TEA of Life Podcast

We've all heard the phrase "The greatest story ever told" —but what if calling it a "story" causes us to miss the truth of what really happened? In this episode, we unpack why the resurrection of Jesus isn't fiction or folklore, but a real, historical event that changed the course of humanity forever. Backed by both biblical and non-biblical evidence, we explore how this truth demands more than re...

In this soul-shifting episode of the TEA of Life Podcast, we're diving into the truth that there's no shortcut to your God-given purpose. Inspired by Rocky IV's "No Easy Way Out," we explore how transformation requires pain, process, and persistence. If you're tempted to take the easy way out, this episode will remind you that while the narrow road may be hard, it's the only path that leads to rea...

We've all had moments where we've done the next right thing - poured our time, heart, and energy into something good, only to have someone come behind us and undo it. Whether it's a clean kitchen, a finished project, or a moment of peace. It can be frustrating and even hurtful. But before we let that frustration take root, we have to ask ourselves: how often have  we undone the beautiful work God...

When life feels overwhelming and uncertain, it's easy to get stuck in fear or indecision. But the good news is, we don't have to have the entire future figured out. We just need to do the next right thing, and w hen we allow God to direct our steps, it is sure to Transform Every Area of our Life. Every small, faithful step moves us forward, and we can walk in confidence, knowing He will lead us ex...

Healing is no easy journey, and trusting God's process can feel overwhelming — especially when others don't understand. In this episode of  TEA of Life Podcast , we dive into the power of surrender, leaning into God's strength when we feel weak, and letting go of the fear of others' opinions. Through personal stories, biblical truths, and practical steps, discover how to embrace healing, walk in o...

Self-sabotage is a common struggle that can manifest in procrastination, negative self-talk, and a fear of success, often stemming from childhood experiences. Today, I share personal experiences of growing up with a narcissistic mom, which led to deep-seated feelings of unworthiness and a belief that my purpose was to serve others rather than fulfill my own calling. Through a conversation with the...

Who We Walk With Matters ✨ Proverbs 13:20 says, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." I've learned this the hard way—staying in toxic relationships, ignoring red flags, and thinking things would change. But wisdom isn't just about knowing better; it's about choosing better. Today, I share encouragement and inspiration for surrounding ourselves with people wh...

In this episode of TEA of Life Podcast, we explore the powerful parallel between a simple cup of tea and the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit. Just as tea transforms water into something vibrant and nourishing, the Spirit of the Lord renews and restores us, bringing healing, strength, and purpose. Through my personal journey of overcoming trials and discovering renewal, I share how God's tr...

In my last episode, I mentioned how I had to close my circle. I shared how I had to step away from a few others - especially those who were always stealing parts of me in order to accomplish their own goals. Today, I explain a little more about why I did this and shed light on a few relationship characteristics that may help you identify boundaries that you may need to set as well. Visit my websit...

The freedom that I feel from my previous entanglement of what we always describe as brokenness is unexplainable. The confidence that I have gained from knowing that I am free and healed is astonishing. In this episode, I offer a few ways to get this same healing started for yourself!

Today, I talk about boundaries and share more of my story. During the events that ultimately led to this podcast (which I've talked about in previous episodes), I learned a lot about boundaries. Before that time, I didn't really know what boundaries were. I was never taught about boundaries in any aspect of my life, and it wasn't until I was in my 40s and experiencing one of the darkest places in...

Do you ever find yourself more easily believing the bad things that have possibly been said about or told to you, rather than the good things that God's Word tells us? Sometimes, it's the bad stuff that's easier to believe. In this episode, I share a little more about my story, in hopes of encouraging and inspiring you to believe the good things of who you are and who God created you to be! For mo...

What is God nudging you to do that you are avoiding? Are you avoiding it out of fear or out of procrastination? In this episode, Tiffany gives the encouragement needed to push you forward into your God-given dream or pursuit.

In this first episode of Season 7, I begin to share why I'm really here. I get a personal, vulnerable, and definitely a bit uncomfortable with my topic.

Today, I'm jumping right into our topic and talking about stating our why. Think about why it is that we want to do whatever it is that we want to do. Our why is not our reason, and we need to understand that stating our why is important to help keep us motivated. It leads us to our specific goals. It's what gets us there. It's what gets us up in the morning and what keeps us awake at night. It do...

When we are contemplating something new, it is wise to find someone who is already doing it and ask them a lot of questions. Asking others who are already successful in doing what we want to do helps us gain knowledge. They can pass on wisdom and experiences that we may not have ever considered.

There are times when we need to relax, take a breath, and breathe, and the start of a homeschooling journey is definitely one of those times. One of the many things that I have learned during my time homeschooling is that staying calm usually helps in every situation. The more calm we approach our homeschooling journey, the easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding it is going to be for everyone....

Today, I want to encourage you that you are enough. There's this idea going around that says that we are not enough, and I feel like I am here to tell you today that you are enough and that having self-worth is not wrong. In fact, it is how Jesus sees us. For full transcripts, visit teaoflifepodcast.com. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @teaoflifepodcast

Today, I pull pull an ever-relevant episode from the vault. In this episode, my former co-host and I talk about why school is not THAT important . The pressures for good grades and high end of year test scores contribute to rising depression, cutting, and suicide rates among middle and high schoolers. This could be related to the feeling of not measuring up among peers or the pressures that parent...

If I had to name someone who undeniably left a positive legacy on my life, my aunt and uncle would definitely be at the top of my list. The influence they left on my life was definitely unlike any other, and today, I want you to consider the legacy that you are going to be leaving for your children, your children's children, and their children's children. For full transcripts and to listen straigh...

In today's episode, I talk about a time when God asked me to do something really hard, and I rebelled. In the end, I ended up submitting to His will, even though it wasn't easy. Today, I am grateful for that hard journey, and I want to encourage you to go where He's asking you to go. For full transcripts, visit teaoflifepodcast.com. 

I'm back! I took some time in 2021 to reflect and refuel, and now I'm ready to get back to it! Enjoy this introductory episode for season 6 and make sure you SUBSCRIBE for future episodes! For full transcripts and links, visit teaoflifepodcast.com. 

Today, I hope to make you feel a little better and possibly put a couple of things into perspective with your homeschooling journey. My hope is that, after listening to this episode, you will be able to feel a bit more prepared and encouraged as you begin, or continue, homeschooling through high school.
