A podcast about waking up, together
Coffee mug and teacup with rising steam, the Coffee, Tea & Consciousness mark

Coffee, Tea& Consciousness

Two lifelong friends, one in Michigan and one in Georgia, talking honestly about spirituality, healing, beliefs, and what it actually takes to live a little more awake.

— new episodes every Tuesday —

The hosts

Two friends, no script

This isn't a produced interview show. It's the conversation two old friends would have anyway — just recorded.

Creative lead

Anne

Georgia

Anne drives where each episode goes — unfiltered, curious, and always willing to follow a thought wherever it leads. The show's tone starts with her.

Co-host

Mel

Michigan

Mel shows up to add, build, and riff — happy to let Anne steer while she brings her own perspective to the table, no need to control the direction.

Two coasts of the same country, one long-running friendship, and a shared curiosity about spirituality, awakening, and what it means to actually pay attention to your own life.
