Episode Behind the Mic with Coffee Break Podcast

0:00 1:35:24

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!

This week we’re joined by our good friends from Coffee Break Podcast, and trust us…this episode goes everywhere. We talk day-one podcast struggles, what it’s like building a platform from scratch, awkward run-ins with listeners, and all the behind-the-scenes chaos that never makes it on camera.

We also get into how they chose their name, what their families really think about the pod, and the art of learning to filter yourself (or at least trying to). Plus: editing glow-ups, future plans for both our platforms, travel stories, and yes…unfortunately sad pet stories😭

Grab your snack, turn up the volume, start your chores or go for a drive — and hang with your cousins for another chaotic, wholesome episode. Thank you for the endless love, your messages, your comments, EVERYTHING.

WE LOVE YALL SO MUCH ❤️
