so it's been almost one month since Eugenia Cooney made her amazing comeback
by doing her video with Shane Dawson and it's been almost a month since
Jaclyn Glenn came out with her series of videos about Eugenia Cooney so
after a month how is you jr. doing and is there anything that we can learn from
this of course there is so stay tuned
what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I like to
do is take different topics going on in the YouTube community try to see what
lessons we can learn from them to improve our own mental and emotional
well-being so if you're any of that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring
that notification bell and real quick some of you know this some of you don't
but I have a podcast and I've been doing it daily so if you want some more
variety if you like long-form content if you want to hear me discussing different
topics outside of the realm of YouTube I dive into all sorts of different topics
so make sure that you go check it out it still does have the overall goal of
trying to see what things that we can learn to kind of improve our lives and
kind of look at different situations from different angles
and all that so the links will be down in the description down below make sure
you check it out a different lens put up a youtube channel - I've been so busy I
have like I don't know 10 or 15 episodes on there but I need to get the rest up
there so you can go subscribe to that if you want I will hopefully have that
updated by the end of the weekend so anyways yeah let's talk about Eugenia
Cooney and how she's been doing so I want to reiterate the goal of my channel
the intention of my channel like I am a firm believer in the idea now we always
need to be learning and growing no matter what we're doing I believe that
that is an opportunity to learn and grow so when we're consuming YouTube content
I feel like we need to be taking some time after we watch a video
and ask yourself like is there anything I can learn that might be able to
benefit my life right and I think we should do this with all situations when
we interact with other people how about maybe it's fans maybe those family
members with maybe it's coworkers what can we learn from every single
situation so when it comes to commentary channels when it comes to drama channels
often we're looking at different influencers and the question is is this
person a good influence or a bad influence and if we're being honest most
of the videos commentating on different public figures typically it's pretty
critical typically it's quite negative and Eugenia Kuhn is no different for a
very very long time people are making a lot of negative videos about her and
when I say negative I don't mean like they were all like just bashing her
anything like that but negative in the way of people were making videos being
concerned about her people were concerned about the influence she had on
her audience and I'm no different um I had a lot of requests months and
months and months ago to start making videos on Eugenia Cooney and as I
started to kind of learn more about what was going on in her story I made videos
as well and here's a thing like my number one concern this is the sound
corny but I'm being honest my number one concern is all of you it's you baby
alright so like when I look at things and I look at different influences I
look at what's going on I'm like okay when I've always see a video or what's
going on in the community I'm like how is this influencing the audience so you
guys are my number one priority alright and sometimes when I call out a
bit hey view and say hey maybe this isn't a good idea sometimes it might
hurt that influencers feelings but something that we all need to get better
at myself included and I'm hoping I accomplish that with this video is
talking about the good influences too and you guys I cannot express the warmth
in my heart just seeing how Eugenia Cooney is doing that young woman has
done this amazing 180 like when I first started covering you know Eugenia Cooney
and I'm trying to see what we can learn from it like one of my main concerns
again was all of you and I started to learn about people following her fourth
inspiration that's something I never even heard of before people were being
motivated by Eugenia Cooney's appearance to keep pursuing their own eating
disorder and that's a very scary thing but with this complete turnaround that
Eugenia Cooney has done we gotta learn from that - like girl do you follow
Eugenia on Twitter like let me tell you that girl like Eugenia her tweets
brighten up my day like look at these tweets on the screen right now and
here's the thing here's what I love about it to seeing the inspiration that
you tweet out I don't know if she's thinking of them herself sometimes she
does say I heard this today or if they're not coming from video games the
reality is I do not care it wants my heart so much to see what she's doing
like you guys um working in addiction treatment for three years and just even
me being sober for seven years there is nothing there is no feeling better than
seeing somebody overcome any type of challenge or mental illness or struggle
whether it's an addiction or an eating disorder like I have been involved in so
many people's lives that I'm so grateful like I used to joke around with my
clients about this all the time like I would see people when they first came
into treatment like right when they're going through detox and they're coming
in look at all like ah right like I did when I first got sober and then seeing
the the change in them not only like the physical appearance but seeing this like
restoration of hope like it is just amazing and I really hope you guys are
are acknowledging that and being very conscious of that when you're looking at
Eugenia Cooney like what I love about her is when when any of us start doing
better when any of us start recovering you know we can just stay on our own
path and just keep focusing ourselves and doing our thing or we can realize
that we overcame something huge and now we can take our story and
use that as motivation to inspire others regardless regardless of what you
thought of Shane Dawson's video with Eugenia Cooney I am willing to bet that
thousands and that might be a conservative number maybe it was
millions or tens of thousands a hundred thousands of people men and women right
who went out and got help or even considered getting help like when people
like Eugenia Cooney put themselves in the public spotlight and they let people
know it's okay to ask for help it is just one of the most amazing things and
that's something that I try to do it's my channel I learned a long time ago
that my experience doesn't have to be this dark shameful thing that I have to
carry around with me right I can take that old experience that past experience
that struggle I went through and maybe be able to help others and it's so
awesome seeing Eugenia Cooney do that and Shane Dawson was the perfect person
to help her move in that direction alright I might bring her back it's
awesome and you see those two communicating on Twitter and their likes
and each other's presence it is just amazing so I want you to learn from that
and be inspired by that and follow people on you know YouTube or Twitter or
Instagram who inspire you and realize like me overcoming my addiction I'm
nothing special Eugenia she's killing it but she's just
an average girl who is overcoming her eating disorder in front of her eyes
like if we can do it you can do it too alright but the next thing I want to
talk about what we can learn from this situation is the struggle that Eugenia
has gone through being in the public spotlight like it is hard enough for
anybody to overcome an addiction or an eating disorder in front of their
friends in front of their family members in front of their co-workers right and
you see Yugi Eugenia and like when Jacqueline Glen Manor video there were a
ton of other videos coming out as well with your concern about
Gina Cooney or her mom and things like that right and that that can set
somebody up for a relapse right but Eugenia Cooney myself anybody in
recovery like we need to realize we're godless of what else is happening
regardless of the external circumstances we need this we need to stay mentally
well you know what I mean like I used to relapse and use what people said and how
people treated me as an excuse to relapse right so I've been watching I've
been watching how Eugenia handled her comeback and all the videos being made
about her Jaclyn Glenn making the video and everything like that I'm like okay
how is Eugenia going to respond to this and she's just doing phenomenal so what
we all need to take from that is early recovery whether you're recovering from
an eating disorder addiction if you're recovering from trauma or agoraphobia or
anything like early recovery is rough but I want you to look at people like
Eugenia Cunha and say oh my god like I don't even have millions of eyeballs on
me if she can do it I can do it too right
we need to be able to look at other people for inspiration and understand
that if they can get through these challenges if they can get through these
hardships we can - the last thing I want to talk about is this really interesting
because when Eugenia Cooney came back you know obviously Jacqueline Glenn made
her video a few videos and other people made videos I just checked online to see
what videos people have made about Eugenia Cooney in the last four weeks
not not really anything right like nobody is like how do you know what
maybe we're wrong maybe Eugenia Cooney is doing well she seems to be doing well
you know nobody's making those videos so I would like to continue to do
follow-ups and I want to do this with more youtubers and everything and people
who are being positive influences in fact if you follow me tomorrow tomorrow
I know they're kind of up and down with my uploads and not doing daily lately
but tomorrow I'm going to make a video about how
well Taylor Nicole Dean is doing and those of you who follow my channel
you're like oh god Chris but don't worry I have an exciting video for tomorrow
because she's doing awesome alright but anyways let me know what you have
learned from following your genius Cooney's journey down in the comments
below and don't forget my podcast has been going daily so if you want some
