Disrupt & Discuss Podcast
Welcome to Disrupt & Discuss w/E & KayCee! We’re two Bay Area natives tackling real-life topics with humor, honesty, and heart. After health scares and a pandemic wake-up call, we’ve prioritized wellness for ourselves and our families—and now, we’re sharing that journey with you. Join us for open, conversational episodes where we explore life, health, and modern challenges. From funny (like poop talk 💩) to serious (Black health and toxic work culture), we cover it all. E is the creator behind ItsJust ETv (a Beshea Ventures Production), bringing her lively energy from YouTube live streams. KayCee, founder of The Fitness Collectif and supplement line MyHerba, brings her entrepreneurial wellness expertise. Subscribe for weekly episodes that make you laugh, think, and inspire your own journey to wellness.
