TEA of Life Podcast

I am hearing that for Thanksgiving, there are some places that aren't allowing people to gather in groups of more than 10 people.

A re you planning on following it, or are you gonna ignore it and do what you want to anyway? How does your Tha...

I first interviewed Allison Mackey back in episode #30, How to Pursue Your Writing Passions . In that pre...

We are currently in a state of shutdown due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, and a lot of you are fearful. Fear is paralyzing. There is no preparation in fear. Fear doesn't allow you to think properly or logically. Fear drives you to think about every possible scenario that could happen, or in your mind, will happen and doesn't allow you to think logically about how things will actually and ultimately...

According to some research, having an identity crisis can sometimes be considered a psychological issue. Some people can suffer from identity crises all of their life, while others may experience it periodically, and then others may begin to experience it at short times during their life when they are in situations that they allow to "define them." It's not the questioning that causes an identity...

We all want to feel known in a sense of having a deep connection with someone else or maybe even a group of someone else's. We all long for the security that we feel that it will bring to us. There is something about having a deep relationship with others by their physical presence that cannot be replaced with virtual reality. For some, we may have been told that we don't fit in, or maybe we have...

My husband and I have a lot of really great stories of living debt-free. It truly is a passion of ours that started when we became engaged in 1996. We decided that we didn't want to start a marriage with debt because we had seen the destruction that debt can cause in a marriage (and just in life in general), and we knew that we wanted no part of that. I can tell you that there is no faster way of...

Change is hard! SO! HARD! People can say that they like change, but not a lot of people like TO change, or, to be more exact...people don't like to BE changed. Some people do like to try to change us though, and I get into that a little bit on this episode as well. Sometimes change is necessary in order for things to be different. Albert Einstein said that "The definition of insanity is doing the...

We need to know that in order to get to where we want to be, we need to surround ourselves with people who are already there. We need to seek out and ask questions to those who have already achieved our desired status or who have achieved our desired position in society. Rayson Choo, host of the Raygacy show, recently posted that one of his listeners commented that he (Rayson) should be financiall...

Are you feeling stuck; like you're not going anywhere + that you're on a path or a virtual treadmill to nowhere? Do you feel like no matter what you do, you cannot move ahead? All of us have been there at one time or another. In fact, we (my husband and I) are just coming out of a place where we have felt stuck. I have been teaching others how to become the best that they can be and how to live th...

If you've ever felt guilty or anxious for saying no or have been talked into doing something that you never wanted to do in the first place, you may have a boundary problem. If you constantly deal with too much drama in your relationships or have difficulty making decisions, you may have a boundary problem. If you care too much about what other people think about you, you may have boundary issues....

Along my way, I have met so many people who all have one thing in common, they are not loving this precious life that we have been given the opportunity to live; they are not living their best life. Not only that, but lately I see commercial after commercial "selling" us ways for you to love our life - whether it be through a new online counseling agency, gym memberships, food, medication...basica...
