  • 13: A Return to Why
    May 27 2025

    Ever stared at your shoes and questioned your entire morning routine? Same. In this episode of Second Cup Sessions, Calley and Kati dive into the chaos of long work days, caffeine experiments, and those foggy moments that signal something deeper—burnout.

    From mismatched shoes to sitting in the wrong seat of the car, we laugh through the signs of overwhelm and pivot into a meaningful conversation about what it really means to show up for your customers. We unpack the wisdom of Simon Sinek’s TED Talk, Start With Why, and explore how drifting from your core purpose can lead to a creative rut—and how reconnecting to it can bring you back to life (no energy drink required).

    Whether you're in the middle of a big move, running on fumes, or just wondering what the heck to post on Instagram, this one's for you.

We share our own crispy moments, play a round of Burnout Bingo, and get honest about what it means to run on empty as women, business owners, and humans. If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” through gritted teeth, this one’s for you.
