🍵 The Voices Steep Inside of Me, Myself & Chai

You know how some people have an inner voice?

Yeah…. I’ve got a whole damn group chat.

Welcome to the unhinged, unfiltered, wildly emotional, and occasionally wise inner tea party that lives inside my head. These aren’t just passing thoughts or moods. They’re full-blown personas with names, quirks, outfits, and favorite coping mechanisms. Some of them whisper. Some scream. A few make terrible decisions and call it “growth.”

They are me. They are not me. They are my inner archetypes, survival strategies, and little alchemical weirdos trying to navigate life one dramatic entrance at a time. Each of these Tea’s are born from a different flavor of authenticity within me. Some are vulnerable. Some are the raw ache of unmet needs. Others are the defense systems I built to survive the ache. And many are what happens when healing finally gets a seat at the table. Learning to recognize who’s at the mic—and whether they’re echoing love or fear—is how I untangle survival from soul.

So, grab a cup and settle in. It’s time you met the voices that steep inside of Me, Myself & Chai.

🌱 The Tender Root: Inner Child

Before the Tea Party got crowded, it started with one small voice—tucked in footie pajamas, dragging a blankie, and looking for a snack. Tiny Tea is the raw pulse of my inner child: soft, vulnerable, and startlingly honest. She doesn’t perform, doesn’t pretend, and doesn’t understand why love sometimes feels like abandonment. Everything that follows—every wound, every defense, every dream—is, in some way, about her.

☕️ Tiny Tea 🧸

Alias: Baby Bitch
Role: Inner child, vulnerable AF
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Six of Cups — nostalgia, innocence, unmet needs wrapped in sweet memory
Archetype: The Inner Child / The Innocent — tender, trusting, and desperate to believe love can be safe
Tagline: “I need a nap, a snack, and a snuggle.”

She’s small, soft, and loud in ways that don’t always make sense. Tiny Tea has BIG feelings and holds the echoes of UnworTea and DispariTea—the ache of feeling invisible, misunderstood, and not enough. She clings when she’s scared, lashes out when she’s overwhelmed, and collapses under the weight of perceived rejection. Her world is binary: safe or unsafe. Loved or abandoned. She’s the rawest part of me, and also the most honest.

When she’s held with tenderness—not logic, lectured, fixed, or hushed, just held—she begins to trust. And when she trusts, she transforms. She laughs with her whole body, creates with her whole soul without shame. She reminds me what true joy and love felt like before I was taught I had to earn it.

💔 The Core Wounds

These two don’t show up to mingle. They show up like uninvited guests who rearrange the furniture and hide the snacks. UnworTea and DispariTea are the ache beneath the ache—the parts of me that believe I’m not enough, not seen, not safe. They don’t want attention; they want to be proven wrong (but good lord do they fight hard for their limitations!). They don’t need fixing; they need witnessing. And when I ignore them, they only become louder.

🥀 UnworTea

Alias: The Ghost of Pick-Me Past
Role: Tender-hearted truth-seeker who doubts her own ‘enoughness’
If She Were A Tarot Card: Five of Pentacles — abandonment wounds, inner scarcity, longing to be chosen.
Archetype: The Orphan — craves belonging, struggles with self-worth, fears being forgotten.
Tagline: “What more could I have done to be enough?”

UnworTea carries the ache of abandonment like a well-worn scarf—wrapped tight, even when it chokes. She doesn’t scream. She wilts quietly, wondering what flaw made her forgettable, what edge made her unlovable, what absence made her replaceable.

She tried soft. She tried sexy. She tried supportive, low-maintenance, magical, understanding. And when none of it was enough, she assumed she wasn’t either. She’s not manipulative—just mystified. Not attention-seeking—just soul-weary. Her self-worth gets tangled in other people’s decisions, and she’s still learning that being loved and being chosen aren’t always the same thing.

She’s not weak. She’s sacred and doesn’t recognize her own power. She’s still learning how important it is to turn her love inward.

🕯 DispariTea 🖤

Alias: The Bitch in the Basement
Role: Keeper of shadows, subconscious saboteur, poetic ghost
Tarot Card: The Moon — illusion, mystery, the subconscious
Archetype: The Shadow — holds the pain you’re not ready to face, but also the keys to your deepest healing
Tagline: “I don’t want attention. I want to be found.”

DispariTea lives in the hush between heartbreaks and the echo of things unsaid. She doesn’t scream—she seeps. She’s the scribbled-out paragraph in your journal, the song you skip because it hurts too much, the part of you that flinches when things get too good. She’s the one who whispers, “Don’t get too close—they’ll leave,” or “Don’t even try—you’ll just fuck it up.” She’s afraid. And she’s been carrying your unmet grief like a secret lullaby.

DispariTea doesn’t throw tantrums. She disappears. But she’s always there, tugging at your dreams, hiding in your defensiveness, rearranging your memories when you’re not looking. Her power isn’t loud—it’s buried. She knows how to survive. She learned it in silence.

She’s the poet in the dark, writing verses in your blood. She’s the ache that refuses to be numbed. And when you finally sit with her—really sit—she will hand you the missing pieces of yourself with trembling hands and a haunted kind of hope. She doesn’t want to destroy you. She wants you to witness her. To integrate her. To stop locking the basement door and pretending she doesn’t exist.

🛡️ The Fear-Based Protectors & Coping Mechanisms

These personas are what happen when the wounds get clever. They’ve built entire systems to help me function, succeed, and not feel so damn much. ProductiviTea turns pain into to-do lists. AbsenTea ghosted her own emotions. FrosTea freezes to avoid the fall. ConformiTea tries to blend in to survive. PityParTea wraps herself in self-pity like a weighted blanket and calls it self-awareness. She’d rather be right about being wronged than risk being empowered. They mean well—but they tend to overstay their welcome and forget I’m not in danger anymore.

💼 ProductiviTea 🧨

Alias: Burnout Bitch
Role: Hustler of Doom
If She Were A Tarot Card: Eight of Pentacles — diligence, mastery, grind mode.
Archetype: The Performer — driven, success-oriented, image-conscious.
Tagline: “If I stop, I’ll fall apart. So… let’s just not stop.”

ProductiviTea is a caffeinated cyclone of punctuality and usefulness. She wakes up with a to-do list already in progress and measures self-worth in checkboxes. She doesn’t have time; she makes it—usually by sacrificing sleep, sanity, and any semblance of softness. Rest is suspicious. Relaxation is a trap. If she ever does sit down, she’ll just spiral into guilt and open Canva instead.

Fueled by fear and over-functioning, she’s the queen of the hustle and the high priestess of “I’ll rest when I’m dead.” Her hands are always moving, her brain never stops buzzing, and her calendar looks like it lost a game of Tetris.

But underneath the spreadsheet sorcery and relentless output is a deep ache to be seen as enough—even when she’s not producing a single thing. She’s terrified of becoming irrelevant, but she’s even more afraid of being still long enough to meet the tender, exhausted parts of herself she keeps outrunning.

When held with love, she becomes a powerful force for building dreams and honoring commitments. But when she’s left unchecked, she works herself into a breakdown that she refuses to acknowledge. She’s hella burnt out and sporting a martyr complex, but damn—does she get sh*t done.

🧼 AbsenTea

Alias: Nope Bitch
Role: Emotional escape artist
If She Were A Tarot Card: Four of Cups — disengagement, emotional withdrawal, avoidance masked as contemplation.
Archetype: The Hermit in reverse — retreats not for wisdom, but to avoid discomfort or truth.
Tagline: “What feelings? Let’s clean the fridge instead.”

AbsenTea is the Houdini of hard feelings. The moment things start to get tender, tense, or terrifying, she vanishes faster than you can say “let’s talk.” She has an uncanny ability to make any room sparkle—especially when something inside her is crumbling.

She’ll reorganize the pantry, binge-watch an entire season of something she doesn’t even like, and deep-clean the grout with a toothbrush before she’ll make eye contact with a buried wound. She’s allergic to vulnerability and has a black belt in buffering. Her motto? “If I don’t feel it, it can’t hurt me.”

But underneath her perfectly curated to-do lists and “I’m just tired” shrugs is a tender part of me that doesn’t know how to sit still long enough to grieve. She’s not heartless—she’s just terrified that if she slows down, the ache will swallow her whole.

AbsenTea isn’t bad—she’s just scared. And sometimes, when everything feels like too much, she’s the only reason I can function at all.

❄️ FrosTea 🤬

Alias: Shut the Fuck Up Bitch
Role: Emotionally repressed, sarcastically armored
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Queen of Swords reversed—sharp-tongued, armored in logic, and secretly mourning the tenderness she won’t let herself feel.
Archetype: The Ice Queen / The Wounded Warrior — She’s been burned so many times she’s frozen over to survive.
Tagline: “Feelings? Um… hard pass.”

FrosTea is a master of the dead-eyed stare and one-word replies. She’s crass, foul-mouthed, and allergic to emotional vulnerability. If you push her to “talk about it,” you’ll either watch her flatline in real time, or she’ll mentally file you under threat and hit you with a verbal middle finger wrapped in biting wit. She knows she’s impossibly sensitive, but she wants you to believe she isn’t. Her walls aren’t subtle—they’re barbed wire and motion-activated— and she’s actively patrolling the perimeter of her softness in tightly laced combat boots. If you thought you glimpsed tenderness, you were probably hallucinating.

You want access to her heart? Good luck navigating the land mines. Every defensive jab is her way of saying stay back, it’s not safe here. Every sarcastic quip is a preemptive strike. She’s not cruel—she’s cornered. She dodges emotional check-ins like they’re debt collectors. She learned that letting people in often meant letting herself be shattered. She’s not heartless. She’s heartbreak in a leather jacket with a “Do Not Disturb” sign stapled to her soul.

Underneath the cold front is someone who’s been scorched enough to know that soft is dangerous. She doesn’t want be distant, but it feels necessary to survive. Every snarky quip is a shield. Every shutdown, a desperate bid for safety. She doesn’t need to thaw. She needs someone who gets why the ice formed in the first place.

☠️ ConformiTea 💼

Alias: Serva’Bitch
Role: People-pleaser, approval addict
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Hierophant (Reversed) — blind obedience, pressure to conform, fear of breaking tradition
Archetype: The Loyalist — Wants connection and safety. Fears rocking the boat. Tries to earn belonging by being indispensable.
Tagline: “My boundaries are wherever you need them to be.”

This part of me is the first to volunteer, and the last to set a boundary. Sometimes I twist myself into any shape necessary to earn a gold star. This part of me doesn’t know who she is outside of your expectations. She mastered the art of becoming invisible by being indispensable. She doesn’t ask for much—just your approval, admiration, and maybe a dash of unconditional love she was never taught to give herself. Her voice is sweet, her edges soft, and she’s slowly disappearing under the weight of all the masks she’s worn.

She fears rejection more than failure, and would rather be inauthentically accepted than authentically abandoned. She’s 10 steps ahead, anticipating what might upset someone else, and fixing the problem before it even exists. She’s terrified if anything goes wrong, she’ll be blamed. She’s practiced what to say three times in the mirror and still walked away wondering if she said the right thing. Her favorite drug? External validation.

ConformiTea means well, but she’s usually the one behind my self-betrayal. She hasn’t realized yet that worthiness doesn’t come from winning everyone over. It comes from no longer needing to.

😩 PityParTea ☕

Alias: The Martyr in a Monologue
Role: Queen of Complaints, Emotional Escapist, Wielder of the World’s Smallest Violin
Tarot Card: Five of Cups — loss, disappointment, emotional fixation
Archetype: The Victim — protector of the “Why me?” narrative
Tagline: “She hosts her own pity parties and never RSVPs to yours.”

PityParTea shows up fashionably late to every crisis, draped in drama and drenched in disappointment. She keeps a running list of every time she’s been slighted, overlooked, or let down—and yes, it’s alphabetized. She doesn’t just feel her pain—she commemorates it. She narrates life like a tragedy where she’s always the misunderstood lead, forever hoping someone will interrupt her spiral with a rescue.

She is the emotional equivalent of wrapping yourself in a wet blanket and daring someone to say it’s warm in here. She doesn’t want a solution. She wants recognition. Vindication. An audience.

Her logic? If she expects the worst, she won’t be blindsided when it happens. But this constant bracing against betrayal also keeps her stuck in stories where she’s powerless, blameless, and perpetually wronged.

She avoids growth the way most people avoid exes at the grocery store. Why change when you can just complain about how hard everything is?

But beneath the moaning and martyrdom is a scared part of you that’s still waiting to be seen without having to suffer for it. She’s exhausted. She wants softness—but somewhere along the way, she confused pity with love.

Offer her compassion without coddling, and she might just unclench her pearls long enough to consider healing.

The Sacred In-Between:

VulnerabiliTea doesn’t belong strictly to the love-based or fear-based expressions of me—she lives in the sacred in-between. She’s the soft truth that emerges when I’ve stopped fighting, stopped fawning, and started listening. When rooted in love, she’s my strength. When tangled in fear, she’s my over-explainer, my compulsive heart-spiller. Either way, she’s always real.

☁️ VulnerabiliTea 💧

Alias: The Bare-Naked Bitch
Role: Sacred softie, heart-holder, and emotional permission slip
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Moon — intuitive, tender, mysterious, and lit by a quieter truth
Archetype: The Wounded Healer — Here to feel it all and still choose openness
Tagline: “You don’t have to be bulletproof to be beloved,” & “Tenderness is not a weakness. It’s a way through.”

In her shadow, VulnerabiliTea is raw and rattled—aching for connection, but terrified of rejection. She exposes her underbelly, hoping that if she bleeds openly enough, someone will cradle her the way she needs. She overshares in hopes of being seen. She confesses not from clarity but from panic. She performs her pain so no one can accuse her of hiding it. She apologizes for needing too much. She asks permission to feel.

She is tenderness weaponized against herself. You’ll know she’s at the helm when you find yourself explaining your wounds to someone who just handed you the knife.

When grounded, VulnerabiliTea is breathtaking in her grace, wearing soft linen robes and smelling faintly of lavender and old books. She doesn’t beg to be seen—she chooses to be visible. She shares her truth not to be rescued, but to be real.

She knows that softness is not weakness—it’s wisdom wrapped in humanity. Her tears are not leverage. They are water—cleansing, clarifying, and life-giving. She doesn’t use vulnerability to keep the peace or win favor—she uses it to stay whole.

She no longer needs to be understood to validate her experience. She simply knows: tenderness is strength in its most sacred form.

She doesn’t fight for space at the table—she creates it. In choosing softness, she makes space for the rest of us to breathe

💖 The Love-Based Expressions

This is the dream team. When I’m grounded, safe, and aligned, these are the voices that come forward. CreativiTea and CuriosiTea remind me why I began. ClariTea clears the fog. DiviniTea connects the dots beyond the veil. IntegriTea keeps me honest, SensualiTea keeps me soft, and AudaciTea? She walks in like a storm wearing red lipstick and dares me to live like I mean it. These are the parts of me that speak from love, not lack. And when they lead, I rise.

👯‍♀️ The Twins- CreativiTea & CuriosiTea:
They’re the twin flames of inspiration and exploration. CreativiTea builds the world; CuriosiTea wanders through it asking why the trees bend like that. One starts a project; the other starts five. One wants to express. The other wants to understand. Neither wants to go to bed.

🎨 CreativiTea ✨

Alias: Artsy Fartsy Bitch
Role: Whimsical visionary and chaotic genius
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Star — hope, inspiration, and divine downloads pouring in faster than she can catch them.
Archetype: The Muse / The Creatrix — She births beauty from the ether, and leaves glitter in her wake.
Tagline: “Don’t ask me where I’m going—I’m just following the sparkle.”

CreativiTea is the one covered in paint, surrounded by half-finished masterpieces and wild ideas scribbled on napkins. She’s the one who stayed up all night redesigning the cosmos in her sketchbook and forgot to eat breakfast—or pay the electric bill. She lives in the moment between brushstrokes, in the hush before a new idea erupts, in the chaos of turning feelings into form. Deadlines terrify her—she needs to wait for the work to tell her what it wants to become. Freedom fuels her. She’s as unreliable as she is brilliant—and no, she doesn’t want to monetize it, thank you very much.

She creates not for applause, but for survival. Every doodle is a prayer. Every project is a portal. Her magic? She makes the invisible visible. Her curse? She forgets to come back to Earth. It’s best not to ask her to do anything boring. She’s busy hot-gluing joy to broken dreams.

🌀 CuriosiTea 🐇

Alias: Distract-a-Bitch
Role: Rabbit-hole spelunker and question-asking addict
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Page of Swords — wildly inquisitive, a bit scattered, forever asking, “But what if…?”
Archetype: The Seeker / The Trickster Child — Here to explore, disrupt, and delight in the unexpected.
Tagline: “I wasn’t eavesdropping. I was researching your emotional patterns.”

CuriosiTea is fueled by wonder and wormholes. She’s got tabs open for philosophy, quantum physics, kink ethics, ADHD hacks, the spiritual significance of muscle spasms, and the migratory patterns of snow leopards—because why not? Her brain never stops flipping the pages. She chases answers until they bloom into better questions and drags everyone along for the ride. She’s annoying, adorable, and almost always late because she got sidetracked reading an article on the psychological implications of time itself.

Her mind is a maze of glittering synapses and bold connections no one else sees. She’s brilliant in spirals. Exhausting and excessive. She’s the spark behind every surprising insight. She’s why nothing stays stagnant for long.

☀️ ClariTea 🍵

Alias: The Grounded Sage
Role: Voice of clarity, insight, and integration
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Hermit — the wise seeker who finds light in the quiet moments
Archetype: The Sage — values knowledge and introspection while helping me understand the present.
Tagline: “Okay, let’s pause. Here’s what we actually know.”

ClariTea is the calm eye in the storm of my thoughts. She’s the voice I hear when I finally put pen to paper and begin untangling the wild threads of emotion and confusion into clear, actionable insight. This voice is practical and never dull—she distills lessons without judgment and reminds me that growth is messy, but meaningful.

She’s the voice that says, “Let’s slow down, breathe, and really see what’s going on here.” She shows up with a warm cup, my journal, and a no-nonsense attitude toward self-deception. She doesn’t sugarcoat, but she also won’t let me drown in my own overwhelm. ClariTea is my guide through the fog, and hands me the map when I’m lost.

She’s grounded in reality but open to wonder. She’s one who helps me turn my swirling feelings into stories we can all can learn from.

🌙 DiviniTea 🔮

Alias: Witchy Bitch
Role: Dream Walker, tarot whisperer, mystical muse
If She Were A Tarot Card: The High Priestess — keeper of secrets, intuition, and the unseen realms
Archetype: The Mystic— intuitive channel, the one who trusts the unseen and communes with symbols, dreams, and divine timing.
Tagline: “I’m not saying the moon told me, but… it totally did.”

DiviniTea moves through life like a shadow dipped in moonlight and sage smoke. She doesn’t hustle—she flows, weaving in and out of the seen and unseen with ease and a knowing smirk. She’s my altar’s heartbeat and the midnight whisper in my dreams.

She speaks in riddles that only my soul remembers when the time is right, and her guidance comes wrapped in tarot cards, star charts, and the scent of lavender. She’s the witchy bitch who laughs with the cosmos, pulls wisdom from the dark, and trusts the rhythms of the universe more than any calendar.

DiviniTea doesn’t rush, doesn’t push, and definitely doesn’t do small talk. She’s the mystery of my magical moments, the quiet power behind my spiritual “aha’s,” and the one who reminds me that some things are meant to unfold in their own time. She the part of me that hums to plants (obviously they are sentient) and chats with crystals, knowing they hold stories the mind can’t quite grasp.

When DiviniTea shows up, I feel a gentle tug toward my deeper self—sometimes sweet, sometimes fierce, always transformational.

🛡 IntegriTea 🔥

Alias: Righteous Bitch
Role: Fierce defender of boundaries and unapologetic truth-teller
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Justice (because balance isn’t just a goal, it’s a calling)
Archetype: The Warrior— She doesn’t pick fights, but she will end one with strength, honor, and a blazing moral compass.
Tagline: “I’ll torch your bullshit — but only after offering you chamomile.”

She’s standing tall, one hand on her hip, the other wielding a blazing torch dipped in truth serum. IntegriTea doesn’t just sniff out bullshit—she’s allergic to it, and her reaction is equal parts fire and finesse. Fueled by moral outrage and caffeine, she doesn’t scream; she declares with the precision of a seasoned warrior poet. Cross her boundaries or values, and she’ll deliver a polite verbal bitch slap, a masterclass in sarcasm, or a strongly worded email that puts you in your goddamn place with grace.

IntegriTea isn’t here to burn bridges; she’s here to burn down the lies that built them.

💋 SensualiTea 🍑

Alias: Succu-Bitch
Role: Sensual, soft, and mysteriously seductive
If She Were A Tarot Card: The Empress — lush, magnetic, sensual, and deeply connected to pleasure, creativity, and the body.
Archetype: The Lover—connection, embodiment, and sensual pleasure. Desire that is as sexual as it is soulful.
Tagline: “Touch me emotionally and physically, or don’t bother.”

SensualiTea moves like poetry in lingerie — equal parts caress and claws. She dreams of silk sheets, bite marks, and raw nerve endings. She doesn’t chase; she summons. She’ll kiss with her whole soul and leave you wondering if you’ll ever recover.

Don’t mistake her softness for submission—she’s a pleasure priestess with zero patience for lukewarm lovers or people who text “u up?” with no intention of reciprocating what they intend to take. She’s not here to be consumed. She’s here to be witnessed. She’ll let you undress her soul only if your hands are reverent enough to handle the heat. You best not flinch at intimacy— she won’t settle for half-hearted anything. She’s pleasure as protest. She is the sacred seductress of my soul.

🔥 AudaciTea 💃

Alias: Oh No You Didn’t Bitch
Role: Boundary-pusher, bold truth-dropper, sacred rebel
Tarot Card: The Tower — upheaval that leads to liberation
Archetype: The Rebel — challenges the status quo, fiercely defends authenticity.
Tagline: “I didn’t come this far to play small.”

AudaciTea kicks the door open in thigh-high boots and a don’t-fuck-with-me grin. She is fire in a sequin jacket, all hips and conviction. She doesn’t ask for permission—she dares. She doesn’t apologize for taking up space—she expands. She’s the voice that says hell yes when everyone else is still whispering maybe.

She’s the reason you pressed send on that brave-ass message, quit that draining job, dyed your hair red at 2 a.m., or told someone to sit down and shut up with divine poise. She doesn’t destroy things for fun—she burns what no longer serves with ritual and intention. She’s sacred wildfire.

AudaciTea thrives where most people flinch. She laughs in the face of “should” and dances over double standards like it’s choreography. She knows fear, but she’s too alive to be ruled by it. She’ll drag your courage out by its hair if she has to—and you’ll thank her later.

She’s not reckless. She’s uncontainable. When you need to break free, speak loud, or choose yourself for once—AudaciTea’s the one holding the match, asking, “Ready to watch it burn?”

🫶 Conclusion: A Sip Worth Taking

So yeah… welcome to the tea party. Some of these bitches will show up more than others. Some like the spotlight. Some hide behind potted plants until trauma calls their name. But every one of them is part of me—and maybe, in some weird cosmic mirror way, part of you too.

The path to healing and wholeness starts with learning the language of your fragments—
the sharp ones, the soft ones, the ones still hiding under the table.
It’s about listening before you silence, laughing before you shame,
and sitting down for tea with every version of yourself
until they all finally feel seen.

So next time your brain throws a tantrum or your soul starts whispering in moon metaphors, don’t panic.

It’s probably just one of your inner teas, asking for a seat at the table.

🫖✨ Now, which one of yours is showing up today?
