OH MY GODSHOT!

This episode is all about how we integrate boundary setting into our personal and professional lives. Boundaries are a tricky thing and I think our industry has a history of being pretty fast and loose with them. But is there and opportunity to cultivate better boundaries? And how does the role of forgiveness play into that? xo, C

Hey good friends!   This episode is kind of a "heres why you haven't heard from me" mixed with "I like coffee again" mixed with "Is Italian Coffee better than your coffee?" all couched in an apology for going MIA for so long.   xo, C

This amazing conversation with Freda Yuan is one of the true gifts of doing this podcast. What an incredible opportunity to speak to a human with such grace, openness and self-awareness.   Freda has a long list of professional accolades but to be honest we spent very little time talking about coffee and most of our time talking about the complicated relationship between mental health, spirituality, body image and how that has informed both of our experiences.   CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: Depression, Mental Health, Bulimia, Eating Disorders are all discussed.   Find Freda at: www.fredayuan.com @imfreda You can order her book online at her website or through many wonderful coffee companies.   Lots of love and thanks for your support!   Links to things we discussed: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49476.Zero_Limits https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6708.The_Power_of_Now https://zivameditation.com/ https://www.ramdass.org   Follow ME at : @ohmygodshot

Hey Folks,   This is a topic that's been on my mind for some time now. I am happy to get to express it a little bit. Figuring out who you are in an industry is difficult. Doing that over and over again, over many years, many jobs, many experiences... that's some deep work. Here's a little insight as to how it's played out for me.   Thanks for listening and have fun, xo, C   @ohmygodshot

This was an incredibly moving episode to record. Alex and I have been friends for many years. We always have insightful and meaningful conversations and this was no different. The honesty with which Alex articulates his experience of owning a cafe is so refreshing and I think will offer a huge benefit to anyone within the industry who happens to listen. Please take the time for this one, it will hit you in a whole different way. @capitalespresso @alex.d.tran This episode is brought to you by @myraclekitchen, My favourite plant based mylk for coffee!
