In this heartfelt episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica share a personal “miracle” moment after a routine CT scan led to an unexpected 1.8 cm bladder stone and a same-day laser procedure.

Warm, honest, and intimate, this episode blends health talk, personal storytelling, and soulful reflection.

Victory Gardens: The Original Rebel Wellness Movement” 🌱🥕☕(212.02.098)

Welcome back to Spill the Tea with D & E ☕🌱 where the tea is hot, the kale is organic, and today we’re digging into one of history’s most underrated wellness revolutions: Victory Gardens. In this episode, Dominique and Erica explore how home gardens during World War I and World War II became symbols of resilience, self-reliance, nutrition, and community. At one point, nearly 40% of America’s vegetables came from backyard gardens, rooftop gardens, schoolyards, and church lots. Basically… the zucchini staged a nationwide coup. 🥒⚔️ But this conversation isn’t just about history. It’s about why people are returning to gardening today in a world filled with stress, screen fatigue, rising grocery prices, processed food, anxiety, and modern burnout. From tomatoes packed with lycopene to calming herbs like chamomile and lavender, Dominique and Erica discuss the emotional, nutritional, financial, and even microbial magic hidden in healthy soil. You’ll hear about: 🌿 How gardening lowers stress hormones 🥕 Why fresh-picked food contains more nutrients ☀️ The surprising mental health benefits of touching soil 🧄 Traditional healing herbs and homegrown remedies 💰 How gardens can help offset grocery costs 🌎 Why gardening reconnects people to community and purpose This episode is part wellness conversation, part history lesson, part anti-doomscrolling intervention. Because maybe modern Victory Gardens aren’t about war anymore. Maybe they’re about healing. So grab your tea, your shovel, and perhaps one emotionally supportive tomato plant… and come grow with us. 🍅✨ Modern life may be chaotic, but one basil plant, a zucchini vine, and a little sunshine might be the rebellion our nervous systems needed. 🌱☕🥒 #SpillTheTeaWithDAndE, #VictoryGarden, #Gardening, #OrganicLiving, #GrowYourOwnFood, #WellnessPodcast, #HealthyLiving, #HomeGarden, #GardenTherapy, #MentalHealth, #HolisticHealth, #NaturalLiving, #SelfReliance, #SustainableLiving, #Homesteading, #UrbanGardening, #FoodSecurity, #HealingGarden, #PlantMedicine, #FreshFood, #BackyardGarden, #GardeningLife, #GrowFoodNotLawns, #HealthyLifestyle, #GardenInspiration, #MindBodySpirit, #TomatoSeason, #HerbalHealing, #CommunityGarden, #DirtIsMedicine
