I appreciate all the content you put out and the effort you make in being consistent. You’re definitely one of my comfort creators to watch. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings you!❤
Thank you thank you thank you. I agree with what you said about TikTok. I also have sleep issues and found myself scrolling for 3 hours in the early morning. I cannot stand what this does to my brain. And you're right the products people push (lack of a better word) are not what they claim. I appreciate your content and authenticity and thank you for your motivation 😊
I want to start budgeting and sticking to it, journaling to help with my anxiety, reading more and less time on social media, reading to my son every night! Your channel is awesome!
In response to your “Why me? You’re just a small town girl” comment: that is exactly why I love your channel. You’re relatable. You’re genuine. You’re videos are basically like sitting with a friend having a normal conversation. The big channels where people don’t work and are always on fancy trips or designer shopping trips are fun to watch but they’re just fantasy. They’re not real or attainable for most people. I think you’re doing great! ❤
I thought my screen was making the video a little grey and then I remembered you're in the midst of Canadian winter whilst I'm in the midst of a South American tropical city wax-melting summer hahaha Our circumstances are crazy different, but I relate to your content sooo much. Stay safe, girl, love you, and here's to a great year 😜
I initially found you on a finance video, but I really like your vibe. Now I watch your videos and with this one I really could relate to so many of these habits. So I’m a firm believer that we follow people on TH-cam bc we like their personalities. You’ll find your tribe as you continue to be you.
I love listening to these videos, I feel like we are just hanging out and having a chat. I find myself pausing and reflecting on my life through out the video. Also, you look radiant! It is good to have goals but always remember we are our biggest critic. Thanks again for sharing! Looking forward to the next video. 💕
👋 I was apart of those new subscribers that found your channel through the famous budget video, but as I started to watch your channel more, earlier this year, I’ve grown to love all the different content you share. I didn’t watch too many vlogs before finding your channel, at least not in a while. Your content variety, posting consistency, vibe & transparency has been awesome for me as a subscriber. ❤️ Thanks for all the great videos!
I loved that this video was really chill and unedited. As a newer TH-camr, I struggle with being comfortable talking to the camera. I dream of the day when I can record a video straight through like this. I had this on in the background as I decluttered my closet. Appreciate you sharing Carter!
Some of my habits for 2023: Drink more water Floss every evening Move my body more Eat at home more I also borrowed some of the ones you said, like not hitting snooze. 🙃
I love your politics stuff on your insta stories - I'm excited that you are getting more into politics and using your platform while also being careful to fact check yourself and removing yourself from unproductive discussions. Honestly goals 🥰
I'm pro-life but I think that everyone should be able to choose what they want to do with their body. Having a kid is a big responsibility and not everyone should have kids even more if they don't want to. I'm on my second child and very happy with my choice, and do think it's not that difficult to avoid having kids but not everyone is as informed as I am or in some cases are violated in some way/form becoming burdened by that kid that has no fault of being in the world. Stacking habits is easier to keep to your habits and form new ones, I tried that this 2022 and it works wonders
I’m a new subscriber this year and have love love loved all your content!! I can’t remember what video drew me in but it was fate nonetheless bc I will never be leaving haha, much love 🤍🤍
Literally so happy you decided to post during this weird week bc I LOVE your content & it’s all I would want to be consuming anyways !! One of my intentions this year is to separate my laundry… lol I know it’s so small but it’ll make my clothes look and feel better and it’s something I want to work on!!
On the imposter syndrome note: It's not that you have to be perfect for everyone online and everything (not even to your "ideal audience") - You just need to know a little bit more than the person who's getting value of your videos/content! And I'm pretty sure you do! Just have that in mind: it's just about being a step further, so that you can help someone else 💖
None of us can be everyone’s cup of tea girl. If some homies don’t vibe with your channel, das okay. Just means they prefer different types of tea. Like liquorice tea or something. I had to learn this lesson too. It can be a tough sip to swallow but it’s a good lesson. Accepting it helps us grow. Anyway. Keep doing your thang. Your transparency and honesty and unfiltered life have inspired more people than you may ever know the impact of. Love these chatty vids. All the best in 2023 girl. ♥️
No one is perfect. I think looking at what are your bad habits and replace them with good ones. I heard it takes 90 days to switch habits. We can all improve ourselves and not judge other people to tell them to improve themselves. People judge too much and need to accept people for their flaws and need to look at themselves and they have flaws as well. I think the one thing I need to improve on is not to stress out over the little things, take a deep breath, and tell myself everything will be okay.
Hi Carter good morning happy Thursday morning and happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy holidays and happy new year to you and your loved ones and I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter
I just found your channel and idk it must be a sign, I relate to a lot of your things. thank you for sharing your story on here! im also trying to get a better bedtime routine too!
I completely understand the imposter syndrome. I'm about to complete my master's degree in Spring 2023 and I've been looking at jobs that I 100% am experienced for and I keep thinking that I'm not and that I never will be. And then I get into this cycle of that even with my master's degree I'm not enough for myself so then I've been looking at Ph.D. programs and I always have to just stop myself and go for a walk to clear my head with all of the noise. I love your videos and how honest and yourself you are in them and I'm really glad I found your channel in 2022. I'm excited to see what 2023 holds for you, Matt, and Stella!
These are great! Thanks for sharing. One habit I’d like to bring into the new year, is to continue finding new hobbies. Replacing unhealthy habits (impulse shopping when bored) with possible new hobbies like crocheting or snowshoeing.
Thank you so so much Carter for this video because its truly truly helpful to me in my life you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 80K Subscribers very very soon!💫☺️❤️
No spend months also don't make sense to me. I think it would a temptation to buy a whole lot of things once you know you can buy next month. I think if we don't want to spent money then our focus should be how can way save more money, any side jobs we can do, etc
Hi Carter. Thanks for the video. As far as the Roe Vs Wade topic. I would be willing to hear out your view point. But I do have one serious question, do you think that there is a desire/goal that a women can have that should be more important than a life? Willing to hear you out but I cannot think of any kind of discomfort or change in my life that would out weigh the respect for life. No step back in my career, finances, or time should be more important than an innocent life? I think there is a scary step to people using this same logic with born babies, or toddlers, or just any children. If my five year old makes it difficult to get all my work done not even mention make it impossible to climb the corporate ladder. In this case should I just give up my child? Lastly I will just say one last point. This world makes children seem like the worst possible thing that could happen. But kids are truly the greatest blessing. Getting a high paying job, more money, a bigger home, shopping etc will not make you happy but joy can come from a love. Love from a family and children is one of the sweetest. Look forward to hearing from you.
And I love that you are willing to hear out the other side, I respect you for that! Honestly I just think any woman should be allowed the decision to have a child or not. Matt and I want children one day but not right now, I'm not ready to have a child and have other aspirations currently. I think it's okay to not want a child right now and we take all the precautions to not get pregnant (aka birth control) but it's not 100%. I totally agree that kids are the biggest blessing but what about the 16 year old who is sexually active? or the 19 year old who is SA'ed? I just believe everyone should be allowed the decision whether or not they want an abortion! No one who is pro choice thinks that love and kids aren't a big blessing I just think you should be able to choose.
@@CarterSullivan Hey Carter. I totally understand that as of right now you might now want kids and I think that it is okay to say that and want that. But I think there is a difference between your 'desire' and a life. Life should triumph over ambition. The choice a women makes effects her life as well as can end another. It's not just 'her' choice as you put it. There is an entire being that will live or die based on that choice! As fast as the 16year old or SA. That all breaks my heart. Of course I think SA is wrong. Nor do I believe a 16 year old is likely to be ready to be a mom. But why I the world would one wrong be made better by another? For example, if a 16 year old does get pregnant how does killing her baby make everything better? Two wrongs don't make a right. I respect you wanting to wait to have a baby but I do think that if a women does become pregnant selfishly only thinking about what the mom wants and not the baby is no longer a valid option. Now there is another life that needs protecting. I say this next part with no judgement but I am curious how you will feel if one day you hold your daughter or son and see just how dependent they are on you. That everything you did while they were in your belly affected them that you are now and have been in charge of keeping them safe.
@@natashachurch7506 pregnancy is wonderful for those who want it. But for kids who grew up in the system & get unexpectedly pregnant, they realize giving up their child does not always equal a better life for them. Many women do not have a stable income or life to bring a child into at the moment. I think where a lot of pro-choice and pro-life arguments differ is that the fetus does not get a right to choose IMO. It does not think & cannot exist outside the mother’s body. You are not allowed to use another person’s body without their consent, so a fetus cannot either. The child cannot tell you whether or not it wants to be born, so we let the mother decide. Adoption is wonderful & many are living great lives because of it. But many suffer under the foster care system & families who do not want/cannot care for them. Good and bad with both choices.
@@outliv so let's change the foster system and not end a life!!! Again why are we only reaching for bad solutions!!! Why not teach about respecting sex. Protecting women in the process! And I'm not sure if you have ever been pregnant but babies definitely use a women's body. Though I wouldn't put it that way. They use nutrients, energy, water etc. And how do you know they cannot think. You can watch babies in utero respond to stimulus like light, hold hands of another twin inside the womb with them, and have a heart beat. Again I am not saying that everyone needs to have children now or ever but when a child is made it needs to be protected.
I would look at your coffee intake and when you’re drinking it in relation to wakefulness at night. Coffee has a half life of 8 hours, I now don’t drink it after midday and I find I don’t wake up / have any anxious night moments at all. ❤
I only drink caffeinated coffee in the morning! I stick to decaf in the evening! My nighttime and sleep habits are very much correlated to my PTSD which we know from years of therapy!! So nothing external to fix just alot of internal work!
@@CarterSullivan Of course. My partner also has PTSD and a lot of this stuff helped him reduce physical symptoms that were related to those symptoms too. I wish you so much healing and thanks for your wonderful channel. x
I am new to this channel, and I have absolutely loved all aspects of your content! :) You may have already shared this before, but what is your current job or a brief description of what you do in the healthcare industry from home? The way you describe it sounds so interesting!
I love talking about my job, so happy to answer any questions! I'm an education coordinator for a department in the hospital where I primarily do HR/recruitment and education for medical fellows! & also some event coordination!
Hi Carter! New subie here. I love all your videos. You’re so enjoyable to watch 💕 If you’re trying to add some non-fiction to your reads I totally recommend Woman Code” by Alisa Vitti. It was such a helpful tool for me as I started my journey of none hormonal birth control. I know you mentioned taking a break from your IUD. It definitely helped me understand womanhood and embrace all the changes it brings. Maybe it will do the same for you 🥰
I'm actually going back on the pill, not ready to give up hormonal birth control yet, I love her!!! But I actually own In the FLO by Alisa and plan on reading it soon, regardless of being on birth control!
I appreciate all the content you put out and the effort you make in being consistent. You’re definitely one of my comfort creators to watch. Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings you!❤

Yay so glad that's how you feel watching my videos because that's always my goal- for my videos to feel like hanging out and chilling 🥰
Loved it ! All 23 were good! You gave me somethings to think about and change / do in 2023 ! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
what an inspiration... really want to take on grad school and start posting content online so I'm so glad someone out there is doing it!!!

Ah well so happy that you're here!! Much love to YOU♥️
You’re definitely going to surpass 100k. I love your vids! I have a dog of my own named Stella lol
Thanks so much🥰

I got a habit tracker for 2023, excited to be more intentional about my habits next year!
Love this!!!!
I enjoyed this video! I appreciate the plug about fact checking more often when you're on a public platform.
It's something we all do I think but I want to be more conscious about the content I take in on social media!!

You aren't alone!!! I try to only scroll the people I follow and not my FYP!
I wish I could double subscribe because this was such a thoughtful and enlightening video. Signed - first gen Canadian and pro choice as well!
EEEP you're so sweet!!! 🥹♥️
Do you like to read a certain genre?
Yes like I mentioned, thrillers & romance!
The question is why not you ?
Hi Carter! New subie here. I love all your videos. You’re so enjoyable to watch 💕
