Although Phan has been one of the original Youtube bloggers, she posted a video discussing why she left youtube two years ago. In the video, she explained the authentic joy from starting a YouTube and making videos, and the difficulties of chasing after success and feeling disconnected from herself. YouTube became her outlet in the beginning, but as she got farther into her career it began to take a negative toll on mental health. As a result, she decided to take a break from YouTube and start over by finding herself and making her EM Cosmetics brand.
