I'm going to be. Hi, welcome back to another coffee talk. Well today is actually a macha talk. I decided to make

myself a vanilla macha and I just got a new frother at home too so I froth

some oat milk with it and I'm about to do my first taste test.

I have not taken a sip yet.

I waited so that we could do this together,

you know, experience this together, this first drink together. Oh my lord, this is delicious. I actually ask on the Kalin's coffee talk

Instagram a few weeks ago what your favorite spring drinks were

and I've gotten so much inspiration from everybody's input.

There was so many great drinks to try and Macha kept popping up and ever since I've been thinking about it

So I finally picked up some Macha to try it was Alyssa who said I've been getting iced machealattes in the springtime

Mine isn't iced because itit lattes in the springtime.

Mine isn't iced because it's a little chilly this morning.

However, I'm going to try it iced next.

She says, I mix it with a little bit of vanilla and oat milk.

So, Alyssa, I want you to know you inspired my drink today. Thank you so much.

Today I want to have a discussion about motherhood and specifically moving into motherhood without the essence or the guidance of a mother figure.

This is obviously a tougher conversation to host for a couple of reasons. I always try to find that balance and

walk that line when sharing my own personal experiences to also protect the

privacy of the people that I obviously have had experiences with, if that makes

sense. So I have talked in numerous occasions about not being very close with my mom and the ways that it has been difficult but I've also

left a lot of it kind of undetailed for the obvious reason that I still love my mom that is still my mom I still want to

protect her and protect her privacy in a lot of ways so I'm not going to get into
