Can a vegan diet fuel an NFL career? Today on Tea with Tamela, I’m sitting down with Derrick Morgan — former NFL linebacker for the Tennessee Titans, entrepreneur, husband, father, and passionate advocate for health and wellness.Derrick spent nine seasons in the NFL, where discipline, performance, and taking care of his body were essential both on and off the field. But his approach to health and nutrition began to shift when his wife, Charity Morgan, a professionally trained chef, introduced him to a plant-based lifestyle.What started as a personal journey quickly grew into something much bigger. Derrick’s decision to embrace plant-based eating sparked curiosity among his Tennessee Titans teammates, eventually inspiring several players in the locker room to make the switch as well. Together, Derrick and Charity helped create a movement centered around using food as a tool to support performance, recovery, reduce inflammation, and fuel the body at the highest level.Today, Derrick and Charity continue their mission through The Pro2col, a one-stop destination designed to help individuals optimize their health, longevity, and overall wellness through intentional nutrition and lifestyle choices.I loved this conversation because it’s a reminder that health is about so much more than a trend or a label — it’s about making choices that allow us to show up fully for our families, our passions, and our purpose.Follow Derrick Morgan:@dmorg91

After six babies, I thought I knew what postpartum recovery looked like. But after the surprise arrival of baby number six—my hardest postpartum experience yet—I realized there was so much more to healing than I had ever been told.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with the incredible women who completely transformed my postpartum journey— joining me is Dr. Audra Lance, founder of Lumara in Nashville, whose innovative approach to neurology, movement, and whole-body healing has helped everyone from professional athletes to expectant mothers perform and recover at their best. Also joining us is Hellen Marler, a Nashville-based massage therapist whose holistic, faith-centered approach to healing has been such a gift throughout my recovery. And rounding out the conversation is Brittany Anderson, an integrative women's health nurse practitioner, functional medicine consultant, birth doula, and women's wellness expert who is passionate about supporting women from preconception through postpartum.

Together, we're having a very honest conversation about what postpartum recovery can—and should—look like. We discuss healing beyond the six-week checkup, rebuilding your body from the inside out, pelvic health, hormones, nervous system regulation, functional medicine, and why every mom deserves to feel supported during one of the most transformative seasons of her life.

Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or years beyond having babies and still dealing with lingering symptoms, this conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and encouragement. I can't wait for you to meet the women who helped change my life and discover how they might change yours, too!

What does it really take to achieve your biggest dreams? Is it talent, timing, or something more?

In this episode of Tea with Tamela, I'm sitting down with my husband, Demario Davis, to share the philosophy that has shaped our lives, marriage, careers, and the mission behind the Devoted Dreamers Foundation: Dream Big. Devote Everything.

Together, we discuss why having a dream is only the beginning and why true success requires discipline, sacrifice, resilience, and a willingness to keep going even when the road gets difficult. We open up about the lessons we've learned while pursuing our dreams, navigating setbacks, embracing mistakes as opportunities for growth, and staying committed to our purpose through every season.

We also talk about the impact of social media on our mindset, the importance of delayed gratification, the difference between being goal-oriented and purpose-driven, and why it's so important to be intentional about who you trust with your dreams.

Whether you're pursuing a new opportunity, stepping into a new season, or simply looking for encouragement to keep moving forward, I hope this conversation reminds you that dreaming big is only the first step. The real transformation happens when you're willing to devote everything to the journey.

Grab your tea and join us for this honest conversation about purpose, perseverance, and what it truly takes to build a life you're proud of.

In this deeply personal episode of Tea with Tamela, Tamela sits down with her daughter, Carly-Faith, and husband, Demario, for a conversation filled with faith, resilience, laughter, and hope.

Together, they open up about Carly-Faith’s journey through retinoblastoma, a rare childhood eye cancer that changed their family's life forever. Demario shares the emotional reality of receiving the diagnosis, the difficult decisions that followed, and how their faith in God carried them through one of the hardest seasons they’ve ever faced. The family also discusses Carly-Faith’s more recent journey with epilepsy and the ongoing challenges of navigating life with courage and grace.

But this episode is about so much more than hardship. Carly-Faith shares her heart for helping children in hospitals, her unwavering faith in Jesus, and her determination to never let her circumstances define her. Through her wisdom, joy, and infectious personality, she reminds us all what it means to live with hope.

Plus, stick around for some fun rapid-fire questions, favorite family memories, daddy-daughter date stories, football game snacks, and plenty of laughter along the way.

This is a conversation about trusting God in the unknown, finding strength in every season, and seeing the beauty that can come from even life's most difficult moments.

In this episode, we're talking about finding and creating a home that truly works for your family. As a family that has moved several times throughout Demario's NFL career, we've learned a lot about navigating transitions, adapting to new places, and creating spaces that feel like home.

To help unpack this topic, I invited three incredible women from my "dream team" to join the conversation: Terra Bell, Brittany Sircy, and Karon "Denise" Garner. Each of them has played an important role in helping our family find, design, and create homes we love.

Terra and Brittany are Nashville-based real estate experts who have helped countless executives, professional athletes, and their families navigate major transitions, build community, and find homes that fit their unique lifestyles. Denise is an Atlanta-based interior designer who has helped bring each of my homes to life over the years. She's become such a trusted voice in my life that I rarely make a design decision without her input.

Together, we discuss both the emotional and practical sides of creating a home—from finding the right house to designing a space that reflects your family's needs, values, and everyday life.

Tea with Tamela is back for Season 3!

And my husband, Demario Davis (linebacker for the New York Jets), returns to the show!

In this episode, we unpack the idea of ministry beyond what people traditionally expect. Many of us think of missionaries as those who travel to underserved or impoverished places to share the Gospel—but God’s calling is not limited to one setting or one image.

God has positioned us in a unique space: the NFL. A place where influence, success, and visibility are high—but so is the need for truth, purpose, and Jesus. We talk about how God uses this platform as our ministry field, allowing us to reach people we may have never otherwise encountered.

It’s not about fame or status—it’s about assignment. We believe that wherever God places you, there is a mission attached to it. Whether in sports, business, family life, or your everyday environment, you are called to be a light right where you are.

As people often watch our lives closely, we prayerfully use that visibility to point them back to Christ—boldly, but always in love. From conversations with athletes to moments in everyday life, ministry happens in ways many don’t always see.

We also talk about what it looks like to walk that out together as a family, serving God in both private and public spaces while staying grounded in faith.

As we begin Season 3, we are excited for all that’s ahead. New episodes of Tea with Tamela drop every Wednesday at 5:00 PM CST. Be sure to follow, subscribe, and share this episode with someone you love so you don’t miss what’s coming next! 🤎

In this special season finale of Tea with Tamela, the tables are turned! My husband, Demario Davis (linebacker for the New York Jets), steps into the interviewer’s chair for an intimate chance to interview me and give you a behind-the-scenes look at our lives. Together, we explore the deeper meaning of my brand, "The F Word"—Faith, Family, Food, and Football—and dive into the true purpose behind my comeback to podcasting. I also share the inspiration that birthed Tamela’s Tailgate Treats, revealing how a love for community and cooking has evolved into something much greater than just a hobby.

Beyond the spotlight, we pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to drive the engine of our household. I open up about the grit and grace required to manage our family life behind the scenes, ensuring the foundation is solid while supporting my husband’s career and our collective dreams. It is a raw and honest look at the roles we play to keep our world moving forward with intention and love.

We wrap up this conversation with a heartfelt love letter to New Orleans, reflecting on the city that has been our home for the past eight years. We honor the place that shaped our family’s journey before looking ahead to what God has in store next. This episode is a celebration of transition, legacy, and the beautiful, messy reality of living out your purpose with the people who matter most.

In this episode of Tea with Tamela, I sit down with Debbie Winans for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, and stepping into God’s calling—no matter the season.

Debbie shares what it was like growing up in the renowned Winans family, surrounded by music, legacy, and a life in the spotlight. From performing on Broadway to sharing the stage with Whitney Houston, she opens up about the highs of her early career and the unique pressures that came with it.

But in the midst of success, Debbie felt God leading her to step away from music—a decision that required deep faith, trust, and surrender. She reflects on that season of obedience, what it taught her, and how it shaped the woman she is today.

Now, years later, Debbie is stepping back onto the stage with a renewed sense of purpose and calling. We also dive into what it truly means to be a Proverbs 31 woman in today’s world—balancing faith, family, and purpose with grace and intention.

This conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and honest moments for anyone navigating change, trusting God’s timing, or rediscovering their purpose.
