For this month’s cover of Seventeen magazine, I flew up to Northern California to sit down at home with YouTube star Bethany Mota.

Bethany’s not only a YouTube star now, of course—though, uh, I think we can agree that 7.5 million subscribers is more than enough in this world? Still, she’s a powerhouse with boundless energy and big dreams. So she also has her own fashion and home line at Aeropostale and has been dominating on Dancing with the Stars. You can read some of the Bethany Mota story highlights here at Seventeen.com.

But for the most fun, check out the October 2014 issue of Seventeen to read Bethany’s beautiful advice about finding your voice and sharing it.
