Are You Living Your Life or Someone Else's Version of It?
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 hustleHow to stop using bubble baths to bandage burnoutThe subtle difference between self-preservation and self-nourishmentAnd 4 ways to bring intentional, honest self-care into your everyday lifeThis 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.Send us a textSupport the show#selfdevelopment #Wellness #thym4teawithmikita #manifest #purposefulliving #liveunapplogectically #freedom #podcast #womeninpodcast #podcastlife #empoweringwomen

Ep 131 Wellness Without Labels: Say What You Feel, Not What You’ve Been Told
In this episode of Thym 4 Tea with Mikita, we’re unpacking what happens when we stop labeling ourselves as "overwhelmed," "anxious," or "depressed"—and start getting real about what we’re actually feeling. Mikita shares how storytelling, emotional vocabulary, and tiny daily actions create space for healing, connection, and growth. With vulnerability and warmth, she walks us through her own journey of anxiety, imposter syndrome, and rediscovery, proving that wellness isn’t a one-size-fits-all path—it’s personal, portable, and rooted in truth.💡 Show Notes:🎧 Why the labels we use (like “stressed” or “burnt out”) might be holding us back📚 A powerful quote by Brené Brown and what it really means for healing📊 Shocking wellness stats (6.8 trillion market!)—and why that doesn't mean we're okay🧠 Why emotional vocabulary is the missing link in most wellness advice✨ Mikita’s personal story of anxiety, breathwork, and discovering the root emotion🛠️ Actionable tips for claiming micro-moments for self-care🧘🏽♀️ Simple practices you can start today: Box breathing, journaling, naming emotions💬 The real impact of saying, “I feel stretched thin” instead of just “I’m overwhelmed”🙌 A community call to try one small practice this week—DM me on IG @mikitasmith_ Send us a textSupport the show#selfdevelopment #Wellness #thym4teawithmikita #manifest #purposefulliving #liveunapplogectically #freedom #podcast #womeninpodcast #podcastlife #empoweringwomen
