Thyme 4 Tea with Mikita
By Mikita Smith, #SelfCare #Motivation #WellnessJourney #BeautifullyUnbalanced
Welcome to Thym 4 Tea with Mikita, a podcast about letting go of the pressure to have it all together and learning to live life on your terms.
Hosted by Mikita—a nurse, storyteller, and wellness advocate— each episode explores the moments that shape us, shake us, and sometimes save us.
We talk about the things that matter: healing, identity, boundaries, burnout, family, self-trust, and the quiet strength it takes to start over or simply keep going.
Expect personal stories, unfiltered reflections, guest conversations, and gentle challenges that meet you where you are and invite you to go deeper.
Because this isn’t just about self-care—it’s about reclaiming your time, your voice, and your rhythm in a world that keeps asking for more.
So take a breath.
And let’s spill some real tea
