@@Flaka91 they basically tried to cancel her for her past videos and she said sorry then said she was gonna live her life offline. But from what I peek from Julien I think they're both doing well for themselves.
I hope you see this. You didn’t teach me necessarily how to do makeup. You taught me how to grow my confidence and creativity and nurture my calm. How to project my calm onto others. I didn’t know that I was an empath or how strong of an empath I could be, but you were a part of me finding that in myself.
began watching since “natural looking makeup”- was it 2007? that’s absolutely crazy. you taught me how to do my makeup as a child and your back to school videos got me ready to be a teenager. you were my safe space and got me through a lot over the years; i STILL hum the melodies from your old videos (both previously copyrighted and not, haha)- very very excited to see where this podcast goes, now as an adult. thanks for sticking around and adapting to everyone and everything on and off the internet. much love Miss Phan!!🖤
Michelle ur MADEE for podcasts! It wasnt just ur tutorials I loved as a teen (which btw the entire online beauty community owes its success to) but it was ur asmr voice & inspiring messages u gave to my innocent brain back then. It made me dream and have hope. Ur so good at motivating ppl and u have the beautiful voice to go with it! ❤❤ have always loved and supported u girly. May u always be successful 🎉❤
Everyday Id get off the bus and sit on the floor in front of the mirrors of my school theatre dressing room, prop up your videos on my ipod touch and do my makeup to them. I was a mentally unwell and depressed kid who didn’t have many friends. Makeup was a huge outlet for me to express myself when my social anxiety wouldn’t let me. Your comment about afterglow being a cozy corner like your old videos made me cry, it reminded me of the cozy corner I made for myself in my schools basement watching them. Can’t wait to watch this!
I’m definitely in the part where I’m battling the beast 🥺I’ve been following you since around 15 years ago, and I’m so happy to see this series! Really looking forward to hearing about your journey and hopefully come out of mine better
You have the guide map, coming out better is in your power, and I know you are more than capable to not only overcome the beast, but come back home transformed and whole again
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I have been following you since 2007 - I was 16 and had just gotten permission to access internet on my mother's laptop. Whatever I have learned about makeup, I have learned it from you. You have inspired me to take up a career as a nail artist, you inspired me to go against my parents and complete my studies in my favourite subjects and you inspired me to take a break when I needed it. Thanks for helping me grow better!
I loved your beauty content but what spoke to me were your short stories!! The ones of you in Paris, the one where your mom sewed your dress. I’ve watched all those videos so many time bcos they’re so unbelievably beautiful. You’re truly art. Thank you for sharing your mind and beauty with us 🤍
I’ve been watching u since your first video and bought your first ever Ipsy bag and still have my subscription. You got me through some incredibly dark times as a teen and I’ve always been such a huge fan. I love how you’re still so inspiring and genuine!
I love seeing you back, and I also agree with you. After I watched my sister die last year, I was so broken. I wanted to be gone. It took time and lots of help, but I'm doing better, I still have a long way to go. I realized in the last 12 months, that god, the universe, my sister, who ever it is, sending people my way on my journey to healing. Meeting strangers or reconnecting with old friends is a blessing and reminds me I'm not alone in this life. AND GOORL YES!!! When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up at 5 years old, I'd say, "I want to be Sailor Moon!"
RUclips was so different back then. The first video I watched was your Lady Gaga Bad Romance makeup tutorial, and it changed my life as well. I’ve never missed a video since! You were my first makeup mentor, and I loved watching your videos. Years passed, and you left for a while, but you still have a place in my heart whenever your name comes up or you cross my mind. Thank you for everything.❤
She is just so perfect! From the moment this podcast started to the end when she walked away after that nostalgic “Good Luck”, just so perfect! I grew up watching her and now my childhood self is so happy I wanna cry!❤
Totally relatable: when something you’re passionate about becomes a job. It’s not a passion anymore … it becomes a job. It takes a lot courage to tell yourself you need to step away, breathe, take care of yourself mentally and reflect.
This made me cry multiple times. I watched you growing up as a kid and it feels like old times. Welcome back Michelle. You’ve evolved so beautifully and I’m grateful you returned back to RUclips to spread love, kindness, wisdom, what’s real & important, and of course beauty.
I remember meeting you during your book signing. I was SO overwhelmed to finally meet you I didn’t know what to talk about until I blurted out “Have you watched any of the new Sailor Moon Crystal?” 😂 So to see Elysion in your opening scene here is always a gentle reminder that you’re a moon for life. So happy to have you share your thoughts with us! 🌙✨
Michelle I’m so soo glad you’re back and to share your wisdom and learnings! Been watching you since the very beginning teaching us how to look beautiful on the inside and I’m so for you teaching us now how to feel beautiful on the inside!
Michelle, you are one of the reasons I created this channel, you inspired me for years. It is so great to see you again, and not just doing makeup as before, your personality is the thing that inspired me the most 💜 Thank you for the words about people being constantly evolving and that it is okay to want to change and experience new things. I love a ton of things and love to learn new things, I don't like to stay still in a career for years or just go on and do makeup videos. I feel like I'm so much more than that. I've made peace with this person that I am and I want to live a life of discovery and fullfilment, even if it means that I'll be changing paths every so often. Thank you for your words and welcome back 💖
I’m sooo happy whenever Michelle posts - she reminds me so much of being a kid but also as an adult reminds of so much growing up we’ve done since! Really excited for the Ryan higa episode
Ohmygosh i feel like we grew up together! 😢❤ i grew up watching ryan higa too and i cant help but cry because of the flashbacks of my fun childhood because of these two pioneering youtubers 🫶
Your new series has come to us at such a perfect point in my life. I have watched you since 2007, I was only 6 years old and the only people I was subscribed to was you, Smosh, and Shane Dawson. I still remember hiding under my blanket at night watching your tutorials on my iPod touch. Throughout my teenage years I would rewatch your draw my life video and all your short story films on RUclips, and hoped that one day I could be just like you. My auntie even took my sister and I to come and meet you in San Francisco when I was just 12 years old and it was the best day ever. I am now 22 years old, just graduated from college in May, and am now starting my first full time job at an Investment Bank. I grew up with you and I feel like you came back at such a pivotal point of my life where I need guidance and wisdom for this next chapter. Thank you Michelle, for shaping my definition of inner beauty. So glad you are back
"GOOD LUCK" 😭 iykyk that gave me goosebumps. I've always loved Michelle's voice.. so calm and sweet... even when she said "Bitch I'm back!" Lol I'm so happy she's back. She looks happier and healthier. I'd listen to her podcast all day! Sooo soothing! Like a lullaby. 🥰 Welcome back, Queen. 👐
Been watching since I was 14 back in 2007/2008. It’s wild to see how long it’s been, and your voice immediately transports me back to highshool and learning how to feel beautiful.
I started watching Michelle back in 2009. It was a video for a romantic gothic look. I'm so glad that she's back, and am looking forward to this podcast.
Yes! your channel was such a warm and safe place for us young girls to learn and have fun in! It sounds so simple but over the course of growing, we craved it , and you provided that !❤ I love that you are doing the same now 🥰
I used to be such a loner kid. I found solace just being by myself. I used to watch Michelle’s videos as a way to disconnect from the real world and be in a safe place. Now as an adult I’m relearning how to cope with stress and anxiety.. I’m happy that I can relive that feeling of security & warmth. I’m genuinely excited for this podcast series. ❤
I've been watching you since I was 8 watching you do bad romance and barbie tutorials, even one year we followed your Sailor Moon tutorial for my Halloween costume in grade 3. I'm so honored to watch you grow and evolve. You have and will always be my favorite beauty channel even if you don't post tutorials as often. You were a huge part of my life growing up and i cannot thank you enough for being yourself and making videos.
This got me so emotional. And I am so excited for this. Welcome back queen. Now I am in my mid 20s and you have been there for almost half of my life as someone(the only one actually in youtube) I look upto on a constant basis. Your videos were always there for me all these times and your comeback (this video) made me feel like I got my sister back. I’m literally crying. Just listening to you talk is my therapy. I can’t put into words how happy and excited I am. Thank youuu for everything you do, always grateful for you.
the good luck at the end made me scream. Ugh transported to my childhood. and why did i instantly think of after glow as like after... a different time? if you catch my drift. lol. so glad to see you back in full force. She is so back guys!!!
Since 2007 you have been amazing! I never stop to like you because I find that we have so much in common together, either in personality or in stuff that I went through my life too. I’ve found through spirituality the way to heal myself and my deceptions too. I wish you all the best, ad maiora ❤
Happy to see you again, Michelle. You really encouraged me to be more confident and to become a woman of value. I watched almost all of your videos while growing up, even rewatching them. They had a huge impact on shaping who I am today. Miss you!🥹❤️❤️
Michelle, you are my inspiration for every part of me, I’ve never felt as reconnected with my passions, self and love for life as I do when I hear your wisdom. You’re a true blessing to everyone you touch in life
Your podcast reminded me of my love of Joseph Campbell, he was a huge influence in my life when I was younger. I am in the road to recovery and self discovery right now, this message is the right one at the right time. It is time to follow my bliss. Looking forward to more episodes.
Michelle, i m so happy to see you on RUclips again! thank you for being such an inspiration . I watched you every day when I was in middle school and I would begged my parents to buy similar brushes, makeup , lip gloss ! your lady gaga makeup tutorial was really funny to watched and yes i m going down the memory lane but I m glad you are well and back on here !
I love this. It's like talking to a virtual sister here. You're so inspiring and i cant wait to listen to you more. I used to love make up cos of ur videos but now i just love how vulnerable u are and honest with what you've been through. ❤
I'm so happy to see you again! You were the first beauty vlogger I ever followed. You helped me fall in love with make up. I remember watching your Why I Left video right after you posted it. I'm glad that you took the time to take care of yourself.
❤❤ so excited for your new journey! but even more excited to hear about your growth and learn more about life with you. loved when you said you want this to be like a cozy corner 🫶
Joseph Campbell's work has helped me so much!! It unexpectedly allowed me to overcome my religious trauma, by helping me first demolish unstable and wavering beliefs and rebuild with a fresh perspective to see and meet life the way it is, as it comes. Love his work it has truly transformed the way I see everything. Welcome back, Michelle!!
The universe works in interesting ways. I’ve followed you since the very beginning, around the time I started dating an amazing guy in high school, who I eventually married. My life seemed to mirror yours in many ways. Now that you’re back, I find myself going through some big changes too. Sadly, that amazing guy and I have parted ways after growing up together. But I’m ready to rediscover my own beauty and be the hero of my story. I’m looking forward to listening to your podcast and finding inspiration from your journey.
Back when 2017, watching your video why I left where one of the sentence saying that “They say If you want to fly you must give up everything that weighs you down” That literally hit me so hard and during that point of my life I made one of my life turning point decision which I am glad I did! Thanks Michelle phan! You are like a big sister to me and I can’t wait for what you gonna share in afterglow and I hope I can learn something from you which would be beneficial in my life.
I am going through my second heroes journey in regaining power and autonomy in my own life from family and feel so much gratitude for the timing of this series 🩵🩵 You, Ryan, Bubz, Wong Fu, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Graveyard Girl, all inspired and raised me!! As a now creative entrepreneur and visual storyteller, I’m so excited to hear every episode !! I’ll be checking for new episodes for sure 😊🎉🫶
5:10 I’m here post school trying to become a developer and everyone knows what’s happening to tech workers right now. The one thing moving me is I remember you said in your draw my life that all this came from a recession, so I’m thinking it’s not over yet I need to find my calling 😅
Many businesses were formed during recessions, especially in 2008. This is an opportunity to find a white space, identify a need, and being a solution to that need that people find value in.
So so excited about this podcast! I've been following you since forever and the glimpses of your spiritual journey really vibe with me ♡ I've been feeling really lost in life so lots of healing is still ahead of me ♡ thank you for doing what you are doing ♡
Welcome back Michelle! I’ve been a fan since the OG RUclips days! In high-school and college, you inspired and taught me so much with your makeup tutorials! You worked hard to get to where you are today and happy to hear you’re in a better place! Happy to see you are back! ❤😊
its so crazy hearing you say you’ve been a content creator for just about 2 decades, i’ll be 20 this year - you have no idea how much you influenced or changed my life as a little girl who grew a love for makeup. i would literally watch your “Lady GaGa” tutorials almost everytime i got my dad’s phone 😭 & seeing you now? i aspire to live the soft & confident life you’ve represented & worked for now, so thank you Michelle 💛
You’re such an inspiration! Your drive, passion, and the way you approach life are so motivating. I’m always in awe of how you manage to balance everything with such grace and still find time to uplift those around you. Keep shining, girl, because you’re lighting the way for so many of us!
I started watching your videos and I knew from the beginning that the depth of your spirituality was driving the beauty videos, which were amazing on their own, but were tapping into primordial truth. Welcome back!
I should say, too, that I am a professor of religion and I had a hard time explaining to people, including my wife, why I was watching your videos since I’m not into makeup at all! 😂 But my wife started following you and getting the Ipsy bags and she got it! If you ever want to join me on my spirituality and religion podcast, let me know, though I only have a small, small, small subscriber base!
Oh man these were the days back then...you had to be there. The "beginning" of RUclips where so many great people appeared like Michelle Phan and Bubzbeauty and so many others. I love the OG youtubers. I learned so much from all of you. Doing my makeup, doing my hair, creating things, painting, doing my nails, how to style my room (omg was so inspired bei macbarbie07 alias Bethany Mota I was obsessed with her room and furniture). You guys made me laugh, you made me cry you guys gave me the feeling that I am not alone. You taught me so much stuff and were always my safe space. I was like 13 back then, now I am 30 and I still watch some of the old OG RUclipsrs who are still there. And I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see some of my favourite RUclipsrs return or to even see something of them. Shoutout to Michelle Phan, Bubzbeauty, Smosh, Pewdiepie, NigaHiga, KevJumba, Bethany Mota, Shane Dawson, Chester See, Dominic Sandoval, Jenna Marbles and so many more. I thank you and love you and just hope that you are happy with your life. I'm from Germany, but I was so obsessed to watch people from all over the world. I am so excited for the upcoming content. I really do need this right now.
me, being 36 right now, I feel that burn out and everything, you hit the head on the nail about it allll. i can only imagine how it feels to be free from all that. much love! xox P,s, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME fallower, i love you so much! you are truly and inspiration michelle
Hey dear Michelle 💖I've been following you since 2009 and I just want to say how proud and happy I am for everything you've accomplished. You've grown so much and it's been amazing to see your journey! Keep shining and inspiring us all! Sending you much love xoxo 💕✨
I’m 30 now and I used to watch you when I was just a teen🥹 back then you were one of the very few asians I could look up to in Social Media. So excited for your new journey😊
I'm glad you're back, Queen! I've been here since your early videos, 16 years ago.❤ You are one of the first I've subscribed to, along with Shaytards, CTFxC. Then came other beauty vlogs like Kalel Cullen, Meganheartsmakeup, Bubzbeauty, and Promise Phan.❤
been watching you since i was 12 years old. Your such an inspiration to my life in every possible way to showcase that women can push towards their dreams
I'm so happy Michelle is back! I was waiting forever for this day 💗I'm a long time follower and you not only have taught me how to do make up, but also about accepting myself and just being "me". Back in the days when I was watching your videos, I was at a very dark place and I also had a long time healing process. It's so true that you come back "home" as another person. There are parts that will remain, parts have been transformed and parts that make a new you with all the experiences and things that happened. Today I'm feeling so much better but I still have so much to learn and I'm so ready to hear more! ✨
I am sooooo happpy about this Michelle, i’ve followed you since the beginning, thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me, i was going through sad,dark moments and ur videos helped me A LOT ! Thakn you and so glad u are back ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been a MP fan since 2009. I learned a lot from you on how I do my make-up back then. For me, you are really is the OG, my trusted beauty content creator. I am happy you are back Michelle. I will forever your supporter. Btw, I have some EM make-up also. 🙂 Goodluck on your podcast!
I remember watching you when I was about 8/9 years old and I was obsessed with your videos. I saved up to buy my own Lancôme palette. Now at 23, I’m glad to see you’re starting a podcast! Can’t wait!!
I have began watching you since then. I remember looking for a brow tutorial and I was hooked after that and I always look forward to your videos, .This is exciting! I am happy for your accomplishments throughout all of these years and those coming.!
So excited for your podcast, Michelle; your chatting/sharing type videos have always been my favorite! For future episodes, would be so cool to see conversations with other Christian creators - having Jackie Hill Perry or Tori Kelly on the podcast would be dope!
Michelle, as a long time fan, I am really glad that you are opening up to us viewers even though you didn't have to. You were one of the first person who represented us as Vietnamese/Asian woman and through that remained humble and authentic, though that journey and role was imposed on you. You were the first I related to on YT, especially with your struggles and migrant background apart from the beauty journey aspect. Always wishing you the best. We are truly grateful, whatever path en you choose to have and glad to have you back!
I WOULD LOVE and i guess HOPE to see Jermaine Santiago on this podcast I’m so curious of the behind the scenes and where she’s at now. You two were my OG’s
Michelle~!!! I'm so happy you're back, I literally watched all of your videos since I was 12 and I'm a working Makeup Artists because of your videos! Your content comforted me in my lowest moments as a child 🥹 I can hear the Holy Spirits' love for you and I pray you soften your heart to Jesus because He is the real and one and only God who loves you! We both love you! 🥹🥹💕🥹💕🥹💕
Please interview other OG RUclipsrs who are living a quiet life now. Like Jenna Marbles or PewDiePie.
Omg I forgot about Jenna marbles? What happened to her..?
@@Flaka91 they basically tried to cancel her for her past videos and she said sorry then said she was gonna live her life offline. But from what I peek from Julien I think they're both doing well for themselves.
noooo!!!
@@ReiyaKiryu wow 😮 I didn’t know all that. I’m glad they are doing well.
yes omg need to do pewdiepie
Invite Lindy Tsang from Bubzbeauty!
Omg yes!!!
YESSSS
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
She's the other OG beauty influencer I started out following
This ❤❤❤
She’s baaaack!!!
ayo i know you 🫵
I hope you see this.
You didn’t teach me necessarily how to do makeup. You taught me how to grow my confidence and creativity and nurture my calm. How to project my calm onto others. I didn’t know that I was an empath or how strong of an empath I could be, but you were a part of me finding that in myself.
Ooh, would love to hear more about how you learned to nurture and project your calm. I agree that Michelle sheets had a calmness to her
This comment made me teary, I felt this. Thank you, sending you a massive air hug and love
began watching since “natural looking makeup”- was it 2007? that’s absolutely crazy. you taught me how to do my makeup as a child and your back to school videos got me ready to be a teenager. you were my safe space and got me through a lot over the years; i STILL hum the melodies from your old videos (both previously copyrighted and not, haha)- very very excited to see where this podcast goes, now as an adult. thanks for sticking around and adapting to everyone and everything on and off the internet. much love Miss Phan!!🖤
It was her music, makeup, and her creative inner world that I resonated with 😊
Michelle ur MADEE for podcasts! It wasnt just ur tutorials I loved as a teen (which btw the entire online beauty community owes its success to) but it was ur asmr voice & inspiring messages u gave to my innocent brain back then. It made me dream and have hope. Ur so good at motivating ppl and u have the beautiful voice to go with it! ❤❤ have always loved and supported u girly. May u always be successful 🎉❤
Also, Afterglow is such a beautiful, fitting name 🤌✨✨
when she talked about how everyone you meet is a reflection of you and how they’re teaching you something about yourself… she gets it 😭😭
Everyday Id get off the bus and sit on the floor in front of the mirrors of my school theatre dressing room, prop up your videos on my ipod touch and do my makeup to them. I was a mentally unwell and depressed kid who didn’t have many friends. Makeup was a huge outlet for me to express myself when my social anxiety wouldn’t let me.

She did not age a single day in terms of her outward beauty! what an inspiration to see how much she's grown and mastered beauty in all areas.
A lot of youtubers from the beauty industry went through this too. I would love to hear those stories. Please tell us more!
Your voice is perfect for podcasts! This evolution makes total sense! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
She's 37 wow!!! She hasnt aged, still look like in her 20s!!!
I used to watch you all the time! You taught me about makeup!!
I’ve been watching u since your first video and bought your first ever Ipsy bag and still have my subscription. You got me through some incredibly dark times as a teen and I’ve always been such a huge fan. I love how you’re still so inspiring and genuine!

I was obsessed with your Ricebunny blog, I think on xanga? Crazy how time flies 😊
She is just so perfect! From the moment this podcast started to the end when she walked away after that nostalgic “Good Luck”, just so perfect! I grew up watching her and now my childhood self is so happy I wanna cry!❤
Love this Michelle! As a guest Jlovesmac1 i think we'd love to know how she's doing. I have the feeling she's been through something similar as you.
I remember seeing your Draw my life video and I've followed you since then. Great to hear your voice once again ❤️

Thank you Michelle, for shaping my definition of inner beauty. So glad you are back
I'm soooo excited for this pod! Youre such an inspiration Michelle. And transformation and change is so necessary
It really is!
I remember watching your videos back then and whenever you updated. I always knew you had this healing spirit. Thank you for sharing
watching your makeup videos takes me back to my 18yr old self living in Paris. what a nostalgia.
"GOOD LUCK" 😭 iykyk that gave me goosebumps. I've always loved Michelle's voice.. so calm and sweet... even when she said "Bitch I'm back!" Lol I'm so happy she's back. She looks happier and healthier. I'd listen to her podcast all day! Sooo soothing! Like a lullaby. 🥰
Welcome back, Queen. 👐
So excited for the episode with Ryan Higa! Miss him and the RHPC crew, I know he streams but I'd love to see him out of that setting for a minute
Same
Been watching since I was 14 back in 2007/2008. It’s wild to see how long it’s been, and your voice immediately transports me back to highshool and learning how to feel beautiful.
Been here for like 15 years😮❤
I started watching Michelle back in 2009. It was a video for a romantic gothic look. I'm so glad that she's back, and am looking forward to this podcast.
So excited for longer episodes! This was a nice little intro ❤
Yes! your channel was such a warm and safe place for us young girls to learn and have fun in! It sounds so simple but over the course of growing, we craved it , and you provided that !❤ I love that you are doing the same now 🥰
I used to be such a loner kid. I found solace just being by myself. I used to watch Michelle’s videos as a way to disconnect from the real world and be in a safe place. Now as an adult I’m relearning how to cope with stress and anxiety.. I’m happy that I can relive that feeling of security & warmth. I’m genuinely excited for this podcast series. ❤
Thank you for makin podcast! Your voice always sound so perfect and calming. Hair looking amazing too
I've been watching you since I was 8 watching you do bad romance and barbie tutorials, even one year we followed your Sailor Moon tutorial for my Halloween costume in grade 3. I'm so honored to watch you grow and evolve. You have and will always be my favorite beauty channel even if you don't post tutorials as often. You were a huge part of my life growing up and i cannot thank you enough for being yourself and making videos.
This got me so emotional. And I am so excited for this. Welcome back queen. Now I am in my mid 20s and you have been there for almost half of my life as someone(the only one actually in youtube) I look upto on a constant basis. Your videos were always there for me all these times and your comeback (this video) made me feel like I got my sister back. I’m literally crying. Just listening to you talk is my therapy. I can’t put into words how happy and excited I am. Thank youuu for everything you do, always grateful for you.
What happen with your boyfriend French Dominique Capriaro?
The last I saw of him was in her sister's baby gender reveal party vlog in like 2020?
@@celinepope sister in law*
They broke up years ago
Thats what I really wanna know tbh 😂😂😂😂😅
@@celinepopeThen they really lasted...I thought they got married
the good luck at the end made me scream. Ugh transported to my childhood. and why did i instantly think of after glow as like after... a different time? if you catch my drift. lol. so glad to see you back in full force. She is so back guys!!!
Since 2007 you have been amazing! I never stop to like you because I find that we have so much in common together, either in personality or in stuff that I went through my life too. I’ve found through spirituality the way to heal myself and my deceptions too. I wish you all the best, ad maiora ❤
Good luck! I shed a tear. Michelle I am so happy you’re back. It’s like coming home❤️
Happy to see you again, Michelle. You really encouraged me to be more confident and to become a woman of value. I watched almost all of your videos while growing up, even rewatching them. They had a huge impact on shaping who I am today. Miss you!🥹❤️❤️
Michelle, you are my inspiration for every part of me, I’ve never felt as reconnected with my passions, self and love for life as I do when I hear your wisdom. You’re a true blessing to everyone you touch in life
Your podcast reminded me of my love of Joseph Campbell, he was a huge influence in my life when I was younger. I am in the road to recovery and self discovery right now, this message is the right one at the right time. It is time to follow my bliss. Looking forward to more episodes.
Michelle, i m so happy to see you on RUclips again! thank you for being such an inspiration . I watched you every day when I was in middle school and I would begged my parents to buy similar brushes, makeup , lip gloss ! your lady gaga makeup tutorial was really funny to watched and yes i m going down the memory lane but I m glad you are well and back on here !
I love this. It's like talking to a virtual sister here. You're so inspiring and i cant wait to listen to you more. I used to love make up cos of ur videos but now i just love how vulnerable u are and honest with what you've been through. ❤
I'm so happy to see you again! You were the first beauty vlogger I ever followed. You helped me fall in love with make up. I remember watching your Why I Left video right after you posted it.
I'm glad that you took the time to take care of yourself.
I’ve been here since 2007. It’s so wild. I remember that first video. My favorite video was the gothic vampire video you made! ❤Proud of you!
You’re the reason why I loved RUclips as a teenager lol! Everytime you uploaded a new video, I would rush to watch it😅
❤❤ so excited for your new journey! but even more excited to hear about your growth and learn more about life with you. loved when you said you want this to be like a cozy corner 🫶
Joseph Campbell's work has helped me so much!! It unexpectedly allowed me to overcome my religious trauma, by helping me first demolish unstable and wavering beliefs and rebuild with a fresh perspective to see and meet life the way it is, as it comes. Love his work it has truly transformed the way I see everything. Welcome back, Michelle!!
Devote fan and sister since 2007, I am happy that you are back! Best content creator, beauty guru and story teller ever. I need you on Spotify now! ❤
The universe works in interesting ways. I’ve followed you since the very beginning, around the time I started dating an amazing guy in high school, who I eventually married. My life seemed to mirror yours in many ways. Now that you’re back, I find myself going through some big changes too. Sadly, that amazing guy and I have parted ways after growing up together. But I’m ready to rediscover my own beauty and be the hero of my story. I’m looking forward to listening to your podcast and finding inspiration from your journey.
Back when 2017, watching your video why I left where one of the sentence saying that “They say
If you want to fly you must give up everything that weighs you down”
That literally hit me so hard and during that point of my life I made one of my life turning point decision which I am glad I did!
Thanks Michelle phan!
You are like a big sister to me and I can’t wait for what you gonna share in afterglow and I hope I can learn something from you which would be beneficial in my life.
Her voice is always comfortable to listen ❤
Michelle!!! I missed you!!! You are the reason I started to get into makeup and really tried to find my style. I'm so happy to see you back!!
Michelle Phan has and always be my inspiration. My dream is working with her under some projects or under her mentor. She is such an awesome icon ❤
“Bitch I’m Back!!!” Caught me off guard 😂
Me too for real haha!
SICKER THAN EVER!! NICE JOB!! 🤮👎
You were the first beauty guru I've ever watched! All is your DIY!!! YOU'RE THE GOAT!!!!! ❤❤
I am going through my second heroes journey in regaining power and autonomy in my own life from family and feel so much gratitude for the timing of this series 🩵🩵 You, Ryan, Bubz, Wong Fu, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Graveyard Girl, all inspired and raised me!! As a now creative entrepreneur and visual storyteller, I’m so excited to hear every episode !! I’ll be checking for new episodes for sure 😊🎉🫶
5:10 I’m here post school trying to become a developer and everyone knows what’s happening to tech workers right now. The one thing moving me is I remember you said in your draw my life that all this came from a recession, so I’m thinking it’s not over yet I need to find my calling 😅
Many businesses were formed during recessions, especially in 2008. This is an opportunity to find a white space, identify a need, and being a solution to that need that people find value in.
Your story makes me feel so seen. ❤️
So so excited about this podcast! I've been following you since forever and the glimpses of your spiritual journey really vibe with me ♡
I've been feeling really lost in life so lots of healing is still ahead of me ♡ thank you for doing what you are doing ♡
Welcome back Michelle! I’ve been a fan since the OG RUclips days! In high-school and college, you inspired and taught me so much with your makeup tutorials! You worked hard to get to where you are today and happy to hear you’re in a better place! Happy to see you are back! ❤😊
its so crazy hearing you say you’ve been a content creator for just about 2 decades, i’ll be 20 this year - you have no idea how much you influenced or changed my life as a little girl who grew a love for makeup. i would literally watch your “Lady GaGa” tutorials almost everytime i got my dad’s phone 😭 & seeing you now? i aspire to live the soft & confident life you’ve represented & worked for now, so thank you Michelle 💛
You’re such an inspiration! Your drive, passion, and the way you approach life are so motivating. I’m always in awe of how you manage to balance everything with such grace and still find time to uplift those around you. Keep shining, girl, because you’re lighting the way for so many of us!
I’ve watched your makeup tutorials since back in the day and is truly inspired by your journey! I can’t wait to hear your stories on your new pod 🙂
I started watching your videos and I knew from the beginning that the depth of your spirituality was driving the beauty videos, which were amazing on their own, but were tapping into primordial truth. Welcome back!
Thank you for knowing this, because I didn't even know back then.
I should say, too, that I am a professor of religion and I had a hard time explaining to people, including my wife, why I was watching your videos since I’m not into makeup at all! 😂 But my wife started following you and getting the Ipsy bags and she got it! If you ever want to join me on my spirituality and religion podcast, let me know, though I only have a small, small, small subscriber base!
Oh man these were the days back then...you had to be there. The "beginning" of RUclips where so many great people appeared like Michelle Phan and Bubzbeauty and so many others. I love the OG youtubers. I learned so much from all of you. Doing my makeup, doing my hair, creating things, painting, doing my nails, how to style my room (omg was so inspired bei macbarbie07 alias Bethany Mota I was obsessed with her room and furniture). You guys made me laugh, you made me cry you guys gave me the feeling that I am not alone. You taught me so much stuff and were always my safe space. I was like 13 back then, now I am 30 and I still watch some of the old OG RUclipsrs who are still there. And I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see some of my favourite RUclipsrs return or to even see something of them. Shoutout to Michelle Phan, Bubzbeauty, Smosh, Pewdiepie, NigaHiga, KevJumba, Bethany Mota, Shane Dawson, Chester See, Dominic Sandoval, Jenna Marbles and so many more. I thank you and love you and just hope that you are happy with your life. I'm from Germany, but I was so obsessed to watch people from all over the world. I am so excited for the upcoming content. I really do need this right now.
me, being 36 right now, I feel that burn out and everything, you hit the head on the nail about it allll. i can only imagine how it feels to be free from all that. much love! xox P,s, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME fallower, i love you so much! you are truly and inspiration michelle
Hey dear Michelle 💖I've been following you since 2009 and I just want to say how proud and happy I am for everything you've accomplished. You've grown so much and it's been amazing to see your journey! Keep shining and inspiring us all! Sending you much love xoxo 💕✨
I’m 30 now and I used to watch you when I was just a teen🥹 back then you were one of the very few asians I could look up to in Social Media. So excited for your new journey😊
I'm glad you're back, Queen! I've been here since your early videos, 16 years ago.❤ You are one of the first I've subscribed to, along with Shaytards, CTFxC. Then came other beauty vlogs like Kalel Cullen, Meganheartsmakeup, Bubzbeauty, and Promise Phan.❤
been watching you since i was 12 years old. Your such an inspiration to my life in every possible way to showcase that women can push towards their dreams
I'm so happy Michelle is back! I was waiting forever for this day 💗I'm a long time follower and you not only have taught me how to do make up, but also about accepting myself and just being "me". Back in the days when I was watching your videos, I was at a very dark place and I also had a long time healing process.
It's so true that you come back "home" as another person. There are parts that will remain, parts have been transformed and parts that make a new you with all the experiences and things that happened. Today I'm feeling so much better but I still have so much to learn and I'm so ready to hear more! ✨
I am sooooo happpy about this Michelle, i’ve followed you since the beginning, thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me, i was going through sad,dark moments and ur videos helped me A LOT ! Thakn you and so glad u are back ❤❤❤❤❤
missed you so much! your videos always brighten me no matter what it is. Now that you are doing podcasts, I am beyond thrilled. love and light xoxoxo
I’ve been a MP fan since 2009. I learned a lot from you on how I do my make-up back then. For me, you are really is the OG, my trusted beauty content creator. I am happy you are back Michelle. I will forever your supporter. Btw, I have some EM make-up also. 🙂 Goodluck on your podcast!
I remember watching you when I was about 8/9 years old and I was obsessed with your videos. I saved up to buy my own Lancôme palette. Now at 23, I’m glad to see you’re starting a podcast! Can’t wait!!
I have began watching you since then. I remember looking for a brow tutorial and I was hooked after that and I always look forward to your videos, .This is exciting! I am happy for your accomplishments throughout all of these years and those coming.!
Great 1st After-Glow episode ❤. Soooo look forward to future visual podcasts 👏🏽
So excited for your podcast, Michelle; your chatting/sharing type videos have always been my favorite! For future episodes, would be so cool to see conversations with other Christian creators - having Jackie Hill Perry or Tori Kelly on the podcast would be dope!
Michelle, as a long time fan, I am really glad that you are opening up to us viewers even though you didn't have to.
You were one of the first person who represented us as Vietnamese/Asian woman and through that remained humble and authentic, though that journey and role was imposed on you. You were the first I related to on YT, especially with your struggles and migrant background apart from the beauty journey aspect. Always wishing you the best.
We are truly grateful, whatever path en you choose to have and glad to have you back!
11:25 I got goosebumps.. you are just as beautiful as you always were to me all those years, inside and out🤍
Nothing like evolving, changing, growing, moving. Great to see you back! Looking forward to learn about your spiritual journey. Thank you
I WOULD LOVE and i guess HOPE to see Jermaine Santiago on this podcast I’m so curious of the behind the scenes and where she’s at now. You two were my OG’s
Michelle~!!! I'm so happy you're back, I literally watched all of your videos since I was 12 and I'm a working Makeup Artists because of your videos! Your content comforted me in my lowest moments as a child 🥹 I can hear the Holy Spirits' love for you and I pray you soften your heart to Jesus because He is the real and one and only God who loves you! We both love you! 🥹🥹💕🥹💕🥹💕
Would so love to see your illustrations again. Hope you share that talent with us in the future. One of your absolutely insane gifts!!!
