Everyone's Cup of Tea: The Stories We Tell About Ourselves and Others

What if we've been deciding what's in the cup before we've ever taken a sip?Life has a way of handing us labels. Some are given to us by other people. Some we quietly give ourselves. Before long, those labels can begin to feel more true than the people carrying them.I've learned that most of us are far more complicated than the stories we tell about ourselves, and far more beautiful than the stories we tell about each other.This book isn't about tea.It's about the conversations that happen when we slow down long enough to really see someone. It's about curiosity instead of certainty. Grace instead of assumption. Listening instead of deciding.I don't have all the answers.What I have are stories, questions, and moments that changed the way I look at people, including myself.If you've ever felt misunderstood, judged too quickly, or trapped by a story that no longer fits, I'd love to invite you to pull up a chair.The kettle's on.Let's have some tea.
