I think the "rambling on" moments were so incredibly valuable for me. I really enjoy the chatty vlog style. The fact that you care about the topic and you're not backing down from being uncomfortable makes you an incredible professor. I can't wait to hear your Ted talk.

[@Nessabirdie]

bell hooks spells their name all in lowercase; I wasn’t sure if you were aware, but just wanted to pass that info along.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yes! I did know that but it slipped my mind while writing the caption. Thank you for catching that

[@WanderThisWay]

A 37 min vlog?! Let me grab the popcorn!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

♥️♥️♥️ thank you for tuning in!

[@janalewis3030]

Thank you for your honesty! I think it is important for people to hear this. Too many times, emotion is taken out of history. When I started thinking in terms of the individual, not the overall view, it made history more meaningful. I've been watching videos on the holocaust and survivors' memories, etc. and it leaves me in tears. What people have been able to do to other people for riches or just because they can is sickening. I hope you are feeling better now. I am sure there are more tough days to come, but I think it is beneficial because it sparks something - either in you or in people who watch you - and that can lead to change and having difficult discussions that are needed. Hopefully, anyway! :)

[@KaelynGraceApple]

♥️♥️♥️

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

Thank you for being so honest, both in that your life may not be the ideal fit or doable for everyone else and in how connecting at uni is hard sometimes. It's a shame that you feel/ have been judged for doing your phd your way. The fact that you made it there should be enough to know that you deserve to be there, but I know what it's like to not feel like it is. And thanks for also speaking about your area of study! It's such an underestimated part of a history degree for me that we look into those primary sources and start to fully understand abhorrent actions and systems in the past- it's such an important thing but can also be a lot to process.

[@twettybird982001]

Girl, you’re amazing! I really appreciate your transparency. I’m a second-year PhD student and I’m going through self-doubt, myself. Especially trying to find a research gap, I’m really invested in. I will say that you are doing amazing! I’ve watched your old videos of your journey from Oxford and trying to get into Yale! You DESERVE all of this success and to be at Yale! Yale is lucky to have phenomenal person like you! From your business to inspire others, teaching others and want them to truly succeed; you deserve it all! Also, can’t forget about Big Moo for her support! You got this! Appreciate your videos!

[@candicecaravelle9854]

I'm sorry you have had negative experiences regarding your channel. You are providing a positive space and service for so many. These people are obviously jealous and ignorant.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

♥️♥️♥️

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m so happy to hear London Boy and you are doing well and I wish you two the best of luck.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

[@patriciad6995]

Hi Kaelyn! I’m currently an online MSc of history student at UEdinburgh and there’s an upcoming research seminar on the topic of the impact of researching traumatic or potentially traumatizing subjects on our wellbeing. Idk if you’ll see this but if you’re interested, I’d be happy to send that info along to you. Take care and thank you for showing us your journey - you’re doing important work!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I would love any info you're willing to share! [e-mail]

[@thecommunicationschic3373]

I’ve waited to hear more about your experiences studying African American history. I just wanted to add to your point of it not happening that long ago, but also Blacks are still deeply impacted by the systems created from that period of time.

[@lecoindesprofsfle]

How can you manage to do so much ???!!!!! I'm still so confused. I've put my PHD on hold because I couldn't teach, study and work on my educational KZbin channel at the same time ...

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Everyone’s capacity is different ♥️ also I ebb and flow. The last few weeks I have been feeling quite energetic and excited about my studies and businesses so the amount of work is manageable. Some weeks I feel less able to handle the same amount and add in more rest. It’s all about taking it day by day and figuring out what your unique capacity is

[@nontobekoxaba9886]

Love the pep talk!! Currently enrolled for my Masters here in South Africa ... and the part where you said " i have all the finances i need" spoke to me so strong!!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

♥️♥️♥️

[@joymedley5352]

I read Horse with my bookclub a few months ago. It's a great read. I've been following your vids for a while and even had a consultation with one of your team members. It was a great meet but unfortunately life got in the way and I wasn't able to follow-up. My hope is to start act 2 of my life (I'm 50) with a Masters in Public History.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

That’s wonderful!!! I wish you the best of luck with this next stage

[@cfuller9202]

kaelyn - there’s something about talking about bell hooks (who was passionately anticapitalist) -> segue to talking about a sponsorship from a jewellery brand that just doesn’t sit right with me

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Fair point, yet I still stand by my citing of their definition of love. I am not an anticapitalist but that does not mean I do not read anticapitalist literature and engage with some of its arguments.

[@MyselfStrange]

I really really love this type of video, especially the sections were you reflect on your field. I recently finished my master's degree and am now looking into PhD positions, so seeing your process is always so encouraging and motivating. And your honesty about feeling uncomfortable or uncertainty is soooo helpful because it helps seeing that no matter what level people are at, uncertainty doesn't really go away completely. Best wishes and hope you're feeling better 🙏

[@emaf.]

Keep going Kaelyn! Thank you for showing us a bit of your life. It really inspires me to keep going as well. Cheers!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

🥺 thank you so much

[@singlemominthecity]

I love when you share about your studies!

[@jandabarazi]

Literally came acrosd Saltwater Slavery at a used-books shop today (in Beirut where you rarely find such books!) and immediately thought of your research interests and videos! Maybe this is my sign to go get the book :)

[@KaelynGraceApple]

[@elizabetta00]

don't doubt your position and place in teaching the subject that brings you to life. like you said, if not you, who? lately I feel the less I let myself spiral in my thinking, the harder it is for my doubts to seep in, and I think we're all relatively the same in that regard.

[@athinaboumpoureka9400]

I love your productivity videos ❤I have very bad mental mood days and seeing a successful woman like you , gives me motivation to keep going chasing my goals ❤😢 greetings from a Greek living in Germany 🇩🇪

[@alexsandracavalcanti3179]

I love your work so much. And about not feeling part of the group, I get it. I am a former law student doing a masters in PolSci. I can not count how many times people told me I didn't "get it right" or that my observations about law "don't matter". Scientists can form a really toxic and competitive community, but I think our passion for research, knowledge and make a better world can go beyond it all. You get it all right and you can be proud of it. Love.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Congratulations on starting an investment portfolio! That’s awesome and all the best 👏🏽

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thanks so much!!

[@hannahmarie4672]

Thank you for sharing your questions, your thoughts, and your struggles as you pursue your research and studies. We share the same types of questions, thoughts, and struggles in the Humanities - it is comforting knowing I am not alone in these difficulties. My thought about the lack of scholars and academics presenting the difficulties of the subject: It feels so lonely when we search and search and come up empty with this, but maybe, this gap and lack of expressing the difficulties of studying it is an opportunity for US to fill the gap with the honest truth about the difficulties and struggles that come along with studying the field.

[@MaddieMettler]

I love Tori Dunlap and I listen to her podcast all the time! I have so many books I’m working on now, but I can’t wait to read it.

[@imanfaisal5122]

I am an undergraduate student totally obsessed with your videos🥺💕 it truly motivates me for my studies. you are doing an exceptional work, keep doing it. request for video: make video about use of primary source in research paper. how they can be integrated in research papers (for social science paper) and things about it.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much for this and for the recommendation! This video is in the works!

[@oliviak3679]

love your videos! in a video could you maybe talk a little about having a dog in grad school and how you navigate taking care of moo while in your program? thanks for all the wonderful content!

[@Ceshini1]

First off, let me just say how much I appreciated this video. I know you may have felt like you were just rambling on and on, but I enjoyed hearing you talk about your field of study and the passion you have for it is tangible. Also, I appreciate you sharing your self-doubts with us. I mean, personally I think you are awesome, but I realize that we don't always see ourselves the way others see us. Please don't let others negative energy get to you...the likely hood that you and I will ever meet is slim but trust me when I tell you how much I appreciate your videos; they make me want to study harder and be more than I have been. I am 36 and currently working towards a new career. I didn't go to college (that's another story for another day), but I am working towards my bachelor's degree and trying to decide if I want to pursue English or Psychology...I am leaning more towards Psychology. The point is, watching videos like yours keep me encouraged, focused, and determined to push myself. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@margjec7508]

Your best is always enough, because you can’t do more than your best ❤ and your best will always look different at any given moment.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you ♥️

[@cjram]

I just started reading this book as well

[@EmiWoodScully]

First of all, I really love your videos! They are such an inspiration to me… I am also a third year PhD student. I am currently working on my prospectus and I’m having a really difficult time tying everything together and coming up with a clear, concise thesis statement. Any tips? Also, your dog is adorable! Lastly, I will be traveling to London in June for the first time to present a paper at a conference there… It would be great if you could make a video on London travel tips! Oh! I also love seeing my old stomping grounds… I am from and grew up in Guilford Connecticut. Keep up the great work!

[@nattynoodlenutkin]

I'm so behind! Time to binge watch your videos! Hope you're doing really well!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Aw! I hope you enjoy them!!!

[@SarinaMotta]

That pep talk with Shanell made me tear up, I wish her the best ❤️

[@ruubytues]

I’ve always wondered how your area of study might affect you. Really interesting vlog. Thanks for sharing

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Btw I loved your book recommendations.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Aw yay!

[@bimmachica]

Hi Kaelyn! You mentioned in this segment wanting to make Accepted's services more beneficial for those outside of academia. I just wanted to at least comment in brief that you and your team's content has been immeasurably helpful to me as a professional in the sciences. I'm an infectious disease epidemiologist working on the practice side (so my last three years have been absolute madness). I SO wish I had your insight and organizational content in my toolkit when I was a student, but I've still found it so helpful post-academia. I'm interested to see what you come up with, and would be happy to expand on some of the needs I've identified for those of us who are outside of academia. This is anecdotal, but at least among my colleagues, some of the frustrations are common - hard to keep up with developments in the field (i.e. academic research), hard to focus professional development if it isn't tied to maintaining a license, etc. Either way - know that your work already benefits those outside of academia and I'm excited to see how it evolves! - Julia

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much for this! It is so encouraging and speaks to what I hope Accepted can become in the future!!!

[@0901Lea]

Minutes 19-20 really reminded me of a course I am currently taking, talking about "Professional capital". The idea here is that professional capital is made of human capital (what an individual knows), social capital (what a community/branch knows), and decisional capital (the ability to make decisions in difficult situations). It is of course a highly capitalistic idea (duh), but it is an interesting concept. It basically explains how in order to be a professional, we need to combine the other aspects and share our experiences and knowledge with others. There's a book on this by Hargreaves and Fullan "Professional Capital. Transforming teaching in every school" which explores this idea.

At first I saw your desktop background and was like “oh what an interesting picture of Kaelyn with the AC logo” and then I realized it was to censor out London Boy’s face 😂

Thinking on the topic of how capitalist slavery was, you should look at Jennifer Morgan's "Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic." It focuses heavily on the intersectionality of Black Women and Capitalism and how that relationship changes over time. (15-1700ish) It really stuck with me as a historian and as a person. I understand what you meant by how difficult to process the work we do. Self care time! Another great vlog and at least we can see how passionate you are about the study ❤

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Jennifer Morgan's work is quite literally the basis for every footnote in my dissertation :)

You might find Dian Million's Felt Theory work helpful in engaging emotion in your work. It's from a different field, but it's helped me articulate why the distant, "objective/unemotional" academic voice doesn't work. 💙

Thank you so much for this recommendation! I’m adding this to my dissertation reading list

Hey i want to ask you something, I am studying phd in physics but do you know how to become a professor for the research or phd students.
