Turning Thirty: Sipping on Acceptance with Ashley Kristeen Vega
This heart-to-heart is a dance between the tenderness of self-compassion and the rhythm of daily life's relentless pace. We tackle the art of self-parenting, a concept that intertwines the acknowledgement of our imperfections with the relentless pursuit of our dreams. You'll hear us muse about the equilibrium between granting ourselves leniency during life's storms and steadfastly keeping up with the mundane, like ensuring there's clean laundry. Sprinkled with personal memories, our dialogue is an invitation to nurture trust in oneself through dedicated self-care and to intentionally curate moments of tranquility and delight amidst our bustling existences. Sit back, sip your tea, and allow us to accompany you on this exploration of self-acceptance, with Ashley Kristeen Vega as our guest this week.

Navigating Life’s Challenges: Insights from Arnold Harper II
What happens when you take a leap of faith? Our guest, Arnold Harper II, did just that, leaving behind his job in Baltimore to pursue his dreams in New York City. From his humble beginnings, to his mother's undying support and an unexpected job offer, Arnold's inspiring journey is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of passion. This episode of Tea with TJ promises to leave you uplifted and motivated, as Arnold shares the pivotal moments that shaped his career as an actor, singer, and stylist.
Let's explore the profound effects of the pandemic on our social and mental well-being. Arnold and I discuss how the absence of social interactions during lockdown led to contrasting experiences—some found joy in close-knit living situations, while others grappled with isolation. We also tackle the complexities of readjusting to normalcy post-pandemic, from maintaining focus amid overwhelming circumstances to the surge of self-tape auditions. This candid conversation captures the shared and individual journeys of adaptation and healing during challenging times.
