What does self-love really mean, from bubble baths and roses to self-acceptance and forgiveness?

In this heart-opening Valentine’s conversation, I’m joined by the luminous Rachelle Mecca — thrice-published poet, multi-media artist, tea goddess, and host of the soulful podcast Speaking of Tea.

Together we steep in a deliciously feminine, honest, and expansive conversation about:

✨ Self-love as a daily devotion
🍵 The ritual and symbolism of tea
📖 Poetry as healing and truth-telling
🎙️ Podcasting as creative expression
💫 Astrology, authenticity, and living aligned
💌 Valentine’s Day beyond romance
🌹 Reclaiming passion, joy, and inner radiance

This is a juicy, playful, soul-rich dialogue between two women devoted to creativity, consciousness, and living from the heart.

This one feels extra special. Rachelle is just my second guest ever, and I also stepped into a new space myself by being a guest for the first time on someone else’s show. To have that experience on her beautiful podcast, where I felt so welcomed and nourished, made it even sweeter. A genuine creative exchange between kindred spirits.

Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle in, and join us for a conversation that feels like sitting at a candlelit table with your wisest, most poetic friend.

And yes… you might hear my little love toddler chiming in here and there. This is podcasting on the move in motherhood, with tea, poetry, and real life all in one delicious blend.

Happy Valentine’s Day to every kind of love: romantic, soulful, friendship, and the beautiful love you cultivate within. May it waterfall into all your relations, situations, and doings.
