It took me to long to find out what I really wanted to focus on with my blog and YouTube channel. I’ve blogged about everything from frozen lasagna, to Rogaine, to losing my virginity.

I never planned to talk about sex or my trials as a fat girl on the Internet… but it felt so natural and my audience really responded to it. Find your niche, and when that niche stops feeling authentic, move on to something else. There’s nothing wrong with a little change. Through the ups and downs of life, what are you most grateful for and why? I’m grateful that I get to make my living by helping other young women feel good about themselves and lead fulfilling lives. I get to stay home with my two kids and spend my time raising them instead of wasting away at a job I hate. I lead a very fortunate life and if you’d told me two years ago, when I became a single mother, that I would be leading such an amazing life – I wouldn’t have believed it. I’m most grateful for the love and support of my fans, because without them I would be leading a totally different life.
