In this 20-minute episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica unpack a quiet but dangerous shift happening in modern advertising: images that rewrite history instead of reflecting it.

Using a recent sports commercial as a case study, they explore how visual storytelling now blurs the line between hype and false memory—showing moments that never actually happened and trusting viewers won’t question them. This isn’t about being anti-advertising. It’s about media literacy, nervous-system awareness, and why our brains register images as truth faster than words.

From sports to politics, health, and finance, this episode explains why visual misinformation is accelerating, how it reshapes collective memory, and what we can do to stay grounded, clear-eyed, and awake. Calm conversation. No yelling. Just morning-tea clarity for a noisy world.

☕ Images move faster than facts. And once pictures replace truth, memory gets rewritten. This episode is your reminder to keep your eyes clear—and your thinking yours. ☕🫖

Most people never notice the hands that hold the highways together.

In this Spill the Tea with D & E episode, we spotlight Highway Angels — a real, nationally recognized program created by the Truckload Carriers Association that honors professional truck drivers who stop to help others in moments of real need.

From stranded motorists and medical emergencies to crisis intervention and lifesaving acts, these drivers don’t wear capes — they wear work boots and keep America moving while the rest of us sleep.

This episode is not about politics or praise-seeking.

It’s about gratitude.

It’s about noticing who shows up when no one else does.

And it’s about remembering that kindness still travels the long roads.

If you’ve ever broken down, felt invisible, or wondered whether decency still exists — this one’s for you.

📣 When everyone else drives past, truckers stop. 🚛💛

This episode is a thank-you to the real-life Highway Angels who keep our roads — and our humanity — moving.

Anxiety is often described as worry.

But worry is only the surface.

In this episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, we explore a powerful reframe:

Anxiety isn’t fear. It’s being early.

When your mind lives in the future while your body stays in the present, the nervous system never gets the signal to stand down. The result isn’t overthinking. It’s unresolved readiness.

Dominique and Erica break down why anxiety feels so physical, why thinking your way out rarely works, and what calm actually is. Not positive thinking. Not control. Presence.

This conversation is for high performers, caretakers, planners, and anyone whose mind is always one step ahead of their body.

Because anxiety doesn’t ease when the future becomes certain.

It eases when you stop living in it prematurely.

Pour a cup. Come back to now.
