Tea With D

The reality is, social media is everyone’s highlight reel. We are showing our curated lives which often leads to comparison. Society has made us believe if we don’t have what the person we follow has, then we aren’t good enough. That simply isn’t REALITY, humans are multifaceted creatures and with that are their highs and lows. The highs are the ones we see in our feeds and the lows are the ones we ruminate on behind closed doors.

 Today’s episode is for the person who isn’t feeling enough because of the false competition they are creating in their minds with the people on their screens. I give perspective on how to help navigate this process and realize we are all human and we only show people what we want them to see. STOP comparing and start realizing that no one is perfect and your journey is unique and special just like YOU!

In today’s episode I talk about the 4 year anniversary of my fathers passing 9/14/2019. I always say grief is weird, hard to explain but those who understand know the feeling of loss. A feeling like someone special is missing the party and we are secretly hoping they walk through the door but subconsciously know that won’t ever happen.

Tea With D began because I needed a space to escape and express my emotions through a creative outlet. I rewind time and go back to that fateful day I received a call that would change the course of my life forever. The days leading up to the passing and the state of mind I was in. With a new perceptive 4 years later, a lot can change.

From the day he left this earth and how I’ve coped ever since. I touch on things that are rarely discussed in society in terms of death/loss. In the hopes that someone grieving can relate and not feel as alone. My hope is to remind people that everyone is going through something they don’t talk about, so be kind not only to others but yourself. 

Thank you Tealovers, your support and love means more to me then you will ever know!

Nothing changes unless we do. But PATIENCE is the key to success, often times we get discouraged that our manifestations are nowhere to be found. We get to the point where we want to give up because we think “what is the point”. 

But imagine if we kept pushing and pressed the gas a little harder so that one day we realize that we are living in the manifestation we dreamed of. Diane talks about her passed struggles and points in her life where she didn’t know if another door would open. 

If you are struggling to see the finish line and you feel like giving up, listen to today’s episode. It will give you perspective and the hope to realize that your dreams are just around the corner. You are the author of your story and you have the choice to write how the next chapter begins. 

DO NOT GIVE UP!

Everything happens for a reason and at the time it is supposed to.

Everything Happens For A Reason: NEVER give up

D is back with some more Tea, she discusses where she’s been and the transitional periods in her life. She touches on the difference between happiness and joy. 

Sometimes in order to find out whats meant for us we need to stop and take a step back. While finding gratitude and being at peace with where you are in your life. When we shed old parts of ourselves its uncomfortable, but realizing that this is where growth happens. Learn the leasson, appreciate what it has taught you and let it go. What is meant for you will always be yours. Enjoy Tealovers!
