Inspired By the 90s is the podcast for millennials who grew up on dial-up internet, Destiny’s Child, and “be home before the street lights come on” — and are now navigating adulthood, relationships, healing, and rediscovering who they really are.
Hosted by Kristin Marie and Brandon Reed (Cartoon Connect), this show dives into the music, moments, and memories that shaped us — and the real-life lessons we’re unpacking now. From childhood dreams and cultural shifts to trauma responses disguised as personality traits, nothing is off limits.
Because sometimes finding yourself in your 30s means getting back to who you were in the 90s.
New episodes weekly.

We Had NO Business Watching This as Kids 😂 | 90s Movies & Music
We REALLY had no business listening to some of these songs or watching some of these movies as kids. 😂😭 On this episode of Inspired By the 90’s Podcast, we’re taking it ALL the way back and talking about the music, movies, and moments from the 90s that had us feeling grown before we even knew what grown meant.

Why is Everyone's Obsessed With 90s Nostalgia
This week on Inspired by the 90s, we’re taking a hilarious trip back to one of the most chaotic — and character-building — childhood eras ever. We’re talking about the things today’s kids would NEVER survive: staying outside all day without checking in, drinking from the hose, prank calls, no Apple Pay, no participation trophies, and being forced to watch Maury or Jerry Springer when you stayed home from school. We also unpack how parenting has changed since the 90s — from emotional awareness...

Adult Stress vs Childhood Dreams
You ever feel like you’ve been in survival mode so long you forgot what thriving feels like? In our first episode, we dig into who we were before adulthood — before trauma, before expectations, before the grind. We talk about how we’ve supported each other for years without ever building together — and why this podcast is happening right now. We laugh. We get honest. We play “90s Kid or Trauma Response?” And we ask the question our younger selves might be thinking: “Is this who we s...
