[@brittanybalyn]

thank you for watching and being a part of my life xoxo

[@jessicadaniel6345]

Gosh, the last part made me cry 😭 My heart goes out to you! You’re a superwoman! If this guy is meant to be your husband one day, amazing! If not, that’s okay. The right man will come your way. In the mean time, you’re crushing it 👏🏽 My husband has a giant tumor on his right thyroid and we’re seeing his surgeon next Monday to see how soon he can get him in to do surgery. We will find out during surgery if it has cancer or not. So I know how you feel. Sending hugs & prayers your way 🙏🏽💖

[@mikat2782]

Got a bit teary-eyed listening to what your little one does get to experience with you as a single parent - all your love being poured into her

[@burnzzz2076]

I thought she summed it up beautifully.

[@heythere5817]

Hmmm you pour from different cups though when it comes to love, so single or not your kids are going to receive just as much love

[@kylierleverette]

Same! So beautifully spoken, almost like vows to arrow!!

[@esma9514]

Girl I can’t get over how good you look with that hair colour, absolutely stunning x

[@joannalee8525]

Ikr? It’s like it was made for her!!! ❤

[@Golf2foto]

100%!!!

[@feelssoft]

the way you talked about cancer... even though youre going through a lot physically... it sounds like youre in a good place mentally. how you spoke about your relationship with your daughter and the pros of being a single mom... i admire you. so proud !!

[@nafeesaaslam2317]

YOUR HAIR IS SOOOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!

[@sophiagarcia2498]

Brittany, the color palette in this video is amazing 😂😍 your hair looks the best ever!!

[@YolandaMLopez]

Having lunch, kiddos are napping… happy me. Love the intimate q&a. For a mom with no friends lol, this is nice.

[@brittanybalyn]

Kids napping, a peaceful lunch, AND you got this mom friend ❤ love this for you!!

[@bpielow]

Same situation over here. ♡ @yolandaMlopez

[@kaitlinross4348]

Same! Lol

[@caccrossley1703]

Same ❤

[@Golf2foto]

Same here 😅

[@bpielow]

This video made me pretty emptional. You are dealing with so much and handling it all with such grace. Arrow is so lucky to have you and to have a strong independent Mama as her role model. I have followed you for years. When i became a Mom I had to stop following most people simply because i didn't have the time for it. I will alwaus make time for your videos. Im sure many people that watch your videos feel this way but yoire that "friend" we can turn to in a down moment ot when we need some advice. I genuinely care about you, trust your opinion and value your time. Thank you for all of your honesty. I hope you are surrounded by people who do for you what tou do for all of us.

[@athena0414]

Im so glad I found your channel when I was pregnant. Never thought I would be a single mom when my son was just 9 months old, but all your advice on coparenting has helped me so much with my own coparenting journey.

[@alexisowensby7486]

I can totally understand what you are going through with your thyroid journey. I recently went through the same thing and I had 2 biopsies and very similar results to yours and mine recently came back as benign thankfully! just wanted to give you a note of encouragement. Will be praying it is the same for you! I know it’s so scary to just be in the waiting game.

[@lizg6149]

I had a benign biopsy since 2017 and got it checked yearly. I recently just had another ultrasound and they found multiple modules and I had a gut feeling it was cancer. I decided to get a partial Thyroidectomy and was recently diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. So glad I listened to my body - I’ll be praying for your health!! You’re so strong ❤

[@tayler2772]

I hope you read this! I have been following you for over 3 years, your videos are literally the only reason I found the strength to go unmedicated for my son’s birth. You bring so much strength into your home, your daughter will only know her mother as the strongest person she knows. You’re amazing, inspirational, strong. Such a great role model not only for your daughter, but for so many of us that follow your journey of strength. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@JM-cb3yj]

After a really bad mumma mental day this video really gave me an uplifting feeling. More people need to put this healthy positivity out there into the world. Thank you! Wishing you the very best of health and happiness ❤

[@daisysantana5828]

You are doing such a good job with your daughter! You’re a badass. I hope your results come back negative and you have a miraculous turnaround with your health. Wishing blessings and healing. ❤

[@JH-tv8zg]

OMG your hair looks STUNNING

[@Hgvmrsmeow]

All that love that you give her it's teaching her that once you live with a significant other all that love will be normal for her to see ❤️ you're a great momma Brit💖

[@PaigeHigginsVlogs]

The end gave me chills ❤ you’re doing great Brittany! We love you!

[@rubymuniz4114]

These are like my comfort videos! I’m not a single parent but I’m a toddler mom and your demeanor is so calming for me!

[@candacescreen]

I loved this video! Thanks for being so vulnerable.

[@kelleypeck1053]

You really are the mom I strive to be you are so genuine, loving and you can see that you just try to make everyone you love feel special and loved at all times I truly admire how kind and gracious you are Sending love your a superhero 🙏💕

[@sheshallbeclever]

I love your hair. The color is so flattering on you!

[@rawsteph4114]

Your response to the single parent question is just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

[@andrearoballo1254]

Im SOOOO happy to hear your mom is well! Really! Thank God 💖💖 hopefully your results will be perfect too, and in the worst scenario you’re amazingly resilient and strong and you’ll be alright 🥰

[@MarianneMedlin-dz4dz]

I really love your thought process and perspective on single parenting❤

[@l_7376]

LOVE love love your hair!

[@lifeofjenniferb]

I relate so much to “what do you miss as single parent” I got a bit teary, because it’s something I’m aware of but definitely a feeling I put to the back of my mind. Thanks for sharing yours as I feel like I’m not the only one ❤❤

[@noryyxo6509]

This made me cry 🥲🥲🥲 loved it ! You are just an amazing mama

[@hollyparsons4234]

Your hair is gorgeous!! Good luck with all your health stuff darling xxxx

[@nicolealvaro4851]

I so much appreciate your philosophy on coparenting. It has inspired me throughout my own journey to never forget to put my son first, and let the past GO. I’m wishing you strength and love during this “low point.” Ps- This hair color is SO flattering on you.

[@itscarolinemary]

Loving your new hair colour, you are stunning Brittany ❤🔥🥰 it will be interesting to see how close your natural is to this tone! And I’m interested to know how the upkeep goes, if you’ll have to get a certain toner every now and then.

[@milicaboljevic1477]

You got me tearing at last one, as a single parent I felt every word. Thanks ♥️ I know everything will be ok with your health ♥️ love

[@theodoracalexe]

YOUR HAIR!! 🥰

[@davidnsarah07]

You're Beautiful! You're Amazing! And I just love you girl-Never stop being you, you're such an awesome real down to earth person & we absolutely love you for all of it! Much ❤

[@brittanybalyn]

Awww thank you, sending you love ❤❤❤

[@Betterthanbasicivy]

The note to yourself about being a single parent really made me tear up, especially the wrap up. So beautiful Brittany.

[@amyblaire20]

god i love you with the darker hair. chefs kiss!!!!!

[@howtooperatewithabrokenmin689]

I was a married parent for a long time and my kids still never really saw those things for me 🥺 Love the positive spin, thank you for sharing 💕

[@callmeclaireee]

Ma’am. I’m behind on my Zoloft and your little one “gets to” list is making me cry at work 🥺✨ You’re both such good parents to your kiddo. She’s lucky to have two parents who make an effort for her, especially when they’re separated.

[@dejameenpaz283]

My fave part of my Monday is here !!!

[@brittanybalyn]

[@user-fd3mi7wt7k]

You hair looks amazing! 🙌💛 love this look for you Xx

[@bellekiley9077]

This is why i love Mondays!! Ill be praying for your health ❤

[@brittanybalyn]

Thank you ❤ I know regardless everything will be okay!!

[@suleimamagana4921]

I love that hair color much better 🫶🏽✨

[@Nutritionbyanni]

around 13:00 The way you re-framed that. I needed to hear this too Mama, sending you much LOVE

[@darianalexi]

Mr. Nobody! I haven’t thought of that movie in forever. It’s a gem! I’ll definitely rewatch, thanks for the reminder. 💗

[@raecat90]

Wishing you good news with your health. Also, I'm excited to see your next collection drop!

[@brooklynamanda6189]

Love the hair color!

[@melissatilton4427]

I’m loving your hair color 😍❤️

[@carinamaria_]

OMG when you were about to say your favourite movie I was thinking about mine and how nobody knows it, and then I hear you say Mr Nobody and here it is! I'm sooo happy someone else appreciates it as much as I do

[@Rowm222]

Great movie!!!

[@Ally.Taylor]

The last question, your response was beautiful ❤️

[@brittanybalyn]

❤❤❤

[@itscarolinemary]

I loved the note you wrote, it’s beautiful. ❤ it touched me as someone who grew up with a single mom & as an only child. I was born very premature and in the hospital for 3-4 months after I was born. My mom would receive a call and visit me every day. It definitely was not easy for her, and she has had a tough life.. but I am grateful for her and that she chose to have me & raise me on her own despite so many obstacles. My mom was in her 40s and once I was born she changed careers and went back to school to become a teacher. My grandparents and aunt helped a lot with looking after me. It takes someone very strong to go through all of these things on their own. To this day, she is still hopeful she will find a partner and true love. She’s a lover of romcoms and romance novels. ❤ personally, I just want her to be okay on her own, safe, happy and content. She is such a strong person and her story has taught me so much.

[@courtneykholousi]

Crying at the end of your note. ❤

[@Jennifer-vp2ov]

THE NEW HAIR !!!!!!‼️‼️‼️

[@hollyparsons4234]

That single parent section was so sad but lovely ❤

[@laurastewart7879]

As a recently separated parent who is in an amicable and really good relationship with my sons dad, I would love to see an updated co parenting video just for some helpful tips and some reassurance that things can work because I’m going through the motions at the moment. Thanks! Also fingers crossed for a positive diagnosis on your thyroid. Love your videos x

[@melissaosterwalder6844]

Being a single mother myself from day one, I related so much to the part you said about being a single parent.

[@brookehibbs-pearce6580]

I really love your realistic and loving view on things. Would you make a vid of you answering questions from us for advice on things youv got experience from ❤️

[@brittanybalyn]

I love this idea

[@REBELLOGIC]

You’re such a strong amazing human and mama 💛🌸

[@Pinupred21]

I admire you so much ❤

[@ashleyschultz6217]

The most beautiful ending to a q&a

[@tobulainetobulas3640]

Thank you for sharing! The last answer about single mum - I was crying holding my little one. I am single mum with three kids and I so agree with you ❤

[@michelleguerra9094]

That ending was the best …you are so strong and you portrait it so beautifully. I’m not a single mom but sometimes I wish I was because of all the peace I would get with my child, how you worded it ❤️🥲

[@ashleyarnold5450]

QUESTION!!!! What is his sign? Happy pisces season 💛

[@JulietteLatte]

The hairrrrrr omg

[@anad5238]

Love your videos ❤

[@love4clothes]

Sending much love Brit, been following you since your Norwegian boyfriend :D Very proud of you as much a stranger mom can be proud of other mom and hope all cancer results will come back negative:)

[@pinkweaselgirl]

This is so off topic but you look BOMB w this hair color!!!😍

[@TaylaBo]

TELL MY WHY I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY MR NOBODY!!! AHH I looooveee that movie

[@cheryl3316]

Crying at the single parent part. I’m newly a single mom after an 11 year marriage, my kids are only 2 and 3 and it has been really hard.

[@lauramantis5826]

I get you so much ❤❤❤ all the best for you 🌸🙏

[@braydenm715]

Closing thoughts- you are stunning please don’t answer or apologize for your weight unless it’s something you want to share. In my opinion it’s way out of line to judge someone’s health by how they look. Secondly, I felt the single parent thing. I’m married now and have long moved on with another child building a new house etc. but I look back on my little apartment with my son fondly. And when we met our josh, it was the right time and it all fell into place. But that definitely had my misty eyed looking back on those days. We were a family of two. And we were as beautiful and meant to be as any family is ❤

[@asey_bear]

Your hair is so beautiful that colour ❤

[@Golf2foto]

As a single mother my daughter has never seen my fight with a significant other. 😊She never has to share me really. Luckily we’re part of a great church and she gets to see/experience males serve, help, love. 😊 ❤

[@pamvakariann7161]

Mr Nobody is an underrated movie!! I love it too! I never hear anyone talk about it.

[@vikidoll88]

Right!? I love that movie

[@Rowm222]

I agree. It's my hubby and I's favorite movie! Very UNDERRATED is right 🙌🏼

[@keiri456]

I watched Mr Nobody like once and I remember like woooahhhhh, it gets you deep thinking. Also, hoping you get good news. 🙏

[@vanessalucienne3969]

I’ve only listened to question 1 so far but hearing you talk about cancer in that way is refreshing. I can’t explain it and that’s probably the wrong word, but as a breast cancer survivor/will be/am? Idk I think I qualify as a survivor now lol it’s just a relief. I like to hear that you don’t sound too too scared. Thank you❤️ and I’m sure they’ll get a plan going for you, if needed. But I’m pretty sure you would’ve received a call from the doc if it were.

[@bit1414]

As a single parent… I love myself for knowing you ❤❤ My marriage was arranged marriage, and was a sad one … got divorced at last with two toddlers boy 3 years and a girl two years We not doing co parenting and communication between us But they get to meet their father two time a week Thank you for being a happy single parent, that means alot to me watching you ❤️❤️🥰

[@ruebennomura9143]

Did good on your question and answer on this video

[@braydenm715]

I love mr nobody!!!!!

[@Golf2foto]

Just here to tell you how awesome you look with your hair!!!

[@vanessalucienne3969]

MR NOBODY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES! I’m shocked! You’re right, nobody knows that movie

[@khance19]

You always wear the cutest 2 piece sets! Can you please recommend some budget friendly options to purchase from please? ❤

[@brittanybalyn]

I linked these items in the description :) there’s dupes from Amazon!

[@Rachael2d]

Not sure if it helps but I have a thyroid nodule (ultrasound only so far, no biopsy) that is category 3 and my endo said that means they’re only moderately concerned, like cat 1 would be no concern and cat 5 would be very concerned. So not sure if that’s good?? I also have Graves Disease 🙂 And your thoughts on being a single parent were just beautiful x

[@JulieNick28]

Ladies. Even “skinny” women do not like being told negative things. I at 53 am no longer this way but I was very “skinny” in HS and early 20’s. People were cruel. It really affected my confidence for years. Let’s just not comment on women’s bodies PERIOD. We all come in all shapes and sizes.

[@vanessablacksmith3200]

lovely video

[@cassie3787]

Mr.Nobody is a very popular movie 😅 and yes it's a great film!

[@Badgirlgibbs]

Desperately need 20-30 min videos ❤lol

[@kaileeh863]

Bethesda III are commonly Benign!

[@jenf4616]

I lost 10 pounds after my 3 year old was diagnosed with Leukemia. I’m trying so hard to gain weight but it’s so hard! No appetite and trying to eat as much as possible isn’t easy. Good luck to you! I completely understand.

[@Nofoundation3965]

Girl you don’t need to defend or answer questions about your weight those questions are rude as hell

[@NatashaGraves555]

I Agree 👍

[@heythere5817]

Public figures are just that, public. If you open yourself up and say they say to leave a question people can ask whatever they want. If they don't want to answer it they will ignore it. Public figures are also often viewed as role models. So being incredibly thin is concerning to see.

[@georgialee5032]

I’m in a marriage where I’m struggling with the idea of leaving and my twins are 1 week younger than Arrow. All the things that you said arrow hasn’t seen with you, all resonate with me and my situation, the only one they’ve seen is household tasks being split. And it makes me so sad and scared for their future relationships that they are not being raised in the presence of a happy and healthy relationship.

[@liviavh2236]

As someone who grew up with both parents living together but not being together, I can say it really didn’t make a difference not seeing my parents hug etc

[@laurenmichelle4253]

Where did you get that necklace??

[@Serenaayers]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lauramantis5826]

Omg! I was thinking about my thyroid a lot oh maaaan 😢

[@teddy9999]

Hi

[@zombiesom]

Awe 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@l_7376]

Can you tell us about your tan??

[@brittanybalyn]

it's illusion bronze!

[@Blondicakes]

I think your ex could show some sort of loving, in a non romantic way, affection. Just, like him occasionally buying you something like an ice cream or bringing you a coffee, especially since you do things for him( like laundry when his is broken).

[@alisunflowerbomb]

I wish I knew you offline because I’m genuinely so curious about you and Cody’s dynamic. You navigated y’all’s divorce so gracefully and literally never bashed him or any part of that relationship. I wonder if maybe you guys just do work better as friends? Or like how it all went down! All of those things should be left off of the internet so totally understandable, I just think you handled everything in such a positive way. I feel like you have amazing advice to give 💗💗💗💗

[@Blondicakes]

I obviously don’t know them and don’t have a huge para social relationship, but I agree with wanting to understand this. I don’t think he’s ever been a huge fan of being on camera, from what I can tell, but I also do not like being on camera so I could understand that. I do think that if she didn’t go WAY out of her way when they first separated to be so kind and cordial, and put in effort, they wouldn’t be where they’re at today. I don’t think he would have taken the initial steps forward on his own. Again, it’s hard to tell things from the Internet, but it seems to mostly have worked out for the best.

[@samstreeter5070]

Ok, “you got too SKINNY again” is not a question. It’s invasive and cold. I’m sorry people are so invested in your weight when it’s literally the least interesting part about you. Let’s stop talking about peoples bodies 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Phoenixxco]

I just found ur vogue diy rock backpack tutorial lol I was searching diy emo backpack and it came up lol ❤
