Hello and welcome to the very first installment of Sweet Tea Talks! This will be a bi-Wednesday column to show my paid subscribers a little extra love. Picture this: It’s a lovely evening, we live in a cozy little town, you’re out for a post-dinner stroll and I’m sitting on my porch. Come on over, grab a seat in the rocker or on the swing, here’s a cold glass ‘a tea, have I got a story for YOU!

Topics will center around practices and secrets that have contributed to my happiness and peace. Fitness, finances, spirituality, cooking and baking, relationships, etc… and will be accompanied by a cute mood board for each post. I hope you enjoy these more intimate and casual conversations.

For this inaugural Tea Talk, I would love to delve further into a topic I brought up in Chapter 51 of my Monday essays, the specific mindset shift I made in the six months leading up to meeting my boyfriend, Alan.
