98: Where have we been?

About this episode

Britt and Whit discuss their hiatus from podcasting, the challenges they faced, and their return to the show.

This week on Real Sht with Brit & Whit*, we’re pulling back the curtain and getting really honest. If you’ve been wondering where the heck we’ve been… same. In this episode, it’s just the two of us—no guests, no script, just the truth. We talk about why we stopped podcasting, what was happening behind the scenes, and how close we actually came to calling it quits. (Spoiler: VERY close.) We get into: • The burnout that hit harder than we expected • The awkward “are we breaking up?” conversations • Why Britt almost started a brand-new podcast with someone else • The moment we realized this show still matters—and so do YOU If you’ve ever hit a wall, questioned everything, or considered starting over, this episode is your reminder that it’s okay to pause… and even better to come back stronger. Authentic, messy, and a little emotional—this one’s for anyone who loves a good comeback story.
