Taylor Frankie Paul Reviews the Best Moments of Her Most Challenging Year

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

In her TikTok post, she mentioned, “I covered all the downsides, so now let’s focus on the upsides.” She began by expressing gratitude for her beautiful baby boy’s arrival. Despite the common belief that having a baby should make it the best year, Paul acknowledged that for many mothers, the postpartum period can be challenging due to hormonal changes, depression, and mental health struggles.

She continued to talk about her son saying he’s been “such a blessing” in her life, before moving on to another “huge accomplishment” from 2024.

Discussing another achievement, Paul excitedly shared about their show on Hulu. Initially expecting the show to do reasonably well, she was ecstatic to reveal that it became one of the top-rated shows of the year on Hulu. She exclaimed, “We thought it would do okay, but to see it reach number one on Hulu on the very first day was absolutely mind-blowing!”

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

“And that I helped them in ways and to be open to share your story, that was the coolest part for me,” she said. “And I feel like, the thing that’s so cool about people that you fangirl over and watch, that were fangirling over you and said that they loved your show, so that was also really cool.”

It didn’t take long after the reality show was released on Hulu that it was picked up for a second season, “for like 20 episodes.”

“So when I say our lives pretty much changed overnight, for traveling purposes, that they were like, your car is gonna be there at this time, you’re picked up, your hotel’s booked, your driver will be there,” she continued. “A different lifestyle that I was like, what is this?”

She also talked about presenting at the CMA’s, which she called was a “dream come true.”  One other highlight for Paul was meeting her therapist, who she said will be the one who “saves” her.

A few days before her video highlighting some positives from last year, Paul shared a video talking about the “worst” parts of her year.

“I wanna say this was even worse than my 2022, which says a lot,” she said. “With that being said, I’m having trouble deciphering which one was. And I only say that because along with that, I had amazing opportunities come my way.”

She said she wasn’t going to “go into detail of why this was one of the worst years,” because viewers will get to see it “all unravel here this next year.”

“It was a year of a lot of unpacking all these things that had to happen in order for there to be actual change,” she continued. “And I’m not really one to put blame on people for my life. I’m self aware to know what was my part and what could I have done differently. What is a lesson I can take from this experience?”

Paul continued her video sharing that there were both “good things” and “really hard things” throughout her 2024.

“For example, earlier this year, I am so disassociated. We see it in 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 in.”

She said 2022 “was experienced,” 2023 “was lost” and in 2024, she “let the pain in.”  She said she let the pain in all at once, which had her “on bathroom floors, screaming, crying on phone calls, intense therapy.”

“I prayed to God saying you have to help me. And please remember this is not about me complaining about life problems. This is 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’re not happy inside.”

Paul’s video sharing the bad parts of 2024 went viral with more than 2.3 million views. Her more recent video, talking about the positives of the year, is quickly on its way to becoming viral.

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

“The comeback is far greater than the setback!! 2025 is your year,” one viewer wrote in the comments about the negative parts of 2024. Another said, “Thank you for including us and showing us how important it is to take accountability but also take care of ourselves as moms.”

Over in the comments of her 2024 highlights, Hulu wrote, “2025 will be your year.” Paul responded, “Our YEAR.”

Many others shared how they related to Paul’s postpartum talk.

One viewer said, “You the most realest, transparent of them all. Love ya Taylor.”
