Thirty episodes. Most podcasts don’t even make it past seven—but here we are, still sipping, still spilling, and still rising.
Episode 30 of Sip Tea with Me is more than a milestone—it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the messy magic that builds confidence and creates legacy. This episode isn’t just about the wins; it’s about the failures, the mistrusts, the detours, and the unknowns that shape us into who we’re meant to be.
Why Confidence Is Built in the Messy Middle
Confidence doesn’t come from having it all figured out—it comes from surviving the stumbles. When I first started this podcast, I had no clue what I was doing. Some episodes had the wrong mic, intros went too long, and there were days I wondered if anyone was even listening.
But here’s the thing: confidence isn’t born from perfection, it’s built by showing up. Every wobble, every faceplant, every messy take became a brick in the foundation of my confidence.
Failures as Fuel
There were moments I doubted myself—when plans flopped, collaborations fell apart, or my voice felt small. But instead of being the end of the story, those failures became fuel. Each setback taught me, redirected me, and added wisdom to my toolkit.
Would you even trust someone who never once stumbled? Probably not. It’s the messiness that makes the story real—and that’s what makes transformation possible.
Storytelling as Legacy
One of the greatest gifts of Sip Tea with Me is the way it’s kept me connected to my Gramma Pansy. She was the queen of stories—over tea, about life, about love. Every time I sit down with my mic and my cuppa, I feel like I’m carrying her spirit forward.
This podcast has opened doors, sparked conversations, and created community. It’s more than content—it’s a legacy of storytelling, connection, and love.
Elevating Your Game Through Support 💥
Here’s the truth: you don’t have to do this alone. Surround yourself with wisdom, cheerleaders who clap for you even when you wobble, and teachers who hand you the tools to rise higher than you thought you could.
Because when you combine courage to fail, trust in the unknown, and the right support system—you don’t just play the game. You elevate it. You shine brighter. You become unstoppable.
8 Ways to Find the Right People to Support You 🌟
Follow the Energy – Notice how you feel after being with someone.
Seek Out Wisdom Carriers – Mentors, coaches, and elders can save you time and heartache.
Curate Your Inner Circle – A few loyal friends > 100 acquaintances.
Join Aligned Communities – Retreats, circles, masterminds—spaces that value authenticity.
Find Cheerleaders, Not Critics – If they don’t clap when you rise, they’re not your people.
Invest in Teachers + Tools – Growth accelerates when you invest in guidance.
Look for Shared Values – Align with honesty, kindness, sovereignty.
Be Brave Enough to Walk Away – Letting go of the wrong makes room for the right.
