I love that shes popular but still has a huge bunch of privacy. Her being engaged, her actual job, her friends and family and home etc she keeps offline. I respect that so much

I’m invested in Brenda’s journey!! I get the impression that she was once care free and full of wonder. Ready to set the world on fire and build a perfect life outside of work. Somewhere along the way she became convinced that in order to be happy outside of work, she must be successful inside of work. Thus, she lost perspective and now is solely focused on her job. Would love to see a flashback/origin story for her (and all of the characters actually, Donna sue? Yes please!)

She is the queen of work place boundaries . She has helped me drawing that line that employers love to cross.

I appreciate the mention of botox without even blinking an eye. like "Yes, my forehead needed a little extra help. its not like this naturally and I only do it for my own preference" is so important for helping people with massive insecurities not thinking people come out like this with no work. You are a singularly amazing and gorgeous person and I appreciate your existence, the world is definitely a better place with you in it

Here when the title was 'answering your moist asked questions' 😋

The bit about the 5 year plan is probably the single most validating thing I’ve taken away from your q&a. I always felt like I couldn’t attain success because I just can’t bring myself to plan that far out. Thank you for alleviating that issue for me!

The respect for your partner is very refreshing. So many creators just thrust their whole life onto a camera to the detriment of their relationship.

Re: friendship 100% yes! Authenticity and vulnerability is where it’s at. I get enough superficial nonsense from strangers and acquaintances - not looking for that from friends. It’s the best way to keep friendships alive for decades.

No lie, I'm more invested in Brenda's story arc than anything I'm watching on TV right now. I don't care what I'm doing at work, I stop everything whenever a new vid is posted.

The advice you are giving is brilliant for people who are working or looking for work! It's not realistic to set such extreme long term goals knowing your pace and race is much better than a blind guide. Love it

Your videos really helped me to set boundaries between my job and my personal life. ❤ I really love them!

As a teacher, I am strangely fascinated how so much of the corporate world can translate into things we deal with in the classroom. Although I am now confused about questions that are moist.

I love how you call us followers your work besties! This was very interesting! Ty for sharing more of yourself! Best wishes for your adventure west!!

As a 71 yr old retired retail manager, I so love your channel. You brighten my day.

It is nice to hear that you wanted to be a life coach when you was 15 years old. Because I realise when I saw this video that you somehow have been just like that to to me in regards to my work life and the journey to find work-life balance. Thank you! 🙌🏻

The way you talk and put your words provides me comfort for some reason. Thanks for creating these videos and content. ❤❤❤❤

I love your advice on how if we prioritze one thing, another's got to give. I've been experiencing this as a 20-something trying to progress in all aspects of my personal and professional life all at once.

Your explanation for your five/ten year plan is brilliant! Keep it open for growth and opportunities 🙌 Fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I listened all the way to end just for the Toodaloo 😉 it’s so quirky I love it!

I really enjoy your content, it has helped me at 45 to reprioritize what is important as well as keep myself sane realizing that I’m not the only one who experiences these challenges in the work place. Congrats on your starting your new business (having my own mortgage business didn’t feel like work-it was amazing) as well as your move! ❤

Bahahahahahahahahaha "Moist" that word gets on so many peoples nerves, you are so funny! loved it!

I love how she recognizes how high depth and low maintenance are the yardsticks of a good friendship :)

You are so natural on camera, thank you for the great content! Especially, for “how to say it professionally”

I love your content and I love Donna Sue, I wish I have someone in my life like her. You are awesome and thank you for creating!

Initially, I watched your videos solely for enjoyment, but now I value the insight and wisdom they provide. Keep up the good work. P.s my favourite shorts are the "how do you professionally say..." questions!

“Burnout is now failure, it’s an opportunity to re-prioritize yourself”

I really hope your channel continues to grow. Your content deserves to be out there and is so valuable. You helped a lot of people and I hope people can support you in turn.

She’s so cool. And I never picked up on her being Canadian until just this moment.

Amazing that you say "A city I can call home and feel is home", absolutely true. I moved to my "home" city in South Africa, and have been living here for 33 years now, and its still home every morning I wake up. Finding ones home city is so important for success in almost anything else in ones life. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

It's so nice to hear you as as you outside of your characters/content. You have such well constructed answers too and you sound so respectful of boundaries whether thats work colleagues as just colleagues or friends and your partners level of comfortability to be or not be on social media. Hope the move/planning for it is going well. I really want to visit Canada again as it's been once of my favourite places that I've been to but I'm from New Zealand so it's a bit far/pricey.

Love your content!!! I'm so impressed by how articulate you are and wish I could get there one day when I grow up. ; ) I've not perhaps been around as long as many, so I was hoping you'd address the whole "moist" origin... Toodaloo!

Thank you for sharing Laura. Very honest and open. Love watching all your content, which is so relatable and fun. Like many here BTL, I'm waiting for the next developments with Brenda and Ned with bated breath. Congratulations on your Corporation and good luck with the move out West. Toodaloo! 😀

Well done. Letting folks get to know you, not just your character, will create more affinity for you as a creator and for your content. I enjoy the heck out of your work.🎉❤🤠

It's just a pleasure to watch all your videos, you are incredibly well spoken and can phrase everything immaculately. Congrats on the move, the engagement and all the exciting work ahead!

Wishing you the best of luck in your new adventure! I recently left a toxic work environment and have taken a job, for less money...more sanity! Thank you for being here 😊

I got a QA job just over a year ago. Started as a temp and one of the first things that i liked was that i was interviewed by my soon to be manager (she was the manager to most people in the office) and the project lead for the department I'd be working in. I loved the company culture because it wasn't strictly professional in house, you can go to work in a t shirt and shorts if you want to, which most people do - we only get dressed up if we have execs coming in. I was given a permanent job once the temp project was finished because along with my good work, i fit in really well with the very jokey culture we have. I've been trained in 3 of the 5 departments in the office and I'm looking at training out in the field with people who aid the customers who have our products, though i can't drive so i won't transfer to that. So glad i turned down offers from places that raised red flags. The only red flag i had was that i couldn't work from home, but to be fair we need certain equipment that i wouldn't be able to maintain in my home. I also like that my office has flexible start and end times where you can come in between 8 and 10 and leave 8 hours later, however some people start even earlier or later and make up that time. My manager also gives a lot of flexibility, say you need to leave 4 hours early to get to the bank (I've had to do this), they'll let you work an extra hour every other day to cover it

You’re just so wholesome with your whippets and your west-coast love I can’t even. Thank you for making the internet a little better today. I love it.

I retired just over 2 years ago after 43 years in legal support work (litigation paralegal) for law firms and a government agency in NYC. Many of the issues you address in your videos are so true and helpful, I wish I and many others had seen them years ago. The pandemic changed a lot of workplaces, and not for the better in some areas, your videos discuss the specific issues from it as well as the electronic tethers too many workers face today. I wish you could create an advisory/consulting company using your videos and perhaps with live advisors could be part of 'respectable workplaces' training that is usually to reduce issues of racism, sexism, LGTBQ attitudes in workplaces. Many of the same issues as are the ones in your videos can be critical as to worker recruitment, retention of employees, reduce discrimination lawsuits and make for more productive workplaces.

I'm retired and watching the office adventures often gives me flashbacks! I love your content and I love your spirit. I'm only 5'9", which is kind of tall, and when I felt like wearing heels at work, I did! Made me taller than a lot of the guys but I did not care. 😁

The one question i was interested the most wasn't asked there. What inspired you to create these characters? Are there any real-life Brenda or Geoffry?

Good luck with the move! I'm born and raised in Vancouver, so I'm terribly biased, but I think you'll love it out here! Tip: Venture out to the Gulf Islands for a trip once you're settled (if you move to Van) - kind of a local's secret favourite region to visit.

i'm so excited to see this channel growing. so much well-deserved success coming for you, laura!! i have joined corporate life in november last year and i'm still like bambi on ice trying to navigate office etiquette but your videos are so resourceful x

I really like the camera angles and the way that this is being videoed! Excellent work Haley!

Hey I have over the last few days gone on a deep dive looking at your content and I have really enjoyed your content and the thought-provoking nature of your work. Thank you for bringing to light the exploitive natures of the current working culture as well as portraying that information in a way that is funny and easy to enjoy. Please keep up the amazing work I have already subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching more of your content going forward. Have a lovely Sunday and I hope the scarries aren't too bad and thank you for being you! Toodaloo 😊

Love to see this side of you! Im a 31 year old corporate girly, and I just love your content!!!

This was a terrific Q & A! It went so far beyond just “What’s your favourite colour?” What is y....never mind. Well, welcome to the left coast, the wetcoast, the west coast! I was born and raised in Vancouver, have lived elsewhere, but always came back regularly because I’d miss the water, the mountains, and the fact that 20 minutes away from downtown, you could be lost in the wilderness and never be heard from again. I feel about Vancouver like your friend feels about San Diego. I hope you love it too. One last thing, you are an incredibly gifted actor, your ability to inhabit different characters with the most economical toolbox is not to be trifled with, love your videos. Toodaloo!

A lot of your content is really appropriate also for the UK too! Really informative and entertaining 😁!

I NEEDED THIS!!! Can’t wait to see more of your content. You helped get me through the pandemic and I am so appreciative of all of your advice!

The short videos where she plays the workaholic supervisor expecting all her subordinates to work the same hours would be familiar to everyone. Toodaloo

I totally get it about feeling home at some city, but not at another. I definitely feel (and felt) home in NYC, but never got that feeling in Denver.

Your dogs are so sweet! I enjoy your videos. You say what we all wish we would've said in situations. Good luck!

Your videos made me realize just how important my out of work life is and I'm so thankful for it. Just hearing out lout what was in my head, hearing someone else saying it, helped me to voice it myself. Thank you PS - We need an update on Ned! I know he was fired but I'd love to see him getting a bit of his own medicine, he is like my old manager, ugh.

Been watching your shorts for about a year and it has been fabulous. Now I am finding I like you as a person. I am Mutt to your Jeff (old cartoon) I am 5'2" in Texas

laura, love your videos! I live in Italy, dealing a lot with USA customers that expect things to happen always immediately! So some of your anwers on urgent matter were simply brilliant! I owe you a glass of wine, if by chance you will be in Italy in future! Take care and keep up the good work!

I love that you are Cdn!! I'm from Kitchener so we're sort of neighbours. I love you shorts and really wish that I could give some of the responses that you use and I love when you say Toodaloo at the end of them! 😊

Love your content & creativity. You've made me laugh when I couldn't think it possible.💓

i love your tattoos! they're so small and subtle. i feel like, from what i know of your personality through KZfaq (which isn't much, let's be real lol), they really fit you!

I really related to you when you were talking about wanting to live in a place you're excited about! That's exactly how I feel as well. I love your videos and I was so eager to watch this Q&A ❤️❤️❤️

I am getting ready to join a new job and this video comes at a great time, thank you for the advice! ❤ ❤❤Also, I really like your content because it's given me new perspective into the importance of my personal life. You are the first person I know that comfortably says that you use botox while respecting people that don't, most people try to hide and lie about it.

I loved the way the questions were asked, from her content work to personal and back.

I love Donna Sue and her tiny teacup! 😂

I love how you have so many actresses playing different roles in your videos. lol

Love this! Thank you for the laughs the past few years.

Love your videos. You are very creative with all your characters. Nice job :)

So happy to get to know a little bit more about you and grateful for a the little nuggets of amazing advice.

Thank you for giving such thoughtful answers! English is not my first language, and now being in med uni I don't have the same amounts of formal English that I was used to in schools and trying to maintain my level of English via English-speaking media...Well, it had a lot to do with me losing a touch for formal/informal speach And thank you for your truely delightful characters! Can't wait for Brenda's growth and healing and hearing more of Donna's words of wisdom

I've worked some pretty unorthodox Jobs! Airlines 🎥 Movie making and Peer Counseling A thru line with all of them is weird hours and sleep deficit! I'm just now learning about the Mind/Gut connection and how important it is! With Airlines and Movie 🎥 making especially! Whatever you do please align these for your Health and vitality! Great video 📷 I can apply your Tips to many things I think!

Your Brenda videos are spot on for my work, Dang, I looked around to see where your desk is at my job. as you know it perfectly. Thanks

Finding the place to call home that you truly love is so important. I've been wrestling with this issue for a while now and feel the need to make a move. Not sure where yet. I hope your west coast move is all you wanted.

I think you got part of your dream job. Your videos do truly give such incredible life/work advice at times and help people!

Your content is more important than most business classes.

You speak so beautifully! I love your perspective on burnout, it’s such a helpful reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Best of luck with the move!

Your dogs are beautiful. Im glad they were towards the end, or I'd have never watched the entire content. I'd just be replaying the beautiful girls' portion ❤😊

I love your videos, they are a highlight of my day. Loved getting to know you better! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing!! You are an amazing human being and work bestie! You have definitely gotten me through some tough times whether it be relatable content or entertaining workplace reality skits! I always look forward to your posts and content! Best wishes for you and your bright future!

@LoeWhaley very nice videos. Three topics I would love to see: 1- companies asking their employees to purchase travel on their personal credit cards, and ask for a reimbursement later - why are we expected to extend personal credit to our employers? 2- companies insisting that we see them as "our family" and nevertheless laying you off the minute there is a dip in the cash flow. 3- the narrative that employees should not focus so much on salary (instead, focus on fluffy stuff like realization, aspirations, contribution) while the owners and partners are laughing all the way to the bank. 4- In the startup world, stock options that are so restrictive in their vesting and selling parameters, that they become just a FOMO lock on the neck of the employee.

Thank you for taking the time for this Q&A. Love you and your channel. I’m one of the many living the life you portray. So refreshing for smart- encouraging- content. (No potty mouth!!! ❤❤❤)

I love how you talk about respecting boundaries in all areas of life, only recently discovered you and I love your content even though I am not working I still find it relatable and transferable; you glow and I like how you say toodalooo Love you from Aus

Great content! As for one of the questions on character development - I have only ever seen work romances end in disaster. It might be fair to demonstrate one as a warning. Or else address common disaster scenarios and how to avoid them.

Excited for you and your move out west! Vancouver Island is where I call home and I don't think I'll ever leave!

You me content is amazing, you really nailed remote work culture and work culture in general. Thank you for your amazing work

Thats a good idea to leave the GTA, I left Quebec many years ago. Living near Banff was such a great move. You just started randomly appearing In my youtube feed this week. I have no idea who you are but the youtube Shorts of yours are great.

I’m originally from Vancouver, now living in the southern U.S. The west coast is beautiful (I miss it so much!) I hope you really enjoy it and continue to thrive. All the best with the move and west coast life!

A true Wow...thanks for sharing. Travel well.

That was such a lovely video and it was so nice to get to know you better. You’re such a positive and eloquent person and I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say it that everyone now would love to be your friend. Even though I left a corporate job 10 years ago I really like your content - especially skits - always bring me joy. Can’t wait to see more and of course good luck with your move ❤

I'm also the friend who can go WEEKS without communicado and then pick right-back-up. I sooooo appreciate others who are "same."

It's lovely to meet YOU. Thanks!! I want to know how you spied in on my life!! ln 1976 when I was 26 I got my first ever management job. I was a junior manager, running a small 3 person branch in New Zealand, in a multi national computer corporation. The organisation structure had me sitting on the organisation chart alongside senior managers 30 years older than me, and i reported to a corporate VP living in Detroit. Aussies/New Zealanders, and Americans have different ideas about work/life balance. My boss never understood that. When he wanted to talk to me he'd just pick up the phone and call. My wife went B-E-R-S-E-R-K every time the phone rang at 3am. Again and again it happened. My boss wanted to talk about the amount i put in my budget for stationery or something equally earth shatteringly important that simply couldn't wait. Until one morning she dived across my body and reached the phone before I did. She YELLED at him. "NO! HE's asleep it's THREE IN THE MORNING YOU IDIOT!" she yelled. When he suggested perhaps she could wake me up (i was laughing as quietly as i could) she yelled "NO! - HE'LL BE AVAILABLE IN 5 HOURS! Call back then. " and slammed the phone down in his ear. . (He learned his lesson for about a month then forgot it and went back to calling me at 3am again) I hope you'll have an easy move to BC - I'd love to go there some day. I've visited very briefly on the way to Toronto and it looks like the kind of place I'd like to live.

I don't really have any questions for you,I just wanted to say out of all of the shorts I watch yours are definitely one of my favorite 💕 I really enjoy them😊

I love your values regarding friendship.

I've felt like such a failure and weak at moments for leaving my career because of burnout. Thank you for acknowledging that it's not a weakness. 🧡

12:40 THANK YOU! I'm glad you chose to do these series, and I'm glad you also recognize HE didn't chose to join you and you're respecting that. So many of the partner bashing tiktokers seem to ignore that fact just for BS engagement.

You are a really good one. I thought you were over six foot because you said you were really tall. I never saw the north side of 5'8". But at 77, I'm happy to be a precision size. Thanks again Loe! Oh yeah, the San Juan islands totally rock. Brenda became a Scientologist and moved to Florida.

Great to know more about you. You’re awesome and I so love and appreciate your content ❤

Dear Loe (Brenda), As an old[er] 60+ y/o gaffer who spent as a contractor writer for decades, always in Big Corporations, your vids reflect my corporate experiences. I binge on your video. Best intentions for all your creations and your future endeavors. Big hugggz! PS, love your "UNT" mug. Respectfully, Marcus Stuart.

Love this!! So many thoughts that resonate with me and things I often say. Congratulations 🎉🎉 on the move and new journey 🩷

I'm so glad I tripped across your page. I really enjoy your content. Best of luck and Godspeed you on your move!

Loved the video thanks for sharing your tips and tricks as well as your inspiration. ❤

The content on these videos is phenomenally revealing of corporate America - nonprofit and for profit alike.

I work in project management and your shorts are a lot fun 🎉

"Home is a feeling" so true... love your vids... still not convinced its the same person😂 You are like my soap opera fix, great story.

A question I would have asked, if I had known, would have been "How do you find passion in your work life?" I just cannot find myself driven enough by any idea or situation to even want to make something big and successful out of it.
