☕ SPILL THE TEA WITH D & E

Episode Title: What You Think About Me Is None of My Business

How much of your energy is spent wondering what other people think about you?

Did I say too much?

Did I say too little?

Are they mad?

Was that text… weird?

In this gentle and funny episode, Dominique and Erica pour the kind of tea that soothes anxious minds and tired hearts. We talk about the exhausting habit of mind-reading, emotional over-responsibility, and why trying to manage other people’s thoughts is a full-time job you were never hired for.

Inspired by one of the best pieces of therapy advice ever given, this episode is your permission slip to:

Because here’s the truth that sets you free:

What someone thinks about you is none of your business.

Pour a cup. Exhale. This one lands softly… and sticks.

📱 

If they have something to say to you, they will.

If they don’t… that silence belongs to them, not you.

Repeat after us:

✨ What you think about me is none of my business. ✨

Today’s tea is for everyone who’s tired of running imaginary conversations in their head. ☕💭

🎧 This is tender tea. Not scorched. Not spilled to shame. Gently steeped.

In this episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Earth Mama Dominique and longtime sports coach Erica slow the conversation way down to explore the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling with nuance, compassion, and care. They unpack what was actually said, what was misunderstood, and how complex conversations about women’s safety, biological sex, transgender dignity, and child development were flattened into outrage soundbites.

This episode is not about canceling or defending personalities. It’s about holding two truths at once: honoring transgender lives and lived experiences while also protecting women’s sex-based rights, children’s developmental timing, and parents’ voices. With a nervous-system-aware lens, Dominique and Erica talk about why timing, context, and compassion matter, especially when children are involved.

Warm, grounded, and deeply human, this is an invitation to listen more, shout less, and remember that nuance is not cruelty and boundaries are not violence.

✍️ 

Holding two truths with compassion: honoring transgender dignity while protecting women, children, and thoughtful conversation. ☕🫖

Spill the Tea with D & E

Episode Title: Worth a Penny: What We Lose When We Stop Paying Attention

This is rich tea. Copper-toned, pocket-worn, history-heavy tea. ☕🪙

In this 20-minute Spill the Tea with D & E episode, Dominique and Erica pour an homage to the humble penny and ask a bigger question hiding in plain sight: What happens to a culture when it stops honoring small worth?

From Lincoln’s quiet integrity to grandmothers saving coins with care, from locker rooms to sidewalks, this episode traces how the penny became an American metaphor for patience, humility, and human-scale value. As the U.S. stops minting pennies, we explore why inconvenience is now treated as a flaw, why speed keeps winning over meaning, and how rounding up always favors power.

This episode is reflective, funny, and deeply human. It’s about money, yes, but more about elders, kids, teachers, volunteers, late bloomers, and all the quiet forces that hold things together without asking for applause.

Pour a cup. Slow down. Don’t round this one away.

☕ 

The penny didn’t disappear because it had no value.

It disappeared because it asked us to slow down.

Copper tea for a culture that’s forgotten how much the small things carry. ☕🪙✨

We think misunderstandings come from bad intentions.

Most of the time, they come from unmet needs.

In this tender episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica explore the everyday ways we misread each other—and how much pain could be softened if we paused before assuming.

From the over-explainer who’s just trying to feel safe, to the quiet one who learned that speaking up didn’t help, to the joker using humor as armor—we unpack the hidden stories beneath common behaviors.

This is not about fixing people.

It’s about understanding them.

Because when we respond with patience instead of judgment, we don’t just calm the moment—we heal something old.

Pour a cup, slow down, and listen for what’s underneath. 🍯🫖

☕ Most people aren’t trying to be difficult.

They’re trying to feel safe with the tools they were given.

This episode is a gentle reminder to pause before assuming, listen before labeling, and remember that every habit was once a solution.

Tender tea. Big heart. 🍵💛

🎧 Youth sports have quietly transformed into a $40 billion private-equity playground, and parents are paying the price. In this powerful episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Earth-mama Dominique and 28-year basketball coach Erica unpack how Wall Street style investors are rolling up leagues, monetizing childhood, and turning a public good into a profit machine.

We break down the scholarship myth, the burnout epidemic, privatization of school sports, and the real steps parents can take right now to protect their kids, their wallets, and their sanity. This is a must-listen for parents, coaches, educators, and anyone who believes sports should build kids… not break them.

📣 

Youth sports didn’t get “more competitive.”

They got financialized.

If you’ve ever wondered why fees keep rising, joy keeps shrinking, and your kid feels exhausted before high school… this episode is for you. 🎧🍵

In this episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica trace the forgotten history of cooking fats—from the hearth kitchens of the 1800s to the rise of industrial seed oils—and ask a question no one seems to be asking:

What if the modern chronic disease epidemic didn’t come from tradition… but from replacing it?

We unpack how Crisco, wartime rationing, aggressive advertising, and government dietary guidelines quietly rewired the American kitchen. How animal fats were labeled “dangerous,” while ultra-processed seed oils became the norm. And how that 110-year shift parallels a shocking rise in obesity, metabolic disease, and inflammation.

This isn’t nostalgia.

It’s food history, marketing psychology, and cultural memory colliding.

If you’ve ever wondered why your grandmother cooked in butter—and why everything today comes sizzling in vegetable oil—this episode is for you.

☕ Tea is poured.

🔥 Myths are melted.

🧠 History does the talking.

We didn’t stop cooking in butter because it failed us.

We stopped because we were sold something “new.”

From hearth fires to hydrogenated oils, this episode traces the quiet 110-year shift that rewrote our kitchens—and our health.

Your great-grandmother wasn’t confused.

She just wasn’t marketed to. ☕🔥
