in this very bittersweet solo episode, i reflect on the past few months of podcasting and talk about what i loved and hated! i also go through my service industry timeline from start to finish and rank each place i worked at + talk about 2025 being the worst year of my life lol. sadly, this episode concludes season 1 of club therapy although season 2 is coming soon :) Although this is not the end, this episode was so emotional to film because this podcast is so special to me and its been so amazing seeing it grow into what it is now. Thank you all for listening and follow @clubtherapypod on insta for updates on season 2! Xx- Emi

Leebs started his service industry experience as a barback at Cactus Club in Vancouver and through a lot of time, hard work and passion, has opened up Susies diner with some of his closest and oldest friends. We talk about doing what you love and loving what you do, the beauty of going into business with your best friends, the trap of the service industry, Emily's unfortunate highschool experiences, the Cactus Club cult, the restaurant hierarchy, paddle-boarding, being the best version of ourselves for our guests, the un-sexy sides of a restaurant, being beaten down as a barback and network in nightlife. We hope you enjoy (and ignore the bad mic quality hehe)!
