Beautifully Unbalanced is a podcast about becoming who you were meant to be. (formerly Thym 4 Tea with Mikita) Life is messy, magical, unpredictable—and full of seasons where we’re asked to grow in ways we never expected. Host Mikita invites you into honest conversations that explore wellness, identity, relationships, resilience, and the art of evolving without apology. Here, we talk about the chapters we rarely share: letting go, starting over, finding your voice, healing old stories, and learning to create space for the person you’re growing into. It’s real. It’s relatable. It’s you. If you’re ready for transformation—with a little laughter, connection, and permission to show up imperfectly—pull up a seat. This is where your becoming begins.   Personal Growth Wellness Self-Discovery Motivation Storytelling Becoming www.beautifully-unbalanced.com

    Who Told You the Path Had to Make Sense?

    We spend so much of our lives believing that if we're on the right path, it should make sense. It should be clear. It should be linear. It should feel certain. But what if the detour isn't proof you've lost your way? What if it's preparing you for the life you've been asking for? In this episode of Beautifully Unbalanced, we're talking about the courage it takes to pivot, the vulnerability of chasing a dream out loud, and why trusting yourself matters more than having the perfect plan. Inspired by the journey of Santiago in The Alchemist, this conversation is for anyone who's questioning their next step, starting over, changing careers, building something from scratch, or wondering if the dream is still worth pursuing. Because the truth is, the path isn't meant to be straight. It's meant to change you. So if you've been waiting for a sign to keep going, maybe this is it.

    Sis, Stop Carrying Tomorrow

    Lately I've noticed something about myself. I'll be sitting at my desk, answering an email, and somehow my mind is already worrying about next week, next month, and a conversation that hasn't even happened yet. Nothing is wrong. But my mind is everywhere except where my feet are. Maybe you've been there too. Maybe you've been carrying responsibilities, expectations, deadlines, and what-ifs for so long that it feels normal. Maybe you've gotten so used to preparing for the next thing that you've forgotten how to experience the thing you're in. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when life gets loud, when our minds get ahead of us, and why sometimes the most important thing we can do is come back to the present moment. Because sis, you don't have to carry tomorrow before it gets here. Grab your coffee, take a seat, and let's talk.

    Girl, You Got This

    At some point, we all find ourselves standing at a crossroads. Not because we're lost, but because we've finally grown enough to see that we have choices. In this episode, I'm reflecting on identity, accountability, healing, and the uncomfortable truth that nobody is coming to save us. Inspired by Jennifer Lewis's memoir Black Mother of Hollywood, we're talking about what it means to stop waiting to be chosen, trust yourself, and move beyond survival mode. If you've been wondering what's next, questioning your direction, or feeling the weight of growth, this conversation is for you.

    When Did We Stop Showing Up?

    Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about connection… and honestly, how disconnected people seem right now. Everybody says they want community. People want support, deeper friendships, real conversations, and a village they can lean on. But what happens when community starts requiring something from us in return? In this episode, I’m talking about loneliness, convenience culture, social media friendships, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet ways we’ve started replacing real connection with constant access to each other. This conversation is honest, reflective, and a little uncomfortable at times… because maybe the issue isn’t that people don’t care. Maybe a lot of people are simply overwhelmed, tired, and struggling to show up while carrying things silently themselves. So let’s talk about it.     Sound design and audio production by L&S Music Group  Send us Fan Mail Support the show #selfdevelopment #Wellness  #thym4teawithmikita #manifest #purposefulliving #liveunapplogectically #freedom #podcast #womeninpodcast #podcastlife #empoweringwomen

    When Soft Isn’t an Option

    Welcome back to the Beautifully Unbalanced podcast—I’m Mikita. In this episode, I’m getting real about this whole “soft life” conversation. I hear it, I see it, and I get the appeal… but let’s be honest—life doesn’t always give you the space to be soft. Sometimes you’re carrying a lot, you’re grinding, you’re holding things together—and comparing your life to someone else’s highlight reel? That will have you questioning yourself for no reason. What matters more is having real support—people who see you, not just the version of you that looks good online. Then I get into what I like to call “wine, feelings, and bad decisions.” I share a story about Danielle—a woman who is always holding it down, always dependable. But one quiet night alone? Everything she’s been pushing down starts to come up—work, relationships, how she really feels about herself. One glass turns into a few, and before she knows it, she sends a text she wakes up regretting. And here’s the thing—that moment isn’t weakness. It’s what happens when we don’t give ourselves space to process what we’re carrying. We get comfortable with chaos because it’s familiar, even when we say we want something different. So I talk about the difference between trauma bonding and real support. Real support doesn’t just sit with you in the mess—it helps you process it, take accountability, and actually move forward. I leave you with a few questions to sit with—about your patterns, your boundaries, and what it really looks like to choose yourself. And I tie it back to something that stuck with me from All About Love—love is not just about showing up halfway, it’s about effort and consistency. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about being perfect… it’s about being honest with yourself and doing the work to move differently.

    Dreams, Doubt and Doing It Anyway with Stephanie

    In this episode of Beautifully Unbalanced, Mikita sits down with Stephanie from Audio Oasis Storytelling to talk about storytelling, purpose, rest, and trusting your gift. Stephanie shares how her love of books and storytelling started in childhood and how that passion led her to create a podcast that gives people space to pause, reflect, and simply be. Together, Mikita and Stephanie talk about what it means to find your voice, start before you feel ready, and create your own blueprint when no clear path exists. They also dive into the power of storytelling, the importance of honoring people’s time, and why purpose often reveals itself when you finally trust what’s already inside of you. Stephanie also gives a glimpse into her upcoming audio project, Immortal Taco, a creative and unexpected story that stretches her gift in a whole new way. In this episode: Storytelling as rest and reflectionFinding your gift and trusting itStarting before you feel readyCreating your own blueprintHonoring the time people give youStephanie’s upcoming project, Immortal TacoIf you want, I can make it even shorter and more like a simple podcast app description.

    Who Taught You To Shrink?

    What does it really mean to be average… and who decided that was a bad thing? This episode started with a simple conversation between me and my brother—but it turned into something deeper. A question that made me pause: Are we actually afraid of being average… or are we afraid of being seen? Because somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned that being accepted meant being smaller. Downplaying our wins. Quieting our voice. Acting like we’re “just doing life” when we know there’s so much more to us. In this episode, I’m unpacking: How we learned to tie our worth to doing “more” Why average isn’t the problem—but shrinking is The subtle ways we make ourselves smaller to stay comfortable or accepted And how to take back the power in the words we use to define ourselves This isn’t about being the loudest, the busiest, or the most impressive. It’s about being honest about who you are… without watering it down. So if you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I’m just doing nothing much…” when you’ve actually been building something meaningful—this one is for you. Because maybe the question isn’t “Am I average?” Maybe it’s… “Where did I learn to make myself smaller?” Send us Fan Mail Support the show #selfdevelopment #Wellness  #thym4teawithmikita #manifest #purposefulliving #liveunapplogectically #freedom #podcast #womeninpodcast #podcastlife #empoweringwomen

    Life, Art & The Choice to Choose with TK Dutes

    On this Episode Beautifully Unbalanced, I sit down with TK, creator of The Secret Life of TK Dutes, for a real conversation about burnout and finding your way back to yourself. She shares how hitting a breaking point—between work stress, shifting relationships, and feeling like life just wasn’t set up for her to win—pushed her to finally set boundaries with work, people, and even her doctors after feeling dismissed. What I loved most is how she got creative with her healing. Without having it all figured out  she started experimenting—especially through art—and within a year had enough work for an art show. That alone says a lot about what she was carrying. We also talk about expanding your emotional vocabulary, the difference between a vacation and real rest, and simple tools like breathwork that actually help. And somehow, by telling her story, she built a community she never planned for. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or trying to find your way back to yourself… this one is for you.
