Is anyone else a fan of the channel but maybe not typical for the community? I’m not religious, not a parent and don’t really want to be, value my career, and lean left yet I also value creating a beautiful home, being extremely feminine, making myself beautiful for my husband, classic aesthetics and traditional gender roles…I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere ☹️ but I appreciate that Caitlin makes everyone feel welcome on her channel ❤
I'm pretty sure there are many people here who don't align with everything she says 🙂 I live a different lifestyle as well. But I like her energy, her vlogs, practical beauty tips etc.
Me! I'm not religious (I do consider myself spiritual), definitely NOT traditional, don't have children (and probably never will), not right but also not left, I'm doing tarot readings which she probably wouldn't like at all...but I do like her and her content...she has good energy, like you said. ❤️
I.. sort of relate! I adore the traditional feminine homemaker role, but I also need to work because I financially support my old folks and I wouldn't want to put this burden on my husband.
Your comment about femininity as a mechanism for pulling you through difficult times, nurturing others but also nurturing yourself, really resonated with me. Many times in my adult life, through extremely difficult seasons, I have thought to myself that I have to "be my own mother now," as a way to motivate myself to take care and eat properly, clean up, be kind to myself etc. I thought it was strange, but apparently its not so unusual! Now that I have a baby I'm grateful to have had some practice through applying nurturing to myself and my husband before he came along.
What strikes me over and over is how intuitive you are. I admire you a lot because you are so quick to see what’s going on in your life and put yourself into ACTION, rather than just talk. You are who you say you are and you are so aware of yourself. Thats a very unique talent and I think what sets you apart from most people! I hope your channel keeps growing because I wish you would be an example for more women out there who always wished to have a sister like you❤
Wow thank you!!! I strive for this!! I never want to give advice I don’t follow, so taking time to rest and focus on my IRL stuff has been my focus and I’m always grateful you guys get that 😭❤️
I've been watching your content since I was 15 years old, I just turned 18 and I want to thank you for being an online big sister all these years💖 I don't usually comment, but I thought I'd let you know that you truly fueled my femininity journey! As I am growing into a young woman I can't help but be grateful for all the tips and advice you've passed on to me and all the other 204k beautiful people who are a part of this community! You unknowingly saved my girlhood💕 Your own journey inspires us all, and I am in complete awe of you! I used to be afraid of growing up, but thanks to you, I've grown to love the idea of womanhood! It excites me to the core to dream about all the amazing opportunities, experiences and journeys that await me as i grow into a lovely woman like you! Thank you so very much Caitlin! 💗💕💞💖💝🎀
Hi Caitlin, congratulations on the new home! You inspired me a few years ago to start my own femininity channel and it absolutely changed my life. Thank you so much for your presence on the internet. I really admire you. Merry Christmas!
I enjoy your channel and Mrs. Midwest. I am contemplating starting a channel because I am an older woman, 46. I have raised 4 children and have been happily married for 23 years. I feel like there could be a space for me. You both inspire me. Thank you. Love and blessings.
I’ve been watching you for a few years now and your channel has always been a staple for me, and now I’m 25 weeks pregnant with a boy! So somehow your channel is still very relevant in my life and I’m so excited for you hitting 200k congratulations 🥰🥳
“It’s not that it’s not my place, it’s just not my passion” ❤❤❤ I think that’s a key in finding joy - just realizing what your passion is and conserving as much energy for that as possible ☺️
Oh my gosh, I teared up with you every time. Caitlin, you are a bright light and I'm so thankful for the work you do and have done on this channel and the community you have built over these years. I relate in so many ways, femininity and God absolutely saved me from a super dark place too. I didn't grow up with role models like you so finding this community was such a God thing for me and I'm so thankful to Him for putting me here with you and all of these other sisters. May God bless you all during this beautiful Christmas season! 🫶🏽🕊️
It’s so nice to know that you guys care about my story and can relate. I’m so glad God has brought you through hard times dear and I pray we both continue toward joy!! ❤❤❤
I just started watching, but I wanted to say congrats on 200k. That is an amazing accomplishment and your content has impacted the lives of so many! ❤️☺️
I've watched both of you for several years (even though I'm old enough to be your mother). I just have to tell you, you two are MEANT to meet and be friends!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
I completely admire you Caitlin. Not only do you focus on the external actions to embrace a feminine identity, but you emphasize the source of this, which is the interior life. Your sharing of your interior struggles and what you focus on to combat them is encouraging and a breath of fresh air. It brings the idea of femininity to its truest form, which is embracing who we are as women created in the image and likeness of God, to love and to be loved
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to show us how to cope, as well as how to be strong in our femininity when the time calls for it. You’re amazing and your videos have truly changed my life recently as well. Sending lots of love and light your way. 🫶
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my first little baby boy as of yesterday. I’ve been watching you since I was 22 and feeling so lonely because no one else around me shared my values. Watching you was the first step to getting me here with a husband and a family, despite everyone around me telling me I was too young and not ready. Thank you ❤️
Congratulations on your baby beautiful!! I totally relate with seasons of loneliness. Sending all my love and prayer as you enter this new chapter !! ❤❤❤❤
I completely relate with logging off from energy draining activities, like internet controversy, conspiracies, etc. after becoming a mother. I realized that it's a matter of survival. Nurturing your household, child, self, and focusing on what we can control in our life rather than things that are meant to inspire fear.
That little section with you talking about being more open-minded towards other women and their birth stories, and being so encouraging towards those can't (or choose not to) approach motherhood in that very narrow and "traditional" way. I just thought it was so sweet and empowering, and I really hope your words reach the women who need to hear it because I have absolutely felt the same in terms of feeling judged. Your message was really inspiring and uplifting, so thank you. :)
As a fellow Christian Mama of almost 3, I just want to say that the amount of children we have/when we have them is so individual, and I believe, designed by God for each of us personally. The more I learn about God, the more I realize that He will either give our hearts a longing for something if it is right or a stupor of thought if something isn’t or isn’t right right now. I had 2 babies pretty much back to back as well, and my second had/still has tons of health issues. There was a time when we were in the thick of dealing with his issues that I wondered if I could actually handle more kids. This broke my heart because my longing was always to have many children if it was at all possible. And I felt very strongly that I had even had some experiences with some of my babies that haven’t been here earth-side yet. Time passed, and my son found a lot of healing and so did I from the trauma of a special needs newborn experience. And the longing in my heart or the lack of being content I guess in a way, was still there that I had more babies. Right as soon as I felt that, I got a very unexpected positive pregnancy test for our 3rd child. 😅 I’m sure there are many people who think we are crazy for having 3 kids in 3 1/2 years especially after having a child with many medical needs, but I could not care less because God is the one in charge of my life and not anyone else! All this rambling just to say, that God knows more than we do. Sometimes that journey is 8+ kids or sometimes it’s just 1 and done, and both are totally beautiful and designed specifically by him. There is no exact right way to have a family. And I think that feeling of being content with what you have is a very good sign you are listening to what God has in store for you right now, and that is so admirable! We should all follow the Holy Spirit more to guide us in our lives. 🥰
I appreciate your wisdom here so much!!! Thank you for taking the time to write out these thoughts and enlighten us. I absolutely agree with this and think is so valuable to remember each family is different and designed by God ❤
I discovered Laura Doyle’s book and podcast while reading your blog last year and it changed so much for my marriage! I am a happier, less tired and frustrated wife because of it. I can’t thank you enough. 💕
I got teary when you spoke so glowingly about your husband’s support and love for you after the birth of your child. I am one of the women lucky enough to have a man like that, so thank you for the reminder to be grateful for a GOOD man. Have a blessed Christmas with your family! 🎁❤️
I found your channel when I was unmarried with no kids and I feel like we’ve grown and evolved over time together. I’m about to be a mom of two and I have really enjoyed watching you mature and I love how your perspectives have changed throughout the years. Sending you all the love from Georgia❤️
I love that so many of us in this sphere were very passionate and a bit cringey about being a SAHM, homemaker, anti-feminist, etc...and now that we are moms, we just love being normal lol
I think it’s normal to be very passionate and radical in your early twenties (see college students lol) and as we grow older, we chill out. Still passionate about certain topics but bills gotta get paid now
Don’t be so quick to call your past self and povs cringe. You will change again so much, the world will change, you might find yourself having the same or even more different opinions in the future. Your feminine in a feminist world video wasn’t even that wild, it might not be you now, but it was pretty respectful. It’s okay to have your beliefs. You can have your beliefs without being mean (and you’ve been great about that) and without being fanatical or judgemental. If it wasn’t something sinful you did or said, don’t apologize, you might be different but that doesn’t mean you were wrong.
I love the “new” mom Mrs. Midwest (especially now that I’m a mom too) but OG controversial-topics-getting-people-pressed Mrs. Midwest is what reeled me in ❤
Me too! I wasn’t a mom when I first found her but now I am. I love the growth but also the original ‘controversial’ videos are what brought me in. It was so refreshing to find someone who thought like me but was saying it out loud! Made me a little sad to know she cringes at it now. I get it, but still
I really like your perspective especially about the "crunchy" lifestyle. It's good to remember that femininity and homemaking can be expressed in so many different ways
I've followed you for years now Caitlin and I find myself feeling more and more confused these days about my life. I've always loved your videos, and when you talked about softness today and how it brought you back joy I found myself tearing up. Sometimes I feel like I've been robbed of softness, though I love baking, femininity and keeping a nice, beautiful space and atmosphere. I have a hard time believing that I'd be able to find someone who makes me feel otherwise, even now it's such a sad thought I find myself choking up. Your chats bring me some hope though, thank you, much love to you and your family
So awesome. 2 boys is a beautiful family. And I absolutely believe it is more important to craft a loving home and giving the best to your kids vs. just having as many kids as possible. Giving them the best life and the most love, attention, and care is more than enough reason to have however many kids you and your husband chooses.
I’ve been following you for a long time and I’ve always watched your femininity and grace series (tips and how-to’s) might be fun for a video to look back and tell us things you’d advice against now or just do differently :)
I could just listen to you all day. I adore the way you speak and present yourself 🩷 growing up in a chaotic environment has left me with bad habits and attitudes but your channel is so healing and inspiring and gives me hope its possible to create a softer life for myself ☁️ thank you always for being here!
I started following you 2019 and one of my absolute favorite videos by you is “How to look feminine during winter” That video made me buy colorful winter jackets that I looked and felt/feel stunning in!❤️❤️ I can’t believe you were feeling the way you did back then. I loved how confident, intelligent and eloquent you were. You are absolutely one of my favorite UA-camrs. I have learned and changed so much through your channel. I’ve always loved femininity and beauty and your channel helped me manifest it. I’m so grateful for all the work you’ve put in this femininity education channel. God bless you, my beautiful sister!❤
it really is so much easier to do gentle parenting when they're young and little like yours it's when they get to about the age of 8 and up that that gentle parenting starts becoming a lot harder because they constantly want to push boundaries and especially for the people that don't provide any consequences to their children the children continue to do the same things over and over despite natural consequences. ❤
I’ve been following you for years and I resonate so much with your new perspectives! Especially after becoming a mom myself. Life is too short to idolize a picture perfect “natural” lifestyle. Homebirth or hospital birth- who cares! We are all worthy of our titles. ♥️ Thank YOU for being a breath of fresh air!
Absolutely fantastic! You're an inspiration. The exact kind of woman and mother I want to model after. I've been watching for years and will continue to watch. Thank you for everything you do! I'm a newly wed at 27 years old. I'm definitely going back over your old videos and refreshing my memory on your content. Thanks again! Keep being exactly who you are.
Omg Caitlin congrats on the 200k followers and the peaceful/conserving energy topic really resonated with me. My husband talks frequently about politics and negative topics surrounding that, and I don't want to sound like I'm shutting him up, but I'm really having a hard time with that. And thank you for being vulnerable and open with us! You are very wise.❤❤❤
I also have a hard time with this. There can be so much negativity in our daily lives or just everyday stressors. Sometimes the world's stress is just too much.
@@CoffeeMate-mu6ng absolutely. The key for me is staying in reality and realizing UA-camrs and influencers are real people with all different kinds of incomes and lifestyles. I have to be aware of the current state of the world at times just in case something big happens. I work at Walmart and my husband currently is unemployed, so times are tough but we make it work. As long as you keep peace in your heart and mind, you can succeed in life.
I resonate with so much of this!! Flirting and keeping in shape with your spouse, being grateful and expressing that to them, being grateful to others doing generous things for you, and definitely that becoming a mom made me less anxious! Very little phases me now because having 5 young kids! I definitely can’t control nearly everything, so I try to be rational and also mindful as a parent. I also feel like I need to do better for my kids than how I was raised, and there is no better feeling than noticing the difference between myself and my kids as children because of it!❤
I appreciate it that you made a choice to break the cycle and pain and hurt - hopefully in my personal life, I could also do that and keep myself in check.
Caitlin, I've been following your channel since 2019 and it's really had a big impact on me. You taught me that it's ok to be soft, creative, authentic and that I don't have to be a "boss lady" to be a happy woman. After having an overwhelming career as a high school teacher, I decided that I wanted to have a slower life and my husband is so supportive of that. I would have never been brave enough to make that choice if it weren't for this community you created! We appreciate you just as much as you do us. Blessings xoxo
Caitlin, thank you so much for your content over the years. I first watched your videos when I started dating my husband and he let me know he was into a more traditional lifestyle and feminine wife and I was out of my league and wanted that for my life but needed HELP. I started finding Christ right after that and you have been with me, a few steps ahead, though my whole journey into femininity, Christianity, and motherhood. You have shown me Christ through your life and guided me such a sisterly way from a distance and your videos have meant so much to me. Thanks ❤
Caitlin, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me over these past few years. I couldn't help but cry because I found your channel during such a similar dark season of my life involving estrangement. Thank you for your vulnerability and showing what true feminity is ❤❤❤
I love your channel sooo much. I’ve been watching you for many years. Watching you grow from stay at home wife to mom was truly incredible!!!! You are an inspiration and also different from the many other SAHM influencers. So I appreciate that and love that.
Honestly I can’t believe how shaming the home birth community actually was until you talked about it. Usually it’s the other way around! So many people push hospital births in my area because I live in the medical capitol of the world lol. From someone who had two home births I could honestly care less about where someone gives birth or how. I’m so sorry people who have had home births ever shamed women for not doing it. That is crazzzzyyy!!!! Honestly I’m more concerned about how people adjust into mother hood rather than where they gave birth. Everyone is different has different places they feel comfortable giving birth. It’s such a personal thing and my heart really goes out to people who feel shamed for where they want to birth there babies. That they have to push out of their OWN BODY! Sorry end of rant. I love you Caitlin!!!! Your content is so relatable and enjoyable
I loved this Q & A! Honestly, probably one of my favorites I've ever watched. I felt so encouraged throughout to pursue my own health and joy as a mother of 4 small children, just all of it - the marriage encouragement too. ❤️ Thank you, happy new year!
Hi, Caitlin, I’m a long time viewer, first time commenter. We have very different political/ religious views, but I wanted to say that I really respect you! I hope one day to have a loving family like yours. So glad you’re doing better now and are happy! :)
Mrs. Midwest I just would like to thank you for your wisdom in femininity and for your ability to share with us. It's because of your channel that I also found myself in a healing season and I fully understand the need we have in us to nurture ourselves in order to cope with the world ahead of us. I'm in 14 minutes of your video and I am praying to God that He will keep you still and shining in any aspects of your life. Thank you sister 💖
You've impacted my life so much! I started watching you in 2020 as a very single girl who was looking to become more feminine and cultivate natural beauty. Now I'm married and starting my career, but your videos mean as much to me now as they did then. You make me feel less lonely in a city where I know so few people
I love your videos Caitlin, especially your vlogs and these sitdowns! I imagine having my own kids and being a mom too. Your Christian Love and gentleness can be felt and you radiate peace. That's a beautiful way you can bless people. 😊 Lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦
200k!! Congratulations, thats amazing. ❤ Well deserved. Your content has been very inspiring to me personally, as I'm sure it has been for many others! Thank you for being here. 🥰
Happy 2024 Caitlin 🎉🎉🎉 and to your husband and those two sweethearted sons of yours. I'm late to this vid b/c my job had me running right into the new year (literally lol) but it's good to see how open and honest you are about how you changed from what you once were and who you are now. I saw the emotion in your eyes and I felt it while you were talking. Even after you stopped crying, the emotion was still there. What you have to understand is how important you have become to many of us. The niche you have created here can be your own, you don't have to subscribe to anyone else's version of "traditional living/lifestyle"; you can come up with your own version, which is basically what you're doing right now. You are very talented when it comes to imagery and storytelling-- that can be used in multiple ways b/c you are great at vlogging. Be your own brand and don't worry about others, even if they have something to say; ppl will talk no matter what Caitlin. I have my own journey that I'm on too and I've changed alot since I started watching your videos. The only difference is we have different circumstances, I'm not married yet and I don't have children (which bothers me, I can't lie but I've learned that if it's meant for me to be a wife and mother, it will happen, I can rush or force it and thats what I was trying to do but I ended screwing things up w/ the guy I wanted and confusing myself in the process. No matter what the biological clock says, I can't force anything, that's one matter lesson I had to learn in 2023. I live in the midwest too and whether you live in the lower peninsula or the upper peninsula, many areas can be isolating and you can feel alone so I completely understand where you were coming from when you spoke about that in the video. However, once you find an outlet to ppl, it makes you feel alive and you don't want to let that go. I understand that too. I look forward to seeing more content this year and I can't wait to see how you grow into the niche that you have and are creating for yourself and your online community💯💯💯
I’ve been a fan of you for a long time and have always loved your content. Even though your beliefs have changed, I’m still a major fan because you’re so mature and seem to genuinely want others to live a joyful and full life.
I have been watching you for years !! I’m so excited for you and the family. Thank you so much for making this community for all of us to come together and enjoy.
Dear Cait, I have watched you since the very first video and am old enough to be your mum. I have always, always appreciated how you stay true to yourself and allowed yourself to grow and evolve and focus on what is important to you, depending what season of life you are in. We are very different people but I love that difference, as your content still resonates with me and I will always click on your videos. Thank you for your authenticity, your generosity of spirit, your intelligence and your big, beautiful heart. May the next season of life allow you to flourish even further. Merry Christmas to you, Grant and the boys and many wonderful blessings for 2024. Much love from Australia xx
Congratulations on the new home!! It would be amazing if you could film a short home tour before you pack up. I've always loved your decorating style and would just be curious to see how you decorate and arrange furniture. xo
I can relate SO much to the first question about having more kids. I am currently pregnant with baby #2, and my husband has developed some health issues that opened my eyes to the life I currently have and how I don’t wish to have more, because we never know what could happen. Being pregnant with my last baby has made me emotional that I will never have these exciting times of finding out I’m pregnant, announcing, giving birth, etc., but also, everything has a season and it’s okay if that season has passed. ❤
I’m sorry your husband is having health issues. I know from a long personal experience that it is insanely stressful. I hope he finds relief soon if that’s possible ❤
Wow, this video came to me in such a good time, I’m working in corporate and just about to get married on this August. Was always stressing about the house chores-work balance while keeping a peaceful attitude towards my soon to be husband, felt like I was not feminine enough since I was working at the same time and not a successful homemaker. Always prayed to God to give me an answer out of all this heavy anxieties surrounding me. Hearing your thoughts and your rational look on those things really made me feel much more lighter! Love your mind Caitlin…Can’t say how much thankful I am to feel seen by you 🩷🩷🩷
I’m really happy you touched on the “crunchy mom” topic. I see this pipeline that you referred to and it’s almost like a specific outline I see so many moms follow.
Being the first born daughter in Asian working class family it was hard to be soft and feminine and take care of me because all i knew growing up was that i got to set example for my siblings, help parents stay afload and so on. Life was hard and my inner child is just looking for a way to heal and be her trully self. Its channel like yours that help me go through life. I needed a feminine sister who shows me how to navigate life with femininity and i found you ❤ I hope I'd end up with the right man that I could finally be a wife and mother someday, until then I enjoy life nurturing my femininity while watching your and other feminine energy content creators' contents ❤
So nice to see you again! I'm newly a stay at home mom and in this post partum period watching through your vlogs has been so fun just as a way to chill while the baby sleeps, it feels like catching up with a friend. I'm glad you're doing so well, and look forward to seeing how your life changes in 2024! Merry Christmas, lots of love
Hey Kaitlyn I love it that you take care of your own mental health first in order to nourish your children. I think that's what's lacking in our current societal climate - calm and happy people. I also wish to be calm, happy and healthy for people around me. Thanks for making these contents. Thank you so much for sharing your story of how femininity saved you! I believe nourishing my own femininity has helped me so much in my own life as well.
Caitlin, I’ve watched you since 2019 and have loved loved watching you grow and change ( and myself along side you!) you are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for your content❤️
Amen on the number of children! There are some families at our church that are very loudly anti-family planning but without any financial awareness or thoughtfulness about stewardship of the children they already have. It feels icky and legalistic and I'm always reminded of the Bible verse about planning the foundations of a tower before building. I do not care for it when it seems more of an idol / prideful thing and I appreciate your stance and your community being respectful of you. Two boys sounds lovely ❤️ Edit: big families are beautiful and we have lovely godly larg families at our church too 😊 it's when it feels forced on other I don't care for it
❤️❤️You sound so happy!Just finished the video. I am very happy for you, for your joy and your success. I have followed you since 2019 (maybe early 2020?), through heartbreak, healing that heartbreak, finding love for myself, finding love for my femininity and then falling in love with my wonderful man. I am grateful for your channel, for the fun videos, the sweet videos and the heartfelt videos too. Congratulations for your wonderful family, for the 200k followers and for your new house! ❤ Lots of love from France to you and to any women reading this comment.
Caitlin, thank you so much for create this community and share your wisdom with us. You changed my life for the best and I am forever grateful for your work ❤ May God Bless you and your family! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
Oh funny I was just rewatching some of your old videos because I was wanting some Mrs Midwest content and then you go and post! Thanks for sharing this Q&A with us, Caitlin Merry Christmas and God bless ❤️
Every time I watch a video of yours I’m so struck by how genuine, intuitive, and lovely you are. I’ve been a fan since you started and I teared up seeing you become emotional about what femininity has done for you. It’s such a special, incredible thing and I’m so grateful that you’ve made an amazing space online for that. I feel seen, connected, and inspired because of you. 🤍
I love how real you are. ❤🇦🇺 It's always like getting a little peptalk and I'm not alone. The conspiracy thing you said really hit me as I always see people I know get too involved in it and even I want to get away because I can feel it and it brings me stress sometimes, even though I am interested in some points, some peoples stress energy over it brings me down. Great point darling!
Loved everything you said especially about motherhood and being more of an attachment parent!! I’m probably 10 yrs older than you but you always have good advice
I’ve been watching you since your 20k subscriber Q and A! I started screaming at your life update and I’m so happy for you! Sending you a virtual helping hand! Don’t want to spoil it for anybody else!
I've been watching you for so long and I feel like I'm kind of in the place you were when you started your channel - married with a police husband. It seemed like back then you didn't have a robust social life, and right now I don't either. Can you talk about how you found friends who aligned with you and your lifestyle and how you've nurtured those friendships? ♡
I love your growth so much. I resonate with it on so many levels. Also, we share a lot of the same baby names. Julian and Clark were top contenders for me.
So beautiful! I’m so happy to grow in feminine sisterhood with you. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and I have a very similar story. I always knew I liked girly things but I didn’t really realize how connected to femininity it was and it’s more obvious and special these days especially when my generation likes to impose the narrative that gender is just a construct. For me it gives me a lot of purpose and I really love being a woman and embracing that side of myself. I felt it when you said femininity is nurturing and even if you didn’t experience enough of it from people in your life, you can give it to yourself. Found this channel at the end of a dark place and then I started searching for a Godly masculine husband and my life has improved drastically since I watched that first video in 2019.
Is anyone else a fan of the channel but maybe not typical for the community? I’m not religious, not a parent and don’t really want to be, value my career, and lean left yet I also value creating a beautiful home, being extremely feminine, making myself beautiful for my husband, classic aesthetics and traditional gender roles…I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere ☹️ but I appreciate that Caitlin makes everyone feel welcome on her channel ❤
I'm pretty sure there are many people here who don't align with everything she says 🙂 I live a different lifestyle as well. But I like her energy, her vlogs, practical beauty tips etc.
Me! I'm not religious (I do consider myself spiritual), definitely NOT traditional, don't have children (and probably never will), not right but also not left, I'm doing tarot readings which she probably wouldn't like at all...but I do like her and her content...she has good energy, like you said. ❤️
I.. sort of relate! I adore the traditional feminine homemaker role, but I also need to work because I financially support my old folks and I wouldn't want to put this burden on my husband.
I can relate!
Your comment about femininity as a mechanism for pulling you through difficult times, nurturing others but also nurturing yourself, really resonated with me. Many times in my adult life, through extremely difficult seasons, I have thought to myself that I have to "be my own mother now," as a way to motivate myself to take care and eat properly, clean up, be kind to myself etc. I thought it was strange, but apparently its not so unusual! Now that I have a baby I'm grateful to have had some practice through applying nurturing to myself and my husband before he came along.
What strikes me over and over is how intuitive you are. I admire you a lot because you are so quick to see what’s going on in your life and put yourself into ACTION, rather than just talk. You are who you say you are and you are so aware of yourself. Thats a very unique talent and I think what sets you apart from most people! I hope your channel keeps growing because I wish you would be an example for more women out there who always wished to have a sister like you❤
Wow thank you!!! I strive for this!! I never want to give advice I don’t follow, so taking time to rest and focus on my IRL stuff has been my focus and I’m always grateful you guys get that 😭❤️
I love that thought of conserving your energy for your children and homelife.
Yes!! Mom brain is a real thing around here. I can’t expend the power on other stuff 😅
hahahah that's what conservative men use as excuse to cheat. she probably was cheated during this time and that's her coping.
I've been watching your content since I was 15 years old, I just turned 18 and I want to thank you for being an online big sister all these years💖 I don't usually comment, but I thought I'd let you know that you truly fueled my femininity journey! As I am growing into a young woman I can't help but be grateful for all the tips and advice you've passed on to me and all the other 204k beautiful people who are a part of this community! You unknowingly saved my girlhood💕 Your own journey inspires us all, and I am in complete awe of you! I used to be afraid of growing up, but thanks to you, I've grown to love the idea of womanhood! It excites me to the core to dream about all the amazing opportunities, experiences and journeys that await me as i grow into a lovely woman like you! Thank you so very much Caitlin! 💗💕💞💖💝🎀
Hi Caitlin, congratulations on the new home! You inspired me a few years ago to start my own femininity channel and it absolutely changed my life. Thank you so much for your presence on the internet. I really admire you. Merry Christmas!
I just subscribed
I love you both Caitlin and Jasmyne!
An epic crossover 🥳❤️
I enjoy your channel and Mrs. Midwest. I am contemplating starting a channel because I am an older woman, 46. I have raised 4 children and have been happily married for 23 years. I feel like there could be a space for me. You both inspire me. Thank you. Love and blessings.
Love this!! Just subscribed!! ✨
"creating an environment where my kids can thrive." I love this :). Would love more videos on this and mom content in general :)
I’ve been watching you for a few years now and your channel has always been a staple for me, and now I’m 25 weeks pregnant with a boy! So somehow your channel is still very relevant in my life and I’m so excited for you hitting 200k congratulations 🥰🥳
That’s so special!! Congratulations my dear. I’m so excited for you!! 😊
“It’s not that it’s not my place, it’s just not my passion” ❤❤❤ I think that’s a key in finding joy - just realizing what your passion is and conserving as much energy for that as possible ☺️
Oh my gosh, I teared up with you every time. Caitlin, you are a bright light and I'm so thankful for the work you do and have done on this channel and the community you have built over these years. I relate in so many ways, femininity and God absolutely saved me from a super dark place too. I didn't grow up with role models like you so finding this community was such a God thing for me and I'm so thankful to Him for putting me here with you and all of these other sisters. May God bless you all during this beautiful Christmas season! 🫶🏽🕊️
It’s so nice to know that you guys care about my story and can relate. I’m so glad God has brought you through hard times dear and I pray we both continue toward joy!! ❤❤❤
I felt your tears, I feel what you meant, and I think you are so smart and with such a gut feeling about motherhood, which I share
I just started watching, but I wanted to say congrats on 200k. That is an amazing accomplishment and your content has impacted the lives of so many! ❤️☺️
Thank you Cynthia!!! Fellow content creators like you make it so much fun to be here 😊
I've watched both of you for several years (even though I'm old enough to be your mother). I just have to tell you, you two are MEANT to meet and be friends!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
I completely admire you Caitlin. Not only do you focus on the external actions to embrace a feminine identity, but you emphasize the source of this, which is the interior life. Your sharing of your interior struggles and what you focus on to combat them is encouraging and a breath of fresh air. It brings the idea of femininity to its truest form, which is embracing who we are as women created in the image and likeness of God, to love and to be loved
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to show us how to cope, as well as how to be strong in our femininity when the time calls for it. You’re amazing and your videos have truly changed my life recently as well. Sending lots of love and light your way. 🫶
This makes me so happy. Thank you for accepting me in all states and for being part of my online world my friend 😊😊😊
Love the idea of preserving my peace for my children that is going to be my new motto of 2024
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my first little baby boy as of yesterday. I’ve been watching you since I was 22 and feeling so lonely because no one else around me shared my values. Watching you was the first step to getting me here with a husband and a family, despite everyone around me telling me I was too young and not ready. Thank you ❤️
Congratulations on your baby beautiful!! I totally relate with seasons of loneliness. Sending all my love and prayer as you enter this new chapter !! ❤❤❤❤
I completely relate with logging off from energy draining activities, like internet controversy, conspiracies, etc. after becoming a mother. I realized that it's a matter of survival. Nurturing your household, child, self, and focusing on what we can control in our life rather than things that are meant to inspire fear.
That little section with you talking about being more open-minded towards other women and their birth stories, and being so encouraging towards those can't (or choose not to) approach motherhood in that very narrow and "traditional" way. I just thought it was so sweet and empowering, and I really hope your words reach the women who need to hear it because I have absolutely felt the same in terms of feeling judged. Your message was really inspiring and uplifting, so thank you. :)
As a fellow Christian Mama of almost 3, I just want to say that the amount of children we have/when we have them is so individual, and I believe, designed by God for each of us personally. The more I learn about God, the more I realize that He will either give our hearts a longing for something if it is right or a stupor of thought if something isn’t or isn’t right right now.
I had 2 babies pretty much back to back as well, and my second had/still has tons of health issues. There was a time when we were in the thick of dealing with his issues that I wondered if I could actually handle more kids. This broke my heart because my longing was always to have many children if it was at all possible. And I felt very strongly that I had even had some experiences with some of my babies that haven’t been here earth-side yet. Time passed, and my son found a lot of healing and so did I from the trauma of a special needs newborn experience. And the longing in my heart or the lack of being content I guess in a way, was still there that I had more babies. Right as soon as I felt that, I got a very unexpected positive pregnancy test for our 3rd child. 😅 I’m sure there are many people who think we are crazy for having 3 kids in 3 1/2 years especially after having a child with many medical needs, but I could not care less because God is the one in charge of my life and not anyone else!
All this rambling just to say, that God knows more than we do. Sometimes that journey is 8+ kids or sometimes it’s just 1 and done, and both are totally beautiful and designed specifically by him. There is no exact right way to have a family. And I think that feeling of being content with what you have is a very good sign you are listening to what God has in store for you right now, and that is so admirable! We should all follow the Holy Spirit more to guide us in our lives. 🥰
Don't forget the birds and the bees though. Whether you want more or not it is always possible if you do the deed.
I appreciate your wisdom here so much!!! Thank you for taking the time to write out these thoughts and enlighten us. I absolutely agree with this and think is so valuable to remember each family is different and designed by God ❤
@septembermorford6151 So beautifully said. Thank you!
Congrats on 200k Caitlin! This channel has provided so much value and comfort for so many of us. Myself included!
Thank you darling!!!! I’m so grateful for your support and happy to see your channel thriving too. It’s so exciting ❤❤❤❤
I discovered Laura Doyle’s book and podcast while reading your blog last year and it changed so much for my marriage! I am a happier, less tired and frustrated wife because of it. I can’t thank you enough. 💕
I totally relate to feeling less tired 😂😂😂 guess we’re just not stressing ourselves out anymore! 😊
I got teary when you spoke so glowingly about your husband’s support and love for you after the birth of your child. I am one of the women lucky enough to have a man like that, so thank you for the reminder to be grateful for a GOOD man. Have a blessed Christmas with your family! 🎁❤️
In the words of my mother in law, ( who had 9 children!)
Having children is a deeply personal decision .
❤
Amen to this!!
I found your channel when I was unmarried with no kids and I feel like we’ve grown and evolved over time together. I’m about to be a mom of two and I have really enjoyed watching you mature and I love how your perspectives have changed throughout the years. Sending you all the love from Georgia❤️
You have grown so much. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow thank you!! That makes me happy. I always want to be maturing 😊
I love that so many of us in this sphere were very passionate and a bit cringey about being a SAHM, homemaker, anti-feminist, etc...and now that we are moms, we just love being normal lol
I think it’s normal to be very passionate and radical in your early twenties (see college students lol) and as we grow older, we chill out. Still passionate about certain topics but bills gotta get paid now
Hahahah yes. When we mature we still hold a lot of the same beliefs but we’re less rabid about it because it’s not like a new discovery for us 😂
I’m not Christian and I’m a lot older than you, from a different part of the world…but you have been a huge inspiration into my femininity journey!! ❤
Don’t be so quick to call your past self and povs cringe. You will change again so much, the world will change, you might find yourself having the same or even more different opinions in the future. Your feminine in a feminist world video wasn’t even that wild, it might not be you now, but it was pretty respectful. It’s okay to have your beliefs. You can have your beliefs without being mean (and you’ve been great about that) and without being fanatical or judgemental. If it wasn’t something sinful you did or said, don’t apologize, you might be different but that doesn’t mean you were wrong.
I love the “new” mom Mrs. Midwest (especially now that I’m a mom too) but OG controversial-topics-getting-people-pressed Mrs. Midwest is what reeled me in ❤
Me too! I wasn’t a mom when I first found her but now I am. I love the growth but also the original ‘controversial’ videos are what brought me in. It was so refreshing to find someone who thought like me but was saying it out loud! Made me a little sad to know she cringes at it now. I get it, but still
I gotta get her back some day!! ❤❤❤
I really like your perspective especially about the "crunchy" lifestyle. It's good to remember that femininity and homemaking can be expressed in so many different ways
I've followed you for years now Caitlin and I find myself feeling more and more confused these days about my life. I've always loved your videos, and when you talked about softness today and how it brought you back joy I found myself tearing up. Sometimes I feel like I've been robbed of softness, though I love baking, femininity and keeping a nice, beautiful space and atmosphere. I have a hard time believing that I'd be able to find someone who makes me feel otherwise, even now it's such a sad thought I find myself choking up. Your chats bring me some hope though, thank you, much love to you and your family
your channel helped me overcome depression and anxiety in 2021. thank you for that.
So awesome. 2 boys is a beautiful family. And I absolutely believe it is more important to craft a loving home and giving the best to your kids vs. just having as many kids as possible. Giving them the best life and the most love, attention, and care is more than enough reason to have however many kids you and your husband chooses.
I’ve been following you for a long time and I’ve always watched your femininity and grace series (tips and how-to’s) might be fun for a video to look back and tell us things you’d advice against now or just do differently :)
We would love more videos on focusing on the fruits of the spirit and keeping a peaceful home for the children!
I could just listen to you all day. I adore the way you speak and present yourself 🩷 growing up in a chaotic environment has left me with bad habits and attitudes but your channel is so healing and inspiring and gives me hope its possible to create a softer life for myself ☁️ thank you always for being here!
Absolutely love the rawness of this video! We see eye to eye on literally like everything and it’s so refreshing! 💕
I started following you 2019 and one of my absolute favorite videos by you is “How to look feminine during winter” That video made me buy colorful winter jackets that I looked and felt/feel stunning in!❤️❤️
I can’t believe you were feeling the way you did back then. I loved how confident, intelligent and eloquent you were.
You are absolutely one of my favorite UA-camrs. I have learned and changed so much through your channel. I’ve always loved femininity and beauty and your channel helped me manifest it. I’m so grateful for all the work you’ve put in this femininity education channel. God bless you, my beautiful sister!❤
it really is so much easier to do gentle parenting when they're young and little like yours it's when they get to about the age of 8 and up that that gentle parenting starts becoming a lot harder because they constantly want to push boundaries and especially for the people that don't provide any consequences to their children the children continue to do the same things over and over despite natural consequences.
❤
I’ve been following you for years and I resonate so much with your new perspectives! Especially after becoming a mom myself. Life is too short to idolize a picture perfect “natural” lifestyle. Homebirth or hospital birth- who cares! We are all worthy of our titles. ♥️ Thank YOU for being a breath of fresh air!
Could you do a house tour of the house you live in now that you’re leaving? Love your cheerful interior design style!
Absolutely fantastic! You're an inspiration. The exact kind of woman and mother I want to model after. I've been watching for years and will continue to watch. Thank you for everything you do! I'm a newly wed at 27 years old. I'm definitely going back over your old videos and refreshing my memory on your content. Thanks again! Keep being exactly who you are.
Omg Caitlin congrats on the 200k followers and the peaceful/conserving energy topic really resonated with me. My husband talks frequently about politics and negative topics surrounding that, and I don't want to sound like I'm shutting him up, but I'm really having a hard time with that. And thank you for being vulnerable and open with us! You are very wise.❤❤❤
I also have a hard time with this. There can be so much negativity in our daily lives or just everyday stressors. Sometimes the world's stress is just too much.
@@CoffeeMate-mu6ng absolutely. The key for me is staying in reality and realizing UA-camrs and influencers are real people with all different kinds of incomes and lifestyles. I have to be aware of the current state of the world at times just in case something big happens. I work at Walmart and my husband currently is unemployed, so times are tough but we make it work. As long as you keep peace in your heart and mind, you can succeed in life.
I resonate with so much of this!! Flirting and keeping in shape with your spouse, being grateful and expressing that to them, being grateful to others doing generous things for you, and definitely that becoming a mom made me less anxious! Very little phases me now because having 5 young kids! I definitely can’t control nearly everything, so I try to be rational and also mindful as a parent.
I also feel like I need to do better for my kids than how I was raised, and there is no better feeling than noticing the difference between myself and my kids as children because of it!❤
I appreciate it that you made a choice to break the cycle and pain and hurt - hopefully in my personal life, I could also do that and keep myself in check.
Caitlin, I've been following your channel since 2019 and it's really had a big impact on me. You taught me that it's ok to be soft, creative, authentic and that I don't have to be a "boss lady" to be a happy woman. After having an overwhelming career as a high school teacher, I decided that I wanted to have a slower life and my husband is so supportive of that. I would have never been brave enough to make that choice if it weren't for this community you created! We appreciate you just as much as you do us. Blessings xoxo
You seem so happy and peaceful, I am so glad for you ❤
This video meant so much to me. I cried like 5-6 times during it. So excited for your family in your new home.
Stop you’re so sweet 😭😭😭
Caitlin, thank you so much for your content over the years. I first watched your videos when I started dating my husband and he let me know he was into a more traditional lifestyle and feminine wife and I was out of my league and wanted that for my life but needed HELP. I started finding Christ right after that and you have been with me, a few steps ahead, though my whole journey into femininity, Christianity, and motherhood. You have shown me Christ through your life and guided me such a sisterly way from a distance and your videos have meant so much to me. Thanks ❤
Caitlin, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me over these past few years. I couldn't help but cry because I found your channel during such a similar dark season of my life involving estrangement. Thank you for your vulnerability and showing what true feminity is ❤❤❤
I love your channel sooo much. I’ve been watching you for many years. Watching you grow from stay at home wife to mom was truly incredible!!!! You are an inspiration and also different from the many other SAHM influencers. So I appreciate that and love that.
Honestly I can’t believe how shaming the home birth community actually was until you talked about it. Usually it’s the other way around! So many people push hospital births in my area because I live in the medical capitol of the world lol. From someone who had two home births I could honestly care less about where someone gives birth or how. I’m so sorry people who have had home births ever shamed women for not doing it. That is crazzzzyyy!!!! Honestly I’m more concerned about how people adjust into mother hood rather than where they gave birth. Everyone is different has different places they feel comfortable giving birth. It’s such a personal thing and my heart really goes out to people who feel shamed for where they want to birth there babies. That they have to push out of their OWN BODY! Sorry end of rant. I love you Caitlin!!!! Your content is so relatable and enjoyable
I loved this Q & A! Honestly, probably one of my favorites I've ever watched. I felt so encouraged throughout to pursue my own health and joy as a mother of 4 small children, just all of it - the marriage encouragement too. ❤️ Thank you, happy new year!
Hi, Caitlin, I’m a long time viewer, first time commenter. We have very different political/ religious views, but I wanted to say that I really respect you! I hope one day to have a loving family like yours. So glad you’re doing better now and are happy! :)
Mrs. Midwest I just would like to thank you for your wisdom in femininity and for your ability to share with us. It's because of your channel that I also found myself in a healing season and I fully understand the need we have in us to nurture ourselves in order to cope with the world ahead of us. I'm in 14 minutes of your video and I am praying to God that He will keep you still and shining in any aspects of your life. Thank you sister 💖
You've impacted my life so much! I started watching you in 2020 as a very single girl who was looking to become more feminine and cultivate natural beauty. Now I'm married and starting my career, but your videos mean as much to me now as they did then. You make me feel less lonely in a city where I know so few people
I love your videos Caitlin, especially your vlogs and these sitdowns! I imagine having my own kids and being a mom too. Your Christian Love and gentleness can be felt and you radiate peace. That's a beautiful way you can bless people. 😊 Lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦
200k!! Congratulations, thats amazing. ❤ Well deserved. Your content has been very inspiring to me personally, as I'm sure it has been for many others! Thank you for being here. 🥰
Happy 2024 Caitlin 🎉🎉🎉 and to your husband and those two sweethearted sons of yours. I'm late to this vid b/c my job had me running right into the new year (literally lol) but it's good to see how open and honest you are about how you changed from what you once were and who you are now. I saw the emotion in your eyes and I felt it while you were talking. Even after you stopped crying, the emotion was still there. What you have to understand is how important you have become to many of us. The niche you have created here can be your own, you don't have to subscribe to anyone else's version of "traditional living/lifestyle"; you can come up with your own version, which is basically what you're doing right now. You are very talented when it comes to imagery and storytelling-- that can be used in multiple ways b/c you are great at vlogging. Be your own brand and don't worry about others, even if they have something to say; ppl will talk no matter what Caitlin.
I have my own journey that I'm on too and I've changed alot since I started watching your videos. The only difference is we have different circumstances, I'm not married yet and I don't have children (which bothers me, I can't lie but I've learned that if it's meant for me to be a wife and mother, it will happen, I can rush or force it and thats what I was trying to do but I ended screwing things up w/ the guy I wanted and confusing myself in the process. No matter what the biological clock says, I can't force anything, that's one matter lesson I had to learn in 2023.
I live in the midwest too and whether you live in the lower peninsula or the upper peninsula, many areas can be isolating and you can feel alone so I completely understand where you were coming from when you spoke about that in the video. However, once you find an outlet to ppl, it makes you feel alive and you don't want to let that go. I understand that too.
I look forward to seeing more content this year and I can't wait to see how you grow into the niche that you have and are creating for yourself and your online community💯💯💯
I’ve been a fan of you for a long time and have always loved your content. Even though your beliefs have changed, I’m still a major fan because you’re so mature and seem to genuinely want others to live a joyful and full life.
I have been watching you for years !! I’m so excited for you and the family. Thank you so much for making this community for all of us to come together and enjoy.
I agree with going dutch! Ive paid for myself when i KNEW that there wasnt going to be another date.
So good to see you again ❤
Dear Cait, I have watched you since the very first video and am old enough to be your mum. I have always, always appreciated how you stay true to yourself and allowed yourself to grow and evolve and focus on what is important to you, depending what season of life you are in. We are very different people but I love that difference, as your content still resonates with me and I will always click on your videos. Thank you for your authenticity, your generosity of spirit, your intelligence and your big, beautiful heart. May the next season of life allow you to flourish even further. Merry Christmas to you, Grant and the boys and many wonderful blessings for 2024. Much love from Australia xx
you honestly seem like a really great mom. your kids are lucky to have you (and vice versa, i'm sure)!
Congratulations on the new home!! It would be amazing if you could film a short home tour before you pack up. I've always loved your decorating style and would just be curious to see how you decorate and arrange furniture. xo
I can relate SO much to the first question about having more kids. I am currently pregnant with baby #2, and my husband has developed some health issues that opened my eyes to the life I currently have and how I don’t wish to have more, because we never know what could happen. Being pregnant with my last baby has made me emotional that I will never have these exciting times of finding out I’m pregnant, announcing, giving birth, etc., but also, everything has a season and it’s okay if that season has passed. ❤
I’m sorry your husband is having health issues. I know from a long personal experience that it is insanely stressful. I hope he finds relief soon if that’s possible ❤
Wow, this video came to me in such a good time, I’m working in corporate and just about to get married on this August. Was always stressing about the house chores-work balance while keeping a peaceful attitude towards my soon to be husband, felt like I was not feminine enough since I was working at the same time and not a successful homemaker. Always prayed to God to give me an answer out of all this heavy anxieties surrounding me. Hearing your thoughts and your rational look on those things really made me feel much more lighter! Love your mind Caitlin…Can’t say how much thankful I am to feel seen by you 🩷🩷🩷
I’m really happy you touched on the “crunchy mom” topic. I see this pipeline that you referred to and it’s almost like a specific outline I see so many moms follow.
Being the first born daughter in Asian working class family it was hard to be soft and feminine and take care of me because all i knew growing up was that i got to set example for my siblings, help parents stay afload and so on. Life was hard and my inner child is just looking for a way to heal and be her trully self.
Its channel like yours that help me go through life. I needed a feminine sister who shows me how to navigate life with femininity and i found you ❤ I hope I'd end up with the right man that I could finally be a wife and mother someday, until then I enjoy life nurturing my femininity while watching your and other feminine energy content creators' contents ❤
So nice to see you again! I'm newly a stay at home mom and in this post partum period watching through your vlogs has been so fun just as a way to chill while the baby sleeps, it feels like catching up with a friend. I'm glad you're doing so well, and look forward to seeing how your life changes in 2024! Merry Christmas, lots of love
Hey Kaitlyn I love it that you take care of your own mental health first in order to nourish your children. I think that's what's lacking in our current societal climate - calm and happy people. I also wish to be calm, happy and healthy for people around me. Thanks for making these contents. Thank you so much for sharing your story of how femininity saved you! I believe nourishing my own femininity has helped me so much in my own life as well.
Caitlin, I’ve watched you since 2019 and have loved loved watching you grow and change ( and myself along side you!) you are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for your content❤️
Been here since 2019. And loved you ever since. Nothing changed except for the amount of your amazingness✨
Love your content! You seriously brought me to femininity & Christianity! Looking forward to watching ~ Merry Christmas 💞
That’s incredible!! I’m so happy we have UA-cam to connect us all ❤❤❤❤ merry Christmas dear!!
Amen on the number of children! There are some families at our church that are very loudly anti-family planning but without any financial awareness or thoughtfulness about stewardship of the children they already have. It feels icky and legalistic and I'm always reminded of the Bible verse about planning the foundations of a tower before building. I do not care for it when it seems more of an idol / prideful thing and I appreciate your stance and your community being respectful of you. Two boys sounds lovely ❤️
Edit: big families are beautiful and we have lovely godly larg families at our church too 😊 it's when it feels forced on other I don't care for it
This!
I also love how you’ve grown. I hope to be more like you one day!! You’re awesome !!
Ahhh thank you Tori!!! I can only hope to keep going 😊
You always motivate me to be my best version of myself. Thank you for everything over the years Caitlin! 💕
So excited! I’ve been waiting for this! 🎉 Congrats on 200k!!
Your viewpoint on motherhood and femininity is so inspiring! thank you for your content❤ and congratulations on the new house, can’t wait for a tour!!
caitlyn you're so incredibly beautifull!! real disney princess
Congratulations on your new update!! ☺️ how exciting! 🥰 can’t wait to see all of your new videos this upcoming year! Love your content☺️
❤️❤️You sound so happy!Just finished the video.
I am very happy for you, for your joy and your success. I have followed you since 2019 (maybe early 2020?), through heartbreak, healing that heartbreak, finding love for myself, finding love for my femininity and then falling in love with my wonderful man. I am grateful for your channel, for the fun videos, the sweet videos and the heartfelt videos too.
Congratulations for your wonderful family, for the 200k followers and for your new house! ❤
Lots of love from France to you and to any women reading this comment.
Caitlin, thank you so much for create this community and share your wisdom with us. You changed my life for the best and I am forever grateful for your work ❤ May God Bless you and your family! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
Oh funny I was just rewatching some of your old videos because I was wanting some Mrs Midwest content and then you go and post! Thanks for sharing this Q&A with us, Caitlin
Merry Christmas and God bless ❤️
So much love to you ❤
You are such a genuine presence on YT
Every time I watch a video of yours I’m so struck by how genuine, intuitive, and lovely you are. I’ve been a fan since you started and I teared up seeing you become emotional about what femininity has done for you. It’s such a special, incredible thing and I’m so grateful that you’ve made an amazing space online for that. I feel seen, connected, and inspired because of you. 🤍
Such exciting news, what a blessing! 💕
I love how real you are. ❤🇦🇺 It's always like getting a little peptalk and I'm not alone. The conspiracy thing you said really hit me as I always see people I know get too involved in it and even I want to get away because I can feel it and it brings me stress sometimes, even though I am interested in some points, some peoples stress energy over it brings me down. Great point darling!
Loved everything you said especially about motherhood and being more of an attachment parent!! I’m probably 10 yrs older than you but you always have good advice
your evolution is amazing to watch! love this video.
I’ve been watching you since your 20k subscriber Q and A! I started screaming at your life update and I’m so happy for you! Sending you a virtual helping hand! Don’t want to spoil it for anybody else!
you are a breath of fresh air. been here since the beginning
I've been watching you for so long and I feel like I'm kind of in the place you were when you started your channel - married with a police husband. It seemed like back then you didn't have a robust social life, and right now I don't either. Can you talk about how you found friends who aligned with you and your lifestyle and how you've nurtured those friendships? ♡
World love more videos with your take on creating good and nurturing environments for your kids ❤
this is great! sound wisdom and such godly advice! I love all the motherhood advice!
I love your growth so much. I resonate with it on so many levels. Also, we share a lot of the same baby names. Julian and Clark were top contenders for me.
Miss you Mrs.Midwest
Ahhh!! Let’s see the new place!!! Congrats!!
You're a great role model. I could listen to you for hours. Happy 2024 to you and your family❤
1. I loved this video!!!! Thank you for sharing your heart 🫶🏻 2. I can’t believe you’re moving!!!🥹😭 how exciting!!! Congratulations 🎉☺️🙏🏻🙌🏻
Dog killer 😒
@@nikki-qb7iq you’re fun
So beautiful! I’m so happy to grow in feminine sisterhood with you. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and I have a very similar story. I always knew I liked girly things but I didn’t really realize how connected to femininity it was and it’s more obvious and special these days especially when my generation likes to impose the narrative that gender is just a construct. For me it gives me a lot of purpose and I really love being a woman and embracing that side of myself. I felt it when you said femininity is nurturing and even if you didn’t experience enough of it from people in your life, you can give it to yourself. Found this channel at the end of a dark place and then I started searching for a Godly masculine husband and my life has improved drastically since I watched that first video in 2019.
