Happy “New Year”… or whatever the hell this is supposed to be. If you’re waking up on January 1 like, “New year, new me, time to slay goals,” but your body feels like a dead iPhone with 5% battery and 58 tabs open… this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: January 1 is a lie, hunty. It’s a made-up reset date shoved into the dead middle of winter, when nature is literally doing the opposite of hustle. Bears are hibernating. Trees are conserving. Everything is resting, regenerating, and waiting. Yet somehow we’re expected to come out of Q4 like an electrified squirrel at a rave and instantly become the Energizer Bunny. No wonder it fails. In this episode, I break down: • why the “New Year, new you” trap is designed to keep you burnt out • how the calendar shift pulled us out of rhythm with nature and into hustle culture • why your nervous system hates sudden change (and why your resolutions don’t stick) • what you should actually be doing in January (spoiler: slow down and reflect, not punish yourself) • why resting is not laziness, it’s strategy And if you’re ready to do this differently, I made something to walk you through it step-by-step. Want the blueprint for January? My course Best Year Yet is $11 and it’s the easiest investment you’ll make in yourself this year. No excuses. It teaches you exactly what to do in January so you stop repeating the same cycle and actually build a year you can sustain. Get it here: https://www.theauricb.com/bestyearyet Now go pour your tea, deepthroat those Oreos if you must, and let your nervous system unclench. January is not the time to force a new life. It’s the time to rest, reflect, and get ready to slay when nature actually says “go.” Come sip more tea with Auric:🩷 Watch, Like, & Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAuricB🌈 Follow the chaos, truth bombs + magic on Instagram @theauricb🧪 Explore the world of personal alchemy at theauricb.com💌 Get on the inside list: https://theauricb.myflodesk.com/emailsignup🎙️ Binge more episodes of The Tea with Auric B — wherever you get your podcasts

In today’s episode, I’m getting brutally honest about something most of us never admit out loud — what happens when you finally give yourself permission to rest… and your nervous system absolutely refuses to let you. This wasn’t the soft, spiritual, self-care era I imagined. No meditation. No yoga. No breathwork. Just me, staring at the ceiling like, “Are you kidding me? This is my healing era?” Instead of resting, I defaulted straight back into survival mode — building, producing, creating, filling every empty space with work… even during a period that was supposed to be dedicated solely to taking care of myself. And guess what? That doesn’t mean I failed. It means I’m deconditioning a lifetime of being in “go mode.” In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about what happens when you stop running after so many years of hustle — the discomfort, the withdrawals, the guilt, the clarity, and the surprising ways healing actually begins to unfold. If you’ve ever wondered why rest feels unsafe… why slowing down feels impossible… or why taking time off turns into a spiral instead of serenity… You’re not broken — you’re human. And you’re not alone. This is my honest, unfiltered breakdown of what healing really looks like behind the scenes… with the hope that my journey helps you feel seen, validated, and gentler with yourself along the way. Tune in, take a breath, and let yourself be human with me.

Today’s episode is a love letter to every creator, healer, entrepreneur, and chronically overachieving human who thinks they have to grind 24/7 to matter. Let me say it louder: If you have to force it, it’s probably shit.(Just like a fart. Yes, we went there.) This week, I’m breaking down the truth about creative burnout, why rest is actually part of the work, and how slowing down rewires your nervous system out of survival mode and back into flow. No hustle. No guilt. No “I should be doing more.” Just permission to breathe. We’re talking:• why forcing content never creates magic• how to honor the seasons of your creativity• ways to get out of the slump without self-abuse• the energetic cost of always being “on”• and how EASY (and free!) it is to support creators you love If you’re tired, overwhelmed, overthinking everything, or just feeling like your creativity needs a nap and a snack… this one’s for you. Take the pressure off.Take the pause.Let your magic catch up to you.

Today… we’re stepping into territory I’ve NEVER taken you before. We’re talking past lives, soul contracts, and the kind of regression work that makes your whole identity go “oh… so THAT’S why I am the way I am.” In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on what past life regressions actually are, why they’re one of the most powerful healing tools you’ll ever experience, and how one single session connected the dots on patterns I’ve carried for lifetimes. And yes — I uncovered who I was. No, I’m not saying it here. But trust me… when you hear it? Your jaw will be on the FLOOR. We’re going deep into the mystical, the psychological, and the downright mind-blowing. If you’ve ever wondered why certain wounds follow you, why certain people feel familiar, or why your soul insists on certain paths… buckle up. This one? It’s going to change how you see your entire story.

The aesthetic industry loves to sell “self-care” — but what they’re really pushing? Hustle, burnout, and a whole lot of Botox-wrapped b******t. In this real AF episode, Auric sits down with special guest Jess Cole, fellow practitioner, ritualist, and House of Alchemy member, for a no-holds-barred convo about what it’s really like behind the perfectly curated façade of beauty culture — and how they both said “hell no” to the grind and “yes” to radical, embodied healing. What to expect? Chaos. Truth. Breathwork. Laughs. And some sacred middle fingers. You’ll hear:  • Why the aesthetic industry breeds burnout, not beauty  • The lies we’re sold about “wellness” — and how to break free  • How they reclaimed their power through alchemy, shadow work, and nervous system healing  • And what it looks like to rebuild from the inside out (no filters required) This one’s for the witches with esthetician licenses, the rebels who are tired of hustling for worth, and the humans ready to break the spell of performative self-care. Because beauty doesn’t heal you — you heal you.

✨ Just visualize it and it’ll come true! 🕯️ Light a candle, hold a crystal, and the universe will deliver! 🙄 Say it, sit back, and let abundance find you! …Girl, no. In this explosive episode, Auric throws a glitter bomb into the performative, rose quartz-wielding, spiritual-bro nonsense that’s hijacked the manifestation conversation — and replaces it with the real alchemy. Because spoiler alert: Your dreams don’t work if you don’t. And manifestation without aligned action is just a Pinterest board. Auric reveals the two core truths about calling in what you actually desire — and why so many are missing the mark chasing other people’s goals using other people’s energy. This isn’t just another fluff-filled “high vibes only” pep talk. It’s truth bombs, real talk, and tangible shifts you can start making today to align your beliefs, body, and behaviors with what you actually want. So if you’re done waiting for the universe to get off its ass… Hit play. Let’s BAAM!

Okay, babe — time to shut that sh*t down and restart. Because if your life feels like it’s glitching, buffering, or crashing into the same damn walls… …it’s probably not your fault. But it is your programming. Here’s the deal: Auric’s cracking open your inner motherboard in this episode and dropping the truth — you’re not the one running the show. From the age of zero to seven, your subconscious got downloaded with code you didn’t even ask for. We’re talkin’ money trauma, shame spirals, limiting beliefs, generational BS, and those sneaky little viruses you didn’t even know were running. And now? Those corrupted-ass files are still working behind the scenes — making your life feel stuck, small, and not yours. But guess what? You’ve got a choice. You can keep clicking through life with expired belief systems like a pop-up virus… Or you can hit CONTROL + ALT + DELETE and start rewriting the code. This one’s not just a wake-up call — it’s your full system cleanse. No sage needed. Just truth.

Y’all… we wish this one was made up. Auric. A hospital. A very confused patient. And a moment that will live in his medical history forever. In this hilarious, jaw-dropping, and very wet episode (you’ve been warned), Auric spills the story he’s never told — the time he accidentally made a woman… um… pop off during a medical procedure. It was his first month as a nurse. He was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and blissfully unaware of how anatomy actually works. One traumatic brain injury patient later, and let’s just say… He learned. The hard way. In front of the entire staff. 😳 But as wild as this story is, there’s always a deeper lesson. And in true Auric fashion, he breaks down the awkward moment that taught him everything about shame, surrender, and how trying to “get it right” usually just f*cks us up. So if you’ve ever felt like you need to have it all figured out before you start? Listen to this one. (And maybe don’t drink anything while you do — you will spit it out laughing.)

Some stories change you.This one wrecked me. Before all of this...the healing, the alchemy, the house I built from my own fire...I was just a brand-new trauma nurse at Vanderbilt. Wide-eyed. Hungry.
