Fitness influencer Stephanie Buttermore, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 36, is being remembered for a powerful message she shared after stepping away from social media.

Buttermore had taken a break from the fitness content space in 2024, leaving behind a large following of over 1.17 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 500,000 followers on Instagram.

Months after stepping back, in May 2024, she posted a heartfelt message on Instagram titled, “What I’ve Learned Taking A Break from Instagram.”

In her message, she explained that being away from social media had been both positive and challenging. She shared that while there were some negatives, the overall experience had been beneficial for her well-being.

Buttermore said she had been largely absent online throughout the year but had gained valuable insights from the break. She added that although she sometimes felt a sense of emptiness from being disconnected, the benefits of stepping away made it worthwhile.

She also expressed love and appreciation for her followers, saying she truly missed them despite her absence.

Her death was announced on March 7 by her fiancé, Jeff Nippard, leaving fans shocked and saddened.

Stephanie Buttermore’s message is now being widely shared again, with many followers remembering her honesty and openness about mental health and life beyond social media.
