Why we are not getting married

Winter has arrived in full force to Northern Sweden so we have just made a fire here in the cabin to keep us warm because today we're sitting down to answering your most thoughtful personal unexpected and uncomfortable questions that you've sent into us we're answering questions like are we having more kids after such a tough birth why aren't we married yet is cabin life even what we hope for our favorite Swedish and danish Traditions what's it like raising a child in the wilderness can homeschooling even work here how has our relationship changed after having a child

and how do we handle Winter's constant Darkness so the very first question is we shouldn't do an intro I just told you I've already recorded the intro that is done they have just seen it and okay I'm so tired you have to speak to me in more More clear okay clear list first question I wonder if after Christine's difficult birth experience are you still considering expanding your family in the future that's the funny part of me that you know if I feel something has been difficult or if I am like um you know see okay

that's something I can maybe work on there so I already thought about who I'm going to contact what I'm going to do to like to limit my fear for the next birth M um so work on my fear um so Yeah if I could choose we never know with life but if I could choose I would love more small feeds running around yeah and that also says a lot how much of a kid can uh affect you I guess because like it was a very very um big and traumatic thing we went through at the

hospital especially you but just mean like how much like I mean quite quickly after we came home you're like oh I can't wait for you know we have two kids and three kids I was like we just Got home from the hospital with number one so yeah I I just feel so much in alignment of being a mother so I could easily see us having more kids um but again you never know you know you don't know if you can get more you don't know if um but if if we can choose yes we would

like more kids but uh it's not going to be now that's for sure um because he needs a fair chance to get what he needs of attention and also I'm very much you Know as a homap I believe that we should uh take time to prepare our body to have enough nourishment nourish our body enough uh to have a healthy pregnancy um yeah like you do when you you know make the dirt or the ground ready for a new seat you always you know prepar after season you prepare for a new season that's a good

metaphor now the most asked question is why don't you get married or uh will you get married or in your country do you feel any pressure to Marry h no we don't feel any pressure from the country we feel pressure from you guys this is easily the most asked question I think we always get every single time yeah and I I don't understand why it's such an important thing to other people that's what still fascinates me yeah why does that matter to people yeah you're allowed to ask it absolutely but I just don't understand why

that matters maybe you can write in the comments why it is that so important That we do get married yeah like if you would like to know actually um is it like a cultural thing is it a religious thing for some people maybe yeah and as I said in all the other live streams we will get married that day K will ask me to marry it next question does life in the cabin give you what you hoped for when you decided to move there I think what I hoped for was more control of my own

time and my own environment so yes on That department because I am very much where I want to be with forest and nature around around us uh I always said that like I made the decision of moving here to be my own boss and run my own time and so on but now when I have a girlfriend a baby two dogs um I am the lowest on the pecking order I feel like no I'm not that's not true but you know what the feeling is like from going um to being Your Own Boss basically and

now you have a little then you should just Continue with us and be happy single in the forest but I wouldn't be happy that's the that's the thing that's I really felt like all these Renovations I'm doing if it's struggling with that or working really hard on YouTube the reason I'm doing it is because I can enjoy the successes with you that's the whole point um so if I didn't have anyone to share it with it would feel kind of pointless almost you know that quote From um what was his name from the book you

know into the wild yeah happiness only real when shared and I really think so like I can absolutely enjoy life as a if I go on a hike myself but standing on a top of the mountain looking out just looking to the next of you and you have your family there or a friend or something that brings it up to another level as well I feel like how has the arrival of your baby changed your couple Relationship I spoke about a bit about this on my last live stream and I said that um it's quite

the same experience as my other friends have gone through the same thing like they felt like you get a closer bond with your um partner because you have this even more of a team feeling with you know having him um but it has also gone from this is from my perspective at least gone from like you and me um as a couple into more like We've joked about it and we called it a Bit like the roommate uh face where we're just more like uh living together as best friends and parents of course but what

I see is a couple you know like going out on dates doing stuff just turn me um that doesn't exist no that's on a break for now exactly and that's okay for me because we know that's a a period of time he needs attention um you need to be mom to him and I have to take a step back in my selfishness I guess because i'm my what do you call it love Language my strongest one is like physical touch and closeness um I don't get that so much from her because she gives all of

her um physical touch to him which she she should do um but I know there's a face um yeah um to be honest I am not that surprised because I knew that a newborn face is intense and I know it's a face because I we have been I have been so lucky we have been so lucky that our sister sisters got the babies before us so I Have seen my sister's development like from very intense newborn phas now when the baby is one year old and they be they can begin to be a couple again

so actually I'm just like it's a face yeah we are not that much boyfriend and girlfriend right now but I know this is you know one year of his life where he need so much closeness to the mom yeah and that's okay yeah and right about time we're starting to get back to each other then It's time for the next kid so then we just start all over again but I'm actually surprised I remember you told me uh even in the first months uh because you heard it from other moms that like when you had

had you know given all your attention to the baby all day most moms generally speaking would say like when the husbands comes like oh hi I want to cuddle and hug and kiss the most moms will be like no I I can't take more but that's not the case you never Rejected me in that sense no it's more the sense of like um yeah I don't know how to phrase it but it's I've never felt rejected in that way no I missed you so I don't haven't felt like that you know the other day where

um we were laying bed and you spooned me and I had AUST here me and then you was just like so wonderful exact yeah because we don't get these moments anymore no exactly when he's asleep we get those moments what size is your cabin we love to build Something similar um the total square meters is 70 square m downstairs and upstairs that's fine for spacewise but it will be nice for the bathroom next one is what are your winter holiday traditions you're laughing immediately do you want to tell them what our Traditions are I don't

know because I I feel like putting more and more on it every single year don't I I think so yeah yeah but it's going to be fun now when you have a kid exactly that's going To take you to the next level yeah I don't know I just I'm a very much of a Christmas person I love Christmas it's not like I have to have everything perfect or something like that but you start in October basically to I do at least talk about it and you started singing Christmas songs in October so I wouldn't say

so but I just I love the light I love baking I love you know Delight I mean like all the you know how you decorate the So Co Yeah Christmas is about H and I love it and I feel like we going to have so much good Traditions when he grows up like go out and get a Christmas tree in the forest and that's what I'm looking forward to taking my ax and my son like going out to the forest and cut a tree yeah and I just I love to do all kind of uh

you know yeah small cute things like I'm going to be one of those by like a little door and called the the and then we have to put food to him And stuff like that it's GNA and my parents always did this spefic specifically my dad that he um I think it was on Christmas was it yeah every Christmas morning in Sweden we all always get the presents in the evening or afternoon um but we got one gift in the morning that was hiding under our beds but sometimes he took a um a string that

was so insanely long and he put walked through the whole house so the string started at your bed and then it Walked through the hallway you know out to the living room out the window and then around the house in the door and you had to follow that string and at the end of the string more your package basically and it was the coest thing ever as a kid just like the like the excitement was just like where this where is it going to go that's a good one yeah so stuff like that I would

like to do with him as well what would be your best advice to new parents and the First month with the baby as I advise in my video when about his birth um read the book the 41st day I think that is what it call because I would say in this in the beginning is very much about the mom and of course the baby but you know the family taking care of the mom so the mom could take care of the baby and it's it do is such a big um it's such an important work

work to actually um support the mom so everything can come good from the start does that make sense And I my best advice would actually be to ask for help don't be too proud on asking for help we got my mom to come up for she was there for 10 12 days or something and then right after she went your parents came up for three weeks three weeks exactly so thank God for our parents yeah that was an amazing help like cooking and because in the beginning with a newborn you you don't do anything else

than sit in the couch and breastfeed Like I didn't even know how to brush my teeth like and so it is an intense time and you need help just just my mom showing or your parents just cooking all the food yeah such a relief going shopping fixing everything around it so my best advice would be ask for help if you can would you consider doing a Airbnb in your A-frame a few times a year for addition income Christine is already laughing okay tell them why you're why you're Laughing because I can't think of something worse

than having all all kind of people you don't know on in your yard here like that is the worst nightmare for you yeah it is absolutely and especially uh if it is the cabin or the A-frame or uh something like that it feels so private and like us like yeah I have a really hard time with that um so absolutely not the air Airbnb for the A-frame but Christine and I have a a long-term goal and a business idea that We would like one day to buy up um or invest in cabins around here um

surrounding neighborhoods and start to renting them out and be as like yeah Airbnb hosts for those cabins so we can not only talk about this lifestyle on our channels but also actually you can try it exactly yeah that could be fun yeah so just buy something simple renovate it a bit freshen it up and then put it up for rent that's our long-term goal yeah because I think that would be A really fun business to run with you as a it would be so much fun yeah so not the a frame and not the cabin

but another cabin maybe in the future I'm wondering what your sleeping Arrangement will be once your son gets a little older yeah uh we're going to talk about that in our new series yeah like uh we will definely try to co- sleep the whole family until it feels natural that he he going to move over in in her own bit or something like that but in the first Many years I think like to his I don't know I don't know it's up to yeah uh we going to I think we going to co sleep yeah

that's the goal and the thing we're doing in the new series if you don't know we have created a new series here on YouTube that we're going to launch quite soon we're recording it right now and in this series we're talking about that we're basically renovating the bedroom to become a family bedroom not just a k single dude bedroom H so we're Going to do a whole new bed situation and yeah so you will see more about that in the new series that's coming what about additional rooms like a bedroom for August or potentially other

children in the future good question and we haven't gotten that far yet like our first priority now is just getting a bathroom in here yeah um and then we'll see what's going to happen we have plans absolutely but since we are aiming on Co sleeping there is no rush whatsoever With other rooms that's so many years away absolutely time flies but I feel like yeah that's nothing I'm worrying about at all right now I think I definitely think I definitely feel that he should have his own space when he has the need for it but

when he doesn't have the need because you have the a frame yeah exactly to go up in and get your space and I have a whole house over there so so I think as long as he doesn't have A need for his own space that is not a rush for us I don't feel that that's a question for the future I would say what are your thoughts about schools in Sweden do you have any uh good schools nearby we have no idea what kind of schools we are we know there are schools around here and

we have um I know where they are even but I don't know which one we're going to pick or which one is going to be the best for him and also ties into the uh Future question here about now here are you planning to let August to go to a specific school for instance uh Monto or Balor oh you is really pushing on a very very sensitive spot for me because I have always you know um dreamed about having my kids on more alternative school than I I was on um I was at I don't

know how you say that um so yeah definitely W Waldorf or Steiner or something like that W of Steiner um while we were in Denmark I Read a lot about unschooling yeah that's true and that was so extremely interesting but uh we not allowed to homeschool in uh in Sweden so H I feel is such a sensitive subject because I really want him to have a positive experience being in the school and I want him to you know I want to keep his spirit I want to keep his um yeah his curiosity there in imagination

I I have such a hard time because both you And I um you had a good school you say but you were not I didn't really fit in you didn't fit in I did fit in in the group and I had lots of friends and that was never the problem but I didn't didn't fit into the box of going to school like I was so uh I was very I was very polite in school obious say so I didn't like you know create chaos or anything but I had several extra meetings with teachers uh where

my parents had to come as well Where they sit down like yeah um Kell is really nice and everything but if he just focus on his own work as much as everyone else's work then he would be in the best in the class because like not because I'm intelligent anything because I just ran around and check what everyone else was doing so a funny anecdote is that um my math teacher I think I was like 14 12 14 or something like that uh she got so sick of me running around so She uh they bought

a specific cardboard wall that was like several meters long several meters high uh if this is the classroom basically they put me in the corner up here and then the wall around me so I was just sitting with a chair and a little table and then my math book and then a whole wall and then the other rest of the classmates were on the other side of the wall uh so I didn't really fit in in that sense but I loved the school I love my friendships and Everything so I'm not I don't have a

bad memory of school but I think it's a box that not not all kid kids fit into yeah I had bad memories of school and um is more like I I'm very creative I'm very uh uh Curious so I was that kind of student that ask this the teacher constantly like why should I learn this what what are we going to use this for and like and they you know just just throw me you know out on other side of the door because they were so tired of Me so school really killed my yeah my

spirit actually so and I don't want this to happen for him I want school to be a positive experience so yeah sensitive subject sensitive subject what's something you're both looking forward to doing with your son when he gets older I have a whole list what I I know I I don't think in those terms because I just so much enjoy the now with him yeah I do too absolutely but it's as a dad I think a lot of dads Can recognize this as well that like I'm looking so much more fun looking forward to doing

all these physical activities like taking out fishing uh going picking for mushrooms berries um I'm very much looking forward to going to these like um I don't want to call them theme parks you know um the one I showed you before um it's like this Cowboy place in Sweden that that I went to as a kid you can um what do you call mine for gold you know when you sit in the river and like take Out the gold and then you make a medal out of that and it's for me this like like Peak

childhood and I want to give the same to him because my dad was super good at taking me out to adventures and like treasure hunting and ghost hunting um and stuff like that and I want to give the same to him yeah so that's something I'm really looking forward to I just enjoying now yeah yeah but I do too he's so cute right now how are the dogs handling Having a new baby brother they're laying right here um just at the fireplace I would say they're handling it super well uh I would to our gray

dog uh the oldest one I will say that she can get a bit jealous if I'm cuddling and playing specifically a lot with him like like throwing him around like doing a lot of funny noises then tus can react because I make the same noises with her and then she want to play as well yeah um but They want to come up with him and lick him all over um we only allow them to lick his hands for now because it's so much bacteria in their mouth and it's not a good idea to put that

on his taste and for now at least so yeah but they're handling it good I would say yeah really good they're super chill so I think it's going to be cool for him to actually grow up with um with two dogs and even more animals in the future this is a question for you Actually what made you choose the name August for the little one did you have a girl's name in mind as well I don't know where we got it from to you uh yeah okay because it was me that heard the name okay

and then I was like I really love the name a and you were like I love that too um and Yeah we actually has a have a girl name but we don't want to say it no that's if a get a girl next time then that will probably be it if it fits but hey Yeah so it was yeah I I knew the name and I just really love it and and we didn't we tried to find something else just to like yeah rule it out that we didn't find something afterwards but we were stuck

to August from very long time ago yeah would you consider getting more dogs or any other pets not more dogs not more dogs this is not U I'm happy they don't understand us right now but having two huskys and the baby and have going to have more babies in the Future it is just too much it's one thing if this was a breed huskys have a very strong hunting Instinct I talked about this many times but it's a bit tricky with them that we can't just let them loose and we we can let them lose

that's no problem but the problem is that they run away because there's so much mooses and other animals out there and it's quite dangerous for them to be out there because they're bears and links and stuff that can easily kill Them so we going to get more dogs when these guys have passed away one day absolutely but maybe not huskys because we would like something that we can just walk in the forest and they can actually be with us all the time but other pets we have talked about cats uh that would be nice one

day to keep the mouses like mice hey he and I don't think we have said there this anywhere online yet but we're getting we're going to try to have sheep Uh next summer MH so we talked to a farmer that lives half an hour away from here that we're going to have what we called Summer sheep basically you get them uh to live at your property for a few months so you can try it out and see how it feels um so that's something I'm very much looking forward to me too we've talked about sheep

and goats and stuff like that for a long time but now we can actually try it out before we invest and do something that ourselves Yeah and yeah I I would love a lot of animals like chickens we talked about uh I would love having horses one time again um yeah we talk about goats Al because I would love to make key fear and stuff like that um so yeah we u a lot of plans at least we love more animals yeah do you want to show your son's face on the internet until a certain

age or until he decides to stop it himself what do you Say we said this is a super tricky thing such a tricky question right now um I don't mind it it's was a very hard to show it for the first time I've that like because it was such a new thing but I don't feel a hard time now but we had this agreement me and Christine that we always if we take a photo or a little clip or something for YouTube or Instagram or whatever we always have to check with the other one to

like does this feel okay um we're never going to Involve him in anything pushy does that make sense like he's a part of his family as much as to salal our dogs um he's not the main character at all he's part of our family of course hey you're a big part of the family but he is not the one that's like the important thing for the for the content that's not you know yeah it's not what it's going to be about no yeah I don't know I I have such a you know I really enjoying

watching people family And with their children and stuff but I think it's such a fine balance today um you know I don't I never think from my perspective people do what they want to do but from my perspective I I would never use try not to use my kids as a as a something for my business or content and something I just want him to be a natural part of it and if I suddenly feel this is not right then we got to stop it yeah I the hardest thing I like the biggest problem I

have with people like that if I'm putting them in one compartment is that people that does that also include their kids in their advertisements and like try to you know earn money that way because they know that kids and like the family thing or that kind of Niche creates a lot of money um that for me would feel so weird to include him in an advertisement and earn money on him do you know what I mean if it's not like specifically baby clothing that we Really enjoy that's something else yeah it's it's a fine line

you know because I do follow people online and I have wonderful ways of doing it and I enjoying their content so yeah yeah we'll see that's the short answer how did you decide when you were ready to start a family my my short answer is I don't think anyone is ever ready we thought oh maybe we have to do this first before starting a family oh we have to get our finances up and Running first and but like we're equally panicking about our finances now as we did two three years ago yeah so I don't

think there's ever a like there is more optimal timings I would say um and to be honest um a part of we also started a family is also an age thing that's true that we just have to like because you know of course you can get kids in your 40s and stuff like that but um I didn't want to be too old mom no um so uh that was that was also why we Start in the beginning of our 30s and again thank God we did that because with all these miscarriages it took several of

years yeah for you who don't know we we you had three miscarriages before he came so it was a long process and you never know like it could have worked right away but it was nice that we started that early because it took several years so so that is part of it yeah do you think there are any disadvantages to raising a kid in the Countryside um that could only be that you are far away from um you know activities um or that the friends can live our way as well um I can say so

much good stuff about it ex but uh I feel that is kind of you know we are far away from family friends uh activities yeah but I don't see of course the the distance is a bit of a thing but since we do we run our own businesses we have the flexibility to go whenever we want so like on the Mondays right now we're Going on baby swimming with him it's like 10 no 11: in the uh what do you call it FY dog uh yeah 11: in the morning before lunch um so we go

baby swimming and that's a half an hour to drive in and half an hour home and we need to be there there like half an hour before to get him changed and then half an hour to an hour afterwards so half the day disappears with just half an hour of baby swimming uh but it's so worth it to see it it's so cozy it's so Cozy that's the highlight of my week I can say are there plans to enlarge the cabin so there are uh bedrooms for children we kind of already talked about this but

we are the enlargement of the cabin is not going to be for uh kids uh first of all it's going to be a bathroom we actually had a carpenter here yesterday oh we have so much to do this week it was about was it yesterday no it was two days ago two days ago okay yeah he was here and we made a a sketch of What what we would like it to be how big it need we needed to be so we can fit the shower a bathtub washing machine um so we're planning to build

out uh that way um so that's the plan what are some childhood tradition in Danish and in Swedish cultures you hope to carry on with your son something that missing here in Sweden is Fest alone yeah and I'm very disappointed about that festone is where you it's not Halloween you not you have custumes on But it's not scary it's like happy custume you could be an um cobbo or yeah whatever you could be you know and then it's also about that you go from from house to house and ask for candy but it's more like

a big party in in the street feeling and um it wouldn't be so many houses to go knock on around here though but we could do something else like absolutely um yeah it's a very very Festival feeling and it's so cozy I feel we have a bit the same in the spring Around Easter I don't know if that's a Swedish tradition when you know you dress up as a witch uh and then you go trick-or-treating basically asking for candy and you don't do that in the mark okay so every spring we do that but that's

then you're specifically a witch okay with like a little Shale around your head and you go with your staff and staff do you call the broom you know that you can fly on um the funniest thing is like our Midsummer parties is So different from Denmark to Sweden very really funny um like in Denmark we have a big bonfire and then we take I don't know why we do that because in old days it's so horrible you burned witches which was just um Al actually alternative women um it's horrible and today you uh you buil

a witch like a doll and then you burn the doll and the big bonfire and sing songs and look at that so yeah it's really fun where in your case you build a big a big dick Basically you know that I didn't want to say that it is what it is um it's a big stick in the middle of the ground with a lot of flowers on it uh that represent male genitalia basically dance around it and sing songs and eat and drink yeah so it's a very happy occasion yeah you way more happy I

like that rer dance around the dick than burn witches but F FAL is not where you eat the f Yeah okay that's that's the biggest part of it for me because you get these like pastries like super super good um super super okay hey scary do you speak Danish or Swedish to the baby are the languages similar I speak Swedish to him and Christine talk Danish and Christine and I talk mostly English English to each other not because we don't understand each other because we you now yeah no problems at all the first time I

had the First time we ever had a phone call uh because we met online uh we said that like oh let's take it in Danish and Swedish and we'll try it and she you know you said hello and something else and I was like I'm sorry I don't understand a single word word um but since then we just done English but I understand Danish fluently and you understand my Swedish fluently so why are we not talking that because it is really nice to keep going with the English otherwise It Feels So unnaturally unnatural yeah when

we're filming to put up the camera yeah yeah now we just hit and record and talking like we always do but I would say that it's becoming more Swedish and danis than it was just a year ago or two years ago way more yeah yeah and I don't even notice it anymore like now it's just three languages um tied together so I can hear when you have spoken to your family or Just you know on the phone or something I can hear you just on Danish for a while until you get back to English so

but yeah he's going to have basically three languages quite early to answer that question yes they're quite similar in language U but I will say Swedish and Norwegian are closer and I will say Danish and Norwegian are also closer somehow yeah that's true which doesn't really make any sense but how did you manage anxiety and fear around pregnancy After the miscarriages I talked a lot about it I um I tried not to keep it in um so don't you think I talked a lot with you about it yeah we talked with friends and family yeah

a lot what I felt um and I listening to podcast or read blogs about uh other people that other women that go through the same um so that was yeah a lot that talking about it out loud does a lot don't keep It in no and that's also why we done videos about both the misc characters about his so do you want to back but that's also why we've done videos about the miscarriages about his complicated birth because it's a bit of therapy for us as well uh because when we get comments back saying like

oh we have the same experience we went through this and this and that it's so much easier to process it somehow because you Feel that other people have been through the same thing and with hope that maybe other can find some kind of comfort if they hear our story that's definitely why I I do had done those videos is because I feel it helped me yeah when when I felt alone with it so I want to do that for others to be honest about what I've been going through so I personally hadn't read up on

it so much I knew there was a big risk for everyone it's like 20 or 25% on the first birth Or something um but no one has had really prepared us for what what it would be like uh and that was quite scary but I think you handled it really good by talking to others and didn't like just put a lid on it and ignored it but actually talked about it and also um I listened to a podcast with our doctor that have been in Denmark they have been um have made a lot of research

in Denmark about miscarriages and they actually talk T talked about oh my God Actually talked about that um women that experience several of miscarriage have a higher tendency to experience depression so it was really important for me to not get in that category and get it out because I know the more you keep it in it will pop out in some kind of a way so was really important me to get it out um talk about it uh processing it so how are Christine feeling now after pregnancy feel wonderful I feel tired right now because

we Have have had some a bit of rough period um he has developed a bit of ecmia and I don't want any good advice because I have talked with thousands of people you're going to get it either way so we are working on it um but that have made the the night's rough but otherwise I feel amazing I'm happy to be a um yeah and he's such a good wonderful baby yeah he's so good and his self-care tips to get through the winter months uh for me it's about getting out In the middle of the

day when the sun is actually out which we haven't no exactly we felt you said it me before we recorded this like I haven't been out like and you can feel that both in our moods and fresh air um a bit of sunlight in your face it does a lot actually I've been thinking about I'm going to make a whole video about it on my channel because it's such I'm so interested in how we naturally worked with the winter in old days you know because witer Depression is actually um you know it's um something that's

you know we talk very much about here in the modern time and I yeah uh I'm going to do more about that subject because that's a lot of things you could do uh so the window doesn't feel so tough no but for me personally I don't think the the the darkness is a problem for me no but for some it is yeah I know but for me it's not like depressing or anything it just it's super beautiful because when it Goes dark the sky lights up and it's super beautiful and I just when I walk

to dogs in the dark I just have a headlamp on I think it's super cozy but you do a lot of this stuff because you been living with me you know like you you do a lot of those stuff that make you feel feel easier WWI if that makes sense when I moved here alone for the first time I was afraid of the dark um then I couldn't just I had to have every light on and it was super scary to be Alone yeah um but wa it's just that okay good but now I usually

I'm that's actually one of the um things I really developed moving here I can walk around in complete darkness without any light on and actually navigate very well yeah yeah you bored I know I'm so sorry now we're happy again but short answer yes Christine will do a video apparently on your channel yeah about Darkness yeah not Darkness winter Winter what are your favorite things to do together as a new family baby swimming exactly that was the first thing I thought about as well but it is really Coy it's super cozy just see him like

yeah and we eat the lunch afterward it's so good it's like a date mm and meet other parents hang out with them a bit exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah does YouTube and social media feel like a hustle as a job it's a different thing When you're a family and you have to adjust to him of course he's super easy to be around when we're filming as well but it's um of course adds another complicated factor I just I don't think it's special social media I think as soon you're self-employed and everything is on your

shoulders like you could be entrepreneur or something like that yeah yeah it doesn't need to be a social media no it's just it's a lot of work because you are the one driving it You know um but even if I can feel like it's a hustle sometimes and you have to push through that's every job has to do that and it's the best job I've ever had and I love to work for my own company you do too um but no one has a job that you can't complain about I mean everyone has complaints about

everything yeah I don't know I love we love this job we love our job would change it for the work but yeah of course it's a lot of work um so if you don't love this you Shouldn't do it like we joked about yeah we went from quitting our 95s and now we're working 24/7 instead um that's the stunning joke basically yeah I don't want to sit down anymore me I'm such a a move move move move he's smiling have you planned to do more videos on patreon c i released this is releasing on Sunday

uh that means I released for you guys I released a new patreon video yesterday um so you can go And check out I'll link it here on screen so you can see what it's about as well is it possible to make a living through social media just by being consistent yes but I don't know exactly uh I think our key has been to diversify our income because if we just rely on YouTube that will be too vulnerable like one month can be really good on YouTube um and this is our full-time job and like last

month I earned $600 U on YouTube before Swedish taxes um and that's not possible to just live on those $600 for us but you have different s uh you also have different sources of income you have YouTube I anything on YouTube no but you have it as a possib possible income and you that you earn your clients through YouTube and Instagram I would say they discover you through YouTube yeah I would say that I don't earn money on YouTube there would be I don't think that I don't think that it's all social media necessarily need

to bring an income directly just mean that that could be oh this see a video of you working as a hmap oh okay I go sign up to either be your client or join your woman Circle um there's a link to all those down in the description by the way uh yeah where I'm earning my money is clients and woman Circle for sure woman circle is active so if you want to be Part of that join you're so welcome you're having a live stream um today when this video is going out yeah I'm actually going

to do a really special live stream um it's a more of um I'm going to do a caca salmony where we um also chose like a mushroom um to support the salmony and then it's going to be way more of a deep dive into yourself like kind of I'm going to guide them through like a really I think a beautiful Meditation T type it's going to be a bit different um of on a whole hour but typical those live stream it could be something like that we sometime we have been reading a book uh we

discuss or we just meet up and discuss something and talk and just hang out so it's very cozy yeah it's very different each time as well yeah so and you do it all digitally on your woman Circle and on Zoom exactly so no matter what you're living you can you can join in yeah what advice would You give yourself you could if you could go back in time to before you made the move to myself I would say k buy something with the bathroom so my now you know what I mean I just that would

really be stupid because you needed cab you need to survive in the wilderness like that was really what you needed back then I needed to heal some really tough I was going through and I needed to push myself to the Limit I think um that's a good point yeah um and again those two years I have been living here full time I needed that too I needed to also you know go completely back to basic um that was amazing yeah but advice it's easy to say like oh I wish I could have done it sooner

but it happened when it happened I would my big biggest advice would probably be to myself at least that like dare to try the things that you have in your mind um and that it's okay to fail and failing Is at least trying you know like we're so caught up on this idea of like failing is something negative negative something that people look down on and so on but I think it's something that actually is so important for us I think it's important that we try something and if you fail yeah we learn something from

it and maybe take a step in another direction or just try it again so I would say fail more if it I was SP speak to my own self yeah I was Just thinking like no matter what we do in life also about that question before about can you earn money on social media it's like if things are coming from a point of I just need to earn money or do you know what I mean everything should come from the heart then it then it's going to flow somehow that is my experience in life so

it is you know if your heart is longing for going you know live in a cabin you will find your way somehow exactly uh it's the same like if You just want to go on social media to just earn money you know that for me that's a bit that is a bit the wrong energy to go with yeah I agree we do social media because it's super creative uh we love C capturing these stories love to yeah it's not of course um we can only do this since we're earning money on it uh but that's

not why I started filming or taking photos I did that for years before I started earning money I just randomly stumbled upon I Can earn money on it yeah so as you said I did it out of passion and you did as well yeah but also just moving here it was because you know the heart was longing for it so it was not like oh we were not thinking like oh it could be a good idea to move to a cabin and then start a YouTube channel because that will earn you know that was not

how we fought we just it was the hard singing for something and we followed that song yeah yeah how did you guys meet this was Also a question that came from a lot of people and we have actually made a video was it last year I think or maybe two years ago even we have it on here on my channel you can I can link it down in the description it's a whole video just based on how we met basically so you can check that out if you would manifest a new friendship what traits would

you wish that person has or what would you want that friendship to bring you into your life that's a good Question uh I feel I have already started a lot with that um in a way I begin to attract some really wonderful women into my life and I actually think a bit when I attracted you um the things I begin to develop in myself like something I appreciate in myself like I appreciate very much women that are very honest not gossiping um I appreciate very much women that is like um very grounded in themsel um

and having some some interest But neres like I am you know have some interest um yeah like where we can have some deeper conversation and just you know there's this again nothing wrong if that is what people want to but there's some moment that meet up to to have like a dinner and gossip where I feel very uncomfortable in stuff like that I I rather meet up and you know sit knitting yeah like like talk about real real stuff going on inside of us and um trying to do something creative together Or yeah learn skills

from each other stuff like that and I feel that is slowly begin to that kind of women that slowly begin to come into my life as well it's like that famous saying you are who you surround yourself with basically and I think that's very true uh if you surround yourself yourself with people that just push for a hard career and want to earn a lot of money or go out partying every weekend or something you're going to be drawn more To becoming a person like that and we have really being intentional with the people we

have around us we're very this sounds very like snobbish I guess but we very picky with people we hang out with on a daily basis it's not snobbish because I have experienced some horrible stuff in my future like fure sound yeah uh if you I know how it can I don't know how to say that in a nice way up that's not the way you should say it but how it can destroy Your life if you have the wrong people yeah in it we need people that we can trust completely no matter what happens I

know that all the friends I hang that I hang out with today I could call them if something happens I can call them and they will show up immediately even if it's a small or big thing they will be there and they will have our BS so trust is a big thing for me I remember um our good friend to Matias I think most of us and most of you guys know Tell us but on YouTube Maas sent me like a picture on his stories I can't remember what I stood like you know you have

the right kind of people something like that if they are talking nice about you when you're not in the room or something like that that's a good point protecting you take your back or something when you're not in the room yeah that's very true yeah and that's very much toas I say what are something you Christine and you K want to do Different from your own childhood and what are something you want to bring forward from your own childhood wow he's deep and good questions but yeah wow I spoke a bit earlier but what I

want to do similar like the playfulness with him going on adventures be there for him um because the reason we got kids is to be with the kids yeah um that's why we're choosing to have him at home as long as we possibly can um so I think that's a thing my mom um didn't put me in any Kindergarten or anything I was at home with her until I was is it 6 or seven you start school uh and that was a big sacrifice for her to do um she worked at the same time but

still had me and it was yeah that was super impressive and I want to do the same with him for both like so we both can give that to him something that's I thought about with my family is like I can always trust my parents to pick up the phone when I call them my mom has Always sit down also my dad always sit down and listening to what I have to say like some I remember like when she come home from a long day of work and I really need to talk she took me

for a walk and I talk for hours and she just listening um stuff like that um very appreciating for my family something my my mom had talked about if she she could have done something differently it's definitely um that that we were so much in um in insation in kindergarten stuff Like that like I already and that is even late for Americans I know that um I got to the already got to a kindergarten when I was 6 months yeah exactly and um she would Lov to keep us more home yeah so that's what I

want to do different with yeah my little son this is probably I don't know if you can answer this this is not a short answer uh but maybe you'll answer it yourself how did Christine cure her fertility issues through holistic ways and how living a Homestead life has brought pros and cons to fertility mamood being a homemaker Etc God answer please I have a whole woman Circle about this yeah yeah it's not a simple answer because I had done a lot of steps um uh if I should just give some really quick ones um um

food is a very important part of it I I was very um much on what could boost my fertility food um you can find that in my woman Circle that would be very long to sit Talk about um stress is so important and that could be you know the everyday kind of stress like um women physiology is very much about feeling safe feeling safe and we are designed to feel our environment is this an environment that is safe to have kids I know we're not thinking about that but that is what we biological have inside

of us and that was also one of the reason I actually moved away from the cabin not because I Feel it's unsafe but we had so many fires you could I like that going on not literal fires not literal fires but like I didn't really trust the water sauce back then I was afraid that would make me sick because it changed so much after they cut a lot of forest yeah we drank from um for the first 5 years I drank from the the pond or the creek that coming down from the mountain um but

it something happened after the cut some Forest up there I still drying from It but now we have our own water source but it is a stress for you absolutely yeah and it was just there was a lot of stresses for me in this cabin that make where I was not really um make I can find really at peace and relaxed I couldn't really like to my core relaxing and that's is a big you know big big red flag and when you want to make kids because there's a lot of stress on the body you

were also on me um you know fertility is of course not only No no I have to say that um it's actually it's actually shown dude hey confies it's actually shown that uh that men's sperm city is um decline so that I thought I would never see that in front of a camera thousands of people that talk sperm Quality quality but it's declining a lot so it's actually hello a lot of the times actually the man it's hard to find the English words for it um so we uh I put you on a lot of

for food and Supplements and yeah it was not a it was not a like a bad thing at all it was just good stuff and healthy stuff and I really enjoyed it so it was not like a sacrifice or anything like that so I'm going to do that next time again um when we I see when she start showing up with different pills and different diets I was like H okay I want to know what's going on so no and I would definitely recommend you to if you had you know already now Track your cycle

uh if there problems in your cycle you know there would maybe also be problems becoming pregnant and have a good pregnancy um so yeah that's the short answer if you want to know more check out her W Circle they're having a live stream tonight basically with the cacao ceremony yeah there's a link down in the description and you can ask me questions in the woman C exactly yeah Okay that was it thank you so much for watching and again check out the woman Circle or check out my patreon if you want to support us uh
