Nice video as always ❤. I hope MR Midwest is recovering well 🙏🏿

1. Declutter 2. Rest 3. Have self-respect and set boundaries in relationships 4. Incorporate typically feminine things into your life (and don't be afraid of what people might say) 5. Identify your fears, triggers and goals

[@alexandrakennedy2000]

Setting boundaries really is important, especially for those of us in any kind of feminine caretaking roles. I’ve learned that boundaries genuinely do help everyone, not just the person setting them. ❤️ You cannot pour from an empty cup, etc.

[@bethany45101]

I didn’t really feel at home in my skin until I turned 30. So if you are still young and working on yourself, don’t stress. It’ll come. My 20s were really my learning period and then 30 came (and now 33) and everything I learned about being a woman and ladylike just clicked. I thank my mom every day for teaching me to be classy and to behave with dignity. I didn’t appreciate it as a younger woman but now, I am soooo glad that I know how to conduct myself in a way that shows respect for myself, my husband and anyone else I encounter.

[@MrsMidwest]

I love this. I agree!! Feeling happier now at 28 than I did ten years ago 🎉

[@MrsCarrieSnyder]

I am 41 and have never felt more beautiful. ☺️

[@TheMagicCrafter]

I've been dressing alternative for years and I am a professional mermaid for work. I love it! But I have also been wanting to try more "normal" looks, since I don't want to feel like a side-show 24/7. Your videos have given me the courage to try some different, more feminine styles. I'm proud to say that I bought and wore a red sweater dress to my man's Christmas work party yesterday. It felt nice to look like a lady rather than a performer for a change. 🖤

[@Outcaaast]

i remember watching you're videos back when I was 18/19, and I learned so much from you. You are one of the OGs. Your advice is invaluable and I resonate with you more compared to these newer "feminine" youtubers, since you share things from a Christian perspective

[@MrsMidwest]

You’re too kind!! It’s great having more people talk about all of this. So happy to have all of us offering different angles on an evergreen topic ❤❤❤

[@tanyah5467]

I'm a new subscriber and have been really enjoying your content. I'm a married Muslim woman in my late 30s with 3 kids and a career. Life is HARD, and I've been feeling really rotten about my identity as a woman, and my appearance. Your approach to femininity is so refreshing and has made me reassess the way I interact with my kids, my husband, my relatives. Thank you for sharing your insights on youtube. ❤

[@katiecook4882]

I’m a newlywed wife of two years, new mom, and homemaker and my glow up started right after I had my daughter (4 months ago). Now, four months later, I’m thriving as never before, and my femininity journey has become a fun and fruitful experience ever since. Caitlin, I’ve been learning from and inspired by your content for several years, even before I was good at any of this and everything seemed so foreign and overwhelming (or even inaccessible). I think of you as one of my best role models for femininity, along with my beloved grandmother. I’ve never commented on any videos before, but I want to share that I was recently told by a longtime friend of mine that I am the feminine role model in her life. It was one of the biggest compliments I ever could have received and I’m truly grateful to be able to tell you that I learned so much from you! My friend and I are both reflecting and collaborating on ways to raise our daughters in their femininity. My husband is in the Army on a nine month deployment and we will soon be together again as a family. ❤

[@maike4833]

This video comes at just the right time for me! I recently gained 20 pounds out of nowhere (no diet change, no difference in exercise or sleep) after working super hard to lose 80 pounds in the last two years. I'm still at an okay weight but I feel extremely uncomfortable and can barely look at myself in the mirror. I hope to lose weight again but I'm sure implementing some of your tips can help my mental state! I started a hair care routine last week which was a blessing. I do daily bible readings and praying has helped a ton. But having a Christian sister share tips is really the cherry on top. Love your advice!

[@evelyne2891]

Please go see a doctor!! It's not normal to gain so much weight without having changed your diet ! Rather be safe than sorry 😘

[@maike4833]

@@evelyne2891 thank you so much for looking out, I already have an appointment next week! I always gained weight quite easily (low metabolism in my family) but I agree that it's a bit much. Your comment is very sweet, thank you ☺️

[@wolfsmaid6815]

@@maike4833 a few years back I gained around 30lbs seemingly out of thin air over the course of a year. I had only made one small diet change which was using regular pasta instead of wholegrain pasta (so I ate just a little more every time because the regular pasta is not as filing and not as rich in fibers) and that small change was enough to tip the scale for me. So it might just be a tiny thing, but even 50kcal-100kcal extra each day can make you gain weight consistently. Anyway, best of luck to you, you can do this! :)

[@serenitysbubble2384]

​@@maike4833you poor thing I hope it gets resolved quickly.

[@maike4833]

@@wolfsmaid6815 thanks for sharing your experience, I will review my food and cooking in general (I note down my meals) and see if I can notice anything similar :)

[@belleboutiquebylynbella]

Yes, I was taught in my family that you don't need rests, you work 9-5 Monday thru Friday then clean your house all weekend without rests. I quickly hit burnout. It just isn't me. Finally, my current husband treats me as the "princess" I am. My femininity has never been stronger.

[@thanos4570]

How do you treat him ?

[@justinecurtis1753]

Took the social media apps off my phone and omg I feel so light! Such a good declutter :)

[@maddinick1746]

On the topic of self respect and rest, my mom always uses the phrase “put the oxygen mask on yourself first before helping the person beside you.” Always a good reminder when trying to do everything for everyone else at the expense of my own wellness

[@nellie19891]

This was an incredible video. Came here thinking it was going to be another one of those "be feminine by getting a new purse and makeup" video but it was about the essence which means that you're changing yourself from inside out not outside in ❤️

[@TheNinjaInConverse]

My online cousin is helping me better myself! Getting rid of Instagram and Facebook made so much of a difference for me!

[@themichelleyaa550]

You absolutely killed it with this video!! So many nuggets of wisdom that have deeply resonated with me. Thank you, thank you for creating this. Honestly this is one of the most in depth and thorough videos on what I (emphasis on I !!) believe is true femininity. Thank you girlie 💕

[@mary-elizabetharndt]

My mom brought me up to be very ladylike and feminine, but your channel has encouraged me so much to do it even more so and to make upgrading my ladylike behavior and style a long-term side hobby! My new sister-in-law said to me recently that she noticed a glow up in the past couple of years, and that was the best compliment! Again, I always tried to dress nicely and pretty, but that was so encouraging! 🥹❤️

[@MrsMidwest]

What a sweet sister in law !!! It’s so fun when people celebrate our growth. And thank you for crediting my channel in your journey 😭😭😭 that is beyond complimentary. ❤

[@mary-elizabetharndt]

@@MrsMidwest she is so sweet!! And I actually have 13 brothers and am the only girl, so my mom’s advice was all the more appreciated!! 😂 And we very much appreciate finally having another girl in the family with my new sister-in-law! 😅

[@doochow9962]

I do not mean this badly at all just want to give an opinion as a friend would. You are literally always gorgeous and have great makeup looks. I think your current brow look is a little harsh on you. Still look wonderful I just think if you go a little lighter/softer it may look more flattering. If you love them though that's fine too!

[@zeenkosis]

I have to agree she still looks lovely though

[@sarasampaio9053]

Oh I adore this video and I adore you. I have been feeling frumpy and WAY over stressed. I’m postpartum and was working from home with my twin sons. Absolutely stretched to my limits. Haven’t lost the baby weight. Just feeling emotionally and physically BLAH. I quit my job. And now I’m going through my wardrobe and am nesting and pouring ALL OF MY NURTURING ENERGY into myself, my husband, and my two beautiful sons. This step by step 101 is giving me a giant push to keep going!! Thank you Caitlyn! ❤❤

I'd love to see you talk about creating a good enviroment for true supporting friendships and all. I feel like I always do so much for people in the hopes of finding good friends to realize after some time they were not really there for me when I needed them. Nowadays some parents are having the same or even worse emotional problems than us and that sometimes make us have no one to hold onto. That's why I'm so thankful for your insights about a woman's hardships in our times. 💟💟

I rebelled against that so hard because it didn't fit me. Now I'm also almost 30 and I am loving rediscovering myself and my own version of femininity.

I am really interested in if you would make a video and talk about that really bad year you had before you were allowed to rest as a stay at home wife! It sounds like some tragic things happened and that grieving experience would be really relatable for me.
