Tea
with the Dames
Tea with the Dames™ is our way of encouraging women to gather, share generational wisdom, swap stories and humor, and pass along recipes for life and the table.
Think of it as the kitchen table, just with more chairs.
“Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.”
“If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.”
“I’m comfortable in my own skin no matter how far I’ve stretched it as the years go by.”
VOLUME 2:
Taste Your Words (Before You Serve Them)
This second installment in the series focuses on how we speak, listen, and connect—especially when conflict may be brewing just around the corner.
VOLUME 1:
Boldly Brewed with Confidence
With life recipes for standing taller, Volume 1 offers a thoughtful beginning rooted in clarity, courage, and a bit of well-earned perspective.

Take back clarity, control and calm: Bake a pie every season.
Dear Dames,
” I’m exhausted from juggling work, family, home, and every screaming responsibility that thinks it’s more important than sleep. I’m spinning on a hamster wheel—fast, frantic, and getting nowhere. Calm? That’s reserved for laundry detergent commercials starring women in lavender fields. I want space to breathe and time to focus on what really matters. How do I find my way back to that?“
Sincerely,
Frazzled in Fresno
Dear Frazzled,
” We hear you. Life isn’t a graceful ballet—it’s Army Boot Camp with a side of slapstick. That’s why it’s time to stop spinning and start baking. Yes, really. Every season of life deserves its own pie—figurative, sure (but literal works too)—and a new recipe to match. Forget year-long plans that fizzle out by February. Instead, recalibrate your priorities every quarter, like clockwork. It’s practical. It’s powerful. It is peace served warm. Here’s your recipe for getting back to the life you envision. …”
