I've always wondered why we aren't more open about the experiences all humans have. Death is scary to me and I would like it to be less scary, which is why I wanted to have an episode about this. Don't let the title scare you away! Healing can be found in this episode.

Kristen Elliot, and End of Life Doula, gives new perspective and works to normalize death and dying and provides context to an important part of life!

I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately, I think that always kinda happens around this time of year, and being 29, I've been thinking a lot about turning 30. I want to leave my twenties feeling good. I want to close out the decade feeling REALLY GOOD. I want to have less coping mechanisms and I want to improve my overall well-being. In this episode, I'm talking about a few things I really want to change or implement in my life and how I've noticed I'm keeping myself comfortable and stagnant.

Really It's word vomit of what I've been thinking about lately and a declaration that I want to do better at some things.

Perfectionism is annoying -- it's not attainable, and it can really hold us back from making any kind of real progress. Logically, we know this. But that doesn't make it any easier to overcome. We have Lauren Ruth Martin with us this week, a therapist, speaker and podcaster who breaks down the different ways perfectionism shows up in our lives, what fuels a perfectionist mindset, and how we can start to separate ourselves from the idea that we must be perfect.

What's your trauma? Like, we all have SOME form of trauma or mental block that might be holding us back, and this week's episode is equal parts personal story and practical tools that can help us process tough emotions and blockers we need to move through. Our guest this week, Ashley Holt, talks through her childhood and experience navigating divorce as an adult that lead her to tools like positive affirmations, EFT (emotion-focused therapy) and NLP (neurolinguistic programming). Ashley is candid and honest about her journey and you know we love the HonesTea around here!

I said I would only do solo episodes it felt right, and it's feeling right! Obviously, I talk about mental health a lot on the show, but I haven't walked through my story in detail or really explained why I'm so passionate and curious about different modalities to improve mental health. In this episode, I'm filling you in on my experience, which again feels a little vulnerable but I think there is value in sharing a personal experience, and we definitely don't need to be judging each other's experience with mental health.

I'm also answering some of your questions on confidence, relationship conflict, and more more more!

And let me know if you enjoy solo's! If you don't, check out one of the other episodes the feature amazing guests.

India Oxenburg was a member of NXIVM, a cult hiding behind the facade of personal development courses and community. Her story is one of humility, strength, and resilience. In this episode, I get pretty candid about my experience in yoga teacher training with a leader who I felt was on the road to being a cult leader (but not very good at it, thankfully), India recognized several parallels to the language and manipulation that was used in NXIVM. While India's story is extreme, mine is likely not too uncommon in the wellness industry. In this episode, we point out scenarios that aren't quite right, and what to look out for when considering getting involved in any wellness organization.

The What Day Is It podcast has been a constant in my podcast rotation for over a year now because I love how they mix pop culture topics with candid conversations about mental health and real-life stuff. They're both such great models for how to have meaningful conversations with friends without taking everything so seriously.

Jacci and Bailey are co-hosts of the What Day is It podcast, content creators, and entrepreneurial queens. In this episode, we talk about building confidence, cancel culture, the influencer industry, boundaries with work, and completely expose our weekly screen time (yikes).

I reached my peak stress level and completely burnt myself out earlier this year so I was drawn to Elisabeth's work which helps people regulate their Central Nervous Systems and actually prevent burnout. I knew I didn't handle my stress in the best way and was looking for how I could keep myself from shutting down if I'm starting to feel burnout coming.

Elisabeth is the owner of Brain-Based Wellness and teaches us quick exercises we can do in stressful situations to self-regulate and how self-regulation of our Central Nervous Systems can help manage long-term stress and burnout cycles.

26 | Suprise! It's another solo episode from yours truly. It's short, but I wanted to talk through why I'm deciding to break The Tea, Please into seasons. And why I'm deciding to wrap up seaon 1 right now! I'm talking honestly about my experience with burn out and mental health struggles, and how to keep going when I don't really feel like I'm wired the way the world wants me to be.

I don't hope you can relate, but if you do (we got this.)

Check back on August 16th, 2021 for season 2 premier : )
