Rise Into Real Love with Jonathan Boncek: Reclaiming Your Inner Voice 54:59

13 days ago54:59

54:59

Send us a text The relationship we have with ourselves is the foundation from which all others rise. In this thought-provoking conversation with Jonathan Boncek, we explore how self-love, authentic vulnerability, and emotional awareness are not just healing tools—but the very ground from which we grow and rise into healthier, more connected relationships. Jonathan shares his powerful personal evolution from photographer to practitioner of Rapid Transformational Therapy—a modality that blends hypnotherapy, CBT, and neuro-linguistic programming. He explains with clarity and compassion how the way we speak to ourselves shapes the lives we lead. “Speak to yourself like you're speaking to your five-year-old self,” he encourages, “with encouragement, support, and the most unconditional love you can.” Together, we rise into a deeper conversation on male vulnerability—why it’s been resisted, how it shows up in the body, and what it means to reclaim emotional expression as a form of strength. With his metaphor of becoming “a warrior in a garden rather than a gardener in a war,” Jonathan invites us to rise out of survival mode and into grounded, compassionate presence. We also explore rising in romantic and platonic relationships—releasing the myth that another person completes us, and instead honoring relationships as sacred spaces where two whole people rise alongside one another, witnessing and supporting each other’s growth. Jonathan offers practical tools for recognizing emotional cycles, setting boundaries, and knowing when to speak and when to simply hold space. Perhaps most transformative is Jonathan’s invitation to look in the mirror, meet your own eyes, and say “I love you” until you feel it. This rising into self-love is where it all begins. As he reminds us, “The way you speak to yourself will become the way the world speaks to you.” Ready to rise in your relationship with yourself—and others? Listen now and rediscover why your softest truths may be your greatest strength. Join us this fall at the 2025 Women Rise Retreat. More information at www.growingwithtea.com.

Self-Care Rising Rituals: From Morning Yoga to Garden Therapy 46:36

26 days ago46:36

46:36

Send us a text What does genuine self-care look like in an age of commercialized wellness and non-stop demands? Our conversation with rewilding retreat alumna Ave reveals it's far more than bubble baths and face masks—it's about creating sustainable rituals that honor your body's wisdom and protect your precious energy. We dive deep into morning routines that set our days on the right track. From Brooke's transformative 15-minute yoga practice to Ave's cold water plunges and Kundalini stretches, these intentional start-ups don't need to be lengthy to be effective. The key isn't complexity but consistency—finding what grounds you and making it accessible enough to practice daily. As Ave shares, "Part of my morning routine and part of self-care is to be in a place where it's easy to feel my body's wisdom." The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore how protecting our attention has become essential self-care. Digital boundaries, saying no to what doesn't deeply resonate, and Ave's refreshingly direct "no assholes" policy all reflect a deeper truth: self-care often looks like permission to honor your authentic needs. One powerful framework that emerged is "if it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no"—a simple but revolutionary approach to decision-making that honors your intuition. We also unpack how nourishment affects our well-being, with practical insights on reducing sugar dependency, embracing plant-based options, and the therapeutic joy of gardening. From rainbow chard to hibiscus mocktails, participants share creative alternatives that make healthy choices feel like abundance rather than restriction. As Ave beautifully articulates, gardening isn't just about food—it's therapy that recalibrates your nervous system while connecting you to ancient human practices. What's your non-negotiable self-care practice? Whether it's Tracy's dedicated hairstylist trips, Eryn's essential decompression time after work, or Brooke's sacred early mornings, we all need rituals that sustain us. Listen in and be inspired to craft your own sustainable self-care practice—one that truly rises to meet your authentic needs. Join us this fall at the 2025 Women Rise Retreat.

Step Counters & Moon Shots: How We Push Each Other To Rise 38:51

8 weeks ago38:51

38:51

Send us a text The journey between merely surviving and authentically thriving often comes down to one critical element: intention. What separates showing up at work from excelling at your career? What transforms routine goal-setting into genuine personal growth? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the relationship between intentions and goals, uncovering how they work together yet serve distinct purposes in our growth journey. Intentions represent our why—the feelings, beliefs, and visions that precede action—while goals provide the structured pathway to achievement. Without aligned intentions, even well-crafted goals can feel hollow or imposed, lacking the emotional investment needed for sustained motivation. We explore frameworks like SMART goals and James Clear's philosophy from "Atomic Habits" that "we do not rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our systems." This perspective shifts focus from outcomes to processes, suggesting that small 1% daily improvements in our systems can lead to remarkable progress without overwhelming changes. The conversation takes fascinating turns through manifestation practices—how visualizing success and maintaining positive self-talk can program our brains to recognize opportunities—and the complex dynamics of accountability partnerships. We share personal experiences with step-counting challenges that illustrate both the motivational power and potential pitfalls of external accountability. Perhaps most inspiring is our discussion of Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs)—those moonshot aspirations that seem almost impossible yet inspire collective action and innovation. Like JFK's declaration about going to the moon, these ambitious visions can unlock creativity and determination we didn't know we possessed. Ready to transform your approach to goal-setting?

Rising with Purpose: The Journey, Not the Destination 43:01

Send us a text The quest for purpose often becomes a pressure-filled search for a singular calling or destination, but what if we've been approaching it all wrong? In this vulnerable and thought-provoking conversation, we dismantle the myth that finding your purpose happens in one revelatory moment or that pursuing your passion means you'll "never work a day in your life." Through personal stories and honest reflections, we explore how purpose frequently reveals itself in retrospect, sometimes emerging from our most challenging moments and redirecting our life's trajectory in unexpected ways. Listen as we share our journeys of finding alignment between mind, heart, and intuition—and the courage required to recognize when we've drifted from our authentic path. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we examine how career choices often happen through a combination of intention, circumstance, and sometimes even childhood inclinations that hint at our natural talents. We reflect on the concept of "calling" and whether we're all meant to experience that profound sense of direction that some describe. Perhaps most powerfully, we celebrate how community becomes fundamental to purpose discovery and fulfillment. Our own women's circle demonstrates how intentional gathering creates spaces where authenticity thrives, accountability flourishes, and ideas transform into meaningful action rather than remaining theoretical discussions. Ready to shift your perspective on purpose? Join us for this insightful exploration of how staying curious, connecting with your values, and building supportive community might be the real secret to living a purpose-driven life.

Rise Despite Self-Doubt: Conversations with Pamela Say 55:07

Send us a text What if self-doubt isn't something to overcome, but rather a clue guiding us toward deeper self-understanding? In this transformative conversation, we're joined by leadership expert and Harley rider Pamela Say, who shares her journey of unlearning limiting beliefs and discovering authentic contentment. Pamela introduces a powerful perspective: from birth, we absorb messages from others that shape our beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities. By adulthood, these inherited narratives feel like truth. The key to freedom? Embarking on what she calls "the greatest journey of my whole life" – the rigorous process of unlearning toxic messaging to discover who we truly are beneath it all. The discussion takes unexpected turns as we explore how riding a 700-pound Harley motorcycle became Pamela's metaphor for freedom and presence. Once terrified of public speaking to the point of physical distress, she shares the technique she uses to transform this fear into confidence. Our hosts vulnerably share their own experiences with self-doubt, from career transitions to medical procedures and parenting insecurities. We examine whether popular terms like "imposter syndrome" help us grow or keep us stuck, and dive into practical strategies for moving through fear: preparation, visualization, reframing anxiety as excitement, and perhaps most importantly, practicing radical self-compassion. Whether you're facing a significant challenge or simply tired of the voice in your head questioning your worth, this episode offers both comfort and actionable insights. Join us to discover how connecting with others and questioning inherited beliefs can lead to the most authentic version of yourself – and why none of us would ever want to be 20 again!

In this episode, we delve into the profound concept of cultivating inner strength, sharing personal stories that resonate with resilience, vulnerability, and empowerment. Through compelling narratives, we explore what it means to rise from within and how this journey shapes us. We start by discussing the significance of self-validation in finding our strength, as well as the detrimental effects of seeking external approval. One host opens up about a traumatic moment in her life, illustrating how recognizing our own power can lead to transformative healing and self-empowerment. Other stories highlight everyday experiences, bringing humor and relatability to the exploration of living alone and confronting life's little challenges that demand inner strength. Rooted in science and psychology, we address how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems influence our ability to manage stress. Practical strategies such as meditation and deep breathing are offered to assist in stabilizing our internal responses to external pressures. Through discussing mindfulness and community support, we encourage listeners to embrace their journeys and trust the strength that resides within them.

Pauline Hoffman, Ph.D. , an infodemiologist with a knack for unraveling the tangled web of misinformation, joins us for an eye-opening chat that's as enlightening as it is essential. Together, we traipse through the murky realms of modern-day witch hunts and the dire consequences of disinformation. But it's not all doom and gloom; Pauline's insights provide a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to discerning truth in a post-truth world. This episode's narrative arc bends towards the bizarre and wonderfully human. We get candid about the intersection of science and spirituality, discussing how unexplained phenomena like goosebumps can coexist with the rigor of research. The conversation takes whimsical detours, too—imagine stumbling upon a roadside coffin for sale, sparking a quirky convo and a business brainwave. And for the bibliophiles, the buzz about Beekeeper's Bookshop holds the promise of a community sanctuary for literature lovers. Wrapping things up with a heartwarming segment, listeners share their wildest stories and we honor the afterlife wishes of loved ones with a blend of sentiment and humor.

Mary recounts an evening that spiraled into the realm of the absurd at a posh lakeside eatery and introduces you to the term "rich tits." And just when you think it couldn't get more bizarre, we tackle the comedy and sometimes headache-inducing drama of splitting bills and the peculiarities of customer service encounters in the restaurant world. Kindness isn't just a word; it's a heartfelt action that can change the course of someone's day—or even life. In this episode, we share the warmth of human generosity, from a surprise act of benevolence at Cheers in Boston to a simple, yet profound act of paying it forward that taught the invaluable lesson of goodwill. As we spin these yarns, you'll see how these moments of grace weave into the larger fabric of our humanity, reminding us of the ripple effect one good deed can have. But life isn’t all chicken wings and charity; it's also about standing up for yourself and navigating the sometimes frustrating pursuit of employment in a post-COVID-19 world. We candidly discuss the ghosting phenomenon by potential employers, the art of holding onto your integrity in business deals gone south, and the importance of setting personal rules of engagement in our interactions. It's a candid reflection on the importance of communication and forgiveness as we stumble, pick ourselves back up, and boil another pot of tea.

Unraveling Trinity Wounds: Navigating Female Friendships and Healing Through Connection 42:40

Send us a text Has the curiosity of Trinity wounds ever tugged at your thoughts? We promise to unravel this intricate concept, grounded in intergenerational trauma, that subtly molds women's relationships and interactions. These three profound wounds, namely the mother, sister, and witch wounds, often breed feelings of betrayal and mistrust, making communal settings a daunting prospect. Let's traverse through personal experiences that spotlight the insidious culture of competition among women, leading to sister wounds. This silent rivalry isn't confined to particular spaces; it sneaks from high school corridors to corporate offices, shaping women's perceptions of success and belonging. The intensity sometimes triggers a tribal-like behavior, exacerbating the sister wounds. Does this sound familiar? As we share our unique perspectives on how sister wounds have touched our lives, we shed light on the risks and rewards of engaging in female friendships. As we wrap up our confab, we'll share our mission to create an environment radiating connection, healing, and love. To add a twist of rejuvenation, we'll explore the essence of participating in the 2023 Goddess TEA retreat. So, let's turn the dial of understanding and empathy up a notch.

Send us a text We are excited to have Adrienne Moore from The Center for Healing and Justice through Sport back on Spill the TEA. Our co-hosts continue their conversation with Adrienne in part 2, where she opens up about her personal journey, provides coaches with new resources, discusses ways to encourage girls to participate in sports, and dives into the book What Happened to You with us. Get your favorite drink and join us- we saved a seat for you. Check out the new Coach's resource Noting Heals Like Sport here. "After more than three years of living through a global health emergency – which caused both an unimaginable amount of direct loss and laid bare the inequity of social structures that have systematically and intentionally traumatized and marginalized minority groups for centuries – young people are struggling. Struggling to carry the weight of the chaos, of the disruption, of the trauma. In today’s climate, we’re asking more of coaches than ever before. Modern coaching has proven to all that the quality of the coach-athlete relationship is the primary predictor for an athlete’s performance. And without an expanded tool set, coaches can feel frustrated as they work to meet the diverse needs of their athletes. Nothing Heals Like Sport – A New Playbook for Coaches gives coaches these tools. These are the tools that help them center their athletes and understand what happens as athletes develop. These are the tools to support athletes through adversity- whether that adversity comes only on the court or is part of their athlete’s lived experience. These are the tools that help coaches, so coaches can then help athletes. Our partnership with Dr. Bruce D. Perry M.D., Ph.D., and the Neurosequential Network has fueled the development of this playbook. These skills and strategies are an intentional merging of Dr. Perry’s core, groundbreaking concepts and the coaching expertise and connected community of the Center for Healing and Justice through Sport. We believe these tools will help YOU so that you can then support your athletes in all the ways a modern athlete requires. We also know that when your athletes feel supported and take ownership of their team, you win more games (a lot more games). The spaces where athletes perform their best athletically are exactly those spaces where they feel safe, seen and encouraged to be their whole selves. They are the spaces of healing-centered, brain-based coaching. ~Center for Healing & Justice Through Sport" Join us this fall at the 2025 Women Rise Retreat.
