Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the mic of your favorite independent podcasts? The truth might surprise you.

Welcome to a rare, unfiltered glimpse behind the curtain of Thym 4 Tea with Mikita. In this intimate first episode of my mini-series, I'm spilling all the tea about what podcasting looks like when there's no production team, no fancy studio, and absolutely no playbook: just me, a microphone, and a mission.

From choosing themes based on what genuinely tugs at my heart rather than chasing trends, to the vulnerable moments of sitting with headphones on, wondering "Does anyone even care what I'm saying?" – this journey has been anything but smooth. I share the technical nightmares (yes, I once forgot to hit record after a brilliant 30-minute conversation), the emotional rollercoaster of almost quitting multiple times, and the unexpected joy of having strangers yell "Is it time for tea?" across a store.

The podcast world often glamorizes the process, but the reality involves constant learning curves, battling insecurities, and figuring out how to create quality content without formal training or experience. Yet within these challenges lies the true magic: hitting publish on something you almost talked yourself out of, then hearing from someone who needed exactly those words.

Whether you're considering starting your creative endeavor or simply curious about the person behind the mic you listen to, this raw conversation offers a refreshing dose of reality paired with genuine encouragement. Remember, you don't need perfection to begin – you just need to start. And when you feel like quitting, ask yourself why. The answer might just bring you back home to yourself.

What if the recognition you're seeking isn't waiting on a stage somewhere, but right here in your own hands?

Recognition isn't just a trophy on your shelf—it's a form of rest. That sacred breath between survival and becoming. After four years of podcasting through empty seasons, echoing rooms, and uncertain words, I decided to give myself the damn award. No permission needed, no red carpet required. And it wasn't just celebration—it was interruption of an unhealthy cycle.

We often push ourselves far beyond reasonable limits, only acknowledging our need for rest when we're already operating in crisis mode. As the wise Olivia Pope once said, "By the time you realize you're in crisis, it's already too late." This raw, celebratory episode explores what happens when we honor our journey before burnout forces us to pause. When we recognize that the work behind the work—the showing up, the consistency, the vulnerability—deserves celebration too.

You don't need panels of judges or viral success to determine your worth. The honest admission that you're doing your best is enough reason to celebrate. Whether it's taking yourself out for sushi, writing your own acceptance speech (thanking coffee and "Beyoncé's internet"), or simply pausing to acknowledge how far you've come—these moments of self-recognition aren't self-indulgent; they're self-preserving.

Take this as your accountability partner's nudge: stop waiting for permission to slow down. Celebrate your journey not because you've finally done enough, but because you are already enough. Share this message with someone who deserves to celebrate themselves too, and stay tuned for a new season of Time for Tea with Makita coming soon, plus No One Acts dropping this fall with stories that shift your soul.

We’ve been sold a version of self-care that looks good on Instagram—but often leaves us feeling even more burnt out.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what self-care really means, what it absolutely isn’t, and why so many of us confuse survival mode with restoration. Spoiler alert: if your “self-care” still leaves you exhausted, it’s not care—it’s another performance.

We’ll unpack:

• Why self-care is rooted in feminine energy, not hustle
• How to stop using bubble baths to bandage burnout
• The subtle difference between self-preservation and self-nourishment
• And 4 ways to bring intentional, honest self-care into your everyday life

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
Because when you learn to care for yourself from a place of wholeness (not pressure), everything shifts.

In this heartfelt follow-up to one of my most listened-to episodes, we go deeper—because letting go is just the beginning.

Today, we’re unpacking the power of presence, the weight of unspoken expectations, and the courage it takes to ask for help and actually receive it. If you’ve ever questioned your worth when you're not busy, productive, or the “strong one” for everyone else… this episode is for you.

You’ll hear truths about:

• The guilt we carry after asking for help
• Why rest feels like rebellion in a hustle culture
• How to trust your impact even when no one says “thank you”
• And how you’ve been seen and valued in ways you never realized

You were never invisible—you were just growing in the quiet.

✍🏾 Show Notes:

In this episode, we explore:

• [02:40] The pause after letting go—and why it’s necessary
• [07:05] The truth about asking for help and the shame we hide
• [12:25] Why rest still feels like failure and how to shift that narrative
• [17:45] What quiet impact really looks like in real life
• [21:30] How to rewrite your relationship with self-worth, support, and silence

✨ Reflection Questions:

1. Where in your life are you still afraid to ask for help?
2. What does rest look like for you—and what beliefs are tied to it?
3. Can you name one moment when your presence made a difference, even if it went unacknowledged?

💬 Let’s Stay Connected:

In this heartfelt episode, Mikita welcomes Lori Pappas, a woman who turned trauma into triumph and societal “supposed tos” into a life of her design. Lori shares her journey—from a childhood marked by religious trauma to building a successful business and selling it at 49, and moving to Ethiopia at 57 to empower marginalized communities. Through candid reflections, she reveals how she broke free from the “good girl” mold, healed from PTSD and found purpose in helping others discover their inner peace and wisdom. This conversation is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rewrite the rules and live authentically.

Key Takeaways:

1. The “Good Girl” Trap Silences Us: Lori unpacks how being a “good girl” often means compliance and losing your voice—something she rejected early on, despite the cost.
2. Trauma Can Be a Catalyst: Her protective shell from childhood trauma helped her succeed in a man’s world, but it also kept her emotionally distant until she faced it head-on in her 50s.
3. Healing Unlocks Purpose: Confronting PTSD after her son’s accident set Lori on a path to self-awareness, leading her to a second career empowering women in Ethiopia.
4. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Moving to a new continent at 57 taught Lori the richness of different perspectives—and the complexity of creating change without imposing your lens.
5. Embrace Your Wise Woman Within: Lori’s message is clear—self-awareness, reflection, and shedding baggage allow every woman to tap into her inherent wisdom and live with intention.
6. Life Happens Now: Waiting for permission keeps you small; breaking the rules and betting on yourself is how you claim the life you want.

Join me Mikita as I spill tea on MY journey to running MY first 5K—a ride full of surprising lessons about mental strength. This isn’t just about crossing a finish line; it’s about the courage to start, the power of sticking it out, and the seeds we plant when we challenge ourselves. From battling ice cream cravings to pushing past self-doubt, I share how a simple race became a mirror for resilience and growth. Sip along as I invite you to ask: What’s next for me? Expect humor, heart, and a nudge to claim your own strength—whatever that looks like for you.

Key Takeaways

1. Mental Fitness Trumps All: The 5K taught Mikita that pushing through doubt and discomfort builds a stronger mind, not just a stronger body—resilience is the real win.
2. Start Where You Are: You don’t need to be ready or perfect; willingness to begin plants the seed for growth, even if it’s imperfect.
3. Challenges Breed Growth: Science shows tackling goals, big or small, boosts confidence and purpose—every step rewires your brain for strength.
4. It’s Not About the Outcome: The power lies in choosing to start and sticking with it, not in winning or being the best.
5. Find Your Own Race: Whether it’s running, painting, or organizing a closet, the magic happens when you stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone.
6. You Are Enough Now: No perfect moment is coming—claim your strength today and take that first step toward what’s next.

My Workout Favs: What Got Me Through

Even a messy 5K needs some fuel and flair. Here’s what I’m loving:

• Pre-workout: Rize Sour Apple – That tangy kick wakes me up when I’d rather nap.
• Shoes: Hoka – Like clouds for my feet—saved me when the pavement got mean.
• Post-Run: Smoothie Protein Rize Marshmallow – Creamy, dreamy recovery in a glass. Tastes like a treat, not a chore!

These goodies kept me moving

Marie Malvoisin's transformative journey from Army officer to empowerment photographer reveals the profound power of reclaiming your authentic self. After serving 20 years in the military, Marie found herself emotionally depleted – functioning externally while dying inside, caught in an endless cycle of giving without receiving. The turning point came during a deployment when she discovered the revolutionary concept that "no is a complete sentence."

Through her luxury boudoir photography studio, Bohemian Vision, Marie has created something far more meaningful than a photography business. She's built a sanctuary where women can safely explore vulnerability, often for the first time. What makes her approach revolutionary is her deep understanding of energy dynamics – many women operate predominantly in masculine energy as a defense mechanism when feeling unsafe in their environments. Marie's studio becomes the rare space where they can safely surrender to their feminine energy: creative, fluid, and powerfully vulnerable.

The session experience engages all senses – from carefully selected scents to textural elements like satin and velvet, creating an environment where clients gradually shed their armor. Marie describes the magical moment in each session when something shifts, and a woman sees herself through the camera and exclaims, "That's me!" with genuine wonder. For many clients, particularly those who've experienced trauma, this becomes the moment they reclaim ownership of their bodies and stories.

Marie's philosophy of "do it scared" encourages women to push beyond their comfort zones, reminding us that true confidence comes from facing fears rather than avoiding them. Her work demonstrates that vulnerability, is our greatest source of power. Through her lens, women discover they are indeed "that girl" – the confident, sensual being they've always been but perhaps never fully recognized.

Ready to rediscover yourself through Marie's transformative lens? Visit bohemianvisions.com or follow Bohemian Visions Photography on Instagram to begin your journey of self-reclamation.

In this episode, Mikita gets real about 'quietly quitting'—that sneaky process where we slowly start to pull back, whether it's at work, in our relationships, or even in how we live day to day. It’s not about walking away all at once, but more about that gradual shift where we stop giving it our all. Let’s talk about how this happens, why it happens, and what we can do to turn things around.

Key Discussion Points:
- What quietly quitting really means—it’s not just about work
- The emotional journey that leads to quietly quitting: burnout, feeling unappreciated, and fear of making changes
- Recognizing the early signs and figuring out how to get your spark back
- How routine and autopilot can take you from thriving to just surviving

Episode Summary

Quietly quitting doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a slow fade that can creep into your job, relationships, and even your day-to-day life. In this episode, Mikita shares her thoughts on how burnout, feeling undervalued, and fear of change can lead us to quietly quit, often without even realizing it. We’ll dig into how to spot the signs early and what you can do to get back to truly living instead of just getting by. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just coasting through life, this one’s for you. Let’s figure out how to stop quietly quitting and get that fire back.

What if the key to a fulfilling life lies in small, consistent actions rather than grand gestures? Join me, Makita, on this episode of "Time for Tea with Makita" as we explore the transformative power of building trust and self-care through everyday habits. Drawing from Brene Brown's "marble jar" concept and James Clear's "Atomic Habits," we'll discuss how simple acts like meditating, eating healthy, and practicing gratitude can accumulate over time, leading to substantial personal growth and self-love. We'll reflect on Aristotle's wisdom that excellence is formed by daily routines, and I'll share some heartwarming personal updates, including the joyful addition of a new cat, Turner, to my family.

In this episode, we focus on the concept of "marble jar moments," where small daily actions contribute to building self-trust and care. I'll share how I adapted this idea to my life using a jar and colorful marbles as a visual representation of these efforts. The journey hasn't been without its challenges, but the process of adding marbles—representing acts of self-care—has been deeply fulfilling. Inspired by James Clear's principles, we'll emphasize the importance of progress over perfection, and how even small steps like self-reflection and gratitude can have a significant impact on our long-term goals. Tune in to celebrate these tiny victories and learn how to nurture your inner relationship for a richer, more fulfilling life.

Can embracing vulnerability truly transform your life? Join me, Mikita, as I share my personal journey of living wholeheartedly, filled with moments of openness, authenticity, and sometimes, raw discomfort. Through my experiences, both triumphant and challenging, I unpack common misconceptions about wholehearted living and offer practical advice on navigating the discomfort of vulnerability. Learn why taking a step back to reset and recharge is essential, and discover the profound impact of letting go of the invisible chains that hold us back.

In this episode, let’s explore together why wholehearted living isn’t just about being perpetually joyful but about fully experiencing the spectrum of human emotions. I challenge the myth that we must face life’s journey alone and highlight the immense value that comes from building meaningful connections and seeking community support. By leaning into discomfort and allowing ourselves to be seen, we gain the courage to embrace life’s complexities with authenticity and purpose.

Are you among the many who believe sacrificing sleep might be the key to increased productivity? Let me, Mikita, alongside sleep expert Dr. Catherine Darley, unravel this misconception for you. In a culture where burning the midnight oil is often celebrated, we expose the truth behind the sleep-productivity myth and advocate for the counterintuitive approach that more sleep can mean better performance. We share personal experiences and the societal pressures that skew our perception of rest, making a compelling case for why your early bedtime might just be your secret weapon for success.

Dr. Darley and I delve into the revelatory impact that proper sleep can have on every facet of your life. With two decades of experience in sleep medicine, Dr. Darley provides invaluable insights into the transformative power of a good night's sleep on our relationships, emotional intelligence, and work output. We dissect the potential hazards of becoming too fixated on sleep metrics from wearable technology and discuss how a balanced view on sleep can prevent us from getting trapped in an unproductive cycle of sleep obsession and poor rest.

As we wrap up our conversation, we highlight the critical role sleep plays in self-care, emphasizing the necessity of consistent sleep patterns to harness the full spectrum of its benefits. Discover how aligning your sleep routine with your natural circadian rhythm can unlock a world of creativity, mental clarity, and patience. We debunk common sleep myths and stress the importance of waking up at the same time every day. Let this discussion guide you towards nurturing a healthier relationship with sleep and adopting the self-compassion necessary for a balanced and fulfilling life.

Feeling like you are always sacrificing your dreams and aspirations to meet the expectations of others? Ever wondered how you can flip the script and start prioritizing your own goals for a change? Well, you've come to the right place. This week, we're going to dive deep into the concept of personal success and how to claim it on your own terms. We'll explore the power of shifting your mindset, recognizing your own voice, and understanding the profound power of your choices.

As part of the journey, we’ll also delve into the impact of social media on our lives and how it can often steer us away from focusing on our personal goals. We'll discuss the importance of setting boundaries, reframing our perception of success, and how to manage the fear of missing out. We'll also reveal how you can turn the tables on the pervasive world of social media and use it to your advantage, rather than let it dictate your life.

Finally, we'll debunk the myth that being constantly 'busy' equates to being productive. We'll shed light on the concept of intentional productivity, which emphasizes progress rather than a jam-packed schedule. We'll share some practical tips on how to set boundaries, understand the true meaning of success, and the power of saying 'no.' It's all about creating a life that aligns with your personal values, desires, and goals. So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let's toast to a promising journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

What if there was more to mentorship than just finding that one perfect person to guide us? In this throwback episode with Gregory Diel, we reveal the untapped power of self-awareness and understanding our own identities beyond what society dictates. Together, we tackle the notion that one ideal mentor for every aspect of our lives is a myth and discuss how to seek influence and inspiration from various sources to truly grow.

As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, Gregory and I also delve into the realms of self-awareness and heroism. We discuss building confidence by showcasing our abilities rather than merely assuming we can do something, the dangers of arrogance and elevation, and the pitfalls of self-sabotage. By challenging cultural conditioning, we can gain a fresh perspective on the world and embrace self-acceptance. Listen in and learn how to become your own hero by standing up for yourself and living a life that brings you the utmost happiness. Join us for this insightful and transformative conversation with Gregory Diel.

When we're striving to prove our worth and make something of ourselves, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle. We can feel like every move needs to be productive or else- but what if we took a step back? What would happen if, instead of running on autopilot trying desperately for validation from outside forces, I allowed myself grace & space to check in with my heart? To listen closely, even when it means feeling uncomfortable as we stretch toward new heights and healing moments that will ultimately bring us closer into alignment with who God has called us, each uniquely created, is a beautiful intentioned masterpiece!
In this episode of Thyme 4 Tea with Mikita, I share how finding my truth has helped me evolve and grow personally and professionally.

Get empowered about your menstrual health and fertility with Amanda Brown. She's a certified fertility specialist and woman menstrual cycle awareness coach, so she knows all about how to take care of your health. Plus, she'll help you recognize the magic of your mentor cycle so you can make better decisions on your health.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to learn more about :

• The different ways you can practice self-care
• The importance of menstrual cycle awareness
• The different phases of the menstrual cycle
• The importance of informed consent
• The importance of tracking your menstrual cycle

@ 00:13:23 -This really stuck out to me because it's so true! Birth is a natural thing that our bodies are designed to do, and yet in our society, it's something that is often seen as a medical procedure that needs to be done in a hospital. I think it's so important that we remember that birth is a natural process and that we should work with our bodies, not against them.
@ 00:17:05 - "In Western medicine really is about, okay, here's a solution for this problem that you're presenting with. And so let's put a Band-Aid on it more than let's get to the root cause of it."
@ 00:18:06 - "Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's safe."

Key Points
@ [0:22:44] Informed consent is essential when it comes to understanding what medications or treatments are doing to your body. Without it, you may not be aware of the potential side effects or long-term consequences of a given course of treatment.
@ [0:25:11] The menstrual cycle is a gift, and it's a vital sign.

Healing is the key to everything.

"I just really want people to know that everything that they need is inside them already."

Carly George is a self-love coach and trauma specialist who helps women to heal from their childhood trauma and to practice self-care in a way that is healing.

This is Carly George's story...

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How our childhood trauma transitions into our daughter and how you and how all of us are affected by that 2. How we can practice more self-care in a way that is healing 3. How do you move past suffering in your emotions, in your life

https://thyme4teawithmikita.com/

Chapter Summaries:
[00:00:04] - Ms. Carly George is a guest on Carla's show today. We are going to talk about trauma and how it affects us.

[00:01:14] - Carly Jordan is on the path of helping other women to heal. She is inquisitive and she has always read loads of books. Carly believes that people are their own spiritual guidance, and healing is tapping into that spiritual connection to who you are and doing the hard work.

People are afraid of their feelings because they don't know how to listen to them. When they learn to reprogram their emotions, they can breathe through them in 90 seconds. It's hard work to do, but when they get used to the process, it's beautiful. Sometimes people get into toxic dynamics with people and they become their own abuses. People can't make you happy, and if that's what you're depending on, then you're never going to find the happiness that you're looking for. It's important to talk to yourself about what you want out of your relationship and then walk away. With each chapter, with each thing there you unlock a different part of who you are. They always should be a level of growth with each chapter. It's like you are like the seasons or the ocean. Not ever the same. Always moving, always flowing.

Trust and believe everyone needs and deserves a break from it all. I remember when my kids were little when we lived in California I use to pray for just 10 minutes or even 30 minutes to just breathe.
You are strong so much of the time that it is hard to know when to stop and break. Your mental health demands that you rest. I have been there and understand the feeling of doing it all and being everything to everyone.  It's okay to say "I need a break".
You don't have to live in this never stop world of hustle. Working nonstop does not always equal success. Sometimes you have to take a step back to see the bigger picture.
Nonstop work leads to burnout, anxiety, and depression. The key is to find balance.
Take the time to connect with yourself by doing simple and easy breathing exercises.
Benefits of Breathing:
 Breathing allows you to slow down and listen to what you need.
Breathing also helps you to clear your mind and focus on what matters to you the most.

Shatara Oliver aka The Boss Boundaries shares her journey that led her to being the thought leader on boundaries. Have you ever let someone cross a boundary only to get mad at yourself later? Or maybe you gave into a demand from a co-worker without saying no? Your not alone. We have all set boundaries only to give in once someone constantly crosses them. But not anymore Shatara is sharing her secrets on how you can re-think how you look at boundaries. She is spilling tea on how you can set realistic boundaries with family, friends and co-workers that work. Are boundaries easy? No; but if you communicate clearly what your expectations are then follow up with consequences if they are not met it will get easier. Ex: Jim: Hey Sue can I borrow your car to go to the store Sue: Yes but you have to bring my car back with the same amount of gas that you found it and no smoking in my care. If you do not put the gas back or if you smoke in my car I will not let you use my car again. Remember boundaries are not meant to punish they are important to building healthy relationships.

Gregory Diehl is an Author, Personal Development Mentor and Founder at Identity Publications.  From his own experiences he has crafted this amazing book The Heroic And Exceptional  Minority this book takes you on a journey of self-awareness, growth as well as gives you a  few Aha moments.

Key takeaways: -Hero's don't have to wear a cape, they don't need mystical powers the only thing the need is the courage and wiliness to say I stand in my belief. It takes some of us a life time to find that type of courage that challenges the very core of everything we were taught to believe. Each of us has a past with it's own unique experiences that has shaped us into the very person we are today. -Self-acceptance is key. It is easy to the the person everyone wants you to be but it is empowering to step into everything you were meant to be. -Take the time to examine who you are. Over the course of my own journey I find myself being curious about my choices or decisions. I ask myself why did you choose this or that or why does this bother you so much. Taking the time to ask myself those question really helped me to know myself. It also helped me to heal. I want to challenge you here to dive deeper and be honest with yourself. Let this lead you into growth.

Self-care can be redefined however you want. It's also about getting to know who you are as a person and connecting with every aspect of yourself. Each of us work so hard sometimes to be whatever everyone wants us to be that we forget to listen to what we need. In this episode I have Spiritual & Mindset Coach Suzaita Hipolito to take this process to the next level. Inner peace is a sense of knowing who are. It takes healing and self acceptance but is so worth the journey. This episode we will talk about the power of letting go. Letting go is not done for no other purpose than to free yourself and find peace. Commit to loving who you are flaws and all while growing into your true self. Focus on how you want to show up in your life. Remember where your focus goes so does your energy. Start this year by thinking of 3 things you want to let go of this year. Then write down ways you can accomplish this. This should be measurable so that you know when you reach your goal. So think about what it would look like and feel like for you but understand that no one is perfect so do not aim for perfection. You have to decide when your sick and tired of being sick and tired then let go to heal. Let's start the process today plant the seed of healing then step into your purpose. Self-care is about allowing yourself permission to care for every aspect of you and that includes your inner peace.

I am claiming that this year will be the year that I know longer dress up my fears and hide them behind perfectly gift wrapped excuses. It is so easy to just make up reason for not applying for the job, or why you don't have time to put your health first. This year is one of healing and allowing ourselves permission to say " Yes I am afraid" "Yes I am scared I am going to fall flat on my face" " Yes there are times that I don't know what I am doing" Yet despite all of that you get up and do it anyway. So what if your knees are shaking  and your heart feels like it's about to jump through your chest. You got this. Self-care is about planting the seeds or growth, nurturing them into fruition then harvesting that positive energy and sharing it with the world. I am also letting go of situations, places, people, bad habits, food addictions that do not help me to grow into everything I was meant to be. No this will not be an easy process it takes small steps that eventually become bigger, bolder and more confident with each decision we make that brings empowerment. This is your year of healing. You get to decide what your next step is. Just remember to do it Loud and Bold. Dare 2 Be You!

Are you a are caregiver or know someone who is a caregiver? The truth is we are all caregivers in some form. A huge part of self-care is remembering that you can not fill from an empty cup. On this episode I have not one but two BESTSELLING AUTHORS Meriam Boldewijn author of Caregiver 2.0 From Burnout To Powerhouse and Ashley Jackson-Thompson author of Lost Travel Found: Turning Pain to Purpose.  Ashley is a graduate of Xavier University, where I studied Finance and Human Resources (HR). I then went onto receiving my master’s degree in Human Resources Management, which I have spent 10+ years of my professional career practicing. After my husband was diagnosed and beat a rare cancer in stage 4, I came to know my purpose in life. Timeless Dream Events mission and vision is to provide terminally ill people and their family members with a “timeless dream event” that will celebrate life and love. We plan various events, at minimal notice due to each unique and sensitive situation. I am humbled by being able to turn my own pain into being a blessing to others. These amazing women share their stories of pain, uncertainty, and hope while dealing with the burnout and stress. Some times as caregivers we think that we are in control and handling things so well but the truth is the body all ways tell the truth. Some of the signs of burnout can present in headaches, weight gain, total shut down, anxiety, stomach pains/ulcers. You can only pretend for so long then you have to face the music. In this heart found conversation we spill tea on how you can prevent burnout, and manage stress as a caregiver. You are never alone. You can find both books on Amazon.  You can connect with Ashley WEBSITE: www.timelessdreamevents.com FB: www.facebook.com/timelessdreamevents IG: www.instagram.com/timelessdreamevents/ TikTok: @timelessdreamevents Clubhouse: @timelessdream BOOK LAUNCH: www.timelessdreamevents.com/shop/  Meriam Boldewijn: There was a time when my husband was a diabetic/on dialysis/had a kidney/pancreas transplant.

In November 2012 -1 day after my birthday- I was at the office when I received a call from my brother.
