Coffee & ConversationsReflection & Gratitude with Jana AngelCoffee & Conversations is a WBTV original series created as a space for meaningful connection with people who made bold choices to build lives they truly wanted to live. Throughout the first season, those choices often meant taking risks, betting on themselves, and embracing uncertainty, and every conversation became a moment of growth and learning for me as the host. At the end of each episode, I ask one simple question, “What fills your cup?” In this special reflection, we revisit those answers and the powerful perspectives that shaped season one.
