      I believe Shannon and Cammie have run into each other a few times while with their significant others (Becky and Taryn) in LA. I think she privately congratulated Cam on her engagement. They seem to be on great terms. Just living their own lives but genuinely happy for one another. How far they've come 🥲

      Dude I feel this comment so hard. Watched Shannon when I was a young teen alone in my room with headphones for the exact same reason living vicariously through her, the highs and the lows. I never thought I would actually ever have those experiences myself. Now I'm watching this after my own devastating heartbreak (life lesson) and later in the present with my wife...
      Happy to grow in this community with you guys. All the best to those in the closet who believe they'll never have these experiences (you will, it genuinely gets better), those going through the lows (breakups, heartache, not wanting to be single (you'll learn through all these experiences, patience, your girl is coming, and you're on the path preparing yourself to be the right one for her too)), and those going through the highs (we never thought we'd make it, but damn does it feel good to be here)...

Another one is literally called the gay song which u would have to watch the re-upload someone die cause it seems she took that one down for some reason. She was also in a relationship with with Natasha Ponomaroff (who was in Hacker Girlfriend if u remember that Video from Stevie). But yea we’re talking like over 10 years ago.

    I never comment on CZcams videos. But, this sparked so much nostalgia and peace within me that I am compelled to let you know how much your channel has meant to me. I watched, listened, and laughed to this episode while getting ready for work this morning. I’m edging 25, and I just came out as gay to my entire family. I went from binge watching videos as a young teenager in secret to listening out loud in the little apartment I share with the woman I’m so madly and *proudly* in love with. So much has changed since I started watching your life unfold into the beautiful life that it is. I grew up watching you, and I felt such jealousy about your relationships, being so freely and openly queer. At that time, I never thought I’d come out to myself, let alone everyone I loved. I was so afraid to be who I am. Your content about queerness in a conservative state gave me so much strength and hope for a future where I could be unapologetically myself. As a closeted 15-year-old girl, your content made me feel visible. Shannon, as a huge fan of you and your content, thank you for your vulnerability. Thank you for sharing your life with so many strangers. I can’t imagine how scary that is - but you’re making a difference in not only my life, but by the looks of these comments, *so* many others. I’m so excited to watch this podcast as an OUT gay woman. 🏳️‍🌈

I’ve been single for the last year which is unheard of for a serial monogamist like me but now that I’m feeling ready to date again I swear it’s been so much harder than it ever has in the past. I’m so much pickier because I’m older, I’m so firm in who I am and what I need, and add in being gay that statistically gives less options. Life is just hard, that’s all 😭

      Hard disagree. Just because you like someone and spending time with them, doesn't mean you're in the same place in life or that you want the same things. I've gotten back together with one ex after being with them for a year for the first time and the next time we were together for 5. Sometimes you need to work on yourself and your goals before dedicating your life to another person.

    Aw Shannon, I'm so glad you're back. This podcast made me reflect on the fact that I've been watching your channel for almost 10 years now. Back then, I was in my last couple years of high school - a young gay fighting so hard to get out of the heterosexual, small-town mindset. You were such an outlet for me - I felt seen and excited for the world ahead. Fast forward to now, and I'm heading into my late 20's and am in a completely different era of my life, surrounded by a heartwarming queer community. Wild to think that we've all been growing with you, quietly in the background. Thank you for creating this safe space for us. It's been really cool to see you transform through the years and watch your passions shift and develop (like damn, she makes cyanotypes, too?!) And please - enjoy your time being single! Actively choosing to invest in yourself can lead to incredible things.
    And as a side note: If you're on friendly terms, I think bringing Cammie back would be cool (I know you have before, but it's been awhile). She knew you at the very beginning of your journey. Hearing some reflections about how you approach relationships now vs. then could be cool. Thanks again :)

    Relationships are as good as the effort the people are able to put it, so keep going and good luck. Full support from here x

    Finally! :) I've been watching you for 10 years ,since your 'it gets better' video with your mum. You helped me so much with my sexuality. It's amazing to see how you grow as a person and I'm super excited to have you back on youtube :) And definitely I'd love to see Cari and Cammie on the podcast as long as it is not uncomfortable for you ♥Also, if you could get Giolì & Assia to your podcast that would be 🔥

    I used to hide away in my bedroom years ago watching your CZcams videos. It was the only thing that gave me a sense of calming and normalcy and not feeling so lonely and scared as I was deep in the closet. It’s come full circle. Now I’m watching again, with the person who was my best friend at the time(she didn’t know I was gay) and is now soon to be my fiancé. Now THIS is living, let me tell ya. Thank you Shannon ❤️❤️

    I've just listened your podcast on Spotify and girl, thank you. I'm 33 years old and single, been for a while now and yeah, it's a bit scary knowing I'm the only single person in my friends' group and family but at the same time I'm quite happy about my life and I think that's very important too. If there's someone out there for me, I will meet them at the right time.

  • @HolisticCoachAlissa

    Man the nostalgia...I wasn't out when I started watching your videos and here I am now engaged and publicly authentically myself.... Keep doing what your doing ❤ I remember going through heartbreaks without being able to tell anyone....but at least having content like yours kept me in a safe place I needed when I felt I had no one...much respect to you then and now for doing what your doing for others.

    Welcome "back", Shannon! You've been such an impactful part of so many people's coming out and sexuality journeys, and I'm sure I speak for lots of the community you've built when I say I'm so happy to see you creating this new space for your voice and perspective to be heard. Being online and putting yourself out there again is not the easiest thing, so big congratulations on launching the podcast. I'm so looking forward to listening, and I think you'll be able to foster a really supportive space here.
    If you are both comfortable with it, I think having Cammie on the podcast would be interesting, not just because she was your first extremely public relationship, but also because that relationship existed during a time online when there was very little representation, and thus your relationship got put on a pedestal that I imagine was very challenging, given you were both young and still figuring things out. I'd love to hear the growth you've both had since then, the impact that had on you and the choice to keep next relationships out of the splotlight more, as well as reflecting on that unique situation of how you navigate your first very public relationship.

    @CassidyQuinn Před 6 měsíci

    Love this!!! I can SO relate to taking a step back from the internet these past couple of years. After so many years of sharing so much online, spending so much of my time making content, it started to feel really good to keep some things private to myself, and to focus on my own joy, and not trying to create content about it. Now I'm trying to find the motivation to start up my mental health podcast again - making the content that feels GOOD. 💜

    As a fellow 31 year old lesbian who has also been in three significant relationships in my 20s/early 30s and hasn't been TRULY single (not counting brief "breaks" with partners with the intention of getting back together) in 15 years and is also going through a very recent breakup, the worst one yet, this video/intro to this podcast couldn't have come at a better time. So THANK YOU! I already know this will be my go-to comfort pod as I navigate this incredibly painful breakup.

I’ve loved you ever since 🥰🩷 you feel like family at this point. After meeting you a few times in person over the years, I can confidently say that you’re one of the most wonderful humans ever. I’m forever in your corner and rooting for you! 💕

    “Romanticizes relationships that weren’t really meant for you”
    THANK YOU. I really loved hearing this take on whether or not you believe in right person wrong time. I think it’s 100% correct.
    This is not to say that you can’t later reconnect with someone and it work out. I realize that is some people’s story. In that case it’s the exception and not the rule. I also think in these cases you are different people who have grown a lot by the time you’ve reconnected and have found a new appreciation for each other BUT this is hard to do. Often even if you have grown and fixed parts of yourself, we fall back into where we left off with our relationships however hard we try not to. The same insecurities we used to have resurface etc.

    I loved this episode so much, I grew up watching you and Cammie, it’s so weird how in a way for me you guys were celebrities, these big impossible thing I could never have and never be, I still go a rewatch those videos from time to time when I’m feeling nostalgic about adolescence. I know you were just joking but the beginning of this video almost made me tear up because so much has happened since then, thank you for sharing your life with us, I really cannot thank you enough, you (and Cammie) have helped thousands of girls realize that there wasn’t anything wrong with them. Wishing you the best for this podcast and I can’t wait to listen to this every week:)

    Really happy to have you back. I started watching/listening to you when I was trying to figure myself out: am I gay, am I bisexual, or am I straight? (Definitely not straight..... ) I was embarrassed and ashamed of who I was but you helped me gain confidence and honestly, I wouldn't be where I am today without you.

    don't worry shannon, some of us are in our 20's and have never been in a relationship and that is okay too. also don't be afraid of being single, i really love being single and am not so relationship-oriented myself and that mindset really helps to enjoy just being yourself and doing things on your own and doing things with friends and loved ones. you'll be okay, there is no rush
