A rising star in the world of digital content, Miranda Rae has been gaining attention not only for her engaging videos but also for being open about her journey with an eating disorder (ED). In an exclusive interview, Rae spoke about her motivation for sharing her story online, the overwhelming support she has received and her future plans to continue making an impact on her audience.
Rae, known for her expressive hair changes and open approach to mental health, was inspired to share her experience with an eating disorder after finding comfort in similar stories from other YouTubers. “When I was younger, I always appreciated seeing YouTubers who were open about their mental health,” Rae said. “It made me feel less alone with these issues.” Her desire to reciprocate the support she once received was a driving force behind her decision to be open about her eating disorder.
Since she started sharing her experience, Rae has received an outpouring of support from her followers. “The response has been overwhelming and I’m incredibly grateful,” she says. “Even though I started posting about my erectile dysfunction online to help others who may be struggling with it, I think the positive love and support I’ve received has also helped me on my healing journey.”
Rae’s openness about her struggles is influenced by other online creators who have inspired her, particularly Emma Chamberlain. Rae cites Chamberlain’s transparency and authenticity as a huge influence on her own content. “Emma Chamberlain has always been my biggest inspiration,” Rae said. “Her ability to share her struggles made me feel less alone and inspired me to do the same for my audience. She was always the one who pulled me out of a dark period when I was younger.”
In addition to her mental health advocacy, Rae is known for her bold hair transformations. “Wearing fun colors is always so much fun for me!” Rae gushed. “I feel the most like myself when I have crazy colors in my hair. Although I like wearing natural hair colors for a while, I always tend to add a pop of color to my everyday look.” Her playful approach to hair and style has become a trademark of her online persona.

Rae is excited about the future of her content creation. “Right now, I just feel really good about making silly videos online that make people laugh,” she said. “Being an internet personality with a positive influence has been my dream, and now I get to live it out.” Rae has been focused on growing her presence on YouTube, a platform she first discovered in high school. “YouTube is special to me because that’s where I started as a creator,” she explained. “It’s been so much fun to rise through the ranks.”
While Rae is excited about her current projects, she hinted at an exciting collaboration with a brand she has long admired. “I can’t announce it yet, but I think I’m releasing a collaboration with my absolute DREAM brand later this year that I couldn’t be more excited about,” she revealed.
Miranda Rae continues to inspire and connect with her audiences with her blend of authenticity, creativity, and humor. Her journey not only reflects her personal growth, but also serves as a beacon of hope and support for others facing their own challenges.
