    Aug 28 2025

    Send us a text

    We’ve officially wrapped up our Anywhere But There series and found our new recording home at The Hive! 🐝 Things are coming together for the Cup of Conversation brand as we continue growing, refining our roles, and building with our community.

    This week, we want YOUR input: what should we call our listeners? Do you vibe more with The Sippers, Cup Cousins, Pour Folks—or do you have an even better idea? Drop your suggestions in the comments! 🥤💭

    On today’s episode, we welcomed back returning guests Nay Tha Beauty and Ricky St. Julien II as we tested out a potential debate-style panel you might start seeing more of. Together, we dove into the hot topic of social media presence in relationships—how much is too much, and does it really matter?

    Of course, we couldn’t leave without turning up the heat in our Last Sip segment. Let’s just say it got so spicy we had to save some for Part Two next week. 🔥

    Tune in, laugh with us, and sip on the convo—this is one you don’t want to miss!

  • EP 76 - "Anywhere but There" Partnership Isn’t Easy… But We’re Figuring It Out
    Aug 21 2025

    Send us a text

    In this solo episode of Anywhere But There, it’s just Coco and Tee holding it down. We’re getting transparent about what it really takes to keep our partnership — and this podcast — growing.

    From learning how to communicate better, to figuring out how to cordially exist when things get tense, we’re sharing the highs, lows, and lessons of building a business together.

    Some of the questions we dive into:
    💬 What value do you bring to the show?
    🤝 How do you handle difficult situations in business?
    🌱 What does growth look like in a partnership that isn’t always easy?

    This episode is raw, honest, and a reminder that the behind-the-scenes of a podcast isn’t always as perfect as it looks.

    👉🏾 COMMENT: What do you bring to the table in your partnerships?
    📌 SUBSCRIBE for more stops in the Anywhere But There series — the journey isn’t over yet.

  • EP 75: Jack of All Trades - Hustler or Entrepreneur? | Anywhere But There
    Aug 14 2025

    Send us a text

    🎙️ Jack of All Trades vs. Master of None | Entrepreneurs vs. Hustlers
    In this week’s Anywhere But There episode, we’re breaking down the real difference between being an entrepreneur and a hustler — and why being a jack of all trades isn’t always a bad thing.

    We’ve switched things up with a fresh new format and brand-new segments, plus we’re still on the hunt for our next podcast home (so close… but not quite there yet 👀). Want to see more of that search? Extra footage will be dropping on our Patreon next week, where we’ll also spill the behind-the-scenes tea about the business and drama of the pod.

    We talk about:
    🔄 The truth about “jack of all trades” in business
    💼 How hustlers and entrepreneurs really differ
    🏠 Our almost-finished search for a permanent podcast space
    🔥 The start of our new episode format & segments

    💬 COMMENT: Do you see yourself as more of a hustler or an entrepreneur?

  • Ep 73: Anywhere But There - The Weight of Purpose: A Man’s Grind to Provide
    Aug 12 2025

    Send us a text

    In this week’s episode of the Anywhere But There series, we’re switching things up with a much-needed male perspective on the entrepreneur grind. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ricky St. Julien II—a serial entrepreneur, author, and powerhouse visionary—as we explored the weight men carry while chasing purpose.

    Ricky opened up about the balancing act between ambition and expectation, and how the pressure to provide often shapes how men move through life, love, and legacy. Whether you’re building something from scratch or navigating your own journey, this convo is full of real talk, game, and gems.

    📍Filmed live at The Hive Houston Tx. 7800 Amelia Road!—because we’re still podcasting Anywhere But There.

  • EP. 71: "Anywhere But There" Series Pt. 1 | We’re Not Friends?!
    Jul 24 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the first episode of our brand new mini-series “Anywhere But There” — where we take Cup of Conversation on the road and out of the studio 👣🎤

    In this episode, we talk about:
    🗺️ Why we’re searching for a new podcast home
    💼 The business side of podcasting that nobody talks about
    💬 And the truth behind our dynamic: we’re not friends — and that’s OK

    A lot of people assume every podcast duo is besties behind the mic, but the reality of building something together (especially as two women) is a lot more complex. This is a transparent convo about growth, boundaries, and why we’re still showing up even when things change.

    If you’re a creative, podcaster, or just nosy 👀 — this episode is for you.

  • Mama’s Boys & Mother-Wives: The Untold Truth | Ep. 70
    May 29 2025

    Send us a text

    On this week's Cup of Conversation, we're diving deep into one of the most heated relationship dynamics out there: men who prioritize their mothers over their partners — the so-called "mama’s boys."

    We unpack the emotional ties, boundaries (or lack thereof), and the long-term impact this can have on romantic relationships. But we don’t stop there. We're also calling out the flip side — women who raise their sons as emotional stand-ins for absent or disappointing men, blurring the lines between parenting and partnership.

    This is a conversation about emotional enmeshment, unhealthy bonds, and the generational cycles that often go unchallenged.

    Is it love or is it dysfunction?
    Where’s the line between respect and emotional dependency?

  • Episode 69: The Never-Ending To-Do List of Life
    May 22 2025

    Send us a text

    We explore the difference between the entrepreneurial mindset and the more structured, traditional path of school and corporate life. While one thrives on innovation and risk, the other finds security in a mapped-out journey. But here’s the twist: both sides feel the pressure.

    Whether you're building your own lane or climbing the corporate ladder, the "what's next?" mindset can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a nonstop hustle that keeps us from truly being present.

    Tune in as we unpack how this drive for more can be both a blessing and a burden — and how we might learn to pause, reflect, and actually live in the moment.
