    Season 2: Episode 2: The People Who Only Love You When You’re Useful

    Send us Fan Mail Not every relationship is built on mutual love—some are built on what you can provide. In this episode of The Deadly Tea Podcast, we’re diving into the emotional weight of one-sided relationships, being the “go-to” person, and what happens when your kindness is mistaken for obligation. Join us as we unpack the difference between healthy support and emotional burnout, why setting boundaries isn’t selfish, and how to recognize the people who truly value you—not just what you do for them. 🤍 Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeadlytea?igsh=MXA5dnp0Nmw0cXlm&utm_source=qr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deadlyteapodcast?_r=1&_t=ZP-93Xx2859Gmt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CE5Qn7mv5/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Season 2: Episode 4: Small Town Tea Talk

    Send us Fan Mail In this week’s Mental Health Matters episode of Deadly Tea Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that often goes unspoken: the loneliness and isolation that can come with living in a small town. While small-town life can offer a sense of community and familiarity, it can also leave some people feeling disconnected, stuck, or misunderstood. Join Marie as she discusses the impact isolation can have on mental health, why loneliness isn’t always about being physically alone, and practical ways to build meaningful connections and find joy where you are. If you’ve ever felt like your world has become too small, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that connection may be closer than you think. ☕🖤 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses loneliness, anxiety, depression, and mental health challenges.

    Season 2: Episode 5: The Case of Ebby Steppach

    Send us Fan Mail In October 2015, 18-year-old Ebby Steppach disappeared from Little Rock, Arkansas after telling loved ones she had been sexually assaulted and wanted to report it to police. Days later, her abandoned car was found at Chalamont Park. Nearly three years later, her remains were discovered inside a drainage pipe just yards from where that vehicle had been located. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nearly a decade later, no one has been arrested and many questions remain unanswered. In this episode of Deadly Tea Podcast, we examine the timeline of Ebby’s disappearance, the investigation, the discovery of her remains, and the ongoing fight for justice led by her family. We also discuss recent developments as the Arkansas Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit continues to review the case. If you have information about Ebby Steppach’s case, please contact law enforcement.

    Season 2: Episode 6: Suicide Awareness

    Send us Fan Mail ⚠️ CONTENT & SUICIDE AWARENESS WARNING: This episode discusses suicidal thoughts, mental health struggles, grief, and suicide prevention. Please take care of yourself while listening and skip this episode if the subject matter may be triggering for you. After a much-needed break, Deadly Tea Podcast is back—and this time, it’s a deeply personal solo episode. Life behind the scenes has been heavy. Grief, healing, motherhood, personal struggles, and simply trying to keep going can sometimes become more than we know how to carry. In this episode, I open up about why the podcast went quiet and why taking a step back doesn’t mean giving up—it sometimes means choosing yourself long enough to heal. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and this episode is an honest conversation about what suicidal thoughts can feel like, the loneliness that can come with struggling in silence, and why asking for help is not weakness. We talk about the difference between wanting your life to end and desperately wanting your pain to end, how to recognize when someone may be struggling, how to reach out, and what it can look like to take life one moment at a time. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder: You don’t have to have everything figured out today.  You don’t have to carry every battle alone.  And your story isn’t over just because this chapter hurts. If you’re struggling right now, please tell someone. A friend. A family member. A therapist. Your doctor. Anyone you trust. And if you feel like you may hurt yourself or you aren’t sure you can stay safe, please reach out for immediate support. 🆘 NEED HELP NOW? Call or text 988 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Available 24/7, free and confidential throughout the United States and its territories. Online: 988 Lifeline — https://988lifeline.org If you are in immediate danger or have already seriously harmed yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You don’t have to wait until things become unbearable to ask for help. Stay. Reach out. Let someone walk beside you. 🤍 And if nobody has told you lately: I’m glad you’re here.
