VLOG - healing burnout & coming out of a depressive episode 

Giiirrrllll! When I say this whole video spoke to me! It’s midnight and I am still working on a project that I took on with somewhat unrealistic expectations from the person who assigned it. I have been “powering through” burnout for a minute now. Thank you for your tips. It so hard but you need to prioritize yourself. You cannot pour from an empty cup! Thank you for your motivation.

I just started this video but just wanted to say I’m so proud of you, Carter. 🥰 I remembered subbing when you were at 33k subscribers and then hit 50k subscribers at Disney World on their 50th anniversary. Now here we are almost 90k!! That is amazing. I’m so proud of you. Your hard work never goes un-noticed. Sorry you are going through this difficult time. It will get better. I’m rooting for you always!! 🎉

I've been following your channel for a while, but this is my first time commenting. I'm in my mid-40s, but I wish I had your level of maturity when I was in my 20s. I love your realistic advice about productivity and self-care. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs with us. You give great advice and are so inspiring!

Carter I’ve been a huge supporter of yours and don’t usually comment, but thank you SO much for being so real and honest in this video. As someone currently doing through a poor mental health week and possibly another spurt of burnout, this video is so helpful for strategies and inspiring self reflection ❤

thank you so, so much for filming this! i love your tips.. i am so rewatching this whenever i'm lost in my work funk and burnout.

Sorry you’re having a rough time right now. If I could offer any encouragement, I would just say that this channel, when I found it, was a big motivational stepping stone for me to get a lot of things in my life organized. The last few months have been great! For the first time in my life I have $3,000 in savings and just plan to keep this hot streak going for the rest of the year. You’ve also inspired me to pick up reading again. I bought a kindle and I’ve already read 4 books this year.

The people love you! Do not burn out on us! Take whatever time you need to focus, restore and shine. I've found your content so relatable & inspiring and hope you stay on RU-vid!!!!!

Carter, thanks for sharing your thoughts and heart with us. Healing is hard (you know this) but you're doing the most courageous thing by still keeping on your journey. Hope things start to settle so you can see what all the work was for. Sending love.💕

Girl, these last 2 videos were so amazing and so needed! Thank you ❤ And things will get easier, I dealt/ sometimes deal with similar feelings 😘

Girl you are fabulous, genuine, and we love you for it. Happy you are taking care of yourself. ❤

Hi Carter! Your videos are always wonderful ! Please please don’t ever feel like your videos are not good enough. Thank you for this video. It put a lot of things in perspective for me. I hope the rest of your week is fabulous! 💗🌻😊

I really appreciate this video, and it really resonated with me ❤

I loveeeee the yellow captioning. It’s a vibe ✨ anyways, another great video Carter, thank you as always, keep being awesome 🥰

Thank you so so so much Carter for making my night special with this vlog and I really needed this vlog so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 90K Subscribers very very soon!💞💫☺️

Omg this burnout video was right on time 🥲🥲💟

Needed to hear this today after working 12 hours while being sick

Thanks for the tips and tricks!

So true! I never look at peoples skin and my bf made a good point that everyone is too busy obsessed with themselves to care about you 😅 harsh but true and helped me a lot! I had pretty moderate to severe acne too, def noticeable, but I got through it for now and you will too!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with burnout cause wow it is so real! I just actually had to take time off work to give myself a break which I knew I needed since like October.... finally my body was like nope you need this! So I took/am in the middle of a week off and I am already feeling more like myself again and journaling has really helped me too!! Sending all the love! Thanks for always being real with us! 🤍

this was so helpful! thank you!! and I’m so glad you shared this 💕💕

I’m glad you’re catching your burnout early. I’ve been sick with a cold and I’m so tired 😅. I don’t have a side hustle, but I’m someone who has a hard time resting and sitting still (could be undiagnosed adhd tbh, but that’s for a doctor to decide). I get anxious not doing something (like cleaning, training my dogs, working out, socializing), so I’m trying hard to be more intentional about resting because I’m exhausting myself. Also, man it was so cold Tuesday, I went on a walk with my dog and froze my hands off (forgot my gloves 😅).

Thank you for being honest about being an influencer and it not being that hard of a job. Life can cause burnout. Or balancing too many things can cause burnout. It’s just nice to hear that from someone doing RU-vid and doing it well. I trust you as a subscriber and that’s really important to me.

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling mentally well. Fingers crossed, you get better 🙏 💜

I needed this video 🥹

“What the fuck is a turkey tail?!” - this got me so good. It’s a type of mushroom. Can be really good for cancer some recent studies have shown and supposedly also helps with digestion and immunity! Lmao I take it everyday! Anyway, thanks for the laugh! 😂

I recommend the book “In the Flo” by Alisa Vitti. It explains how as women, we function differently because we have two internal clocks, one is 24 hours (circadian) and the other is approx 28 days and followed our cycle (infradian) - so we have phases in our monthly cycle where we’re a lot more motivated and other times where we NEED to rest and not work as hard. It’s a great read.

Always spot on Leor!!ps your makeup is gorgeous today!😊

healthy crunch is the best!!! They make the seed butter that I eat (nut free!)

You sounded so fast through a lot of the video and it told more about your mental state than any words. Take great care and remember that you are doing good! You have so many years ahead of you, don’t push yourself too hard at this stage xxx

Take it one day at a time. ❤

Ah thanks for trying on the biker shorts! I’ve been eyeing them but was hesitant about the length, I think I’m going to wait till summer and see if they release any longer biker shorts in fun colors. Also I’ve noticed lately their clothes have been running smaller too 😢

Hey Carter- I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. Between budget chats and lifestyle videos- I’m watching all your videos consistently now. I used your referral code for FlashFood and wanted to say thank you for sharing it! When groceries are so pricey and a girl is budget conscious- it’s a huge help!

my girl. your videos are my fav :)

Hi Carter good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

I also struggle with acne, and one unexpected positive of covid was getting okay with showing my makeup-less face in public regularly. I work with the public, so I could take my mask off around coworkers but not customers. WELL, I was not about to waste base makeup when I knew my mask would rub at least some of it off. So I'd end up wearing no makeup in view of my coworkers, and their complete lack of caring about my acne and eczema really drove home the point you made - nobody cares about my acne as much as I do. That's been so healing for my confidence.

I have the same jam! Going to try the blueberry one I haven’t opened it yet 😄

Please take good care of you!

Turkey tail is just another kind of adaptogenic mushroom, it's just a regular mushroom but it's shaped like a turkeys tail which gives it its name :)

RU-vid Studio is so hard for me. I try to avoid it now because I get so discouraged if something doesn't perform the way that I thought it would.

Love your relaxed chatty raw videos ❤ you have become my fav RU-vidr. Take time for yourself you deserve it 😊

I have had fibromyalgia for many years but still overschedule myself. I know if I have a trip out of town I need a rest day the next day. But sometimes just a trip to the grocery store or the laundromat can knock me out. The pink t-shirt & sweater looked like the same color. The majority of us that responded to your poll the last time I checked said to post whenever you wanted, and we didn't feel you had to have a set schedule.

lmaoooo turkey tail is another mushroom like rishi/lions mane lol love your videos so much this ones so helpful bc I am also expereincing a lot of burnout and dont know how to handle it :/

No name pb is fine☺, I love longos natural pb but I guess it's more expensive than PC's no name lol but ohh for oats I get large flake no name pc bc they are so cheap for a huge bag, and I used to get the Bob's red mill ones for like 10 dollars per little bag 😅

I just saw that your milk is in a glass container! Wanna do this too 😅

I love the turnout boik. I think theres something in the air as I am also coming out of a depressive episode alongside some friends. I have a 4 day wind coming up for self care.

Turkey Tail is a type of mushroom.

We are in the middle of a Blizzard 20+ inches

I think you need a vacation

I think it's ok to say your job is hard. I know comments will say otherwise sometimes. But acknowledging what's hard to you should be ok to do. That way you can face what's going on and how to fix things. If content creation was really that easy....everyone would do it and BE GOOD at it. But, they aren't
