If you ever feel like your videos don't make any difference Cynthia I just want you to know that they made a difference for me. When you talk about how the world encourages masculinity and modernity in women and shuns femininity and tradition I know exactly what you mean. It took me a lot of deconstructing to reconcile and accept femininity as something equal to masculinity and I would've never come to that realisation without you and others in this space

equal as in "as worthy as"*

[@CynthiaL]

Awh i feel so honored to be a part of your journey!! Posting and connecting with others on here has also helped me so much too❤️

[@igelkott3522]

@@CynthiaL I would imagine that it could sometimes feel like it doesn't make a difference especially when you receive backlash and rude comments so I just wanted to tell you that and encourage you to keep going. In turn I'm spreading your ideas and thoughts with my friends and loved ones so even if you don't see it know that everything you say and do has a ripple effect. I don't know if it was in this video or another one but I believe you mentioned something about how we are often told that we have the choice to stay home but in reality society is structured in such a way that most women cannot make that choice - or if they do, it comes at a very high cost. In 2012 they did a poll in my country Sweden that showed that 40-53% of women wanted to stay home but those numbers are not reflected in the number of women who actually do stay home (only 2%) so clearly it is not a choice. I believe you are speaking for a growing majority of women and that there is a paradigm shift happening in the west.

I see... The wall

[@MelbourneMoneyMum]

Women don’t realise that a big part of being in a successful relationship is knowing when to SHUT UP! My husband was doing a task after he had just gotten back from work. He was agitated and being a bit difficult. At first I was upset, but then I remembered that he loves me and if he could control his emotions he would. He did the task and then I gave him food and he was back to his usual good natured self and apologised. He was just tired and hungry, so he couldn’t act with grace. So I took it upon myself to give him grace. We could have gotten into an argument, but by giving him grace we avoided unnecessary confrontation.

[@thymeandtenderness]

Another amazing video!!!!! Yes. Traditional Wives are a very diverse group of women, but we all still have core values in common!

[@CynthiaL]

Exactly! I love how we can all come together

[@BrunoFreitasdePaivaBen-H-gl6ds]

"traditional" when convenient and modern when convenient Here in Brazil it's a phenomenon

[@amandazplace5663]

I think the most important thing about being a traditional woman is that she values home. Home, and ALL that that includes, is the center of her life. Some may focus on homeschooling. Some may focus on gardening. Some may focus on cooking from scratch. Some may focus on sewing or decorating. Some may focus on volunteering to strengthening the community they live in, some may focus on "slow living", minimalism, or fitness. Whatever the focus, it is with the home being the focal point. ♥️🇨🇦

[@fruitandveggies24]

Love this video, thanks for posting. I have a lot of trouble fitting in with other traditional women because I’m pagan and part of the goth subculture (those communities don’t accept me either lol). I love how you breakdown the basics of traditionalism here and it doesn’t mean being exclusionary or judgmental.

[@Heatherrenee424]

Hey there! I sort of relate to what you are saying. I am not religious by any means. While i am extremely traditional in my marriage and ideals of life but i am a professional Medium ( work for myself when i want to) and we celebrate the wheel of the year. I totally understand feeling a bit out of place in this “traditional wife” subculture. My husband and i are both fans of traditional lifestyle and dress very traditional but our church is walks in nature and talks with our ancestors. You’re not alone sweet pea!

[@eternitysafro1083]

Hi, I am a Christian and there are a subset of goth/alternative people who are atheists/believe in non Abrahamic religions & are conservative/traditional. There is also the traditional spiritual communities like hippies & families who live in tropical areas, and are vegan & stuff. I have seen goth people who are Christian as well, so I know more of that side. But, there is maybe a community you can find online and start there?

[@MrBurntfinger]

I'm not your target audience, I'm a 76 year old man but, as with old people generally, I'd like to make a few comments. What you and your husband are doing is vitally important if we are to have a society worth living in. Your words and presentation are a joy to watch and hear, but what impressed me the most was when your baby was on your lap and looked up at you. There was no fear in that baby's eyes. Watch the kids of the people you know and you'll quickly figure out who's living right. Look at their eyes when they look at their parents. Now if you have any boys in that wad of kids, there will come a time when they're about 7 or 8 when you'll wonder where your little baby went. He'll come in looking like he's been rode hard and put up wet. Dirty beyond belief, ragged, nasty smelling, etc. Well, when he goes to sleep, bend down and sniff behind his ear. There'll be just a bit of that new baby smell there. That will be the last place that loses it. Well, it took me an hour to cut this down to this length so I suppose I should save some of my accumulated wisdom for someone else. I'll be praying for your family and the other young families doing what you are. Keep up the good work.

I love your new hair and I love being a traditional woman! Thank you for always speaking about these topics. We appreciate you! God bless!

[@Vampire-Spit]

I really appreciate that you make videos like this, it’s so hard to find someone supporting and sharing how to live a more traditional lifestyle!!

[@CynthiaL]

Thank you for appreciating it and commenting! ❤️ I feel the same way. I think it’s important to encourage each other and I hope more women start sharing this lifestyle online

[@jolynepellerin2776]

Thank you for giving me the words my heart has been trying to speak! It’s so beautiful to see a community of women come together too prove we are still here 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@karek4635]

I've been a traditional homemaker and mother for 16 years. I am so happy in this role, as is my husband. Our kids are old enough to look around and see their fortune now. They see they didn't have to shuffle around to daycare, but instead were nurtured at home.

[@chanteldandeneau42]

As a Canadian (Manitoba and yes, cost of living here is INSANE too) who is trying to conceive our first child, we've been trying to figure out if a stay at home situation would work for us as i'm currently a property insurance specialist and my hours are long and i don't get home until after 6:15 every day. I work every other weekend on top of my monday - friday, and my main office is in a town 40 minutes from the town we actually live in (we're mile and a half out of town on 5 acres). Thank you for making content like this even if others disagree. I am not a Christian per say, so i can confirm that even if someone doesn't have those exact values, the traditional lifestyle can definitely still be attractive and something to work towards. These videos, especially knowing you're a fellow Canadian, has allowed me to think about different ways to make this lifestyle a reality in the future. It definitely isn't something we will jump into overnight, and truthfully we likely won't at all if i don't get pregnant, but your encouragement and positivity around the subject is amazing

[@angelaa.7352]

Have not seen your videos for awhile but I use to watch you prior to having children. I am so delighted to see you now have a sweet little family! I find you so much more relatable and informative now as well. I’m obviously a little late to the party but congrats on the sweet little new additions ❤

[@CynthiaL]

Thanks so much! ❤️Ok, this is great to know lol! Because I (personally) feel like I have more to offer now, having more experience and being a mom

[@TheAudMom]

You hit the nail on the head, and great point that we traditional wives are not all the same in aesthetic, but share core values. Great explanation! Your kids are wonderful, don’t apologize. 🥰 They make all of us mama bears smile!

[@Lady_Le_Fae]

I think trad women typically prioritize family and have a clear division of labor with her man. Women typically handling the nesting/ home making/ nurturing aspect while the man typically providing resources like income, food, home, and also physical protection.

[@lindaleclair8938]

Thank you for your videos! So sweet to see your baby's face light up when she sees you.

[@gemsandpearlswithlove]

I absolutely LOVE this video Cynthia!! Firstly your baby is adorable she clearly has something she wants to share on this topic as well 😂 2nd one of the things I truly love about the tradwife community is that although many of our core beliefs and values are the same we are still so unique and how we approach things and at least for the most part we embrace and celebrate each other’s uniqueness. No need for comparison and competition, MOST of us uplift one another and celebrate our differences in a beautiful feminine way while focusing more on what unites us! Thanks for another excellent video!💕🎀

[@tatyanaangelitelove6076]

What constitutes traditional women as true feminity for me, isn't so much about baking, homesteading, being married with three kids and a pet, frilly dresses, staying home, homeschooling, or even Christianity...its being true to our dna dynamic and a community of women helping women to live naturally. Its sad that being feminine and embracing that, is a trend, when it was a way of life and women supporting other women was the normative. I have been anti feminist even while behaving in the ways as you so accurately stated that society run on feminism accepts. I have noticed that this feministic society does not support women and women do not support one another, the spirit of competition is absurd. It hurts women and makes toxicity for the children coming up. I never knew how much i wanted to be a trad wife and woman until i surrendered all of my toxic ways to Yeshua/Jesus. So yes the bible , that old good book had a better view of feminine unity than loud mouth society who encourages women ripping theirselves apart with competition and sexuality as their main values...seems Jezebel now that i think of it. Anyways, thanks to anyone reading my rant but i just want to compliment you on coming to uplift women and for every woman showing true feminine power through traditional womanhood. Be blessed and may you live in abundance of joy.😊😊😊

[@HabitsofaHomemaker]

I enjoyed listening to your video sis! The babies just add that extra special sauce to the equation!🥰 Please never apologize for their precious sounds in the background. 🥰💕🌻

[@ThePlatformSA-jq3lr]

When I saw your baby pop up on the side, my heart literally smiled🥰 It really is what being a traditional/stay-at-home mom is- your kids/family needs just popping up! I love it✨

[@CynthiaL]

Thanks girl! ❤️ definitely, my babies are always with me and I love it!

[@TrailsOfAbundance]

You did a phenomenal job listing off the core values of traditional womanhood! The values are what’s important more than the aesthetic and subsections, so THANK YOU! Also, you’ve inspired me to start 2024 off strong with my KZbin videos :)

[@CynthiaL]

YES! I’m so excited for your videos!! 💕

[@Heatherrenee424]

Cynthia, you are so beautiful. I just adore you. I started watching you a few years ago and i have been constantly inspired by your soft energy. Thank you so much for speaking out for us traditional ladies. Blessings to you and your precious family.

[@MariaM-fd3ye]

Some of us wouldn't call ourselves "stay at home moms," and instead be called "homemakers," or "housewives." Traditional women/wives don't always have kids at home, or our kids are grown 🙂

[@CynthiaL]

Absolutely! Sorry if I wasn’t as clear on that😅. I do have older videos talking about these terms. I was just trying to get through as many points as I could in the limited time I had due to my kids playing lol

[@fruitandveggies24]

And some of us wanted them dearly and couldn’t. Thanks for mentioning that ❤

[@kqwpqqesy9185]

Yeah, I'm a young 19 year old woman, i don't have husband and kids, but I'm so love my home and homemaking!

[@whitneyirvin2498]

Thanks for the videos Cynthia! It’s crazy to see how your life has transformed over the years 😊 Would you be interested in future content on like the temptations to fall into comparison and discontentment, and overcoming them? Especially as women.

[@alexandrapalma5623]

Cynthia, could you please talk about making friends as a homemaker and loneliness? I have been feeling like this lately, also because I dont have any friends who are homemakers as well! And you are such a inspiration, your videos motivate me a lot!🥰☺☺

[@heyiamsarahb6774]

Same here. I am a very lonely housewife and wish to meet other women 😊

[@alexandrapalma5623]

@@heyiamsarahb6774 if we lived nearby we could be friends😊😊

[@untimateds]

Haven't been following your channel for few years... quite surprised with the growth in your family, and the consistency of your philosophy. However this time those beliefs have bear fruits and credibility for other people to learn from in serious manner. Salute to you.

[@xxpadmoondaze1282]

Cynthia you've been looking even more ultra striking lately! I can't put my finger on the change. Maybe your natural hair color brings out your features?

[@newjourney010]

Cynthia, For those that are single late bloomers and have the hope of becoming a homemaker and sahm but are in our 30s+, what do we do with ourselves if we personally thought our God given calling and purpose was to have a family and be a help mate to our Christian husband but it still hasn’t happened? Do I just continue to do inner healing, serve God and focus on my career? I wasn’t trying to strive for a “girl boss” life or a big career but I do have to work to survive and now I’m here. Having a career is something I ended up in but realizing it’s something I’ll have to give up for a greater purpose. But I guess is also a blessing in disguise because I’ll have something to fall back on if something happens to my future husband.

[@angelmd43]

I'm also a traditional wife for a lot of years now but I am also a Christ follower and that is a given when you obey Christ. Glad to see you are a traditional wife too! May God help you to follow Christ if you are not. I don't know because I haven't watched other videos from you yet. Christ says, Christ is the head of the man and the man is the head of the woman. God bless you and your family!

[@Himmiefan]

I think you've misunderstood the Bible. Head is not meant as hierarchical, but as serving and loving. Remember, Christ did not say anything about the man being the boss, and everything has to go back to a teaching of Christ. If it doesn't go back to Christ, then it's just something that was for that point in time.

[@annipounds3031]

This is fun. I feel like I'm sitting on the floor, drinking coffee and juggling babies with you. :)

[@briannasienagoyer3391]

Can I be traditional in a woman/woman relationship ?

[@kalir7254]

I recently became a stay at home housewife and my daughter who is a disabled veteran is a full time at home and recently took my grandbabies out of traditional school and started homeschooling. We have never felt better

[@andreacannon1263]

Congratulations for u both, I don't have children but my mom was a great housewife and she deeply dedicated her life to me when I needed the most and now I'm a good wife thanks to her example. Wishing u and ur family all the best❤

[@wisewomanhealing]

I also follow, @unimportanthomemaker and her vib is Ma Ingalls. I have seen plenty of 1950's tradwives, and they are great, but hers is the first 1800's prairie type of channel and it is so fun.

[@CynthiaL]

Thanks for the recommendation 🩷 I’ll search her 😊
