Taylor Frankie Paul reflects on the highlights of her worst year

Paul, manager MomToktook to TikTok a few days ago to share the worst parts of 2024, followed a few days later by the best parts of what she called her “worst year.”

After sharing the negatives from 2024, Paul decided to reflect on some of the “highlights”.

“I did all the negatives, so we're going to dig into the positives,” she said in hers TikTok video. “First things first, my beautiful baby boy was born. I know a lot of people are like, when you have a baby, it's supposed to be the best year. For a lot of moms, the postpartum years are usually the worst years, and everyone's just a different experience, as a mom just going through a lot of hormonal changes, depression and it's more about mental health.

She went on to talk about her son, who she said has been “such a blessing” in her life, before moving on to another “huge achievement” from 2024.

“Another huge achievement was our show on Hulu,” she continued. “Slap on one of the highest-rated shows this year. Like, it's going to be good, but the fact that it hit #1 on Hulu the first day, what the hell is that? That was amazing.”

Thanks to the show's popularity, Paul has had many people come to her to thank her for sharing her story and for “helping” her in many different ways.

“And the fact that I was helping them in different ways and being open to sharing your story, that was the coolest thing for me,” she said. “And I think that's what's so cool about the people that you're a fan of and you're watching that were a fan of you and said they love your show, so that was really cool too.”

It wasn't long after the reality show was released on Hulu that it picked up a second season, “about 20 episodes long.”

“So when I say our lives have pretty much changed overnight, traveling, it was like your car will be there at that time, you're picked up, your hotel is booked, your driver will be there,” she continued. . “Another way of life that I had, what is it?”

She also talked about presenting at the CMAs, which she called a “dream come true.” Another highlight for Paul was meeting her therapist, who she believes will be the one to “save” her.

Days before her video highlighting some of the positives from the past year, Paula shared a video talking about the “worst” parts of her year.

“I want to say that this was even worse than my 2022, which is saying a lot,” she said. “Having said that, I'm having trouble deciphering which one it was. And I'm only saying that because it opened up amazing opportunities for me.”

She said she wasn't going to “go into the details of why this was one of the worst years” because viewers will see “everything settles down here this year.”

“It was a year of a lot of unpacking of all these things that needed to happen for real change to happen,” she continued. “And I'm not really one to blame people for my life. I'm aware of what was my part and what I could have done differently. What lessons can I learn from this experience?”

Paul went on to share the video, noting that throughout her 2024 there were both “good things” and “very hard things.”

“Like, earlier this year, I'm so disconnected. We see it on the show, I'm not there. I can't even watch the show because it's so hard to watch,” she shared. “And then I finally wanted to start feeling again, so with that you have to start feeling a lot of pain and letting things go.”

She said 2022 “was experienced”, 2023 “was lost” and 2024 she “let the pain inside”. She said she immediately released the pain that had her “on the bathroom floor, screaming, crying on the phone, intensive care.”

“I'm asking God, saying you need to help me. And please remember, this is not about me complaining about life's problems. It's all about mental health,” she continued. “And it doesn't matter what external things you have in life, because it will never make you happy if you are not happy inside.”

Paul's video sharing the bad parts of 2024 went viral with over 2.3 million views. Her latest video talking about the positive aspects of the year is quickly going viral.

Many of her fans took to the comment sections of her videos to share their support and how they relate to her.

“Comeback is much bigger than failure! 2025 is your year,” one viewer wrote in comments about the downsides of 2024. Another said: “Thank you for including us and showing us how important it is to take responsibility but also look after ourselves as mums.”

In the comments for 2024 highlights, Hulu wrote: “2025 will be your year.” Paul answered, “Our YEAR.”

Many others shared how they related to Paul's postpartum conversation.

One viewer said: “You are the most genuine, transparent of all. Love Taylor.”
