Welcome to the coffee table at Theo’s Coffee Break — a podcast where meaningful stories, soulful reflection, and real connection are always on the menu. ☕

In this early episode of Season One, we explore the history of the classic coffee break—from its roots in labor rights and community practices to what it means in our lives today, and here at Theo's coffee table. You’ll also get a glimpse into the heart behind this podcast: creating a space where conversation is valued, connection is healing, and no one has to sit alone.

This episode was recorded in the midst of deep transformation—a leap of faith in motion, from working a 9-to-5 to making a total career pivot into entrepreneurship. So whether you’re on a walk, driving to work, or curled up with your favorite drink, pull up a seat. You’re always welcome at Theo's coffee table.

Before any stories are told, before any coffee is poured — lets get centered and grounded in sound.

This is the official theme song of Theo’s Coffee Break, composed with deep presence and love by me, Shin Hoo Yong aka Theodore B., and my partner, Chris Cutting. We crafted this piece using organic, everyday elements from our very real creative life — the wind chime from our patio, the rhythmic snoring of our dog Django, and the warm hiss of our espresso maker brewing a fresh cup of coffee as morning birds welcome us with a new day in our backyard.

Every sound was chosen and calculated with intention — even the wind chimes were recorded and reshaped to echo the calm between conversations over our coffee table. Blended with ambient piano and gentle synth textures, this song was designed to center you to bring you to the present with the intention to create space for reflection, connection, and calm curiosity.

This isn’t just theme music — it’s the heartbeat of Theo's coffee table.

Grab your mug. Breathe in. Hit play.
