Its Time To Tell You The Truth | Things Are Going To Change

I really love you guys and just wanted to give you a life update about how Im feeling lately. Thank you for being here and being a part of my fam here on the internet

[@TheRayjane]

Sharrah. You are such a beautiful soul. I totally get what you are saying. I always think this way. When the chips are down will you say I wish I spent more time on KZbin and my work or I wish I spent more time with my children and husband. I think you are making a wise decision. Your children will grow so fast snd you will wonder where the time went. I wish you and your family many blessings.

[@sharrah.stevens]

This is so well said!! Exactly how I feel. I don’t want to look back and feel like I’m missing the best years of their life. I know creating content will always be a part of my joy and life and I’m excited to be able to diversify what I share and how often I share it. Thanks for being so encouraging 🫶🏻🙏🏻

[@tgeetoo9451]

Amen!💗

[@TheRayjane]

@@sharrah.stevens My pleasure lovely lady. Wishing you the best life can give.

[@crystalfunderburk3504]

Well said.❤

[@crystalfunderburk3504]

Hi Sharrah. Family is first. Thank you for the content you've created. And we look forward to what is next. Blessings on your journey and success.

[@user-oi9rj1hx9w]

This is my first comment. I am a mother and grandmother. You cannot get these years back. Enjoy your children. Making your children and your husband a priority is never the wrong thing to do. May God bless your honesty and allow you to be the mother you want to be!

[@tgeetoo9451]

Amen!💗

[@jolynndietz3435]

You only get one chance with your children. Don't miss a moment of it! They need a mother who is all in. You can come back to KZbin anytime. Invest in your children's lives first. You'll never regret that decision! ❤ Blessings to you for your wise decision.

[@lynnmatney2993]

I agree!

[@melissaknavales]

Beautifully said! So true 🤍

[@dawnzeigler3493]

I completely agree! My kids are now in college and I see how fast their childhoods went! Everything else can wait. It is not a badge of honor to say “I can do it all” - it’s a fallacy. We can do it all, but not all of it will be done well. I am also encouraged by your honesty here because now I am at a place to consider other possibilities in my life. I love my current job, but have always worked part time (to make space for my family) and now am wondering what’s next. It’s hard to let go not knowing If the thing I grab next will be as fulfilling. Thank you! Enjoy your Beautiful children!

[@terri3696]

It is such an American “thing” to never take time or a break or a proper vacation. Honestly, it is unrealistic and crazy thinking. I am so proud of you for standing up for your family and your kids and saying “no” this isn’t okay, and it needs to change. You are such a strong person and thank you for letting us know. Sending lots of love ❤

[@morgenstern1234]

That's so true. Here you get 2 years off of work (paid) after you got a baby. It's so brave of you Sharrah,.

[@leonoraarmamento9469]

Yeah, i do wonder why Americans , mostly, are workaholic ..

[@rebeccabeard2964]

As a young mom, I totally understand how your time/attention/love for your kids pulls you away from other passions, and it can be so frustrating at first. But you're doing the right thing by pulling back (even if it means getting penalized at work), focusing on your kids and your own mental health, and recognizing that this is just a season. You won't regret it. Great job, Sharrah! ❤️

[@KatherineStirling]

Just wanted to say - we might just love the changes you make! Some of us watching are also in this motherhood stage - this is so healthy! And it's so relatable even for other types of work and life choices + being a mum! Thankyou for being real! You got this! I hope you have a lovely healthy break and we love seeing what you're up to when it suits. No pressure. You're doing amazing! Have a great fam time together ❤

[@01kmichelle]

You are totally making the right decision, may God bless you and your beautiful family ❤

[@brendawalker1913]

As a 69 year old who has followed your Mom and you several years, I am so proud of you for making the decision to put your family first. You will never regret this decision. I know you are a praying young lady who hears from the Lord. Praying for you Sweetie as you move forward!

[@sherryhudson9075]

As a grandma, I’ve experienced the same thing. Your husband and children come first. Always. Everything will come in time, when it is the season of life for it. You will never get a second chance with your family, but you will with your job. One step at a time and day by day love those babies and your hubs.

[@TRIPLEC4ME]

As a first time mother I totally understand and I am so proud of you for putting your family first. Godspeed as you continue on your journey

[@jenifergorman1223]

Go be a mom!!! No one can be upset with you for that. It’s not a job you can do over, you get the one shot with your kids. We will be here for any and all content you choose to share. Much love and understanding of your heart.

[@quishakinlaw9012]

Girl… let me tell you.. I have LOVED watching you grow on KZbin and IG for years and years! I recently stopped working my job to be a stay at home Mom too! Because I also was missing out on my two kids and just time I was never gonna get back and it wasn’t worth it … I do not regret, leaving my job. You have to do what makes you happy! I’m happy your choosing your family and doing what makes you happy!

[@celeste-236]

First time commenting. You’re so right, and so wise to listen to the voice within telling you that this season is for you & your children. It’s a short season where your kids really need you, and you’ll be so glad that you made them, & spending time with them, the priority. I don’t think anything else in life can compare to the satisfaction that comes from being the mom you want to be. Much love & happiness to you & your family ❤

[@girlforjc]

Sharrah, so glad you are sorting this out and following how God is leading you. You won't regret being more involved with your family. Time is precious. Love you.

[@jennifermahady2529]

We love you Sharrah. Your mama raised a smart woman. To know what your priorities are and to do something about it now, before the time flies by, is incredible. We'll be here. ❤

[@christinafaught1560]

People looked at like I was crazy for giving up teaching art at 42( AP/ Upper Art Dept Lead) but I'll never regret as I hold my baby. You're walking mom video made me so grateful for her and my hubby, 2 other littles and you for telling people! Ty darlin!

[@nieciebabe]

Girl, this is your channel❣️ Do with it what is authentic! Be the best mom, spouse, daughter, friend, neighbor, and person you are. I found you for budget friendly remodels. Found your mom here and watched you move across state lines and grow into a mom. Be present for yourself and your family. You will not regret those choices. As a nurse, when my babes were little I worked way less. In medical lingo, you are going PRN (or as needed.) We will find when you have things you want to share.

[@hillary3707]

We have your back Sharra! Family should always be first. You can let this channel grow and change with you. You can be who you are in this stage of your life and change your channel to fit your life and share what you want. How about tips on meal prep for your kids and family, or educational fun kids events around Tulsa, kids clothing hauls, children’s room design and organizing - whatever you are already doing in your life anyway. We love you ❤

[@sharrah.stevens]

Love all of these ideas!!!

[@eljacoby]

Me too! And I don’t even have littles ones! Most the time I’m just watching out of curiosity

[@kellyyurica8223]

I came for the interior design but I stayed for YOU! You are such a light Sharrah and will keep watching whatever and whenever you post! 💕

[@aoibheannkelly885]

Yes!

[@leeringerman2254]

This is why we are here! YASSS!!!

[@lizcarpenter2023]

I couldn’t have said it better myself!!

[@tabithatanner5368]

Exactly. I don’t think there’s any content she could make that I wouldn’t like 😂❤

[@divine34j]

Me 2 ✌

[@battyann1060]

Oh, Ms. Sharrah! I absolutely loved this! I started watching you from your mom's Christmas decor vlogs. Before marriage, before kids. Very proud to see you evolve into an even MORE carrying and thoughtful person. Putting your faith, family and mental health first is what I wish for anyone to be able to do. It will be a treat to see what ever and whenever you decide to post as always! ❤ Thank you so much! Take care and enjoy those babies!!🎉

[@2L82Sk8Bye]

You can’t go wrong listening to what your heart is telling you. You’re real life is your husband and family. Children grow up so quickly. Enjoy what is most precious to you. In another season of your life you can reconnect. 🌷 EDIT: I came back to say: yay for you! Sharrah do what brings you joy. Life is too short to be on the KZbin algorithm treadmill. I see the stress in so many Content creators and it’s not fun to watch someone “put on the happy face.” Do what you love. You’re a wonderful person. People understand you want to enjoy your kids and family life. So just share what inspires you and I think you will feel uplifted and less stressed.

[@lindseysherwood5376]

This is so freaking relatable! How lucky and brave of you to speak up and advocate for yourself for this season of your life. Motherhood is such a rollercoaster, and these feelings are so so so valid!! You’re seen, you’re heard! YOU DO YOU! We’ll be here!!!

[@itsmonie21]

Good for you Sharrah! I think this shift is happening all over the world. We have been so focused on making ourselves look picture perfect in the last 10yrs; and I believe, we are quickly realizing the true meaning of life and loved ones, through this hard journey of Covid. It has simply changed things. That being said, I can't wait to see what you have in store! I would love to start hearing about your walk with the Lord even more too! Share him with us girly! Thank you for your vulnerability. Many blessings to you and the family

[@UndividedAttn]

Girl! As a mother of 2 boys, 6 and 2, I can feel and relate to everything you have shared!!! The moments are precious. And having "me" time isn't selfish. Like a phone, you have to recharge. Don't feel guilty of what/how you're feeling. It's normal and its not forever. Don't look for balance. Look for harmony. Don't be the perfectionish. Be the "in the moment". My liberation from me to you. ✌️

[@dlm4501]

As a SAHM of almost 21 years, I can say, you will NEVER regret spending precious time with your family. Time is something you can never get back. Enjoy those babies, because before you know it, they will be all grown up 😢

[@carrieh922]

I know exactly how you feel. Be a present mom. It is the best time in your life. The here, the now. Savor it while you can. Much love to you. Being a successful entrepreneur, wife, and mother is so hard to balance. Sharrah… you can have it all, just maybe not all at the very same time. You are an amazing woman. Whatever direction you decide to go in with your channel we are here for it!

[@carrieh922]

You must evolve, we understand that ❤

[@lornoname6501]

Couldn't have said it better if I tried. Sharrah we stand with you and beside you. Let us lift you up n love and prayers and know that we will be here in all your seasons of life when you share them with us.

[@tammyfiala9014]

I am so happy for you that you decided to absorb family life! The world needs families and well raised children before it needs interior design! I look forward to watching you explore and grow!

[@dlm4501]

@Tammy Fiala. Amen 💯

[@Houseturnedhome]

I cannot tell you how much I understand this and honestly… I just want to say… good for you! Truly, this video just shows what a grounded, mature, wonderful person and mother and woman you are. I’m still going to be here for anything you feel like you want to post. I’m sure a lot of us will still be here. It’s been such an amazing thing to be and on looker of the last few years of seeing you guys grow so much and getting married and having your babies. You do what is best for you guys and I honestly think this is such an amazing move that really just shows your heart. Love and prayers of support for you guys! ❤️ You’re doing great!

[@bubblestar847]

I am ecstatic that you had the courage to make this transition. Praise God. Based on your Insta, I've sensed you were going in this direction for a while. Not everyone is brave enough to make the transition. Admirable and great content to boot!

[@cieloapariciocaceres]

You're not tone deaf. You're having a natural reaction about motherhood. The fact that you're wanting to really enjoy your family and invest in time with them, is everything. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful time enjoying the little things with your kids. They'll be big when you least see it coming. Trust me.

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

I saw your moms video about the change today, and finally decided to watch your video today as well, though I saw the headline of your vlog six months ago. I was very concerned about you last Christmas when I noticed you struggling to decorate and hold the baby, I recognized the strain. So happy you prioritized mental health and family. Congratulations on the new journey.

[@chadanddebwetter3822]

I’m so proud of your decision. I’m your mom’s age and as a grandmother, I feel so strongly that sometimes, young people get busy and the years can slip by. So, good for you! You’ll never regret this. My kids have done much the same. I am excited to see what you’ll be generating on your channel, if you so decide to do more family content. I’d love to see how to dye eggs with natural products instead of food colouring. Not sure if it’s even possible. Would you consider showing how to do designer beds with pillows and throws and such. It may be fun to hear where there are great places to buy kids clothes, maybe even second hand, or show a kids clothing swap party. Also, family hikes in your area. Your area looks so amazing! So many new possibilities and keeping it about what matters most to you, at this stage of life. Be blessed as you’ve blessed so many!

[@ThePathwayLife]

Go for it, girl! Keep bringing your honesty ON YOUR TIMETABLE. We love you and your faith and your family. Be bold and go in the direction of your dreams.

[@marymeyer6578]

Oh Sharrah, this is so heartfelt. Please know that we are your tribe and as your tribe, we will be here for whatever you want to put out whenever you can. I personally, love all your content. I do love the interior design, but I also love the cooking and the kids and just the general conversations. I am not a KZbinr so I cannot speak on the algorithms, but I am a mom and family is most important. Take care of yours and hang out with us when you can. Sending hugs and positive vibes.🙏🏼

[@crterwil]

Mom and grandma here. Enjoy the season of raising your family nurturing your home for your beautiful family. God has blessed you abundantly. You will never regret putting your family first. You can always work but you can only raise your children once. God bless you. You are amazing.

[@kimberlywheeler]

You got this! Life comes in stages and you will never regret the time you spend with your family. So proud of you! You have many talents, and those won't go away by shifting your focus. Your kids will grow up faster than you imagine. Thank you for sharing your faith, your priorities, and your wisdom with us.

[@t.m4755]

If it makes you feel a little better the algorithms sent your channel my way. I just paused it to say that what you’re feeling/experiencing is for real and that I’ve seen other content creators step away to reevaluate what matters most. Having 2 kids in a span of 2 years totally takes a toll on you (ask me how I know, lol). Take a break if you’re able to and post the content that you’re passionate about. It’s okay to change directions. May the Lord direct your steps and fill you with peace as you embrace the new changes ahead.💛 PS - I’m subscribing to your channel now.

[@gynger1672]

Congrats to you Sharrah on this! As a new 35 year old stay at home mom and wife it’s a new role for me and I have followed your and your moms channel all these years and I’m excited about the mother hood content! Thanks for being REAL about the pull of work home life! Your kiddos are babies for only so long! Good for you Sharrah!

[@luxerelaxation427]

Hi Sharrah !! I honestly can’t wait to see this transition!! You deserve the break and most of all joy! We love and support you!

[@rolacreative]

I came fore the interior design but I continue to subscribe for you, your personality, your authenticity and your great tips across the board. Enjoy the process and this shift in content! It might just be the best thing that happens for your growth!

[@Moderationisamyth]

You do you Boo. I’ll share my story with you and you can take from it what you will. I quit my job in 2009 to take care of my 4 and 5 year olds. I felt just like you, I was missing them growing up and I hated it. I stayed home and raised my kids. Today I cannot get a job in my field although I’ve been on MANY interviews. I feel like they see my gray hair and not my experience. I’ve since self taught myself to build and design a website (not in my field of finance and business). I’ve started my own KZbin channel as well about with zero subscribers currently 😅. But I feel what I did for my family was the most important thing I have ever done. It was so much fun and I look back on those days with pure joy and happiness. Although in today’s society I am probably considered a failure since I am unable to contribute to the household finances, I feel like I did the best thing that I could by giving my kids their mother. These are the most precious moments. Celebrate every moment with them.

[@tgeetoo9451]

When I took a break from career to raise my children, we did have to make financial sacrifices, but it was worth every penny. When I did go back to work years later most of the colleagues told me they admired that I had put my family first, and they wish that they had done the same.

[@gailtucker294]

You are an amazing woman too! What a wonderful gift you gave your family and to yourself!.

[@tisa6193]

Your family comes first! Share what you want. Change the channel as you see fit. Most people find in for you, not so much the content. It's your sincerity that we come back for. But second to your family. We will be here when/ if your ready to post❣️

[@j-ru5527]

❤❤SHARRAH, SENDING HUGS to YOU!! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO BRAVE! God only gives us 18 years or so with our children. You are making the RIGHT CHOICE and THE BEST choice! I have followed you since you had your first apartment and I can't thank you enough for all the time you've dedicated to giving content to us. I applaud you for investing your time and love into your little guys! You will never regret it! Thank you for everything you've done and made for us! ❤WE LOVE YOU SHARRAH!❤ You go girl! Protect your peace!💪🫶

[@bedriebeytula-sali197]

Hi Sharrah, you are evolving and your priorities are too. It’s only natural to feel what you feel. Every season has its beauty and no season is same. So, go ahead and do what you feel with every cell in your body you have to ❤ Your boys are gorgeous, and childhood is at the centre of everything an adult becomes. Well done for diverting from being part of an algorithm, you’re out of the matrix to have a real life. Wishing you all you dream for Xx

[@pamelamaurer2076]

GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I am a 57 year old mother of 3 children and was a stay at home mom. I think it must be terribly difficult to balance all that you do. Wonderful that your husband supports you and suggested you take a look at your life in "this season" of having young kids. I for one will still watch your channel, maybe even more often.

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

I am a stay at home mom too. Not my whole marriage but when I had my 3rd child, I knew it would be too much. So, I babysat in my home and it worked out great.

[@ragtimegals]

I had a baby last year and it’s soooo unbelievably emotional and overwhelming. Everyone knows that but for me it still hasn’t gone away. I had a traumatic birth. I feel like I should be “over it” by now and that people will think I’m lazy if they see I’m depressed. I will watch anyone on KZbin who is genuine and honest and that’s what you’re being!

[@weshasawi]

I think as a viewer, I prefer to see content that is made with passion and love, rather than a video made just for the purpose of making a video! So excited for you in this season of your life! And please share when you renovate that green bathroom 😅

[@veronicahelm5739]

This is the craziest thing. Several years ago I started following your channel for the interior design content. I was constantly redecorating my house and planning for seasonal decor. In December 2021 I had my first son and about 4 months ago I actually unsubscribed from your channel because that content no longer served me in my current season of life. I found myself looking for motherhood journeys, tips and tricks for toddlers, etc. This video popped up on my recommended page today and I immediately resubscribed to your channel! I totally understand that your perspective has changed and I am grateful to see a content creator who is being true to their heart and family values. Best of luck and I am super excited for the new direction!

[@courtneyhinkle9526]

Sharrah, I’m excited to follow you on your new journey! You’ve been a tremendous help with interior design over the years but do what The Lord puts on your heart. Being a mom is the greatest job ever! I recently quit my demanding career to raise my kids and it’s so freeing and the best choice ever! I’m happy for you! God Bless you!

[@tiah1927]

Sharrah, thank you for your candidness. It’s so refreshing to hear someone say I chose me and my mental health and joy over popularity(you said the word I was thinking) and success.

[@monicahartman3013]

I’m proud of you! Putting yourself & family first is SO important & I’m so glad you’re doing this for you. Your happiness is #1. Can’t wait to follow your journey 😘

[@huntingforhealthy1516]

You changed how I viewed interior design and during college when I was poor until I got married and grew a business and changed my life. You made such a positive impact. I think God not an algorithm brought me to this page and I couldn’t have needed this video more then right now. After 7 years of trying to have a baby we are pregnant (failed IVF miscarriage the works) and my baby has been my business I Am florist I grew it from the ground up and I was AGONIZING About closing for two months after the baby. You being courageous enough to share this made me feel less insane to want time with my child. To switch my focus and to learn to be a mom and give myself some for that when they’re little. Thank you for your encouragement in interior design, but also in life

[@charisamartin2152]

Sharrah, THANK YOU X 1 billion for being brave enough to make the right choice for the season you’re in. So many people have echoed this sentiment but it’s true: you are the only Mom your kids have! This season when they’re little is just that: a season. Meaning there is a beginning, a middle and an end. And you don’t know it’s the end until it’s too late. As a woman who was a stay at home Mom for 14 years, this is the most beautiful time! Enjoy it! ❤

[@cohleensamuel9745]

Sharrah thank you for sharing your heart and struggles of being a wife, mother and content creator. It's a lot and you never need to apologize for wanting to put your family first. I am a mother of two young adult children, I too am in a new season of life being an empty nester. I close my eyes and see my babies I open them and they have grown but I have no regrets because even though I was a single mother I knew how short and fast the years would go by. I promised to be there for everything and today when I feel sad I have those memories that warm my heart. Take the time you need make those memories and have fun with no regrets. We'll be here. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Yona_Isabella]

You're honestly one of the best interior designer, content creator, adviser, home maker and Christian I've ever known. I may not have been watching much but I've been following you here and on Insta and just seeing posts every now and then makes me see how beautiful you are as a person. It's also very admirable that you make a video like this. We all need this- this honest and confidence to say that life can be hard and burdening at times but at the same time, we can always set our priorities and schedules in a way that can make us live life happier and even better. Happiness is always found in God and then in our loved ones. It is not measured on how successful we are in terms of our career or other material things. For sure that is part of it but nothing feels more fulfilling than spending quality time with God and our families. I praise God for people like you and your family. You've been such an inspiration and role model for sure not just to me but a lot of us in the world.

[@lisalendabarker1416]

[@jenniferwagoner3134]

You'll never regret putting your kids first! I love all your content, whether it be family oriented, vlogs, renovations, or design. I'm here for whatever and whenever you post. Enjoy those babies while they're little, it goes by so fast!

[@Alexa_2208]

Your babies need you, and you need them. Those moments you cant get back. We love you and will be here for whatever phase of life youre in. Great content comes from you organically filming something youre passionate about, dont stress about losing followers or posting content, its the lost moments with your babies that matter the most! Juggling motherhood is a challenge but the best blessing ❤

[@yomairatorres6528]

Been following you for a while. First video I watched was about what my decoration style is but I’m so happy you’re not letting the world dictate what your family should do. It helps me as a reminder, with 8 kids and wanting to go back to work, to remember what’s really important. God will reward you for putting your littles and husband first. Good luck and we’ll keep watching for anything you do create. ❤

[@essieves1557]

Dear Sharrah, it is always okay to give yourself grace. Take the time you need to foster and cultivate your priorities and newfound desires. Focus on yourself and your family and give yourself the opportunity to discover your new passions. Everyone grows as the seasons change and we will all be right here to grow with you. We support you, no matter how that will look like. ❤

[@baileyott4355]

This casual and real content is exactly what I’ve been craving from your channel. The Lord is putting you in the right place ❤

[@deannawirtz5827]

I originally started following you after finding your mom. I watched for decorating tips. But I stay because of you. You are an amazing woman of character and are part of my you tube family. I love checking in to see what you are up to regardless of what it is. I actively pray for you and your family.

[@Stephms027]

Sharrah, thank you for sharing your heart and being transparent! I love that you are making this change with your content. When we go through different stages of our lives it’s only natural that our priorities change and I definitely felt that when I got married and became a mother! I’m excited to see the evolution of your channel. You’ve got this! 💕

[@dreamerher2]

I am in the same transition and I felt so bad too with my career and starting over with a tiny one when I already have my 12yrs old son. Now with the 2yr old I felt torn too, thank you for this video it really help me make peace with being in the presence and its ok to be in your own season. Internet will always be here but our littles ones won't stay little for long. To many success and many more adventures ahead for your new season. Thank you.

[@lyndakelley2377]

You go girl! Your family should come first. Don’t worry we’ll be around and support you 100%.

[@joys2108]

This video brought tears to my eyes because you are stepping into a new season of your life and I understand how hard it was to share your soul with all of us. Thank you for all of the time and effort you have put into your channel all of these years. Now its time to enjoy your babies! Make great memories with them!! That is when your heart will sing! God will handle the rest. ❤ I'm excited to see the changes that you make!

[@jackienelson4810]

Oh honey - what courage and God bless you! I am 67/mother and grandmother and I tell my children all the time “learn from me; let some things go.” I can remember being in the same situation as a professional at your age - it caused so much stress and unhappiness, depression. Oh, the guilt! Took me years to throw that away 😉 You are brave and beautiful - go honey go! 😘

[@libbyhaines3105]

Bless your heart, those babies and family come first. I stayed home and raised my babies till the youngest one statered kindergarten. We struggled financially but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Do what you feel in your heart and it will all work out .

[@erinlee7216]

Oh kiddo❤ I turned on my IPad this morning and literally stumbled upon your video. My first time here. I do think it’s Gods way of nudging us to connect with people. It happens to me often. I am oh so moved by what you shared. I am the mother of 3 amazing children, one boy and two girls. They are grown now, in their 30’s. I want to share with you now, if you don’t mind. OH HOW I WISH I could go back to the days when they were little like your children are. My husband at the time and I decided that I would stay home with them and give up the “toys”some adults had to have. We lived on his income. We were just fine. ALL my memory of things I did with them, playing outside, or going to a park, picnics on our porch when it was raining. We’d go fishing once a week when they were old enough. I can still see them as littles ones, and now I have tears in my eyes because I miss those little ones❤ They are all doing great, they are kind, loving, thoughtful souls. they give back to the community and put others first. Was life perfect? Oh heck no. I won’t go into personal struggles. Point being... you ARE making the right decision kiddo. You will not ever get these minutes.. hours, days weeks etc back. Please listen to your heart, I promise you, with all my heart you will ever regret it! Time goes by oh so fast. Yes, sounds cliche, as they say, but it is oh so true. Now, my husband and I are enjoying our grand babies❤❤❤...what a JOY and BLESSING! Funny thing is, we still feel like we are in our thirties on the inside! Praise God for that! Don’t apologize to anyone, honey. I worked at one job in particular when I was nearing my 50’s, and I became numb. I was in a dangerous place. Thanks be to God I left and began a new career. My point is, I wouldn’t wish anyone to feel what I felt over a job, being numb, where you feel no joy, no pain, no happiness, nothing. Go be with your little ones and husband and take care of you, and them sweetie! God bless! 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

[@madelynkern8195]

I totally get it! I made the same decision to step back from my career as an RN when my 3rd was born. And this last year has been a bit of a struggle to be ok with staying home with the kids. I’m proud of you forging your own path that is right for you and your family. And I’m thankful your husband is supportive!!! You are a good momma❤❤❤❤

[@user-ce9yl8vo6i]

I understand and wish you well as you enter your new phase. I absolutely will continue to subscribe and watch your growth and joy along the way. I had tears with you as you spoke. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family!

[@AlisonV362]

It’s so encouraging to others to witness you putting family first and trusting that because your decision is the right one that everything will work out. So happy for you!

[@bee-anca236]

Girl we love you! You could post vlogs, cooking, cleaning, chat and get ready- really anything - and I’d be here for it. Do what makes you happy- the happiness comes through and it’s gravitating😊

[@emmalynch1570]

Awww Sharrah, god bless you and your family. I hope you get through this time as happily and healthily as you can. I won't be unsubscribing - I'm sticking around! You were probably one of the first channels I ever subscribed to with your warmth and genuine content. Keep being you 💖 From a long term subscriber in Liverpool, UK.

[@athomewithshushana]

I am a content creator as well on KZbin, IG, tiktok & FB and it us exhausting. I am so in the same exact boat as you sis. The algorithm sucks and is not favorable of certain content and I too am struggling. I agree wuth everything that you have said and really inspired me to do the video thst I have been dreading lol. I am here for it all. I love you guys and your beautiful boys and I am here to support you no matter what content you create. I am a lifer lol. I am not going anywhere. Put your family first because this game will such the life out of your soul and for me personally my soul belongs to Jesus not KZbin. I respect your decision on so many levels and cannot wait for the new stuff coming out. Love ta sis ❤❤❤❤. Happy Spring. Tfs your heart ❤

[@JustineJordanCreative]

From one content creator to another, Sharrah, this has been the most relatable video I've seen on KZbin thus far. I've gone through the same thing in the past few years and admire your strength to share. I used to make "How to" tutorials but after 3-4 years, I didn't want to do it anymore. So then I created business tips and now I'm making marketing tips. I say all of this because I understand exactly how you feel. One thing I've learned in the past few years, people grow, change and evolve! I love your honesty...I love your work...and I love your truth. I've been watching you since I started my KZbin channel and you've always been such an inspiration to me and how I show up on camera. This is my first comment [I should've commented before lol...whooppss]. I'm with you to the end because I love the growth of your videos and you as a creator on YT. These are the things most creators don't discuss and I always admire people who take the time to share. It's something I have to do with my channel eventually. Thank you for having the courage to share. It gives hope to smaller content creators, like me, to feel seen when the rest of the world doesn't notice a thing. I love you so much and I can't wait to see your new content xoxo💙

[@barbaraward8931]

Sharjah I’m so proud of you for realizing this before years go by and then realize you missed out on the most important thing in your life that is your precious little babies. I have four and they are all grown and let me tell you that time passes by so quickly. Feel proud of yourself for making this move.

[@jenpho]

Thank you for sharing this. It’s absolutely understandable you want a break. Please take care of yourself. I love your videos/tips and will continue to view them. Thank you!

[@TracyLML1]

Good for you! I quit my job when my son was 1 for the same reasons. No regrets.

[@christil7635]

New life level unlocked. I hit this realization when I turned 40 or so. I’m 44 now. My most happy times are spending time with kids and family. I had to find a way to do more of that and not be focused so much on things that don’t bring me the same level of happiness. Kids grow fast and I’m glad to look back and say that I was able to be available for them during the majority of their life “stuffs.” My kids, 17 and 21, are good people and I’m glad I was able to help them get to that and I don’t regret a thing.

[@anjujacob9626]

Your honesty is what stands out- to us and to yourself. Your hard core followers will continue to support u. We're here for u gal!!

[@mabatoo]

I am so happy for you. I am fan from South Africa and I am glad you are choosing to listen to God and He will keep you.

[@rozbudell]

Those of us who have watched your videos for years have watched you transform into who you are now. You’ve treated your life like an adventure. Keep doing it! Do what YOU need to do. Change the focus. Go in whatever direction you want to. You’re on an adventure!!! Just don’t completely disappear! You may lose some people; you’ll gain others. Take time for yourself!! Do what you need to do.

[@michellecd4722]

I also want to share with you, (I wrote a different response/comment below) that I was a psychotherapist for 10 years. I had to close my private practice about two years following the sudden death of my only sibling as it lead to my health issues worsening enough that I could no longer work. I had always loved creative things, art, interior & fashion design, writing, acting, modeling, photography, singing, etc., but my folks always said those were "nice hobbies" but I needed to prepare for a "real job". So I did what they wanted & eventually became a psychotherapist which I DID truly enjoy & also became a life/wellness coach too. However, over the last 13 years since I stopped working, being on disability & slowly improving over time I've become reacquainted just recently with those earlier loves of art, writing, and design, especially interior decor. If/when I work again, I will most likely have some sort of combination of all the things I love, I'll create something that will speak to my heart. But for now I'm caregiving for my elderly folks., so like you, putting family first.

[@swonsley245]

So incredibly proud of you Sharrah!!! Standing & supporting you in your next chapter!!! Go & be the OUTSTANDING mother that you recognize that you ARE! Remain Blessed & thank you for an incredible journey!

[@amazing20005]

You have 900K+ subscribers. You can do whatever makes you happy at this point. If you lose a few, you will gain so many more who are drawn to the new content and style!

[@benicio1967]

I love this video. New subscriber. People will change and grow with you. People really are loyal for the most part and I have no doubt your channel will only grow as your content changes and expands. We’ll be here for your journey and hope you’ll enjoy the time you want and need with your family. ❤

[@forthistime6237]

Oh my dear, I feel you! As a mother, grandmother and woman of faith, I can say when you order your priorities, you are automatically blessed! Not KZbin or people blessed. I mean really, truly blessed. You know what I mean, so just watch and see! 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@ShyraDaniele]

I’ve seen a few of your videos and it was honestly this video that said to me to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for your vulnerability and authenticity in this episode. Very relatable. I hope you take the time, space & changes you want that is best for your life. Everything that is aligned to whatever your personal growth is will come to you. 🙏🏽💗

[@christineross7620]

Oh goodness, I haven’t watched you in awhile (watched a lot when I was decorating our house 😂) but you are on the exact road the Lord wants you on! All your feelings are so normal and God given. This makes me want to watch your future content! Praying for you ❤

[@Tamdel]

I have been feeling stuck and torn too. My kids are heading into their teenage years and I have been working while they are at school but I know my mind is spread thin. Then my mom got cancer and will be having chemo and I will need to take her to appointments. So I quit my job. I just wasn't feeling that it was right to continue working in a job I wasn't happy in when my family needed me and I needed time to take care of myself too. Now I have more time for my family and I think that it is the right place for me in this next season. Kids grow so fast. You are doing the right thing.

[@CassieDeJarnett]

👏🏽 I’m so proud of you Sharrah!! The years with our littles are so precious I’m proud of you for making this decision! It’s so unfortunate how the algorithm works - I follow a girl who used to do beauty but now wants to do homemaking but KZbin tanks all of her homemaking videos because that’s not “her thing.” I’m excited to watch all the new videos whenever and whatever you decide to share! 💕

[@lisaedelstein0118]

Good for you! What better way to inspire others than to put your family first? Prayers that God continues to bless you, your family and your endeavors. If you are making content you love, we as your viewers will love it too!! I came here for the decorating, I’ve stayed because of you. ❤

[@denisehuang7037]

Sharrah, the world needs more authentic influencers like you! Bravo for putting yourself out there with your truth. As a mother, i truly get it. Do what makes your heart sing. When your heart sings, people feel it. Thank you for sharing your life with us these last several years. You are being a role model for doing the right thing by being authentic. Much love and light. ❤

[@alyolsen]

Good for you, Sharrah! I have a lump in my throat listening to you right now. You've built a positive and wonderful community that will always stand by you. I love your videos and I've loved to be part of the different stages in your life. Thank you for sharing that with us! Your message is powerful: there are a lot of good things to pursue, but there are also things that are best to focus on: family, mental health, and enjoying life. I hope to see your beautiful face in a video again in the future. Best wishes with your plans!

[@ninarao8744]

Good for you Sharrah! Mental health, joy, freedom, family comes first. Your family will thank you for it. I know why you're emotional, I feel the same way. More power to you.

[@angiew5663]

Sharrah .... take it from a mom to 4, grandmother to 12 .... this time with your babies is so FLEETING and precious! You are doing the RIGHT THING! Follow your truth and your wisdom. I chose to be a STAY AT HOME MOM during the 80's and 90's ... that was frowned on back then. BUT, I have never once regretted that, and neither will you! Your family are your eternal JEWELS. We all love you, your content and your humility. Keep being you, keep being wise and putting your family first. This too shall pass; your are just in the Springtime of your motherhood journey! God Bless you and your beautiful family

[@lesleydowns443]

I came across your channel whilst looking for Christmas inspirations and have loved all that you have put out. If covid has taught us anything, it’s that life is short so do what brings you joy and everything else will fall into,place. Enjoy the special moments with your kids, your husband and life

[@audracole3043]

Love your decision and explanation! To put first gifts first and second gifts second is just ordering one's life, a beautiful, good, and necessary thing to do that takes prudence and even courage, but makes all the parts better appreciated!

[@MeekNotWeak77]

So proud of you! This video was such an encouragment to follow your heart and what you know is right for you and not be swayed and controlled by external forces! It takes courage to do what you are doing. You are blazing a new trail and leaving an amazing example for others in the same boat. So thankful for your openess about letting the Lord lead you, you go girl!

[@melissapelletier1335]

I completely understand Sharrah; my husband and I welcomed our son last year in July and kids do grow so quickly. I have to go back to work in the summer but I’m not looking forward to it because you feel like you miss out on milestones with your kids. Do what’s best for you and go spend time with your family 🤍

[@SpellBoundWriter2]

As a fellow mom (I have twins slightly older than your oldest), this might be the most “real” you’ve ever been: and I’m so here for it. Do what’s best for you mama: you’ll always be an alert in my subscription: for when you’re ready and when you’re not. ❤

[@sunriserun1]

Started watching you after I had my 2nd in March 2020. I started watching you for your interior design content, but when you became a mom I kept following you for all the mom content you share. What better way to "influence" people than prioritizing your family! It says a lot!

[@MissDuke2012]

Awwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I get it!! I love your channel and will stay around. I love your attitude. That’s what I really subscribe to 😊 Go love on those pretty babies! ♥️💕

[@kaitlinrobinson5013]

I’ve followed you for years starting with the interior design videos, but have grown to love your more family focused videos and IG stories! I’m in the same phase of life and I really enjoy and feel a kinship when seeing you with your boys, makes me feel less alone as a new mama! I have a 2.5 year old and 6 month old. Enjoy the time with them, I completely understand and paused my own business during this season too, I just love spending time with my little babies! Best wishes!

[@ameliagard1417]

Sharrah, this is exactly what I needed to hear! I have been through the exact process with my sister. We had a KZbin channel that blow up because of a shout-out and it was taking over our lives for the wrong reasons. I have two kids and now pregnant with my third, I have been toying with the idea of starting up again but am also not sure cos I know the amount of work involved. I don’t want to miss my 3rd newborn stage etc. God is definitely moving in a lot of creative mums lives and giving us guidance and wisdom in this area and I definitely think you are listening to his wisdom. Be encouraged!! You are making the best decision! All the best lovely ❤

[@angelaolive147]

Sharrah, thank you for having this conversation with us and not just falling off into oblivion like some creators do. I can't say I blame them for not saying anything before they leave but it does make one wonder if the creator is ok or is their family ok. Overall, no creator owes the world any explanation, IMHO. If you want to spend the next several years making cooking videos or toddler videos, go for it! Enjoy it! Those who like you will stay and watch those different videos, I certainly will. Life is too short to live for someone or something else. Be true to yourself and your family. Your YT family will be here. 🥰

[@kathleenhazy6126]

My last child is graduating from college this year and I know this to be true….Life goes by in a blink. It’s to your credit, you are realizing your limitations still early in life and making the adjustments needed for yourself and family. Thanks for your honesty, seriously, it’s refreshing. All the best.

[@heazelongos2824]

I totally understand what you feel. It’s a struggle to balance things and you get frustrations.
