362: Why I Created Chai Tonics (And What Most Wellness Brands Won’t Tell You)
Hey loves — today’s episode is so close to my heart. I’m pulling back the curtain and taking you inside a labor of love that’s been years in the making… the official launch of Chai Tonics, my first-ever wellness product made for busy mamas, high-achievers, and women like you and me who crave more calm, focus, and grounded rituals in our lives.
But this isn’t just about a product. I’m also walking you through the truth about what’s actually in many of the so-called “natural” wellness blends out there (and how I found out the hard way), what happens when your nervous system gets hijacked — by your partner, your kids, your team, or the chaos around you — and how to reclaim your peace through simple, powerful rituals.
This is a raw and honest share about the journey of creating something from scratch… and why I believe this tonic can be a sacred daily moment of nourishment and clarity for so many of us.
Mama, your nervous system deserves a pause. The Chai Tonics Ritual Starter Kit was made to help you reset with blends that support focus, calm, and energy—without the coffee crash. Create your sacred moment at https://chaitonics.com with code BRAVE for 15% off.
