About this listen

 Tea Time with Tara is a bold brew of truth, grit, and heart. This isn’t your typical self-help podcast—this is real talk, unfiltered and unapologetic. Hosted by Tara Caban Rivera, Tea Time with Tara dives headfirst into the messy, complicated, and beautiful parts of being human. From mental health and trauma to relationships, identity, and growth—nothing is off-limits. Some conversations will crack you up, others might break your heart open, but all of them are grounded in raw honesty and radical compassion. This show isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, sitting in the discomfort, and showing up as our full, imperfect selves. It’s a space where we keep it real, keep it deep, and keep it moving—with laughter, a little chaos, and a lot of love. So pull up a chair, pour yourself something strong, and join us for the kind of conversations that actually matter. We’re not just sipping tea—we’re spilling it, healing through it, and changing the world one ...Tara Caban Rivera Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • When Life Says “Slow Down”: A Bedside Check-In

    When Life Says “Slow Down”: A Bedside Check-In
    Apr 18 2025

    This week didn’t go as planned—so I hit record from bed, next to my sleeping daughter, for a quick, real-life update. Between a rough flare-up, spring break chaos, and trying to find small moments of peace, I’m sharing what this past week looked like in all its messy, human glory.

    I talk about giving ourselves grace when we can’t do it all, how chronic illness impacts my daily life, and the beauty of slowing down to soak up time with the people we love. Plus, a little teaser of what’s coming soon to Tea Time with Tara—including new guests, a surprise mini-series, and some conversations I’m really excited to share.

    It’s a short one, but it’s from the heart. Thanks for being here. 💛

    Drink your tea, speak your truth, and don’t take anyone’s shit.

  • S2 Ep2: Broken Homes & Blow-Up Dolls: with Frankie James, CEO of Chirping Pucks Media

    S2 Ep2: Broken Homes & Blow-Up Dolls: with Frankie James, CEO of Chirping Pucks Media
    Apr 10 2025
    This week on Tea Time with Tara, I sit down with my new boss, new friend, and forever chaos twin, Frankie James—founder and CEO of Chirping Pucks Media. What starts as a ridiculous ride (think: exes, hockey superstition stank, and folding laundry as a love language) takes a turn into the raw and real. Frankie opens up about his two suicide attempts, his difficult relationship with family, and the impact of his stepdad’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis. He shares how hockey—and human connection—pulled him through, how his company is reshaping the game, and why helping others is now part of his mission. We talk healing, humor, hockey, and how sometimes, the most unexpected connections become the most meaningful. Trigger warning: We talk openly about suicide, trauma, and mental health. But there’s also a lot of laughter, weird superpowers, and a cameo from Love Is Blind. 🖤 Connect with Frankie: @chirpingpucks on social media www.chirpingpucks.com Tea Time with Tara is Proudly Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/teatime

    Season 2 of Tea Time with Tara is here—and we’re starting live with a powerful, honest convo about living with Tourette’s. My friend Kevin joins me to talk myths, stigma, and the wild history people never hear about (yes, it involves witch trials). I also open up about why I had to postpone the original premiere—to care for my mental health and physical wellbeing during a psoriatic arthritis flare-up and PMDD wave. 🎧 Be sure to check out Kevin’s podcast My Life with Tourette’s wherever you get your podcasts! https://www.youtube.com/@Kevinford87 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/kevin-ford47/ 💻 Follow & Connect: Instagram: @teatime.tara Facebook: Tea Time with Tara Merch & more: teatimetara.com
