Tea With Adri

Today was a bad day, through and through.

But this time, it wasn't because of my mental health. It was just life, lifein'.

And I'm so thankful for that.

If you weren’t valuable, you wouldn’t exist.

Stop arguing with creation.

Not all risks land. But it's worth taking them. You just never know who will need you to have the bravery to take it.

I decided to take a risk on stream.

On an incredibly stimulating loud site, I decided to guide chat into 7 mins of silence w guided mindfulness.

Everything muted, emote mode only, just my voice. I could have lost my viewership.

But they all stayed. And it’s now one of their new favorite segments.

It was like I blinked and all the athletes in the Olympics and Super Bowl are younger than me how

I played this tonight! Maybe we’ll get to catch each other sometime! 🤍

All it takes is one person to get others to join.

One person to join the server when someone is playing alone before others join. One person to donate for others to follow. One uplifting comment to the streamer on a hard day to get flooded with kindness.

“Look for the helpers.” - Mr. Rogers’ mom.

Doubt isn’t a lack of trust. It’s a 100% trust in something you don’t prefer.

Choose what you prefer to trust in.

You've made it buddy lol (hate that it is this way though ugh!)

I hate how I read the first line of your tweet then this was the next one below it LOL 😭https://bsky.app/profile/brymo.bsky.social/post/3mdnpfz74nk2t

He was really pulling her closer and not letting go of her hand

The most powerful thing my therapist said to me today was,

If you're not eating well, not sleeping well, not taking meds in time, etc... Your shield is weak.

You cannot defend yourself easily from the stressors of life & your emotions if you are not adequately equipping yourself.

I told him he didn't have to do that, esp sit beside me, fearing he'd have trouble getting up. He said, "No, why would I leave? People shouldn't just walk away when there are uncomfortable emotions. We have to help each other. God forbid it happens to me and someone leaves me alone." Bless him. 🤍

Shoutout to Barret at Lowe's who I had a GREAT convo with for maybe 20mins, then I felt unwell and almost passed out when my blood sugar dropped. He gave me his pocket granola bar, got a sports drink for me, and at 70 years old, he sat on the hard floor with me til I recovered.

People at the bottom see competition.
People at the top see collaborators.

Moving from a scarcity to abundance mindset is realizing there’s enough for everyone.

About an hour ago I finished drafting the entire stream convo for tomorrow (today) on Identity: How your Beliefs Shape You. It just flowed! We’re gonna chat about the origin of your beliefs, the most common core beliefs, and how to transform them... It’s gonna be good 💚

Today I had a rare med interaction and was in a lot of pain, to the point I considered emergency care. But I made it and still was able to stream a full four hours.

I’m getting stronger, and I’m not giving up. Thank you Body for being so strong for me.

3hrs of sound alerts lol and so much cheering this year! 👏 Established some classics but just refreshed some sound alerts for 2026! @soundalerts.com #MyYearWithSoundAlerts

You mean tag @soundalerts.com ? There's no soundalertsapp

Now I'm not a fan of insurance companies, but shoutout to Jody with United who closed our call with "I hope you have a great rest of your day, and make sure to drink some water!" I told him, "Thank you, and make sure you get some good sleep!" He was so happy, how wholesome 🥹

Megaphone was underrated imo! But also, I've still seen StreamerU used, and he's already announced a round 2. Makes you wonder.

I've tried to win approval for too long in my younger years. It's tiring and not worth it.

I love that! I mean without the "being able to cuddle everyone" part. I like to see it as, "It's not you vs me. It's us vs the problem."

Change isn't weakness. It's alignment.

Hmm. Idk if it's enough to label them narcissism, because some people are actually driven by "proving people wrong" even if that party doesn't care. But I so much hear where you're going with that, "making them the center of it".

Added, I don’t care about competition. The people at the bottom see competitors, the people at the top see collaborators. I’d rather have the mindset of the latter, the former must be exhausting.

Is it weird to not care to “prove people wrong”? I really don’t feel the desire to prove or provide evidence of myself to anyone in my relationships. Maybe that died with my competitive music career, but I’m not working for approval from you. I’m working for approval of myself.

I know it's scary out here... But is anyone claiming 2026 to be their year??

3am. Shoutout to RishiTea’s London Fog for getting me through the night to finish my first ever tiktok vid. This year’s social media game is gonna be different… So many vids in drafts but really happy with how this one turned out and excited (but also terrified) to post it later today.
