01: Your life can look right on paper and still feel wrong in your body.
It can be a confusing place to find yourself.
You’re doing what you should do, keeping all the plates spinning and holding it together.
But a part of you has lost it’s spark.
In Hannah Buchan’s case, the shift started with one frustrated sentence in the kitchen:
“I just want to feel alive.”
That was her clue.
For the first time, she had something real to work with.
So you don’t need to blow up your whole life.
Just pause for tea and ask yourself:
“What would help me feel a little more alive today?”
You can hear Hannah’s episode on The Tea Mind podcast wherever you listen.
p.s. For your pause for tea this week, I recommend Blooming Marvellous & other teas here.

Thanks for pausing for tea with me today.
