Morgane is not chewin' on anything this episode...Instead, she is taking a sip of a lavender London Fog latte! A timely tea for warmer days, this tea's special ingredient is a lavender simple syrup. The essence of the lavender, creaminess of the oat milk, and richness of the black tea make for a relaxing and complex treat. When you're scrolling through social media, do you ever come across a post about somebody's triumph and feel some type of way? Morgane is shakin' her curls at our tendency to compare our progress with others. There is a huge difference between using the success we see on social media as an inspiration for our journeys and making it the standard to live up to. Reflecting on that difference is key to respecting the challenges that others overcome to achieve success and learning what we need to advance.
