My grandma told me a long while ago "You don't need to like everyone, but you need to get along with them". I try to live with this, finding ways to get along, even if it means agreeing that we cannot agree and find a midwaypoint for us both to deal with. On other notes, I got tired of swimming alone so now I'm hosting a mermeet. Hopefully I can do it again in the future and get more people in tails.

I simply convinced two other girl teens like me to buy tails! We actually just went on our very first swim as a pod today. Previously we would go in twos but today it was all three of us! And now we're a pod and are having a mermaid sleepover tomorrow before school starts. :)

Mermaid Estari Same!!!

I founded our pod, we dont swim together a lot bit it was fun to discover when we all got together that we were all goldfish girls (all red orange yellow coloured tails)

you just have to learn how to facebook/Instagram stalk and not ask the first mermaid you see with a large following!

Eeek one of my sisters said when I’m a little older she said that she will get me and my sister tickets to places around the world by that time I’ll have my mermaid tail and ima see if I can go find a pod :P anywaysss idk ;-; ( edit: Oof Tysm for the ❤️ btw I love your KZread channel I recently fell in love with watching mermaid tubers ;-; )

I started to cry whenever you said you wanted us to be safe ☺️ mix😢

Slightly off topic but....WOO! MILE HIGHER FAM!

I enjoy your subtle warnings against creeps what a gem I wish I was as nice about that topic language wise lol

Friends still have their arguments yes but it doesn't mean they're not your friend. I have arguments with my best friend sometimes we still talk and get along great.

Such great advice!! I’ve definitely started coming out of my seashell a lot more since moving out of state. I’ve joined a pod near me, but I’m still a little hesitant to go because I don’t have a tail to swim with. Other mers have offered theirs, but I have a hard time using other people’s things. I may go just to scout things out. Thank you for the advice, and I hope that you do start using MerMom in your brand!! Thank you for caring! 💜🧜🏼‍♀️

Thank you for this! ♥ I actually just started a pod / FB group for South Africa, and already met some amazing folk - including one through watching one of your live videos! :D Slowly growing the South African mermaid community here, yay! :D

Maggie Fluffy There was a hurricane hitting my state. Where I live hurricanes hit my state a lot. I love mermaids, maritime history, marine life, when I was a kid I had two strokes. I did aqua therapy at the pool. I think mermaiding can be great therapy for my leg, arm, balance, etc. so that’s why I want to be a merman. Plus I want to do cosplay too.

I live in a small town in Tennessee, and I thought about joining the Nashville Mermaid Pod, but it is still a bit far away for me to travel for each meeting. So I might try and make my own,so I think I will try your advice! Thanks!🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️ (any TN mers out there?)

This works if pools are mermaid friendly. Unfortunately in the U.S. not many pools are mermaid friendly. The Outer Banks in N.C. Is mermaid friendly but, the YMCA is not.

Any nj mermaids and by nj I mean new jersey bergen county like that?

I was listening to this just kinda in the background while trying to search for a pod near me. I heard her say "Mile Higher Podcast" and I was like "oh hey I listen to that". Then she said "the whole my little pony tagline" and I was like "HEY I WATCH THAT" XD

Yayaya

I need a place to swim

What I need to know is why I didn't think of making a group myself before? I live in the 4th largest city in america and there are NO groups, there's a mermaid party business consisting of like 3 merms but I'm in it as a hobby I already have a job on top of being a full time student, I need to make a group for 'just for fun' merms here- there has to be a lot of them this place is huge lol

My mermaid name and social media tag/website/etc is literally The Mermaid of Albany (I live in Albany, New York)....searching that, or anything similar to that, doesn't yield any results... :/ algorithms are stupid

Thanks for this video Courtney! If anyone is looking for a pod in Winnipeg Manitoba send me a message! We host classes and have monthly mermaid swims ❤️

I was very fortunate and found my merpod at the pool that I was swimming at but if anyone is living in Illinois you can go on Facebook and look us up at Illinois merpod

Every self defense thing I took pounded it into us to be aware, file a flight plan (let people know where you are), listen to your instincts, and don't go alone into the unknown. You may be a warrior princess but you need to be smart! Hey, I googled... hey look, a FB group right here...

Courtney Mermaid it’s reaaally strange. It says “Additional Required Information”. Then there’s three “Registration Questions” to fill out, but it doesn’t describe what that is or how to complete it. If you skip the questions and try to submit everything else it says you can’t move on without filling them
