Please check your legs/clothes and Ben's body everytime you go back inside... countryside and ticks it's the real nightmare. To avoid spiders, just spray some water mixed with tea tree oil on the outside of your doors/windows, they will stay away. I used the same method inside inside my home, not nice for you for a while, but it works!
I love your real vulnerability with the bugs. One of my favorite parts it made me, smile and laugh knowing I’m not alone feeling this way; since I have similar stories.
I've seen so many UA-camr's gradually become less and less genuine over the years and I recently had to unsubscribe from several channels because the videos didn't make me feel good anymore. However, you just keep getting more and more real and it's so inspiring to see how you've become more true to yourself over the years. Your videos always make me feel good and you always motivate me. I'm older than you but I feel like you have a lot of wisdom and you are someone to look up to. My question - I know a lot of women, myself included, struggle being home alone especially living in a rural setting. I don't live alone but my anxiety goes through the roof when I'm home alone for a night or two (probably from watching/listening to waaaay too much true crime). Is this something you had to deal with when moving into your new house and if so, how did you overcome any fears or anxieties you had? PS. I cannot with that spider!! So freaking horrifying! No, just no.
When you were talking about your boyfriend helping you and said “ugh, I can do it”...I felt that. Like fully capable of doing things myself, but also help is nice and definitely appreciated 😂
I would LOVE to hear about how you've been diversifying your sources of income! Between the revenue for the channels, your merch and books, the membership, etc. I'd be fascinated to hear about those things!
Also: this video was the most authentic video i’ve felt of yours. like i genuinely felt like i was sitting across from you just sipping a tea with you. i’m so thankful for your realism, your highs and lows, your down to earth talks, everything. Your community has given me so much life. Thank you Kalyn!
i would love a quick update on the books you've been reading and loving. Also, which books are on your reading list right now, very curious :) sending you so much love and spring vibes from Belgium xx
I love how authentic you are (you could have edited out the parts of being scared by that mosquito and you didn't 😄) and how much it feels like you are my big sister. I started watching your videos quite a while ago and have seen how much has changed for you. I agree that coach sounds weird, maybe you could call yourself a "Life Advisor" ? My questions is: How did you learn to wait for the things you were manifesting/ do you have any tips for the wait period? Thanks Kalyn
Maybe to not spend time waiting. That would mean that you focus on the actual absence of whatever you want to manifest. Go with the flow, focus on everything that is already there, be grateful for it. You will pull more things to be grateful for into your life.
🐜 🕷 🐛 🪲🐞🪰🦗🦟🪳 please let the authentic reactions never leave us 🙏 😂 ♥️ I had camel crickets when we moved in but cats moved in too … I don’t have camel crickets anymore!
Random tip for watering your plants. Never on the leaves, because they can get severe sun burns due to the water droplets on the leaves. It is better do water them (each plant 10-15 sec. underneath their leaves. :)
Q&A: How is your general feeling about your relationship with your boyfriend? You've changed so much (as every one does) throughout the years and i was wondering how you felt about this "new" partner in the new chapter of your life? I hope for you he's a keeper and brings happiness in your life 🤍 I really enjoy your content, keep up the good work! Sending you love from Québec 🤍
You talking to Bentley in the jeep, sooo cute! I would love know more about Bentley, how hes adjusting to such a different larger space. How you trained him that sort of this. Ive got a 2 year old boston terrier and I'm always so nervous having him running around like if something were to happen to him
Q&A: Do you still plan on writing another Catcher book? (Coming from a place of love, here. Just did a re-read) It seems like you've grown so much since the first one, the characters would be very different.
I'd love to just catch up on life, like old friends! How has life been after Bali, and your last year in Toronto in such strange circumstances? How was the in between period AirBnB-hopping? How is Larissa doing? Have been loving the membership program and all of this year's content, so happy to have you back and feel reconnected again! :)
I wrote in my journal today "I might not watched all of Kalyn's vlogs but whenever I'm back to her channel, I feel like a part of me is back to me too" and I suppose what is written in a journal is true. I love you and your vlogs is my place to feel love and passion again. I love seeing you growing and achieving your dreams. I can't explain but I really wish you the best :( ❤❤❤
I loved this vlog so much! I've got a question for the q&a: Could you maybe talk about long distance friendships? I want to eventually move to the country side as well but I'm a bit scared of feeling isolated because that means leaving most of my friends. I love living on my own right now but that has a lot to do with living close to my friends. How have you been feeling about moving away from your friends?
I am CACKLING at the bug reactions... omg. I am proud of how far you've come in all of your life journies! I have been watching your videos for a long time and have felt like i've grown beside you, even though we don't know each other! Thankful for your honesty and vulnerability and wishing you the best as you continue.
Q/A: how do you learn how to become happy alone. I always get sad, unmotivated and slightly depressed when I am alone for even just half a day. I seem to depend on others for happiness, a little too much? I am just so social, and I crave human interactions. But I also long to be alone, in the woods, in a cabin with nothing to do. How can I find that balance?
As a certified life coach myself, I want to share that technically, coaching is not telling people what to do or even suggesting it. It’s rooted in the belief that the client knows what is best for them (even if they feel they currently don’t have clarity), and that the coach’s job is to help them come to their own answers. Often consulting or mentoring is used in the process, but coaching in its purest form is a lot about asking questions and helping clients come to their own conclusions. Co-creating game plans vs. providing them. Just wanted to share because there’s a lot of misconceptions about the coaching industry. I can totally see you being a great coach/consultant/guide/mentor/all of the above! :) It’s not 100% necessary , but if you are ever looking for a coaching school, I went to iPec (one of the top accredited schools) and loved it. Anyway, SO excited to see where your journey takes you. You already help so many (including me) just by being you, doing the work, and showing up authentically. ☺️💕✨
Questions: 1. Tell me everything new 2. Do you feel like your career change has brought you new and more authentic joy? 3. Do you miss toronto? 4. What inspires you these days?
We can all just feel your authenticity at every moment Kalyn and it’s is SOO appreciated ❤️we need more people like you in this online space and the world! Much love 💖💖✨✨✨
I love that you talked about your boyfriend helping you with the garden and then caught yourself and where like... no I got this! I remember watching you when you were single and being so inspired by how much you were able to do completely on your own (buying a house, moving out of Toronto, etc). You are SO brave Kalyn! At the same time it's also nice to have a significant other and them being able to help you with things, and that's totally fine too! :)
when you speak of changes, it only reminds me of how I evolved with you. I loved that for us. We grew together and became amazing people. When people ask me of my past and my transition, you are very much an important part of that. I think that's amazing. I'm so here for us to grow together
I love that! Watching you be natural and relaxed and "real" is always great fun. Even what you said in one of your previous videos about not caring so much about how you look on camera all the time. I can imagine the need to look perfect all the time but it is so much more relatable and helps so much to see you in daily clothes going about your day and yes maybe not looking supermodel perfect while doing yardwork or watering your garden and the hose breaks down 😂. I'm like, "okay no one looks made up and ready for the runway 24/7" which I already know, but seeing you making a point to include these real moments is so comforting and brave. I feel like there is this internal pressure to look good no matter what we're doing, even when we are alone, like it's all a performance and there is an audience. I've been trying to change that in myself and focus on what I'm doing instead of what I look like while doing it and if I'm pretty etc. I hope it makes sense even a little bit, I just love you being comfortable 🥺
The other day I was watching old videos from 2017, trying to find out when you took the tarot and is there any information on how you started with them, and oh my god, how much you have changed, somewhere since 2018 you can see a change, for the better of course, how much you're calmer, more natural and you ... I'm really happy for you! Q&A: 1. Are you happy where you are, now that some time has passed (I mean the house and the wilderness around you)? Because I want more and more to leave the city, and go somewhere where it's peaceful and there is no crowd and hustle and bustle, but only nature, but I wonder if that's really it, now that I see you afraid of spiders, and how many there are, I would literally die, I couldn't sleep, thinking they were crawling around me all the time... Do you miss the city? 2. Regarding tarot, I tried to find it, but I didn't succeed .. It would be nice to make a video about tarot. How did you start, did you sleep with them as I read somewhere that you should... What deck you recomend for beginners? 3. Books. Of course! Could some update :)
Kalyn you are so amazing 😊- you really motivate me. Your house is stunning - just so beautiful 😍 Q&A: could you do a talk about self discipline and also maybe a coffee talk about holistic therapies like reiki and past lives etc. 😀
Omg I CRACKED up watching your reaction to the spider in the yoga video! It was so real and how I would have reacted😂 Also quick appreciation! Thankyou for doing what you do. It’s a Saturday morning, I’m sipping my coffee. And I just feel motivated, inspired and ready to take on the day! Thankyou💜
No disrespect intended, planting a garden is the most down to earth thing I've ever seen you do. I love it and I'm proud of you. You're gonna love the rewards of your efforts.
that white hydrangea you have in your yard is GORGEOUS! a lot of times they take years to bloom or they never do at all, so the fact that yours did is amazing I Love It! Your house is so lovely, so happy for you and hope that you're taking care of yourself through all this amazing change :)
I can’t believe that I found this channel ala it a year ago , and I knew I was going to love her content because I kinda feel the same that you do , I’m have anxiety and going to depression and every time I see your videos they just inspire me to keep going , I just love that you are real and that you talk about things that other UA-camrs won’t, so I’m so grateful that you have this channel , ❤️❤️❤️🌹
Hi hi hi!! I’m studying to be a LifeCoach right now & I just want to reassure you that the term “coach” doesn’t do it justice 😂 I can 10000% say I never give advice to clients and in my education for it, we are taught to only *motivate* who we are working with and help them get to where they want to go, without any attachments or advice giving. LOTS of powerful, hard questions that bring them to a new level. YOU’LL ROCK AT IT 👏🏼🙌🏼
I heard game play throughs and i am SO EXCITED!! :D p.s. i love how you have separated your channels, this is kind of your selfcare channel for you. Sending love and positive vibes :)
Q&A: How do you feel your business has grown so far? Just as planned, major road bumps, or completely unexpected turn of events? Also, how excited are you to decorate your new place for fall and winter? Because we are excited to see what you do LoL 🤍🙃
love the way you have became more casual and cozy in the recent vlogs like no makeup or no fancy dress or aesthetics. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 you are very beautiful kalyn even without makeup. lotz of love to you girl and a giant hug 💖💖🌷 happy gardening
I just felt like I needed to say this. You are amazing and as I (we) could tell you were going through it before making your big altering decisions about your life that led you here, I never doubted you would land on your feet. I just had that feeling that this is going to turn into something amazing for you Kalyn ❤️ My eyes literally tearing up writing this! You are such an inspiration to me! Since I found your channel and began watching it sooo many years ago you have filled me with nothing but joy and love for you and most importantly of myself. Internet can be such a scary space but youtube and your channel is the most shining sun there could ever be on the internet! Thank you for all that you’ve done for me not even knowing me in person ❤️
I’ve been following your channel for the past couple of years and your evolution is amazing. You truly are an inspiration to me and you documenting your life has been inspiring and motivating me a lot, whether for just gysting or working out or to start an entire new project. I always look forward to your weekly video on this channel. The personal aspect of it is what makes it that incredible. Thank you so much, lots of love from your neighbours from Quebec 🤍
it’s been such an honor to follow along your transition/journey. i related to your content in 2013 and i relate to your content now in 2021. 💕 you’re my role model and honestly watching your videos is the best dose of inspiration and motivation, wherever i am in my life. much love to you kalyn 💜
Just finished catching up on all your videos from like the past month and it was all the happiness I needed 💕 your new country lifestyle is so wholesome and lovely and I am SO impressed at the independent living and how well you are doing with all the change and adjustment. Love ya!
I've always lived in a rural area, for the most part, but for a while a few years ago I lived in a VERY rural area, and it was so wild and green and beautiful and quiet, and living there, even in the little piece of shit trailer I was living in by myself, that's the happiest I've ever been. Being in Nature and having that stillness and peace is such a blessing, I hope it works its magic on your heart. 💜💜💜
I moved to a rural place last year and can relate so hard to this, from constantly scanning for giant spiders, to things breaking (including the septic tank yay) to feeling so much more at peace and in tune with nature. For the Q&A: what things are you doing now that help you get more in touch with nature? Gardening and having woods to walk through is so nice 💕
I'm new to your channel I'm a 50year old woman living in London and love looking at your new home and garden. Definite space envy there as I look around my cramped one bedroom flat lol. interested in your business updates and direction of travel etc. Also what self dev books you have used and do you journal. Also how you keep yourself motivated on blah days.... Ta ra x
Appreciate you being aware of how you easily we just say certain things without noticing what is implied by it (asking for help rather than needing his muscle). Also, searching for information on native plants to Ontario is an awesome way to support pollinators and support healthy habitat for critters. Might also be good to look at what plants are invasive to the region as these can be toxic and overpower native plants. We are in BC and this is something we try to focus on :)
I can’t wait till you watch this a couple years down the line and see how far you’ve come. Your garden will get established and bugs will be an after thought lol who knows what else! I can’t wait for that video. Let’s call it two years from now!
I 100% am there with you on the spider reaction. That's the absolute worst part of living alone is figuring out how to deal with behemoths like that one. Nope nope nope. I think the direction you're moving with both your channels seems like a good one!
Putting the rose bush outside the window is 💋👌🏻 *chefs kiss The Lakes is a song I listened to on repeat cause I vibes with it so much. My older sister the first time she heard it was like this is your song. I can also hella relate to the spider scare and fear; in the first few years living rurally I was in the SHOWER when I realized a spider had been on my shampoo bottle and had used it to get on to me. I wanted to burn our house to the ground
For the Q and A: What are the plans moving forward with the KOZE membership? Also I love you and you have motivated so many lovely humans including the marketing team of Living Earthly Marketing (who are all Koze members) :)
The end of this video gave me such good feels 😍 I've been watching since you started. So naturally, I feel like you are my long distance bestie. Thanks for being here for us 💗💗💗
I really do think you totally manifested that house and it is where you are meant to be. I can see in your videos how calm and relaxed you seem to be there. Ps the spider reaction was hilarious
Thank you for your videos. Im moving alone, i tried to share a home but ive come to the realization that i need my own space. Ive followed your channel for some time now and kinda feel like we've grown up together so thanks for the company
That you didn't cut the moments when you have been frightened by the flies and mosquitoes is gold 😂 (I am a spider sissy too so in thought i am with you ,when the next thing occurs .i hooe not so soon🙏
Q and A: What do you do to deal with anxious moments? Just wanted to say I've been watching your videos since I started high school (a long time ago) and you are always my comfy happy place to come back to on youtube!
You jumping around thinking there's a spider at every corner...priceless! 😂😅😂 I love hearing about the back end and business side of content creators. Do you feel like you have to diversify your income streams because of a shift in online spaces, in general? Or do look forward to having a holistic Koze community with multiple ways to engage? A little bit of both? A lot of what you do feels very connected and intentional, I'm excited for all that you have in store 💝 Love & light to you 👑
Echoing what others are saying, but you are one of the most genuine UA-camrs and I really appreciate that! That’s one of the main reasons I love your content ❤️
The Lakes has been my current favoriteTS song for awhile and I moved to my favorite lake and started healing in September of last year. So I appreciate the symbolism of that rose bush you planted. It’s your home and you get to add those special touches that are 100% you❤️. As for update questions, I’d like to hear if you feel like it how you balance your 4/20 use without it getting to be too much bc I know you’ve said you have used it as a crutch in the past and it seems you’re good at keeping it in check. My family is full of alcoholics and addicts and I have went through periods with drinking where I wonder am I falling into their ways and I’m always aware and trying to make sure I don’t fall into it all too deep. In 2011 I was getting really bad with drinking, I would say I was addicted. Then I took a break from it completely from 2012-2016 and that helped a lot but I often worry sometimes about my tendencies towards it now that I’ve let it back in my life. I wonder where the line is for you or the behaviors you see in yourself when you think you need to step back and when you do, what actions do you take like do you quit cold turkey for awhile or get more disciplined with use or what? How do you approach it in therapy? I love the vlogs so much!
You remain one of my absolute favorite people to watch! You are so incredibly authentic, and I enjoy listening to everything you share, even when I disagree. ❤️
I moved from the city to the countryside 6 years ago. The crippling fear of bugs just disappears eventually. You got this :) Also for my Q&A: How do I get over feeling sorry for myself, for my circumstances blocking my happiness? I live far away from my family to be with my husband and I want us to have kids but he's not ready. That's kinda specific but the question could apply to lots of people feeling 'stuck' in different life circumstances. You seem so good at finding the happy moments in the now.
I have been watching your videos for a while now you have been a huge inspiration for me, currently changing the way I am living, ty so much for all your videos :) also shout out to Bentley he is so adorable 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Kalyn, loving the new house vlogs. This truly seems a place of joy and rooting for you and you absolutely deserve this! For the Q&A I'd like to learn more about how you approach business side of your work. Are you or did you ever take classes about how to manage your social media presence or was/is it all learning by doing? Hope you're having a wonderful day!
I’ve been really enjoying your videos so much lately- I feel like I’ve kind of grown along side of you + I love all the big sister vibes! Q+A: What new hobbies do you have/how have your interests changed or shifted in your life? How do you make time and space for your hobbies while in a relationship?
I was screaming internally with you over that spider! Thank you so much for not showing a big photo of it because even pictures of spiders freak me out! Holy cow! That sucker was BIG! *shudders*
Hey just an idea, you should get a 2x4 and lay it on top of the lil edging stones and then hammer on top of that to make them all super evenly flat and better stuck in place. 🤗
I’ve been watching you for years and Kalyn, you are GLOWING. You look so at peace, healthy and comfortable. I can’t wait for you to get chickens and live your best rural life. Ps. You should get goats.
Hey! I love your podcasts! I’m still waiting for the next update, I love to get a cup of coffee, relax and listen! Love you! Kisses and hugs from Kaja❤️❤️❤️
I've been following you for years now and I genuinely feel connected to your life in some way through this channel! For the question : When did you become sure of moving to the countryside?
It's ok to ask yo mans for some muscley gardening help lol Also I've learned to appreciate masculine support without feeling like it's a bad thing- masculine energy can be really supportive and they do have more muscle mass to help support their people and we already know how amazing feminine. They balance eachother within us, in relationships and when both are appreciated in as both good in different ways, then it's a beautiful thing
My question is how do you get yourself mentally prepared for the day? Especially on those days where your so anxious you don’t want to be around people or those days you don’t want to leave your bed because your so depressed. Apart from that I love watching your vids, they always bring such a chill vibe ❤️
You flipping off that fly was the best moment in this video. Don't get me wrong, it was really lovely and I really liked the whole thing. But the fly...
I am so down to see what you plan to do with your future "life coach/advisor" business! So happy for your new beginning! And so happy to be here for the journey! Thank you for the last 8 years, much love
Kayln, you’re such an inspiration, as a girl born and growing up in Toronto, you moving to Ottawa to a nice house is such a dream. Manifesting this lifestyle too 🌟
I’m a life coach and it’s actually a common misconception that we give advice! It’s mainly about empowering clients to think of their own ideas and solutions, since they knows themselves better than the coach does. I can’t wait to see what you’re coming out with!! And I resonate so hard with the bug paranoia after it being so close. I was terrified for you. That spider had demon eyes😂😂😂
So excited to see the progress in your backyard! Question for you: How do you think your work/life balance has improved (or not improved) through the addition of the yoga membership and other "non-youtube" facets of your job?

I love your real vulnerability with the bugs. One of my favorite parts it made me, smile and laugh knowing I’m not alone feeling this way; since I have similar stories.
The last vlog chapter with 'final goodbyes' in it - I didn't know what to expect! :O
The spider reaction 😂😂😂
Her reaction was so funny and what made it funnier was the spider just sat there like hey I'm ready for class
I was dying 😂
scared the F out of me seeing it, but her reaction was funny (and relatable)... I woud`ve need to leave this house :D
I've seen so many UA-camr's gradually become less and less genuine over the years and I recently had to unsubscribe from several channels because the videos didn't make me feel good anymore. However, you just keep getting more and more real and it's so inspiring to see how you've become more true to yourself over the years. Your videos always make me feel good and you always motivate me. I'm older than you but I feel like you have a lot of wisdom and you are someone to look up to.
My question - I know a lot of women, myself included, struggle being home alone especially living in a rural setting. I don't live alone but my anxiety goes through the roof when I'm home alone for a night or two (probably from watching/listening to waaaay too much true crime). Is this something you had to deal with when moving into your new house and if so, how did you overcome any fears or anxieties you had?
PS. I cannot with that spider!! So freaking horrifying! No, just no.
I feel more and more closer to her as she becomes more authentic :)
It feels like everyone is currently experiencing a renaissance of...life itself.
Ohh my god Damon!!!
Damon?! You here? Ugh man, I can't like you even more :') Your taste is :*
Damon is here!!
i dont know who you are.. but your comment!!!! yesss
When Damon watches the same content as you🙌🦄. But I 100% agree. Thre is a whole evolution happening right now
When you were talking about your boyfriend helping you and said “ugh, I can do it”...I felt that. Like fully capable of doing things myself, but also help is nice and definitely appreciated 😂
yes omg! I related with that too :)
Also, I could do it, but I don’t want to. 😅
You would be incredible in a horror movie. The spider scream was a 10/10.
I know its June... but I cannot wait for the fall youtober vibes in this house!!! eeekkkkk!
Same! I love those
Omg same!
I cant wait! Fav season, fav UA-cam videos 🖤
Same!!
Yes yes yes!
Your reaction when you find the spider lol 😂
I would LOVE to hear about how you've been diversifying your sources of income! Between the revenue for the channels, your merch and books, the membership, etc. I'd be fascinated to hear about those things!
Also: this video was the most authentic video i’ve felt of yours. like i genuinely felt like i was sitting across from you just sipping a tea with you. i’m so thankful for your realism, your highs and lows, your down to earth talks, everything. Your community has given me so much life. Thank you Kalyn!
I LOVE IT TOO! I feel she's beel openeing up to us.
Same!! Such great vibes from her!
I agree I really like seeing her more authentic- not so edited or curated!
i would love a quick update on the books you've been reading and loving. Also, which books are on your reading list right now, very curious :) sending you so much love and spring vibes from Belgium xx
Yes book update 🤩🤩
Yes a bookish update would be amazing!
I love how authentic you are (you could have edited out the parts of being scared by that mosquito and you didn't 😄) and how much it feels like you are my big sister. I started watching your videos quite a while ago and have seen how much has changed for you. I agree that coach sounds weird, maybe you could call yourself a "Life Advisor" ? My questions is: How did you learn to wait for the things you were manifesting/ do you have any tips for the wait period? Thanks Kalyn
Maybe to not spend time waiting. That would mean that you focus on the actual absence of whatever you want to manifest. Go with the flow, focus on everything that is already there, be grateful for it. You will pull more things to be grateful for into your life.
That's a good suggestion. I like the title "Life Advisor"
🐜 🕷 🐛 🪲🐞🪰🦗🦟🪳 please let the authentic reactions never leave us 🙏 😂 ♥️
I had camel crickets when we moved in but cats moved in too … I don’t have camel crickets anymore!
Random tip for watering your plants. Never on the leaves, because they can get severe sun burns due to the water droplets on the leaves. It is better do water them (each plant 10-15 sec. underneath their leaves. :)
Q&A: what’s the hardest adjustment for you moving from Toronto to the countryside ?
Q&A: How is your general feeling about your relationship with your boyfriend? You've changed so much (as every one does) throughout the years and i was wondering how you felt about this "new" partner in the new chapter of your life? I hope for you he's a keeper and brings happiness in your life 🤍 I really enjoy your content, keep up the good work! Sending you love from Québec 🤍
Hello from Montreal!!
Shes good she has a real man now not a little sissy city boy lol jk
When you flipped off the fly I died 😂😂😂
You talking to Bentley in the jeep, sooo cute!
I would love know more about Bentley, how hes adjusting to such a different larger space.
How you trained him that sort of this.
Ive got a 2 year old boston terrier and I'm always so nervous having him running around like if something were to happen to him
Thanks for being here, Kalyn ❤️
Q&A: Do you still plan on writing another Catcher book? (Coming from a place of love, here. Just did a re-read) It seems like you've grown so much since the first one, the characters would be very different.
Yes I've been wondering about this too
I'd love to just catch up on life, like old friends! How has life been after Bali, and your last year in Toronto in such strange circumstances? How was the in between period AirBnB-hopping? How is Larissa doing? Have been loving the membership program and all of this year's content, so happy to have you back and feel reconnected again! :)
I wrote in my journal today "I might not watched all of Kalyn's vlogs but whenever I'm back to her channel, I feel like a part of me is back to me too" and I suppose what is written in a journal is true. I love you and your vlogs is my place to feel love and passion again.
I love seeing you growing and achieving your dreams. I can't explain but I really wish you the best :( ❤❤❤
I loved this vlog so much! I've got a question for the q&a: Could you maybe talk about long distance friendships? I want to eventually move to the country side as well but I'm a bit scared of feeling isolated because that means leaving most of my friends. I love living on my own right now but that has a lot to do with living close to my friends. How have you been feeling about moving away from your friends?
I am CACKLING at the bug reactions... omg.
I am proud of how far you've come in all of your life journies! I have been watching your videos for a long time and have felt like i've grown beside you, even though we don't know each other! Thankful for your honesty and vulnerability and wishing you the best as you continue.
Q/A: how do you learn how to become happy alone. I always get sad, unmotivated and slightly depressed when I am alone for even just half a day. I seem to depend on others for happiness, a little too much? I am just so social, and I crave human interactions. But I also long to be alone, in the woods, in a cabin with nothing to do. How can I find that balance?
As a certified life coach myself, I want to share that technically, coaching is not telling people what to do or even suggesting it. It’s rooted in the belief that the client knows what is best for them (even if they feel they currently don’t have clarity), and that the coach’s job is to help them come to their own answers. Often consulting or mentoring is used in the process, but coaching in its purest form is a lot about asking questions and helping clients come to their own conclusions. Co-creating game plans vs. providing them. Just wanted to share because there’s a lot of misconceptions about the coaching industry. I can totally see you being a great coach/consultant/guide/mentor/all of the above! :) It’s not 100% necessary , but if you are ever looking for a coaching school, I went to iPec (one of the top accredited schools) and loved it. Anyway, SO excited to see where your journey takes you. You already help so many (including me) just by being you, doing the work, and showing up authentically. ☺️💕✨
Questions:
1. Tell me everything new
2. Do you feel like your career change has brought you new and more authentic joy?
3. Do you miss toronto?
4. What inspires you these days?
We can all just feel your authenticity at every moment Kalyn and it’s is SOO appreciated ❤️we need more people like you in this online space and the world! Much love 💖💖✨✨✨
I love that you talked about your boyfriend helping you with the garden and then caught yourself and where like... no I got this! I remember watching you when you were single and being so inspired by how much you were able to do completely on your own (buying a house, moving out of Toronto, etc). You are SO brave Kalyn! At the same time it's also nice to have a significant other and them being able to help you with things, and that's totally fine too! :)
when you speak of changes, it only reminds me of how I evolved with you. I loved that for us. We grew together and became amazing people. When people ask me of my past and my transition, you are very much an important part of that. I think that's amazing. I'm so here for us to grow together
Q &A: Would love an updated finance/sources of income update!!! ❤
I love that! Watching you be natural and relaxed and "real" is always great fun. Even what you said in one of your previous videos about not caring so much about how you look on camera all the time. I can imagine the need to look perfect all the time but it is so much more relatable and helps so much to see you in daily clothes going about your day and yes maybe not looking supermodel perfect while doing yardwork or watering your garden and the hose breaks down 😂. I'm like, "okay no one looks made up and ready for the runway 24/7" which I already know, but seeing you making a point to include these real moments is so comforting and brave. I feel like there is this internal pressure to look good no matter what we're doing, even when we are alone, like it's all a performance and there is an audience. I've been trying to change that in myself and focus on what I'm doing instead of what I look like while doing it and if I'm pretty etc. I hope it makes sense even a little bit, I just love you being comfortable 🥺
The other day I was watching old videos from 2017, trying to find out when you took the tarot and is there any information on how you started with them, and oh my god, how much you have changed, somewhere since 2018 you can see a change, for the better of course, how much you're calmer, more natural and you ... I'm really happy for you!
Q&A:
1. Are you happy where you are, now that some time has passed (I mean the house and the wilderness around you)? Because I want more and more to leave the city, and go somewhere where it's peaceful and there is no crowd and hustle and bustle, but only nature, but I wonder if that's really it, now that I see you afraid of spiders, and how many there are, I would literally die, I couldn't sleep, thinking they were crawling around me all the time...
Do you miss the city?
2. Regarding tarot, I tried to find it, but I didn't succeed .. It would be nice to make a video about tarot. How did you start, did you sleep with them as I read somewhere that you should... What deck you recomend for beginners?
3. Books. Of course! Could some update :)
Kalyn you are so amazing 😊- you really motivate me. Your house is stunning - just so beautiful 😍 Q&A: could you do a talk about self discipline and also maybe a coffee talk about holistic therapies like reiki and past lives etc. 😀
Omg I CRACKED up watching your reaction to the spider in the yoga video! It was so real and how I would have reacted😂
Also quick appreciation! Thankyou for doing what you do. It’s a Saturday morning, I’m sipping my coffee. And I just feel motivated, inspired and ready to take on the day! Thankyou💜
No disrespect intended, planting a garden is the most down to earth thing I've ever seen you do. I love it and I'm proud of you. You're gonna love the rewards of your efforts.
that white hydrangea you have in your yard is GORGEOUS! a lot of times they take years to bloom or they never do at all, so the fact that yours did is amazing I Love It! Your house is so lovely, so happy for you and hope that you're taking care of yourself through all this amazing change :)
I can’t believe that I found this channel ala it a year ago , and I knew I was going to love her content because I kinda feel the same that you do , I’m have anxiety and going to depression and every time I see your videos they just inspire me to keep going , I just love that you are real and that you talk about things that other UA-camrs won’t, so I’m so grateful that you have this channel , ❤️❤️❤️🌹
Hi hi hi!! I’m studying to be a LifeCoach right now & I just want to reassure you that the term “coach” doesn’t do it justice 😂 I can 10000% say I never give advice to clients and in my education for it, we are taught to only *motivate* who we are working with and help them get to where they want to go, without any attachments or advice giving. LOTS of powerful, hard questions that bring them to a new level. YOU’LL ROCK AT IT 👏🏼🙌🏼
You are so brave (minus spiders 😁). The rural life is so beautiful but I know I couldn’t do it myself so I enjoy watching you tackle it.
Yesss a gardening video from Kalyn!
I heard game play throughs and i am SO EXCITED!! :D p.s. i love how you have separated your channels, this is kind of your selfcare channel for you. Sending love and positive vibes :)
Q&A: How do you feel your business has grown so far? Just as planned, major road bumps, or completely unexpected turn of events? Also, how excited are you to decorate your new place for fall and winter? Because we are excited to see what you do LoL 🤍🙃
love the way you have became more casual and cozy in the recent vlogs like no makeup or no fancy dress or aesthetics. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 you are very beautiful kalyn even without makeup. lotz of love to you girl and a giant hug 💖💖🌷 happy gardening
I just felt like I needed to say this. You are amazing and as I (we) could tell you were going through it before making your big altering decisions about your life that led you here, I never doubted you would land on your feet. I just had that feeling that this is going to turn into something amazing for you Kalyn ❤️
My eyes literally tearing up writing this! You are such an inspiration to me! Since I found your channel and began watching it sooo many years ago you have filled me with nothing but joy and love for you and most importantly of myself. Internet can be such a scary space but youtube and your channel is the most shining sun there could ever be on the internet!
Thank you for all that you’ve done for me not even knowing me in person ❤️
I’ve been following your channel for the past couple of years and your evolution is amazing. You truly are an inspiration to me and you documenting your life has been inspiring and motivating me a lot, whether for just gysting or working out or to start an entire new project. I always look forward to your weekly video on this channel. The personal aspect of it is what makes it that incredible. Thank you so much, lots of love from your neighbours from Quebec 🤍
it’s been such an honor to follow along your transition/journey. i related to your content in 2013 and i relate to your content now in 2021. 💕 you’re my role model and honestly watching your videos is the best dose of inspiration and motivation, wherever i am in my life. much love to you kalyn 💜
It's so fascinating to watch you growing more mature and self-sufficient, Kalyn. Feeling those vibes. I turned 30 a week ago!
Just finished catching up on all your videos from like the past month and it was all the happiness I needed 💕 your new country lifestyle is so wholesome and lovely and I am SO impressed at the independent living and how well you are doing with all the change and adjustment. Love ya!
I’ve been watching you for years and watching Bentley age and it breaks my heart ❤️
I've always lived in a rural area, for the most part, but for a while a few years ago I lived in a VERY rural area, and it was so wild and green and beautiful and quiet, and living there, even in the little piece of shit trailer I was living in by myself, that's the happiest I've ever been. Being in Nature and having that stillness and peace is such a blessing, I hope it works its magic on your heart. 💜💜💜
I moved to a rural place last year and can relate so hard to this, from constantly scanning for giant spiders, to things breaking (including the septic tank yay) to feeling so much more at peace and in tune with nature. For the Q&A: what things are you doing now that help you get more in touch with nature? Gardening and having woods to walk through is so nice 💕
I'm new to your channel I'm a 50year old woman living in London and love looking at your new home and garden. Definite space envy there as I look around my cramped one bedroom flat lol. interested in your business updates and direction of travel etc. Also what self dev books you have used and do you journal. Also how you keep yourself motivated on blah days.... Ta ra x
The spider! 😳🤣 that karate chop and flipping off the fly got me! 😆
Appreciate you being aware of how you easily we just say certain things without noticing what is implied by it (asking for help rather than needing his muscle). Also, searching for information on native plants to Ontario is an awesome way to support pollinators and support healthy habitat for critters. Might also be good to look at what plants are invasive to the region as these can be toxic and overpower native plants. We are in BC and this is something we try to focus on :)
I can’t wait till you watch this a couple years down the line and see how far you’ve come. Your garden will get established and bugs will be an after thought lol who knows what else! I can’t wait for that video. Let’s call it two years from now!
I 100% am there with you on the spider reaction. That's the absolute worst part of living alone is figuring out how to deal with behemoths like that one. Nope nope nope. I think the direction you're moving with both your channels seems like a good one!
Putting the rose bush outside the window is 💋👌🏻 *chefs kiss The Lakes is a song I listened to on repeat cause I vibes with it so much. My older sister the first time she heard it was like this is your song. I can also hella relate to the spider scare and fear; in the first few years living rurally I was in the SHOWER when I realized a spider had been on my shampoo bottle and had used it to get on to me. I wanted to burn our house to the ground
For the Q and A: What are the plans moving forward with the KOZE membership? Also I love you and you have motivated so many lovely humans including the marketing team of Living Earthly Marketing (who are all Koze members) :)
Loving how you’re going make up free and bare skin. You look beautiful and glowy ✨✨✨ that’s 90 percent of us during this pandemic 💕💕💕💕
“What are this?” Is that a Jenna Marbles throwback??? Yay
The end of this video gave me such good feels 😍 I've been watching since you started. So naturally, I feel like you are my long distance bestie. Thanks for being here for us 💗💗💗
I really do think you totally manifested that house and it is where you are meant to be. I can see in your videos how calm and relaxed you seem to be there. Ps the spider reaction was hilarious
I just love how you are glowing and to see you become the embodiment of happiness
Thank you for your videos. Im moving alone, i tried to share a home but ive come to the realization that i need my own space. Ive followed your channel for some time now and kinda feel like we've grown up together so thanks for the company
That you didn't cut the moments when you have been frightened by the flies and mosquitoes is gold 😂 (I am a spider sissy too so in thought i am with you ,when the next thing occurs .i hooe not so soon🙏
Q and A: What do you do to deal with anxious moments? Just wanted to say I've been watching your videos since I started high school (a long time ago) and you are always my comfy happy place to come back to on youtube!
You jumping around thinking there's a spider at every corner...priceless! 😂😅😂 I love hearing about the back end and business side of content creators. Do you feel like you have to diversify your income streams because of a shift in online spaces, in general? Or do look forward to having a holistic Koze community with multiple ways to engage? A little bit of both? A lot of what you do feels very connected and intentional, I'm excited for all that you have in store 💝 Love & light to you 👑
Q&A: What's something unexpected about living rural that you didn't think of before? Good or bad.
THANK YOU FOR UPDATING ME ON YOUR LAWN MOWER SITUATION
I love watching you transition from urban kalyn to earthy kalyn.
Echoing what others are saying, but you are one of the most genuine UA-camrs and I really appreciate that! That’s one of the main reasons I love your content ❤️
The Lakes has been my current favoriteTS song for awhile and I moved to my favorite lake and started healing in September of last year. So I appreciate the symbolism of that rose bush you planted. It’s your home and you get to add those special touches that are 100% you❤️. As for update questions, I’d like to hear if you feel like it how you balance your 4/20 use without it getting to be too much bc I know you’ve said you have used it as a crutch in the past and it seems you’re good at keeping it in check. My family is full of alcoholics and addicts and I have went through periods with drinking where I wonder am I falling into their ways and I’m always aware and trying to make sure I don’t fall into it all too deep. In 2011 I was getting really bad with drinking, I would say I was addicted. Then I took a break from it completely from 2012-2016 and that helped a lot but I often worry sometimes about my tendencies towards it now that I’ve let it back in my life. I wonder where the line is for you or the behaviors you see in yourself when you think you need to step back and when you do, what actions do you take like do you quit cold turkey for awhile or get more disciplined with use or what? How do you approach it in therapy?
I love the vlogs so much!
Awh Bentley 🥰 it’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos for some reason and it’s so good to see his little face
You remain one of my absolute favorite people to watch! You are so incredibly authentic, and I enjoy listening to everything you share, even when I disagree. ❤️
I moved from the city to the countryside 6 years ago. The crippling fear of bugs just disappears eventually. You got this :)
Also for my Q&A: How do I get over feeling sorry for myself, for my circumstances blocking my happiness?
I live far away from my family to be with my husband and I want us to have kids but he's not ready. That's kinda specific but the question could apply to lots of people feeling 'stuck' in different life circumstances. You seem so good at finding the happy moments in the now.
I have been watching your videos for a while now you have been a huge inspiration for me, currently changing the way I am living, ty so much for all your videos :) also shout out to Bentley he is so adorable 🤗🤗🤗
Fun fact, sometimes it’s nice to just let your lawn grow because it encourages wildflowers and brings more wildlife to the area! 🥰
Hi Kalyn, loving the new house vlogs. This truly seems a place of joy and rooting for you and you absolutely deserve this! For the Q&A I'd like to learn more about how you approach business side of your work. Are you or did you ever take classes about how to manage your social media presence or was/is it all learning by doing? Hope you're having a wonderful day!
The second I get a notification says you've updated a video is one of my favorite
I’ve been really enjoying your videos so much lately- I feel like I’ve kind of grown along side of you + I love all the big sister vibes! Q+A: What new hobbies do you have/how have your interests changed or shifted in your life? How do you make time and space for your hobbies while in a relationship?
Okaaaay, but HOW did you actually go about managing that spider?!! 😱 It’s normally such a production for me after that screaming point...
Love you 💕
I was screaming internally with you over that spider! Thank you so much for not showing a big photo of it because even pictures of spiders freak me out! Holy cow! That sucker was BIG! *shudders*
I adore you so much! I feel like we have grown together and I am so happy to have you in my life💖
Hey just an idea, you should get a 2x4 and lay it on top of the lil edging stones and then hammer on top of that to make them all super evenly flat and better stuck in place. 🤗
I’ve been watching you for years and Kalyn, you are GLOWING. You look so at peace, healthy and comfortable. I can’t wait for you to get chickens and live your best rural life.
Ps. You should get goats.
Hey! I love your podcasts! I’m still waiting for the next update, I love to get a cup of coffee, relax and listen! Love you! Kisses and hugs from Kaja❤️❤️❤️
I've been following you for years now and I genuinely feel connected to your life in some way through this channel! For the question : When did you become sure of moving to the countryside?
It's ok to ask yo mans for some muscley gardening help lol
Also I've learned to appreciate masculine support without feeling like it's a bad thing- masculine energy can be really supportive and they do have more muscle mass to help support their people and we already know how amazing feminine. They balance eachother within us, in relationships and when both are appreciated in as both good in different ways, then it's a beautiful thing
My question is how do you get yourself mentally prepared for the day? Especially on those days where your so anxious you don’t want to be around people or those days you don’t want to leave your bed because your so depressed.
Apart from that I love watching your vids, they always bring such a chill vibe ❤️
Having your own place is so frustrating when things start breaking! But you're making a fabulous adventure of it! x
I am SO here for the park ranger shorts, LOVE them
You flipping off that fly was the best moment in this video. Don't get me wrong, it was really lovely and I really liked the whole thing. But the fly...
Q&A - Since so much has changed both in your life and your spirit, how has your "purpose" changed, if at all? Do you find your goals have shifted?
The first bush with white flowers you showed in this video is hydrangeas 😍😍😍 one of my faves
I am so down to see what you plan to do with your future "life coach/advisor" business! So happy for your new beginning! And so happy to be here for the journey! Thank you for the last 8 years, much love
Kayln, you’re such an inspiration, as a girl born and growing up in Toronto, you moving to Ottawa to a nice house is such a dream. Manifesting this lifestyle too 🌟
Thank you for the laugh 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one to react that way and remain super paranoid 😂😂😂
I’m a life coach and it’s actually a common misconception that we give advice! It’s mainly about empowering clients to think of their own ideas and solutions, since they knows themselves better than the coach does. I can’t wait to see what you’re coming out with!! And I resonate so hard with the bug paranoia after it being so close. I was terrified for you. That spider had demon eyes😂😂😂
So excited to see the progress in your backyard!
Question for you: How do you think your work/life balance has improved (or not improved) through the addition of the yoga membership and other "non-youtube" facets of your job?
