Questions this episode will answer: -How do you find inspiration to pivot? -What are some signs that your job is not a good fit? -How can the act of making tea be calming? -How can environments provide safety from stress?

At Teatopia®, our mission is “Brewing better lives one leaf at a time.” I developed this mission because I aim to have a positive impact on every single person and connection we have. Every single person is fighting a different battle every day; we want to be the piece that changes the way that the day flows for others. Teatopia® was also created to show our youth and others that we can create our own path. We do not need to live life vicariously and dream what others want us to dream. We can create our own realities.
