      Hi Caroline. As a german I was so excited to see these beautiful smokers! 😍Sorry for what your grandparents had to endure. Glad your family still seem to have a good connection to germany. And thank you for being so authentic (you made me tear up).

      Darling, I cried with you. I've been with my husband for 9 years and after a long and traumatising relationship I found it so hard to trust my now husband. It took years of him saying to me that he would never leave me and showing me in his actions that he was a man of integrity and honour before I could let myself relax fully into his love for me. God bless you both,;your Angels are always with you, as they are with us all. Kisses to you little sister.

    I wasn't expecting to sit down and cry with you today, but here we are. I don't think I'm alone in saying that you are relatable and refreshingly authentic and deeply lovable. Watching your videos truly, truly feels like sitting down with my bestie and catching up. When I watch your videos, I joke with my kids that I'm having coffee with my friend, Caroline. Your wisdom and vulnerability are qualities that I want in my friendships and I am so appreciative you share your wonderful, quirky self with us. I feel less alone in the world because of you. I'm sending you love and wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

      I don't mean to be a "Debbie Downer', but if you truly celebrate the meaning of Christmas (along with all the fun stuff too), you'd never throw the word f-ing into it. I hate it when people do that. Only Christian holidays seem to be demeaned like this.

    • @BeckhaDoyle
      @BeckhaDoyle 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +15

      ​​​@@Laura-g1c1lChristmas was the date of a pagan celebration that was co-opted by the Romans before again being replaced by Christians. So it is not as rooted in Christianity as a lot of people seem to think, it was a replacement of a pre-existing holiday the church frowned upon and so decided to use the date themselves for the sake of convenience. It's a multi faith and no faith holiday that everyone can celebrate or not celebrate exactly as they want. The meaning you apply to it doesn't have to be the meaning everyone else also chooses to go with.

    Your feedback about the supportive comments had me in tears. It is so hard when we feel we are walking alone. We don't actually want anyone else to go through our same misery or trauma, but when we find another club member who has gotten to the other side, grew and maybe even thrived - well like you said that is special.

    I hesitate to write anything here, because so many are saying similar things to what I would say. That being said, I cried the entire time along with you. I'm 63 and I've had something wrong that causes me to feel off balance (physically), extreme fatigue that has varied in intensity throughout my life, etc etc. And I never feel like I'm heard or understood. I'm so happy that you got some validation! Thank you for being authentic and open. You are helping others! PS. I actually bought the pie earrings!

As someone who struggles with anxiety and often feels isolated because of it, your words always bring me so much hope and comfort. Watching your journey and seeing how you’ve faced challenges with such courage inspires me to believe that better days and exciting adventures are ahead. Thank you for being such a bright light in my life-you’ve helped me more than I can express. I’m so proud of you for staying strong and moving forward, and I hope you know how much of an impact you’re making. Please keep being your amazing self!

    I'm glad you talk about mental health so openly. As someone diagnosed with bipolar, one of the underratedly awful parts of dealing with severe mental illness is that you're just... Alone. You're an alien; you're a changeling, and even your closest friends won't really understand without effort (if at all). For me, it's always that PAUSE that grows into concerned confusion when you try to make a universally relatable joke. Millions of ambient reminders that your foundations are different-it's like walking around with a target on your back. Your channel is always one of those places where I DO relate, though. Thanks for being so open, it's really helpful :)

    A big part of the reason I started following your channel was because of how you talk about relationships/mental health. I had been going through a really hard time after leaving a very problematic relationship and literally thought there was something wrong with me for feeling all of the things I was feeling. I found so much comfort in you and your channel at that time in my life. Thank you for being you and sharing your life with all of us 💜

    At 66, I can tell you that we accumulate PTSD from significant negative experiences. Sometimes, we don't know there's damage until a new situation triggers an old memory and the old feelings come back fresh as hell. The one blessing from this is that after living through so many things and coming out the other side, you begin to think of yourself as a bit of a super hero ... a feeling one usually doesn't have when they are young.

    Caroline, first I want to say it is not “lame” to show your emotions. It helps others to know it’s okay to share their feelings. As for the man that wrote such a touching message, part of me believes he is an “angel” and a bigger part of me just hopes that he is just a kind, considerate person trying to make life easier for you and anyone else who needed to see his comment. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all be so kind to each other. Also, love your decorations. Maybe you’d like a velvet bow on the top of the tree?

It is a breath of fresh air on social media to have someone willing to be so open and vulnerable. It gives the rest of us permission to acknowledge and embrace our whole selves. Thank you for all the great tips and advice, presented in a way that is so real and engaging.

      I think there's a lot of us here! I'm in my 50s so also probably not her typical demographic, but there's something about Caroline that is so refreshing and appealing. I think we saw it in spades in this video--for one her approach to family and traditions, and then her tears and vulnerability in sharing about her mental health journey and the help she's found along the way. She's just a wonderful person to follow.

Your videos got (and sometimes still are getting) me through some really tough times in my life. Whatever happens, I know that there is a video from Caroline, old out new, that would make me giggle or cry or generally.. feel alive. I’m very grateful to you for that, and I have a lot of love for you as a person.
    And thank you for leaving this beautiful vulnerable part of you crying. It was very necessary for me, I cried with you
    All the best to you and have some mother-freaking happy holidays ❤

    Caroline, dearest Caroline, now you understand how you touched our lives, mine for sure. I teared up with you, I'm sure thousands of viewers did... Every Christmas is better than the previous one with you...today TH-cam was on and auto play led me to your The Date video, the street man era...and now seeing you sitting at the table with Justin just melted my heart... you deserve all the happiness in the world, both of you, you are such good people...
    Bad dating can erode the sense of self, and finding the one can make you believe that it is too good to be true, especially if you've been told previously, one way or another, that you are not good enough and deserving of true commitment. You are so deserving of love and commitment...you are such a gift...Thank you for Robert Frost... I'm so glad you have someone wonderful to go miles with...Happy holiday ❤️

    oh dearest caroline,
    I haven't even watched your last video yet since I knew it would hit me right in the feels and so I postponed it ... will watch now. Thank you for your authenticity, for your honesty, warmth and kindness, for all the ways you decide to show up to yourself and also to and for us - I have been watching for the last two years and although we have never met in person, I am so so proud of you. You have inspired and motivated me to embrace my own inner self in all its bits and pieces regardless of anyone assuming them to be weird or off. There is just something pretty damn assuring to watch someone else drift off or zone out, not just that but actually take all the time and space they need to do so. We need more of that! So with this video my TOP 3 CAROLINE WINKLER-LIST just upgraded from 3 to 5, I am assuming the next (last) one will be up there, too. (other ones are your honest reflection of your outdoor picnic, the two parted deep dive in your romantic history, your lazy girls' guide to working out - srsly anything with you and Luke or any of your siblings is just solid gold - aaand ofc the glow up video. so yeah guess that already makes up 6, but who's counting anyways?)
    I am sending you lots of love and a big hug from Germany. also - love your tree and also the fact that we share some heritage in some way. Glad to hear your family found their way to ... not necessarily safety, that would be a bold thing to assume, but just .. somewhere else. Sometimes that's all one needs. It's so much more than so many people have ... I sincerely hope we'll do better, as humanity. Not just someday, in general, but actually soon, right now.

    Hey Caroline,
    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your amazing and honest videos, especially the one about anxious attachment. I watch your content while declutter and clean at home, and honestly, there's nothing on the internet that calms me as much as your videos do, especially in the days where my heart is heavy. I never thought to write to you before because I didn’t think it was important, but seeing you sitting at the table, arranging flowers while feeling so much, really touched me deeply.
    You’ve become such an incredible source of inspiration for both interior design and life in general. I’ve learned so much from you! And I have to say, writing this under your Christmas decoration video is a little significant-since I hate Christmas, so I guess that says it all about how much I enjoy your content.
    Thank you again for everything you do. You truly make a difference!

I’ve been divorced a year now and I’m still not there yet but my therapist says it takes at least 2yrs to get through this chapter of adjustment. Having lived with hyper viligence and rumination for over 30yrs with the ex, it’s been hard to let my guard down even at home by myself but it’s slowly receding. I wish you all the best and that this be the best chapter of your life. I wish you love when you’re ready for it. Hello from Australia.

    Girl. The way you described feeling touched by that comment on your last video and like it was a message from the future is exactly how I felt watching your last video. I didn't comment on that one because I honestly didn't know how to summarize how unexpectedly seen I felt afterward. I saved it and thought about sharing it with my therapist. I cried. I watched the whole thing thinking "holy shit I'm not alone". Anxiety/ocd about a perfectly healthy relationship can be embarrassing and isolating and feel completely unsharable with people in your life. Seeing your video and the comments was so validating. It's so touching to see your honest reaction to sharing it.
    I'm here and I'm growing through it right along with you. I'm so so glad I had the wherewithal to get the help I needed and didn't let it ruin a really good thing, and you should be so proud you're doing the same. I still battle a lot of guilt for the way I've allowed anxiety to make me act out in the past, but hearing it from your perspective helps me have some self compassion for how much I was suffering and how far I've come. And god am I grateful for my patient partner. THANK YOU for sharing.

    I doubt you will see this, but I wanted to chime in and say how much I admire your vulnerability, and you've inspired me to look inward and be a bit vulnerable myself by sharing my own experience. I have felt that insecure attachment on/off in every relationship I've been in (and unfortunately it's worse when I really like the guy, because the stakes just seem that much higher!!).
    For me, I think this is caused by putting the other person up on a pedestal while simultaneously belittling myself, so the chasm between how I view them vs my perceived self-worth is HUGE. If I'm not careful, I can start judging everything I do and say (or NOT do and say). Am I being boring right now? Am I being too weird? Annoying? Quiet? Am I making too much eye contact? Smile and laugh at his jokes. No, not like that, that's too much!
    It's like trying to walk on a tightrope 100 feet above the Earth while telling myself I suck AND trying to maintain the facade of chill indifference. And it's absolutely exhausting.
    Honestly I can be like this with anyone I care about, including friends and family, which then makes me want to push them away so I don't have to deal with the stress of tightrope walking; or the pain from potentially falling. In other words, I'd rather reject them first before they reject me, because their rejection would hurt so much more by "confirming" all my negative self-talk.
    All that to say, if you're crazy then we are all crazy

And this year I married the absolute love of my life, who has shown me unconditional support and love, and who meets me where I am and helps me navigate my anxiety in a healthy way. He is my best friend, by biggest supporter, my rock - and I'm his! I am so happy for you Caroline. You deserve happiness and support. I'm so happy you have it now.

    I was watching/listening to this as I was making my holiday cards out, and when you started talking at the end, I had to stop and truly listen completely...and Caroline, I started sobbing...I felt every word you said, and then that song started playing...and I was like "oh shit, here I go with the hard tears!!" I don't know you in real life but I am so damn glad I found your channel and I love you to bits. You came into my life when I really needed it and I thank you for being real...for just being you. So, now I need to clear my throat and make my eyes stop leaking and finish these cards. LOL xx

    Absolutely loved this video ❤️ girl don’t even think about apologizing for crying!
    Your video about anxious attachments was SO reassuring to me and so many others, as were the comments on it. I was in an extremely toxic/emotionally abusive relationship in my formative years (late high school/all college) that contributed to my anxious attachment style. I too know the feeling of thinking you’re crazy/alone/unfixable/unable to sustain long term healthy relationships. Waking up from dreams of being abandoned or betrayed, sort of self destruction looking for problems/reasons to second guess.
    But you’re so not alone, not crazy, and certainly not unfixable. We were not necessarily born this way, we learned it from past relationships, pain & possibly trauma. Time, patience, effort, and the right person can help undo this defense mechanism/walls that have been built up around you. To our journey of finding peace enough within ourselves to find the peace & joy in our good relationships 🥂
    Happy holidays!! & thank you for becoming so much more than a channel that teaches me how to make my home beautiful! You’re all that & more!

    This can’t be easy. I don’t know how you do it. I leave one comment on an Instagram post (Vice President of the US) and 75 responses later about what I wrote, I can’t sleep at night. TH-cam is another animal. I’m so glad you are open to all of it. Congratulations on being so vulnerable with the other video and again now, brought to tears talking about the other video. You made me tear up. Then you turn to saying how the flowers are not how you wanted them to look like and your comedic timing makes me laugh out loud!! Tears to laughter. Thank you!
    Life is not easy. I say this all the time. There are going to be good and bad days. It’s just the way it goes. We are here to learn lessons. I agree completely that there are angels around us to help guide us through our most complicated times.
    Thank you for the tutorial on your beautiful decorations, the wreaths, the candles in the windows and the snowflakes. The tree is absolutely beautiful. Well done on all of it. Keep going. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

    thank you for your vulnerability and trusting your community so much to post the last video and your comment in this video. Even though you might not feel strong, I think you’re very courageous to show me and everyone else here your feelings.
    I watched every „self help“ video you did and it really helped me to get myself out of my depression. I could relate to you and how you were talking about yourself. With all those perfectly staged lives on social media I felt you were and are true about yourself and your situation.
    Thanks

    Wow. You have such a beautiful soul and can explain anything with such clarity. Bad relationships are very nuanced and only those who have gone through it can truly understand. I’ve found there’s a lot of heartlessness from people you’re brave enough to open up to. I call people who have gone through divorces/breakups and tell me it gets better are divorce heroes and they live on my shoulders. The flowers look beautiful. Take care all. ❤

    PS - I’ve now finished watching your video, and I just wanted to add how much I loved all of your decorating ideas. The warm colours you chose for the baubles, the wreaths and single candles in the windows and your paper star making tips. Thank for sharing all of that. You have a beautiful soul. It shines through your eyes. And I also happen to believe that angels walk amongst us. My very best wishes to you and your family this Festive Season. 🎄

    Thank you so so so much for sharing yourself with us- For being a whole ass human on the internet. In the age where social media persona’s dominate and we so often see highlight reels and compare ourself to them- seeing you just decorate your home and talk about your feelings, and the hardships you’ve faced and how you’ve grown through them- it makes me feel like it’s okay to be me- like, 100% me. The good, the bad, the palatable, the abrasive- like the whole package. I can just EXIST. And I can share myself with others~
    I’ve really struggled in the past with expressing myself, and it created this self fulfilling cycle of feeling alone and misunderstood… I’ve gotten better with it, but you sharing your experience with anxious attachment and receiving so much understanding and support just underlined it even more for me- we don’t get to feel seen, heard, or supported if we don’t express the difficulties that we face and overcome in life- and being that vulnerable is a really hard thing to do! And of course there is a risk that comes along with it, but it also creates these beautiful ripples through the people you’re in contact with~
    Thank you, Caroline, for being you. For being willing to share yourself. (I’m 100% NOT crying while I type this.)

I’m so, so glad you feel a genuine connection with us Caroline, every video you make feels like I’m chilling with a friend and it honestly helps me so much. Currently in therapy for the first time and your videos are so helpful in so many ways ❤

    I got out of an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist over the summer. Only one or two people have “got it” every time I’ve been brave enough to explain it, but each time it has felt like oxygen. I haven’t watched your Anxious Attachment video yet because I think it will hit close to home and I want to prepare myself. I’m terrified about dating again one day, and I already know I can relate to some of your worries. I think you are brilliant and I’m so proud to see you’ve come through it. It gives me hope that I will too. Sending you so much love, enjoy the holidays, keep doing what you’re doing xxxxx ❤️

    Also I must purchase several of the beautiful vases when they are in stock, as they alone seem to be healing in some strange way to me

You are not alone and thank you so much for sharing ❤
