You have to decide who you want to be before you can find yourself, and you have to find yourself before you can start loving yourself. No one likes to admit that they are lacking in some areas because self-reflection can be scary and painful, thinking about the negative things you used to, but it is essential in moving forward to a positive light. It is very tough growing up with insecurities, but find a way to outlet your emotions, whether that be through social media or therapy, and you will come to find that you are not alone. Remember, self-love is a continuous process, but before you can start that process, you need to find out who you are.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Alex's road to becoming the Macro Barista
- Different ways to outlet your emotions
- The day to day process of self-love
- Being confident enough to break away from your comfortable identity in order to be more
- Exciting macro friendly coffee projects that Alex is working on now

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
