Upcoming Episode
In this episode of, we talk about something that will never be irrelevant— climate change, not in the usual way people discusses about it, but more importantly, how it makes us feel.

Upcoming Episode
Let's unpack together the phrase we’ve all heard a million times — “fake it ’til you make it.”
Where’s the line between faking it for motivation and truly losing yourself ? Join us as we explore what it really means to “make it” 💯
Upcoming Episode
Change isn’t supposed to feel easy, it’s messy, and downright uncomfortable. But that’s where the real transformation happens.
Because growing isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about trusting the process, trusting yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable 😮💨
A Note from the Hosts
A big motivation behind this podcast comes from something simple: that feeling you get when you walk into a coffee shop. The warmth, the hum of quiet chatter, the way conversations just… flow. Every time I sat down with a cup of coffee, I found myself completely immersed—drawn into stories, laughter, and those rare, unfiltered moments of connection.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that’s the real magic of coffee. It’s not just a drink, it’s a catalyst for conversation, a bridge between people, and sometimes, the spark for new ideas.
That’s what inspired Teens & Beans. This podcast is a space to share that same energy, a place to to slow down, talk, and discover how much we can learn from one another.
Because all it really takes to start a meaningful conversation is a simple cup of coffee.
