1.)Gentle talk I love gentle talk, I do that all the time And results are always good 2.) self discipline I’m working on it, it takes hard work But it’s worth it 3.) communication Yeah agree it is really really important Learn how to communicate girls 4.) creativity whimsy Yeah agree i love creativity I love drawing, singing, makeup etc. Nurturing that will bring you lots of fun 5.) resilience Yeah totally agree.
It's sad that communication degrees are often looked down upon or thought of as "women degrees" by some people. Communication and how to be tactful with others really seems to have been forgotten about. When I took communication classes in college, they were some of the most valuable skills i learned.
Thank you so much for your videos! My dad constantly refers to anything feminine as weak or bad, but yet he pushes me to be his definition of feminine. This definitely damaged the way I saw femininity and made me want to be anything but. So thank you so much for putting femininity in a positive light and changing my perspective. 💖
I actually think there’s a lot we can learn from young girls. They are usually more confident in who they are, and sometimes we lose that confident attitude as we grow up. Young girls and children know their self worth, and are unapologetically themselves💜
Thank Q Ma'am. Your contribution to the world, helping people to realise, they don't have to follow some agendas, and can just be their natural selves. God Bless.
This channel is EXACTLY what I needed... Thank you so much! I was a total tomboy as a kid but have been trying to grow my graciousness and other feminine qualities because I know in my heart that's who I want to be.
I feel that being a mom in this day and age (with lack of village support) requires you to become a wonder woman, and lose a lot of femininity. That's probably how marriages start drifting apart too. If only there was more village support. It's not easy to hold it together when it feels like you are mentally and physically tortured by your circumstances. It brings up resilience so much that you end up a wonder woman. As a woman with kids I relate a lot to wonder woman because of that
Gentleness is indeed undervalued by society. You know who notices it? The elderly. I work with them daily, and when I was in nursing school one of my teachers said “always touch with love”. When people are frail, sick, vulnerable or afraid, gentle touch, voice and presence is a lifeline through fear and darkness.
I feel like Katniss Everdeen is actually an example of an incredibly gentle woman. She always remains gentle and calm in the face of conflict and DOES NOT want to fight, she is doing it all to protect her little sister, like any mother or big sister would! She is also incredibly disciplined and calm, doesn't swear or yell at people and is resilient to the point that she eventually grows up to have her own children even though she had a traumatising past. She is not about fighting and being loud and living in the moment *at all*, Katniss is doing it all for a better future for her sister, and eventually, her own children.
Totally agree 100% i dont think she really thought too deep about it. Katniss is nonviolent except when it comes to life and death. She is incredibly sensitive to human suffering. she just detaches from others to stay sane. Katniss isnt really the alpha female huntresss the media irl made her out to be. She is just a scared young girl gathering her courage to survive. Her reluctance to motherhood was not a " sneaky feminist agenda". She lived in a world where children died of starvatio, so she felt she would rather stay unmarried and a virgin than to raise children to be killed. But thats not how it turned out, she had kids when the capitol was overthrown and she loved them! Katniss has always been a character I felt close too. She is a nurterer in a more physical sense ( providing food for others) which included attaining food and preparing it. she filled the provider role but only with the help of others around her ( like Gale and Peeta, both males) due to her fathers death. I think people who havent read the books get the wrong idea about what she represents.
Exactly I love Katniss very much. She was strong and resilient although she was not obviously feminine she wasn't aggressive and didn't display typically masculine qualities without a reason. She was selfless, caring, and sensitive it's just that the card life handed her made her more detached from displaying feminine qualities. She wasn't trying to fight a patriarchy or be some hardcore feminist she was just a smart girl who was quick on her feet, courageous enough to not let her fear control her, and more than anything she just wanted protect her sister and I think that's what's most admirable about her.
@@gigijanae1460 I mean, she was trying to fight the patriarchy as in a system that actively hurt her and her family / the ones she tried to protect but she wouldn't have dared to try that before offering herself up as a tribute out of fear for her sister. her fight against the system started *after* that.
@@Saatkraehen I'm referring to how Katniss is made to be some feminist "patriarchy smashing" icon when she is far from that. The thing was that the government wasn't some patriarchy. It was a tyrannical dictatorship. She wasn't trying to fight against a government that was oppressing women, she was fighting a government that was oppressing PEOPLE. Modern day feminist are fighting a government they believe is supposedly oppressing women and taking our rights away. Katniss was more than that.
The same thought came to my mind! Actually, that was the best thing about the movie in my opinion - the thoughtful way that her femininity was shown, unlike the way that most female super heroes are portrayed (at least from what I’ve seen). My guess is that the reference might have been off the cuff while feeing under pressure; I know I have misspoken similarly before.😆
I'm 26, a Christian and I grew up the only girl and last born with two older brothers. I have some tomboy traits, but I want to change and be as feminine as God created me to be.... this is hard 😫 but possible 😌. I will make it, by God's grace. 🦋🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻
I love the message that the Lord has put on your heart & your boldness to share! Your channel has truly inspired me to cultivate my femininity and all that comes with it, thank you :) God bless
I’m having a coffee with you! 😊♥️ purple is a lovely color on you. Could you please make a video(s) going deeper on the topic of handling disagreements and standing up for oneself in a feminine way? I formerly was very rough around the edges and stood up for myself but I was like an unhinged dragon. 😅 I would appreciate any input you have about handling conflict with people outside of one’s family circle.
I really appreciate how you address, acknowledge, and dissolve any resistance to the things you say before you say them. You explain beautifully how gentleness does NOT equal weakness, and I’m really glad you addressed it
I love your videos on feminine women and being a Christian. I would like to know where you find comedians to watch {who are not too gross} and what music you listen to. Thank you for your videos...they are well-thought-out.
I just found your channel and i just love you!!!❤❤❤ Youre a Christian woman, and that's beautiful, i find myself to be a woman of science. There is something so wonderful about how a Christian woman's words can reflect an anti-theist woman's thoughts. The traits/instincs of femininity are something that, for the most part, have always came naturally to me. Id always deny it because i thought thats what i was supposed to do in this culture....i was a radical feminist in high school. A few years ago i threw everything i thought i should be out the window and truly embraced my natural instincs and inclinations and be what ive always known i wanted to be and ive never felt so complete.❤❤❤
This is so encouraging, My heart receives joy every time i listen to your advise. And i want to change my behaviour , because every time i do as you recomended ,i feel a deep peace inside of me. Thank you so much and a big hug Thank you Hannah from Germany
You've been helping me so much recently, Cait ❤️ I've been battling depression for a couple of months now and when I first discovered your channel, I finally felt like I had something to work on in myself, to become a better human being, another chance to live life differently, one step at a time. You're a very powerful and talented young woman and I wish you happiness and love, always!
I always get so excited when I see your videos !!!! Thank you so much for letting GODS light to shine through you❤🙏. You're amazing and I appreciate you and your content ❤. Thanks for being my sister and a light in my life, God bless🙏❤
8 months ago, I watched one of your videos and feel tired of watching it as I could not understand what it was about. But now when I am wakening and noticing that I am stepping into another stage of my life, I myself seek and grow my femininity. And my friend recommended your channel and I love all of your videos nowww. Thank yu
thank you so much for your videos. they helped so much with (re-)discovering myself and my femininity. i like how you always stress that femininity ≠ girliness (i'm not girly at all). after past sexual abuse it's been really hard accepting that i'll grow up into a woman with everything that goes with that. your videos teach and help a lot during this process and i'm finally starting to feel comfortable as a girl/becoming woman :-)
Well presented topic, Caitlyn...however, there is a certain type of person that one shouldn't bother having to explain hurt feelings & such...the NARCISSIST...it's a waste of time...they lie, excuse, gaslight or ignore the negative feelings they incur. 😰
As someone with a multiple personality disorder, it can be extremely hard for me to keep control over my emotions. But thanks to that it makes it easier for me to express it to those that need to hear what I'm feeling. Some days it's hard for me to control it other days it's much easier.
Can you list your favorite books that promote feminine qualities? I know Jane Austin books are like that, but wanna know anymore books that do so as well 😊
Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma are excellent books by Jane Austen. You can’t go wrong with any of them. There are countless film and TV adaptation of her work too.
I've just discovered your channel, and it is amazing, you are a wonderful woman and thank you for doing this in the name of femininity, something women seem to forget to embrace today, and it is important to keep it alive 💖
What I really like about you, is your way to infer your thoughts non-forced towards other people's thoughts. That's why I don't end up questioning everything you say (as an "ex-feminist"), but thinking it thoroughly.
Hey there! I've been watching you're channel ever since you created it - and recently I was just reading your blog and I stumbled upon your story of "Surviving to Thriving", and I can relate so much. My life is starting to become more free with work slowing down now in the summer time, and I just was wondering if you could make a video or write on your blog about how to deal with feeling guilty about having more free time as a woman? I find myself so unnecessarily stressed about having more free time to nurture my feminine skills and to get back to things I love; cooking, baking, sewing/quilting, gardening and cleaning...did you have a similar internal process when you transitioned to being a homemaker? I feel the stress from people in my world constantly expecting women to be career driven and "pulling her weight" in society from that perspective. Do you have any tips to reduce the anxiety from not living up to these expectations that are placed on women?
Most parts of one's characteristic can be perceived as skills and as every skill, feminine (and masculine) qualities can be improved with practice. Time and repetition, together with dedication and discipline work wonders.
I love your videos, I'm always looking forward to them :'D such a good message delivered in such a respecting manner. You truly are full of gentleness and femininity and I hope your message reachs lots and lots of girls ❤️
I really appreciate the advice to let the girl in you go and welcome the woman. I'm in my late 20s now and I often have to remind myself if there is something I feel I still need to "grow up" about, I didnt miss the boat. I think its easy now to think that maybe I've done all the growing I can or lost the years that I had the opportunity to change. I constantly have to remind myself that growth is gradual. I see a woman in myself in many ways but I am also still a girl in other ways and I have a lifetime to grow into the woman I want to be
This is so beautiful and true! When you were talking about gentleness, I just kept thinking about how the Blessed Virgin Mary is often described as gentle. I feel she is the perfect feminine woman for us to look up to as an example. After all, she raised the savior of mankind!
I like the message that self care is about self discipline and doing things that you don’t always want to do. I think it brings so much more peace of mind than material objects or spa days.
I have to ask, who is/are your mentors on this, specifically? Texts, people, etc. I 100% agree with you, and I just want to know at 24 how you knew what I didn’t as a self-proclaimed Christian woman and wife. Thank you so much.
For every point you've brought up, im reminded of a trial in my life that God has allowed in, so that they may help harbor those characteristics... Long suffering (through family issues), self discipline (to obtain mental happiness), creativity & confidence (throughout self image issues)... I know God is preparing me to be a virtuous wife - I know these trials are shaping my character - and I pray that God would throw more my way because I want to be the best mother I can be, I want to be the best wife I can be, I want to be the best feminine woman I can be. And the most amazing part is that God has placed these things on my heart so early in my life. I am sixteen, and I can't wait to be, well, me.
This is the earliest ive been, can u make a video on hairstyles lol your hair always looks great and I'd like some little tutorials if it isn't too personal ♡
Listening to you speak, is making me realize all of the core values i wish to instill in my daughter. These are conversations I wish my mother would have had with me. Will you do a video about core values to instill in young men?
There's a book called the Bingo Theory by Mimi Ikonn. You might be interested. It talks about the femininity and masculinity and how girls can have a masculine dominate energy and how even males can be lead by their feminine energy more than their masculine, vice versa. As a woman, I am definitely more feminine than masculine but I still act more masculine at work, but outside I am naturally feminine. This book is more so based on a theory (not scientifically based), but I thought you might find it interesting. Many blessings to you. God bless you 🥳🙏💜
I want to binge watch your videos but i already watched them all :( Also i think it would help people if you made vids diving deeper into all these concepts and made them a bit more concrete (along with your regular vids ofc), so they can apply these things to their lives better. This might just be my interest in psychology talking, but i think it would be more helpful
Feminine women are just intoxicating for us, in a way I can't describe, I guess that's our nature. The problem is, with all of the modern demands in the corporative world, and several other factors, I think that femininity is disappearing very quickly. I would like to see a video about this, and how femiminity can be balanced with what's consider success nowadays.
Im interested when did you decide to stay at home and be a homekeeper? Btw it is obvious you are very smart the way you talk and explain everyting is just beautiful to listen to!
New sub here! I'm am so so so so soooooo thankful that I found you channel. This was a complete accident. Being a college student and working, I need a channel like this due to the current social era that we are in❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate this message so much. As a feminist, I believe that everyone, regardless of gender, deserves the right to choose our own path and be our most authentic selves, wherever on the spectrum between masculine or feminine we may fall, and whatever biology we were born with. It is so true that femininity is dismissed no matter what gender you are as weaker and more frivolous than masculinity, and that carries forward today with so many believing that the only way to be a powerful woman is to be masculine. Thank you so much for taking back the narrative to show the value and true strength of femininity, and potentially make it more accessible to anyone who feels that this is them. I personally have struggled as someone who naturally has always had a mix of masculine and feminine traits and pursuits, and have been told by people that a) I had to pick one extreme instead of dividing my after school activities between martial arts, music, and sewing club, and loving them all equally, or b) was only cool and worthy of being confident when I was taking part in more traditionally-considered masculine activities and expressing those traits. There are both men and women and other people in my life who feel authentically feminine, and they still struggle with giving themselves permission to be feminine after having been taught for so long that it is weak and frivolous to do so. So thank you so much for your love and gentleness in spreading your message. Lots of love and hugs x
I feel like modern feminism has been quite negative towards traditionally feminine women, and it doesn't seem to value femininity as a virtue that is just as powerful as masculinity, which is sad. Fire is a powerful thing, but it doesn't mean that the ocean isn't powerful because it's not hot. Femininity is equally as powerful as masculinity, it's just different. We shouldn't seek to be more masculine to be strong women, we should just be embracing whatever qualities we're naturally born with as individuals, whether that's 100% feminine, 100% masculine, or more likely, any combination in between. Just be yourself friend 😊
Absolutely agree with your points. We all have the Masculine and the Feminine within us, it's all about finding a balance and understanding the need of the hour.
Thank you so much for these videos, they are really helping me in my journey with trying to embrace my femininity! It's a long road, but I'll get there eventually!
What kind of bible do you use? I have had Christian influence in my life, but it's always been hard for me to lean into it. Your videos touch my heart and are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah i totally see your points but i never neccesarily thought of gentleness as inherently feminine because the 1. Person i think of as gentle is Jesus Christ. the lamb. The son of God. I think its a trait of holiness.
@@Hopeful-w7h I noticed that too. I've been thinking about gentleness lately, I was glad she talked about it. Scripture says that gentleness and a quiet spirit are very precious to God.
When I reflect on Jesus, who is the same as the Holy Spirit, I actually find it difficult to think of him as masculine or feminine. He is just perfection personified. The best of both. Wish I could find the heart emoji to conclude my comment
I think she was referring to 1 Peter 3:3-4 - “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes, but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.” - These are spiritual qualities but were also attributed to women.
Everything she said about gentleness is true: Once, I was blamed for getting someone in trouble at school when I didn't do anything and the girl was innocent. Many people were angry at me. The girl who got in trouble came up and asked me about it to know my point of view, so I told her what I knew with gentleness and I empathized with her situation, since technically we were in the same boat. Turns out we became closer because of our honesty towards each other and gentleness.
Just found your channel today. Love it. Love our blog too. I certainly agree with your vision. Will be having a marathon on your channel. Thanks for your channel.
I actually still play dolls... when it comes to whimsy and cetivity it is such an important aspect for me, I love to read, collect bok and dolls and spend time in nature
I am so gratefull for ur channel. May God bless u and the work you do. As a muslim, it makes me super happy everytime I realise the amount of values we share. Keep going❤
Hi, I love your channel, it's such a breath of fresh air! What would you think about doing a book recommendations video? Or perhaps quiet time tips or Bible study videos? Love from New Zealand!
For those who don’t have time:
1) Gentleness
2) Self- discipline
3) Communication
4) creativity and whimsy
5) resilience
I have time and watched the video, but having a ready made summary is always helpful and appreciated :)
Thanks

thank you so much for your videos. they helped so much with (re-)discovering myself and my femininity. i like how you always stress that femininity ≠ girliness (i'm not girly at all). after past sexual abuse it's been really hard accepting that i'll grow up into a woman with everything that goes with that. your videos teach and help a lot during this process and i'm finally starting to feel comfortable as a girl/becoming woman :-)
Well presented topic, Caitlyn...however, there is a certain type of person that one shouldn't bother having to explain hurt feelings & such...the NARCISSIST...it's a waste of time...they lie, excuse, gaslight or ignore the negative feelings they incur. 😰
As someone with a multiple personality disorder, it can be extremely hard for me to keep control over my emotions. But thanks to that it makes it easier for me to express it to those that need to hear what I'm feeling. Some days it's hard for me to control it other days it's much easier.
I truly needed to hear this. There is so much growth I must do in my femenine journey
Can you list your favorite books that promote feminine qualities? I know Jane Austin books are like that, but wanna know anymore books that do so as well 😊
love this idea!
Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma are excellent books by Jane Austen. You can’t go wrong with any of them. There are countless film and TV adaptation of her work too.
The confident woman by Joyce Meyer is a book I would recommend🤗💐
I think anything by the Brontë sisters is great!
I love you, you're such an inspiration to me and I'm looking forward to all your videos.
Also, the purple is back YAY! 💜💜💜
I've just discovered your channel, and it is amazing, you are a wonderful woman and thank you for doing this in the name of femininity, something women seem to forget to embrace today, and it is important to keep it alive 💖
What I really like about you, is your way to infer your thoughts non-forced towards other people's thoughts. That's why I don't end up questioning everything you say (as an "ex-feminist"), but thinking it thoroughly.
That is a BEAUTIFUL DOG !! I love big dogs 🥰
Hey there! I've been watching you're channel ever since you created it - and recently I was just reading your blog and I stumbled upon your story of "Surviving to Thriving", and I can relate so much. My life is starting to become more free with work slowing down now in the summer time, and I just was wondering if you could make a video or write on your blog about how to deal with feeling guilty about having more free time as a woman? I find myself so unnecessarily stressed about having more free time to nurture my feminine skills and to get back to things I love; cooking, baking, sewing/quilting, gardening and cleaning...did you have a similar internal process when you transitioned to being a homemaker? I feel the stress from people in my world constantly expecting women to be career driven and "pulling her weight" in society from that perspective. Do you have any tips to reduce the anxiety from not living up to these expectations that are placed on women?
Love the communication tip! So many women need to hear this
Most parts of one's characteristic can be perceived as skills and as every skill, feminine (and masculine) qualities can be improved with practice.
Time and repetition, together with dedication and discipline work wonders.
I love your videos, I'm always looking forward to them :'D such a good message delivered in such a respecting manner.
You truly are full of gentleness and femininity and I hope your message reachs lots and lots of girls ❤️
You remind me of Giselle from Enchanted but a more gentle and "real" version. Enchanted is my favorite movie which is why I now love you haha
I really appreciate the advice to let the girl in you go and welcome the woman. I'm in my late 20s now and I often have to remind myself if there is something I feel I still need to "grow up" about, I didnt miss the boat. I think its easy now to think that maybe I've done all the growing I can or lost the years that I had the opportunity to change. I constantly have to remind myself that growth is gradual. I see a woman in myself in many ways but I am also still a girl in other ways and I have a lifetime to grow into the woman I want to be
Where do you get your clothes? How to have a big wardrobe like yours! It’s lovely
Swan Queen thank you!! I have been collecting my thrifted clothing since high school! Maybe I should do a thrift VLOG!
I also love your clothings. Please share. Love from India.:)
I absolutely adored what you had to say and you have inspired me to try a little harder to be a proper lady! 🥰
This is so beautiful and true! When you were talking about gentleness, I just kept thinking about how the Blessed Virgin Mary is often described as gentle. I feel she is the perfect feminine woman for us to look up to as an example. After all, she raised the savior of mankind!
I like the message that self care is about self discipline and doing things that you don’t always want to do. I think it brings so much more peace of mind than material objects or spa days.
I agree with the 3rd on strongly! Holding grudges are a big no in relationship. The silent treatment isn’t going to work .
I feel like sitting down with a friend, when I watch your videos. Thank you for your content!
I have to ask, who is/are your mentors on this, specifically? Texts, people, etc. I 100% agree with you, and I just want to know at 24 how you knew what I didn’t as a self-proclaimed Christian woman and wife. Thank you so much.
For every point you've brought up, im reminded of a trial in my life that God has allowed in, so that they may help harbor those characteristics... Long suffering (through family issues), self discipline (to obtain mental happiness), creativity & confidence (throughout self image issues)... I know God is preparing me to be a virtuous wife - I know these trials are shaping my character - and I pray that God would throw more my way because I want to be the best mother I can be, I want to be the best wife I can be, I want to be the best feminine woman I can be. And the most amazing part is that God has placed these things on my heart so early in my life. I am sixteen, and I can't wait to be, well, me.
Yes, I agree with you. I've been thinking of these very thoughts and I noticed was going to few of those traits mentioned are fruit of the spirit.
This is the earliest ive been, can u make a video on hairstyles lol your hair always looks great and I'd like some little tutorials if it isn't too personal ♡
Listening to you speak, is making me realize all of the core values i wish to instill in my daughter. These are conversations I wish my mother would have had with me. Will you do a video about core values to instill in young men?
There's a book called the Bingo Theory by Mimi Ikonn. You might be interested. It talks about the femininity and masculinity and how girls can have a masculine dominate energy and how even males can be lead by their feminine energy more than their masculine, vice versa.
As a woman, I am definitely more feminine than masculine but I still act more masculine at work, but outside I am naturally feminine.
This book is more so based on a theory (not scientifically based), but I thought you might find it interesting. Many blessings to you. God bless you 🥳🙏💜
I want to binge watch your videos but i already watched them all :(
Also i think it would help people if you made vids diving deeper into all these concepts and made them a bit more concrete (along with your regular vids ofc), so they can apply these things to their lives better. This might just be my interest in psychology talking, but i think it would be more helpful
Nvm i went on your blog lol
Feminine women are just intoxicating for us, in a way I can't describe, I guess that's our nature. The problem is, with all of the modern demands in the corporative world, and several other factors, I think that femininity is disappearing very quickly. I would like to see a video about this, and how femiminity can be balanced with what's consider success nowadays.
Beautiful advice. Thank you again for a lovely video. Can't wait for the next one!
Im interested when did you decide to stay at home and be a homekeeper?
Btw it is obvious you are very smart the way you talk and explain everyting is just beautiful to listen to!
New sub here! I'm am so so so so soooooo thankful that I found you channel. This was a complete accident. Being a college student and working, I need a channel like this due to the current social era that we are in❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! What a gorgeous top! Nice video.😉 Thanks for reminding us what a positive impact we can have on others with our wonderful feminine traits.
I wish I could be like that! I’m always angry, probably because I have to work. However, I love your voice! It’s so soothing.
Royal 💙 blue is soooo your color!!!!
Yes I agree 👏 She looks glowing ❤
I appreciate this message so much. As a feminist, I believe that everyone, regardless of gender, deserves the right to choose our own path and be our most authentic selves, wherever on the spectrum between masculine or feminine we may fall, and whatever biology we were born with. It is so true that femininity is dismissed no matter what gender you are as weaker and more frivolous than masculinity, and that carries forward today with so many believing that the only way to be a powerful woman is to be masculine. Thank you so much for taking back the narrative to show the value and true strength of femininity, and potentially make it more accessible to anyone who feels that this is them.
I personally have struggled as someone who naturally has always had a mix of masculine and feminine traits and pursuits, and have been told by people that a) I had to pick one extreme instead of dividing my after school activities between martial arts, music, and sewing club, and loving them all equally, or b) was only cool and worthy of being confident when I was taking part in more traditionally-considered masculine activities and expressing those traits.
There are both men and women and other people in my life who feel authentically feminine, and they still struggle with giving themselves permission to be feminine after having been taught for so long that it is weak and frivolous to do so. So thank you so much for your love and gentleness in spreading your message. Lots of love and hugs x
I feel like modern feminism has been quite negative towards traditionally feminine women, and it doesn't seem to value femininity as a virtue that is just as powerful as masculinity, which is sad. Fire is a powerful thing, but it doesn't mean that the ocean isn't powerful because it's not hot. Femininity is equally as powerful as masculinity, it's just different. We shouldn't seek to be more masculine to be strong women, we should just be embracing whatever qualities we're naturally born with as individuals, whether that's 100% feminine, 100% masculine, or more likely, any combination in between. Just be yourself friend 😊
Absolutely agree with your points. We all have the Masculine and the Feminine within us, it's all about finding a balance and understanding the need of the hour.
TheInspirefly you do not need feminism. God made men and women. And all humans are equal but different.
Oh no this is about one gender don’t twist it...biological women....not men or some made up gender. Just stop.
TheInspirefly same I totally agree with you 😘have a good day 🙃
Thank you so much for these videos, they are really helping me in my journey with trying to embrace my femininity! It's a long road, but I'll get there eventually!
What kind of bible do you use? I have had Christian influence in my life, but it's always been hard for me to lean into it. Your videos touch my heart and are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing!
So far my favourite contribution. God bless you!
Great list! I especially like the communication, creativity, and whimsy part! Also appreciate you including your dog!
Please can you film something for teens in particular Xx
We need details on that top.
Great video!
Tamarah Bryan too sweet! Unfortunately it is thrifted from a few years ago.. the brand is “A. Byer!”
@@MrsMidwest Aw, thank you. You look amazing.
Yeah i totally see your points but i never neccesarily thought of gentleness as inherently feminine because the 1. Person i think of as gentle is Jesus Christ. the lamb. The son of God. I think its a trait of holiness.
Xochitl Rizo Agreed- gentleness and self discipline (self control) are fruits of the spirit.
@@Hopeful-w7h I noticed that too. I've been thinking about gentleness lately, I was glad she talked about it. Scripture says that gentleness and a quiet spirit are very precious to God.
When I reflect on Jesus, who is the same as the Holy Spirit, I actually find it difficult to think of him as masculine or feminine. He is just perfection personified. The best of both. Wish I could find the heart emoji to conclude my comment
I think she was referring to 1 Peter 3:3-4 - “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes, but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.” - These are spiritual qualities but were also attributed to women.
You are always beautiful but that blouse style and color are just amazing on you!!
Everything she said about gentleness is true: Once, I was blamed for getting someone in trouble at school when I didn't do anything and the girl was innocent. Many people were angry at me. The girl who got in trouble came up and asked me about it to know my point of view, so I told her what I knew with gentleness and I empathized with her situation, since technically we were in the same boat. Turns out we became closer because of our honesty towards each other and gentleness.
Just found your channel today. Love it. Love our blog too. I certainly agree with your vision. Will be having a marathon on your channel. Thanks for your channel.
First off, I loved this video and really appreciate the topic you chose to do! Secondly, Biggby is just so so good :) Good choice!
I actually still play dolls... when it comes to whimsy and cetivity it is such an important aspect for me, I love to read, collect bok and dolls and spend time in nature
I am so gratefull for ur channel. May God bless u and the work you do. As a muslim, it makes me super happy everytime I realise the amount of values we share. Keep going❤
Hi, I love your channel, it's such a breath of fresh air! What would you think about doing a book recommendations video? Or perhaps quiet time tips or Bible study videos? Love from New Zealand!
Thank you so much. I loved your opinions and feminine qualities of women.
Gentleness really is underrated..
Looking gorgeous babe!
Love your videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them💕
Awww, what a lovely doggie! And as always, you have a lovely voice Caitlin. I think I’ve found a new influence. :)
