Do you feel that people hate on you when they give you a bit of direction or corrective criticism? Does everyone fall into the hating category or is there some truth to the given advice? Everyone indeed is not a hater. Some people, even strangers truly just want to see you do better or just simply see you win. Discern whose in your corner and do not take stock in those that are not.

Hey friends, we are back with Season 2 of the Truth & Coffee Time Podcast!! We are still learning but, also still enjoying the journey. We are back with Episode 13, Our Covid Scare and What We Learned. This episode is pretty heavy, as we kick off Season 2. But we wanted to share our covid experience with you, as well as share some important facts that we learned through this scare, along the way. Join us!

Hey friends, it’s “The Wrap Up 1”! We made it! Season 1 of the Truth & Coffee Time Podcast, is in the books! Yes! We made it past the point that most podcasts don't, per statistics. We are so grateful we stayed the course, so we are celebrating this season wrap-up with our son and engineer, Brigz Crawford. This wrap-up gets deep as topics are unwrapped and a few times sh*t really hits the fan! Rock with us for, Episode 12, as we travel down Seasons 1 memory lane!

In this impromptu episode, entitled, Father & Son, shooting the sh*t, Brian Sr. and Brian Jr. jump into any and every topic that comes to mind. While Denise is out, Brian Jr. aka Brigz Crawford fills in, and let’s just say, “get ready, get ready, get ready”! This is father and son doing what they do best….shoot the sh*t! This episode catches you raw and uncut!

In this episode, we tackle the topic around the traditions of making New Year’s resolutions versus simply setting goals and putting a plan in place. We definitely don’t knock people setting New Year’s resolutions because we understand that everyone needs a starting place. But why not start right where you are? Every day can be your New Year or new start! Let’s go!

Yes! It’s the holidays, and in this episode we are discussing the good, the bad, and all there is in between. It’s, Holiday Bells or Holiday Hells and we are digging into our different family traditions, the fun of spending time with family, as well as the stress of seeing some of those same family members. Also, ummmm, is there a Santa?!

Hey friends! In this episode, we are the guests on an amazing podcast, The Interracial Perspective: Maturity Not Included Podcast, with Ellceey and Erron. These beautiful podcast hosts invited us to be their special guests, which made this our very first podcast interview opportunity. They made us feel right at home and very comfortable, as we chopped it up about life, marriage, military, society, and culture.

In this episode, To “V” or not to “V”; that is the question! We discuss how we feel about the controversy around choosing to receive the covid vaccination or not. We both believe that everyone should want to be vaccinated - but also believe in the right to choose. However, our opinion splits on some of the rules governing dining and/or restaurants.

In this episode, we dive deep, to discuss a very courageous topic, Her Plight, His Privilege. In an interracial marriage where both cultures collide and both white and black are represented, there are tons of stories just like this one that shares experiences around the plight of a black woman and the privilege of a white man.

Have you ever been told that you articulate well for a black person? Or, you are white but, you sound black! What does sounding like a color, really look like? Everyone has their own sound, beautiful and unique, because, “We Talk Like We Talk”!

In this episode, we also continue our discussion of how we continued to gird up and stick together through trying times. We share a bit of the period in which we found ourselves homeless but, how we humbly made it an adventure for our kids. We did everything we could to protect our family. We ensured we stood strong and did not break under the pressures of life.

Yep! That is the title of this episode, Who Sh*t in the Coatroom! In this episode, we discuss toxic behavior from toxic people. The behavior can sometimes catch you off guard as it spews from some family, friends, or colleagues.
