This week, we’re celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week by welcoming a very special guest… Sydney! She’s a college student, student teacher, former athlete, active sorority member, and one of the most passionate future educators we know. Marissa and Arika sit down with Sydney to talk about her path into teaching, how her mom inspired her career choice, and what it’s really like substitute teaching at her childhood school.

From growing up as a competitive athlete to joining Greek life and staying grounded in her Christian faith, Sydney shares how each experience has shaped her into the person she is today. The conversation covers everything from her biggest college lessons to her hopes for the future (and yes, her go-to school supply and coffee order make the cut).

Be sure to watch on Spotify or YouTube to see the faces behind the voices and don’t forget to share this episode with a teacher who’s made a difference in your life.

In this episode of We Run on Coffee, Marissa and Arika dive into the fascinating world of tarot. From its origins as a 15th-century card game to its modern-day use for self-reflection and guidance, they explore how tarot has evolved and how it’s used today. Whether you’re a skeptic or a seasoned reader, this episode breaks down the structure of tarot decks, explains the difference between major and minor arcana, and highlights the symbolism behind the cards.

They also share their own birth card readings—spoiler: Marissa got The Devil and The Lovers, and she’s not mad about it. Arika, on the other hand, was drawn to both Justice and The High Priestess. They’ll also teach you how to find your own birth cards! Plus, they walk through tarot exercises from journaling to affirmations, and Marissa leads a live three-card reading to demonstrate how it all comes together.

Tune in on Spotify or YouTube to see the visuals and follow along with the cards—they’re serving both knowledge and looks this week.
