🍵 Episode 2: Father's Day Feels, Foot Pain & Flooring Fixes

On this special Father’s Day episode of Tea Thyme with J & J, we’re digging deep — not just into the headlines, but into our hearts.

We open the conversation with an honest look at men’s mental health, sharing powerful stats, lived experiences, and personal reflections on how our own fathers — whether present, absent, loving, or lacking — shaped our emotional landscape. This one gets personal, and it gets real.

Then, we pivot to what’s under our feet — literally — as we talk about the growing trend of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. From real estate upgrades to aching feet, we explore how flooring choices affect our joints, posture, and pain, especially in homes built on concrete slabs. Homeowners, listen up — your knees might thank you.

We also sip on a little current events tea, with thoughts on the recent military parade, the wave of protests, and the bigger questions about patriotism, spending priorities, and who gets heard in America.

It’s one part personal journey, one part health chat, one part real estate tip jar — and all steeped in truth.

In this kickoff episode, J & J dive into how to tell the difference between stress, anxiety, depression, and perimenopause — and why so many women struggle to sort it out. We talk about common symptoms, vitamins and supplements that may help, and how sleep and self-care play a role in mental health. Then we lighten it up with skydiving plans, fast food cravings (hello, In-N-Out Animal Fries & Freddie’s Steakburgers), and why our hilarious chats with ChatGPT keep us sane.

Real conversations on women's health, wellness, and life — with plenty of laughs along the way.
