What if summer wasn’t about doing more… but about realignment?

In this episode of Tea Talk, Darya invites you into a more intentional season—not one defined by checklists, pressure, or perfection, but one rooted in what really matters. Through a powerful personal story from a summer on crutches, she shares how clarity often comes when we pause, stop performing, and let our core values do the guiding.

You’ll walk away with a grounded framework to check in with yourself this season, and learn how to use your values as a living compass—not just a list on paper.


🔑 Darya explores:

  • Why values matter more in practice than in theory


  • The life-changing clarity that came from a summer of stillness


  • Signs you may be drifting from your values (and how to course-correct)


  • Why you don’t need a perfect plan—just honest alignment


  • How to use your core values to make better decisions this season
