The Tea: Grief at Work & How to Manage Your Career During Loss
Some people treat uncertainty like a mindset challenge—but for guest Colleen Nichols, it’s real life. Living with a genetic diagnosis that has no cure and losing her father to the same disease, Colleen still built a multimillion-dollar business and a thriving online community. The bestselling author of Don’t Make It Weird: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Being Human on the Internet, Colleen joins Ryanne to talk about what it means to keep showing up when grief follows you into the workplace.

Episode Eight: The Tea: Just Breathe - Yoga Mats, Mantras, and Messy Healing
I?m joined by Moronke Ogundele, a doctor of physical therapy and yoga instructor to talk about how grief shows up in the body - and what it looks like to gently move through it. We explore why ?just breathe? can feel impossible, but the one that will help the most. How yoga became part of my healing (even when I wanted to roll my mat up and walk out), and why small, compassionate practices matter when everything feels broken. If you have ever wondered how to feel grounded in your body again, this conversation is for you.

Episode Seven - The Tea: Mimosas, Mumus, and the Moms Who Hold Me Together
Sometimes the family you are born into are not family - only relatives. And, if you’re really lucky your chosen family becomes the links you never knew you needed in life. This episode, I’m joined by two of my best friends Rachel Misenar and Devyn Baklini. They have sat with me in the mess, poured the mimosas, and reminded me I’m still here. We talk about showing up for others, what support really looks like (and what it doesn’t!), and how friendship can be its own form of mothering. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold space for someone you love - or how to let them hold you - this conversation is for you.
