Hiii hi hi! Let's chat about love and crushes today
I don't think you sound preachy at all. I love getting and giving advice. I think relationship advice could literally go on forever. There are SO MANY things that could go one way or the other. I mean, when it involves 2 people, things can get messy, uncertain, or filled with angst, but it's always good to just be open. I feel that as long as there is open communication, you can do almost anything! Great vid!

My boyfriend of 4 years is an aircraft maintenance engineer and I am in publishing and editing working towards opening up my own independent bookstore, I love that our careers are so different because he is always interested in listening to me talk passionately about books and I love hearing about how well he is doing at work and how much he enjoys what he does! He has encouraged me through changing my mind about my career about 3 different times through uni and has always made me feel like I have the world in front of me to do what I please with :)
I absolutely love these radtalks videos, they're so calming and helpful!!
Thank you!
I love hearing you talk about vulnerability and your struggles with it. I would have never guessed with you always being so open with us so it gives me hope that one day I won't be so scared to open my heart up❤
Thank you so much for finding ways to support Planned Parenthood! You are such an inspiration!
I LOVE Rad Talks! Especially about relationships, your perspective is very similar to mine in so many ways but you have a more calm mind I think :P It's always nice to hear your thoughts in this type of format, keep em coming! (P.S loved seeing Hendrix in your snaps recently!)
Loved this. Thank you Carrie. Sometimes all we need is for someone else to say out loud what we already know, but are afraid to do. I came out of a 5 year relationship waiting for him to be "ready" to commit and now I wish I didn't waste so much time, so I totally and completely got you when you said, sometimes you just want to do it, but sometimes it can hurt so much. It really is the worst feeling to wait for someone who may never be ready. I'm on a new journey figuring out who I am and that's how I found your channel! Thanks for being so honest and keep shining! I love your videos! You should start podcasts!
Keep doing radtalks cause they're amazing!
And don't worry, you don't sound preachy at all; actually you sound like a humble and lovely young woman sharing ideas, helping others and starting conversations :) It's always nice to hear your point of view on different topics.
Have a great day 🌻
P.S. What you're doing for planned parenthood is amazing!
I love #RadTalks! I always go back and rewatch your old ones. I feel like the advice is calming and thought-provoking, especially if I'm feeling overwhelmed in relationships or life. Thanks Carrie!
Wow. This makes me so happy to hear!!
Adore you and your rad talks❤ you are filled with so much courage to be vulnerable and such beautiful wisdom.🙌🏻
awwww you were so cute when you said you miss alex... adorableee
Totally needed this vid today!
I looooove your radtalks videos! I could listen to you for hours! And don't worry you never seem preachy! 💜
Thank you!!! xx
I love that you are raising funds for Planned Parenthood. This is so important! I love videos about love. (I've said 'love' now like four times!) I just had a LOVEly romantic weekend with my spouse and this video gave me fuzzy feelings. LOVE love... *sigh* You also give magnificent advice in this video. :D
Carrie thank you so much for answering my question about when the right time is to ask "what are we?"!! It really gave me confidence in asking it and gave some great tips. I love your videos so much and I would love to see more relationship advice rad talks! Love you:)
Ah hi Grace! You're welcome! Thanks for asking an awesome question!
Not preachy! I love your and Alex's relationship! I grew up in a very unsupportive, emotionally closed off environment and in my late 20's am just starting to learn what a healthy relationship looks like, along with finally making my dreams of being an artist happen. Thanks for being a great example!
A video on creativity in its many forms and stages ❤️
Good idea!
I've had my heart broken fairly recently, and although I'm improving I still think about them everyday which is very painful. This talk grounded me for the day. Thank you for all the positive affirmations Carrie!
Thank you for using your free time to help Planned Parenthood! And using this platform to help too! You're the best!! Don't know if I would have survived my teens without Planned Parenthood! 💕💕
Good gracious this video came along at just the right time. I could listen to your advice all day long. More Rad Talks please!!!
Your videos always make me feel so calm
:)
Girl, I could listen to you "preach" on just about anything. Lol loved this video
Heyy Magda! Ah thanks! That's a great idea! :)
Carrie Rad I totally snapped you another idea earlier today (and you responded yay!) but I just loooove love love the content you put out and want your opinion on everything basically ❤️
Love that you're walking the talk and following up with action after marching. You're a love Carrie!
:)
So needed this today. You are such an inspiration, Carrie!
Sending you love
This video is just what I needed to hear today. Thank you Carrie. :)
A Rad Talk about traveling with your significant other would be great! Like, it's one thing to travel alone, but when you travel with someone it's a lot different.
You are so beautiful and have a beautiful soul. It's palpable. Also, thanks for talking about planned parenthood and it's importance. 💕
Can't believe I'm just watching this -- the whole part on life balance is perrrrrf
I think it's easier to keep the euphoria going a bit longer in long distance relationships because you sort of reignite it every time you see one other.
I think you're right. There is definitely something special about it.
Carrie , everything you mentioned that planned parenthood does we get free in the UK . It's beyond belief this has stopped in the US , it's 2017 for heavens sake . PS I'm a big fan of your fella and his bro , two cool guys .
That is so freaking amazing that you and your friend are doing a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood! It's such an amazing place for young women to get the help they need when they are in in a financial pinch or just feel uncomfortable in their situation to go to. I remember my first encounter there. I wish I was in the LA area so that I could attend!
xoxo
PS. We have the same phone case (as i'm sure other people in the world have too) WOW!
Great advice! Love this series so much
Thankhyou for answering my question. It helped me a lot ❤️
I had a pretty rough day today and watching this made me feel better somehow. Thank you
I'm so happy to hear that
Oh Carrie, you are wonderful! Love this, love your kind spirit.
ahh thank you
Talking about being around others that encourage you--reminded me of my current situation of my damaged relationship with my dad. I'm quite old and still at home since I don't have a regular income, and can't get a regular job due to location (middle of nowhere) and social anxiety. (Also still at home because I love just being with my family, they're my best friends!) I've been running a passion project of a youtube gaming channel with my brother for almost 2 years and have had such positive experiences--yet my dad isn't supportive since it doesn't make money; all I'm good for at this point in his eyes. Even though I can't help financially, I help run the house, do chores, make dinner, etc. Yet still, it's not enough. It's really damaging my self-esteem to depression, and I've told him as such a thousand times a thousand ways how he's making me feel over the years, but he doesn't seem to listen. He thinks he's done taking care of us since we're older; I think family is forever and am shocked at being felt treated like he doesn't want us here after we do so much. Sorry if this is long...not sure what to do. :/ Thanks for this talk, I liked the part about making sure in yourself before sharing it!
This video of yours literally made me fall in love with you even more! I get you so so so much
Aww my husband and I say "I miss your face" too! And you're spot on with the body language thing, when I met my husband at a group party, this will sound super cheesy but it was like we were alone in a crowded room, we talked mostly to each other within a group convo and had our eyes locked the whole time! ❤❤ I hope you see Alex soon!
I'd love to see you make a video about what inspires you: music, books, people, decor, hobbies, goals, etc.
carrie i love your rad talks. I would love to see you do this type of video with Alex to see a guy's take on the questions.
What a wonderful Planned Parenthood fundraiser! Thank you for using your platform to raise money for a vital cause! Im sad I live on the east coast and can't come :( Will you be vlogging the event?
Ah thanks! Ya, I will definitely be documenting it. Most likely will go up on my vlog channel! :)
Yay! xoxo
i don't think you sound "preachy" haha loved these rad talks. These videos always put me in a chill mindset
Ah cool! I'm so glad you love them :)
I love your videos and how you explain things💕💕
thanks so much :)
I love your videos so much!! I don't know if you remember me, but I was the girl that sang in your rad women video!!
AHH! Yes I remember you!
Thank you for watching and supporting me for so long
You seem like the kindest person ♥️
ahh thanks
I always look forward to watching your videos and I love these talks you have with us! You're just so calm and real all the time, ughhhh can I be you? 💛💛
Ahh thanks
congrats to your initiative!
love ue talks! help me so much
carrie rad you have no idea how much I needed this video right now! You really helped me see some things I needed to see. love you and your videos! P.S. snapchat fam
I really love this video because even tho I'm not in a relationship I'm learning about it. Thank you 😊
Ahh good :)
Glad it is helpful to you somehow
I just have to say and I never comment on videos so this is weird. But I recently just broke up with my boyfriend of one year and it was my first serious relationship I've had. It ended not so great and I've been doing okay with it, but this video helped me even more. Just hearing the things that you value in a relationship made me realize that my past relationship was not one that I should settle for. You're a beautiful person and it's so apparent in videos like these. Thank you so much💕💕💕💕
Sadie, thanks for commenting and opening up. Sorry to hear about your split with you boyfriend. It's the worst feeling, I know. It seems like you have such a great outlook thought. You're going to get through this and end up feeling better than ever before. You already know you're better off. I'm excited for what's in store in your future!
I love your headboard! where did you get it?
omg I have never been this early and I'm sure the video will be great! Love youu💫💞🌈
thanks for being early! I appreciate you!
Well, question is when should you stop waiting for someone? I've been trying to figure out what to do about this friend of mine. I really really like him and I am 100% sure he is worth waiting for. My gut feeling tells me to wait and that's exactly what I've been doing. But at the moment, my biggest fear is for all of it to be in vain. I've tried numerous times to just stop talking to him and move on but I always, come back to him. So I am basically split into wanting to get this over with and waiting for him to change his mind and love me back.
I mean, he even says he sees us together, married and all, in the future. As do I... But I don't know how much time is healthy for me to hold on to a dream basically.
Do I just cut off the strings that attach me to him, even if I really, really value our relationship?
Katherine Liriano does he know how you feel?
He does. We've discussed the matter plenty of times.
Life will not wait for you, even if through kindness and love you wait patiently for something to happen. This is not to say that you should rush into things nor cut ties but rather that you can take opportunities when your gut tells you to wait to pursue aspirations and dreams which will further YOU.
I'm fearful of sounding preachy as well and please know that my advice only comes from rad-inspired friendship and limited (but very similar) experience. You have the power to make the waiting period healthy and in doing this you can assess whether he might value the potential relationship as much as you do whilst holding no potential regrets as the time spent was self-productive.
I wish you all the best
You are definitely right. I'm trying to be more aware and take more control over my feelings and the situation overall. You didn't sound preachy at all, if anything, this is the type of thing I needed to hear so thank you so much for replying. I'd like to hear your experience or anyone else's, if anyone feels like sharing. Again, thank you.
This is such great advice Jack. Thanks for stepping in. I don't know if I could have said this better myself. I love seeing you guys chat with each other and help one another out. So cool to see
best wishes on the fundraiser. signed, someone who understands public health xo
xoxox thank you!!!
Hey, Carrie. What about mental health? This is probably being up front but do you see a counselor or have ever seen one? I am beginning to be at a point in my life where I am thinking that might be the next step. I am nervous and unsure about it. How do you recommend finding the right person for you? Thanks for being willing to talk to us! :)
I'm obviously not Carrie, but I think starting off doing research would the type of counselling you want is important. There's probably agencies in your hometown that have free counselling services or can direct you to places for counselling. It might be good to "shop around" for counsellors to see who you vibe best with.
I totally agree. It took me years to find a female counselor that I feel comfortable enough with to be open & honest. But going into it, I didn't think gender would matter. I think sometimes it's important to try out different people, because you're basically starting a relationship with them. So don't feel bad if you go for one session & don't want to go back. Just try someone else.
Thanks to you both!
This was very much needed for me in my relationship right now. Thanks Carrie!! Would love love more vids like this one:) one quick question if you have time to answer..
What do I do if me and my boyfriend have the same dreams and goals but argue with our different way of achieving them?
Love the way your hair looks ❤
Thank you!! xx
Can you tell something about your tattoo in the next Radtalk? I think it's a beautiful tattoo and I'm very interested in your story behind it. I love your youtube channel, keep up the good work!! :)
i would listen to you "preach" every single day of my life
+Marta Fraga Guntin
kind of think about Carrie as my best friend even if we've never met 😂
Ahh this makes me really happy to hear
looooved it 😍😘🌈🌼
thank you!!
I love your videos so much, Carrie!
I met a guy last month at this youth event thing who I have a massive crush on. He was so nice and kind and funny! I know I'll see him again as we're doing a course thing together over summer and he said he would go to the next event (which is in less than two weeks) but I feel like I'm going to get my hopes up. Maybe he won't be there in a couple of weeks, maybe he didn't like me or didn't feel anything. I've never been in a relationship before, nor have I ever been kissed - is that normal at 16? I'm so scared. I have huge trust issues too and I feel like I would be really vulnerable but this feeling inside of me is controlling my thoughts. I'm scared that if anything happens, I'll open up and he'll see all of my baggage and how broken I am after my dad dying last year and my best friend ditching me, resulting in me feeling so alone and shutting off from everyone as I don't fit in anywhere. I'm scared I'll open up, be happy and then get my heart broken. I have so many worries yet I still want to see what happens. I'm trying to find myself and find happiness again as I told myself I don't want to be in a relationship until I can love myself but this feeling excites me and makes me want to delve in and try. I feel like I'm over-thinking but just after meeting him and spending all night with this guy has made me feel something again. It's all 'ahhhhhhh' in my head. HELP!
xoxofearlessgirl Ok, this is so weird but I have a very similar situation to you! I just met a guy at a youth event recently too, I like him and I'm not sure but he seems kinda interested too, we just started talking today and I'm gonna see him again soon (in like 3 weeks) on another youth event. The problem is he's quite older than me and lives kinda far away (actually it's only like an hour or two away but it's in another country). I'm really not sure what to do about this if he actually likes me too, cause I don't think I'm ready for a relationship. I'm 16 too, btw. And I think it's totally fine, not very usual these days but I take relationships really seriously, and you should be proud of yourself for not rushing into anything. My advice is to stay focused on you and your dreams, school, cause that's what people like anyways. Get to know him well before starting anything and really think about it. Is he worth keeping? Does your current relationship with him (friendship) make you happy or drag you down? Take your time, we are still young and it's ok to still wait if you want to. Also don't be afraid of being vulnerable. I know it's hard and scary and I totally understand you, but when you open up to people you will see that they can actually help you and encourage you, even the people you did not expect that from. You just have to step up from your comfort zone. That's the only way to grow as a person. In life you will just have to do that, no matter how hard it might be. Vulnerability is something that I personaly found really comforting because when I started opening up to people I realized that they can actually help me. :) Report back, girl! I wanna hear your story. :)
OK I love this conversations here. Hotcocoa is totally right! It's incredible how great it can feel to open up to people. You guys are SO SMART! Honestly, at 26 I was nowhere near as cool and mature as you guys. I am so happy to see you guys helping each other out.
Carrie Rad aaaw I love you, Carrie! So glad you replied, I love your videos and your point of view on relationships and life so much!
Thank you so much for the advice! I hope everything works out with you too, I'm really interested! I'm glad that I'm not like other people I know as everyone always wants to be in a relationship just to be in one and I find that so pointless. If the time is right and you happen to meet someone then that's okay but SO many people don't take any meaning in a relationship. I'm such a hopeless romantic but at the same time I'm cynical about it from watching the world around me and how I hate too much PDA and annoying mushy messages 24/7 that my friends get. I wish I had this guy's number. I almost asked him for it but he left so quickly and I also chickened out. I'm determined to get it next time I see him and I really, really hope I see him at the next event thingymabob.
Good luck, have faith and don't rush anything ❤️
xoxofearlessgirl exactly! Oh my God I can't even believe how similar we are, we think alike so much, it's so funny! Do you want to stay in contact on instagram or facebook? I really wanna hear how it goes for you, and I really like that we think so much alike. :D
Carrie, I sent you a letter yesterday in the mail to your PO box!! I'm not sure when it'll get there since it's coming from Maryland, but when you do get it I hope you like it :) Love you!!
Julia!! Can't wait to get it!! :)
Hi Carrie! I've been a subbie for years and absolutely love you 💕 I was wondering if ever in your experiences with dating, have you scared yourself out of pursing relationships? I'm guilty of getting into committed relationships then talking myself out of them /: I hate how I do that but I'm constantly scared to not end up where I'm meant to be & not being happy with my life. I don't know ;(
I have been in a relationship for a year and never been jealous or insecure, but I'm getting really insecure at this point and I don't understand why. What should I do?
Love your nail color! What are you wearing? 😏
How do you not give up on your goals?
stay focused, motivated, and inspired.
gotta keep going, I know it's so hard sometimes.
but like if you spend a whoooole bunch of time with someone, and they have a girl friend but they basically treat you like you're another girl friend too?.....Like everyone we know and even people we don't know have asked if we're dating.
I obviously can not come as I live in the United kingdom, but if ppl outside of America can donate then i will be donating without a shadow of a doubt, find it shocking, disgusting and heartbreaking that they are no longer going to fund planned parenthood. so i will donate xx
UA-cam never shows my subscription videos why?
I don't know, so weird.
I hear this a lot.
Can you talk about creativity?
I'm just confused as to how you can say that you hate wasting your time (and in this context, someone else's time) more than anything in the world but also condone it? :/

Is there a a fuzzy weird sound in the video or is it just me??? I really wanna watch but it's seriously distracting!😩
Summer Denson I didn't notice it until you mentioned it but now I notice what your talking about
hmm maybe there is something up with my mic! I'll have to check it out!
i understand people want to raise money for this planned parenthood but abortions are killing HUMANS. It isnt the babies fault, it is the people who caused the baby to form fault. It is not fair to have babies lives taken because of someones stupid acts. I pray that people will open their eyes to come to realize that they are killing humans through abortion. How is that if someone kills a pregnant women it is charged for 2 murders but an abortion is not a murder??? explain that because those two things contradict themselves. anyways, thanks for the advice Carrie:)
You're going to get a lot of hate for this comment probably, but I completely agree with you. I understand that Planned Parenthood does many other things besides abortions, but I at least wish that people who support abortion didn't act like those who don't support it are ignorant and hateful towards women, as if supporting abortion is the only sound decision a person could come to.
yes! I know im definitely going to get hate but I felt compelled to stick up for whats right! God made these babies for a reason and it is so sad to hear about people being okay with killing a human being.
Planned Parenthood is not the only place people are able to get abortions.
There is a bigger picture here. This is about people in extremely vulnerable financial situations having access to health care. I respect you speaking your mind and doing it in a respectful manner
If there is any hate here, I will delete it. I believe in people respecting other points of views. Thanks for being respectful you guys! xx
I understand. Its just hard for me to see that a good percent of peoples usage of planned parenthood is for abortions:(
