Keys: -A life of ease is the only true luxury. -Easier to manage, low-maintenance beauty regimens are major with a busy lifestyle. -Posting content with where you're at now is always best since it's more relatable and realistic. -Never be defeated, get to work.

[@rebekahp7284]

We’d never jump you! You are HUMAN first. Of course we missed your content. You were the first beauty influencer I subscribed to years back and I got hooked on all of your other health and lifestyle content. I always found myself circling back to see if there was a new video up. You’re both relatable and inspirational! Even if you take a hiatus, I know I’ll be back! I’m just happy to know you’re okay, learning about yourself, and growing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’m in grad school and would love some inspirational/productive school content if that’s something you’d ever consider! Sending love and positivity your way, Kat ❤️

[@KathrynBedell]

I appreciate you so much, thank you for supporting me through it all. ♥️ Also, I can definitely film some school-related content in the future.

[@sincerelylatasha]

First, congrats for having the awareness and self-love to know that you deserved to go after your dreams. I'm happy for you and also ashley devonna also shared similar thoughts and is also pursuing her dreams as a youtuber and corporate woman. Lasty, I still have all the lashes I ordered and still love them!

[@KathrynBedell]

Thank you! And yes, I watched Ashley's video and was happy to see that she was in somewhat of a similar headspace concerning social media and her career goals. It shows me that I'm not alone in feeling the way I felt. And I'm so glad you're still loving them!!! :)

[@jamieh5121]

It took me 5 years to get my BS. And almost just as long to get my Master’s. Life gets in the way and we get in our feels. But never give up! Now I’m doing what I love as a therapist. Almost everything you said in this video I tell my clients all the time! So happy to see your growth!

[@sdtwin]

Kathryn I'M SO PROUD OF YOU for stepping back, taking a look at yourself and your life and moving forward in a positive healthy way I'm so proud of you. Also. I would love to see some summer makeup looks🤗

[@KathrynBedell]

Thank you thank you! I will definitely work on some summer makeup content! Stay tuned!

[@gabriellathompson8126]

I can see you being a doctor. Organic Chemistry is honestly the most time consuming course ever lol I'm wishing you the best! xo

[@EricaAndrea]

I got my first degree in biology and it beat my ass. Ended up going for a second degree in nursing a few years later and graduated with honors. Never too late to go after something new!

[@ytl7750]

Congrats!! I was looking into a second degree but second bachelors degrees don’t qualify for the federal Pell grant 😭

[@Sunnyd-light]

Girl organic chemistry was my biggest nemesis, when I finally passed part 1 AND 2 threw myself a fucking celebration dinner! I actually changed my major from chemistry to biology and if everything goes as planned I’ll be done next summer. It’s really refreshing to know someone on the internet who understand my struggles as an adult student! Thanks for sharing and you look great as always!

[@bbjudyfit]

I majored in bio. I should've majored in chemistry because I loved o-chem... compared to my Genetics class. Oh mah gahhhhh😭 the struggggle.

[@KathrynBedell]

I will most definitely be doing the same! I'm halfway through this summer organic class and I am counting down the days! 😂 I should be finishing up this degree by next spring or summer too, so we'll be done around the same time. As I continue to share my journey, definitely check in and let me know how everything is going for you. I wish you the best!!!

[@KathrynBedell]

@@bbjudyfit I heard Genetics is miserable! Lmaooo

[@ShortOne20]

Same here. I was a Bio major... dropped Chem the first time I took it. Barely passed it the second time. I got to Orgo and failed. It took me like 2-3 semesters to boost my GPA back to over 3.0. I changed my major to Health Science to avoid that subject. Graduated with my BS, but thinking of going back for my masters, and I might have to overcome my fear of Chemistry.

[@Sunnyd-light]

@@bbjudyfit girrrrlll I had to circle the block on this comment cause I’m taking genetics right NEOW!!! 😩🥴

[@chynnadee]

You literally made me cry, I always relate to your videos. You got me when you mentioned your late brother and honoring him in everything you do, because he didn’t get a chance to. I loss my little brother in January, and that comment hit home. Thank you my Libra sister 💕

[@janiscaa5328]

My same exact thoughts!! I lost my little brother as well in January and I’ve been battling so many emotions and been thinking really hard about life!! This is my confirmation. I need to start living for me and accomplish my goals 💕

@@janiscaa5328 I’m sorry for your loss sis. 🙏🏾 We definitely got this, they would want nothing more then for us to achieve our hearts desires. ❤️

Yay! Glad you posted. I graduated from high school in 2014 too and I’ve been watching you since around then. Also finished college in 2020 lol. Always have loved your content!

[@MarissaLaChelle]

I can relate to that natural hair bit so much! I’ve been thinking about relaxing for a while now. I had to take both organic chemistry I and II twice before I made it through. Made me change my mind on being a pharmacist all together! After the bio degree I ended up going back and getting my RN license.

[@MsClaudinea]

I’ve really been thinking about going back to school too. For the same reason either for a doctor which was my reasoning to go to college but for the same thing that’s organic I class just messed me up lol. But now I’m thinking about going back to school for nursing

[@Taylaughs]

Watching your channel is like a breath of fresh air- almost like having a big sister that’s 100% real. I just recently graduated as well (also took 6 years). I was feeling so crappy about it but I just had to realize I need to figure what I want out of life. 🫶🏽 Prayers and blessings on your endeavors!

[@KathrynBedell]

Society has brainwashed us into believing that we need to be on certain timeline in order to be successful. It used to get me down too, but I stopped focusing on the negative and started simply appreciating the mere fact that I accomplished the goal of getting a degree, no matter the timeline. I wish you many blessings on your journey as well. As I continue to share my story, definitely keep me updated on how things are going with you. ♥️

[@jalisak1096]

KAT! This was so refreshing. Your authenticity and journey are so motivating. I recently graduated medical school and the journey is not easy. Your resilience and willingness to keep going no matter the circumstances will make you stand out amongst other candidates, no matter what route you decide to take in medicine. The desire was put in your heart for a reason, you're more capable than you think. Praying all the best!

[@c.nicholle8250]

Kathryn, looking lovely in that RED!! Congratulations on going after what YOU want!! I totally related to this Chit-Chat! 😍✔️

[@JayniaAnsha]

so emotional over this video because i feel the same exact way. im 25 and i was going to go straight into Med school after graduation but i decided to take a mental break (well needed) but working with doctors made me realize that i don’t want to go to medical school anymore so i decided on DNP/ Nurse Midwifery, still a doctor but i get to focus on what i love which is womens health and neonatal care. I know how you feel ! like really really know ! when you’re destined for something great in this life you better go for it and that’s what im doing. so happy to see that you’re back in school and took that leap it’s not always easy also happy that you’re back to share your story ❤️

[@cierachanae]

I absolutely love your truth and honesty in this video and your kitchen is gorgeous! So inspiring 🤍

[@KathrynBedell]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! 🥹♥️

[@_Makeuplifebychey_]

I’m so happy you are being proactive with doing things that makes you happy and really learning who you are before having a child and getting caught up in just being a housewife. After I had my daughter I struggled with figuring out who I am so that I could be more than just a mother or a wife and I ended up having to go to therapy for that . I commend you for going back to school . It’s better to try things and fail than to live with regret 💕 sending love from Texas

[@KathrynBedell]

Thank you for your kind words and well wishes. My overthinking led me to this decision, and I am so happy that it did. Although I do want to have a child with the next year or so, I am happy to be doing something solely for me. And like you said, even if I fail, at least I tried. :)

[@_Makeuplifebychey_]

@@KathrynBedell sending you all the baby dust your way for when you are ready for that. Children are the biggest blessing to ever receive 💕I’m so proud of you and your journey. We are the same age so I love seeing people grow

[@ShortOne20]

I'm happy that you are finding yourself, and striving to reach your goal. I am actually in a similar boat as you. I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor growing up. I took classes to steer me that way since High School... started taking all of the pre-reqs for nursing. Then, professors and other people around me started telling me that they see me more as a doctor. That boosted my ego, so I started taking courses in that direction instead of Nursing. Chemistry and Org. Chemistry almost took me out, literally 2x. I spent the rest of my schooling trying to boost my damaged GPA and avoid that subject. Transferred to a different school, and graduated with a BS in Health Sciences while pregnant. Got into a Nursing program, did 2 semesters, then Covid hit. Finishing school has now been put on the back burner after my daughter started Kindergarten. I am now in limbo trying to decide, back to Nursing, working on Chemistry to become a doctor, or get my masters in another health related field. I currently work in healthcare, and make somewhat decent money, but it's not enough or where I wanted to be. I think now is the time for you to continue with education. I would say take advantage of it while you are still young, and without kids. Not saying that we can't do it with them, but it' becomes more difficult, and a lot of us end up putting our careers on hold forever for our kids. I know many women who have, so you just do you. Good luck on your future endeavors, and I look forward to hearing your journey in the end.

[@DejaKiandraa]

This chit chat grwm resonated with me deeply! I love your serene demeanor and new take on life, conversations like this really fuel me and remind me that I’m not alone. Love you Kat! So glad you’re back💕

[@leslielewis40]

I encourage everything that you’re saying and am cheering you on from the sidelines. Definitely do what makes you happy. I married at 19 and raised three children. They’re now grown, I’m divorced and trying to find myself and figure out what I want out of life. Sadly, my story is not unusual. Women in general sacrifice themselves for their families and many other things. Taking care of your loved ones is important but it’s not more important than taking care of yourself.

[@nicolee0812]

glad to see you again gorgeous! ♥️

[@KathrynBedell]

It’s good to be seen! Thank you for watching! ♥️

[@_kaythebutterfly7828]

This was such a good talk, Kathryn! I feel what you were saying about unraveling the layers of being a wife and mother and figuring out who you are apart from those titles. I have this conversation with one of my friends (who is a wife and mother) all the time and somehow, she still makes time to pursue her dreams and balance it all gracefully. Praying the same for you and wishing you luck going back to school!

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

Congratulations on going after your dreams and all that God has for you!! The look is fireeee 🔥🔥🔥

It’s crazy how we all feel the same way but would never know

Thank you, thank you!

[@MissJazzy_]

You spoke a word in this video!! I struggle with the same things DAILY and I’m a 36 yr old housewife with 3 kids! Still trying to figure everything out lol

[@TeeChantelle]

I loved this video! I just turned 30 this year and I decided to go back to school for nursing. My mother tried to convince me to go to nursing school since I graduated high school, but I never wanted to go to nursing school until after she passed away. My little brother also passed away shortly after my mom, and I understand what you mean about living your life especially knowing that your brother didn’t. I was very “ashamed” or embarrassed to be enrolling in school in my 30s but I’m so glad that I made the decision to. This video was very motivating and I wish you well on your journey!

[@theappleofgodseye6133]

Hunny if you don't know, you will find fulfillment in the lord so unless you find him you won't be complete. I ain't no preacher but take my advice....

I prayed to the Lord for months, for both guidance and clarity. He led me here. Blessings to you ♥️

[@DanielleShantal]

Missed you girl, so happy you’re back and have set the tone for the amazing life you have and will continue to have. 🤍

[@KathrynBedell]

Hi Danielle! Thank you so much for watching! I missed y'all just as much.

[@madisoncarrington3543]

First Kat, you know I love your chit chats that’s a no brainer. I always have! I admire you so much and identify with you a lot. Especially with school and life. For several reason I don’t have my degree yet and I was working on getting my degree in business but I really didn’t feel passionate about it. I only wanted the degree to start the business. Since I already stated and it was doing well the degree felt useless and I lost focus. I felt the same way as you; because the people I was working with have business degrees and psychology degree making the same money I was without one.. So I didn’t see where it could help me. I didn’t like the job I was at and sure as heck didn’t want a degree that’s couldn’t get me out of it. Like you I always wanted more for myself or just to feel like what I was doing should be making a difference. I did good in school and I could always see myself doing something more scientific or mathematical. So I’m now finishing up my pre reqs for ultrasound technology and I hope to enroll in program next year. In the future I plan to work part time as a tech and work my business because I like the freedom. Listening to you let me know I’m not alone in how I feel, being able to change your mind and it’s never too late to go back to do what you want and better your future.

[@TheChanceHall]

Glad to see that you are back in school! I can definitely relate to being in school much longer than planned. This year a lot of people I start college with is now graduating and I am only 89% done because of switching my major AND failing classes. It does get alittle discouraging because I have that feel “that should have been me” but I’m learning to stop comparing myself and just being happy with the decision I made and the path I took. But we definitely missed you boo I love these kind of videos and also vlogs💗🫶🏾💐

[@shaesdivinetarot]

I love when you disappear and come back to chat with us 💜💜 maybe cause I take media breaks too 😂 but it’s refreshing & this is like a girl chat to me

[@RedHeelsSmartyPants]

I got married young, and literally the one thing ppl have said for the past 4 years of our marriage is that we’re either pregnant or need to get pregnant. My husband and I decided against because we needed to learn each other and how to co exist in the same environment. I know people that have had kids right after getting married and are struggling in their marriage because parenthood took over. The BEST piece of advice I can give newlyweds are to wait before having Children. Learn your new role and solidify that.

[@lovelyek8187]

A man gotta be well rounded for me, i like 50/50 everything, house chores, finances, hobbies, spiritual, physical EVERYTHING!!

[@leleedaniels2413]

Congrats girl. This video was sooo relatable even the part about the stylist situation. As a SAHM/ Housewife it’s so easy to lose yourself and very hard to find yourself again. I’m currently going through this. I’m happy for you that you figured that out before you had kids. Girl I believe in you!

[@L0oking4tharealest]

Hi Kathryn! I love your videos and I really enjoyed this chit chat GRWM. My favorite part was when you talked about going back to school to get another bachelor's degree. Tbh that really inspired me to stay in school. I'm currently a sophomore in college majoring in Political Science.

[@KathrynBedell]

I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it! And yes ma’am, keep your head in those books! I’m proud of you and rooting for you! As I continue to post updates about my college experience, please keep me updated on how things are going for you!

[@Darbdoll]

Soooo glad to see you, missed you ❤️ I’m at target in the parking lot about to watch this!

[@heyitskmatt]

Organic Chemistry also was really rough for me. I took Orgo I three times and Orgo II two times. So sister, I FEEL your pain 😭. I have a passion for health & wellness, but knew I didn’t want to be a medical doctor around my Sophomore year. So I got my Master’s in Public Health and now am a project manager for a digital health/Healthtech company and love it. I say all that to say, I love that you’re defining what your lane, dreams, and happiness looks like and doing things on your own terms! ✨

[@ShortOne20]

I got my Bachelors in Health Sciences, and I'm thinking about getting my masters in Public Health or Heath Administration. If you don't mind sharing, does that field pay well?

[@AudaL]

[@shawnacieh7156]

WHEW! Girl! I was a microbiology major in college and girl organic chemistry almost took me out. I cried everyday. I was ready to drop out of college. the only thing that stopped me from dropping out was my daddy told me I couldn’t come home and he would not let my mom come get me 😩😭 My feelings were so hurt but I’m glad he made me stick it out.

[@Kay_ivery]

I had a similar school journey. I was originally pre-pharm and I believe it was organic bio that truly took me out of the running, I never had failed a class like that in my life lol and I switched majors and long story short I graduated with a business degree, specifically Advertising and I hate it. I have a job in my field that I have no passion for and look at other jobs as well and everything sounds so unattractive the work, the salary and I’m looking into going back to school to go into the medical field like I should have stuck out with in the first place. So congratulations to you for looking into yourself and actually making the necessary steps to produce that change you want to see. Because I was just “thinking” about it lol. The very thought of going back to school is soul crushing lol but like you said how we plan today sets us up for our tomorrow. And Tomorrow has to be better lol it just has too.

[@carlamoore2710]

First of all I am so glad you're back when I got that notification I clicked on it quick fast and a hurry. Secondly I love hearing about the epiphany that you had about your own life while reaching out to help someone else and help them feel better. That's often where we find ourselves and the happiness that we're looking for is when we reach out to help someone else and then we end up taking our own advice. That said welcome back, You've been so missed.

[@JesikaMonae]

I took almost 6 years to graduate college as well. My mom passed away when I was 21 and I just stopped going to class and I was out every night but long story short I failed about two classes and I had to stay longer. I am a strong believer in things happening when they are supposed to so you will be blessed with a little bundle of joy when it’s time. Best of luck in school!

[@renal2600]

Yes! I agree on how we can feel as if we aren't up to "par" regarding things and the doubts we have can hold us back from our potential. This year I had to learn that there are "normal' people out there and I had to stop letting how I don't meet the "standard" hold me back. It's good to see you're back Kathryn :)

[@briannanight8395]

I definitely imagined i would be getting my dream home as my first. Mainly the space as i know the amount of kids we want to have.

[@Nighttwolfe]

What you expressed about your hair journey back to relaxer is how I’ve been feeling. I have always been about ease but also still having my hair styled a certain way and that’s taking me back to being relaxed. There are a lot of things self care wise that I do myself to save money (my own nails etc) but having to deal with hair is not something I want to do.

I just love you my good Libra sis 💖

[@nenepassion]

I can 100% relate and I’m actually documenting it all on my channel as well. I was originally a nursing major when I was 17-19 years old in college. Family and life got in the way and my own inability to give 100% to the program, cause me to end up graduating in Psychology just to graduate!🤦🏾‍♀️ Now, because it’s hard to make decent money with a bachelors degree in psych, I’ve moved cities to go back to school. And I’m working 2 jobs while doing so!! It’s wild, but I just know there is more for me in this life and I want to do what makes me the happiest and most fulfilled.

Hey girl. I just wanna start off by saying I love you and your videos. I been following you for years. I am also from Memphis and that’s one of the many reasons why I felt so connected to you. I thought it was so cool to have a KZbinr in my city that Young,beautiful, thriving and just living life. Not only that I also attend the university of Memphis and I actually think we take the same class this summer lol (biomedical ethics). I wanted to slide up on your insta story so many times but I was being shy lol. So it’s safe to say you are just one of my fav KZbinrs I love the content you create and just love how you carry yourself. I really enjoyed the video a lot of the things you mention I to am working on. I graduate this December so I’m trying to figure out what I want to career wise and just with my life in general. I know eventually I’ll go back to school. I was originally just thinking about a masters but I’m going to look into the idea of maybe getting a second bachelors that’s kind of similar to the one I have now with is health studies/health science.

[@KathrynBedell]

Hey Kariton! Thanks so much for tuning in and for your kind words! Don’t worry about feeling shy, I’d love to connect! Maybe we can grab a coffee in the fall when we’re both on campus! But definitely keep your options open when it comes to determining your next steps career/school-wise. The possibilities are truly endless.

[@blahbabe16]

Love that you’re back! And I feel you on the going back to school bit. I’m honestly contemplating on doing the same because I feel super stuck where I am now. And the only way to advance is to go back to school. I’m super intimidated because idk how I’m gonna do that and have a full time job but I know that I need to at least try.

When you go for another bachelors degree do you have to take the full 120+ credit hours like the first degree?

Nope! My credits from my first degree rolled over, so I only have about 9-10 classes to take, and I’ll have a whole 2nd degree! So I only have to do about 1-1.5 years of schooling, which is awesome! But I’m not sure how it would be for other students at other institutions.

You and I are around the same age and I too have struggled with ALOT of the same topics that you discuss after you come back a small hiatus... Long story short. Don't be afraid to be SELFISH! YES! I said it, be selfish. Everything around you is a bonus to your happiness; the key thing is, even you said it, is happiness starts within... Friends, family, KZbin supporters, your husband, if we rocking with you. I mean truly rocking with you. We're going to be here by your aide regardless. How dare I unsubscribe or feel a way because your growing, changing and constantly adjusting to LIFE. PSA‼️ This is for everyone, possibly reading this. Focusing on you is a job until you leave this God given Earth. Quick example, your health & wellness journey at 35 may look completely different at 60. It's a job forever! Lastly, Mrs Kathryn...as a TRUE supporter. I obtained my Bachelor's of Biomedical Science and Chemistry, while pregnant. I absolutely did FAIL organic chemistry twice before I passed it the 3rd time, then passed Orgo 2 on the first attempt. My best advice is to force your needs on your instructors, create study groups, go to tutoring sessions, email ALL of your questions and don't hesitate to not take a full load when you take your harder sciences such as Orgo. One thing I also did when it came to study groups, I got with my peers that seemed like they were grasping the topics, at least...better, than I was. I needed the smartest people in the room at that point. I SWEAR, I didn't meant to make this long. Can't wait to see you accomplish what you deserve❤🙏🏿💪🏿✊🏿

I love your chats! Currently listening so I’ll be adding another big comment once i finish cause I have a lot to say lol

[@AliciaSharel]

Red is your color 😍 I was the same way, didn’t post because I felt as if I needed this beautiful background, etc. but once you start you’ll see exactly what you said, people don’t care.

Girl Ochem killedddd me. I’m still working on graduating undergrad w/ my biology degree. This really inspired me to just buckle down and finally take the MCAT

I miss the Mukbangs

[@KathrynBedell]

I need to add this idea to my video schedule. I used to really enjoy doing those!

[@KeepingItJassy]

Where do you find your clips that you add in your videos? They be crackin me up. lol

[@cadasiashields8435]

Hey sis! I just graduated in May with a Chemistry degree, and just like you organic chemistry nearly took me out. I had long days, and lots of tears but it made me fall in love because I actually took the time to understand it. With that being said, a moment of honesty.. with a chemistry degree the health care field is really the route that makes the most money. Like you said I could work at McDonald’s as a manager and make more money. I was so devastated when I seen that the most their offering entry level for a chemist is 24$ an hour. Chemistry is something you really need to LOVE to work in because the money isn’t the best. I’m so excited for you keep pushing!

Omg, this video is the one! I been following and watching for years and live your content obviously. But this video really hit home for me. It is yet another sign that the time is now for change and just stepping into who I am for me and nobody else. Im glad that you’ve reached this realization for yourself as well. I hope everything goes well for you! And congrats on enrolling into school again. 🥳

[@beatricelaurent5059]

Congratulations on coming back to you. ❤️ it’s crazy how me and you have SO MUCH in common. Your channel literally brings so much light for men 😊❤❤. And congratulations on everything 🎉

[@tiabryantlove]

I really enjoyed this video. I just started my KZbin channel a few months ago and got unmotivated to do videos just as well. The living environment that I’m in really has a huge effect on my day to day. One thing I pat myself on the back about is being able to be aware of when I’m unhappy. The journey that I’m taking has also led me to go back to school with getting a higher education. I’m an earlier bloomer, and had my first child at the age of 15. I’ve never got that freedom to just be me and do what I want. I’m finding my true identity as a grown woman and I’m appreciative of that. What I like about you is being aware that you were pouring too much into your wife role and reevaluating your situation and going back to school. I love that for you.

[@ILoveTariah16]

Missed youuuu 💛💛💛💛 girl we gonna be kicking organic chemistry’s ass together 😭!

[@TheCleaningStudent]

Organic chemistry almost took me out! Congrats! We are rooting for you

[@alwayzchilincynt8277]

Kathryn boo you better come on with them Diana lashes girl. 😂 No, but seriously … this journey through life takes time to figure out and sort things out - discernment. Being honest and true to yourself … self-reflection is pivotal. Continue to communicate with your husband and everything else will fall in place. You got this! 🥰❤👍🏽💯🎯

[@Braazilee_]

I really appreciate this video. A lot of what you said resonated with me and I pray for success for the both of us. God bless you 🤍

[@Braazilee_]

I feel like an ABSN would’ve also been a good choice for you but I would’ve never guessed chemistry! Good luck to you!

[@Nighttwolfe]

Chit chat videos are my favorite to watch. And vlogs.

[@KathrynBedell]

Yes you are that important Kyle Jenner ain’t better than nobody! And congratulations on going back to school! I’m in the medical field too (studying to be a doctor) it hasn’t been easy but never ever give up on your dreams and what you want!

[@laniquaturner4504]

This was actually a really good video! I’m glad that your back. I encourage you to keep pushing 🖤

[@briannanight8395]

I totally understand the relaxer. My mom actually went back as well. Her hair doesn't curl because of the weight of her hair. It is waist length. So she just flat irons her hair. She also lives in japan and doesn't have someone to do her hair. So it is easier to just relax instead of being natural. I personally am a wash n go girl. When i did have relaxers and flat iron my mom maintained my hair. I never got good at it and at the time i didn't have the money to spend on maintenence with a relaxer and flat ironing it. However i am giving myself a break and just getting knotless braids done on my hair as i am expecting.
