The aesthetic industry loves to sell “self-care” — but what they’re really pushing? Hustle, burnout, and a whole lot of Botox-wrapped bullshit.In this real AF episode, Auric sits down with special guest Jess Cole, fellow practitioner, ritualist, and House of Alchemy member, for a no-holds-barred convo about what it’s really like behind the perfectly curated façade of beauty culture — and how they both said “hell no” to the grind and “yes” to radical, embodied healing.What to expect? Chaos. Truth. Breathwork. Laughs. And some sacred middle fingers.You’ll hear: • Why the aesthetic industry breeds burnout, not beauty • The lies we’re sold about “wellness” — and how to break free • How they reclaimed their power through alchemy, shadow work, and nervous system healing • And what it looks like to rebuild from the inside out (no filters required)This one’s for the witches with esthetician licenses, the rebels who are tired of hustling for worth, and the humans ready to break the spell of performative self-care.Because beauty doesn’t heal you — you heal you.Come sip more tea with Auric:🌈 Follow the chaos, truth bombs + magic on Instagram @theauricb🧪 Explore the world of personal alchemy at theauricb.com💌 Get on the inside list: subscribe to the newsletter for weekly downloads (no fluff, all flame)🎙️ Binge more episodes of The Tea with Auric B — wherever you get your podcasts

Okay, babe — time to shut that sh*t down and restart. Because if your life feels like it’s glitching, buffering, or crashing into the same damn walls……it’s probably not your fault.But it is your programming.Here’s the deal: Auric’s cracking open your inner motherboard in this episode and dropping the truth — you’re not the one running the show. From the age of zero to seven, your subconscious got downloaded with code you didn’t even ask for. We’re talkin’ money trauma, shame spirals, limiting beliefs, generational BS, and those sneaky little viruses you didn’t even know were running.And now? Those corrupted-ass files are still working behind the scenes — making your life feel stuck, small, and not yours.But guess what? You’ve got a choice.You can keep clicking through life with expired belief systems like a pop-up virus…Or you can hit CONTROL + ALT + DELETEand start rewriting the code.This one’s not just a wake-up call — it’s your full system cleanse.No sage needed. Just truth.Come sip more tea with Auric:🌈 Follow the chaos, truth bombs + magic on Instagram @theauricb🧪 Explore the world of personal alchemy at theauricb.com💌 Get on the inside list: subscribe to the newsletter for weekly downloads (no fluff, all flame)🎙️ Binge more episodes of The Tea with Auric B — wherever you get your podcasts

It’s 2020. If we have learned anything this year it’s the we are fed up with racist, homophobic ridiculousness of human beings and we won’t stand for it. And one would think that people would already know to not piss off nurses as well. Like Mrs. Maureen and her playing cards comment. But yet again here we are with another massive degrading comment to nurses to hit the main stream that is social media and how you don’t bite the hands that assist you and get away with it these days. Josh dives into just a taste of all the crap that is thrown our way as nurses and discusses the degrading of our profession, the bullying, the demeaning comments, the lack of appropriate pay, and our well beings as nurses and how we just won’t tolerate it any longer.

Stressed. Tired. Overworked. Migraines. IBS. Endless emails. Constant texts and DMs. Work. Work. Work. Sound familiar? Probably. Sound fun? Nope. Didn’t think so. In The New Normal, Josh talks about what life before the COVID shut down looked like and all the success it brought. But also makes us think if it’s truly healthy for us in the long run. And his journey to finding a new normal (and we aren’t talking about quitting your job and being a house wife...although that doesn’t sound like a bad idea sometimes...). One that allows you to enjoy the journey on your way to your destination. After all, all work and no play is no way to be hunTEA!
