Tori
Hello, and welcome to Tea Time with Tori! Let's grab ourselves a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and dive into this journey of self love, self care, and self discovery!
Hello loves. In this 10th episode of Tea Time with Tori, I begin by opening up and getting human about why I've been MIA from this podcast for so long, sharing about my "cocoon phase" and how healing can get messy. From there, I talk through and offer you some of my ideas on how to discover, and rediscover, yourself through connecting with what brought you joy as a kid and asking yourself what your ideal, higher self is all about. Finally, I wrap up with a note about the quote "perfect image" vs. finding what's true to you.
Hello! In this ninth episode of Tea Time with Tori, I first give a little update about what's been going on in my life since our last episode. We reflect together on what it is to have a healthy friendship or relationship, and how not all relationships have to last in order to have a lasting impact. Next, we dive into the topic of empowered decision making by working through three points: what an empowered decision ultimately is, how an empowered decision is one that's your own, and how an empowered decision reflects who you are becoming more than who you've been in the past!
Hello! In this eighth episode of Tea Time with Tori, I continue the recent trend of having guest speakers by inviting my dear friend, Irene, to talk all about healthy relationships! First, we collaborate and offer up signs to look for of a negative, unhealthy relationship: whether it be a friendship, a romantic partnership, or a relationship to someone in your family. We then transition to talk all about the signs of a happy and healthy relationship, encouraging you to look for these signs in the relationships in your life!
Hello! In this seventh episode of Tea Time with Tori, I bring in a special guest, my dear friend Katie! First, we collaborate to offer a definition of what negative self talk is, as we explore how negative self talk is different from passing bad thoughts. From there, we work together to offer a variety of positive coping mechanisms, empowering you to work through and overcome moments of intense doubt, anxiety, and fear.
Hello! In this sixth episode of Tea Time with Tori, I offer an empowering, guided meditation, reflecting on the following quote from Eleanor Brownn: "You cannot serve from an empty vessel." Stemming from a discussion of the Black Lives Matter Movement and current revolution, we explore how, in order to shine our light and love into the world, we must first make sure we are full- energized, strong, and ready to stand with and for others. It is then that we can enact justice and make the difference we were set on this Earth to make.
Hello! In this fifth episode of Tea Time with Tori, I discuss how my own relationship with my body has transformed over the past few years, comparing where I've been to where I am now. From there, we explore three ideas which have truly helped me to create that healthy, loving relationship to my body, and that will hopefully help you to do the same: focusing on health, seeing and touching your body, and then, finally, thanking your body for all it does for you.
Hello! In this fourth episode of Tea Time with Tori, I discuss COVID-19 in the context of self love and self care, asking the question, "What can we control?" From there, we explore three points that have truly helped me and may help you in coping and growing through this time: being kind, connecting, and, finally, finding joy.
Hello! In this third episode of Tea Time with Tori, I begin by incorporating your feedback and getting personal, opening up about how I've been working to listen to my own advice. I reveal how I've learned that, in difficult situations, I must trust "the answer will come." From there, we dive into a discussion of emotional honesty, understanding how we can be emotionally present for ourselves and others. We explore the difference between being aggressive and being upfront and how we can, in spite of our anger and frustration, resist the urge to attack one another and instead be kind. We discuss taking responsibility for our own feelings through "I" statements.
Hello! In this second episode of Tea Time with Tori, I introduce the idea of higher self care, walking through how it can be thought of as building a relationship with yourself. From there, we work together through self dialogue, embracing vulnerability, honesty, and communication.
Hello! In this first episode of Tea Time with Tori, I begin my introduction to you and give a little bit of background for what inspired me to pursue this Podcast. From there, I walk you through a discussion of how we can define self care and, moreover, how self care has multiple tiers to it. We then discuss the first tier of self care, or basic self care, by using the idea of caring for our inner child.
