welcome to brb crying
a comedy podcast where two 30-something teenagers talk about what made them cry
hi! we’re nins (angela non) & arns (ariana kempis).
we’ve been best friends for nearly 25 years and have a tendency to laugh a little too hard at our own jokes. we also cry…like, a lot.

we used to save our tears for the privacy of our own homes. but as we trudged along our own healing journeys, we realized how much shame we still carried around being vulnerable in front of others. how much we subconsciously dismissed crying as a sign of weakness.
so, we decided to change that notion, starting with ourselves. and what better way than by sobbing on air every week?
we’d always joked about starting a crying podcast, but for the first time ever, it felt concrete. weighty. like we could really make an impact.
not only because we’re incredibly hilarious, beautiful, and intelligent (yes, it *is* possible to be all 3!!!), but because we needed to show the world that it’s okay to cry. that releasing our shame around crying can bring us closer than we ever thought possible—to ourselves and each other.
we hope you give our pod a listen. maybe you’ll cry, ideally you’ll laugh…but above all, we hope you feel safe to feel your feelings. you and your tears are always welcome here.
until then…brb crying :’)
