Hello Bes-tea!

 @HelloBesteaPodcast

Cue the confetti and air horns bes-teas! Drum roll please….welcome to the Hello Bes-tea Book Club!! We are beyond excited to start our book chats and can’t wait to discuss The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. 

A fantasy novel published in 2020, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue shares the story of a young French woman named Adeline who desperately wants to live life on her own terms; as opposed to conforming to the traditional life of a woman in the 1700s. Addie makes a deal with a God of darkness and is granted immortality, with one HUGE catch: no one she meets can remember her. She lives many years learning to accept her curse, until one day, a fateful meeting changes everything. 

Grab a glass of wine and a cozy blanket, because we are going all in on this one bes-teas! Tell us your thoughts on this book and what you are reading at [email protected].

@HelloBesteaPodcast 

Welcome back bes-teas! This week we are hanging out on the couch spilling our tea once again and sharing two Reddit threads. In tea for the week, find out how Tashima has resumed working towards one of her goals for the year and get a quick update from Maggie on her journaling journey.

-----------------------------

The first Reddit thread is from the AITAH group on Reddit, and it is written by a young man in his early twenties who felt disappointed in his girlfriend’s birthday “gift” to him. What is the most unthoughtful gift you’ve ever received? https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1eyn6qo/aita_for_not_being_thrilled_about_my_girlfriends/

--------------------------------------------

The second Reddit thread is written from a woman who has been having issues with her neighbor, and wants to report them to the HOA for a violation. Are you in favor of or opposed to HOAs?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AITH/comments/1eynw38/aitah_for_turning_my_neighbors_in/?share_id=m_bwxwO68RipV0He71Mve&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_source=share&utm_term=22

Your favorite bes-teas are back this week discussing a couple of Reddit threads and sharing our thoughts. In tea for the week, get a first hand account of what it’s like to meditate with children. Spoiler: it’s not as stressful as you might think! Also, if you are tired of looking at messy kids’ rooms then you might try a different technique as recommended by Kendra Adachi from The Lazy Genius Podcast. Link to that is below. 

The first Reddit thread is written from a man in his early twenties who was given an ultimatum by his new girlfriend: Marry me within 9 months, or it’s over! The next thread is about a man who wonders if he is wrong for excluding his ex-wife from a trip to Disney World with their two sons, which leads to a candid discussion about co parenting. Be sure to stick around for a game of Bad Opinions. Let us know your thoughts on these Reddit stories at [email protected].

Hey Besteas due to technical difficulties (a hard drive crash 😤) this week will be audio only. Thanks for understanding and sticking with us. 

-xOXo Besteas 

This week your bes-teas have some exciting news! Drumroll please… we are starting a book club! Beginning in September, we will host a book club chat the final week of the month to give you (and us) a chance to read the book of the month. Our inaugural book club episode will be a discussion about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Be sure to pick this one up via your library or an audiobook. 

Two of the Reddit threads today are about cheating in marriage. One is from a mother who is conflicted about taking in her daughter who was caught cheating on her husband, and another from a woman who wants to divorce her husband for confessing to a one night stand. We also read a story about a man who allowed his ex-wife and her new child into his home while hosting a dinner party; much to the dismay of his new wife and sister in law. 

Let us know your thoughts on these Reddit stories at [email protected]!

In this week’s episode, we spill our personal tea along with a few Reddit threads that beg the question: Is it that serious? For tea time, we each share our experience learning new languages using the Duolingo app. If you want to learn German or learn Spanish, Duolingo may be a good place to start your language lessons. Also in tea for the week - if you have not traveled to a new city before on a solo trip, you most definitely should! Washington D.C. is a safe place for solo female travel, and you will learn so much about American history!

Today we share three Reddit threads, two are from the AITA group and one is from the Advice Needed group. Do you think it’s wrong for a husband to not be happy to see his wife in traffic? Is it a big deal if he ignores her? In the next thread we discuss whether or not we would want to know if there is an explicit video of us online, and how we would want our significant other to handle it. Would you be upset with your spouse if you found out that they had surgery without telling you? Do you think that medical history should be shared in a relationship, or kept private? Be sure to stick around for a game of Hot Takes and let us know your thoughts on these threads at [email protected].
