When was the last time you truly played? As kids, play came naturally, but somewhere along the way, many of us lost that sense of fun. In this episode of Wine or Tea?, we dive into the science behind play, why it’s essential for adults, and how incorporating fun into our daily lives can boost mental health, creativity, and connection. You’ll hear perspectives from a teenager, a parent, and a therapist on why play matters at every stage of life. Plus, I’ll share my own experiences and thoughts on keeping that childlike spark alive.
So, grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let’s talk about why it’s time to start playing again! Want more episodes? Visit www.wineorteapodcast.com to explore Wine or Tea? and join the conversation. -
Growing up tall came with challenges—awkward comments, struggles with clothing, and moments that made me feel out of place. But this isn’t just about height. It’s about any trait we can’t change—whether it’s our height, race, personal ability, or anything else that makes us stand out. In this episode, I share a deeply uncomfortable public encounter that made me reflect on how people treat differences. I also open up about my personal journey, childhood struggles, and the incredible woman who helped me shift my perspective on self-acceptance. Let’s talk about embracing who we are and why respecting others’ experiences matters.

New year, same me—but with focused change in mind! In this episode, I’m kicking off 2025 by talking about my take on the new year. While everyone else is jumping on the “New Year’s resolutions” bandwagon, I’ll be honest—I’m not sold. The pressure that comes with resolutions just doesn’t sit right with me. Suddenly, everything has to change just because the calendar did, and that feels a little forced, don’t you think?
But here’s the thing—I love setting goals. Not the kind that feel like a chore or something I have to do, but goals that are meaningful and genuinely inspire me. So today, I’m sharing how I approach goal-setting in a way that’s intentional, realistic, and actually exciting.
Whether you’re sipping wine, tea, or whatever’s in your cup, get comfy and join me for a laid-back conversation about setting goals that align with what we truly want to achieve—no pressure, just progress. -
