Madi! I had tears in my eyes watching this video. I loved that you did a video on this subject and I love the term “soft girl” I read a book called Getting to I Do by Dr Patricia Allen and in that book she talks about feminine and masculine energies which was my first exposure to really thinking about it. That book changed my life and helped me find the first healthy relationship I’ve ever been in because I finally allowed myself to be in my feminine energy. I love learning about this and most recently have been loving John Wineland and his talking about true healthy masculine energy which helps me understand the differences between my partner and I within our relationship. Thank you for all your videos they are both beautiful and inspiring ❤
The “hot girl summer” is so very toxic. Both for women and men. We need to turn inward and focus on doing and living a life of substance, one that heals and nurtures our soul. Thank you for this video.
I sat outside today, in my hot pink bathing suit and made myself a nice iced coffee. I read 2 chapters in my book and even took some time to draw. I FINALLY grew roses in pots this year. So excited! I've been baking some sweets to have with my afternoon tea. I purge my closet finally. No more heels for me (Knee surgery 12 years ago should have stopped them then but I didn't!) Now, I wear gentle and kind clothes for my body, that allows me to be able to twirl at a moments notice. :)
you are my absolute favorite youtuber. sometimes i leave a video feeling defeated and discouraged at a standard i feel i cant meet, but every time i finish one of your videos i feel encouraged, empowered, and inspired to live a little more soft, easy, and free
This. I recently incorporated cycle syncing into my life (at 36, just in time for perimenopause 😂) and it has revolutionized my life. On top of its many physical and mental health benefits, it has put me back in touch with divine feminine energy. Suddenly, so many of the things that I thought mattered about being a woman (my size, my style, my job) don’t anymore. I’m not here to be pretty or to be what others want me to be. I’m here to be the creative, loving, wise force I’m designed to be. And I want to carry that mission into everything I do, from my job to how I show up for my family to my health and self-care.
I’ve been a minimalist for a year now. You’ve inspired me to adopt some slow living aspects. While people are encouraging me to put my 2yo into a Montessori, I’ve decided to take everyday in stride. My kids will grow up too fast - I just know it! As for feminine energy, I’ve stopped wearing makeup and have stopped wearing tight bras. Game changers! Thank you for your videos.
Can you do a video on healing your hormones/your remineralizing/healing drinks? And I would totally buy a cookbook. Love the simple life!! love your content!
Feminine energy has been my internal movement for several years and I am at last honoring it and embracing it! After having my 4th baby in 2020, I began leaning into it and basically just wore skirts and dresses as I was postpartum, and still wear almost exclusively skirts & dresses. I don’t like a hectic, rushing summer. I love days with the kids playing outside in the shade, making peach oatmeal, reading classic books before bedtime. Your videos just nurture my soul. I’m going to try that ice-block with toys! I have 3 boys who would LOVE to “excavate “ dinosaur fossils!
What a beautiful video. Three weeks ago my husband of 15 years walked out on me and I’ve just moved into my own home with my dogs in a new place where no one knows me and I can have a fresh start. Soft girl summer is here👏
I’m so sorry you have had this enter your life. It must be very painful. You are so brave to take the occurrence as an opportunity to create. Create the you that matters, create a life with quality people, create a home. Be brave little bunny . We need that.
I also want to say, I am very sorry for your heartbreak. Losing someone who has been so integral for so long will be a major adjustment, but you seem to be embracing the change. I hope you are able to find your kind and supportive community soon. 😊
I recently found you on TH-cam and I so love your videos!! I now watch it every day and so inspiring….❤ I have 20mons old and #2 coming on it’s way and I was feeling super overwhelmed with so much stuff and things to do! I used to be pretty minimalist by myself living in a different place every year but now with a kid I got lost with new style of living… as a first time mom feeling like I need more baby, kids stuff….more space… 2bed room condo in Hawaii to Huge 5 bedroom house!l with a pool and everything And I can’t manage and keep up maintaining the stuff and the space …cleaning and organize took all my time 😢seems like I had everything I need and I should be happy but found myself super depressed feeling hopeless. (Never ending house work and just keep doing … and not being …) And I found your channel!The minimalists( or a lot of them)I used to follow they all don’t have kids and couldn’t relate anymore but your video gave me hope! Thank you so much for creating and sharing your messages!! I love your style! The house and garden !!! So beautifully created! & wondering where are you located? Thank you again for the and hope inspiration 🥹I really appreciate your creation!
Good morning Madi! I look forward to a video from you so much , I’m a 54 year old mum / nan who has a lot more time these days so really want to embrace the simple things more ( never to late to learn) I find your content so relaxing and inspiring! Such a delightful soul you are ☀️and a beautiful little family too ❤️ Lots of love from Melbourne Australia 🌻
Wow, am I glad I found your channel. I'm a mother and work a full time job, while trying to sink all my creative energy into my channel too. It feels so overwhelming, but I feel this deep calling to "soften" in response instead of toughen up. When the world tells me I need to harden my shell and just "grind", I now feel no desire to do so and wish to do just the opposite. I want to melt into my rawness, cry when I need to, open my arms to anyone who needs a hug, and respond with kindness instead of stress. I don't want to be too busy for people, for my family, for myself.
You’re my favorite TH-camr. I think I’ve watched every single one of your videos. 😂 You inspire me madi. I’ve been a minimalist for years but I never really got the slow living part until a few months ago thanks to your videos. I share your videos to a lot of people. Thanks for this content. You are changing things for a lot of people and their mindset.
This was my life when I was a stay at home mom!!! We had the best life ❤️ I have an awesome family 😊 it has evolved into wonderful memories ❤️ more to come 😊
You are the friend I wish I had locally. Madi, I’ve just recently found your channel, but I’m so glad that I did. This video is everything I’ve been trying to externalize over the past year. ❤️
@@MadisunGray Very much so! Leaving social media has allowed me to see where my heart could use some healing. The past few years have been pretty traumatic emotionally, but I feel like your channel encompasses everything that I held dear but stifled to “fit in”. It’s like watching someone else live wholly this way has encouraged myself to open up those parts of me again. Okay, that sounded way corny 🫣🙃 but simply just saying “thank you for the inspiration” didn’t send the right vibe.
I too wish there was a local group. I think we must all be out in our gardens and a little hard to locate. Lol. I’m in South Carolina if that’s close to you.
@@mrs.walstrom oh wow! You must have amazing weather. We are traveling to Blaine this summer because I’ve never been that far west. Is there anything amazing I should see while I’m in your state?
Amen, sista! If there was an option to “like” this video ten more times I would! This was such a beautiful reminder as I got home from a busy day. We walked the dog, ate dinner outside and played Rumikub on the patio. Thank you for your content! I absolutely LOVE it!!
As usual, I love you and thank you! Such a kindred spirit. You have a gift for spreading these messages in a light, very digestible way that resonates deeply. I read something recently that resonated…that was something along the lines of…feminine has become, “I can do anything you can do (masculine),” when instead we could be embracing “I can do things that you cannot.” Embracing our softness is such a gift and I’m right there on that journey with you. I’m a mama to 22 month old girl and nothing has healed me or softened me more on my life journey thus far. I feel more wild and free and live more slowly since having her, but I’ll tell ya I did have to walk through a lot of anxiety and resistance and let go of old beliefs to step into this new softer journey lol. Anyways, thanks again Madisun, you have shown up multiple times in my gratitude journal lately lol. I’m grateful for your content. Be well dear friend. 🤗🌈❤️
Oh ya, also curious how you went about healing your hormones and adrenal fatigue? I’ve been working on that with a naturopath since having baby and postpartum depletion and curious what works for you. I noticed in another video you had, that you drink an “adrenal elixir” like I do with orange juice, coconut water, and salt.” What else works for you?❤️🥰🙏🏻
Very jelly of the garden & outdoor content. My spring garden was on point but summer in south Texas is brutal. 105+ degrees and very high humidity. I’ve lived in south Texas my whole life but I was just telling my husband maybe it’s time to move 😅. I want to create these nostalgic summers but truthfully we spend a lot of time inside during summer because the heat is rough. Come November we get to enjoy better weather.
Awww. This was so sweet. It really touched my heart!! Thank you for talking about femininity. I read somewhere that all humans have the feminine and masculine energies within them. The feminine energy is the "just be", spiritual, doing things for no reason; just because it's fun, connecting with others. The masculine energy is the doing, planning, organizing, logic and reason, the get 'er done! I am glad you made the decision years ago to embrace your authenticity and become fully you! Your authenticity now includes your softer side! How lovely!! Your life must feel so much Fuller and Richer now!! 🥰 Thanks for sharing with us Madisun!!
Always look forward to your videos. I’m a Southern California (lived here all my life) and though I love it, sometimes that pressure to keep extra busy and hustle can be so draining. Love slow, simple living and the intentionality that comes with it. Lately that’s looked like making sourdough, homemade matcha, and painting for me.
Love the fruit metaphors lol. We just planted 8 fruit trees in our yard today and I’m exhausted and my hands are dry and blistered and I am decidedly not the picture of “feminine” right now lol but nothing can make me happier than a day out working on our property with my husband and son. Also I am jealous of your peaches and I’m excited for when my tree starts producing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE to all the sonftness, the natural beauty, the slowness! All your videos are so inspiring and/or encouraging to me to continue going with the flow and live life the way I need and want it. Thank you Madi ❤✨
Your videos and shorts get better every week! I am taking time this summer to jump in the pool every morning and every evening and soak in the sunshine and summer vibes. Summer is my favorite time of the year.
You teach me so much of what I used to hold so dear. No that I am older and I’m almost at the empty nest stage, I have begun again to realize how important it is to slow down and smell the roses. Unfortunately my children and I had to suffer through the rat race of trying to survive in a world not built for a single mother to take time out to slow down. Now, a bit late, but really trying to make those little moments with the babies I created, and their babies to make life what I d always known it should be. The big message here is make the most of just the little things, like baking together, growing some flowers, if you can’t grow a garden, and getting out in nature. I love your videos. I think we could all benefit from a bit of your advice. Thank you ❤
Oooo I loved this one so much Madi! You are the only one I know that has the gifting to actually capture slow living in such a non pressured and realistic way. When I watch your videos it makes me feel how easy it is to just live your life but let the magic of simplicity awaken your senses that God gave you. Let enjoying your life be worship to Him. We know life is but a vapor but I love what Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, unto the Lord and not for men." This is done so much easier with a simplified home, schedule, menu, expectations about life and yourself. Thank you for all the hard work you do to share with us your heart, home and family. It truly is a gift!
I absolutely love this! I'm in South Africa, so it's winter now, and I've just had my 3rd baby a week ago, so I'm all for slowing down and enjoying all the simple and small things! Absolutely beautiful video! And your cobbler looks delicious!
im saving up for one of those lomi composter thingys! i love your videos so much i even hunted down that billabong dress and its my husbands FAV dress on me and he has not complemented me on any i have worn other than yoga pants since my son was born 8 years ago!!!! THANK YOU FOR helping me become a happier, more content with my life mom and wife. your the best!!!
Hi Madisun! I want to thank you for your awesome videos! Since I discovered your channel I have been binging your content because it‘s just what I needed and enjoy in my life currently. I recently reduced my hours at work down to a third oh what O used to work and quit night shifts because I long for more family time as a young mom and so - as you can imagine - your videos helped me stand my inner ground. I want to leave you with some constructive criticism, because I am being egoistic here haha. When I watch your videos I have a hard time focusing on everything I want to: your footage is so lovely, I like the shots, I am always curious about the small details on the background and love to observe your style; etc, so naturally I am in a rush to read the captions/text, and often miss half of either the words or I miss looking at your scenes. Suggestion: voice over? I mean, we don‘t want to miss out on the good background music; either but maybe a mix of music and voice overs to go with the scenes you share? ♥️👍🏼🙏🏻 keep up the good work, you‘re amazing!
Beautiful video. I do prefer a voice over so I can really enjoy your visual content while really taking in your words. It’s a very therapeutic experience! On an unrelated note I was wondering what became of you starting a podcast? Podcasts are my absolute favorite media and I was so stoked for you to start one! After listening to you on Mellow Mamas podcast I think you would add so much to that space. Your content is broad, but specific.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Great ideas and recipes. And your voice! It’s a delight to hear you sing. Wow - thank you. I look forward to your videos…slow, intentional living has been my life practice for many years, and the benefits are so expansive. I so enjoy your authenticity - such a pleasant alternative to most of the blop on TH-cam. Your efforts are wonderful - you are BRINGING IT, GIRLFRIEND. Gratitude echoes. ❤
Beautiful video! I love your content. I have done a lot of soft girl summer stuff so far. Less make up, made chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, laid in my hammock, etc…
Madi, I loved all of the beautiful vibes this video had! You captured so much tenderness... And....I can't believe how much you're doing with your backyard! It must be all of that good help you get from those tiny hands😊
I really loved the idea of being old-fashioned! Thank you for your content - it is just amazing. I would really love to hear your voice in your videos 💕
🌱Definitely being intentional this season, to learn more about feminine energy and Gods purpose for us queens ! I’m definitely with you ! Also, my son made cheesecake for the first time last night …. I was inspired to get in kitchen with me … Thank you ❤
I am 76 Madisun - and I LOVE watching your vlogs! Your family is fortunate to have you - you are fortunate to have them !!! Let us all slow down and smell the roses!
it's all easy and done.. when you have a solid family life. i don't have that, i had to navigate having no grandmas, an awful relationship with my mother, and my dad leaving me when i was young, and him dying a year ago.. and now im closer to 30, and these things really impact your adulthood. i have no role model, except Jesus. But Your family inspires me, i hope to have my own one day, but who knows.. maybe i am destined to die alone.. at this point. 💔🕊️
If I may…. I’m 60, been a believer since I was 14. Had a terrible childhood, No role models. I found the Scripture that says that even when our Father and mother have forsaken us, the Lord will take us up and adopt us as His own. From that moment I looked only to Him for what I needed. I could then love and forgive those in my life that didn’t love and take care of me as they should. This is not saying the behaviors were ok, just that I forgave them. Our Heavenly Father is a good Father, so let Him heal all your broken parts. Then you will be free to go into a healthy marriage. 🥰
I love all your videos! But can you read the small print in your videos aloud? lol. It's so hard for me to sit still and stare at the screen while reading the small print. Your content is so GREAT! So motivating and soothing. I usually play your videos while either cleaning, folding laundry or decluttering stuff.🙏 :) I recently started my minimalism journey. 💕
I am 43 and just embracing slow living fully. I have tried before, but never really mastered it. I feel it’s never too late. I’m a SAHM/homeschool mama of 4. They are 17,15,11,5. We own our own businesses and have a TH-cam channel 6breakingloose. We are fully committed to this now. We kind of fell off when covid hit. It’s like it sucked the life out of us and something was lost. I trying to become more focused and motivated. Doing more self care and enjoying the small things in life. Taking in the small things. That in the long run are huge experiences. Thank you for your beautiful content and reminding us all to take it in and SLOW DOWN ❤❤❤❤ much love from #6breakingloose. Niagara Falls Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️
I have no idea what hot girl summer is and decided it’s ok if I never know. I love just being me. I love creating and I love home. On this solstice my garden is full of life and my heart is full of gratitude for the people in my life. Women who are comfortable in their own skin just make life nicer for the people around us. Here’s to finding who each of us was created to be.
Totally and completely love this Madi!!! Thanks you.. if you can plz share your recipes with us us!!!! You homemade ice cream Marshmallows Pies Etc.... Thanks bunches 💓
I so love the vibes of this video and watching gives me a moment to take a deep breath whilst I take a break from a busy summer schedule. What a dream & how blessed you are. You give me hope that one day I can slow things down. By the way who is singing? I luv her voice?
It is nice to feel dirt on your feet. I hope the composting goes well. Are you new to composting? I loved to do so for the past decade. I no longer have a garden though and so it just sits in a bin now :: sigh :: I miss gardening. I used to put hay in my garden like you too. I don't see too many people doing that. Your daughter's dress is so pretty!
Don’t know how ya do it girlfriend ? The first 10 seconds makes me want to tear up with joy and do a little dance 🥲 💃☀️ 🌱 🐝 👨🌾 👨👩👧👦 Cant wait to start #wholehearted 🎉
I really enjoy your videos, so calming and intentional. I think you would really like Yenny Morales. Her videos are about slow living and minimalism and are very calm and nurturing as well.
Let's lean into feminine energy this summer. Who's with me? 🙋🏼♀️
or a balance of both ❤️ this society has definitely been in an imbalance of not enough feminine for a long time though!
& beautiful video as always ❤️

Right here! 🖐🏽...cause I'm tired of doing all the things 😂 Girlfriend needs a break, for more of what comes more natural. Playfulness aside...YES 😁❤️
Me! Love this video!!!
Totally agree! Femenine energy is welcoming , relaxed, nurturing and loving ❤. We need more of that in the world. Great video as always 😊
The “hot girl summer” is so very toxic. Both for women and men. We need to turn inward and focus on doing and living a life of substance, one that heals and nurtures our soul. Thank you for this video.

What a beautiful video. Three weeks ago my husband of 15 years walked out on me and I’ve just moved into my own home with my dogs in a new place where no one knows me and I can have a fresh start. Soft girl summer is here👏
Good luck for the future. Better to be alone than with the wrong person. ❤️🖖🪴🇦🇺🇭🇺

This is so sweet. Thank you ❤️
your insight on the competitive race to femininity was spot on. Loved this one! (just need those recipes). 🤩
I’ve always been more masculine energy and at 31 now I just want to ditch that and embrace my feminine energy and explore that side of me
Yes! I think we all have some of both but it’s fun to explore the feminine side for me too :)
Loved the music and cinematography, but missed your calming voice overs. Thank you Madi for sharing your life with us.
I am a burnt out teacher and I am super excited to lean into the soft girl summer life❤️
YES 🙌🏾

Love slow, simple living and the intentionality that comes with it. Lately that’s looked like making sourdough, homemade matcha, and painting for me.
Aw I love it!
Love the fruit metaphors lol. We just planted 8 fruit trees in our yard today and I’m exhausted and my hands are dry and blistered and I am decidedly not the picture of “feminine” right now lol but nothing can make me happier than a day out working on our property with my husband and son. Also I am jealous of your peaches and I’m excited for when my tree starts producing.
I dream of having fruit trees on my property 🙌🏾
I LOVE this concept!
Soft girl summer. The world needs this ❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE to all the sonftness, the natural beauty, the slowness!
All your videos are so inspiring and/or encouraging to me to continue going with the flow and live life the way I need and want it.
Thank you Madi ❤✨
This is so sweet thank you 😘
Your videos and shorts get better every week! I am taking time this summer to jump in the pool every morning and every evening and soak in the sunshine and summer vibes. Summer is my favorite time of the year.
This is what I needed today, at the start of my own realisation that I thrive in simplicity and learning to weave that into my everyday life ❤
Lovely video as always 🥰 I have to remember to slow down and enjoy often, I’m a mama of five boys 💙💙💙💙💙
Once again another wonderful video full of great reminders! Cheers to soft girl summers!
You teach me so much of what I used to hold so dear. No that I am older and I’m almost at the empty nest stage, I have begun again to realize how important it is to slow down and smell the roses. Unfortunately my children and I had to suffer through the rat race of trying to survive in a world not built for a single mother to take time out to slow down. Now, a bit late, but really trying to make those little moments with the babies I created, and their babies to make life what I d always known it should be. The big message here is make the most of just the little things, like baking together, growing some flowers, if you can’t grow a garden, and getting out in nature. I love your videos. I think we could all benefit from a bit of your advice. Thank you ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
This was so Madisun! The tips, music, words and beauty of it all ❤ Thank you for sharing this 🙌
Thank you for watching ❤️
Women have this unique ability to influence and create a beautiful environment/ambiance/mood. We really set the tone. It’s so valuable and POWERFUL!
Well said 🙌🏾
Oooo I loved this one so much Madi! You are the only one I know that has the gifting to actually capture slow living in such a non pressured and realistic way. When I watch your videos it makes me feel how easy it is to just live your life but let the magic of simplicity awaken your senses that God gave you. Let enjoying your life be worship to Him. We know life is but a vapor but I love what Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, unto the Lord and not for men." This is done so much easier with a simplified home, schedule, menu, expectations about life and yourself. Thank you for all the hard work you do to share with us your heart, home and family. It truly is a gift!
I absolutely love this! I'm in South Africa, so it's winter now, and I've just had my 3rd baby a week ago, so I'm all for slowing down and enjoying all the simple and small things!
Absolutely beautiful video! And your cobbler looks delicious!
I would love to take your course one day, but for now I just look forward to your uploads! Thanks for another lovely video :)
Aw so glad you’re enjoying them!
What encouragement! Wish I had started this journey when I was young. At the age of 65 not sure how to get started.
im saving up for one of those lomi composter thingys! i love your videos so much i even hunted down that billabong dress and its my husbands FAV dress on me and he has not complemented me on any i have worn other than yoga pants since my son was born 8 years ago!!!! THANK YOU FOR helping me become a happier, more content with my life mom and wife. your the best!!!
Wow this is so sweet. Thank you ❤️
Hi Madisun! I want to thank you for your awesome videos! Since I discovered your channel I have been binging your content because it‘s just what I needed and enjoy in my life currently. I recently reduced my hours at work down to a third oh what O used to work and quit night shifts because I long for more family time as a young mom and so - as you can imagine - your videos helped me stand my inner ground.
I want to leave you with some constructive criticism, because I am being egoistic here haha. When I watch your videos I have a hard time focusing on everything I want to: your footage is so lovely, I like the shots, I am always curious about the small details on the background and love to observe your style; etc, so naturally I am in a rush to read the captions/text, and often miss half of either the words or I miss looking at your scenes. Suggestion: voice over? I mean, we don‘t want to miss out on the good background music; either but maybe a mix of music and voice overs to go with the scenes you share? ♥️👍🏼🙏🏻 keep up the good work, you‘re amazing!
Beautiful video. I do prefer a voice over so I can really enjoy your visual content while really taking in your words. It’s a very therapeutic experience! On an unrelated note I was wondering what became of you starting a podcast? Podcasts are my absolute favorite media and I was so stoked for you to start one! After listening to you on Mellow Mamas podcast I think you would add so much to that space. Your content is broad, but specific.
Thank you ❤️ podcast is still planned. But I’m giving myself grace to make sure I have the time I need to make it professional.
Beautiful video, thank you, just what I needed when I woke up with searing rage today.
❤️
Such a wonderful video! Thank you for making it and sharing it with us!
❤️❤️ thank you for watching
Another absolutely beautiful and wonderful video!!! My younger self really needed your content, I am so very grateful to have it now!
I’m so glad ❤️
Thank you for inspiration and calming vibes ❤
Love this video!! Thanks
Love this video! Great music and photography. I agree with all the comments too
Your videos just make me smile ❤
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Great ideas and recipes. And your voice! It’s a delight to hear you sing. Wow - thank you. I look forward to your videos…slow, intentional living has been my life practice for many years, and the benefits are so expansive. I so enjoy your authenticity - such a pleasant alternative to most of the blop on TH-cam. Your efforts are wonderful - you are BRINGING IT, GIRLFRIEND. Gratitude echoes. ❤
seeing you life this live has become one of my biggest inspiration! thank you for all your content, always really looking forward to new videos 🥰
This is so sweet. Thank you 😘
I absolutely love this video! Thank you for sharing all your tips 😊
Beautiful video! I love your content. I have done a lot of soft girl summer stuff so far. Less make up, made chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, laid in my hammock, etc…
Love that!
Madi, I loved all of the beautiful vibes this video had! You captured so much tenderness...
And....I can't believe how much you're doing with your backyard!
It must be all of that good help you get from those tiny hands😊
Yes! Hahah thank you love ❤️
This reminds me that I can do more of what I love. Thank you! What recipe did you follow for the ice cream? I've always been tempted to try it!

Thank you for this video Madisun ❤
I really loved the idea of being old-fashioned! Thank you for your content - it is just amazing. I would really love to hear your voice in your videos 💕
Thank you for your support ❤️
🌱Definitely being intentional this season, to learn more about feminine energy and Gods purpose for us queens ! I’m definitely with you ! Also, my son made cheesecake for the first time last night …. I was inspired to get in kitchen with me … Thank you ❤
❤️
What a joy it is to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you ❤️
I am 76 Madisun - and I LOVE watching your vlogs! Your family is fortunate to have you - you are fortunate to have them !!! Let us all slow down and smell the roses!
Loved this video, so calming!
I love your videos and the refreshing content you provide. :)
Thank you ❤️
it's all easy and done.. when you have a solid family life. i don't have that, i had to navigate having no grandmas, an awful relationship with my mother, and my dad leaving me when i was young, and him dying a year ago.. and now im closer to 30, and these things really impact your adulthood. i have no role model, except Jesus. But Your family inspires me, i hope to have my own one day, but who knows.. maybe i am destined to die alone.. at this point. 💔🕊️
If I may…. I’m 60, been a believer since I was 14. Had a terrible childhood, No role models. I found the Scripture that says that even when our Father and mother have forsaken us, the Lord will take us up and adopt us as His own.
From that moment I looked only to Him for what I needed. I could then love and forgive those in my life that didn’t love and take care of me as they should. This is not saying the behaviors were ok, just that I forgave them. Our Heavenly Father is a good Father, so let Him heal all your broken parts. Then you will be free to go into a healthy marriage. 🥰
I love your videos! They are so beautiful and inspiring ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
I love all your videos! But can you read the small print in your videos aloud? lol. It's so hard for me to sit still and stare at the screen while reading the small print. Your content is so GREAT! So motivating and soothing. I usually play your videos while either cleaning, folding laundry or decluttering stuff.🙏 :) I recently started my minimalism journey. 💕
One of my favorite videos❤
I am 43 and just embracing slow living fully. I have tried before, but never really mastered it. I feel it’s never too late. I’m a SAHM/homeschool mama of 4. They are 17,15,11,5. We own our own businesses and have a TH-cam channel 6breakingloose. We are fully committed to this now. We kind of fell off when covid hit. It’s like it sucked the life out of us and something was lost. I trying to become more focused and motivated. Doing more self care and enjoying the small things in life. Taking in the small things. That in the long run are huge experiences. Thank you for your beautiful content and reminding us all to take it in and SLOW DOWN ❤❤❤❤ much love from #6breakingloose. Niagara Falls Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️
❤️❤️ you got this!
Needed thus video today! Thank you for your videos 💗 I really enjoy watching them!
Thank you for watching ❤️
I have no idea what hot girl summer is and decided it’s ok if I never know. I love just being me. I love creating and I love home. On this solstice my garden is full of life and my heart is full of gratitude for the people in my life. Women who are comfortable in their own skin just make life nicer for the people around us. Here’s to finding who each of us was created to be.
❤️❤️
What a beautiful video and message. Thank you 🙏💕🧡

I so love the vibes of this video and watching gives me a moment to take a deep breath whilst I take a break from a busy summer schedule. What a dream & how blessed you are. You give me hope that one day I can slow things down. By the way who is singing? I luv her voice?
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Wonderful video and so needed ❤
Thank you ❤️
It is nice to feel dirt on your feet. I hope the composting goes well. Are you new to composting? I loved to do so for the past decade. I no longer have a garden though and so it just sits in a bin now :: sigh :: I miss gardening. I used to put hay in my garden like you too. I don't see too many people doing that.
Your daughter's dress is so pretty!
Yes, thank you ❤️
I love your videos, they are so relaxing!
Thank you ❤️
