    The Tea: Hollywood Lied! A Guide to Rebuilding After Divorce

    Hollywood lied. They made divorce look like a quick montage of glow-ups and new romances, but real life is far messier. In this powerful conversation, Ryanne sits down with a licensed professional counselor of 50 years (Vicki Favors) and divorce attorney Jessica Fagan of Fagan Law to unpack what rebuilding after divorce actually looks like - emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Together, they talk about the grief that hides inside separation, the difference between healing, avoiding, and hiding, and how to set boundaries that protect your peace. This episode reminds listeners that “moving on” is about timing. It’s also about truth, self-respect, and reclaiming your story one honest decision at a time.

    The Tea: Grief, Illness, and the Myth of Being Prepared

    People love to say, “At least you had time to prepare.” But the truth is, nothing prepares you to lose your mama. Whether it comes slow through decline or fast like a sucker punch, grief doesn’t follow a polite timeline. In this intimate and powerful conversation, Ryanne sits down with her best friend Ellen Flechas, whose mother passed away after a battle with breast cancer that mestastised to her brain. As Ellen faced her own cancer diagnosis during that same season, the two friends share a raw and real dialogue about what it means to grieve while your own body is in a fight for its life. Together, they explore the myth of being “ready,” the tenderness of friendship in the middle of chaos, and the unexpected strength that comes when you’re forced to live and let go at the same time. This episode is an unfiltered reminder that preparation doesn’t soften grief, but love can hold you through it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    The Tea: How Creativity Can Help with Grief

    When Ryanne started How Do I Do This?, she thought she was creating a podcast to help others heal. What she didn’t expect was that the act of creating it would start healing her too. In this soul-stirring episode, Ryanne explores why creativity helps us process pain and how making something—whether it’s a painting, a poem, or a podcast—can make the weight of grief a little lighter. She’s joined by Marshall Ramsey, award-winning cartoonist and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist known for his iconic tributes to national moments of loss and resilience, and Jessica Vallor, licensed art therapist and photographer who helps people process trauma through creative expression. Together, they uncover how art bypasses words, rewires the heart, and reminds us that healing doesn’t always start in therapy. Sometimes, it starts with a crayon, a cookie sheet, or a conversation.

    The Tea: How do I Parent a Grieving Child?

    Parenting is hard on a good day, but parenting while grieving? That’s a language no one teaches you. In this deeply personal episode, Ryanne shares her own experience navigating grief alongside her son, who called her mom “Cookie,” and the moment she realized love sometimes has to lead before language catches up. To help guide this conversation, she’s joined by Lisa Aman, Executive Director of Kate’s Club, and Lane Pease Hendricks, the organization’s Director of Education and Innovative Programs. Together, they unpack how to talk to children about death in honest, age-appropriate ways, what to do when grief resurfaces months or even years later, and how to find accessible support through programs like Kate’s Hub. This episode is both classroom and comfort, reminding every parent that even in grief, you’re still learning, growing, and loving your way through.
