If you're new here, welcome! I'm Madi, I'm passionate about helping women live life that's truly life, not just life as everyone says it should be. I love creating videos about minimalism and slow living and upload them often enough. 💫
In my videos you will see my minimalist home, my capsule wardrobe, decluttering, inspiration for slow living with kids, intentional living, minimalist finances, things I no longer buy, things I no longer own, things I buy more of as a minimalist, and just overall my passion and inspiration for simple living!

Madi- I’m so thankful you took the plunge and started this channel. You are changing LIVES and you changed mine more than you know. Thank you endlessly. You’re authentic, sincere, honest, passionate and so appreciated ❤
😭lindsey thank you! I swear the women that find this channel are THE most incredible, authentic, passionate women too! it's so beautiful to be a part of.
Facts
This is a great video ❤ I started making jewellery and sell it on Etsy and I was able to quit my job and then my husband was able to quit his job too. We now have 2 kids and neither of us has had a traditional job for 6 years. The internet has so much possibility ❤
wowwwww this is incredibly inspiring to me! goes to show that just because one thing didn't "work" for me, doesn't make it wrong for someone else- I want this for so many families. it's so freeing. way to go you guys! so inspired by you. we live in such a time of incredible possibility.
Congratulations! 🫶🏽 Thats amazing!
That is so amazing! I’m 37 weeks pregnant and have also started learning to make jewelry silversmithing. I pray to have success in it as you have. Congratulations!!
@Laurenbredenkamp what is your Etsy page? 😊
Ahh I needed this video. I was at my ultrasound appt for my third kid this morning and when the ultrasound tech asked what I did for a living I said I used to be a dental hygienist but now I’m a stay at home mom. I was telling her that I miss my career and I lost a lot of self worth deciding to stay home but I simply cannot leave my kids to be taken care of by someone else. It’s just not something I can wrap my brain around. I struggle everyday with self worth because of the society we’re in. Thank you!
Creo que haces lo correcto ❤
I think what I loved most about this video is when you basically talked about our talents are already inside of us. It's just a matter of being still enough to discover what is already there, what we are already good at or passionate about. I feel like we frustrate or force so many things instead of just being still and observing ourselves. Love your videos ❤ thank you.
All we need to do is unearth them ❤️
What you said about ~"as women, we don't have to control it all" really resonates with me. I started my channel 2 years ago and was monetized last year. But I sat on the idea for multiple years, because I didn't think I could "do it all" from the start. Your advice to just get started is exactly what I would say. You learn as you grow, and you only grow when you start.
Wonderful video, as always, Madi! Thank you for your encouraging voice!! 🙏 ❤
Priska thank you for sharing your thoughts, I'm so so grateful women like you find my videos! it's literally such a dream come true for me.
The power of a mom who wanted nothing more than being a good mom! I feel that, dear Madi!
I loved hearing your story on your podcast channel as well!
Thanks for keeping us inspired and for giving us that hope to don't give up!
love that you're enjoying the podcast! I'm enjoying it too! thank you so much for the love! xoxo
I recently started my channel. I had the words JUST START on my chalkboard for a long time before I did it. lol I have to say though, that you were definitely one of the influences for me finally do it!
Bless you.
🙏
my heart! YESSSSS. way to go girl!
Giiiirl I subscribed before you hit 1000 subscribers! I remember your community post when you hit 1000, you said something about 1000 like-minded individuals. I love that you included the music from your first house tour! I have watched that video literally hundreds of times. It always gives me the motivation to go deeper in my space. It's been fun following your journey and I'm so glad you've grown your channel!
Nothing better than authentic, egoless youtubers like yourself Madi. Thank you for being real and guiding others to follow their hearts and creativity! Your channel deserves all the success, that will continue to come your way! :)
Wow this is so sweet 🥹 thank you!
Thank you for this! I have been feeling like I need/want a side project to direct my energy and creativity to. But honestly, I don't like social media, don't really like screens, moved to the country for privacy and peace. Plus, we're in a good place financially so I don't necessarily have to do anything. But I"m an ambitious and creative person, and my kiddos are all going to be in school next year. So now what? I've toyed with the idea of doing farm tours on our land, or opening up my land for field trips and such. Definitely need to take a few days to daydream. :)
MORE OF THIS CONTENT PLEASE!!! loving your recent videos so much and feeling so inspired. You encouraged me to start my own CZcams.
Thank you for this!! ❤️ I’ve been wanting to start a channel since Middle school and now that I’ve graduated college and I am currently a homemaker I still have not started one. Thank you once again for this encouragement.
Thank you so much for posting this!! This is exactly how I felt before I started my channel, and a year later I STILL FEEL THIS WAY and I've been putting off creating more videos because I constantly doubt myself, and yet I still feel called to do it. I need to just TRY. You've inspired me to film something this weekend.
i’ve been considering an art business idea, but the fear of my passion becoming a controlling factor of my life stops me. this video helped loose the grip of that fear. thanks sis
YES. omg this. wow.
I love this video, from getting your play button to exactly what I needed to hear about just getting started and not worrying about every little detail. Chefs kiss 😉
Such wisdom! Thank you!
I'm a new subscriber and this definitely took me to church a little and was something I needed to hear. I've recently pivoted from teaching and have been slowly shedding that identity and trying to figure out how to transition into slower living and replacing my income. Thank you for this and for following the path God has for you. 🙏🏽
I needed this today!! Great video
Your video is such an answer to my prayers, in several different ways. Thank you so much for all your beautiful wisdom and sweet reminders 💗
Thank you Madisunshine! Mid-video I forgot this was an alternative income message. Loved it!
I needed this message today! Thank you for sharing ❤
❤️❤️
“We have to be brave enough to open and let life come through us” 🔥
👍🏻
This was beautiful thank u for this. ❤❤❤ Have a blessed day.
thank you love
I needed to hear this so much. I write and just released my first children’s book in March. I feel this blog within me, and think I need to start exploring this direction. ❤Thank you for your openness. 🙏
Dear Madison.
I found your channel in the early days, and you have been such an inspiration to me. I would watch your videos to escape from my reality, into my dream life. And I started to think how this could become my reality, too.
I am now into a good, sustainable HTAM program, which I never thought was something I could do (just all perfect people), and I can see how my future is changing from a trapped, anxious, stressful life - to a life I'm designing myself, doing the things I'm passionate about.
Thank you for this channel, sharing honestly about life, values and what's possible when you break down limiting beliefs
I’m so thankful that you started your channel Madi! I have loved watching and learning from you. ❤
thank you emily! your support is so so sweet and always touches me!
2nd comment: the BEST part of my 9-5 (which is really 7pm-7:30am) is that I NEVER have to think about work, at home. I punch out & leave it behind. That’s a big fear of mine about work from home- that I’ll never be able to stop or get away from it etc. I have to say though… there is a beauty to my profession. I’m a mother-baby nurse in a hospital. It’s lovely most of the time. 😊
As someone who was entrepreneur for many years, I now love having a “normal job” working for an aid organisation and having much better life rhythms. I’m currently writing and creating as a hobby!
yes! this is something that our family is navigating. as children get older and everything is happening from home it can be a lot to not have that space away from work! definitely a big learning curve if you've had others, other work, school, etc that have dictated your life schedule!!
Great video. Just like any other video you make. You are my source of inspiration to want to live a calmer life myself, a richer life.❤
Madisun, your videos are a gift! You are a blessing ❤ thank you for sharing 😊
So sweet 🥹 thank you
ALL OF THIS. Oh my goodness, if ever I needed to see a video THIS was it. I am so inspired by this and now feel like I CAN do the things. I used to post on youtube a few years ago and stopped because, life, but now I NEED another way for myself to make money. I am a prof photographer but I am just over it, and I am passionate about homemaking and minimalism and its time I stopped ignoring that or using excuses like I am too old or have nothing to say thats not already been said. THANK YOU for this. You are one of my favorite channels and I AM SO Thankful you posted this. Thank you for igniting a flame in me I thought was gone.
Wow!!! ‘’ Someone else is already doing this’’ that’s the worst excuse ever!! As if there can only be one hairdresser in a town or one cafe 🙄🙄 we don’t need the whole cake, just a slice of it, there is enough to go around… ❤❤❤ loved the video
This is beautiful… thank you for being able to express your thoughts so well that it helps us clearly think through our own thoughts. 💜 It’s a priceless gift when your mind feels so loud and messy. I love all your videos.
This is so sweet thank you 🥹
Seeing you and how you blossomed over the years really inspired me in making videos on CZcams and don’t take it all so serious ❤️ thank you!
Love this 😘
Amazing video Madi. Super inspirational, appreciate you and your content. You’re doing it boo thang! 😘❤️❤️
A perfect message for me to hear. I’ll be re listening ❤
❤️❤️
You just touched me so deep with your words. Thank you that you have said this❤
Thank you!
I loved this video, Madi. I recently started my own CZcams channel, and this was so encouraging for me, and just what I needed to hear. Thank you again for sharing another great video!!
You got this Caitlin! ❤️
Thank you very much for this video! It is the inspiration I needed. It's not a different content from your other videos. The tips you give here help us to have a slower life. 🙏✨♥
so glad it resonated ❤️
Such a powerful video. Thank you Maddi! I’ve just left my 9 to 5 to become a writer.
Just what I needed to hear. I’ve just gotten started on an idea that’s been on my mind for a while. This has given me more confidence to keep pursuing it despite the self doubt!
this makes my heart sing.
love this! thanks for sharing
So glad it resonated ❤️
I've been tossing around the idea of starting a YT channel for a few years. Decided to do it this year but kept putting it off. This video seales the deal and I posted my first video! Thanks for being an approachable, accessible influencer. ❤
You are a true blessing. Again, such a good video. One of the best books I have ever read was (that one with the red cover) from John Mark Comer you recommended in one of your videos. So awesome. Thanks Maddy
Thank you so much for this channel. Since finding it, I am learning to slow down and stop rushing needlessly all the time. I'm starting to let my kids slow down and just be more often. My often chaotic home with four kids 5 and under is starting to feel more joyful and peaceful. I have a long way to go but I am becoming softer, more gentle. You have been a key component in all of this change. You've encouraged me and given me resources to help me. Thank you. God bless you
❤️ this makes me so happy. Thank you
Way to go, Mama! I had 4 in 3.5 years with twins and for a long time it was survival mode but I did what I could to find those moments to slow down…apples slices & stories with mommy, everyone having a nap or quiet time same time, snack time over books after naps…they’re now all 11 and under and it’s getting easier and my kiddos are learning that they too can choose to live simply, slow down and savor life. Bless you! 🩷
You have such a way with words!
Dude you are INSPIRING. Thank you for leading by example ❤ touching my best friends group chat with this video
So glad this resonates 😘
Love growing deeper together xo ❤
This video resonated with me more than you know. I know I'm avoiding the thing I feel called to. I would love to create content. I need to get rid of my limiting beliefs and take out my internal trash! I really felt the Spirit convicting me listening to this video so much so that I watched it twice! Thank you for making it and inspiring me.
Such a great message ❤😊 I have a YT channel also and have been doing it for 6 years. Growth has been slow, but I'm having so much fun. Hope to have it replace my 9-5 so I can stay home and spend time with my son!
Wow, we have a lot in common! I've felt the nag to start a channel, too. I've posted some videos. I am also a photographer shooting on the weekends. I also have a side hustle crocheting little stuffies for kids. I was also a competitive athlete from a young age. I had 2 jobs, a serious boyfriend and played AAA hockey in highschool...Crazy.
This feels like it was made right on time for me. I started my CZcams channel a couple of months ago and sometimes it feels like I’m speaking to myself 😅 but your words (ever wise!) are exactly what I needed to hear in a self-doubting time. Thank you.
You got this ❤️
This was such a great video! I just barely started my CZcams channel and all the things you said about how we hold ourselves back resonated with me. Like I’m trying to figure it out before it’s even had a chance to “bake”. I have to just let go and post videos and let it evolve over time and trust that I will get better at it and eventually my videos will speak to the people it’s supposed to. It definitely feels like a calling! Thank you for being real and I would love to see more content like this about your process, maybe how you edit, how you film, do you scripts stuff like that would be awesome to see❤
So sweet. Thank you ❤️
@@MadisunGray Also, excited for you with the next baby, being a mama is the best!
Look at Jenna Phipps, she was already an amazingly creative and talented crafter and CZcamsr. Recently she bought a house is renovating it and, just like before, is sharing the journey of what she’s creating and her channel has absolutely exploded.
Thank you so much for this!! God has speaking to me about content creating for several years now, but I have had horrible imposter syndrome. I've been progressively coming out of that, and am really trying to pursue starting a CZcams channel. So The timing of your videos are impeccable ❤️ Thank you so much for all that you share, it has impacted my life so much!
This video was beautiful! Im a stay at home mom and i started making resin pieces and lotions and lip balms. I sell them just by sharing with fmsily and friends and then they tell others about it. :) its fun!
Your story is soo similar to mine! Oh my gosh. And I just finally launched my CZcams channel a few weeks ago. So I’m a newbie, but I had been creating free content on IG for years and sharing my every day slow life and I said forget this. I’m moving over to CZcams lol :) I’m excited to be here and hear stories like yours! I have much hope!
I love your thoughts about limiting beliefs. It’s so hard to silence the noise and do what you truly want. I recently quit my job to stay at home with my kids. Building my business at home at my own pace. I love it.
YES!
I so enjoy your videos ❤ I have a fb business page and I’m live regularly crafting with a sweet following. But I too have a desire to start a CZcams, even have hours and hours of room makeover footage, simplifying. I’m 60, a young 60, but for some reason I still have doubts because of my age. I bought the book you recommended that prompted you to start…need to find that, read it 🤪
Ahh I needed to hear this. I love all things travel and desperately want to do more, especially with my kids before they graduate and start their own adult lives. I’m a sahm and I want to still stay available for my family so time freedom is a must….. I want to become a travel agent but I am so scared to take the leap of putting myself out there.
Thinking about doing a channel too. I have one, but it just has stuff I wanted to keep on it, so not a real channel lol. For some reason like 50 people have subbed to it anyway, no idea why, but I’m thinking about adding actual content. Just have to learn how to edit 😅. I have a good career, but I am SICK OF IT. I’ve been a RN for 24 years and I’m tired of it. Worn out and tired of so much responsibility. I now want to do something fun and creative and be able to work from anywhere so I can travel.
Go for it!
Madisun, Thank you! ❤️
❤️❤️
Gosh, I’m only a minute into your video and had to pause. I’m 61 now but for the last 5 years or so I’ve had the same feeling, that I should start a channel. Well, I did start one about a year ago but more or less stopped making videos because the project I started the channel for had to be on hold. We’re back to the project but I lost my momentum for content creation.
Recently, I’ve felt the desire to make some more videos but I’m struggling with how I truly want the channel go. Some soul searching should help ☺️.
Congratulations on your success!! You’re an inspiration for so many. Much love 💕
You got this ❤️
I have wanted to make a CZcams channel FOR SO LONG. During college, career, and now as a SAHM. Its never been lost in my mind. Constantly thinking about it for years. And I think I'm finally gonna try!
10000% SUPPORTING YOU
Me too! Just gave you a subscribe!
Me too!
Thank you!!! @@danikalynn8302
Thank you! I realize that I overthink and feel like I need to have everything figured out before I start and that I talk myself out of starting, exactly like the examples you gave. I want to reconnect to my feminine energy. I definitely am overdosed on masculine energy. :( Thank you for all your videos. You are a relaxing inspiration.
❤️❤️
I've been putting out CZcams videos for over 5 years and have barley grown its a labour of love truly. Thats so inspiring you hit 100k in 2 years! Praying I'll get there one day!
My other question is how do you set up your day to film with the kids ?
not me waiting with baited breath for you to create an offering for entrepreneurs though😂 appreciate your voice Madi
I am new here. The landscape is so beautiful, where does Madison live?
Thank you so much for these words! I really needed to hear this today and be reminded that the Most High God gave me this idea for a reason, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste❤
love this ❤️❤️
Sooo true ❤
❤️
I joke with my nurse friends that I want to be a housewife when I grow up. (I’m 40 with 2 kids). I live vicariously through this channel. But I really am blessed that my dad retired to start watching all his grandkids 11 years ago. Sort of sad that we have to wait til retirement to enjoy childhood again though isn’t it. He has one more year left until my little guy is in kindergarten. I wonder what he’ll do then. Now I’m extra sad… dang it.
Can you share this woman’s garden business whenever she is ready?! I am interested!
Definitely would love to share some other small businesses ❤️
❤
I love what you say but I really enjoy my job, not a « stay-at-home-mom » at all, I have to be productive and to be around adults, I don’t believe in God or anything. I love my kids my I hated being pregnant (always sick). But I really enjoy what you say and how you live! I think we have to find our own happiness! Have a great day!
Well that was like you made it just for me
8:00
My kids are young adults, I’ve always worked the 9-5. I want to be home
3:34 would you say that is similar to giving birth to a baby? If all is healthy then we don't need medical intervention and inductions. We can just trust our bodies and let it do it's natural thing 😊
I am not creative...I feel lost
You got this ❤️
Wow you made it to 100k so fast and deserve it. You are not too old at all to start a CZcams channel. . .I feel so many are your age because the whole mom of young kids thing inspires people. If you are over 40 it is much harder. There are some people in their 60s with big channels though too! I am like you who has done so many side hustles. I sold two things on the side over a decade ago, plus had my own photography business, plus I sell quilts, plus I used to stream giving advice to people on another service and made some extra money per month from monthly subscribers, but gave that up after a few years (having an infant causes issues for live streaming), plus I am a volunteer for a decade with a passion heartstring of mine, plus I do life coaching on the side (decluttering and health/wellness). I actually have a curriculum I have been working on but the whole "How do I make this?" is where I am stuck at after months of researching...plus I am on CZcams. So yeah. . . . .. . . . . . . I have a million hobbies, interests, and passions.
Madi - You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now. Thank you for following God's calling on your life. So thankful for the content you share 🩷
This is so sweet 🥹 thank you!
Maddie you made me cry!! 💗🥰🥹 thank you 🙏
❤️
I’ve been following you for a while now. I started a YT channel two years ago then stopped posting videos until I can no longer access it. Then I just started creating a new channel a month ago not knowing how it’s going to pan out but I knew in my heart I wanted to make videos. Watching this episode just confirmed that I’m doing something right with my new channel. Thank you 🫶
I feel like you were describing myself during this entire video. 🫶🏼 I know the Holy Spirit keeps bringing me back to your videos (and course that I still need to finish), to speak to me. I’ve had the desire of starting a CZcams Channel for 2-3 years now and just haven’t. I’ve been dragging my feet on exactly what I would talk about. I feel like I have so many thoughts and wisdom in multiple areas, all thanks to my found faith. 🩷 Thank you for following the desire that was put on your heart. It’s helping so many.
You are a true testimony 🤎 thank you for pouring into us all
So sweet. 🥹 thank you ❤️
❤
❤️
