Grace! I've been watching you for about 10 years (I'm an old lady of 56)... and I've always loved your wacky humor... but when you start talking about more serious topics I get so drawn in. I love how you see the world. I myself went through a cancer journey last year. I was having nerve issues in my leg and during an MRI to check my spine, the doctor casually mentions a growth on my ovary. I had to force myself to get that MRI because I'm so claustrophobic... thought, naw, I'll just be disabled rather that go in that machine. But I conquered my fear and uncovered a whole new path my life took! Synchronicities! And it ended up being a rare form of a slow-growing ovarian cancer that my doctors says I'm more likely to die WITH and not FROM. I didn't have to even have chemo for it (2 surgeries and an estrogen blocker for 10-15 years)... so I was having a sort of survivor's guilt... like my journey wasn't very hard. Your videos were helpful just in the "this is what humans go through and this is a sort of shared experience." I stopped hustling to "be someone in my field" in the last two years... no really plan... just be a little worker bee living a simple life... except I figure when I'm older and done with tech and design (my field), I'll go work in a gift shop at a National Park. That sounds nice. I loved this interview and I didn't know Laura, but the two of you were great... and I now want to eavesdrop on your halfway lunch lol! Sorry for the novel!
Omg I’m so glad the podcasts are slowly coming back. Can I just say thank you, I just recently found your podcast and I feel like it has helped me so much with my mental health and has given me a different look to life in such a positive way! ❤❤❤
Really great video..love watching you grow on your own Laura.You rock..im sure u dont give yourself enough credit..so im here to say being a mom ..author comedian ..home owner.. business woman friend and partner is no small feat..Your doing it all..Way to go.!!!.Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family ❤
Grace 👑 has been in my life through, all the things for a very long time. Her choice to talk so openly with you gives you the kudos I needed to hang on as your subscriber
Laura I dunno if this helps with you regretting putting a video of you giving birth on the internet, but, I was utterly terrified of giving birth and your video helped me. It's always been a taboo topic in my immediate circle and everyone had built it up to be this absolutely monsterous thing to the point where it was a borderline phobia to me, which made me feel depressed because I love kids and really want kids and I just felt like I couldn't do it. However, I saw your video by mistake and yes what you went through was very scary and yes I know there are birth stories worse than yours however watching it completely demystified the monster of childbirth for me and now I'm way less scared... So there are some positives for sure! 😊
I have given birth 4 times, and all 4 were fairly fast and complication free. I'm not boasting, just wanted to mention it because I feel like a lot of positive birth experiences don't get mentioned because we don't want to talk over women who had traumatic birth experiences ...just reading your comment about feeling fear of it to a point of phobia made me want to say, it's not guaranteed to be traumatic. I hope that if/when the time comes fof you, you have a smooth birth experience! If I may offer 1 tip it would be to try to move around and be upright- gravity is your friend!
@@shoutingfactory3694 thanks so much for your comment! It's always good to discuss positive experiences, I feel like traumatic birth stories are important to discuss because obviously people may need to voice their trauma and people find it cathartic to share their trauma, which is totally valid and ok, but I feel like it's so important to share the positives too, so thank you so much for sharing yours too! 💕
I was also someone who was absolutely terrified to give birth. It felt like I wasn’t allowed to talk about that fear, which made it worse. I actually had to go to counselling when I was pregnant, because I was so so terrified of birth. I ended up having two babies and two fairly uneventful births. I wish more people talked about this fear, because I think it’s a lot more common than we realize ❤
This was so uplifting and engaging. Funny to think about monetizing recovery oral culture because “it’s not original”, that’s another saying I’ve heard used when a newcomer or someone outside the community marvels at the wisdom or tools repeated.
Looks like a set-up to me, so everyone thinks Stephen is a bad man. So what DID he do to be devalued & discarded like an old pair of shoes? What ''amends' does he really have to make? Let us count the ways.... 1.Stephen had an emotional crisis so severe and he felt so alone and devalued that he thought suicide was a solution. 2.Stephen began to doubt wokeness and grew concerned about the state of the world. TH-TH-TH-THAT'S ALL FOLKS! So a follow-up video would surely reveal the sham she's perpetrated. So maybe she picked a fight she blamed him for, canceled the video & broke whatever false promise she made that has him now publicly licking his wounds. So what amends should Laura make? NONE, because narcissists are always the victim or hero. Except she's not... 1.Laura discarded her loving husband in his time of greatest need; 2: Laura showed no regard for her children's well being, who do not want their daddy gone; 3.Laura shattered her loving family for no legitimate reason; 4.Laura led her followers to believe Stephen is physically abusive, a legitimate reason; 5.Laura LIED to appear the victim, when she's actually the perpetrator. Textbook NPD 'I felt unsafe' implies a multitude of sins and none are true. But she played it to the hilt in another callous & disgraceful video to publicly humiliate her children's father. Glad Grace had the class to cut it short.
@AstrologicalTools do you have children? Specifically a daughter? Have you personally gone through addictions? Have you ever been in an abusive relationship or marriage? Just curious.
"and like basically it had become really unsafe. he kind of lost it. um with the kids and had like threatened um suicide, not to get heavy but That’s what happened. And then like left to basically say like ‘this is what I’m going to do now’ and like I’m like with these--my two toddlers like...sorry, yeah.." Why would you publicly share such a private story and profoundly embarrass the father of your children? And that's bad enough, but you worded it to falsely imply that he threatened the children, when you know he wouldn't harm a soul, let alone his beloved children. It's YOU who's shown no regard for their well being, by shattering your family. So you lie about why. Why would YOU feel 'unsafe' when your husband was suicidal and truly unsafe? You've manipulated your followers - your 'flying monkeys' - to believe Stephen is abusive when his only 'crime' was having an emotional crisis and feeling so alone and devalued that he thought suicide was a solution. Ten years with a covert narcissist can do that to even the most successful people. So you created a cover story with you as the victim and hero. Textbook NPD. And what worse time to discard him than after he just intended suicide?!? Did you want him to go through with it? But hey no worries, he gave you the 'big house'. I'm glad Grace has the class to have changed the subject. No doubt she'd never toss her loving, suffering husband out like an old pair of shoes. No emotionally healthy woman would.
Sher has already shared this. He has already shared this. Does this affect you at all? No?? Didn't think so. Get over yourself & get off your sanctimonious soap box.
Loved everything about this. Been watching Grace since Daily Grace days and have always enjoyed her authenticity and sense of humor. I still watch "Sexy Grilled Cheese" when I'm feeling down.
I'm sorry you and Steven went through that. I hope he's doing better. 🙏 it was scary and wrong but if he was angry at the time it was likely not an earnest threat. I hate to say I've been there. Mental health can be devilious sometimes. This trauma I'm sure is what keeps you from ever getting back with him and that's fair. I do hope he's apologized and sewn the error of his ways. I'm glad you are able to co parent and allow him in your house and in the children's lives. ❤ my father committed suicide when I was 21. I'm 28 now. It's been a hard road. But God is good❤
It’s so strange to just say nothing after building it up as much as she did. Especially since she seems to be adding in these little snippets to make herself look LGBTQ+ friendly, while refusing to acknowledge the harm that she and Stephen have both done, and featuring Stephen and his music again in her content. I kind of lost faith in her integrity after she lost it on an LGBTQ+ follower on a live post, but it would go a long way to at least be transparent and apologize.
