YouTube Sensation Clawdeena on Finding Healthy Coping Mechanisms for Self-Harm

Could Be Better, tbh (with Stacy London)

Clawdeena is a makeup and doll enthusiast who’s best known for her YouTube channel. With 488,000 subscribers and over 200 million views on her YouTube channel to date, Clawdeena has created an incredible community who watch and engage with her stop-motion videos and make-up tutorials. Clawdeena came out to her family when she was 13 years old and has dealt with mental health issues — at some point, even using self-harm to cope with her pain.

In this episode, Stacy chats with Clawdeena about how she is working through tough days — including moments of depression. Clawdeena also shares how empathizing with others has helped her become more self aware, and how her vulnerability (matched with her incredible talent) has made her YouTube community (with half a million subscribers to date) feel more empowered to share their own stories.
