Sharrah. You are such a beautiful soul. I totally get what you are saying. I always think this way. When the chips are down will you say I wish I spent more time on KZfaq and my work or I wish I spent more time with my children and husband. I think you are making a wise decision. Your children will grow so fast snd you will wonder where the time went. I wish you and your family many blessings.

I completely agree! My kids are now in college and I see how fast their childhoods went! Everything else can wait. It is not a badge of honor to say “I can do it all” - it’s a fallacy. We can do it all, but not all of it will be done well. I am also encouraged by your honesty here because now I am at a place to consider other possibilities in my life. I love my current job, but have always worked part time (to make space for my family) and now am wondering what’s next. It’s hard to let go not knowing If the thing I grab next will be as fulfilling. Thank you! Enjoy your Beautiful children!

It is such an American “thing” to never take time or a break or a proper vacation. Honestly, it is unrealistic and crazy thinking. I am so proud of you for standing up for your family and your kids and saying “no” this isn’t okay, and it needs to change. You are such a strong person and thank you for letting us know. Sending lots of love ❤

As a young mom, I totally understand how your time/attention/love for your kids pulls you away from other passions, and it can be so frustrating at first. But you're doing the right thing by pulling back (even if it means getting penalized at work), focusing on your kids and your own mental health, and recognizing that this is just a season. You won't regret it. Great job, Sharrah! ❤️

It’s a short season where your kids really need you, and you’ll be so glad that you made them, & spending time with them, the priority. I don’t think anything else in life can compare to the satisfaction that comes from being the mom you want to be. Much love & happiness to you & your family ❤

Girl, this is your channel❣️ Do with it what is authentic! Be the best mom, spouse, daughter, friend, neighbor, and person you are. I found you for budget friendly remodels. Found your mom here and watched you move across state lines and grow into a mom. Be present for yourself and your family. You will not regret those choices.

Don't feel guilty of what/how you're feeling. It's normal and its not forever. Don't look for balance. Look for harmony. Don't be the perfectionish. Be the "in the moment". My liberation from me to you. ✌️

In another season of your life you can reconnect. 🌷 EDIT: I came back to say: yay for you! Sharrah do what brings you joy. Life is too short to be on the KZfaq algorithm treadmill. I see the stress in so many Content creators and it’s not fun to watch someone “put on the happy face.” Do what you love. You’re a wonderful person. People understand you want to enjoy your kids and family life. So just share what inspires you and I think you will feel uplifted and less stressed.

You do you Boo. I’ll share my story with you and you can take from it what you will. I quit my job in 2009 to take care of my 4 and 5 year olds. I felt just like you, I was missing them growing up and I hated it. I stayed home and raised my kids. Today I cannot get a job in my field although I’ve been on MANY interviews. I feel like they see my gray hair and not my experience. I’ve since self taught myself to build and design a website (not in my field of finance and business). I’ve started my own KZfaq channel as well about with zero subscribers currently 😅. But I feel what I did for my family was the most important thing I have ever done. It was so much fun and I look back on those days with pure joy and happiness. Although in today’s society I am probably considered a failure since I am unable to contribute to the household finances, I feel like I did the best thing that I could by giving my kids their mother. These are the most precious moments. Celebrate every moment with them.

My kids have done much the same. I am excited to see what you’ll be generating on your channel, if you so decide to do more family content. I’d love to see how to dye eggs with natural products instead of food colouring. Not sure if it’s even possible. Would you consider showing how to do designer beds with pillows and throws and such. It may be fun to hear where there are great places to buy kids clothes, maybe even second hand, or show a kids clothing swap party. Also, family hikes in your area. Your area looks so amazing! So many new possibilities and keeping it about what matters most to you, at this stage of life. Be blessed as you’ve blessed so many!

If it makes you feel a little better the algorithms sent your channel my way. I just paused it to say that what you’re feeling/experiencing is for real and that I’ve seen other content creators step away to reevaluate what matters most. Having 2 kids in a span of 2 years totally takes a toll on you (ask me how I know, lol). Take a break if you’re able to and post the content that you’re passionate about. It’s okay to change directions. May the Lord direct your steps and fill you with peace as you embrace the new changes ahead.💛 PS - I’m subscribing to your channel now.

You're honestly one of the best interior designer, content creator, adviser, home maker and Christian I've ever known. I may not have been watching much but I've been following you here and on Insta and just seeing posts every now and then makes me see how beautiful you are as a person. It's also very admirable that you make a video like this. We all need this- this honest and confidence to say that life can be hard and burdening at times but at the same time, we can always set our priorities and schedules in a way that can make us live life happier and even better. Happiness is always found in God and then in our loved ones. It is not measured on how successful we are in terms of our career or other material things. For sure that is part of it but nothing feels more fulfilling than spending quality time with God and our families. I praise God for people like you and your family. You've been such an inspiration and role model for sure not just to me but a lot of us in the world.

Hello Sharrah, Oh how I hear your heart come through in this message. You won’t go wrong in listening to the Holy Spirit that indwells in you. I am glad that you are heeding to His talk to your heart. I have been through the same process of slowing down on something that I truly loved doing but yet a different season in life had risen. There are only two things that last for eternity and that is people and the word of God. You have so much to offer and give to your own children and you’re being wise to slow down on the external aspects of your kinwoven/KZfaq business for now. I am glad to see that you are recalibrating trying to put God first, family and then the rest of us. Thank you for the many ways that you have brought joy to online viewing of KZfaq. You will never be able to get back these younger years and so I am proud of the new decision you have made to pull back your content creating. May God continue to strengthen you, give you endurance, steadfastness of heart, and perseverance to lead a life for God‘s glory. You are one special lady. Happy Resurrection day!🥰

Follow your heart Sharrah. You are very talented and can always come back to designing. With creativity in your family genes you'll always have a future career. Kids do grow fast. When my were little i enjoyed everything about motherhood. Many women wanted to shame me about not having an outside job. I didnt care. I had fun with them and found time designing in my own home. Now that they are grown and gone, Im back into designing and making designer pillows in Cape Coral, Fla. Enjoy those beautiful babies!! You are a very good person!!

I am a content creator as well on KZfaq, IG, tiktok & FB and it us exhausting. I am so in the same exact boat as you sis. The algorithm sucks and is not favorable of certain content and I too am struggling. I agree wuth everything that you have said and really inspired me to do the video thst I have been dreading lol. I am here for it all. I love you guys and your beautiful boys and I am here to support you no matter what content you create. I am a lifer lol. I am not going anywhere. Put your family first because this game will such the life out of your soul and for me personally my soul belongs to Jesus not KZfaq. I respect your decision on so many levels and cannot wait for the new stuff coming out. Love ta sis ❤❤❤❤. Happy Spring. Tfs your heart ❤

From one content creator to another, Sharrah, this has been the most relatable video I've seen on KZfaq thus far. I've gone through the same thing in the past few years and admire your strength to share. I used to make "How to" tutorials but after 3-4 years, I didn't want to do it anymore. So then I created business tips and now I'm making marketing tips. I say all of this because I understand exactly how you feel. One thing I've learned in the past few years, people grow, change and evolve! I love your honesty...I love your work...and I love your truth. I've been watching you since I started my KZfaq channel and you've always been such an inspiration to me and how I show up on camera. This is my first comment [I should've commented before lol...whooppss]. I'm with you to the end because I love the growth of your videos and you as a creator on YT. These are the things most creators don't discuss and I always admire people who take the time to share. It's something I have to do with my channel eventually. Thank you for having the courage to share. It gives hope to smaller content creators, like me, to feel seen when the rest of the world doesn't notice a thing. I love you so much and I can't wait to see your new content xoxo💙

This is the craziest thing. Several years ago I started following your channel for the interior design content. I was constantly redecorating my house and planning for seasonal decor. In December 2021 I had my first son and about 4 months ago I actually unsubscribed from your channel because that content no longer served me in my current season of life. I found myself looking for motherhood journeys, tips and tricks for toddlers, etc. This video popped up on my recommended page today and I immediately resubscribed to your channel! I totally understand that your perspective has changed and I am grateful to see a content creator who is being true to their heart and family values. Best of luck and I am super excited for the new direction!

Sharrah, THANK YOU X 1 billion for being brave enough to make the right choice for the season you’re in. So many people have echoed this sentiment but it’s true: you are the only Mom your kids have! This season when they’re little is just that: a season. Meaning there is a beginning, a middle and an end. And you don’t know it’s the end until it’s too late. As a woman who was a stay at home Mom for 14 years, this is the most beautiful time! Enjoy it! ❤

God will handle the rest. ❤ I'm excited to see the changes that you make!

Oh honey - what courage and God bless you! I am 67/mother and grandmother and I tell my children all the time “learn from me; let some things go.” I can remember being in the same situation as a professional at your age - it caused so much stress and unhappiness, depression. Oh, the guilt! Took me years to throw that away 😉 You are brave and beautiful - go honey go! 😘

Oh kiddo❤ I turned on my IPad this morning and literally stumbled upon your video. My first time here. I do think it’s Gods way of nudging us to connect with people. It happens to me often. I am oh so moved by what you shared. I am the mother of 3 amazing children, one boy and two girls. They are grown now, in their 30’s. I want to share with you now, if you don’t mind. OH HOW I WISH I could go back to the days when they were little like your children are. My husband at the time and I decided that I would stay home with them and give up the “toys”some adults had to have. We lived on his income. We were just fine. ALL my memory of things I did with them, playing outside, or going to a park, picnics on our porch when it was raining. We’d go fishing once a week when they were old enough. I can still see them as littles ones, and now I have tears in my eyes because I miss those little ones❤ They are all doing great, they are kind, loving, thoughtful souls. they give back to the community and put others first. Was life perfect? Oh heck no. I won’t go into personal struggles. Point being... you ARE making the right decision kiddo. You will not ever get these minutes.. hours, days weeks etc back. Please listen to your heart, I promise you, with all my heart you will ever regret it! Time goes by oh so fast. Yes, sounds cliche, as they say, but it is oh so true. Now, my husband and I are enjoying our grand babies❤❤❤...what a JOY and BLESSING! Funny thing is, we still feel like we are in our thirties on the inside! Praise God for that! Don’t apologize to anyone, honey. I worked at one job in particular when I was nearing my 50’s, and I became numb. I was in a dangerous place. Thanks be to God I left and began a new career. My point is, I wouldn’t wish anyone to feel what I felt over a job, being numb, where you feel no joy, no pain, no happiness, nothing. Go be with your little ones and husband and take care of you, and them sweetie! God bless! 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

I’m going to be honest because I’ve been following you and your mom for years. This is by far one of my favorite videos of you. I feel like this is the first time I see you be real and honest with us and although we enjoy ALL of your interior designs videos, they seem a little scripted. It’s so nice to see the real you and I have just became to like you even more after this. Running a company and being a mom is hard, especially when your kids are little. Take your time and enjoy them because they grow up so fast. We’ll be here to support you when you decide to post whatever content you decide to share with us. ❤

Honestly this is the most relatable video I have seen from you. Key word, relatable. A lot of times your videos come up and I know I like your content but I know I can't always do the things you do as far as decor or purchasing properties. So although I am happy for you I can't relate in certain aspects. You posting more lifestyle vlogs would be awesome because, I can relate to it more. Motherhood, fun activities with the kids, a yummy recipe, trips... all of it mixed in with a little decor here and there would be awesome. I feel like I would watch more and am excited to see you how you evolve into that. It's totally natural that your content change considering your life has changed. We want to see that!

I've been subscribed and watching you since you were single! Loved your videos then, love them now and I have to say I am so happy for you to make this decision. If we don't make changes it means we are not growing. We all have seasons and days we dip in and out of. I really look forward to any kind of video you put up because at the end of the day, it's you that makes these videos so lovely and if we need any interior design tips, we can look back at your older videos or occasional new ones. Enjoy your time. Social media and youtube and algorythms suck when one puts so much effort with no results. Glad you've broken free from it. 😃❤

You changed how I viewed interior design and during college when I was poor until I got married and grew a business and changed my life. You made such a positive impact. I think God not an algorithm brought me to this page and I couldn’t have needed this video more then right now. After 7 years of trying to have a baby we are pregnant (failed IVF miscarriage the works) and my baby has been my business I Am florist I grew it from the ground up and I was AGONIZING About closing for two months after the baby. You being courageous enough to share this made me feel less insane to want time with my child. To switch my focus and to learn to be a mom and give myself some for that when they’re little. Thank you for your encouragement in interior design, but also in life
