Episode 4: Are You A Choking Hazard

Some labels don’t hurt because they’re true —they hurt because of what we think they mean.In this episode of Taboo Tea, we’re talking about the words that followed us for years: sensitive, ghetto, diva, too much, intimidating. The labels that made us question ourselves, soften our truth, or shrink just to stay palatable.But what if those labels were never sentences… just signals?Together, we explore how labels can move from cages to context — not to define who we are, but to help us understand how we’ve been surviving. We talk honestly about the fear of being misunderstood, the pressure to make others comfortable, and the quiet cost of disappearing in plain sight.This conversation isn’t about glorifying struggle or forcing self-acceptance overnight. It’s about curiosity over shame, clarity over performance, and learning how to tell the truth without erasing yourself.If you’ve ever hidden parts of who you are just to be easier to digest, this episode is for you.Same tea.Different cup. ☕
