Answer this week's question...
Are you TEAM hide & ignore it or TEAM tell the truth?
Not every collab is meant to last. And that’s okay. 💔
Let’s be real—sometimes a business collaboration just isn’t the vibe you thought it would be. Whether it’s a social media series or brand partnership, you had high hopes. Matching energy. Maybe even a shared Canva folder. But somewhere along the way you realize… this isn’t working.
In this episode of Coffee Social, we’re talking about the awkward, uncomfortable, but completely necessary art of ending a collaboration gracefully (and professionally).
If you’ve been feeling stuck, stressed, or guilty about wanting to pull the plug on a collab—you’re not alone. Mimi opens up about the internal panic she feels when ending partnerships, while Jonathan brings his signature bluntness (and some very needed tough love 💥).
You don’t have to ghost, lie, or over-explain. You just need honesty, boundaries, and a little courage.
Pour yourself a strong brew—it’s time for the breakup talk.
