Guestisode 2- "Roots and Revolution with Erika Giles"

What happens when your roots shape your purpose—and your passion turns into something bigger? In this episode, we sit down with Erika Giles, founder of Roots & Revolution and Tiffany’s sister, for a conversation that’s equal parts personal and powerful. We talk about what it really takes to build something from the ground up, the influence of family and culture, and how your story can become the foundation for your business. This isn’t just about tea, it’s about identity, resilience, and creating something meaningful from where you come from. If you’ve ever felt called to build something of your own, this one’s for you.

"Are you a safe friend...Really?"

You say you’re a good friend, but are you a safe one? We’re unpacking honesty, anxiety, emotional safety, and the uncomfortable truth about how we show up in relationships. Exposure time?

"Who are you without the title?"

Who are you… when the title is gone? No job. No role. No labels to lean on. In this episode, we strip it all back and get honest about identity, pressure, and the versions of ourselves we’ve built to survive, succeed, and be accepted. Are you living for yourself… or for how you’re perceived? And if everything you “do” disappeared tomorrow… would you still know who you are? This one gets real, uncomfortable, and necessary.

"Success Changes Everything"

Success isn’t just a glow up… It’s realizing some people were only comfortable with the old version of you. It’s outgrowing spaces you once felt safe in. It’s feeling pressure you never asked for. It’s questioning if winning is worth what it costs. Yeah… we went there.
