Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles a newborn is this is the look of a mom who woke up 15,000 times last night I have to just like do something else beside thinking about breastfeeding and my super painful breasts don't have cabbage in them right now and then back to the milk factory I'm gonna be answering all the burning questions post if you have any new ones it's 9:00 a.m. guys my weekly vlogs are gonna start looking really different today number three at home all max is doing is sleeping pooping and eating all I'm doing is breast feeding pumping sleeping I would call it sleeping but I try this is a 24-hour job a newborn is we got a night nurse which is probably the smartest decision I've ever made with my pregnancies I don't know I never did it with Jake and Ben who would have literally changed my life she comes to me with the baby when it's time to eat all that calls me I'd breastfeed him and then she'll burp him change him swaddle him put him to sleep those tasks that take a lot of time I can use that time to actually go and rest a little bit or what I usually do is I'll go pump right after to make sure that I'm draining my breasts because I got a really really really bad infection from breastfeeding with Jake and Ben that's something that I'm very scared of so I'm trying to be attentive to my body okay it's time to feed the baby I know drunk you ready for your second dose the life of the prince I tell you okay full time our first outing to a doctor's appointment this is my days are like now my boobs on fire he was a little fussy I could keep feeding him this is only day three four but I'm kind of persisting with breast feeding which is something I haven't done with the other two was very very difficult for me I went to formula pretty much right after giving birth with Jake I still pump dating for like two weeks but would been like after four days it was done I got really really bad infection I really want to keep trying and be persistent with it and just have a different experience because I didn't have the breastfeeding experience that a lot of other mothers do I'm feel very grateful and happy that I have the opportunity the third time to try and see how it is I feel like this time around it's a little bit different I have the proper mindset I feel like with Jake I was super anxious at all times with Ben I was still like very I wasn't calm now I'm just have a different state of mind and I take it you know one day at a time one hour at a time I'm kind of going with the changes I'm just trying to let go of like this schedule and just enjoyed this time because it goes by really really fast he's napping now I think I have like maybe 40 minutes to an hour so I'm gonna go down for a nap as well and then back to the milk factory this is this bomb is blocking it today I'm making very big move and we're leaving the house because I'm going crazy I'm gonna go to the office I'm gonna take max with me I have to just like do something else beside thinking about breastfeeding and my super painful breasts that have cabbage in them right now coming for you the outside world laughs is in the case I have to get

back home we'll have dinner and hopefully I'll be done I'll be sleeping by 9:00 today is probably gonna be the most like active day for this vlog cuz this whole week I was sitting at home and just staring at the wall and feeling max first I need to shoot a video that I just couldn't get myself to shoot yesterday then we have a meeting regarding our new house and then we're shooting meet the team video which I did a post on Instagram and ask you if you guys want to hear all about it and you guys are very interested there was some really really good question oh look at this bird nest I know that a lot of influencers kind of keep it on the low this whole business of social media and I would always wonder like how does it work where does it start who helps them so I wanted to just show that information to you I kind of don't see a point to keep it all secretive you know I hope we all succeed we all have room PS I this is my first pair of pants can I tell you it was an easy fit no I had to go down in my bed and catch my breath but young master Jake it today got out of going to school because you said you're not feeling well yeah so you wanna rest well deserve a day off right my love okay help nori today and I love you thank you too baby chicken yeah okay make sure they fall off their chairs I love you bye baby run away to the office just little munchkin who broke out wood baby acne I'm sorry so Gary yeah you know what I found yesterday what I found a blog that I used to write my poems in really yeah it was from 2009 I'm gonna read it to you wait and you're gonna tell me how you feel about it it was in a very emotional time in my life how are you yeah guys I'm wearing pins I don't know an invisible area was for you mmm we're going to do our first outfit of the day jess is the best thanks honey good place for the child Wow the world is a scary place with the new board back to work back to the daily grind with this little dude yeah and you forget these stages so bad you're so cute it's weird to see you with a new baby too because like I'm so you see with you like with my bed and yeah running around all the burning questions post if you have any new ones so I posted a post on Instagram and I asked you I mean if you have any questions about living in because I feel like throughout our videos people are like who are all these always common people and why do you need so many employees and what do you actually do we have nothing to hide we want to share it with you why don't you start by chatting about why valera and we started it I started doing YouTube in 2016 and I started in my kitchen just doing recipes and smoothies and taught myself how to edit that was an interesting ride and back then I was supposed to maybe like once a week I really didn't think long term with that I remember my first sponsorship came in from like this probiotic brand and they offered me with $50.00 and yes I didn't understand how it all works because again even like me searching for other youtubers talking about the business you can't find any information especially the business side of it it's just how I think exactly is this secret thing so I did a sponsorship about than $50 I ran to Gary I was like look at my PayPal account about $50 for that he's like OkCupid so when the sponsorships kept coming I was doing everything by myself and I came to Gary and I was like hey look I made X amount of money this month and Gary's like oh okay but people are emailing you there and interest there's something happening here if you look at all these videos they say you have to be consistent you have to put content your to good content and I was like getting so frustrated because I was taking care of the kids and I was also shooting one hour I was editing eight hours because I'm super slow and editing is like so annoying having someone like Garry to be like okay you have to focus on your strengths and your strengths are delivering content and telling a story and you're the storyteller that's how you get to the next level so that's when we decided to get Emma we actually started having a conversation about hiring people when I already had revenue that I could reinvest back in the business I was very lucky that the money that I was making that wasn't the money that needed to support me in my personal life I had the luxury of taking the money that I was making from the business and putting it back and that's when we actually started valera and Gary's like let's start let's incorporate and we'll make it a business I decided okay you know what Valera Inc will be a media company a media company that's basically I'm the media some of me it may be me I am aware as a model I had agents I had agencies throughout the world and they were taking care of all the business side you're sitting and waiting for your agencies to pitch you to brands to do things and I didn't want to be in that situation again and that's kind of what I liked about started getting into YouTube and Instagram because all of a sudden I was kind of you know in charge of my own faith when I started to grow all these MCS and other agencies for influencers started which you have to me and saying hey let's we want to represent you I knew that I didn't want to be in the same place so I'm just sitting and waiting for them to bring opportunities to me so a lot of you guys are asking why do you need all these people there's so many youtubers that are just like a one-man show a lot of them are not you just don't see that aspect of their business a lot of them just don't do the business side they sang with an agency or a multi-channel network that's it they just like create the content and the agencies take care of the rest we really
