The REALITY Of Being an Influencer: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Hook-Up Culture Is LYING To You

On this episode of Keep It Private, Millie is getting into something she's never been shy about having opinions on — hook-up culture, why she thinks it's quietly traumatised an entire generation. Fair warning: this isn't a lecture about purity rings or celibacy. Millie makes it clear from the start that this is about emotional honesty, not morality. She opens up about her own one night stand experiences — one left her feeling like a stranger had been inside her soul, and the other had her silently crying in the dark while the guy got dressed. Both were the confirmation she needed that hook-up culture just isn't wired into her. Then comes the deeper stuff. Millie breaks down why she thinks men and women experience hook-up culture so differently and why it doesn't serve anyone, leaving everyone a little more emotionally confused than before. The real takeaway isn't to swear off casual sex — it's to stop abandoning yourself in the process. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of Keep It Private every Wednesday!

Why I REALLY Quit YouTube...

On this episode of Keep It Private, Millie is keeping things casual — prosecco in hand, new puppy Mercury on her lap — and finally answering the question everyone's been asking: why has she gone quiet on her main YouTube channel (for TWO years!)? The honest answer? It's complicated. She takes us right back to the beginning — posting gymnastics videos at 12, the viral eBay prom dress era at 17, flying to the Bronx to get Cardi B's nail tech to do her nails. For years, YouTube was her whole world and she was a machine. Then TikTok happened. Then Instagram. Then Snapchat, where she posts a hundred times a day. But it goes deeper than just getting stretched thin across platforms. Losing her mum completely shifted her identity — and she couldn't figure out what kind of YouTube videos the new version of herself would even make... Rather than show up halfway and churn out content that didn't feel right, she chose to wait until it all aligned again. Whether that was the right call, she genuinely doesn't know. The silver lining? Mercury. A twelve-week-old puppy who's somehow managed to do what two years couldn't — add structure, routine, and a sense of grounding back into her life. And with that, maybe a spark of something new. She's not gone. YouTube is still home - with new episodes of Keep It Private on the way.

Why I LOVE Being Alone (And Why Loneliness Is Your Superpower)

On this episode of Keep It Private, Millie is making a case for something most people are terrified of: loneliness. And she's completely flipping the script on what it actually means. There's a massive difference between being alone and feeling lonely. One is just a physical state, the other is a perspective — and perspectives can be changed. Millie digs into why so many people avoid alone time, how doing YouTube throughout her entire high school years left her genuinely lonely and how to block out the noise of other people's opinions... which can feel very noisy in your quiet time. She also dives into the concept of mirrors, champions solo travel as one of the greatest tools for reconnecting with your inner child and shares her insight into how to recalibrate your soul. The takeaway? Loneliness isn't rejection. It's redirection. And if you're in a lonely season right now, it just means life is stripping back the noise so you can finally hear yourself again.

The REALITY Of Being an Influencer: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Millie has a new episode of Keep It Private - and on this episode, she is pulling back the curtain — and nothing is off limits. We're talking money, men, stalkers, and the identity crisis nobody talks about. She kicks things off with the behind-the-scenes reality of meet and greets — including the dirty secret that YouTubers weren't getting paid for them, and the silent, mortifying clout war playing out between creators based on the size of their queues. Then comes the dating confessions. From the awkwardness of men having a full archive of her videos before they've even said hello, to the guys who secretly know who she is but pretend they don't — Millie breaks down why dating as an influencer is genuinely its own kind of nightmare. And the insecure boyfriends who couldn't handle the attention? Yeah, we're getting into that too. The stalker chapter is genuinely chilling. One guy has been DMing her almost every day for four or five years, convinced they're destined soulmates — and it's gone way further than just sliding into DMs. On the money side, Millie gets brutally honest: she made a lot, understood very little of it, and spent the rest on designer clothes she now admits were hideous. But the real heart of this episode is what being an influencer does to your identity — the loneliness, the feeling of being permanently misunderstood, and how losing her mum sent her into a spiral that made her not post for months because she genuinely didn't know who she was anymore. The conclusion? She's still figuring it out — and she's refreshingly okay with saying so. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of Keep It Private every Wednesday!

I Lost My Mum To Cancer And It Destroyed Me

On this episode of Keep It Private, Millie is opening up about the most personal thing she's ever shared: losing her mum to lung cancer, and everything that came with it. She takes us right back to the beginning: being 14 years old, dancing in the living room after school, watching her mum and stepdad pull up outside — and knowing instantly that something was very, very wrong. From that moment, through the years of treatment, to the heartbreaking final weeks during Covid... Millie goes all in on the full story. Nothing is left out. But this episode isn't just grief — it's growth. Five years on, Millie reflects on how she actually processed (and avoided processing) it all: the first six months of going through the motions in a strange autopilot state, the partying phase that followed, and the eventual breakdown that forced her to finally face it. The bigger lesson? Grief isn't about the person being gone — it's about having so much love with nowhere to put it. Millie talks about redistributing that love and touches on impermanence, spirituality, and how losing the person she loved most completely rewired the way she sees the world. If you're struggling with grief, or you've lost someone and felt completely alone in it — this one's for you. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of Keep It Private every Wednesday!
