What’s Brewing? is a podcast about real life, real work, and the conversations that happen somewhere between the first sip and the last drop. It’s a space where everyone’s welcome at the table, and where you get to brew what feels right for you. Hosted by Demi and Mona, we talk about what’s in our cups - from community care and growth, to burnout, boundaries, and everything in between. No hot takes, no pressure to have it all figured out - just honest conversations about showing up as we are, in work and in life. Because sometimes the most meaningful shifts happen during a coffee break.
