Where It All Begins

The first season of I Drink My Coffee Black and My Whiskey Neat sets the tone for everything that follows.
It’s raw, reflective, and personal — built from the kinds of conversations you’d have alone at the kitchen table, or with someone you trust after hours.

From quiet mornings over strong coffee…
to late nights when the whiskey speaks first, these episodes explore the mess and meaning of being human.
We talk about beginnings and endings, invisible battles, the weight we carry, and the wonder we almost miss.

This season is an invitation to sit down, pour something honest, and stay a while.
No script. No filter. No chaser.

One last pour, for the parts of us we’ve finally decided to say out loud.

Beating Shame: How I Survived What I Never Talked About

This pour doesn’t always land just right — but it’s honest.
Spilled truth. Bruised survival. Shaky hands that still try to hold on.
