    Finding the Right Home for Your Family: Real Estate & Design Tips | Tea with Tamela | S3 E2

    In this episode, we're talking about finding and creating a home that truly works for your family. As a family that has moved several times throughout Demario's NFL career, we've learned a lot about navigating transitions, adapting to new places, and creating spaces that feel like home. To help unpack this topic, I invited three incredible women from my "dream team" to join the conversation: Terra Bell, Brittany Sircy, and Karon "Denise" Garner. Each of them has played an important role in helping our family find, design, and create homes we love. Terra and Brittany are Nashville-based real estate experts who have helped countless executives, professional athletes, and their families navigate major transitions, build community, and find homes that fit their unique lifestyles. Denise is an Atlanta-based interior designer who has helped bring each of my homes to life over the years. She's become such a trusted voice in my life that I rarely make a design decision without her input. Together, we discuss both the emotional and practical sides of creating a home—from finding the right house to designing a space that reflects your family's needs, values, and everyday life. As we continue into Season 3, we're excited for all that's ahead. New episodes of Tea with Tamela drop every Wednesday at 5:00 PM CST.

    Ministry in the NFL: Living on Mission Wherever God Has Placed You | Demario Davis, New York Jets Linebacker | Tea with Tamela | S3 Ep 1

    Tea with Tamela is back for Season 3! And my husband, Demario Davis (linebacker for the New York Jets), returns to the show! In this episode, we unpack the idea of ministry beyond what people traditionally expect. Many of us think of missionaries as those who travel to underserved or impoverished places to share the Gospel—but God’s calling is not limited to one setting or one image. God has positioned us in a unique space: the NFL. A place where influence, success, and visibility are high—but so is the need for truth, purpose, and Jesus. We talk about how God uses this platform as our ministry field, allowing us to reach people we may have never otherwise encountered. It’s not about fame or status—it’s about assignment. We believe that wherever God places you, there is a mission attached to it. Whether in sports, business, family life, or your everyday environment, you are called to be a light right where you are. As people often watch our lives closely, we prayerfully use that visibility to point them back to Christ—boldly, but always in love. From conversations with athletes to moments in everyday life, ministry happens in ways many don’t always see. We also talk about what it looks like to walk that out together as a family, serving God in both private and public spaces while staying grounded in faith. As we begin Season 3, we are excited for all that’s ahead. New episodes of Tea with Tamela drop every Wednesday at 5:00 PM CST.

    In this special season finale of Tea with Tamela, the tables are turned! My husband, Demario Davis (linebacker for the New York Jets), steps into the interviewer’s chair for an intimate chance to interview me and give you a behind-the-scenes look at our lives. Together, we explore the deeper meaning of my brand, "The F Word"—Faith, Family, Food, and Football—and dive into the true purpose behind my comeback to podcasting. I also share the inspiration that birthed Tamela’s Tailgate Treats, revealing how a love for community and cooking has evolved into something much greater than just a hobby. Beyond the spotlight, we pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to drive the engine of our household. I open up about the grit and grace required to manage our family life behind the scenes, ensuring the foundation is solid while supporting my husband’s career and our collective dreams. It is a raw and honest look at the roles we play to keep our world moving forward with intention and love. We wrap up this conversation with a heartfelt love letter to New Orleans, reflecting on the city that has been our home for the past eight years. We honor the place that shaped our family’s journey before looking ahead to what God has in store next. This episode is a celebration of transition, legacy, and the beautiful, messy reality of living out your purpose with the people who matter most.

    An Audience of One: Finding Worth in God Alone with Debbie Winans | Faith, Purpose, and Obedience | S2 Ep 8

    In this episode of Tea with Tamela, I sit down with Debbie Winans for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, and stepping into God’s calling—no matter the season. Debbie shares what it was like growing up in the renowned Winans family, surrounded by music, legacy, and a life in the spotlight. From performing on Broadway to sharing the stage with Whitney Houston, she opens up about the highs of her early career and the unique pressures that came with it. But in the midst of success, Debbie felt God leading her to step away from music—a decision that required deep faith, trust, and surrender. She reflects on that season of obedience, what it taught her, and how it shaped the woman she is today. Now, years later, Debbie is stepping back onto the stage with a renewed sense of purpose and calling. We also dive into what it truly means to be a Proverbs 31 woman in today’s world—balancing faith, family, and purpose with grace and intention. This conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and honest moments for anyone navigating change, trusting God’s timing, or rediscovering their purpose.

    When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned: Trusting God Through Transitions with Clarke Byard | S:2 Ep:6

    In this episode of Tea with Tamela, I sit down with Clarke Byard for an honest and heartfelt conversation about love, motherhood, and trusting God’s plan, especially when it looks different than your own. From dating her husband, NFL safety Kevin Byard, since high school to navigating long distance, personal growth, and seasons of uncertainty and building a life through the ever-changing rhythm of the NFL, Clarke shares what it’s looked like to grow up in marriage, navigate constant transitions, and choose partnership over sacrifice. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we open up about pregnancy and motherhood in the midst of a demanding football lifestyle, what it’s like to carry and care for children while moving city to city, and how each season requires a different level of surrender and trust in God. Clarke also shares her powerful home birth story, the lessons she’s learned through community and mentorship, and how she and her family are intentionally building a legacy that extends far beyond the game through their foundation work. My prayer is that this episode reminds you that even when life feels uncertain, God’s plan is always steady and often better than anything we could have planned for ourselves.
