Guys I am genuinely OVERWHELMED (in a good way for once hahah) with all the comments and love. I took 20 minutes out to have a cup of tea and 3 bags of crisps (#eatclean) and came back to so many comments that I can't even keep up with replying! But I'm gonna do my best to respond to every single one 💖 thank you all so so much. It definitely feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I know I wasn't ready before, but this is all something I should have done so much sooner because the responses and support has honestly shocked me. Like I knew you guys were KOOOOOL but wow ur all rly rly cool. I dunno what else to say but I really do feel like this is the start of a new chapter with a lot of things and I can't thank you enough for sticking around and just making me feel so loved tonight. Love you all xxx

I've never commented before on your videos, I'm 62 year old woman who likes make up but rarely wears it. So why do I watch your content? Simply because of your authenticity as a person. I'm so pleased to hear you say that you are realising that you are enough. Chant it like a mantra to yourself everyday, because YOU ARE ENOUGH! You have experienced so much loss and grief in such a short time, and yet here you are, unafraid to be vulnerable and that, darling woman, takes true, deep strength.

Steph I'm a silent watcher but I've had to comment today. I'm a 54 year old woman who was full of self hate from a young age just like you. Bullied for looking nerdy (glasses and big teeth) in 2020 during lockdown I started my KZread channel. It's a tiny channel compared to yours only 4.5k subscribers so far but I keep going because like you I've realised people actually like me for me and its a nice feeling isn't it. You steph are beautiful funny talented and the world is definitely your oyster. We are all here for you and always will be. I know this video was tough for you sweetheart but trust me when I say things can only get better. You are quite a bit younger than me but your videos helped inspire me to start KZread so thank you for that and thank you for just being you. Sending you lots of love positive vibes and blessings for what's to come. ❤❤❤❤

To add to the list of clichés, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right? I'm sorry to hear that life has shit on you from a great height for many years.

Ohh don't - I can't tell you how many times I have heard that - :( lol

Maaaaate, I feel like you are the wee English ADHD counterpart to my huge, autistic Scottish ass except you HAVE the balls to do this. My chest hurts from watching this because I’ve been through everything you’ve been through too, you are a fkn champ for putting in the work and coming back vulnerable but stronger and more determined than before. You are an inspiration and I’m sure I speak for many of your followers when I say I’ll be watching and supporting the Toms no matter what. Unless you become a light coverage/skin tint girly, that’s where I draw the line ❤️

Came for the makeup, stayed for Steph…. Self acceptance is so difficult and i commend you for laying it bare. I adore you! Have for years. You (and itssabbrina) are the only makeup girlie i follow.. for the makeup initially… now I rarely even wear makeup.. but im still watching you!! Proud of you and so is your mum xxx

The reason I started watching you is because you’re hilarious, you’re smart, snarky, and self-aware. Those traits are *you*, Steph. Before the 4K camera, before the brand deals, before the ultra boujee PR-there is, was, and always will be you. I remember watching you put on bright blue eye shadow with Primark palettes, and that Steph is the Steph I’m still rocking with years later. 💜

I can see at the end of the video how PHYSICALLY relieved you look for getting everything off of your chest. You’re such an inspiration.

My opinion isn't worth much, but I found your videos like 8 years ago when I was overwhelmed and lonely at uni. Idk who I really am a lot of time, I get you there, but I know you're my comfort videos. What other YTer would apply makeup with nuggets??? Looking forward to where you take your videos. You're a legend, thank you for adding light to some dark times x

Can confirm I just like you. And I’ve liked you for years. And I’ll continue to like you for years. And if you pop off for a bit then come back - I’ll watch and I’ll still like you. And I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that there’s no pressure from us to show up 100% of the time or to be 100% consistent.

I don’t care what you post, I just enjoy your content because of your personality. I’ve been watching you since 2014 and every time I see a new upload I click straight away. Love all the way from an Aussie ADHDer.

I wish you could see yourself through your viewer's eyes. You are the reason I watch KZread. Your videos make me happy,and have helped me through the last six years since I had my stroke. You are such a beautiful person inside and out.

People dont buy into brands, they buy into you...the person who keeps it real, who still shows up even when life is shite.i saw you once in debenhams in truro when i worked there years ago ,you were down to earth and youve not changed.your authenticity about who you are can be a lot for some people (i know this about myself😂) but you keep being just that!the ones who love you will continue to do so❤

I’ve been watching you for years when you only had a few hundred subs, and I’m still excited when I see you posting. I am so proud to see the woman you became and seeing the woman you are becoming. You’re real and I really appreciate that. Thank you for being you!

​@gingerbreadloverjulie8609 I think I know what you're talking about. I watched a few videos from palliative care nurses talking about how a lot of their clients see their family members, that have already died, before they pass. Like they will tell the nurse "my sister is here, she said she's coming back on Wednesday" then they die on the Wednesday. I don't believe in heaven and souls. But this really has been making feel comforted. I've watched people I love die. One of them, they woke up for a while and when I think back, they where saying things that I now think someone was there to take her. Now I look forward to seeing if my dad is going to come. I've always been atheist byw. So this is weird for me.

Legitimately, the way you speak about life topics and balance your thoughts and feelings is the most relatable thing I’ve heard from someone, in a way I’ve never really heard from someone else before. Like being scared of nothing but everything at the same time? It’s hard to explain but internet friends can be like, such a significant part of making you feel less weird and okay about yourself. So this was a great video! Hope the cockroaching keeps on the roll 🐾

As someone who is recently diagnosed with ADHD and recently lost a close relative, you are like a superhero in my eyes for making it here!! You are such a strong, wonderful human bean. Not only from the shite youve waded through but for opening up about said shite wading. Not a single thing in this world lasts forever, not the stars in the sky or the flowers on the ground. The bad times will pass, sad memories will eventually bring a smile to your face and dreams will come true that you havent even thought of yet. Reach for the sky sweet angel, it may be a bumpy journey but its your journey! I bet your mum would be so proud; being vulnerable and making yourself open to the INTERNET, come on, whats more bad ass than that. And p.s. id watch you all day, any day, doing absolutely fuck all 🤍✨

Thank you so much for being honest and open ❤ I'm so sorry for everything you've been through.

So refreshing to hear someone be so honest about these things. Really brave of you to open up about all of this. Id personally watch/listen to whatever you do ❤ x

I can resonate with the feeling ugly part, I was bullied horrendously at school and it’s literally shaped my entire life. I thought I was over it, but then something happens and I’m back to beating myself up and calling myself awful names, coz that’s all I’m used to. But deep down I know it’s not true, I’ve built myself into the person I am today and we I’m alright with it. But I completely get you, I understand you totally when you said you feel ugly. You’re not. You’re a beautiful person inside and out and that’s why people like me watch you. Not just for your makeup videos. It’s because you relate to so many people and have a fabulous personality. Other “influencers” are just boring and are genuinely making videos for money. But you’re doing it to entertain people and it shows. You’ve been through horrible stuff but it’s good that you’re talking about it. It helps take the weight off and coming to thousands of people must be terrifying but you’ve done it. So well done. The only way is up now. Keep working, keep laughing, keep on being you. The world is your oyster! 🥰🩷

Silent watcher! Cornish gal, 39 and love your videos! I lost my mum 3 years ago and felt every word you said. It’s wonderful to hear you being so honest and looking after yourself x

I love how relatable you are and how real you are. I am so unbelievably sorry for everything you have been through. Just remember it’s ok to laugh when something is funny and cry when you’re sad. Your Poundland video is my go to when I need to laugh, that foundation shade and your facial expressions genuinely never fail to make me absolutely howl 😂. Love you lots mate x

I started watching you because I've felt like I could relate to your natural rambling, thoughts, ideas and even your comment a few years ago about wearing interesting T-shirts just to create a conversation starter in a public setting. It was a lovely idea and it helped me relax and you've given new perspectives on things about life in general bc you're so kind and you almost think the way I do and it makes watching your videos so relatable and comforting. Thank you.

“In your bins” 😆😆😆 that properly made me laugh. What a genuinely touching and tough video to make, I think you’re very brave. Sending love and positivity to you and all your new chapters.

I'm in my 40s and you make me laugh every time I watch you. Seeing you just be yourself is very refreshing. That includes you trying to do your job while everything's burning. I think most of us can relate to that. There's no need to know where you're at. Endless possibilities never stop feeling scary but this whole process will be worth it 😘

Oh, sweet baby girl! I felt the same way until I turned 50. I went through similar things. I'm 57 and so comfortable in my own skin. As far as people liking me, now I don't give a flying fig! You are enough! I enjoy watching you, and you will find your footing!

Im so sorry about what you have gone through. After watching I just have to say that I have never related to a video by an influencer more. Im a long time fan, i found you with the makeup but stayed for you! I really like you! I just want you to know that. You have been a fave and inspiration for me for so long, theres not many influencers I can watch and see myself in and relate to the way I do with you. I love your style and personality. After this vid I cant believe how much we have in common.. I have similar experiences with alot of it youre talking about, and just remember its so valid. And Im so sorry for you, just know youre not alone and nobody can take away those feelings. They are valid because all of it are real big and are traumatic things for anyone. Also just have to add ( the body dysmorphia is so real). I was bullied as a child and the way you talk about those feelings are the realest thing. The reason i got into makeup and fashion was mostly because I never felt pretty enough or cool/good enough because of it. I really get it. I guess we both have this year as a fresh start in many ways. I wish all the best for you going forward from now! I will be here and I will be watching and remember we love u ❤

I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all this and fair play for sharing with us! I don’t often comment on KZread however I really appreciate videos like this as it helps us all realise that shit happens to all of us! Also been through a lot of loss in life as many have and it can feel so isolating. You’re doing an amazing job, I find you really relatable and enjoyable to watch so what ever you choose to do I’m certain we will all be here cheering you on ❤

A lot of what you talked about, I am still going through. Thank you for your honesty, and I know that when you make your brand you’ll do a banging highlight 😊

I resonate with this all so hard! I think it goes without saying I’m sorry and I love you, like we all do, but it it’s true. I have always resonated with you on so many levels and thought you would just be the bestest friend I could ask for because of how we see life and being a geeky person who happens to also like make up and make themselves feel good. It’s really difficult feeling like you don’t fit into a category and I have always appreciated that you are on here because I see myself and that’s powerful. I’m in a lot of the situations you are currently and seeing you own it I just have to say, you’re so strong. It’s not easy, especially when you your pain to others, but it’s important. Your feelings are justified and you are worthy of them just as much as you are worthy of feeling unconditional love. I know, (oh gosh do I know), that the deep shadow work is hard but it is opening you up to your higher self. So I’m manifesting for both of us, that we continue these journeys and blossom into who we are truly meant to be. You got this! I may never meet you, but I am always here for you if you ever need a strangers unbiased opinion. Oh oh! Twitch!!! Yes!! Loved chatting and playing with you on there 😁

Thank you for sharing and just know whatever you post up on KZread I will be watching and I appreciate it and I love your videos and I lost my mom in 2021. She gave up the fight from diabetes. Watching my favorite KZreadr and your videos have helped me get through the rough times, and just hang in there.❤❤ be safe, everyone😊😊

Steph this is amazing! Your so open and honest. Standing by you all the way

I’ve been with you from the start and I have always loved how authentic and real you are, how relatable and YOU that you are. Literally think you’re bloody wonderful. ❤

Thank you so much for being so open and refreshing Steph, i have very recently lost my Mum too and feeling totally lost, so seeing your bravery and strength after going through those traumatic things is really admirable ❤ xx

Happy to see you back! :) i'm so sorry you had such a horrible long stretch of life really lifing. In listening to your whole story i would have 1000% felt the exact same way. I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better and doing better! Can wait for more videos!

Good on you girl! ❤ You’re magnificent 😊 what a warrior to be able to pick yourself back up after going through all that. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings for you xxx

You are enough girl!!! I love watching you. When I have a bad day, I can’t wait to watch your videos. You can lift a persons spirits!!

Been here from the start you’re genuine and human and that’s why I send you a ton of love 🫶🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you for being you! I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I can relate to you. From feeling like the ugly duckling and not fitting in growing up to losing a parent way too soon, I related to the feelings and thoughts you talked about. It’s nice to know we aren’t alone and your bravery in putting yourself out there will help others not feel alone. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers and am excited to see all you will do!

So many emotions and i could literally write a whole essay right now. But insted ill just say thank you for bravely sharing, you should be SO proud of yourself (!!!), and I truly think you're an amazing human. I love who you are, you got this ❤

YESSSS STEPH! 🥳 Just sat here cheering you on and rooting for you SO HARD. I’ve watched you for years and this actually made me so happy for you. You’re so strong for coming out the other side so positively and I know you’re about to have the biggest life glow up ❤ So excited to see what’s next for you 🎉

You are amazing, you've got this. I can totally relate to so much of what you just shared. And honestly, you have inspired me. Sending love your way

Ive just recently started watching your videos as a way to cope with my own struggles and self doubt in my life (some alot similar to yours) and u being honest with it as a creator ive felt a strong connection to so quickly not just thru the love and therapy of makeup but also just personality wise, this video truly means a lot as someone whos always healing or trying to from a bunch of trauma and stuff life just hits u with, the utter clutter of everything and just trying to explain it in one take, is difficult in itself. I respect u so much for sitting down and doing it, tho its totally parasocial, doing my makeup while having ur videos rolling have literally been some of the best self healing/care ive done for myself, steph u are so unbelievably cool no matter what and u deserve to know ur content (no matter how much or little) have had a really positive impact on my life especially when ive felt utterly alone, u have felt like an internet big sister i could do my makeup with!! Love u and support u all the way ❤️ guts for laying everything out for strangers like me but it truly means the world, even if its just a small part of it.

Glad to see you back! ❤

Honestly this is one of the most relatable videos I’ve watched. I’ve not experienced the losses that you have but I am fairly certain I have ADHD and everything leading up until this point, all my struggles etc make so much sense. But I feel like the older I get the more I struggle and the more I feel lost in who I am, what value I bring to this world etc. I go through phases of really low confidence and feeling really down and isolating myself and lately it just feels more confusing, because my brain seems fickle and I don’t know what thoughts to trust. Thanks so much for opening up on this, it is more helpful and relatable than you know ❤️

I have so much respect and admiration for you - to come on to social media and basically pour your heart out and tell everyone about the unfortunate happenings of the last few years is outstanding. Well done you! Be proud of yourself and continue to grow in to the amazing person you are

Great to see you (and the boys) back 😊🐈 you can do anything you put your mind too. Yours and Michael's face has made my night ❤

I'm so sorry you've been fighting through all that for so long. Happy to hear you're taking care of yourself. I feel like you've explained so many things that we all feel like about ourselves and about life in general, so never feel alone in that. ❤ We love you and your channel, no matter what you're talking about! Thank you for sharing and I pray that you make it through each day knowing that you are loved and appreciated.

Good for you Steph! I have watched you for a few years and I think you're great. I can relate to a few things you've said. All the best xx

Thankyou and you are more then liked, you are loved by so many and don't ever think that you are not enough, you are enough, stay strong and keep being you, you have a fantastic personality from what I see and I wished I had a friend like you xxxx

I love you so much! You're amazing and so inspirational. You should be so, so proud of yourself for having the strength and courage to do this video ❤ xxxx

Love that you are shering all of this and being vulnerable with us ❤

This video was so relatable..thank you for being so vulnerable and authentic 💜

I've been following for years now, I've left some comments here and there and you've replied to some of them. I love this realness, I don't want to see perfect lives with people doing just great because I'm so not perfect and I've been through some shit and appreciated you coming through with this realness. I hope you do get to a happy place mentally again ♡

The most honest and relatable video I have see in years. Thank so much for sharing and being so honest. Wish you all the best, here from Denmark🤗

It was like listening to myself for most parts! You are incredible, this isn't your whole story just a chapter and how amazing is it that you can write so many more amazing chapters in your life ❤

Thanks for being so brave and vulnerable. Sending you all my love ❤

Ooft. Right in the feels. My heart breaks for you but I’m glad you’re back and excited for your next chapter. If it helps at all your amazing videos got me through lock down in Melbourne! I love the makeup videos, but I also love your vlogs if that helps you decide on what to start to branch out on. Miss the jeep jeep! (Also let me live vicariously through your TK Maxx shopping!!!!)

It takes so much courage to put yourself out there, whether it is us on the Internet or in real life. You are an amazing person, and you see stronger than you think. Also, I have just become a new mum to a 9 week old ginger boy, and I love him and he is fitting in with my other 5 furbabies. Xx

Lots of love to you to your new journey! 😊 Great job with the editing! 👏💪

I'm here and have always been her because of you! I really like you as a person. I'm so sorry for all of the compounded losses you've been through. It's definitely way to much for a single person in a short period of time. It sounds like your finally getting to know your true self. It takes a lot of time for people to reach that point, if they ever do. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself a lot of grace. Many positive vibes are being sent your way sweetie!!!!! 🥰

I started watching your videos in 2019 when I was going through a bad period in my life. You really resonated with me and we have had very similar experiences. I wish you all the best going forward and your future will absolutely amazing! Never stop being you ❤
