For instance, when Lily was around 7 years old, Disney reached out, interested in featuring her in a TV show. Katie was then faced with a difficult decision but ultimately chose to turn the opportunity down in fear of her daughter being negatively affected by the experience.

“I just knew that was not the direction I wanted for my children. And then through personal experiences raising them, I am so incredibly grateful that I listened to my instinct and didn’t go that route,” she explained.

The family then gradually reduced their presence on social media, uploading less and less videos on their YouTube channel.
