past 15 years.
❤
You’re one impressive & inspiring lady! Well done for all your achievements so far!
I f-ing LOVE your vids LT! Feeling emosh now after watching, I turn 40 this summer + currently succumbing to the resistance of being a solo creator and going on camera to promote my event business. Absolutely shitting myself, something that so many people seem to do so easily feels so personal and scary to me, and the resistance is hella huge. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the detail that you do - I initially started following you via the Huberman vid, and hoovered up the rest of your health/nutrition vids because the content in them is brilliant and you're super likeable + relatable; and the RUclips/business journey/income stuff is a big added bonus that happens to be super relevant to me too. You're an ICON ⭐
Lovely to see you and catch up with you - funnily enough this came up today, I haven't heard/seen you on You Tube otherwise! Well done, looking forward to your future content and will have a look at your playlist now I know! Good luck to you
Thank you for being so open and raw Laura. Stay real and just continue being yourself, this is what makes your channel special. You’ve got this 🤛🏼💪
Praying you hit the lottery! 🙏🏼 And me too! 😊
Love your channel. You provide so much value with your videos and I learnt a lot of interesting things from them! Very happy I subscribed when I did and that the channel is working out for you. Keep going!
Thank you so much for your video. I love your authenticity and vulnerability too. I understand how you talked about the resistance with making videos because it doesn’t come naturally. Keep doing what you’re doing because what comes through is your honesty. We need more of this. Take care of yourself too.
I have watched several of your videos and always really enjoy them. I finally subscribed today after you described how you treat your sponsorships. 🙂
I love your honesty - it's the reason I subscribed :) I hope you start to feel better soon: to feel more grounded and less alone at times
This is actually super helpful! I'm going to start my own business soon, and I'm considering making RUclips content as part of it. So it was really great to hear your experience, and your reflections - thank you. All the best for the next year, and achieving your ultimate goal! 😊
Loved the video! You are so honest. I am so inspired by you and your creativity
😭 So happy for you Laura!! The house looks amazing 🙏 Let’s manifest you buying it next year 💫 x x x
Yay loking forward to this. I've watched since waaaaay back.
Well done Laura. I'm glad all is going well. Very inspiring for others too.
I just like you! Your voice and demeanor is so calming. your energy is magnetic yet grounded. I agree, don't over complicate it. We are here for YOU as much or more than your content. :)
Congratulations on your latest milestone Laura. Your authenticity & loyalty to never betraying your values by making genuine videos is such a breath of fresh air. You have somehow even found the time to reply to a couple of my comments! Wishing you continued prosperity & millions of views so you can BUY that house! Thank you for sharing yourself so honestly.
Well done Laura 🎉 you are my absolute favourite YT’er, keep going and just being yourself.
Thank you for your videos. I always look forward to them. I love your channel because I'm a similar age, and so you inspire me to reach for my dreams. One thing that resonated is when you said you're still sad and frustrated, but at least you're also doing what you want. I loved your running videos and shorter challenges, and of course these update videos. Thanks for being you!
Rachel
I really enjoy your content, honest and thorugh presentation. The episode with the magic truffles was amazing. You are very inspiring and I`m a big fan🙂
I think it’s my first time commenting on this channel but been a viewer for a while.
I love the videos of yours that are more applicable to my own life, such as workout and nutrition videos. Can’t wait for the therapy series!
I’m also amazed by how you are navigating life authentic to your values and what works for you rather than jumping on things and societal expectations that may bring “success” such as more money but that don’t feel right to you.
You inspire me a lot and I also want to keep moving more towards health and wellbeing themes both in my own life and in my content.
You are an inspiration and I love watching your content. Thank you for your values, mission and honesty ❤❤❤
Awesome and honest video, Laura. Helped me put my own tribulations in perspective while at the same time inspiring me to try (well, to at least consider trying) something new. Thanks and congrats on your well-deserved successes.
I might have written this before but I've been really enjoying watching your videos! Thank you!
It was amazing watching your Desert Island video, for me! Thank you for your content!!
