Listen to this when it’s hard to get out of bed // Affirmation Podcast Vlog

Hi Everyone :) welcome back to a very special podcast-vlog series, where I voiceover the internal voice I'm cultivating in my adult life.
Here's what it's all about. In my late twenties, I found myself often paralyzed, anxious, and hesitant about the things I wanted to do- all because I created a very negative and fearful internal voice in my head. Where did it come from? could have been a lot of things. I won't get into it now, but I realized one day (in this vlog: • [cafemaddy podcast] ep... ) that I need to make a very intentional effort to change this voice to a kind, gentle, and encouraging one. Especially the moment I wake up.
So this is a vlog, with me speaking over words of affirmation as I look back on my day. And these words I intentionally speak over my very ordinary and not so ordinary days, I hope they become the voice I eventually, naturally speak over myself, and for the people I love.
After Season 1 of The Cafe Maddy Podcast (www.youtube.com/@CafeMaddy/po...) , for months I thought a lot about what kind of theme or format I'd want to go start again in a new series. And after so many drafts, this feels right, and it feels like what I personally need, and I hope many of you also find it encouraging.
Thanks for always being here :) all feedback is so important for me, so feel free to leave a comment on what you think about the vlog! see you in the next one!

I don't know why, but I started crying. Thank you Maddy; this felt like a very warm and comforting hug 🖤

[@CafeMaddy]

aww thank you. glad you found it comforting :)

[@TinasArtPage]

Me tooo 🥺😭 I NEEDED to hear this SO much today

[@mogatjamaredi.m2321]

I just got into her channel and im crying non stop.. i cant believe theres someone out there who understand a bi of how i feel sometimes

[@floormee]

Obviously a lot of folks need this, but I feel like this was a love letter to yourself. I’m really proud of you, Maddy. You are doing amazing things. And you make a difference. From this corner of Richmond, Virginia, I want you to know you make an impact with your thoughts, words, and talents. 💖

[@Jamjosh]

Maddy can make me cry just the way she says "hey". But the care and love and sentiment in everything she says after just touches my heart so deeply. Needed this.

[@FreshPresh8888]

This. She’s so caring. Her voice soothes me. She was meant to uplift and inspire us with such an angelic voice. ❤

[@theurbanguy03]

Wonderful, positive, and inspiring 😊

[@CafeMaddy]

Thank you so much!

[@kayokolindenberger3754]

You have the perfect yoga instructor/mindfulness coach voice. Very soothing and relaxing. Have a great day! 😍

[@CafeMaddy]

Thank you so much 🙂 you to!!

[@personallyjoua]

Im up at 8am!! Perfect timing. Not everything is going as I planned, but I have made time for a good chunk of my dreams. Thank u for the reminder. #selflove. 😊

[@CafeMaddy]

:) YAY proud of you!!!! have an amazing day

[@Sandra-zu4ff]

Please do another one of these, I am a painter but live with chronic pain in my legs and mental disability. It is hard on me to create each day or compare myself to others even though everyone’s story is different. Would love a version of this video with an emphasis on being gentle to yourself and your creative passions, and that you are good enough at your love no matter what that looks like

[@furbabies3momma]

New Suscriber... Your heart-felt videos touch & inspire many others to do their best! You have a Beautiful Spirit... Gratitude, from all who watch your videos! 🤗

[@Sam_Fu]

This definitely felt like a love letter to yourself or to anyone watching this. Self love is so important. Things won't always go as planned & life will always have it's ups & downs. The most important part is to always get back up & keep going. And being patient with yourself as well. Thank you for sharing this & sharing yourself with the world. Much love Maddy!

[@marsha9914]

I still rewatch this video on days when it's hard to get out of bed :) Thank you Maddy. Hope you create more versions of this video

[@jaesun4418]

Hi Maddy thank you for this. I needed this today the most! People tell me I am strong that was able to fight through but at times I felt like I'm at lost and failed. Keep being you Maddy and I hope to meet you one day! 😊

[@ginnenelarrabee3174]

I just found you but you are so inspiring to me. My goal is to feel about myself how you feel about yourself in this video but I'm really hard on myself and tell myself negative things about myself. My intention is your intention so thank you for being kind to yourself so I have instruction of how to commit to being kind to myself. I appreciate this touchstone. I appreciate you.

[@pretty_moonlightxx]

First! ❤ I really need this 🥹🫶💕

[@CafeMaddy]

[@pretty_moonlightxx]

​@@CafeMaddy hehe ;D

[@squeezedamilo]

Thank you for this soothing video. You have a wonderful light, heartwarming energy 💛🧡💛

[@donnabu]

❤ I love the quote at the end. Such a sincere and kind quote.

[@eringladstone5205]

An absolutely perfect sentiment for Sunday night, heading into another week.

[@fluffyclouds555]

Thank you for this cozy reassuring video. I’m a mother to a young child and I try to intentionally offer her gentle guidance and an emotionally safe refuge although I never got it from my own parents. I’m not great at self compassion and watching this reminds me that everything is going to be okay. ❤

[@VedderGirrl]

This was so sweet and comforting. Maddie you are glowing! Thank you for this video 🫶🏻

[@thymeetclay]

Beautifully said 🩶 Made this day much more meaningful. 🫶 Keep going as you are spreading the light and positivity that this world needs more of. 🥰

[@alyssac6825]

This video helped me get up this morning ❤

[@geee8904]

Absolutely love your podcast-vlogs! I get so excited when I see you have a new one. Loved your older ones as well. So much love for you! Thank you! 💓💫🥰

[@adiecakes]

The calm I needed today. Thank you so much, Maddy 💕

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Watching this, waking up at 2PM. I want to wake up early every day too, but it's difficult because 1. I have a non 24 hour circadian rythm (for my body, a day is 28 to 40 hours) and 2. I love being up through the night! I often go to sleep and wake at really different times every day... but i do try to make the most of the time I'm awake❤

[@joonnnho]

Really loved your podcast series as so many things just resonates well with me! Pretty bummed out that you've ended it but I do hope you will restart it and make it a regular thing again!!

[@rxhhw1]

Hello..I’m a new subscriber to your channel.. I accidentally found you.. I usually don’t leave comments but I just had to tell you that I love your voice, your calmness and your courage to leave a steady job n go after what you’re passionate about! I’m going to recommend your channel to my cousin who went through a similar situation.. Keep up the great work!😀

[@CherryRaptor]

One you are doing so many amazing things. I am truly in awe. Two I needed this so so so much today. Even though I am going to bed, this really helped and now I am hyped for tomorrow. Thank you!

[@MsTaLaiah]

Maddy 😫😫😫 I didn’t realize you made this vid, but I opened KZbin for something like this. Letting go is one of the HARDEST things for me to grasp. And holding on is not fun at all.

[@FlorSunflower]

​@@CafeMaddyWatching this felt like getting a hug I desperately badly needed 😭 These past months, last month in particular, have really been difficult... Broken, pained, abandoned, betrayed, dejected... Can't catch a break... Even getting myself out of bed was agonizing... But, can't thank you enough how your words persuaded to give myself another chance... Will take these with me, will wake up to live another day 🥹 You're a godsend, Maddy 💕hoping you be blessed more and also continue enjoy all the things you do 🥰
