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.

@@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.

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 KZreadr 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!

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. 🎉

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!

thanks for your “reading tangent”! i feel the same.

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.

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 KZread. 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.

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.

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 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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The zone outs are always my favorite parts

The different ways your brain activates when you learn from reading vs hearing or seeing does have value. Working those muscles is important. But yes if you need to absorb most info a certain way, that's the best way for you. But still working on your weaknesses is important vs dismissing reading as a "never" for you.

It helps if you make notes, too (if your learning is academic, rather than something just for you). The different actions, together, help fix the new information into your working memory. Something similar can be done whilst listening to information, otherwise students would never learn anything in a lecture!

I have been feeling depressed lately and lacking in motivation, thank you so much for making a unique and personal inspiration and motivation video 😊

Dude you are my favorite person. Love your videos so much…all of em!

Yesss make more of this! I came from one of your other KZread 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!

(Recently subscribed. I originally found you because I heard the term cottagecore, had no idea what that was so searched KZread for various videos about it to learn more about the esthetic). Found you. Decided your personality is my new best friend and spirit animal . Went thru your entire library and saved about 15 videos on my watch list which I've only gotten half thru so far. 😁 That being said, I've seen you mention about you career changes and the difficulties in going from actor to coder, ect and what is says or doesn't say about you... and I just totally related. At 50, I've had multiple jobs, and career changes. Including in my late 40s. And what I've learned is that creative types are often Renaissance Souls. I heard that term from a book about people like us that explore various interests and often will leap from one skill, craft, trade, career, ect to another. And can actually be quite good at several of them. And whether you realize it or not, those various skills you learn along the way inform or aide the next phase. Your acting and coding seem completely unrelated.... yet you merge aspects of each of those careers along with other jobs to perform the KZread career. It's fascinating the way it works. There are several terms for people like us. Renaissance Souls, Multipassionates, ect. Reading about it helps me see the benefits of being willing to pivot and follow new directions and add new skills to our lifetime toolbox. As far as telling people you are a coder.... you are not "a coder". You are an Actor, Coder, Designer, Content Creator.... all at once. It doesn't matter if you've chosen to not CURRENTLY act. You, due to the skills and networking you've previously established, are still an Actor, as well as a Coder, Designer, ect. Those skills and talents didn't go away. And you always have the right and option to return to it some day. Embrace that. We are more than the title of our current paychecks. We are all the combined skills and talents we've developed thru the years.

Girl, YOU ARE smart!!!

Another great video! Thanks for sharing these great resources.
