CHITCHAT GRWM: I'm Moving, How To Become More Positive, Balancing Life & Finances

[@JamiyaShine]

Yess, new energy means new goals! As someone who has recently dealt with depression & is currently redefining themselves, I want you to know that I’m proud of you! It may not be the end of the world to some, but I know how free and accomplishing it feels to have control of your energy & mindset. So yeah, I’m sooo happy for you! Keep that same energy 😅 excited for Katober & love the hair btw! 💕💕

[@TaylorWilliams01]

Yes I am looking to move next summer and I would love to hear how to do so & be smart with my money!

[@ceariamays6229]

Taylor Williams same !

[@torihargrow6740]

Lol see I knew you were my twin!! I just turned 23 and I swear I’m still trying to get everything together. Skin is out of control, depressed af, looking for a full-time job and working on my masters I swear I am all over the place. I used KZbin as my outlet, a distraction from everything else going on

[@Tori.S.]

Can we get a video on this hair . Like a step by step on how you apply it ? It looks sooo good

[@KathrynBedell]

Sure!

[@Watchme.naturally]

Yes please!! It’s so bomb

[@NayLeeon]

5 seconds in and I’m LOVINGGGGGGG that hair 😍

[@tayyyye]

Nay Leeon I was going to say that until I saw your comment, I def agree!

[@user-lolo14]

The hair is everything honestly

[@Chaeboog]

i just subscribed to your channel nay ❤️

[@pickney27]

soak your ear with warm water mixed with sea salt twice a day...that's how I healed my lobe and cartilage piercings quickly

[@raevanb.3957]

I've experienced the same with my ear. I just cleaned it with antibacterial soap and rubbed some 100% raw african shea butter, that totally worked for me. Also, I am from DC but I attend school in NC and I am a first generation college student. Right now I'm in my sophomore year studying Biology with a minor in Spanish and upon graduation going into an Accelerated BSN program. I have my hard times and I know I will face challenges but I know with God by my side i WILL get my degrees!! For anyone going through a rough patch right now, Psalm 46:1-3, Isaiah 43:1-3 💕💕💕💕

[@Jasmine-em7zz]

I’ve experienced a shift in the way you explained and it was the best feeling ever. It’s crazy how we can sometimes be prisoners of our own thoughts 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jasmineharvey]

I’m happy that you opened up about what you have been dealing with. I think that many people have the perception that KZbinr’s have life figured all out and that you guys are not human. But to see and hear you be so transparent is definitely refreshing. Love you Kat 💕💕💕💕

[@luckykaysie]

We love you Kathryn and so glad ur moving in a more positive path ❤️❤️

[@mercurysdaughter_848]

I use diluted tea tree oil on any infections. Definitely hire movers. It takes a lot to realize your own toxic traits I’m self reflecting daily. Instead of asking why me? I consider what do I need to learn from this. It’s not always easily but I’m committed to being the best me.

[@user-ys9zq2mn2r]

I love that you spoke on positivity! No one really relates ever, people just tell you to look in a better light.

[@BrelynnHunt]

love love loveeeeeeee this video! I relate to your bad moments not defining you story so much! keep working, you're growing everyday and its beautiful

[@melanieguerrero3530]

Kathryn Bedell is literally one of the most genuine people on KZbin. I’ve never felt so connected to a KZbinr like when I watch her videos. She speaks about her experience and truth and I love it, I just started my first year of college and I do feel so down and not put in my best and it’s actually been making me feel worse about myself and to see that she is going through similar things to me makes me not feel alone and I appreciate that she doesn’t hide this side of her❤️

[@KayHamsCorner]

I never really comment on videos, but I've been following you for a while now & you're my fave. I love how transparent you are & it's amazing to see your growth and how you are overcoming & taking things day by day. I too struggle with those dark days, and just hearing you talk about it is just refreshing and has me looking back at the way I react to situations, and deal with certain things. Much Love girl

[@ForeverShakara]

Wow just drag me Kat! Lmao I'm kidding,😂 but this video really woke my ass up as far as me learning how to balance school and work. I'm also trying for all A's this semester but like you these quizzes wanna try me off...🙃 But this week I'm doing better thus far and hopefully I can carry it out til December. Because sis I'm trying to graduate next year in December even though "technically" I'm suppose graduate this year since I graduated high school in 2014 but I've learned to stop letting that bother me when I saw others this past May graduate and I'm still in school. But enough of my rambling I just wanna thank you because you just really motivated me to do better, caused me to get a planner, and just overall live a healthier life and surround myself with BETTER people. So thank you Kat! 😘❤️ and I wish you the best of luck and many more blessings❤️❤️

[@shodneychirale]

I'm having a hard time balancing AND maintaining my life completely. Its a big mess right now. I have 2 kids and its hard keeping them and my household under control without breaking down about it. A listening ear is what I need the most 🙌🏾. Thanks for sharing

[@JehrDotson]

Absolutely, I had to hear this approaching this semester of nursing . ALWAYS ALWAYS set goals of the week .

[@brittneyaaliyah4223]

This gave me SOOO much motivation and made me re-evaluate how I’ve been viewing things in my own life. I attend two colleges and working 3 jobs and it’s not easy at all and many of times I think negatively about the hard days and down falls - so just hearing someone else showing how simple pep talks or affirmations can change your perspective is sooo motivating and inspirational 😌💞🙌🏾 love you and your content and I’m so proud of you!

[@brittneyaaliyah4223]

Oh I also forgot to put my insta for the giveaway: @simplybritt___

[@dajaazul]

Girl as a struggling college student I feel like I really needed to see this video considering I’ve been trying to have a more positive outlook on life and redefine myself as a person. I admire you for sharing these things, your maturity is inspiring!

[@Ariesborn]

When my mother passed away on my birthday last year I didn’t know how to deal with it along with how her only and older sister did her left me angry and depressed. I still find myself not knowing what to do and zoned out from the world, it’s still a struggle to get over it.

[@moncherie4774]

After watching it all, I’ll share my college story. I’m 31 and when I first entered college I had no earthly idea what I wanted to do, and that is ok! I tried my best in all my classes. English 101, I had to take over. Passed that, great! Business Writing, felt like the instructor didn’t like me all. Once, she told us to do a paper on someone we liked-I did Gwen Stefani and after I did mine she threw major shade and it discouraged me. I was really fragile lol. My self esteem was very low to the point I failed. And next year I will be going back with a clear vision. So to anyone reading this, don’t give up. My school offered school counseling for free so if your school offers it, take it! And remember your future is an investment so don’t give up. I wish I done things differently but what made me snap out of it was facing my reality. Hope this encourages someone out there ! 💞

[@carlamoore2710]

Kat thank you for sharing your story, 2017 and part of 2018 have been so tough. Like you I had an epiphany of my own and if hit me that I had not been thanking God for what he has been bringing me through. All I was focusing on was a negative when to be quite honest he could have been so much worse. But like you family members began to withdraw from me because I was so negative and that really hit me hard. What I learned from watching them is that everybody falls down and everybody fails but what I didn't know how to do when bad things happen to me was how to recover how to overcome the circumstances without falling into a depressive state. If I may suggest start to journal even if you don't have a lot to say try and write down all the good things that happened that day and let go of the negative and you will begin to see more positive ways to live your life and just how blessed you are. I love how real your chats are, and it feels like a real conversation not a script. Glad to see that you're feeling better can't wait for your upcoming video uploads.

[@afroqueen698]

I really needed this video. I've just started my first year of college, and it's been really rough so far, especially since I'm about 700 miles away from my family and I can't seem to figure out how to properly balance my life. But I'm determined to succeed and know that there is so much in store for me in the future. Taking a moment and listening to what you're saying has helped me to center myself again.

[@suzannegiroux5614]

I hear you about being positive and yes it is so easy to get in a rut of being negative. I really try to be positive as it makes for a happier me which leads to a more positive me.

[@SayMissaayy]

I feel the same about the “being negative” situation. I’ve just recently noticed that I am extremely negative when it comes to certain things & situations. Sometimes I’ll be in a wonderful mood then I’ll just convince myself into a bad mood. It’s extremely annoying, I’m try to overcome it because it makes me not want to be around ppl because I’ll start taking things the wrong way.

[@KickinItWithIV]

This is what our 20's are about learning ourselves we are still growing. This is our selfish years where we figure out what we like what we don't like etc. I'm glad you are feeling better. Realizing that you were depressed and being negative was the 1st step. Keep being kind to yourself and being positive you have a beautiful personality. Keep up the great work loved the honesty in this video.

[@shaystyless4179]

Use some anti-bacterial soap then apply witch hazel afterwards for your ear !!

[@Soulofbeauty__]

I’m so proud of you Kat can definitely see the growth in you . & God is definitely trying to get your attention girl just allow him to lead you and keep giving out positive energy ✨

[@marialorenaberdinnavarro2858]

I am also consciously getting into my finances. Ebates is also one that not only help me get cashback but records my purchase habits and in turn allow me to see my shopping triggers. I love your eye look btw! Simple yet glamorous, perfect for everyday and night outs. Will definitely try that look.

[@Ericaaajayyy3]

Definitely love how real you are about the things you go through in life. Extremely relatable ❤️

[@shanicegordon3087]

I literally loved your channel but I was battling with “depression” as well but I was trying to get into a better space, so I use to come to your channel for a better day but it was hard to get into it because I was like “damn Kat isn’t back yet.” But now I’m so excited you’re getting back into a better space and being more positive. Also, keep up the good work you’re doing amazing ! XOXO ❤️

[@chloeshaaree5173]

I love how relatable you are ❤ wish you all the best and thanks for the advice 😘some people like me appreciate it ❤. I've been depressed for over a year now but i'm honestly trying my hardest to fight it 😣 also i very thankful for the few genuine people in my life❤. i'm turning 20 on december 31st💃🎉🎈and my face would not let me be greatttt i tried sooo many things but nothing helped 😣. I agree i have alot of positivity and Love ones who actually push me to do better. We tend to be really hard on ourselves but at the end of the day you have to set goals and try to accomplish them to push ourselves further , really proud of you for accomplishing that goal to get 100% 👏🎉. We have to belive in ourselves because who would if we dont? I'm struggling financially, mentally and physically but my bf we are both going through the very same thing so we balance out each other and my mom and gran also could relate so they help motivate me, thank god! Sorry it is so long but i feel comfortable interacting with you , i really hope you achieve everything in life and accept certain failures , we are all human but dont ever give up! PS love the makeup look😍. Lots of love KAT❤🇧🇧. So excited for KATOBERRRR🎉

[@CharliParker]

Thank you for this video. I have felt all of these feelings that you have and I blame everyone and everything without stepping back and looking at myself. The way you think and react does have a long lasting impact on what you receive in life and whats given to you. I’m glad you came to this realization and I’m working on this myself

[@amazingallie2959]

I honestly felt all the same things but you spoke truth when you said how you deal with things affects your mental. I’m at a point right now where I’m learning how to be more positive.

[@chastinpolk317]

@chachastin Your quiz story reminds me of the time I was enrolled in an art history course some semesters ago. I hated studying and reading so I figured I could ace the first test without studying. I failed it and was so pissed that I wanted to drop the course 😂Instead of doing that, I gave it another try. So for the next test I was prepared. After the days we met I would reread my chapter notes. I made flash cards and studied them everyday. I took the second test and made a passing grade. I was so happy and glad that I didn’t quit all because I failed. It taught me that I have the potential to make passing grades I just needed to apply myself. It also taught me not to give up so easily. I’ve applied the same methods every semester after that and have been successful in every class. I will be graduating this December and I’m so proud of myself!!! I know my story may seem normal to others, but for me it was something special because I finally acknowledged that I have potential to accomplish anything. I’ve been so used to family members doubting my capabilities I started to believe them, but not anymore. Graduating in December is proof that I am capable of finishing what I started. It may have taken more than four years, but I kept going. Thank you for your story and I commend you on your progress. You are definitely an inspiration 😍

[@ellabella305]

Girl I totally notice that positive vibrancy about you you seem way happier and been looking extra amazing. Love it girl😍❤️.

[@kiaragrimstead1182]

my skin was doing the same thing. I don't think you should necessarily stop but sometimes when you get an actual routine it takes some time for your skin to adjust. That was my experience I just kept with my routine and now I see results.

[@Kenny4rmdablock]

That hair is so beautiful😍 A financial video would be so cool. I recently decided to go back to school after not going for 2 years. I’m just stuck in deciding what I want to go back for & it’s depressing cause I see a lot of my close friends graduating or close to it. But I’m constantly praying for guidance & motivation. And the side hustle thing I completely agree with because I work full time & somehow still feel like it’s not enough for me. This video was just something I really needed to hear. Keep on being an inspiration beautiful!!👏🏾💙

[@sincerelybrittany6176]

Really appreciated the honesty in this video, wow. Thank you. ❤️

[@GlowinNaturally]

We all have our bad moments girl! I went through a phase where I was being extremely negative & I had a reality check by my friend. I had to change my way of thinking and look at things in a more positive light. It’s good you realized it and made the change sis. ❤️

[@coriestyle6744]

I’m a sophomore in college and all of these things run through my head in regards to my future and negative thoughts. When you mentioned having clear skin and losing, thinking that would make you feel better...I can relate to this extremely!

[@carlieeeeeeeeeeee]

Definitely enjoyed hearing your experience with overcoming depression since it's something I struggle with myself. Stay strong girl, we got this.

[@torris4880]

I’m not even in school right now but this video is an true eye opener for me . October is an all around depressing month for me. I’ve lost my mother and grandmother in the month of October. From breast cancer and pneumonia and all of our birthdays are back to back 10th ,19th and 21and and they both passed on the 27th of October 3 years apart. I’ll be 20 on the 21 and it’s gotten to bad I’ve stopped celebrating my birthday. I’ve found myself really depressed sleeping for days straight at a time , no appetite and being mean cause i feel like nobody really understands. So i come to your KZbin for that voice of motivation cause i don’t have it anymore. On top off other things that’s going on in my life. So instead of me looking at this month as an depressing time of year I’m gonna try to look at it as a positive time of year I’m not exactly sure yet and it’s not going to happen over night. I know that was all over the place but thanks a million times Kathryn ♥️

[@blisssounds_]

My college experience has been such a rollercoaster 😭 I’m a commuting student to a nearby community college and it’s sort of boring but I’m happy that I’ve been able solely focus on my studies because I definitely would not have made it this far! I’m a year later than I wanted to be but hopefully I’ll be graduating with my ASN in May of 2020! 🖤 @kiraajhw

[@queent7668]

So glad your back to regularly posting 😊😊😊

[@Yonela_Nomvemve]

I love the GRWMs. I just love how you're so real, I don't know you personally but to me you seem like such a genuine individual❤.

[@iontheBOMB]

Flawless look😩💜I've been in that "depression like" state for almost two years. It can be draining and hard to get out of, but yes defintiely depending on how you look at situations can make all of a difference. Hope you're doing better.

[@lyvxo4582]

Please do more videos like this! I loved hearing you talk about everything

[@corenscornerboutiquemypapa3989]

Your hair is so pretty. I love it!!! Great job on this video. Beautiful look🙂❤️🦋

[@BlessingsandButterflies810]

Wow you are really growing and maturing young lady I love it!!!!:))

[@SimplyShakeila]

Girlll I went through a similar funk for a while tooo! Idk wtf was up in the cosmos but I’m so glad it’s over. I pretty much came to the same conclusion you did. Be more positive and positive things will happen! 🙌🏾✨

[@Danger9522]

I’m so glad you’re in a better space Kat! I could really tell in this video too. Your energy was great! Also I love that hair on you. You look so gorgeous in this video! ❤️

[@neffthegirlneophyte]

When I was in high school I had that same negative mentality and I just realized that it’s the reason I never reached my full potential. I’m glad I seen this video before I start college girl you might have just changed my life

[@chekeracooper]

Finally got the time to sit down and watch the FULL video but girlll, what you said about looking at things negatively and like glass half empty is really true, negativity takes control over you and your emotions especially when its coming from within. I'm trying to be more positive and happier in life like I was when I was younger and seeing the bright side of everything really helps with the everyday stress factors. There is always something to stress about but looking at those factors more positively has really helped me overcome my depression instead of sulking in it. Also I honestly would love a financial video lol bcus I need help saving, its high-key hard as hell! Also always HERE for the long videos🤗, I really feel like I can relate!

[@JamilaMiller]

I relate so much to trying to be more positive. Honestly it’s so much easier to be negative because that is a thing that is certain. Bad things will happen it’s just facts. When I stopped taking it all personal, I was able to see what you were seeing which was I needed to change my reaction and mindset because that is the only thing I could control about my situation.

[@briam143_]

this hair looks so good on you!! and yes law of attraction is so real! once you can control your thoughts and look at the positive in every situation your life will change! less stress more enjoying the moment!! i wish you the best!!

[@iloveepink09]

Crazy I moved out last year the 27th of this month and I was watching you move I said me and Kat moving out the same month lol 😂 and I got a new apartment also this year funny how the year just flew by and we have the same thing going on, I say call a moving company they will pack it up for you! I still have to get my life tho, I think we really just have to Pray More & Worry Less and put our mind to what we wanna do and do it! It can get done it’s in us already just thinking about it 💜 I have been just putting off finishing school going on 3 years but ima get there tho! I’m determined! Flawless makeup and hair as always 💅🏾

[@angelhicks9106]

Yes I understand completely! I felt like that too being the “it’s only me” person bc I was around that type of person. But I had to be like like Angel please stop. I’m getting better at that but I definitely am ready to meet more people that are positive. Bc I use to be near a lot of negative. Once I moved, went back to school, and up my career I feel so much better and brighter! Go ahead Kat! You are doing great!

[@HarlineApplejacks]

" A bad moment does not define us" I needed to hear that! thank you

[@princessannelacson6561]

Omg! I can relate. 😥 this past few weeks ,finals is coming we need finish some stuffs like thesis, projects, filming, quizzes and needed to be done. I am so sick and tired from this, getting insane how this stuffs get to be done together.. And yaaah finally finals is done and now I am getting ready for next semester intern yay. I am like you, somehow thinking negative things just pray for it girl. Everything will be fine. 😊😘 im so in love with your hairrr!

[@Makeupology1]

I needed this! Thank you for being so transparent and sharing yourself with us. The makeup look was bomb lol honestly you could have done your brows and that alone was a look. You are BEAUTIFUL!

[@hippestPOOterr]

Yes ma'am to your 100! And yes ma'am for the self analysis and actions!

[@SimplyShaiRN]

Wow love your video . It’s all about growth girl !!!! Sometimes it just takes certain trials or situations to get you to have that wake up call. None of us are immune to it .

[@ariellepritchett1]

I love this video so much I can definitely relate to a lot!!! I been stressing like crazy but I know god has a plan for me 🙌🏼💯

[@kasperg08]

Hey there thanks for the great video. I do enjoy watching you. You had so much great advice. I just turned 51 and it was still relevant to me. If your willing you can always learn from others. I appreciate you sharing. Be blessed😉🤗

[@Tamzbongeaux]

i was becoming negative alot also then i realized i was around a very negative person and she was rubbing off on me i had to clean my head, area and space . she didnt take it well but im so much happier .

[@lizzyalvaradoo5425]

I honestly cannot wait to be in college! I’m a senior now, but what I’m applying pre-med and I’m so passionate about it is exciting to say the least.

[@marlishajean1283]

Literally everything you discussed is what I’m going through right now. This video came just in time. Currently trying to continue to see the glass half full. Thanks Kat ❤️

[@ashleycook3607]

okay but this hair Kat! 😍 also, super happy you’re getting back in to a positive space, i’ve been struggling with that lately. just have to take it one day at a time, and focus on what you have and not what you don’t..

[@Lovegabb]

I’m so happy we are finally seeing you more!! & can’t wait to hear more about saving money to move😘

[@kiarapatterson9634]

Getting a side hustle is definitely on my to do list! I plan on going back to one of my former jobs as an seasonal associate. Just wanna do something on the side to have extra income coming in for the holidays ☺️

[@raichelle2404]

I watch you and Ruby! that got me so excited, it's nice that you're promoting her planner. Im debating if I should buy it cause I dont use planners in the way theyre suppose to be used yet but believe or not I'm very organized

[@aliciajohnson739]

I love watching your CCGWRM, I can see your growth in each one. Sending love and positivity your way 💛

[@benitapeterson36]

I love watching your videos!!! I always find something that you say in your videos that I can relate too. You gave some good advice about finances!!

[@breonnagoode10]

Omg I love how in depth this was and makeup and hair look flawless ❤️❤️

[@Cocogodess08]

Gurl! I was a post it queen back in high school. Up until i got my phone. now i put multiple reminders in my phone. Which can get annoying when they go off!

[@jaioflove]

I dont think you're being negative at all! In fact I feel it's the exact opposite your channel is amazing watching makes me happy especially when you share your life experiences you're my hero Kat especially when you said you had anxiety issues and depression and share that with your subscribers! I have anxiety and knowing that one of my favorite youtubers is dealing with the same things makes me feel good! I hope you share more about that anxiety isnt easy neither is depression is nice to hear young people especially of color be able or brave enough to share that its relatable I love it keep being you! 😘💞

[@bloomingbeauty6732]

Everything you said in this video, I can relate to. Especially when you spoke about being in a negative space

[@dominiqued2448]

Hey Kat, You can try cleaning your ears with rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip and applying Neosporin or you can try cleaning it with peroxide and a Q-Tip and applying aloe Vera gel after. Do this twice a day. It will heal right up within a week or two. I hope this helps you!

[@TheHareLife]

The same thing that happened to my ear piercing.I took the salt water spray they gave me when I got my tragus pierced.I would drench a q tip with the spray & rub it on my ear 3x a day and it healed quickly! I was the same way with planners and I’ve recently started back using one & it’s definitely helpful!

[@PatrishaLuxe]

I’m also thinking about moving to a 2 bedroom as well. I just moved in my place in August and i love it but having a second room is definitely necessary if you have a lot of things or just want to film, work from home etc.

[@KathrynBedell]

Exactly!!!! You should go for it!

[@akijahmonae]

Those chemicals peels are sooooo tempting plz do vlog it all for me ! And I actually really really enjoyed your rant I was getting ready right along with you

[@prettyindy101]

Girl I feel your pain I am in my last year of nursing school and I’m so over college! It’s so stressful and I can’t wait to be done!! By the way you look AMAZING!!! 😩😍😍😍

[@alexisedwards1238]

I can feel the happiness through this video loving it Kat💕

[@alliyahharrison6259]

I'm happy that you realized what was wrong and is working on fixing it. I struggle with that and feel the same way about not wanting to leave the house weeks at a time, but I can't explain what I'm feeling because i feel like to say you're depressed you had to have went through something traumatic. I'm realizing that's not always the case tho.

[@ALLTHINGSBRITTANY_]

Wow to see your growth from when I first subscribed to you until now is amazing keep doing your thang love ya Kat 💕

[@jessicajamaria]

So proud of you working on yourself & just trying to be overall more positive. I can definitely see the difference in 2018 Kat vs 2017 Kat & I love it. Currently working on myself as well! And this fall look was gorgeous on you❤️

[@tayyyye]

Glad you’re getting the space you need!

[@Dollyy_xo]

Lavish ruby Yassss I love how y’all support each other tbh

[@ReRe-jq4ft]

Hair is always layed!! Love the entire look. Admire you so much. I wanna go back to school so bad but I'm working to try and save up as much as i can. Keep up the good work.

[@shaystewart7447]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve too been struggling with allowing the negativity to out weigh everything else.

[@madeinstylex]

13:35-13:55 👏🏾👏🏾 i felt that... i also really feel you on the skin thing. im having major issues. its so depressing to still be dealing with it in your 20s! idk what to do about it anymore :(

[@ashcaptv7821]

Love the look!!! And you always give good advice for us young adults.

[@Slayitnae]

My skin has been freaking out too and I don’t know what’s been going on with it. I’ve been wanting to do makeup looks but I’m just so broke out lately. I understand the depression. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago with severe depression and it really does suck because I just look at things in a negative way if something goes wrong. Btw I found you a few weeks ago, and I already love you and your channel!

[@nedgymoise1379]

Tea tree oil for your ear, dilute it if you have to or just salt water twice a day ❤️😘

[@kbreezy830]

I love this ❤️ you’re absolutely beautiful and I love you Kat!!! And you stay giving me positive vibes. Congratulations on the new apartment!

[@emilywarren4931]

There is this can called "wound wash" at walmart for like $3-5 and that is what piercers have recommended. It works great, you just spray and go. It is in the first aid section in a blue bottle

[@imnetworking2k12]

26:13: PLEASE, START doing "plan with me's" I'd love that!

[@Withlove.ashley]

You’re the breath of fresh air that youtube needs ❤️❤️
