Thanks

I NEEDED to see this today! I tried journaling this morning and just felt so blah. This whole year I’ve just felt like I’m all over the place. I’ve been healing and building, but it hasn’t been as focused as I’d like. It’s amazing to hear you think through your processes. I just had surgery in Birmingham and I was like omg I’m in your town! You’re an inspiration! I agree on what you said about short form content. I find myself gravitating to it 80% of the time now. We can’t ignore it as creators. Cheers to a great 2024!

[@AmyCheri]

You’re a mama now 🥰. It completely transforms you in the most beautiful way. I can’t wait to see your interior design content 🎉

[@ZaraKhan-zv8bt]

I love how she prioritise her baby our everything ❤

[@verynaomi]

This video makes me so motivated to make 2024 the best💥

[@annabellreads]

When I set my next year goals, I always write 1 core goal at the top of the page: 1 - Fking Survive. I do have big goals (I AM getting published in 2024), but man, as long as I make it through the year, sometimes that alone is an accomplishment. You can't fight for it if you don't survive.

[@thecozyintrovert]

I am not saying this in a rude way lol, I feel like it might come off that way- but, you don't have to make specific goals and vision boards- just go with the flow of life and enjoy it- nothing magically changes Jan 1st at midnight.

[@joannejensen4369]

Would like a video on LTK on how to start, set up and build👍

[@hayleyholland]

I love that you show the realistic side of goal setting, you didn't sit down and "pretend" to have it all together with some phony made up on the fly stuff just to appear a certain way. I'm sure most people can relate to this, goal setting is important if you want to move forward but it can also be difficult to do especially if you have multiple things going on in your life. Personally I'm still on the fence about short form content, I do think it's important and obviously very popular with the consumer and will continue to be so, however on the flip side, it's a one and done thing - you post and it needs to do well in the first few hours otherwise its gone (is this the same with KZbin shorts?), whereas long form stays searchable forever. I think you are doing the right thing focussing on whichever form of content suits you best at this time in your life. Keep doing what you are doing, I loved your "How to content" and would still enjoy those if you ever went back to it but I also really enjoy seeing how your lift has moved forward and what you are up to now and how your business is evolving :)

[@jemellee]

the short form content is something that i think i'm leaning more towards now. even though i want to do more regular vlogs, i found myself creating a routine and how much easier it is for me to edit on my phone vs taking out my laptop. so im with you! gotta setup my 2024 goals too 💖

[@RomneyRanjo]

Manifesting a successful 2024 for everyone, no matter what that means for each of us ❤️

[@auroralee_co]

Hey Cathrin, as you set goals and plan for 2024, remember to be extra gentle and kind with yourself 💛😊 I have a 10 yo and a 6 yo, and there are so many changes in the first 2-3 years. They are constantly growing and routines have to always be adjusted regularly. Some periods are harder than others. So just want to encourage you that you are doing amazing, and as you plan for next year, be extra gentle with yourself if things don’t happen according to plan. Also, there is usually a lot of internal growth that takes place once you become a mom, so be extra kind to yourself and be sure to take care of yourself too. As they say, can’t pour from an empty cup 💛😊 You are doing amazing! Little Man is so lucky to have you as his mama. And, oh, that new hair is 🔥🔥😉

[@BettinaRae]

I think you nailed it. It’s 100% okay to not know. There is something to to be said for giving yourself the grace to allow life to happen while your life shifts in postpartum. Let yourself follow your curiosity but don’t get caught up pushing towards anything.

[@LogicBlaster]

I gotta confess that I watch fewer of your videos lately, because of all the baby content, which feels wrong, because your life is your life, and the videos should reflect that. But at the same time, my favorite stuff on your channel is the "how to" content, whether it pertains to creating better content on KZbin or fixing up your house. These videos are super engaging, and maybe something you should refocus your energy on. But whatever the case, I love your channel and appreciate what you do!👍

[@SlumberandBloom]

You're doing great with his sleep! Naps are harder than nights because there's less sleep pressure during the day. The brain also processes daytime sleep differently. One nap a day in the crib is GREAT for his age! You're rockin it!

[@KeeganMignonWindowOfBoldMusic]

Congratulations your kid

[@afsanathemamma_]

You inspire me always. I am a mom too sometimes i feel like give up on everything but no I have to keep going life is mine so I am responsible for making my life beautiful

[@laurennicole443]

I was searching for 2024 preparation and I found this video. I love your content and I'm going to go and watch all of it now lol

[@VazhiiSingleton]

I LOVE THIS Girl!!! It helped me realize that I could be doing so much more. Period. As a new mom again it can be hard but just going with the flow and enjoying the journey helps so much.

[@asobrannkarr]

Looking forward to seeing how you’ll find the middleground with being a mom and running a business. Combining big aspects in life is hard and your way going through it and showing it really motivates the audience. Hope you have an amazing 2024🙏

[@CuriousCaseyB]

Love your stuff! I’ve been a follower for a while now! Can you do a video on how to create reels/shorts & maybe tips on how a new content creator can become successful in 2024?

Ok, now I need to do my goals and go over my goals from 2023. It was a crazy year but I was intentional to write down weekly positive things that happened and put them in a jar so I can review them at the end of the year

[@dotsonms]

I understand it's business savvy to do short form, but I haven't learned to enjoy it yet.. Old school 😂 Did I miss where you addressed where you're moving and/or what the plan is for the dream house?

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Cathrin happy Wednesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@JessicaNicoleDickerson]

you should do a content creator planner!!

[@noemie-doubleaventure]

What a great video. Good job on juggling with being a mom and showing up on KZbin with great content ! It makes me want to have some me time and reflect and plan for next year !

[@isacorde]

Gurl! You do romanticize your life! You are doing great! You are your own type of Amber Fillerup. You inspire me so much and I'm so thankful for that. Thank you for letting us into your life as a new mommy and all the steps and changes. Now your life is about to change a lot and I feel like your new challenge is to go with the flow, trusting and not planning now. Because you now know that everything changes in a blink of an eye. I remember how depressed you were when you got divorced and how hard it was when you had to sell your house, but you managed to grow and make your life truly beautiful again! Don't be hard on yourself, you are doing awesome! Congratulations! You will flourish anywhere you go because that's how you do it 🥰🥰👏👏 keep it up! Xoxo

[@M-Joy]

looking forward to seeing more of your prep for 2024!

[@TheJediCantina]

Cathrin I’m with you on this one! 2024 is in the works already! Let’s go everyone!

[@nikkimunir]

Girl I thought my perpetually cracked screen was bad but yours is next level! 😂 hope that’s just a screen protector. Glad you are doing so well and excited to see what’s next for you!

[@Brittwells_20]

Bigs up to you ❤ and thanks so much for this video and every other video you’ve ever posted that has encouraged and inspired so many. You definitely give hope to us smaller creators ❤ love your hair as well 🎉

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I’d love a video on your yearly earnings this year! Especially with brand sponsorships changing and Adsense revenue!!

[@Katlyn_Duncan]

I love your new goal of getting featured in AD! I cant wait to see you manifest this!! Might be random but an interior designer youtuber that I love (shes hilarious and does some AD reviews) is Caroline Winkler.

[@SunshineStateHome]

Back in 2021 I had my first baby and stopped making/watching KZbin videos on this channel. Today, now with my 2nd baby being 4 months old, I thought I’d get back into the swing of things and log on. I was so excited to see your face again and now have clicked on to see YOU ALSO ARE A MUM NOW! I’m here for this content and excited!

[@AshleyKristineEsseya]

As modern day mamas we unfortunately do not have the support system we need so I highly recommend if you have the budget to outsource help as much as possible. Whether that’s cooking, cleaning, etc

[@BrielleJuliet]

Really loved this!! Getting me inspired, just starting to think about 2024 goals :)

[@jenna5488]

This was a fun video and probably one of my favorites of yours! Loving this type of content…

[@justonekay]

first 60 secs “why does that make me want to cry” literally same. 😢

[@riahardcastle7590]

I've been watching you for five years now and I love seeing your vlog content and how much you've grown and evolved as a person Cathrin! I'm also an entrepreneur and I struggled with finding and keeping my peace for my whole life really. Up until this year when I found peace (and more than I could ever imagine) in prayer, in faith, and in only listening to uplifting music that truly breathes more peace and faith into me. I stopped watching TV, movies, and most content because I found that most of it made me feel unworthy, or get caught in comparison or victimhood. You'll find peace if you keep spending time in nature. Also, Andrew Huberman's recent podcast about journaling and the specific methods you can use to feel better. I've journaled a LOT when I went through periods where I couldn't go to therapy regularly/when I just didn't have one. I hope that helps

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

Cathrin, looking forward to seeing your little bundle of joy in full ???

[@heythere6212]

Hey Cath I'm always inspired by you!

[@NurseJanice]

Thank you got the special deal om Epidemic sound remember your an inspiration!! Your doing amazing!❤

[@goingbacktoourroots]

Love love love your 2024 videos!! I'd love some behind the sense how you make your money with sponsors etc and maybe how you'd do it with 0 following?!?

[@kathrynkilian]

Follow what you enjoy!! YES ❤️🔥

[@garymarsh5972]

Hope you’re all well? Your video has got me thinking about next year. As you are moving I was wondering how your going to split your time between your home and new place? Is there a plan to sell the house when it’s finished?

[@KeeganMignonWindowOfBoldMusic]

Missing you

[@taviailes9478]

Wait I missed the moving part!! Did she share where to next?

[@marielrichter2241]

I’m in the same boat

[@oliviadouble1402]

She didn’t share where. But she did say she is keeping her house and then moving where her man is stationed

[@Marshas_Journey]

Wow your hair looks so pretty 💕

[@CarmenPortillo-vlog]

Katherine you are so good!

[@RachelLee]

Routine is still hard with an 18 month old. Been trying to run my solo creative biz, still working 3 days at another job, and trying to start KZbin - all while “finding time for self care”: I can’t take productivity and self-help videos seriously from anyone that ISNT a parent yet - so enjoying watching your process of still giong through this with, like you said "short bit of time" that you get to work lol

[@signingspiritually]

I'm also planning on diving in more to short form content 😊

[@annaspeaks373]

The 2024 is going to be the best❤

[@mariennecrouse]

Your hair looks gorgeous. Pls, do a tutorial :) Mary

[@ButterflyGoddessMoe]

I’d love to work with you one day with my Tea Company! ✨

[@AndreaOwen17]

How do you edit shorts on your phone? I would love to see the analytics for shorts, I hear from a lot of people that shorts are just pennies

[@josealfonsosilvalatorre1826]

Best wishes for you

[@crystalheavey5913]

Love your videos 🥰🙏🏽🌟

[@jamesmcgurie2771]

the problem with short form content is that it's NOT the future as much as people think it is right now. first of all, good luck making money from shorts lol. I know someone who gets 100 million views on shorts per month and only makes $4,000 on average from those views. That's not sustainable. second, the audience watching your shorts is MUCH different (and much younger) and therefore will not convert for your sponsors as well. third, the views are extremely fleeting and it's so difficult to build a strong community through shorts (for most people). but, good luck.

[@hab3ll]

love the epidemic sound collaboration been waiting all year, just want to ask the name of the theme song for last years vlogmass

[@SlumberandBloom]

Ok sooooooooo Little Man is getting HUGE! Like, how is he growing so fast?! When you were feeding him he just looked so long and all stretched out like a big kid!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

BetterHelp...you could use those as sponsors and it'd go with you everywhere

[@MindfulGrinds]

OMG, moving again. WOWZA! That would be super stressful. Totally. Keep up the lifestyle content!

[@donna-elizabeth]

Great video which highlights the challenges and balancing of work and personal life. I have a 7 year old daughter and I work full time. Life is about juggling our roles and snatching time for ourselves here and there. Learning to maximise small snippets of time becomes key. Loving the 2024 goals. You've inspired me to write mine 😊

[@pokotina]

@catherine just an idea for your interior design goal… renovate/fix army homes… you can help girls home like you to beautify ther homes or new homes for them. I already see a tv show with you ❤❤❤

[@seoulmansupra]

Shouldn't you also reflect on the wins for 2023?

[@alicesophiemakeup]

Great video but you can use trending music on shorts? It’s like the same as using the in built audio selection on insta or am I missing something? That’s what I do with my shorts anyways 😊

[@LilCraftyNook]

I got a claim when I used ES on my KZbin Shorts. 😒

[@alicesophiemakeup]

@@LilCraftyNook ah yes I’ve had that too with epidemic! I personally think using the in built music selection is the best option as there’s no risk of copy right claim

[@sarahbrackenridgeart]

Omg mom, life I'm dying. My son is 6 months old and I feel every moment of this video. 😅

[@Vega_Cristina]

I do remember your chart goals, Iam 38, 2 days ago I have this number in age 😁😁😁

[@Marshas_Journey]

How old is baby boy. It seems like he was just born like a few weeks ago. But he looks like he’s 3 months old. He’s so precious 🥰

[@AndreaOwen17]

Can you talk about how Instagram monetization works?

[@JessicaLaShawn]

OMG❤❤❤❤❤

[@sportybeth]

Wait what?! Do you not earn money from shorts if you use the music in the shorts app? I swear I do

[@sarahbrackenridgeart]

I want that BOY MOM THINGS shirt sooo bad and I can't find it!

[@anasirrrr]

try to get the purpose in your Life, Ask Your Self Why are you Here 2024?

[@Veroicone]

Wait you're moving?! I feel like I missed something lol

[@Zdrowe_Zmiany]

Hey! 2 months epidemic is not working :(

[@WhitneyOsei]

Motherhood will do that to you. It makes it hard for you to swe your future.

[@AndreaOwen17]

You are moving away from your dream lake House?

[@oliviadouble1402]

Is everything okay with her and her sister? I haven’t seen anything about her since the podcast abruptly ended

[@JulieRaeDoherty]

I know- I miss their podcast so much and although they don’t owe anyone an explanation, it still feels weird that it just ended without any warning. I still hope they come back one day. And obviously I hope everything is ok with both of them.

[@LaFarmhouse]

love🤎🎀🤎

[@risingvibes11]

Yay!!🙂❤️✨🏠🔨🐕🍼

[@mparker5447]

What an amazing Rack. My compliments.
