Time to be honest.

[@louisemckelvey]

Please please please just be kind to yourself. Life is hard enough without second guessing and worrying about oversharing. You're talking about the realities of life many of us not only understand but totally empathise with because we might be in similar situations. Never apologise for trying to make some money - we all have to do what we have to do to keep a roof over our head. Living in a house on your own is really hard when you're the sole breadwinner and billpayer, believe me, I know! Personally I really enjoy your content whether it's sponsored, shorter, non plant focused etc. We support the channel by watching because we like you, can identify with you, and you keep it real. Never apologise for being you 😀 sending hugs and support. Showing your vulnerability doesn't make you weak or less than anything, it shows you're human and that's why you connect with so many people x

[@crystalcrook2472]

Kaylee, you are only 35- look at all you’ve done already; you have accomplished so much through determination and hard work and I think you should be very proud of yourself! Setbacks happen, I think that’s just part of the journey. You have proven you have what it takes to succeed, be patient and give yourself grace. ❤️

@IAN-kq3cg thanks 😌 * flips hair *

[@prettyingreen]

I appreciate your honestly here. Sending you lots of positive energy!! I'm kinda in the EXACT same boat as you right now. I've been telling myself that the struggle IS universal. I think we're all kinda going through a bit of shit right now. I feel your emotions about shifting from plants, and I feel the same way. it's hard, and it hurts. Thank you for sharing this, and try and remember that it all ends up working out; because it always has, right? And we'll ALL watch no matter which direction you go in the future! You got this!

[@Chrispyoy]

Chris you two are my favorite plant-content creators, really awesome to see you here rooting for Kaylee! I really appreciate you guys effort and your honesty about the struggle. it really is universal (Asia here), funnily enough im currently going through the same thing as well in my field, going back to a 9-5 for some stability after almost a decade of being self employed (im in the movie industry not plants, but still).. the constant hustle to try to make thing work can be so exhausting and unpredictable to the point that its just unbearable sometimes.. but yea, it WILL work out, not because it always does but because you two are talented and hard working people, and because youre willing to do what it takes to make things work out, even if it means making some changes.. for me its a really tough pill to swallow but seeing how you two are handling it give me hope 🥲💪 Anyways.. Whatever path you two end up taking im definitely still going to follow along. We're in this together! Sending you two all the good vibes!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Thank you so much - this is so unbelievably comforting to hear. It's so worrying - I want us all to make it ❤️

Fellow UK resident here. Honestly the financial climate is terrible at the moment. Do what youve got to do to survive and take care of you and your babies. We're here for anything you produce for us ❤ I found your channel after Jenna gave you a shoutout and its been amazing to follow you throughout your life changes. Never feel youre sharing too much / too little. Wherever youre comfortable is the right amount x PS - The 'Im just a psychopath' had me crying 😂

[@oanaciurcanu]

I'm happy you're sharing the not so great things that are happening in your life, because, even if we're all watching other people to get our minds off of our own problems, it's it's a good feeling realising we're not alone. The fact that we're all in deep 💩 is not really ok, but we're not alone.

[@sarahcordova1227]

I tend to gravitate towards KZbin content that is raw and real. I appreciate your raw energy in this video. Life is a struggle. Work is rarely enjoyed. The stresses are real, toxic, and downright unfair sometimes. You’re a smart woman with many talents and capabilities (from what I have seen with my extended time watching you). Thank you for this. I’m a person who believes in prayer, so prayers are sent your way, along with positive energy and strength. It’s not a weakness to show vulnerability. It’s a strength not many possess in your industry. ❤ you and everything you do and say!!😊

[@violetgrimm4]

I run a business too (8years) and today's climate is making me feel like I need to get a second job to make ends meet. I think a lot of people are in the same boat! It's testing times and I've cried too I empathize with you.

I relate to this!! It’s so hard to afford rent, food etc in the world that we live in now. I totally understand, and don’t feel bad ♥️ We’re here for you! I personally don’t mind the sponsorships, you need to make a living like everyone else!

[@meredithdavis5167]

We're here for you and your content. Throw in all the sponsorships you need! I've used your SquareSpace and Skillshare codes! Good stuff. Plus, I quite like the way you film and edit in your sponsorships. I was hoping your product line would support you. I'd love to get my hands on your stuff here in the States, but I can't afford to order the pon even... The struggle is real here too! Solidarity. 💚

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

I likewise have no issue with more sponsorships and such. I'm much in the same boat as you, I guess we are all riding the struggle bus and Kaylee is gonna drive? 😂 We're in our own girl, we get it, trust me. Do what you do, we are here for it, and here for you, I don't strictly watch because of plants. I watch for Kaylee and the personality, especially the honesty and transparency.

[@meredithdavis5167]

@@goosenotmaverick1156 You said it so well!

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

@meredithdavis5167 thank you! There's so many plant content creators. Almost none I keep up with as much as I used to, if at all. Except Kaylee. Something different about this gal that just keeps me coming back. It's gotta partially be the humor, but I think a lot of it has to be how relatable she tries to stay. I probably watch more of the videos that are vlpg style than I do the produced ones. The repot with me series is fantastic. I was seriously invested in the horse story and I'm furthest from an equestrian. She's just an all around fantastic person and creator IMO. Keeping it real.

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

I'm crying, because I know how hard it is when you live alone and you have to make tough decisions. In a few months I will have to leave my plants and my cat with my parents to get well in a hospital for a year. It took me two years to make that decision. You're very brave, and it is heartwarming to see you talking about it. I'm sending you the biggest hug I can!

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

I'm so glad you have people that love you to help care for your plants and kitty, and I'm proud of you. We all have our struggles. I know I have my own, and I understand how hard it can be. Give your kitty some pets for me, can they bring them with and visit while you're there? Thankfully we have video calling and such so you and your kitty can see each other, as long as that's a thing where you're going? I know that kind of stuff varies from place to place and situation to situation.

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

@@goosenotmaverick1156 My cat is a very anxious kitty, and my parents are elderly, so I don't know about visiting, or videocalls. I guess after a month or three I could be well enough to go visit myself. It all depends on how therapy is going. I'm going for intensive trauma therapy, since regular therapy hasn't been cutting it anymore these past two years. I'm going in for "the grand tour' at the end of the month, so I'll get to know more of the inner workings and culture of the hospital. I will be pleading my case to bring along as much of my plants as possible though. Thank you for your kind words!

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

@@pinstripesuitandheels hopefully they'll let you bring some! I could see where it could be argued that it's beneficial to your mental health and in no way should be a burden to staff or really have any effects on them so long as they don't have any specific allergies. Good luck, and much love ❤️ My kitty has severe separation anxiety. I get that on a level many won't 🤣

Kaylee dont be too hard on yourself. 2 years ago I got married, got pregnant, and got our own house. A year after, had a stillbirth and lost our house in a span of 2 months (not to mention my job for being bed ridden for the baby's safety). 35y/o I'm starting over again, I'm also looking for work that is less physical (which is totally out of my comfort zone, I have no idea when it comes to desk work).

I live in the US and things are bad here too. I know it's hard but just stay positive. That is the only thing that is saving me. To every time there is a season. This to will pass.

Hoover here in the states is a brand but we do say vacuum because that's a thing. :-)

Kaylee, I know you didn’t want to share the struggles you’re going through, but I want to thank you. I have been following the channel since its inception and you have been a constant inspiration for me in my Planty life. I have and continue to go through financial woes and to know others go through it makes me feel like I am not alone. Keep your head up, we are happy to support ya! Will ya have some updates for the plant shop soon? I am in the market for one of your Delta’s :) Keep chugging along, your honesty if refreshing

Sending you much love and best wishes. You just do your best. You will find solutions. I don't mind about sponsorship or if you post a bit less because you have less time. Take care of you and your pets. It will be allright ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for everything you share with us

[@MarySilver-sp8jm]

We love you Kaylee.

Wow. You've quite the journey here on KZbin. I remember the very early videos. I thought: Okay, she's pretty as hell, but does she really know about plants. And know you did. :D Now, it's like watching an old friend talk about life. Things happen. I took on a part-time position to help me grow my SaaS startup. We do what we have to do. You got this! Bring in the sponsors, dial it down in frequency, remember to enjoy life a little if you can. We're not meant to work 24/7. Sending big hugs!

Sending you sooo much love. Life is hard and you can only do your best. Try to be kind to yourself. ::hugs:: (Also I'm going to school for software engineering and you're not kidding... it's a lot so be gentle with yourself there, too. You'll get back into it in no time if you go back! One day at a time 💛)

Kaylee, I've been watching your content since 2020 and have seen how much you've grown and all that you've accomplished! I always appreciate your honesty and hope you continue creating content. But if you do return to programming, I’d love to hear more about your journey there. Even though you left that job a while ago, you actually inspired me to become a software engineer myself. As a woman, it wasn't something I had imagined doing for a living until I saw someone similar to myself doing it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for that 💖

Pretty In Green is also switching up (I assume because they are also struggling to make a living in the current situation). It's just part of the wave of demand and supply. I hope you have a good future ahead of you wherever that may be and whatever you're doing.

[@kianamoore413]

Wow keep your head up we all go through high and lows and at the moment I’m blessed my spouse is doing amazing at work but the worry of lay off is always there with today’s economy! :( I pray things get better soon I have said it’s sad that back in the day my dad made 90k and man we lived a great life but now 90k and you can’t let your wife stay home etc sad how much people have to make to be as comfortable as before

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

Sending love and positivity for whatever is going on💖✨. Any idea when your feed may be coming to the US? Can't wait to hear about the books.🥰.

Life throws all sorts of rubbish at you. Hang on in there, better times will come and they are sweeter after you get through the rubbish. You are strong and will get there.

I got into the (AAA) gaming industry about four-five years ago now, I'm just a Concept Artist but working in UE5 has been a lot of fun honestly. Hope your journey back into the industry is smooth.

[@sunflowerhillhomesteadaust7887]

I've had to give up on my channel, its become really obvious that making anything like a living from YT nowadays is like winning the lottery...and its a full time job. So I understand having to deal with realities. Best of luck with all the stuff you're doing.

[@roseanderson8743]

sending loads of hugs, life ebbs and flows so do whats best for you
