Emp-A-Tea was an idea I had to bring people together in an effort to help them deal with difficulties without judgment. Nothing is off limits. It’s for people who truly want to help others through sharing their stories or remedies to help get you feeling better. A safe place to talk about the things that can keep one up at night.

Emp-A-Tea topics might deal with loss or grief, raising a child with a disability, physical or mental health struggles, trauma, or anything else that might disrupt your bliss. While I don’t claim to be a medical professional, I am a person who has experienced some of these difficulties firsthand. It’s my aim to help you navigate these difficulties so you don’t have to go through them alone.

Let’s talk about what is helpful and what isn’t. Emp-A-Tea is a community of people who are looking at ways to unite instead of letting differences divide us. It’s a place for healing, encouragement and understanding. There are no rules per se. I ask for kindness from all. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. If it isn’t kind, don’t say it or you will be removed.

Emp-A-Tea isn’t only about doom and gloom, it’s for anything that can help improve someone's life in a small way. A reminder to look for the daily glimmers, to spread joy by random acts of kindness, or simply just sharing your favorite recipe. I want to hear what lights you up! Emp-A-Tea is about helping one another to live their best life. Whatever that means to you. I want it to be a safe and happy reminder about the beautiful world we live in and how we can make it even better through friendship and empathy for each other.
