Self-care isn’t always about spa days or social media detoxes. Sometimes, it’s as simple—and powerful—as brewing a warm cup of tea and pressing play on a podcast that speaks to your soul.
At Carry Kumba, we call this the tea and podcast ritual. It’s a practice of mindful multitasking: grounding your body with soothing herbs while nourishing your mind with meaningful stories, insights, or laughter. This simple habit can shift your entire day.
Combining tea with podcasts creates a ritual that supports both mental and physical wellness. Tea offers calm and warmth. Podcasts offer inspiration and connection. Together, they give you space to unplug, reflect, and reset.
According to research reported by The New York Times, listening to podcasts can improve brain health by engaging your attention in a focused, low-stress way. Add tea to the mix and you’ve got a ritual that helps you stay present—without pressure.
Whether you’re starting your morning, winding down in the evening, or reclaiming time during a midday break, this pairing brings comfort, clarity, and connection.
