- Today we're talking MINDSET CHANGE, how we define success, being brave enough to stand out, enjoying the journey, and loving others. I'm a flawed human who struggles with these things as much as anyone else, but these are 5 sources of inspiration (my favorite books, podcasts, thinkers and youtuber) who motivate me everyday. I've never been more excited to share a video - these are the things that are most important to me. I hope there's something in here to lift you up today.

The other day I heard someone say "we are here to experience, not achieve" and I'm LIVING by that now
Girl you're a youtuber? Wow, You must be really smart.
😂😂😂😭
I really enjoy that every week I don't know what type of video you will give us. It's a bit like a wrapped present, always a bit of surprise. I really enjoyed this one, but I enjoy them all.
That makes me so happy to hear❤️❤️I’m so glad you’re here for it all
Well said!
same here! it makes for a multidimensional channel and includes us in the process of the lense of our girl!
I loved this video, it’s so underrated
@@Caroline_Winkler I'm a new subscriber - it's so easy to binge watch your videos you've uploaded, without getting bored with one particular topic. I totally agree with this comment! I think you're great at covering things that both your subscribers would enjoy, and you catch TH-cam trends pretty early it seems, to bring new subs over. Glad I was recommended your channel.
Grandmother here. Just have to say that knowing ourselves, figuring out who we are is a long journey. And that’s ok. Life is full of twists and turns. Just be true to you. Be kind to everyone. You eventually get to a place of peace. Comfort in your own skin. Enjoy the process. And if we are lucky we have friends like Caroline to enjoy the ride. 💜😊
Grandmother Lauren - i love this. thank you for sharing it. Enjoying the process seems so key, and so tough some times! thanks for sharing this sweet wisdom and reflection
Wisdom right here.
Thank you Grandma💓
Thank you, Grandma! Hugs! 💖
Your first point about our jobs and identity and how you feel about it really resonated with me. My fancy job was nothing more than a signal to others that I had made it in some way. They didn't know that I cried every day, I wasn't very good at it, and that my boss treated me horribly. It just mattered that I got to say I was off to the World Bank or setting up a meeting with so and so ambassador. When I left to go back to teaching I didn't want to tell anyone. I felt like I wasted my fancy NYU degree and that I was giving up. BUT, as these stories go, it was the best decision ever. You're such a shining light Caroline. You could do any job and it still wouldn't be the most impressive thing about you. Let your heart and mind believe that! Thanks for another great video.
Ahh man that resonates 😑❤️ and wow so glad that it ended up being the best decision you ever made🥲 (I mean of course it was! But still, just love to hear that.
Ps. Jinx on getting a fancy pointless NYU degree. Girl I majored in “drama”. LOL
@@Caroline_Winkler I grew up in the "those who can't, teach" era so it was really hard to wrap my brain around identifying as a teacher even though I loved it and it made me happy. I think what I've learned is that the joyful people don't care what their life looks like from the outside, they just carry on with what brings them joy. That's what I want!
And I legit don't know where my degree is! I'm thankful for it but I also think I lost it :)
I worked years to finally get an executive position in the nonprofit world. Loved the mission, hated the job. Enjoyed the accolades my friends and family gave me for achieving my goal but not enough to stay. I left for another job but got laid off during pandemic. Returned to prior org where I was formerly COO and now I’m a consultant writing their grants, working remotely, and living life for me! Success is never a straight road and often ends up being something you never imagined. 🤗
Wow “success often ends up being something you never imagined” - I love that and completely agree. I don’t think we’re good at guessing what will really make us happy and fulfilled!
@@JD4evr I think leaving a mission based job is extra hard. Like, I still care about the work my non profit did, I just couldn't work there anymore. I feel like there's a stigma though once you leave. I'm so glad you're living your best best life and truly finding success on your terms. And bless you for writing those grants, I hated that :)
Giirl...please continue to make videos like this. I'm always on the hunt for ways to feel better about myself 😂. I've taken notes and plan to check all of these out.
❤️❤️❤️bah I’m so glad! You’re the best
One of my absolute favorite youtubers to watch is Damon Dominique, he mostly makes travel related content but he dives into culture and stereotypes in such a real way, and also is just so entertaining as well. He speaks a lot about philosophy too, and all around makes beautifully filmed videos! A big big recommendation for everyone to check out
Oo that sounds right up my alley, I’m looking him up! Thanks for the recommendation ❤️❤️
love damon. he is making tv shows for youtube essentially and is pioneering that change. The amount he puts into an episode. um. how.
Thanks for the Rec!
You and Paige Wassel are my absolute faves on TH-cam. Both of you have amazing aesthetics, but more than anything I love how genuine you both are. Definitely a breathe of fresh air, thanks for all you do and for letting us into your journey (: I learn so much from all your videos, super inspiring
❤️❤️ thank u! I love being associated with her at all. She is too fun and too great
I'll second this comment. 👌 the Disney Channel vs. Indie film comment was such a light bulb moment. I think to be in indie film in the land of Disney and succeed is too inspiring for words. To be able to hold someone's attention without flashy editing and bright colors and goofy voices...it makes me think it's possible. ❤️
I agree!
Funny, I have to mention this…you mentioned Paige Wassel, and it was through watching her videos how I learned about you. She recommended following you and how you are talented and that’s how I discovered you and never stopped watching you. You both are extremely talented and I enjoy watching you guys. I had no idea you followed her too. That’s so sweet you both admire each other
ahh i love that! i really think she's one of the most inventive people on the internet. great to watch even for those who aren't into interior design, IMO
I never get excited about an influencer or TH-camr putting out a video but I can honestly say if you had 100s of videos I’d happily watch them all. I really felt for you when you mentioned the bit about getting respect for being a coder and not an artist. As a society we put too much pressure on job titles, for what? That’s not what makes us dignified and valuable, it’s our actions, and morality that do, in my opinion at least 🤷🏽♀️
I love that you are genuinely annoyed by things on your videos. Most youtubers are so over happy and over positive when they film themselves it makes the viewer think that something is wrong with him. I love that you are real, you do not smile all the time, you are pissed off by things of the day to day life, you are just a real person with positive and negative emotions and this is reassuring to watch. Have a good day!
I’m not a reader at all and have always felt bad about it. I love the way you reframed it! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
I’m here to back her re-framing point for you! As someone who reads a lot but it’s usually just fluff, I need to spend more time learning. The act of reading itself isn’t the important thing at all
I absolutely love to read, fiction, non fiction, mysteries, romance, history, all of it. But there are plenty of times when I’m reading and thinking, “this would be more pleasant, easier to understand, or simply better if it were a skit, comic strip, 3 minute video, anything other than words formatted in a book format 😂.
This girl is on the right track in her life and that always makes me happy to see in another young person. This topic especially lights her up. Such a beautiful thing to share with us, passion + positive content. Thank you.
You really do add such an enormous amount of value to the world through this channel. Big props to you girl.
Love to see it.
You’re doing it. 🎉
Mr. Grant is right. Basic food, clothing and shelter are all we really NEED. That is success. The rest is just wants. We can measure our own level of success by the quality of the needs and wants we acquire. If you're unhappy with the quality, or the means to acquire, change is in order.
Status - The judgemental opinion of others, based on whether you have more or less than they. No win scenario. Pay no dues to that club.
Yes to all the suggestions, found them very helpful. Always laugh when I listen to your videos, so glad I found your channel 😄
I'm so grateful for discovering you. I relate deeply to you. Thank you for your work, it's much appreciated! ❤
Oh, forgot to say I love this kind of video where you share what you are watching and i get to see new things
OMG blew my mind! So in sync with everything I needed to hear. Will check all of these out. Thank you so much. You are very original and so resonate with all of your videos. Love it.
Just found your channel today and this has been my favorite video so far (still binging your videos tho so I'm sure I will be finding new favs with every video I watch)!! I have been trying to find podcasts like the ones you recommended, so thank you! But also, I LOVE how fun and well-spoken and real you are. It feels like I am just chatting with a friend. You are so engaging and inspiring to me because I am trying to embrace myself how I am (like as a software developer I 1000% related with what you said about how people perceive you now vs before)! So glad your channel exists because you have a personality that I know people love seeing and hearing and I also love your editing style!
Just what I needed, thanks to the universe I found your channel. Thank you Caroline ❤️
Thank you Caroline. Your content is fresh and unique! Love it!
im so glad you were recommended to me and now i can binge watch absolutely all of your videos
Yesss make more of this! I came from one of your other TH-cam videos where you mentioned this one and you felt sad that no one really liked it lol but it was waaay better than the recognition that you didn’t get but truly deserve! Anywho, thank you for providing such great words of wisdom through your favorite motivational go-to’s.
i hope you have a great day too! finding your channel has been such a treat! Everything is just A+
Random remarks you make really crack me up and I need to pause so I don’t miss something else.
Saturday morning, coffee in hand and tuning into Caroline... Good stuff today! 🙌🏼
Amor, I am hooked on you!!! Your material is refreshing, informative, fun… etc.
I am so grateful for you!!💐💐💐🙌🏼
I found your channel when Paige mentioned you in one of her vids ! Y’all are the only people I watch on TH-cam now🙂 thank you for the wonderful videos !
Loved this video ... Girl - doesn't really matter what you are doing or talking about, we ARE here for it 😍 !
I just discovered you through your viral video and watched the vlog where you mentioned how this other video has performed really poorly... I had to come look at it.
Girl, you did a great job. I could feel the passion you have for the content pieces you recommended and convinced me to go check them out. Funny enough one of my least watched videos is exactly the same topic as this one and I also didn't understand what I did wrong.
No matter how much work and passion we put into our videos, sometimes they just don't perform well. Loved your reasoning around it in that vlog. I also recently made a video that got me to my first million views on a video and it's definitely not one of the best I have on the channel 🤷♀ Your home organization video instead is a masterwork! You'll improve so many daily lives with it, mine included. Sending some love from Udine, Italy.
Ditto and I too think you did an awesome job and would love to see more of these please.
I love your style and the editing that goes into your videos.
There is a lot of work here as I’m learning as I go at doing this myself, thanks for setting the bar higher for me.
I too love the dried roses and I keep them in beautiful handmade ceramic platters and bowls after they are fully dried, not pulled apart like potpourri but full without the stem.
I look forward to checking out some of your suggestions here and wonder do you get much time to watch Netflix etc as would love to here some shows your enjoying.
Keep up the great work.
P.S @What a shame Mary Jane I will also go and check your channel out too. 🌻
I love the way you edited this video and I’m just enjoying all your content in general! I’m also a fan of Paige, I find you both have that elusive ‘tasteful grandma’ vibe, which is so refreshing
I am so happy that I just discovered your channel! Loved everything you discussed! We are all just walking each other home on this human adventure! To share love and inspiration is such a wonderful gift! Namaste'!
Aaaand we´re back! Love your humor and authenticity.
Three videos into what I anticipate will be a long binge watch and I gotta say what a beautifully chaotic channel - 1000% here for it, much love
I love your videos, it gives me... a moment of peace in a day. You seem like a wonderful person and I want to truly thank you for your content!
Your transparency, and realistic understanding of…all the things is incredibly refreshing and it’s everything I want to listen to. Thank you for being real ❤️
Absolutely in love with your content. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. That’s my favorite part.
I loved this video...thank you! I love that, at 52 years young, my mind and heart continue to expand through books and now, podcasts! And TH-cam!
My favorite book relating to Buddhism is titled Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change by Pema Chödrön. I've struggled during times of change (even the most seemingly minor changes) all of my life. This book has really helped me to KEEP my shit together or at least GET my shit back together during those times of change. I'm still not a fan of change but I'm better able to handle it.
How many times can I use the word "change"...🥴
Yay! Paige! I am so happy you brought her up in this video, you and her are my ultimate 'comfort youtubers' and you are both so truly original :)
My parents and I binge How I Built This on every road trip! So fun and inspiring to listen to.
Yes please more of these. Actually more of whatever you want to share. Hope you’re feeling a lot better 🌼
Recently have been on a binge of all your videos! I just love the diversity and the chitchat, it just feels like having a chat with a friend. Looking forward to watching more and just chilling :)
I'm so grateful I found your channel. For me you are definitely up there in inspiration and I for sure get the same vibes as you with Jess. It's like talking to a best friend with you, so thank you.
I have been feeling depressed lately and lacking in motivation, thank you so much for making a unique and personal inspiration and motivation video 😊
Where have you been all our lives! you are amazing and just right for the world. Just you being transparent about perception of smarts, coding, learning, ideas etc did it for me. Thank you xoxo .
Yes! I left a prestigious sounding job in streaming media to work for a nonprofit that helps kids with autism and mental health. I took a pay cut, but got a huge boost to my self worth! 🖤
Girl!!! 200% agreed on Reading is not a virtue it’s a medium! Best way to pit it out. I struggle with reading but I’m excited to learn.
I really like you. You're sense of humor is off the chart. You make me chuckle everytime I watch you and you are so relatable. Love your content. Thank you.
I just found you, and I think YOU are truly original. So there. Rare and beautiful. Keep doing this. You're really good.
The wilted flowers resonated with me more than anything else.
I just started binge watching your videos yesterday and have seen the gamut of your content and omg I love it all! Your channel/personality is exactly the kind of uplifting, humanizing, joy-inducing content I need! Thanks for existing on this here TH-cam!!!
loved this !! great reccos, similarly and answering ur last Q, five things to consume (or do or whatever) when going through a tough/dark time or break up 🙃 you’re just gunna be all of our therapists ty ty
I love that you are trusting your Inner Compass
you have no idea so im gonna tell ya! you are helping me through so much that I couldn`t even begin to explain right now. thank you and I love the decorating you do!!
Dude you are my favorite person. Love your videos so much…all of em!
Only discovered your channel recently but I am having the best time catching up on all your content! Your popping up on my algorithm was a completely unexpected but wonderful New Year’s Gift from TH-cam. Girl, you are so creative, funny, intelligent, and above all honest. You speak things that are in my head that I never hear from anyone else. So glad I discovered your channel.
Love your videos, Caroline, so refreshing!! Also, I'd love to know what makeup you're using, you always look so beautiful and that blush shade is gorgeous!
Added the two podcasts and I’m ready to learn❣️ thanks for the inspo, queen ☀️
I legit love this channel so much. Love that it’s such a mix of so many things and how you are so willing to be open and honest. It’s needed :) all while making me laugh wow go girl
You made my morning with this comment 🥲thanks for seeing me!
I love this video soooo much. Watching someone talk about things that inspire them >>>>
🥲❤️thanks taneesha. Glad to have you here
I just absolutely love your content, delivery, and how genuinely funny you are. I have recently retired and planning on a new journey. A passion since I was in my 20’s. I love antiques and having fun thrifting. As everyone says, “the thrill of the hunt”. I love design and everything that has to do with the home, organizing, unique items, quality furnishings and beautiful things. You speak to my heart and soul. I feel we have way too much in common as well. I was an actress in high school and college. I never took it to another level professionally like you did. I went the cautious real estate route and had a nice career, but so ready for my new adventure. You are giving me the aspiration and additional motivation I need.
Thanks Caroline, I’ll be watching and enjoying everyday!
This video was beautiful, Caroline! You seem like such a genuine person. Much love from Belgium!
I love this video! Lots of new people to check out! I'm familiar with Paige's channel, but hearing you talk about her is really interesting. I feel like you were able to capture what makes her so unique and why I keep coming back to her channel long after I stopped watching other design channels. She isn't afraid to hurt your feelings. I love that. Some of what she likes is too far out for me, but her tips for creating balance and whatnot are applicable to every design style imo. I feel like I get a similar type of information from your channel. I might not buy the same decor, but your ideas and tips make me rethink the way I put things together and question the "rules" I've been hearing from other designers.
I would love another list like this!
Your videos are very wise and refreshing. Keep them coming!
I’m 60 years old and struggled my entire life with motivation and procrastination. Your videos are honestly helping. This really great content. Thank you
Thank you for sharing and bringing some joy to my life! Love videos like this
We each have a distinct learning style so no shame that you don't prefer reading - hey, you like to learn and that's a key to growth and experience. So yay for you!
I enjoy how authentic you are. I have been really enjoying sermons and learning about the crap people have gone through before me. Definitely has helped me to keep going. Never thought I would say that about the Bible.
I'm at a point in my life where I'm hesitating between choosing a career for the passion and meaning that will change something in this world, or choosing a career I excel at, for good money, that will give me the lifestyle I'm aiming for. These suggestions will for sure help me to start my decision process. Thank you Caroline ❤️
This is one of my favorites of your videos! It made me feel so comforted after feeling low/depressed bc it reminded me there's always an eventual upswing where things get easier and more joyful as I gain more skills and appreciation for living my life. I've been frustrated by the cyclical nature of this growth process lately, but this was something I needed to hear.
You make people feel that we’re right with you. Keep it up girl.
Life is a journey so don’t get discouraged because you’ll eventually get there.🤗👏🤩
Girl! This was deep for me. I rarely "read." I listen to books on tape in my car and I gain information, lots of information. But you are so right about reading being a vehicle to get information. Then, when you differentiated learning as a virtue vs. the act of reading...Amazing! Made my morning.
You have the BEST personality - so engaging and funny. Your recommendations are always on point.
Ah thanks Ro!❤️
Caroline! So grateful to have found your channel. Your videos are so thoughtfully curated and edited. I'm in real appreciation and admiration for your work.
Tonight I had a nightmare which I awoke abruptly and immediately came here to watch one of your videos for comfort. I chose this one because you mentioned the making of it and how no one watched it. Happy to see there are many more views now!
All that to say, thank you so so much for the incredible suggestions. Especially the organizational psychologist (I believe that's what you said). That's my niche and I'd never heard of him.
Long-winded, but I feel like you understand. Thanks again! 🎉 I appreciate your existence.
Yet again LOVED this episode. YOU ARE MULTI DIMENSIONAL! And while that is an admirable trait, it may feel to you, as if you are faltering and always searching for who you really are. You are, first and foremost, an intellect FOR SURE. This is evident in how both articulate and witty you are, as well as in how interested and well versed you are on many topics (your raw honesty about how liking that your job portrays you as in intellect will resonate with many, but recognizing that this isn't necessary is the brave part). You are an actor, which comes through in how comfortable you are in front of the camera, part of what makes you so engaging to watch. You are a comedian, you're ability to improv and your delivery are PERFECT! You're a talented designer, again, well versed and read in addition to having intuitive style and the ability to share it with us. Finally you are a TALENTED you tuber. I never know what each episode will bring and just when I think "oh this is it, this is the content she should focus on", the next episode speaks to me just as loudly. Continue to be multi dimensional as we are all benefiting from all your talents and gifts. Don't worry about understanding your meaning here on earth or grasping your purpose, take your own advice and continue to appreciate your relationships in life, work hard at the things that speak to you and enjoy the journey because you're KILLIN IT. To answer your question, YES more episodes like this......favorite things to read, watch etc. But also more episode on how you helped people with design questions Then again I loved just hearing about how you hurt your knee and hanging with family. Just keep doing you.
Haven’t even watched the entire video yet but just wanted to say thank you for being real. I’m having a rough week and this channel / video came right on time. 😌
I hate to hear that it’s been a tough week Eva ❤️😔hope you get to do something nice for yourself today. And hang in there friend ❤️
@@Caroline_Winkler thank you. I hope your knee is feeling better as well
I am a huge fan, Caroline. You are so intelligent, thoughtful, witty and real. Love your flowers in the background. I would rather see realism than phony perfectionism. Ultimately, that is why I watch you.
“Peace is prosperity”-Tony gaskins.
I went from dental assistant to bus driver, I can relate to the lesser value identity. Funny enough, as a bus driver I make about $8 more per hour and have a pension, I can go to doctor appointments now and I’m not overworked and have a 3 hour lunch break. I never thought I’d have a job that offered me peace! While I love dental assisting and miss it so very much, it was really overburdened, emotionally and physically and financially draining even after almost 20 years experience. I don’t feel proud when I say I’m a school bus driver but peace is prosperity and I’m stickin to it.
I loved this so much - I am a fellow interior designer and love to hear what’s inspiring and motivating others not just in design, but in life. I’m not a huge reader myself, but someone recommended this book to me and I think you would love it too… 101 essays to change the way you think by Briana Wiest. So many mic drop perspectives it’s honestly mind blowing… I always reach for it when I need to get out of my own way/head!
Just to say beforehand, this look is stunning. And this sleeve type is so flattering, I just love raglan sleeves and variations.
I like how you keep it real with the dead flowers in the background.😀 Love love your channel!
I can watch all your videos, even when they totally don't apply to my life, just because I love your personality!
That moment when you zoned out for a solid 30 seconds... I really liked it. It shows that you are a real person, and was very relatable. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy all of your videos.
The meaningful work that expresses your values is something I feel so strongly about. I can’t and don’t focus on work that seems “important” and “valuable” to others. I have found that most often those jobs are about the title and impressing others than the work itself.
you are AMAZING. I havent seen such a great personality in a while.
Love your videos 💗. Will be ordering the Zen master book ❤️. Hello from Australia 🙋🏼♀️.
You are inspirational.... currently binge watching your videos. You go girl.💖
Paused your newest video to come comment on this one and say I loved it! I just found your videos yesterday and have been bingeing them while I pack up my place to move. Can't wait to continue while I decorate the new place! You're like a pal keeping me company while I do chores. Also, I've never commented on a TH-cam video ever, so here we are. THANK YOU, YOU RULE. \m/
Feeling the same about feeling like Caroline is my go to friend. Thank you my friend!😊
I've been going back and forth through your channel and I just finished watching every single video! And I think you're gonna post the next one tomorrow. Sooo looking forward to it :D
I came to this video because I saw your viral video first then watched your newest video saying how hard you worked in this one and I fell in love with your personality so now of COURSE I gotta support a friend and watch her video!!
So well done! A real pleasure to watch, as always. Loved your spaced out interlude with voice-over. I too am a Paige Wassel fan....
❤️❤️❤️thanks Katie!
Hey Caroline! Just started watching your videos. You’re so fun to watch! :D I just paused your video at the Adam Grant section because I needed to let you know that I started as a programmer and then tried acting! Haha. I was good at coding and bad at acting. But I didn’t really enjoy either of them. Neither expressed my interests or values. Now I’m a psychotherapist. The difference in how my work energizes me is like night and day! Doing something we don’t love for work is like if we’re all chewing bitter pills for our daily nutrition and collectively concluded that eating is just something everyone has to do throughout the day to stay alive. Work should fuel you! Even now, I end every working day energized, but I still go into them apprehensive because our culture and my past experience tell me to fear effortful work :/ Isn’t that awful? Oh yeah I’m also into the dead flowers in your background! Maybe it’s the juxtaposition of the visual vibrance and the..deathiness? 😂
thanks for your “reading tangent”! i feel the same.
All excellent info! The reading books comment though, I needed to hear. My brother reads several books a month, good for him, whatever. You know when someone has a mirror and they’re bouncing the light’s reflection into your eyes? That’s what being ADD and trying to read is for me, read a couple sentences…distraction, read the same couple sentences again…distraction, repeat…
I love this video! So much value. Thank you❤ I think you are such a funny person, I enjoy watching your videos!!
Ok, so after watching the one video where you referenced how little interest this one got, I finally got motivated to watch it. Girl, the title is misleading. I was expecting it to be about a very meh to me topic, and was delighted to find out that it really is a “what I’m currently reading/listening to/following” montage.
Man, I’m totally into that! I love getting suggestions on who to read, follow, or listen to for new ideas or for finding kindred spirits that are on my team. Thanks for this episode! 🙂
Just so you know.. I love your channel, your honesty. your passion, your Authenticity and all the suggestions you shared here.
I really appreciate you bringing up your struggles with reading. I've always had reading comprehension issues growing up and several teachers and peers told me I was smart but wasn't "trying hard enough." I'm 28 and have always loved learning but found it daunting to try to read books. I've felt like it was cheating and that I was a bit dumb for using audiobooks and podcasts as my methods for retrieving information. It's nice to see some representation of this elsewhere. You're lovely
I am sooo sorry I did not watch this video earlier. Thank you! I related very much to a few of your points. I feel like had I been exposed to these bits as a younger woman, my life might have taken a different direction. I regret nothing but also wonder always.
