It’s crazy to hear influencers say they don’t feel that successful when you’ve been watching them accomplish more and more every year. And you believe they are very successful. It makes you wonder what is this thing we are all chasing. Do you ever really get there or is it more important to enjoy the journey? But there are a lot of creators who just encourage you to buy more stuff and seek happiness externally. Consume, not produce. I don’t feel like that about this channel. But that doesn’t seem fulfilling or positively influential.

@@ClaraJohari I understand what you’re saying but that’s very different. Social media is one big highlight of everybody’s cap and “biggest moments.” You can read body language and physically see the struggle behind those fake ass smiles in person not on social media. It’s also easier to isolate and get your mind right and stay focused in the real world versus scrolling for hours on social media. I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just saying social media can be very toxic for the mind if you’re not in the right head space. Stepping away isn’t a bad thing and there’s a reason why social media breaks increase good mental health and decreases stress for many.

@@BlickyWhite Yea I haven’t been on IG, I try not to scroll Tik Tok and Facebook is dead to me. I made a conscious decision to step away because of how fake, phony, or ungodly social media can be and I’m not trying to be influenced by that. I didn’t mean to say social media isn’t problematic I meant the root cause of JEALOUSY is insecurity and discontentment and being covetous wanting what other ppl have and being a hater instead of learning from them if there’s something to learn. That’s all.

HI ISI! I just felt in my heart that I wanted to write this message to you. I have been watching your channel since I was either in the 6th or 7th grade, I am now a senior in HS preparing for the crazy journey that is college. Through my years of watching you I have gone through some pretty devastating things. I originally started watching for your hair videos because I had to learn how to make my hair presentable for school since during that time it was just me and my dad. I would force him to watch the videos with me so that we both could learn how to care for my hair. As I got older you were obviously growing and getting older too and it may seem strange to say but every phase of content that you went through kind of came just at the rights points for each stage in my life. I was in HS when you started the kitty hygiene videos, I was depressed when you started the self care videos, My skin was breaking out when you started the skin care videos and I needed someone to "talk"/ listen to when you started the vent videos. I may not know you in real life but when you said that you are living in an answered prayer I hope you know that that also includes your prayer for inspiring and helping those around you. It's funny but as you enter your cOntent where you talk more and more about your experience with God, my father (who is a pastor) has been helping and guidIng me more lately into the bible which is now leading to me making my own efforts to create my own relationship with God. I hope that if you read this it has helped you forgive yourself, because even in some of your darkest moments you were still able to shine so brightly and help others. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

First off WELCOME BACK ISIIII 🤎🤎Congratulations as well!! She’s a wife now 💍 But girl I love you so much. The topic on social media making you sad I’ve definitely felt that before. I would beat myself up saying “Congratulations” to other black bosses but low key feeling jealous because I wasn’t there yet. But I had to step back from social media and just speak life into myself (like you mentioned in video) and leave it in God’s hands. So I feel you on SELF REFLECTING because I’ve grown so much as a young woman. It’s very uncomfortable but it’s worth it because I see a great difference. But I just love your vent sessions sis!!! ✨I missed you tons🫶🏾

While that’s true for a lot of people, I think we often tell ourselves that just so we can feel better about our insecurities. Some people REALLY are having a great time and enjoying their life and posting on Instagram REAL happy moments and times. When they post otherwise they get talked down on or claim to be looking for attention.

Siissss I felt this video so much, particularly as a nano-influencer who's having slow but steady growth. Some days I feel so "behind" because the brand deals aren't flowing in and it seems like they are more willing to pursue bigger (but less authentic) influencers. *Confession time* I have even had moments of scrolling your profile and feeling less than because your aesthetic always looked so CRISPY and mine seemed so random. Of course its all in my own head. I needed to focus on ME and being MY authentic self regardless on if my bag is bagging or brands are overflowing my inbox. PERIODT.

I totally understand this as someone who has been unemployed since 2020 and lost alot because of it. Lost in love and was heartbroken through alot of it but honestly it's wildddd to hear someone in your position, with your career, with your friend circle, your family, your love life etc saying this but it just goes to show we all are human and we all want what we don't have. We only see things from OUR perspective and comparison really is the thief of joy. What helped me is using it as motivation instead of being jealous. It takes work and time to make that switch but it's necessary for your mental health

I feel and have felt EVERYTHING you said as far as insecurity, not feeling fulfilled or accomplished, comparing myself to others, perfectionism, feelings of lack DESPITE being Pro-Black EVERYTHING...but I'm truly surprised that YOU feel/felt that, Isi. That's crazy...but thankfully, you and Josh are having those important conversations that bring you "back to the middle." ❤️ I gotta keep it real now.... (I NEVER thought I'd admit this aloud, let alone DIRECTLY to you), but everything you said you were feeling about seeing other people's lives online is how I eventually started to feel about you and Josh. I first started out watching this channel for your hair content, started to enjoy your vibe and personality...then I found out about your couple's channel. And I usually don't do couple's channels but y'all channel was so REFRESHING, so DIFFERENT, so AUTHENTIC, so BLACK! I got a charge of inspiration and Black pride whenever I watched y'all. PLUS the depth of your content helped to educate me and even improve myself and my own relationship in a lot of ways. But then...that thief of joy snuck up on me one day. Slowly but surely, I went from pure, genuine joy from watching y'all to comparing myself to every aspect of life you chose to share with the world. From wondering why my skin wasn't as clear and my hair wasn't as "healthy" and long as yours to how come MY man isn't more like JOSH? (And this is HORRIBLE because I have an AMAZING man who's legit just right for me. We were truly made for each other, as I came to realize over the years we've been together)... So my little comparisons started to go from my internal dialogue to leaking over aloud into my relationship and my MAN noticed it. He knew of y'all. Even watched some videos with me from time to time. But just like how Josh pointed out to you the effects social media was having on your mood, HE pointed to me how I would act after I (binge) watched y'all videos and content...ESPECIALLY after y'all got engaged. We're not married (yet), and I started to feel a way about it. Seeing your joy and even how driven, focused, and goal-oriented y'all were for your brands triggered an insecurity of being unmarried and never accomplishing my own goals that's already been inside of me, etc. Long story short(er), he literally BANNED me from watching your videos lol. Ridiculous, I know. Like, how does a man tell my grown-ass what to do, right? But he was honestly doing me a favor and with my best interests at heart because we were getting into arguments and EVERYTHING just because my insecure self was starting shit! It got to a point where I would SNEAK to watch your videos, then I realized he was right. I started watching less and less, then that led to me turning your notifications off, which led to me unsubscribing from the couple's channel, then lastly and eventually unsubscribing from your channel and all your other social media, too. I had finally come to have the realization and make the decision to take my own mental health and well-being into my own hands and step away from social media altogether, just like you did. But after a long period of time passed and I worked (and I'm STILL working) on myself, you crossed my mind and I thought to peek in and see what was up. I STILL wanted to see y'all wedding content, you know! And that's when I saw the video about how y'all moved to Patreon. I didn't subscribe right away, but when I did, I was amazed at the content there and genuinely enjoyed it again. Plus my curiosity was satisfied! Lol. Y'all did the damn thang! But back to the original point, I truly feel and understand every point you made and I truly appreciate you using your platform to shed light on all these things so that we all don't feel alone or crazy anymore. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Definitely feel the same. I’ve always put more emphasis on my intelligence than anything else. Didn’t start emphasizing my beauty until college. But seeing my friend be a successful and beautiful black nurse as well as my peers from university both motivates me and makes me feel unaccomplished because I’m not where I want to be. I feel stunted but I keep moving forward because I refuse to stop until I’m at a place where I’m content.

And that feeling isn't something I can feel by seeing what others are doing, it's something that I haven't seen at all. My purpose is custom made for me and now I've realized that I need to find that within myself so thank you so much for that!❤️❤️ Also congratulations to you and Josh!

First of all you are so strong to admit this on camera and just keep things so real. I can’t personally relate because I don’t really have this issue, but as someone who I have been watching forever, I always just seen you as growing up and gaining more success. Not comparing to anyone else but truly looking at the growth, the love and spirituality you have in your life, you will see that that is success. Money, houses, cars, followers are all material things really and once you have that mindset, you will truly be happy for other people and be happy yourself. I love you ISI and I hope you get through this ❤️

I was a default believer too and I was really just talking about this to myself yesterday. 👏🏾💯 I was also the same as far as my life getting really chaotic that I started to dig deeper on that relationship with God, in my own way. Especially with that upbringing, you feel that you have to do things a certain way and a lot of the times those ways don't work for you which also influences you to continue to put that journey off. I literally just started over this past summer and it's been amazing; also there's a reminder that things don't have to go according to plan love y'all by the way

Hey Isi, i really appreciate the time and the effort you made in making this video. I don’t usually watch long videos but the moment I saw you on my feed, I just had to click. I can relate to a lot you said and I took a break from social media to figure my life out. It’s been the most empowering journey and I’m grateful to God for helping me on this journey. When you spoke about how no one knows what they are doing, it reminded me of a scripture that I discovered recently and I have been pondering on it. Prov 20: 24; man steps are ordered by the Lord, how can a man understand his doings. This spoke volumes to me. When life gets confusing and we don’t seem to know what to do we need to trust that our steps are ordered by the Lord and He will always be there to guide us. I admire you a lot and I thank God for your growth. I’m happy you’re back to natural hair content because I have missed those so much.. much love ❤️

Hey Isimeme I just want to say thank you for talking about being on social media and then feeling down afterwards. I currently have been dealing with the same thing and you're absolutely right about calling it for what it is and thats being a hater. I'm always happy to see other women like myself or even men doing great things but then I begin to feel low because I look at my life and feel as if I haven't done enough. It does take a serious toll on the mental health and iv'e decided to take a hugeee step back from being on my socials and to work on myself so I can feel more better about myself. So when I do see other doing amazing things I won't feel low or give off that hater energy because that's not me. So thank you for talking about this it really put a lot of things into perspective for me as well.

My favorite part of this video that reached me was that we have to forgive ourselves and stop beating ourselves up about the past or what we could’ve/should’ve done in certain situations. I look back at my past self who was skinnier and felt so motivated and would beat myself up for letting myself go. It’s a tough battle

Whew! So much content! Thank you for letting us in on your brain and being vulnerable. I've definitely been thinking about taking a break from social media but I haven't. I need to though but I be scared imma mess around and not be able to get back in! I definitely feel you on the grief stuff! I lost my grandma this year and she was a VERY pivotal part of my life. It is completely eye opening, alarming, and scary to see your loved ones get older and leave their physical form. It's something you can never truly prepare for and it makes for feel like you're living in an alternate universe where you have to learn to live with heartache! You're def inspiring me to take that good ol pause season and just cope!

Congrats!!! Gorgeous photos!! 🥳 Influencing, social media at its core is hollow. An artificial construct. You put the meaning into it or you don't. Good for you for always aiming to be substantive. Even still...having a career, passion outside of that world seems healthy and necessary. Keep it in prayer, Sis.

Hello Isi.. hopefully this finds you and great health, congrats on Your marriage an new endeavors. I wanted to just remind you that the same way you have come across these ephipanys is the same way we all do... this is why sometimes there are dips in our views. Sometimes people just need a break from social media, it may not be anything personal against you... keep doing what you're doing if we are meant to see whatever it is we will!!!! Stay encouraged

This conversation just goes to show that you can have the relationship, the money and the “aesthetic” of a successful life and still not be happy. Isi I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Let culture tell it and we will all be out here “chasing a bag” and chasing a life that brings no sense of purpose and true joy from within. At the end of the day only you can define what success means and looks like to u. But we get caught up trying to live life on social media and lose our peace trying to be successful in the eyes of others.

I love and appreciate your transparency about your journey through life. It is so refreshing to see and hear. I came to know you through your natural hair journey because I decided to embark on my natural hair journey about 3 years ago and my journey has flourished so well to the point where I get so many questions about what I do to my hair and I always just refer back to you and your channel and videos. I STUDIED your natural hair videos like crazy. When you decided to cut back on the natural hair content, I was a bit bummed not gonna lie but I understood it at the same time and still very much enjoyed all the other content put out like the self-care content you put out and also the wedding content ( hardcore josh and isi stan, love and adore yall's love story and seeing yall's relationship journey, it's so beautiful). I am glad that you have found your love again for natural hair content cause your journey was truly so inspiring to me and my journey. without your channel and your journey, I wouldn't be getting approached about my hair and what I do for it to flourish. Your channel truly has helped me not only when it comes to natural hair but as far as other aspects of life in general ( relationships, friendships, etc ). I am glad to see that you are rediscovering yourself again in a positive way and that has helped you come back into your next influencer journey. Continue to be different and unique because that is why we love you!

Isi, these exact conversations I have had very recently, and realized I have been having for years after self reflection in journals and in thought. I have been grooming myself for years with these same concerns. I resonate with you while watching your chitchat videos. You relate to a lot of us on a real level. That’s something that cannot be authenticated and that’s why you maintain a loyal following. ♥️ Thank you for sharing your world from your perspective; Know, I’m rooting for you love.

I feel you on all levels many of these stuff you talked about was and is definitely a part of me that I was hiding and didn't want to admit to . I usually would look at people's life on social media and be so jealous yet still claim that I am happy for them but there is something in me that is so great that other people would see it except me . The truth is I be aspiring other people's life not realizing how super blessed I am to have what I have that it's like a dream for someone else Thankyou for this I feel more free to know that I'm not alone in this and I'm definitely in a new perspective of life I feel so empowered thankyou once again it's the displine that keeps the motivation going that was most outstanding from what I have took from your message

Isi you hit it on the head. This is almost the same thing I have been struggling with and it was ruining my peace, comparison really steals joy and it was taking away from the special things that make me me and make me stand out. If a person doesn’t like me then my platform is just not for THEM but by not being me I’m missing out on my true purpose being on social media and in real life, I’m missing out on the beauty of my journey. It felt worse because I assumed No one was going through what I was and began beating myself up for the mistakes old me made. Learning how to live in MY TRUTH, who God wants me to be and what My journey and story to share is. Loved this 🤎 it’s heartwarming to hear you’re back ✨

It’s funny because I was like lord you gonna have to slap me in the face with a sign don’t be timid I need it to be obviously clear because ik I’m stubborn and hard headed. And this video hit on things that I swear it feels personally for me. Thank you Isi for getting to this point in your life, because you honestly just shifted something in mine
