About this listen

We love to call it “drive.”
But sometimes what we’re really doing is managing our anxiety with productivity.

In this episode of Taboo Tea, we’re unpacking control disguised as motivation — the kind that looks disciplined on the outside but feels exhausting on the inside. We’re talking about how survival patterns turn into pressure, why motivation is actually an emotion (not a character trait), and how faith can quietly slip into forcing when trust feels unsafe.

This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about loosening your grip.

If you’ve ever felt busy but not at peace…
motivated but secretly panicked…
or like slowing down feels irresponsible —

This cup is for you.
