Ask a Minimalist! Answering Your Questions About My Life & Minimalism

[@emmatrigg9855]

Hi Connie, I just want to say that I’ve never thought you were too slow speaking. Your pace of talking is lovely and calm. It also helps because I struggle with auditory processing and often need subtitles. I’m 36, I love your videos and you look gorgeous at 48!

[@theloveyourfacegal2773]

Beautiful family 👪

[@Bella_0303]

I thought the same exact thing when she was answering this question. Her voice is so soothing. 😊

[@marianieminen5226]

Agreed…you do not speak slow. Your Calming soft voice is appreciated ❤

[@inezy6329]

Yes..as an Asian it is sometimes painful to listen to Americans talk..high pitch, very fast n loud n kind of nervous n would make me have anxiety n fast breathing..unlike American youtubers, most (not all) Asian youtubers either don't speak at all or speak very little n the volume is slower...that' why I choose to listen to American youtubers who only speak softly like Dr Berg, Cottage Fairy etc.. however, this is only my personal preference..

[@jeffj318]

Your voice is so soothing. Videos along with your voice really give a calming affect.

[@lindathomas9844]

I love the speed of your voice I really dislike and am put off by presenters speaking to quickly.I think when you speak it’s calming and clear.Thank you

[@ltlt5268]

Yes I love that too!

[@ice-mp5dx]

Same here. Even though their content is good the hurried, out of breath, loud voice grates on my nerves.

[@banjobaebee]

I agree!

[@sandidueckman1491]

Completely agree. I've even found myself saying to people that speak very quickly, I can't listen as quickly as you speak! 😂

[@enatp6448]

Here. Here. I second that..

[@kcbakos3121]

I have a traumatic brain injury since 2008 also from a car accident. Time heals and it's been a long journey with improvements each year. Quiet is my friend. I learned to say no to activities and live on a low fixed income. God blesses me each and every day. ❤

[@sherriepiechowski4556]

I think you are one of the classiest women I have ever witnessed on KZbin or any other social media venue. Possibly because you are so true to yourself and the people you interact with yet you are never trying to be someone else. There is to much jealousy in our world today and you have done the hard work of excepting yourself right where you are in life and where you want to be. I look forward to your videos and meditation channel each week. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure.

[@ConnieRiet]

Sherrie, thank you so much for your kind words! They mean so much to me and I really appreciate them. Self-love comes down to acceptance of who I am. Loving my strengths and appreciating my weaknesses. Thank you for your support! happiness & peace my friend

[@mooshway2000]

I agree.

[@sharonp4106]

Agreed! In addition, your voice is so calming and the manner in which you speak has such a soothing effect on my psyche. ❤

[@zzukiyaki7521]

I agree. So Classy like Robin in Faith & Flour. ❤

[@enatp6448]

Your calm slow speaking voice and gentle presence is a gift in a hectic and fast world. Thank you. ❤

[@lindaspaight3871]

I think I was one of your first two thousand subscribers and have never commented before. This is my favorite video. I think when kind, grounded, honest, sweet people like you share their story, the world is a better place. The qualities of your character make you someone to whom we can all relate and wish there were more of in the world. Thank you for sharing you - you are very special.

[@ConnieRiet]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much, Linda, for such a lovely compliment. I appreciate your support over the years as this channel has grown. Sending you heartfelt happiness & peace my friend, Connie

[@anneg3752]

Connie-Love both of your channels 🙂 I appreciate your calm narrations they truly relax me... part of why I love your channel. I wasn't aware you were a life coach; I am sure you are an excellent one! Book or journal...you would have my support 🙂 You are adorable and inspiring, thank you for the wonderful content.

[@gail7998]

That was fun! As I watched & listened to this, I realized that I never had any questions in the past while watching your videos. I just focused on the messages. I never thought that you spoke slowly and many other things that were brought out through people's questions. I'm 68 and embraced my silver & dark brown hair later in life. I'm so much happier accepting it's natural color. I wear it below my shoulders and often wear it in a loose French braid. I often get many compliments on my hair from all age groups, which at first, shocked me! Ladies, don't be afraid of changes in your hair (my unsolicited suggestion). But those who would rather color it, I support you.

[@kristinj7173]

I love the pacing of your speech, as it is calming and easy to comprehend and to be present with you. As someone else stated, I feel other youtubers speak much too quickly and edit their videos to cut out any natural breaks. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😊

[@yychoi1]

I am Korean and based in greater Seoul, Korea. I've become a huge fan of your youtube since 2022. Especially watching your videos with a cup of coffee on Sunday morning has become part of my Sunday morning rituals, thanks to all the positive, healing energies all your videos provide, including your wonderfully voice. Thanks indeed for all such inspirational posts in may regards .

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi! Thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. I'm thrilled to be part of your Sunday morning!. Sending you happiness & peace my friend

[@katherineperson]

Thanks for sharing all of this, Connie. I love how calming your voice is. In fact, I usually can’t watch KZbin videos where people talk in a fast or rushed pace. Can’t wait to see what your big changes are! Sending positive thoughts for your upcoming transitions.

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you for sending positive energy my way! I will need ALL I can get😅

[@sarahchaprobin32]

I love the way you take your time speaking. I find many KZbinrs sound frenetic, they speak so fast, and I find my stress levels rising listening to them. You sound calm and calming, I love it!

[@HerCupOfSIMPLE]

Connie!! You look so radiant and happy in this video! Your smile was contagious!!🤗💝✨️

[@ענתכהן-פ7ז]

Thank you for being true and honest and a simple human being. That makes your way of living even more appreciative.

[@ConnieRiet]

🙏😊

[@janinepowell7781]

Connie we love and appreciate you so very much too… you have become my evening ritual..turning in and hearing your lovely calm voice , and thank you for being you and being here for us all, we love you ❤

[@sandhyatiwari7]

The first video I watched of yours was a couple of months back without putting the volume on while I was putting my toddler to bed and I subscribed instantly without even knowing what and how you said it. You give that vibe. Your existence gives peace and calmness and you have so much capability just by being yourself. I want to become more of your being. Just like how contented you are. You inspire me so much. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 thank you for being who you are.

[@ConnieRiet]

Oh my! thank you so much, Sandhya, for your kind words of encouragement and support. I appreciate it more than you know. I'm so glad that my content resonates with you. Sending you happiness & peace my friend

[@rebeccagallard5916]

Loved this video! I look forward to every Friday morning ( in Australia 😊) having a cuppa and watching your video on my day off.

[@cristalclear926]

Hi Connie! I just recently discovered your channel and I LOVE it! Your voice is so calming. Please don’t change a thing! Love your content too!

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you so much!

[@claudiabecker4673]

Thanks for speaking slowly, as I am not a native English speaker, this allows me to listen in a very relaxed way and it's so calming anyway!:)

[@ConnieRiet]

I'm glad my pace of speech works well for you💗

[@johng.4959]

Besides your husband being the luckiest guy in the world, love the fact that you both embrace the minimalism lifestyle. Great video. (Even for us lone men.)👍

[@ConnieRiet]

AWE! Thanks, John.

[@LG-zy9dp]

I wouldn’t question the voice or why you speak slow. To me your voice sounds peaceful and calm like the music you play. Just thought it all made sense. 🙌♥️ love your videos

[@anthonyfragola3272]

I appreciate your openness to questions and honest responses. Your calm and gentle voice and clear articulation is a gift in this hectic world of constant strife.

[@terryfeally6633]

In a world that seems to be careening so fast that nobody gets a chance to breathe or think,I am for more slower and mindful. Life is NOT a race,but a long term sustainable journey.

[@ConnieRiet]

I love that! "life is not a race."

[@claudiaa.1591]

I like the way you speak, it's soothing and reflective. I'd have never guessed you had a serious accident. Ignore the nasty comments, you speak perfectly well.

[@edmarferreirajunior724]

And we, the non-native English speakers, say thank you for speaking so slowly. Greetings from a native Portuguese speaker!

[@Sharon-nq1ff]

Connie, thank you for sharing your life and all of the videos. I am 70 and just stopped dyeing my hair, with grey in front and the edges and dark brown in the back. Just embracing my grey as you mention, love your hair. You are very positive with informative messages with a calm and clear voice. That is what caught my interest when I was searching positive videos. You are my positive energy medicine. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks so much Sharon. I appreciate your support.

[@katylaurent7097]

I like when you speak slowly and I like your voice too. It is soothing to the ear so sod them. :)

[@quietlife7186]

I deeply appreciate your calm, gentle and slow speech. I have neurological challenges. I have learned so much from you. I am trying to make changes as I am able to live a more minimalist life style. I am trying to create a sustainable life style that suits my and my husband's needs. We are elderly and will soon be retiring and making a move to our final home. Thank you for your work, and for sharing what helps you live well. Your content on thriving as a TBI survivor is a huge blessing to me. 💐

[@ConnieRiet]

I'm so glad that my content resonates with you! Thank you for your support

[@tanyarandall1057]

I'm not a minimalist. In fact, I'm the opposite. But for some reason, I love following you. ❤

[@ritastutler1470]

I know. Same

[@kimcunningham2107]

I think you are lovely, gentle and wise. Your videos bring me such peace. I thank you for that. 💜

[@areti7802]

To be honest the reason I subscribed to your channel was your calm slow speaking voice, I had know idea it had something to do with brain injury 😢 hope you have fully recovered from the experience I' ve discovered your channel today and have watched so many videos of yours already, thank you for sharing so much valuable content with us ❤️

[@h.m.j9507]

I have run across your channel and really enjoy your content. The world needs more people like you to offer such a calming presence and encouragement. My takeaway and aha moment from today is that all or nothing approach leaves me drained- thank you for pointing that out! And thank you for putting your wonderful work and content out ❤

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you for your support!

[@lesliebryce6074]

We appreciate you too! Have a beautiful day my friend.

[@williamclark1244]

I love your voice. It's very welcoming. I never thought of you as a slow talker. I guess people are so used to hearing people talking fast, cutting people off and talking over others then it might appear that way to them.

[@ConnieRiet]

💗

[@WeAreBullets]

you are a gem, you and your videos warm my heart. and there is a sense of cheesy-ness in your videos that i 100% appreciate lol first time i saw your vids they reminded me of an SNL spoof commercial cause your videos are so intentionally relaxing its so perfect. i love love love how wholesome and peaceful your videos are. thank you for making them and thank you for being you ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🏻

[@marciahess6623]

You have a calm manner and are so easy to listen too ❤

[@lisapaulsen2940]

I throughly enjoyed this video! It’s nice to kind of get to know you in a sense. It is also relaxing and calming to hear you speak. I could listen to you all day!! Thank you Connie! I’m always looking forward to more videos!

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks, Lisa!

[@eunoia1016]

The question about your voice…..I think you have a very elegant, thoughtful cadence to your voice.

[@rondalandis2191]

I love the way you talk slowly & softly.

[@mariacristinabevilacqua614]

Connie: I'm an English student from Argentina and I like minimalism, too. So, watching your videos is a powerful and double pourpose tool for me! TYSM 🤗🇦🇷

[@clarewoosley8376]

I don’t think you speak too slowly. I love the way you speak, so calm and relaxed. I can’t tell at all that you’ve had a brain injury. I just discovered your videos, so I’ll probably be watching some more! 😊

[@aswathyspillai]

Hi, I am from India. I like your videos and now you became an inspiration. I'm a single mother and moving through in a very difficult condition- financially. I don't have any friends. Nobody will hear me. They said that they are very much busy and they don't have enough time to spend with me. Now I'm 42. Once I thought that I should quit, but this kind of videos helped me a lot for survive. I am not an independent person, I'm in control of my parents- emotional blackmailing, financial control and so much. This kind of videos will give a soothing effect in my life, I really accepted you as my friend and sister. Thank you for such videos

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi my Indian sister! I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. Life is not always fair, but there is still beauty in it if we look for it. Love yourself, your babies, and find moments of joy. Sending you happiness and peace my friend, Connie

[@bex438]

I really enjoyed watching this video Connie, thank you for sharing more details about your life - I also love your hair, I'm a few months younger than you & trying to embrace the ever increasing grey in my own hair by feeling grateful for the chance to still be here to experience ageing 🙏

[@ConnieRiet]

I feel the same way about aging. Growing old is a gift that many never experience.

[@sarakelleher3590]

I love this thank you for being so open. You calm me and it's refreshing to go to your channel at the end of a very busy day. I'd love future video on thoughts different living situations you've experienced. Me and my spouse are in our 50's/60s and much talk going on. P.s can't believe the fridge question but we all have different perspectives so it's fair. Again thank you☀️🌻🌄

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi Sara! Actually, the upcoming videos will be featuring some of our past and future lifestyles. I hope that they will give you and your husband inspiration! Thank you for your support.

[@sweetlampe]

Wow your hair looks beautiful on you, your skin is Radiant . The way you dress is very modest, I like it. Your voice is lovely and calming.😊

I paid to have my entire apartment emptied after almost 24 years at age 79, and I moved to Queretaro. for a safer and less expensive city in Mexico. I do not carry a purse or cash, for I stay home. I do have 6 months food and rent money. The money is to pay my rent, when debit card is down. I moved at 79 to a less expensive and safer country, where there is plenty food etc. I use online shopping for groceries etc. for home delivery.

Thank you Connie for sharing your life experience...you are a comforting person and your way of seeing and practicing this life is very motivating....never to late to change the bad habits if the baby boomers....at 73 you inspire me to go on and make the most of it....keep on sending these beautiful messages...xx Patrick from Canada

[@paulinemarks6207]

I like that you speak more slowly ! It gives me time to process what your saying. There is nothing wrong with me that I know of but I’m old, a 60 something so I ask people who speak fast to speak more slowly so I can catch up and process information 😊😊😊

[@Kate42]

Connie, this was very informative and entertaining as well. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@inasaputra1657]

[@janjentz1053]

What a lovely video. You are so kind to graciously answer all of the viewers questions. I would never have guessed your slower (to me more thoughtful), way you speak was from your injury. I love that you speak clearly and slowly, its calming and easy to listen and understand what you are saying. I love your hairl and think you do a great job cutting it yourself. I was in my 40's when I let the haircolor go. Thanks for all that you shared.

[@ConnieRiet]

Oh my! Thank you so much for your lovely compliments!

Connie hearing and seeing pictures about your life and family is endearing.

my minimalist coffee routine is literally just setting my Kone metal cone filter into my widemouth mug and then doing a pour-over and/or immersion method. so simple and also i dont have to buy the paper filters. of course metal filters doesnt yield a clean cup of coffee like paper filters do but i grew up with that kind of coffee anyways so it doesnt bother me

Hello Connie, I love your voice tone and the fact you speak not too quick, not too slow. I usually listen to your videos while running and it helps me to calm down, enjoy my run and life in general. Thank you for your great content!

[@booksmartlearning]

I think this was a GREAT video! You share so much more of the candid, humorous side to your personality. Your usual videos are very calm and soothing, but we are all multi-faceted individuals so it's nice to see a different angle in this more casual video. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@margysfavourites8444]

New to your channel I really appreciate your candour…. As a fast talker I definitely do not find your speech to slow …..it’s actually quite relaxing. I would love to see how you cut your hair..don,t concern yourself with individual textures….

[@corneliusoberer3054]

Hey Connie I m writing you from Germany and as I m very engaged with Zen buddhism and with minimalism, I love your slow speaking and I was surprised about your story with the accident. I thougt you are speaking so slowly because of meditation and exercising yoga. I found your speaking always calming and giving us an incredible well beeing. Thank you so much for your blog and your also spiritual Work.

It’s refreshing to hear an American talk in a more controlled way. As a UK citizen I find many Americans tend to talk very fast in fractured sentences and don’t take a breath in between. It can be exhausting listening sometimes. If you want to hold an audiences attention this is the way to do it and I love your attitude to life.

[@Cindy-bee]

Thank you Connie, very nice to get to know some details about your life. I never thought you had a boring life at all or spoke to slowly. It appears serene which is a perfect life. So many have too many stresses. I live a serene life now since retiring so I appreciate the daily little things, such as enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee in the morning. Looking forward to seeing what is next for you and your husband.

[@fannyriemath7044]

Watching your KZbin videos in the South of Germany, I got super excited learning about your one daughter living in Germany! 🎉😅 Keep going, you're doing a wonderful job! Stay healthy and I certainly will continue to watch and enjoy (if only sometimes for the awesome landscape in the background!)

[@jannettebecker6223]

First time watching your video . I really like the idea of being minimalist. I have over the last couple of years let alot of things go that have lost any meaningful in my life. And it felt so good. As soon as it gets warmer out I'm going through my garage and seriously down sizing all my huge collection of Christmas decorations.and any other holiday stuff. I have decided after 45 years Im so done. It's amazing how easy it is to let go. My best accomplishment I've done yet was redecorate my kitchen and dining room and the living room just by moving things around from one room to another. I love how it turned out.

[@juanmoran9509]

I love your voice, I find it so soothing. And you're beautiful.

[@mastandstars5869]

This was such a treat to have a sit down chat style video. I’d be happy to see another one in this style when you have the time for it. ❤️

[@marjoriecheadle6052]

Thank you Connie, for sharing so much about you. It actually helps to hear how different people cope with the social pressures, and busyness of life. Your calm, kind demeanour resonates with me, but I worry I am a long way from getting there. As I hear you talk in your videos about working toward goals, it makes me think that I need to sit down and set some concrete goals. Thanks for the “nudge”. I am watching this video after watching your video about leaving the US. I hope things are going well. I will follow along. Take care.

[@Francoise311]

I just discovered your beautiful and inspiring videos. What I love the most about your message is you making it clear that there is not one way of doing things. I am not a minimalist myself but I dislike clutter and like a clean and serene house. Having read about minimalism out of curiosity I have found that it often becomes a kind of fanatic religion and almost an obsession. To me the way to follow is the middle way which differs for everyone. Living in Israel in a city in the middle of the desert, I feel like jumping into your gorgeous snow landscapes and rolling myself in the snow😂. Thank you so much. I wish you the best of health.

[@becky5440]

Would love it if you made monthly Q&A videos like this. And I would totally buy your book if you decided to write one. ❤️

[@anniecochrane3359]

I'm catching up on your videos as I'm a fairly recent subscriber (from Aotearoa/New Zealand) I enjoyed this session. I never think of you as a slow speaker. Rather you communicate with calm. Many 'presenters' speak in a hyped manner, which tires me out, so I never persist with those. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with us.

[@brandyclark6641]

I enjoy your content very much. Your voice is very calming and soothing. I am very impressed with your life’s balance and lessons in which you provide to us. I wish I looked as good as you do especially when we are the same age! Your beautiful! As for the hair I have in the last year started to embrace my natural color too. It is starting to show grays as well. But due to cost anymore I don’t feel I need to invest my money into coloring it atleast in a salon. If I feel the need to add color I will use a box color and do it myself.

[@ConnieRiet]

Oh! Thank you so much. You go girl! Embrace your natural beauty.

[@andeebee2530]

Before I became unwell, I walked around the lake and did yoga everyday. I miss it so much but love watching you out in nature and listening to your messages. This was a great video, it was like sitting having a chat with a friend. Though I would’ve asked, why do other people talk so loud and fast? 😁😆I love your beautiful calm voice and never considered it slow at all. 🥰💕

I really appreciate the pace of your words. ❤ I get way more out of it and the words you choose are more meaningful

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

Regarding "speaking slowly" @ 2:10 in this video. I think your pace is perfect. Too many presenters and KZbinrs speak too fast, in my opinion, and they often try to edit their material so tightly that it sounds like they don't even want to allow a space to take a breath out of fear their viewers will bail on them, if heaven forbid, there is a tiny gap in the sound. Your pace allows your thoughts to "land" in the viewers' minds (which is great) versus rushing along to the next point at breakneck speed.

[@astridsandriesser4232]

You are soooooo beautiful, inside and out! About 40 days ago I started to do my yoga routine and meditation. I made it a daily habit, most of the time at the same time. It makes me feel incredibile. Yes, please, please write a book, I live the idea! Thanks again for all the positivity you put out there.
