Spill_The_Tea_With_D_and_E.01.064.TheBirthOfWatching
🎙️ Podcast Description — Spill the Tea with D & E Episode Title: “The Birth of Watching: Power, Privacy & Paranoia”
Before TikTok, before the NSA, before even gossip at the village well — there was watching. 👁️
In this wildly smart and funny episode, Dominique and Erica trace humanity’s obsession with surveillance all the way back to ancient Egypt, when Pharaohs used scribes instead of spyware and the Eye of Horus was basically the first logo for “Big Brother.” From Rome’s informants and China’s imperial inspectors to medieval confession booths (aka spiritual data drops), D & E reveal how the world’s oldest addiction isn’t power… it’s information.
Between sips of smoky Lapsang Souchong with cardamom honey, the duo explores how we went from papyrus reports to push notifications — and what we can actually do to reclaim our privacy (hint: use cash, delete zombie apps, and stop posting your lunch).
It’s funny, philosophical, and a little unsettling — a wake-up call brewed with equal parts history, humor, and rebellion. Because the empire’s still watching… and it fits in your hand. 📱
☕ Tea of the Day: Smoky Lapsang Souchong — the spy’s brew for suspicious minds. 🕵️‍♀️ Theme: From Pharaohs to phones, the watchers have evolved — have we?
✨ “Pour another cup… and rethink your settings.”

Podcast Description — Spill the Tea with D & E Episode Title: “Gut Feeling, Brain Power & a Dash of Karma”
Grab your mug and your microbes — because this week, Erica and Dominique are serving up some fermented wisdom with a side of sass. Ever wonder why your burrito has feelings or your brain feels bloated after drama (or dairy)? In this hilariously soulful episode, D & E sip probiotic chai and spill the secrets of your second brain — the gut!
They unpack the gut-brain gossip line, reveal why sourdough is basically enlightenment in loaf form, and explain how parsley, mint, and basil are cheaper than therapy (and smell better too). You’ll laugh, learn, and probably text your gut an apology.
By the end, you’ll know how to turn digestion into destiny, chaos into calm, and snacks into sacred practice. Because when your belly’s happy, your life just flows smoother — karmically and gastrointestinally.
☕ Tea of the Week: Fermented probiotic chai — part kombucha, part masala, full enlightenment. 🌀 Theme: Food is medicine, laughter is therapy, and your gut knows the truth before your brain does.
✨ “Feed your gut, free your mind — and don’t eat sad pickles.”

Ever wonder why the same kind of drama keeps circling back like a bad group text? In this episode of Spill the Tea with D&E, Dominique and Erica steep deep on karma — not the Taylor Swift kind, but the real-life boomerang that reminds you the universe is always watching… and taking notes.

From Sanskrit roots to Starbucks lines, they unpack how karma is really just mindfulness with better lighting. Learn how to stop throwing energetic grenades, fold awareness into your daily routine, and laugh at the cosmic comedy of getting exactly what you put out (sometimes with a side of fries).

☕ Expect soul talk, sarcasm, and the occasional spiritual slap on the wrist. Because at the end of the day, what goes around comes back — hopefully with good hair and better perspective.
