Therapy Talk, Navigating Broken Engagement, Parent's Divorce, and Starting a Business

Hi fam!

In this episode I’m opening up about my journey with therapy, which started back in 2016 when I first had doubts about my engagement, and again after making the painful decision to end it. That began the canon event which led to the year that I now look back on as a huge turning point. 2017 was one of the most traumatic years of my life, filled with significant events that changed everything, and I often think of it as the moment my life split into two chapters: life before, and life after.

Since then, I’ve gone through multiple rounds of therapy, and I want to share my experiences to help de-stigmatise getting support, as well as offer some tips on what to look for when choosing a therapist.

This episode is a little heavier and I do briefly touch on eating disorders, so please listen with care. If you find this triggering, I’ve included links to support services below.

I actually recorded this episode in October 2024, and it's wild to see how much has changed since then!! I’m now engaged to the person I knew was my future husband even back then, and I’ve also decided to close my business six months later, a story I’ll share more of in a future episode.

✨ Thank you so much for tuning in. If this episode resonated with you, please follow @teatalkswithtez, share it with a friend who might need some big sister tea, and connect with me on Instagram and TikTok (https://instagram.com/teatalkswithtez).
