NOTE: I originally just shared this with channel members and patrons, but had someone else check in on me today, so I figured a public post might be of interest to some. <3

Thank you thank you thank you, as always, for all your kind support. It makes such a difference in my life. To be honest (and some viewers may have suspected this by the recent lack of content,) my mental health situation has gotten out of hand in the past few months. Nothing for any of you to worry about: I'm actively working on it, and I'm not in danger or anything. Plus, I was recently able to get health insurance for the first time in a very long time, and they are currently reviewing possible coverage for some treatment that I hope will be a big help.

I just wanted to give a little acknowledgment of the situation. I'm looking forward to getting new content out as soon as I can, and I hope you're all well!

Love,
JB

P.S. I'm including a photo of me on a very good day a few weeks ago, at a wedding in Maine. They let me stay on a houseboat!

Hey y'all! I just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm planning to publish Commune 5 tonight as a premiere. (For those who aren't aware, YouTube premieres allow viewers to watch a new video in real time with live chat available.) It's not fully uploaded yet, but I'm planning to aim for 10:00PM Central (11:00PM Eastern, 8:00 PM Pacific.) I'd love to see you there if you can make it!

I'm hoping to be there for the live chat as much as possible, but that will be slightly dependent on how cooperative my kids are with bedtimes. Wish me luck!

Oh, and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I uploaded my very first ever ASMR video 11 years ago today. I may try to do a livestream to celebrate another night this week, would any of y'all be interested?

Just wanted to take a moment to recommend ‪@hankschannel‬ ‘s wonderful new focus app, Focus Friend. I’ve been really struggling with depression lately and have been sucked into scrolling on my phone WAY too much. As a big fan of gamification, I’ve tried a number of stay-off-your-phone apps over the years, but none of them have hooked me as quickly or enthusiastically as this one.

I’m in no way affiliated with this app, it’s just a precious little ray of light and has been so welcome during a very heavy time. I figured it might be just the right mix of practical and delightful for some of y’all too.❤️✨🫘

Hey y’all! Just a quick update on summer content, for anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes workings of this channel. ☀️

First off, I want to apologize for the lack of variety lately—it’s been a lot of otoscope, lights, and massage. While many ASMR artists do “batch filming” (filming multiple videos consecutively in one long filming session to save time on equipment setup, makeup, etc.) I only recently figured out that—for me—the most efficient way to batch film is by sticking to one category per session. It saves even more time when it comes to collecting props, creating outlines, researching reference material, and so on.

Filming during summer vacation is *extremely* difficult for me. All three of my kids are home all day, every day, and filming requires several hours of total silence in the house—which is a rare commodity right now. On top of that, I live in Central Texas. I film in a small booth, and the AC has to be turned off while filming (it’s just too loud), so after a certain point in the late morning, it becomes completely unworkable. No matter how many layers of setting spray I use, how many ice packs I strap to myself, or how many other tricks I’ve tried over the years … once it gets above a certain temperature in the booth, my makeup starts melting and I start involuntarily breathing like I just sprinted there. 🫠🥵

I’ve tried just “toughing it out” many times over the years, but the result is always the same: a woman attempting to soothe you while panting and sweating profusely like she’s harboring a dark secret. Not exactly the relaxing vibe I’m going for.

Anyway—I managed to get in three full batch filming sessions before the school year ended: otoscope, lights, and massage. I had hoped to squeeze in a few more, but (as many of you know) I’ve been dealing with some heavy life stuff, and that’s all I could manage. Most of my summer YouTube work has been focused on editing and recording supplemental audio.

So! There will likely be a few more otoscope, light, and massage videos in the coming weeks, and then you should start seeing more variety once the new school year begins and I have more consistent filming opportunities. Until then, I’m determined that if I’m able to get in a morning filming session, it’s going to be reserved for Commune.

Thanks for reading, if you’re still with me. I’m endlessly grateful for your kindness and your viewership. No matter how hard things get, I know I’m incredibly lucky to be able to do this work for you. 💚

Hey y’all! Doing one last little sales push before the end of the month (thank you SO much to everyone who bought pins and postcards💌) and I’ve got a new digital release for you. This is a new, 3-hour “twin effect” otoscope video that will be released publicly at the end of July, but you can get it a MONTH early through my shop.

To make it as accessible as possible, this is a “pay what you can” sale, with multiple price points to choose from, starting at $0.99. Your purchase gets you:

👉 a link to the unlisted, ad-free, early access version of this 3-hour video (which will remain ad-free, even after the public version publishes)
👉 a digital download for the entire 3-hour audio
👉 my deep gratitude for your support of this channel

As always, the shop also has a few merch options, including shirts, hats, and handwritten postcards.

Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

Love,
JB

Friendly PSA to please tip your delivery drivers if you can.🙏 I know times are tough, but even if you can’t afford to be generous, $1 or $2 can make a difference. I’ve been doing Doordash to help support my family these past few weeks, and I’ve been genuinely surprised by how many people don’t tip anything at all.

Most drivers are just regular people trying to get by, and the base pay barely covers gas—let alone things like time or wear and tear on our cars. A small tip helps more than you might think. Thank you!❤️

I gave two of my kids a scavenger hunt where they needed to find and take photos of stuff around the house together. For "something that sounds nice", they came to my room and took a photo of me.🥹💕
