Pull up a chair. Sip your Americano. And breathe.

Wait… What’s Next? is the podcast that feels like running into two friends at your favorite coffee spot, except the conversation goes places most people are too polished to go. We’re talking career pivots you didn’t plan, relationships that changed you, and the version of yourself you’re still figuring out, all with a cafecito in hand and zero judgment.
Hosted by Laura Alba, a Colombian-born marketing professional who built her life from scratch after moving to the U.S. at 15, and Amanda Brilhante, a former national news anchor turned event host, two women who’ve navigated more than a few “wait… what now?” moments of their own.
Every week, they pull up a seat either to talk through their own in-between moments or alongside guests who’ve shaped their paths through real transitions in career, relationships, health, and identity. They dare to have the honest conversations you wish someone had with you sooner, getting real without the filter.
Join us every week. New episodes drop on Thursdays.
Come for the deep talks, the occasional gossip, and the safe space where you’ll feel a sense of belonging and leave with a little more clarity, at the very least, in your heart.
Happy sips ☕

Consumerism’s Final Boss: The Algorithm Made Me Do It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it really mean to feel rich? Not the dollar-sign kind, but the soul kind.
The kind that sounds like belly laughs, morning sunlight, shared meals, and knowing you are already enough without needing anything extra to sponsor your happiness.
This week, we’re questioning the myth the world keeps selling us: that happiness lives in the next purchase, the next upgrade, the next shiny thing sitting in your Amazon cart. We talk about consumption culture, Black Friday madness, the influencer illusion, and how easy it is to believe you’re one “add-to-cart” away from fulfillment. Spoiler: you’re not.
Because happiness isn’t waiting for you on delivery day. It’s here, in the in-between. You can feel wealthy now, with what you already have and who you already are. No new sofa, face serum, or boyfriend required.
If you’ve ever bought something thinking it would fix the feeling
If you’ve ever compared your life to someone’s highlight reel
If you’ve ever wondered why “more” still doesn’t feel like enough
This conversation is going to feel like a slow exhale and a gentle reminder that joy is chosen, not shipped. Tap in and rethink what being rich really means.
