Show Notes
We think misunderstandings come from bad intentions.
Most of the time, they come from unmet needs.
In this tender episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica explore the everyday ways we misread each other—and how much pain could be softened if we paused before assuming.
From the over-explainer who’s just trying to feel safe, to the quiet one who learned that speaking up didn’t help, to the joker using humor as armor—we unpack the hidden stories beneath common behaviors.
This is not about fixing people.
It’s about understanding them.
Because when we respond with patience instead of judgment, we don’t just calm the moment—we heal something old.
Pour a cup, slow down, and listen for what’s underneath. 🍯🫖
☕ Most people aren’t trying to be difficult.
They’re trying to feel safe with the tools they were given.
This episode is a gentle reminder to pause before assuming, listen before labeling, and remember that every habit was once a solution.
Tender tea. Big heart. 🍵💛
