Pivoting isn’t quitting—it’s listening.

In this first episode of Beautifully Unbalanced, Mikita shares the story behind the evolution from Thym 4 Tea with Mikita to a podcast rooted in growth, community, and becoming. This conversation is about the quiet moments before clarity, the uncertainty that comes before confidence, and the courage it takes to trust yourself without permission or validation.

If you’ve ever felt like you outgrew a version of yourself…
If you’re questioning what’s next but don’t have the full map…
If you’re learning that growth doesn’t arrive loudly, but slowly and honestly—

This episode is for you.

We explore finding your voice, building community, embracing change, and why you don’t need to have it all figured out to take the next step. This season is about showing up as you are, listening inward, and allowing yourself to evolve—beautifully, imperfectly, and in community.

This is the sound of becoming.

✨ Reflection Questions from the Episode:

• How do you define community in this season of your life?
• Are you ready to embrace change and build what comes next?

You don’t need permission to evolve.
You don’t need validation to listen to yourself.
You just need to trust your next step.

Until next time—namaste.

What if the recognition you're seeking isn't waiting on a stage somewhere, but right here in your own hands?

Recognition isn't just a trophy on your shelf—it's a form of rest. That sacred breath between survival and becoming. After four years of podcasting through empty seasons, echoing rooms, and uncertain words, I decided to give myself the damn award. No permission needed, no red carpet required. And it wasn't just celebration—it was interruption of an unhealthy cycle.

We often push ourselves far beyond reasonable limits, only acknowledging our need for rest when we're already operating in crisis mode. As the wise Olivia Pope once said, "By the time you realize you're in crisis, it's already too late." This raw, celebratory episode explores what happens when we honor our journey before burnout forces us to pause. When we recognize that the work behind the work—the showing up, the consistency, the vulnerability—deserves celebration too.

You don't need panels of judges or viral success to determine your worth. The honest admission that you're doing your best is enough reason to celebrate. Whether it's taking yourself out for sushi, writing your own acceptance speech (thanking coffee and "Beyoncé's internet"), or simply pausing to acknowledge how far you've come—these moments of self-recognition aren't self-indulgent; they're self-preserving.

Take this as your accountability partner's nudge: stop waiting for permission to slow down. Celebrate your journey not because you've finally done enough, but because you are already enough. Share this message with someone who deserves to celebrate themselves too, and stay tuned for a new season of Time for Tea with Makita coming soon, plus No One Acts dropping this fall with stories that shift your soul.
