Thanks for all your videos, Cathrin. I often times make the mistake of waiting until I am unrealistically motivated and excited to make a video, waiting for that perfect "mood" to be in, and end up not even making one. It's time to change that.
My mom told me one time when I was in this state to “make one place you can always go to and it is exactly how you want it”. It could be a room, closet, corner, outside … whatever. Just a place to find peace.
I used to look up to you as a RUclipsr, and now I look up to you as a person. Thank you for all you do, and please take care of yourself. You seem like type of person I would want to be friends with.
I really like seeing this because as a smaller channel who isn't monetized, I haven't uploaded much this month due to personal things but I'm also still in the middle of filming a video that takes longer than just an average weekly video.
We care SO MUCH MORE about you as a person that what and how much you can produce. Less content from a kinder to herself cathrin, is something I can absolutely get behind ❤🙌
Emotional exhaustion is as real as physical exhaustion - and living in chaos heightens this. Sleeping for 12 hours when it hits is reasonable, be kind to yourself when this happens. And thanks as always for going through your analytics. You doing this has really removed the mystery for me and helped me understand how to read my own analytics in a meaningful way.
Hey Cathrin, I totally relate to how you've been feeling, hope you start to feel 'lighter' real soon... Do you think you're feeling like this purely because of the mess you're in with the house or do you think there's an underlying problem that's enhancing the feeling of being all over the place with the house... I really think you've done the right thing by taking a break, but don't let taking a break stress you out because of the RUclips conveyor belt that you feel you should be on. You're a talented creator and your true following will stick with you while you sort yourself out 😊 Wishing you much happiness in December 🤗
My husband and I did 2 live-in-flip houses back to back (the second while I was pregnant 🫣). It is NOT for the faint of heart! You are doing AWESOME Cathrin- glad you’re giving yourself some grace with your filming and uploading. Project managing a renovation is a full time job in itself, not to mention the looming deadline of Thanksgiving… If it’s any comfort, once the reno projects get done, it really IS possible to find some time and space to rest again. Sending you hugs!
Ugh that dark feeling when you just can’t get out of bed is too familiar to me. So sorry you’ve been going through this. I understand the pressure to perform and create content- I’m a magazine content coordinator in addition to my writing content career and keeping up with the monthly deadline for the magazine has killed me to the point where I haven’t been consistent in my writing and I’m seeing my numbers drop because of that. Anywho, thanks again for sharing with us through these hard times and even including the analytics report- thank you. ❤ I hope you find some peace of mind soon. Sending you good wishes!
man it's hard to force creativity isn't it! especially when you've got other things on your plate like your monthly deadline... that has to come first!
I am currently going through the same thing right now! I just fell back into a deep depression and anxiety symptoms theses past few days. && I’m just getting started with my channel. So I wanted to upload consistently but hearing you be vulnerable about your mental health gives me the courage to be honest about my mental health. I slept for 2 days sleep. Just woke up a few hours ago….thank you again. I understand. I truly do understand
Is it weird to say I’m proud of you for taking the time you need? Because I am 😂 I’ve been watching through your vlogmas from the past two years and you’ve inspired me to give it a go so I’m selfishly hoping you’ll be able to do it this year, but more than that I so appreciate your honesty with where you’re at and demonstrating respecting your limits. That’s a message the whole world needs ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. Yes focus on yourself and your self care and mental health. Upload when you can, I've been following you for years and appreciate everything you create for us. Health first. Here to support you. I can also relate, its been a tough couple of weeks/ months for me aswell - I am also living in transition room/ place until I move into a new home. Its been a month of living of out boxes, suitcases, bags, all my things in one room & it's a mess . My physical space definitely is a reflection of also my mental space, and it's been challenging to stay organized and today & stick to routines and habits that I usually would be when I'm more settled. Just gotta keep rolling with the punches and going with the flow to do my best til I move. Send my best intentions to you aswell. Thank you. I see you 🥰🌺🙏🌟
Thanks once again for sharing with us, Cathrin! Sorry this season hasn’t treated you the best. I hope the holiday season brings you so much joy (and can’t wait to hear about seeing everyone on the pod!)
Second comment now that I have actually WATCHED the video. I just wanted to say that it’s incredibly normal to feel…stressed, confused, befuddled whatever the rich words are…when you are living in chaos. I always say, “a cluttered house makes for a cluttered mind”. I really FEEL for you. Living through all of that construction has to be a total nightmare. I’ve lived though construction before and it’s so so hard to think straight when everything around you is in chaos. Hugs, hang in there. I am willing to bet that once the house is settled, you will feel 1000x’s better. ❤
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I've been watching for like 3 months and updates on what is going on in your head make me feel closer as a "follower". Much love and light sister. You are doing amazing things -Ali B :)
Hey Cathrin and anyone who suffered with the breakdown.. In my case, I had a few months when I couldn't get out of bed and I literally felt dead. I could not go to work, I could barely motivate myself taking a shower. This felt like hell, and I even got to visit doctors, asking what the hell is wrong with me. I showed up 100% healthy. And one person advice me to check vitamin D levels, ferritin, thyroid hormones.. and all the basic stuff, but was more important is vitamin / mineral levels. My vitamin D was CRITICALLY low. I started to supplement, it was not really going up. My body was still half dead, until I could finally reach the summer and get sun. Then I was feeling better. Sometimes its about the physical body, and not necessarily mindset/motivation or discipline. I hope it helps!
I totally get the whole not functioning well in the midst of chaos. We are in the middle of moving house and cleaning up the old place, living in a van for 3 weeks with stuff in storage and then moving into our next place in 3 weeks. Everything is chaos and my mind is struggling. Hang in there, this season will pass and you will be back to being organised soon I’m sure xx.
I am in the similar boat or should I say on this same roller coaster ride. Covid wiped out our customers, reducing our income from $30,000 a month to $2,000. Our companies kept bleeding, paying 4 salaries & draining our nest egg. My wife & I split up 11 months ago, in a loving way, because she needed to take a separate journey for personal reasons that I totally support. It was tough enough emotionally struggling with this while supporting my family with our aging parents with dementia. Then my mother dies in September. It’s been so difficult for me to keep up with contact creation and trying to finish my reality, creation course by myself (which I found to be my true passion in life,) doing so without any income or helping anyone. 😆 Crazy, but I will survive this, and I will finish it somehow. Now I had to become the caretaker of my father of 79 with dementia. 💜🙌🦋
EFT Tapping saved me when I was feeling depressed, overwhelmed, sad, etc. Sending you love and light! I just discovered you last week. Just started a RUclips channel and I really appreciate your channel.
Your transparency is appreciated. September was a VERY heavy month for all. The retrograde was the most powerful one that has have experienced in recent years. Let self grace be your source of peace and comfort. Keep inspiring 🙌🏾🙏🏾
You been pushing hard all your life. It is OK to rest take time off and reset. Great channel excellent content. Don't get burnout, you are at your best when you are free to be yourself..
Thank you for sharing about how you've been feeling! It's brave to open up and be vulnerable! You are showing others its okay to share the lows as well as the highs because we all go through them and it's nice to not feel alone! I'm glad you're feeling better and hope this season of lows is over for you and it's nothing but peaceful from now on!
I'm glad your mental health isn't a jerk. I haven't done any uploads in over a year because of my mental health. Though being in the Sims community is a mistake. I'm not really involved anymore but now I think other things are contributing to not wanting to record gameplay. Not even relaunch my other channel for other games. Bought GTA v on April and that was going to be one of the games. Haven't touched it. Though I think knowing how YT works and it means my channel is basically dead isn't helping along with other things that kill my mood to even want to record. *Sigh* hope your mental health doesn't get in the way like mine. :)
I'm glad that you felt like you could take a break from RUclips, it's just like any other job, we can all take holiday and sick days so you should get to too! Don't worry about your subscribers missing out on videos, everyone understands and will be waiting patiently for your next video, never feel pressured to get a video up on time, hope you're feeling better (:
You are the most genuine and honest content creator most are not like you and that is why I watch you ❤.. I love how u share your your life and feelings , ups and downs, thts what being human should b all about .. thank you for just being you ..😊
Love how you went through your analytics again! I’m so pleasantly surprised you uploaded as much as you did, with all these life changes going on!!?? 👍🏻 You’re an amazing human being and I absolutely ❤❤ your content!!
Honestly in that state of chaos I'm surprised you're even able to film and edit the amount that you do!! And do all your projects and design the entire thing! Absolutely admirable. I had a completely chaotic day today, woke up to a water disaster in the kitchen (thankfully the problem was fixed quickly!) leaving my kitchen cabinets empty to air dry, and their contents all over my house... plus a huge pile of soiled dishes. After a few hours in there, I had to leave the house and do some work at the office I go to, to focus on something else for a while! And now that I'm home, I feel so overwhelmed with the chaos. It's only a kitchen. But, like you, I thrive best when things are in their places. All of that to say..... you're understood. And it will pass. ❤ And now I'm going to push through and get some cleaning done! Thank you for uploading this video, it was a safe spot for me to regain my senses.
Coming back on to say that the MOMENT I picked up the last item off the floor, I instantly felt relief and like myself again. It's crazy but real! I really hope you can make more moments to pull at least one area of your house together, so that you have a place where you can feel peaceful! It makes SUCH a difference!
Love your channel, Cathrin, and thanks for being an inspiration. I got 5 new subscribers in October, which for me is not bad and shows my channel going in the right direction. Keep up your good work and remember that smooth seas never made a great sailor!
Thank you for being honest while checking out your analytics, Cathrin. I have been consistent/inconsistent due to my 9-6 being high demanding. Now, I have to use my timing wisely, and it’s hard as a perfectionist content creator. Okay, can’t wait to see the next upload🙌🏾‼️
We love you so much and care deeply for you. I'm glad the "running away" was a joke. I understand your thoughts on vlogmas, totally understand if you cannot do it
Take a deep breath you can only do what you can. Don't be so hard on yourself, the world, your house is not going away just as we are not going away. The chaos is what makes us feel uneasy take one step at a time.
I really appreciate that you share this information because it normalizes how to deal with the numbers that can be challenging like losing subs or getting/not getting likes. I get a lot of inspiration from you! 🙌
This hit home Cathrin , I’ve been going through some issues with missing home after 11 yrs of being in Australia. This has had effect on my motivation to keep uploading.
Good for you being open and honest with your struggles. I know not everybody is going through a rough time but those of us that are, it's good to know we aren't alone! I've adapted the same philosophy where if I don't have a video ready, I just upload it when it is ready or wait till my next normal upload day. To be fair, I only have 80 subscribers so not a lot of people care/notice if I miss one but I'm not going to stress myself out about it. People need to be understanding that life happens and even though "it's your job"...people take sick days from their 9-5's all the time. It's NORMAL!
I love your work ethic, even if you’re not totally feeling it! 💕 11 subscribers is all I have at the moment, and I am proud to have even those 😂 I replay your words in my head every time I finish editing a video, hoping to jump right into the next one, and never do. But it’s ok! I know you’ll make another video that I can watch, and retry to motivate myself to do better, again!! Your honesty inspires me heaps, please know that 💕
I’m so happy to see you posting ! Girl last year when we got hit in TX with the winter storm ⛈️ my kitchen was demolished because of the damage. Our ceiling too. It was Chaos ! I was so on edge with all the stuff out of place an it was a very dark time for me too. It’s nice that you have a space that feels like home an before you know it your home will be done ✅ an you will be thriving bb!!! Always look forward to your vlogs girl you’re inspiring
I love your honesty, the truth most don't say it out here on RUclips, all we see is everyone constantly uploading so I did the same like them but it took a toll on me and I would wonder if its just me cz nobody's saying anything. I chose to take care of myself if I had to keep going. Thanks Kate, love your openness, take care
I hope you get to feeling better! Thank you for filming this one and giving us a glimpse into what this looks like for you. I am chronically ill and I am sure I will have gaps in my uploads from time to time. We are all human and we must take care of ourselves. thank you.
I am like you as a creator in that, I want to share my struggles and be real and not put a BS filter so others know we ALL struggle at times. I also battle feeling like I can't do that because "RUclips" will "punish" my channel for not cranking out content that falls into my value proposition. As a former vlogger, I miss that dialog...also I would LOVE those numbers..lol. I have been grinding for almost 8 years on this platform. All the best to you, you are not alone in these feelings as a creator. -John
Dear Catherine, I want you to be kind to yourself, you've been through a lot in your life and you deserve a break and a good rest. I will always be here and wait for your new videos with an excitement, because I love how realistic and lovely you are as a person. Your personality is why I'm here, whatever you post and whenever you post, I want you to know that. Virtual hug 🌞🤗🌼
When you have a lot going on it’s ok! We’ll always be here whenever you can be! I’m struggling too. Had surgery and 3 deaths in the family! You’re not alone! 💕
Gurl! Hang in there. For us watching you, it doesn’t matter if your vlogging about painting a pile of cow sh*t gold, we watch you and stick with you because you are real, open about your analytics (suuuper helpful for a small channel like us) and you are honest. Good day, bad day, whatever-we all have them. But Aaron and I stick with you thru thick and thin. Cheers from VA!
One of my most favorite quotes is kinda like »The world needs you cracked open« (Rebecca Campbell) and I can feel this so much! Sending you all the ♥️♥️♥️
I think I’m afraid of putting my whole heart into something and it failing, so I fail myself instead. Failing because I didn’t put my effort in is easier to swallow than failing because I’m not good enough. I know if I don’t try I can’t get better.
Times of transition are super hard! It totally makes sense that your "normal" schedule/life etc would be disrupted with your move and everything, and I agree with everyone else who says its important to give yourself compassion and grace and know that this is a normal human response to change. Also, wondering if Vlogmas doesn't have to be all or nothing - maybe you could do every other day, or just make short videos every day instead of going all out? Do what works for you and makes it fun and not so stressful!
I really like how you dive deep into analytics in these videos. I can understand how chaos can be SO hard, I’m a bit of an obsessive organizer and when I can’t control that I get so stressed. I’m curious why your monetization is turned off on that other analytics video?
Hi Cathrin good morning happy Wednesday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
You know you are putting too much pressure on yourself, right..? :) ?Just take the time to enjoy this chapter of your life! Have fun with turning this house in your safe, happy place. If that means you can only upload once a month, so be it! I mean..what's the worst that can happen? You have several income streams, so you will not have money problems. One thing that stuck with me since I was in my 20's is that if you are happy, everyone around you will be happy too. Your subscribers will be happy if you manage to post once a month, as long as they see you doing well...they will never prefer to see 8 videos a month in which you are struggling. Be kind to yourself and take a pill of "fukitol" once in a while :D
Honestly I’m in my 20s too and here lately I have felt like I been failing myself. I really needed to hear this I’m trying to start my own channel. I have been so mean to myself because I have only been getting shorts up. Love your videos they feel like a safe way place to me.
For me, in regards to your 'moving into your house video', I liked your video as my way as saying "I like your house, I'm happy you're moving into your house", you know, THAT sort of thing. Hope this helps you in your hypothesizing as to why your likes for that video are higher than your comment engagement. On a personal note, I totally get it about the state of clutter in your home impacting your mental state. If my environment isn't pretty, I become so depressed. Always have. Love and Hugs.
I love this type of video where you show your analytics, it is super inspirational. Your still smashing it, here is one more comment for your comment count. ;-)
Thanks for all your videos, Cathrin. I often times make the mistake of waiting until I am unrealistically motivated and excited to make a video, waiting for that perfect "mood" to be in, and end up not even making one. It's time to change that.
Yes!!! Make. That. Video!!
My mom told me one time when I was in this state to “make one place you can always go to and it is exactly how you want it”. It could be a room, closet, corner, outside … whatever. Just a place to find peace.
ohhhh love that thought! thanks for sharing!
I LOVE this. Mine is my music room/studio, it’s the one place my kids aren’t allowed in unsupervised.
Yes! That's so important!
Love this!!!!
I just upload twice a month now rather than five per month.
You let your viewers realize that you can feel, be vulnerable, happy and sad. Thank you for setting a real example for all of us🙏🏻
I used to look up to you as a RUclipsr, and now I look up to you as a person. Thank you for all you do, and please take care of yourself. You seem like type of person I would want to be friends with.
I really like seeing this because as a smaller channel who isn't monetized, I haven't uploaded much this month due to personal things but I'm also still in the middle of filming a video that takes longer than just an average weekly video.
That was a lot. I subbed back in the "how to grow on RUclips" days, so I'm out of the loop. Just, be healthy. I loved your outro teaser. Very nice.
500,000 SUBSCRIBERS ON THE WAY‼️💙
RUclips should allow Subscribers to comment on why they are leaving so we can adjust if necessary. Keep up the good work.
We care SO MUCH MORE about you as a person that what and how much you can produce. Less content from a kinder to herself cathrin, is something I can absolutely get behind ❤🙌
Emotional exhaustion is as real as physical exhaustion - and living in chaos heightens this. Sleeping for 12 hours when it hits is reasonable, be kind to yourself when this happens. And thanks as always for going through your analytics. You doing this has really removed the mystery for me and helped me understand how to read my own analytics in a meaningful way.
Keep going girl.i recently started my channel and i have learned a lot from you
Hey Cathrin, I totally relate to how you've been feeling, hope you start to feel 'lighter' real soon...
Do you think you're feeling like this purely because of the mess you're in with the house or do you think there's an underlying problem that's enhancing the feeling of being all over the place with the house...
I really think you've done the right thing by taking a break, but don't let taking a break stress you out because of the RUclips conveyor belt that you feel you should be on.
You're a talented creator and your true following will stick with you while you sort yourself out 😊
Wishing you much happiness in December 🤗
My husband and I did 2 live-in-flip houses back to back (the second while I was pregnant 🫣). It is NOT for the faint of heart!

Emotional roller coasters are tough! Sending you all the best! Hang in there!💗
Thanks for being real, raw and authentic.
Ugh that dark feeling when you just can’t get out of bed is too familiar to me. So sorry you’ve been going through this.

Keep taking care of yourself & mental health Cathrin🥰💖
I am currently going through the same thing right now! I just fell back into a deep depression and anxiety symptoms theses past few days. && I’m just getting started with my channel. So I wanted to upload consistently but hearing you be vulnerable about your mental health gives me the courage to be honest about my mental health.
I slept for 2 days sleep. Just woke up a few hours ago….thank you again. I understand. I truly do understand
Is it weird to say I’m proud of you for taking the time you need? Because I am 😂
I’ve been watching through your vlogmas from the past two years and you’ve inspired me to give it a go so I’m selfishly hoping you’ll be able to do it this year, but more than that I so appreciate your honesty with where you’re at and demonstrating respecting your limits. That’s a message the whole world needs ❤️
I feel the same-proud of her for being such a great example and knowing where she’s at and what she needs!!
Thank you for keeping things so real Cathrin. Take care of yourself! ❤
Love the analytics, especially seeing the real life example and what happens when you have an off schedule :)
Thank you so much for this video. Yes focus on yourself and your self care and mental health. Upload when you can, I've been following you for years and appreciate everything you create for us. Health first. Here to support you. I can also relate, its been a tough couple of weeks/ months for me aswell - I am also living in transition room/ place until I move into a new home.

Just starting out but I’m glad I caught this video! Thank you!!!
As you can see, we understand. We will be right here no matter what. Take care of yourself Cathrin💖
You’ll get back in your groove 😊. Season changed, both in the natural and spiritually can throw you off.

As a small youtuber, these videos are so helpful. But...I love all of your content. Upload when you can, and I can't wait to see!!!

You been pushing hard all your life. It is OK to rest take time off and reset. Great channel excellent content. Don't get burnout, you are at your best when you are free to be yourself..
100%. Didn’t upload once for 2 weeks and my channel crashed. It’s never recovered. If you aren’t posting 2-3 times a week, forget ever making it!!
Any change takes time to adjust and you have had major changes. Love your content Catherine. It inspires me to edit when I feel demotivated.
Thank you for sharing about how you've been feeling! It's brave to open up and be vulnerable! You are showing others its okay to share the lows as well as the highs because we all go through them and it's nice to not feel alone!

Good video. Thanks for the transparency and the breakdown.
Can never get bored of these occasional analytic videos😂❤
😂
You are the most genuine and honest content creator most are not like you and that is why I watch you ❤.. I love how u share your your life and feelings , ups and downs, thts what being human should b all about .. thank you for just being you ..😊

I’m seeing this in myself right now in life and it’s hard. I feel you so much. ❤ I’m struggling to upload and I have no idea what it is.
Love your channel, Cathrin, and thanks for being an inspiration. I got 5 new subscribers in October, which for me is not bad and shows my channel going in the right direction. Keep up your good work and remember that smooth seas never made a great sailor!
Thank you for being honest while checking out your analytics, Cathrin. I have been consistent/inconsistent due to my 9-6 being high demanding. Now, I have to use my timing wisely, and it’s hard as a perfectionist content creator. Okay, can’t wait to see the next upload🙌🏾‼️
Oh I hear you!! Many tears indeed…
♥️ be kind to yourself
We love you so much and care deeply for you. I'm glad the "running away" was a joke. I understand your thoughts on vlogmas, totally understand if you cannot do it
Take a deep breath you can only do what you can. Don't be so hard on yourself, the world, your house is not going away just as we are not going away. The chaos is what makes us feel uneasy take one step at a time.
I do sims gaming on my channel and your content has really help me a lot .Thank you.
Your amazing and your doing great!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing ♥️ always love your videos.
I love when you make these types of video. A mix of vulnerability, fun and real value.
I really appreciate that you share this information because it normalizes how to deal with the numbers that can be challenging like losing subs or getting/not getting likes. I get a lot of inspiration from you! 🙌
Thank you for sharing you motivate me to keep going with my RUclips channel
This hit home Cathrin , I’ve been going through some issues with missing home after 11 yrs of being in Australia. This has had effect on my motivation to keep uploading.
Wishing you well and sending you ❤️
Thank you for being transparent! You are amazing!
Things get in the way. Take your time and stay focused ✨💛✨
Thank you for teaching me to be a real RUclipsr. To follow my heart and to be kind to myself. I’ll always be a +1 for Cathrin Manning ❤
Good for you being open and honest with your struggles. I know not everybody is going through a rough time but those of us that are, it's good to know we aren't alone! I've adapted the same philosophy where if I don't have a video ready, I just upload it when it is ready or wait till my next normal upload day. To be fair, I only have 80 subscribers so not a lot of people care/notice if I miss one but I'm not going to stress myself out about it. People need to be understanding that life happens and even though "it's your job"...people take sick days from their 9-5's all the time. It's NORMAL!
Hang in there, Cathrin! Sometimes that's a huge win in itself. ❤
I love your work ethic, even if you’re not totally feeling it! 💕 11 subscribers is all I have at the moment, and I am proud to have even those 😂 I replay your words in my head every time I finish editing a video, hoping to jump right into the next one, and never do. But it’s ok! I know you’ll make another video that I can watch, and retry to motivate myself to do better, again!! Your honesty inspires me heaps, please know that 💕
I’m so happy to see you posting ! Girl last year when we got hit in TX with the winter storm ⛈️ my kitchen was demolished because of the damage. Our ceiling too. It was Chaos ! I was so on edge with all the stuff out of place an it was a very dark time for me too. It’s nice that you have a space that feels like home an before you know it your home will be done ✅ an you will be thriving bb!!! Always look forward to your vlogs girl you’re inspiring
Living in a construction zone is extremely depressing. I hope you are feeling better today ❤
I Appreciate The Way You Broke Down the Numbers, that was Helpful
❤
I’ll still be here the next time you come back from a break!!
Hey! Excited for this video 🥰
I love your honesty, the truth most don't say it out here on RUclips, all we see is everyone constantly uploading so I did the same like them but it took a toll on me and I would wonder if its just me cz nobody's saying anything. I chose to take care of myself if I had to keep going. Thanks Kate, love your openness, take care
I hope you get to feeling better! Thank you for filming this one and giving us a glimpse into what this looks like for you. I am chronically ill and I am sure I will have gaps in my uploads from time to time. We are all human and we must take care of ourselves. thank you.
I am like you as a creator in that, I want to share my struggles and be real and not put a BS filter so others know we ALL struggle at times. I also battle feeling like I can't do that because "RUclips" will "punish" my channel for not cranking out content that falls into my value proposition. As a former vlogger, I miss that dialog...also I would LOVE those numbers..lol. I have been grinding for almost 8 years on this platform. All the best to you, you are not alone in these feelings as a creator. -John
Dear Catherine, I want you to be kind to yourself, you've been through a lot in your life and you deserve a break and a good rest. I will always be here and wait for your new videos with an excitement, because I love how realistic and lovely you are as a person. Your personality is why I'm here, whatever you post and whenever you post, I want you to know that. Virtual hug 🌞🤗🌼
You are an amazing young woman! Truly!
When you have a lot going on it’s ok! We’ll always be here whenever you can be! I’m struggling too. Had surgery and 3 deaths in the family! You’re not alone! 💕
Take care, Josh! That sounds like a tough season 💞
@@irisschram It has been! Thanks Iris! 💕
I appreciate how raw & honest you are❤
Gurl! Hang in there. For us watching you, it doesn’t matter if your vlogging about painting a pile of cow sh*t gold, we watch you and stick with you because you are real, open about your analytics (suuuper helpful for a small channel like us) and you are honest. Good day, bad day, whatever-we all have them. But Aaron and I stick with you thru thick and thin. Cheers from VA!
One of my most favorite quotes is kinda like »The world needs you cracked open« (Rebecca Campbell) and I can feel this so much! Sending you all the ♥️♥️♥️
oh I love that!! thanks for sharing!
@@CathrinManning aaaw was not sure to post this but so happy you liked it 🥰♥️♥️♥️✨
Nice! Thanks for your analytic report!
I think I’m afraid of putting my whole heart into something and it failing, so I fail myself instead. Failing because I didn’t put my effort in is easier to swallow than failing because I’m not good enough. I know if I don’t try I can’t get better.
Times of transition are super hard! It totally makes sense that your "normal" schedule/life etc would be disrupted with your move and everything, and I agree with everyone else who says its important to give yourself compassion and grace and know that this is a normal human response to change. Also, wondering if Vlogmas doesn't have to be all or nothing - maybe you could do every other day, or just make short videos every day instead of going all out? Do what works for you and makes it fun and not so stressful!
You’re amazing ❤
I really like how you dive deep into analytics in these videos. I can understand how chaos can be SO hard, I’m a bit of an obsessive organizer and when I can’t control that I get so stressed. I’m curious why your monetization is turned off on that other analytics video?
I was wondering the same thing.
1st and love you so much always put ur self first nothing else will work if your not ok
preachhhh
How about do a series of the doggos for vlogmas! easier, less mental energy and you'll have extra great videos to look back on and smile :) xoxo
First Cathrin Viewer 🙏🏽
I feel you in this 😩
Hi Cathrin good morning happy Wednesday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Missed you 🖤
just what me was looking 4. tysm blessings1!!!
edit: the info what the title says
SO excited but bummed I got here an hour late!!!!
You know you are putting too much pressure on yourself, right..? :) ?Just take the time to enjoy this chapter of your life! Have fun with turning this house in your safe, happy place. If that means you can only upload once a month, so be it! I mean..what's the worst that can happen? You have several income streams, so you will not have money problems. One thing that stuck with me since I was in my 20's is that if you are happy, everyone around you will be happy too. Your subscribers will be happy if you manage to post once a month, as long as they see you doing well...they will never prefer to see 8 videos a month in which you are struggling. Be kind to yourself and take a pill of "fukitol" once in a while :D
Almost 500ksub excited 😆
Honestly I’m in my 20s too and here lately I have felt like I been failing myself. I really needed to hear this I’m trying to start my own channel. I have been so mean to myself because I have only been getting shorts up. Love your videos they feel like a safe way place to me.
For me, in regards to your 'moving into your house video', I liked your video as my way as saying "I like your house, I'm happy you're moving into your house", you know, THAT sort of thing. Hope this helps you in your hypothesizing as to why your likes for that video are higher than your comment engagement.
On a personal note, I totally get it about the state of clutter in your home impacting your mental state. If my environment isn't pretty, I become so depressed. Always have.
Love and Hugs.
I love this type of video where you show your analytics, it is super inspirational. Your still smashing it, here is one more comment for your comment count. ;-)
