We've all seen the cozy cafes on the internet, the latte art etc, but what happens when you actually follow the trend of opening a cafe and it nearly breaks you?

In this episode of URL vs IRL, I sit down with Lauren and Ryan, the married duo behind Evermore, one of the most beloved cafés in Burlington. We talk about starting a business with zero barista experience, surviving the pandemic, working 7 days a week for years, and yes—catching customers cheating in their café… Sheesh

If you’ve ever said “I want to open a cute coffee shop,” this one’s for you.

Better late than never !

Todays episode is a big one even though its short form.

In this episode your host bri dives deeper on her life offline journey and decides to take a big step with the podcast and move to biweekly episodes. But don't worry! it's not you... it's me. This is going to be a better chapter that will give her more time to live life and pour her creative soul into this passion project without being burnt out . Hoping that every supporter here is understanding and loving and loyal enough to stick and stay .Thank you all so much for your support over this first year of podcasting . It has truly been a pleasure.

xoxo bri

See you on the 17!!

What actually happens when you log off for real? In this episode, your host Bri gets brutally honest about deactivating her social media—no vague “taking a break” notes, no dramatic goodbye posts, just the messy truth. From phantom-scroll withdrawals to the weird freedom of disappearing from the feed, she unpacks what life really looks like offline. Is it peaceful? Is it lonely? Is it a rebrand or a breakdown? Let’s talk about how social media shapes our identity, relationships, and what happens when you finally hit “deactivate.”
