Tea with a Taurus

Today’s tea? It’s hot and emotionally devastating — just like the series we’re talking about. In this episode of Spilling the Tea, I’m diving into the announcement that Kate Stewart’s Ravenhood trilogy is officially being adapted for film — and as someone who just finished the series, I have thoughts.

We’ll chat about:

✨ What makes The Ravenhood such an unforgettable read 🎥 What we know about the adaptation (yes, Kate Stewart is involved!)

🌲 My personal connection — I live near the very North Carolina mountains where this story is set

🫖 Journal prompt + tea pairing (because healing matters)

🎭 Fan theories, dream casting, and why we’re so protective of this story This series wrecked me in the best way, and I’m still trying to recover from Book 2 (don’t worry, no spoilers).

Grab your tea — or wine, I won’t judge — and let’s spill. 💔

Today’s reflection is a celebration of freedom—not just the kind written into laws, but the personal kind we create for ourselves. Sip on refreshing mint tea and settle into the affirmation: “Today, I celebrate my freedom to grow, to choose, and to live in alignment with who I truly am.” This is your gentle reminder that real freedom starts within, with the power to evolve, say no, take up space, and build a life that feels like home. Let’s reflect on where we feel most free, and where we’re ready to reclaim more of ourselves.

Today is a new beginning—and you get to decide how it unfolds. In this reflective episode, we sip on lemongrass tea and anchor into the affirmation: “Today is a brand new day that I will embrace as a new beginning and make the most of this day.” Whether you're starting fresh after a hard season or simply resetting your mindset, this is your gentle nudge to breathe, reflect, and begin again—with hope and intention. 🌿✨

What does it really mean to feel healthy—in your mind, your body, and your soul? Today’s affirmation is a gentle invitation to release perfection and reconnect with your own definition of wellness. With a soft cup of white tea and the affirmation “Today my mind is clear, my body is healthy, and my soul is at peace,” you’ll take a few minutes to breathe, reflect, and come home to yourself. 💛

In this episode of Spilling the Tea, we’re diving into a topic that’s both hilarious and heavy: Gen Z humor in the face of world crisis. From WWIII memes to TikToks about hiding from the draft, dark humor has become the generation’s signature coping style — but why?

We’ll explore:

Today’s affirmation is a boundary wrapped in kindness: “I don’t need to be everything to everyone.” If you’ve been stretching yourself too thin or saying yes when you meant no, this episode is a gentle invitation to reclaim your peace.
