I finished my university exams yesterday and as a reward I bought the membership for this month 😂 I'm so happy to finally being able to watch exclusive content and have a little bit more of Kalyn in my life. I have followed you for years and I am so happy of the person you are today and I feel like you're one of my friends. This Coffee Talk was also really needed. I'm trying to take care of myself in this phase of my life, I'm shifting from being a student to fully being an adult and I'm trying to find myself... Love you Fede (from Italy)
Hm. What I noticed is... If you go for a "self-care summer" or a "slow summer" it's still... a project you're undertaking. It's still an aesthetic, a vibe, a "thing". What I'm going for, and what I really would recommend to anyone is... literally letting go of all of those lables. I'm just gonna have a summer. When I wanna chill, I'm gonna chill. When I wanna go out in a hot dress the next day, I'm gonna do that. When I want to take a trip, I'll see if I can book a short-notice one for just a day or two. I'm so done with all of the aesthetics, all of these... "bundles" that feel like they should have a specific playlist, set of outfits, set of colors, set of THINGS. As for me, I'll just be. Nothing else. I can choose wildly different things for every single day - or do the same thing every single day during my summer. I'm gonna let go of the planning, the controlling, the shaming myself for not meeting my expectations, for things not "looking right". For the next couple of weeks (until my big transitions hits) I will not give a fuck about the expecations of others. And, more importantly, I'll not give a shit about my own expectations and standards and pressures. I'm done with that. No aesthetics. No plans. No fucks given. Peace out.
This summer I want to get physically more fit. I started beginning of June and I already see progress in my fitness - not my body tho, but its the first time I am not all about loosing weight and that just shows how much I've grown. And on top of that I try to eat more healthy which is easier with work because I plan the day before what I'll eat, so I have no excuses the next day and eat the healthy meals I've prepared. 🤣
I had to cancel my classes for the summer semester and be okay with graduating a semester later. Some times a break, a rest, or an open time for creativity is necessary to recharge. After I canceled them, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders that I didn't realize was there.
Idk why but hearing "self care can include seeing friends" is very much what I needed to hear - I think the aesthetic of self care often overrides the different types of self care out there. For me I think I really need to have a GYST day and plan my life better; I feel so at sea with everything and I need to recenter and work out my next moves. (Which I've been putting off for months...) But then the other big thing I'm dealing with is isolation and loneliness - I still work from home which has its perks but I think I'm one of those people that gets their energy by being around other happy people. I love the buzz of a city in summer and being in a not too crowded bar with friends and enjoying the sun. But (un)fortunately I live at home with my parents and they live in a gorgeous middle of nowhere village full of lovely friendly old people... its a vibe just not my vibe at this point in time. And it's super isolating - I'm just that little too far out for my pals to pop over for a cuppa and vice versa. So I've spruced up my social calendar and I think I need to accept that in summer, people will make the effort, in winter, everyone wants to hibernate, and I just gotta accept that. 🙄 I will still aim for one social outing once a month but I think I need to manage my expectations bc it's not been for lack of trying.
I was just thinking about this today!! Using the prompts really helped me better organize what I want to focus on this summer, thank you! But how do we go about saying “no” to things without feeling guilty?
This is perfect for me right now in my life.. I just finished college and my Practicum is done Thursday and I am taking the whole month of July for myself!!!
Ahhhh, the ole pregnancy brain. Mine never went away. 🤣 Then I got COVID and COVID brain was terrible too! Couldn't have a real conversation for a solid 2 weeks.
how is this exactly what I struggled with in spring leading up to summer and now once I found I need this summer for myself, it is what you post. always here for me thanks!!
I was really needing this today! Feeling very stuck and negative about my physical appearance and writing down my thoughts for each of these prompts has helped me get a grip on what I could do to help get out of this funk❤️ as usual you’re always coming up with perfect content that is much needed
I had a baby one year ago, so this was a rough year, it was amazing but i definitely feel burnt out by now. I want to take care of my body more because my back hurts... And i need to focus on doing things for myself, things that i enjoy more. Life with a baby or now a toddler is so chaotic, i can barely cope with it, so my mental health needs help too.
I'm going through a break-up right now. I really want to learn to spend time with myself and if I'm lonely, really sit with that feeling and not search for distractions from outside, i.e. in other relationships. I want to know i can handle being on my own and not be scared of it, so i don't need to stay in another relationship just because i need some sort of affection, acceptence or approval that i am worthy. Because i want to find those things in me and not from external sources. I want to heal. I want to feel calm and not stress over things that don't matter in the end.
Healthy Girl Summer!!! ^_^ That's what I've been saying since your last coffee talk about "hot girl summer". I'm glad you're covering this topic as I've felt the same way in regards to the toxic view of "hot girl summer"
I’ve fallen in love with reading again. A reading slump for me is a warning sign that I’ve over scheduled myself. I’ve read some amazing books so far this summer on my balcony and it feels ohhhh sooo relaxing.
Thank you for the talk about this 😊 i am going to do my best and take care of myself more this summer season, be it by journaling more thoroughly or taking a shower more mindfully instead of rushing for the next thing on my to do list. I am discovering more about myself and what i need and want in this life.
So inspiring talk like always, in summer it is always harder to focus and we feel more tired .. Your coffee talk this time is about everything that i am thinking right now .. Thanks for sharing ! 🤍
hi kalyn =) just a tip from another mama: if you want to breastfeed you should not drink peppermint tea. It is known to decrease your milk supply. Of course if you don't want to breastfeed (which is totally fine!!) just ignore this comment. sending love
KALYN. Your content is inspiring as well as uplifting. You are spiritually advanced for your age. Thank you for putting it to good use, for the benefit of your subscribers!
Loved this! Thank you girl this was a great exercise to go through! I've had quite a rough 6 months and feel super disconnected from myself. I am about to have some time to just focus on myself and thanks to you now I have a plan. ❤️
So my brain read the title screen as sex care summer. (Ah yes,I thought, Kalyns bringing THE tea today Hahaha) and then I must admit I was a little disappointed when I realized it wasn't a girl chat/coffee talk about that 🤣
My summer: healing. Big time. Taking back my self confidence. Growing mental fortitude. New path. Healing myself and my financial health too.
That sounds like an amazing thing to focus on, good luck with it and hope you can heal everything that you feel needs your attention

Congrats on finishing your uni exams. They can be exhausting and I don't miss that part about uni one bit. I hope they all went well!
Thank you! I need this!

Okey it is amazing that I've decided yesterday this summer i am taking care of mental health and you post this video today. Love you

Just when I've started to journal and work on improving my systems again. With every bit of mindfulness. This couldn't get any better. Thank you 💖

In winter you could even do virtual get togetherness or a cozy quick outing/cozy theme!
Appreciate the people who never give up on you.

Long coffee talks will forever be my favourite videos! Always inspiring 💕
Ahhhh, the ole pregnancy brain. Mine never went away. 🤣 Then I got COVID and COVID brain was terrible too! Couldn't have a real conversation for a solid 2 weeks.
Thank you for the beautiful reminder that we are in control of our destiny. Love your calm energy, being pregnant suits you so well 🥹💗

I know I’m a few days late, but I’d love to know where to get that mug! It’s the perfect size!
where do i get that candle?!
Healthy Girl Summer!!! ^_^
That's what I've been saying since your last coffee talk about "hot girl summer".
I'm glad you're covering this topic as I've felt the same way in regards to the toxic view of "hot girl summer"
Omg Kayln you read my mind *grabs tea*
I’ve fallen in love with reading again. A reading slump for me is a warning sign that I’ve over scheduled myself. I’ve read some amazing books so far this summer on my balcony and it feels ohhhh sooo relaxing.
oooo what’re some books you read
Great video! ✨ very helpful
Thank you for the talk about this 😊 i am going to do my best and take care of myself more this summer season, be it by journaling more thoroughly or taking a shower more mindfully instead of rushing for the next thing on my to do list. I am discovering more about myself and what i need and want in this life.
Aww, congratulations!!
I love these prompts and am going to use them to plan all my seasons.
I love this! Thank you!
So inspiring talk like always, in summer it is always harder to focus and we feel more tired .. Your coffee talk this time is about everything that i am thinking right now .. Thanks for sharing ! 🤍
Girl. I can't even TELL you how much: this is the vibe 🥰💜
Thanks kalyn ☺️ .. would you please make the videos without background music as it distract me 🥲.
Thank you Kalyn, much needed 🙏💖✨️
Love ya! N it could be pregnancy brain.. lasts a bit, but you’d bounce back quick imo ♥️
