A Cozy November: Simple Rituals for a Softer Season
Nurture your nervous system, savor slow evenings, and embrace the simple rituals that make November feel softer.
Cup of Good Cheer
This holiday season, every sip can make a difference. Our Cup of Good Cheer tea blend was created with love to bring warmth not only to your cup but also to families in need right here in Lake County.
For each bag sold, a portion of proceeds will be donated to a local charity. It’s a small way to spread big kindness — one cup at a time.
It's a delicious Creamy Chocolate Mint blend that's perfect anytime!
✨ Wrapped in Comfort & Joy
November drifts in softly—like the hush before the holidays. The air carries that faint scent of woodsmoke and cinnamon, and the world seems to whisper, slow down.
This is the season for soft sweaters and candlelight, for lingering over tea and finding beauty in the in-between moments. Comfort doesn’t have to be grand; sometimes it’s just a warm mug, a gentle breath, or the sound of laughter from another room.
At The Helicopter Daughter, we believe joy lives in the everyday rituals—the quiet ones that ground you before the world rushes in. Lighting a candle before dusk. Pouring a cup that feels like a small act of care. Letting yourself be fully present for what’s right in front of you.
So as November settles in, may you fill your days with light that glows softly, joy that comes naturally, and comfort that feels like a deep exhale.
Here’s to finding grace in the slowing down and magic in the simple things that make this season shine.

Aloe-Based Skincare for Real-Life Radiance
After my own health and healing journey, I became more intentional about what I put in and on my body. I wanted skincare that aligned with the same natural, nourishing values that guide my tea and wellness philosophy — gentle, effective, and free from harsh ingredients.
That’s when I discovered L’BRI, an aloe-based skincare line that delivers visible results while honoring the skin’s natural balance. Each product is crafted with pure aloe and plant-based ingredients to calm, hydrate, and restore your skin’s natural glow — because real beauty begins with real care.

Find a Slower, More Soulful Way to Live
When I started slowing down, it wasn’t by choice. It happened during my recovery from heart valve replacement — a season that challenged me in ways I never expected. It triggered a deep struggle with depression, shaken self-confidence, and a hard, honest reckoning with how I saw my life.
At first, slowing down felt like losing everything I had built. But slowly — so slowly — it became something else entirely. It became a way of healing. I started with the smallest things: sipping a warm cup of tea by the window, letting the morning sunlight touch my face, baking simple breads that made me feel nourished, walking a little day by day.
Those tiny moments weren’t a "fix" — they were self compassion. Over time, they grew into a new way of living — one built on presence and peace, not pressure or performance.
Through mindful mornings, nourishing meals, cozy tea rituals, gentle movement and soft evening resets, I created a slower, more soulful way to live with gentle rhythms and comfort.
That’s the heart behind what I offer here - to share with other women what helped me come home to myself again.
Small, beautiful moments that slowly knit a more meaningful life.
One sip, one step, one sunrise at a time.
My Core Values
Authenticity
I believe in showing up as we are — unpolished, real, and human. Growth doesn’t require perfection. It requires honesty.
Gentleness
Healing isn’t loud. I value quiet strength, soft starts, and grace-filled progress.
Presence
When we slow down, we begin to see clearly. I believe in savoring the moment you’re in — not rushing to the next one.
Intentionality
Every choice matters. I believe in living with purpose, even in the smallest decisions — especially in the smallest moments.
Compassion
I coach with kindness. Always. You deserve a space where you can feel seen, heard, and deeply supported.
Are you ready to...
🌸 Prioritize your well-being without the guilt?
🌙 Move through life with more calm and clarity?
🫖 Create meaningful self-care moments that truly nourish?
My Coaching Philosophy
I believe in quiet strength, slow healing, and the power of small, intentional moments. I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t happen all at once — it happens in the gentle in-between: the morning light, the deep breath before the next step, the courage to rest without guilt.
I guide women who are in the midst of healing, rediscovery, or simply craving more peace — women who have poured out for others and are now learning to pour back into themselves.
My coaching isn’t about overhauling your life — it’s about helping you reconnect to it. Through calm conversations, gentle tools, and heart-centered guidance, I'll help you create space for what truly matters.
Find Strength in Every Cup
Why I created Badass Tea Co.
When I went through heart valve surgery, my world shifted in ways I didn’t expect. Recovery was not just physical — it was emotional, mental, and deeply personal. I struggled with learning how to trust my body again. Every new sensation made me pause. Every spike of fear reminded me how vulnerable healing can feel.
During that time, I discovered that the moments between medical appointments, follow-ups, and long days of recovery were the hardest. There is no guidebook for the mental load of healing. No roadmap for what you’re supposed to feel. And no warning about how much of recovery happens after the surgery is over.
Tea became something steady I could turn to — not as a cure, not as a miracle, but as support. A warm cup helped me slow down. It calmed my nervous system when my thoughts raced.
It gave me something grounding to hold onto when my body felt unfamiliar. It reminded me to breathe and that every day of rest was a day of healing.
I didn’t start Badass Tea Co. because tea was trendy. I started it because tea helped me through the most uncertain season of my life. I didn’t always trust my body, and every new sensation felt like one more thing to worry about. In the middle of that uncertainty, tea became one of the few things that helped me feel steady. A warm cup in my hands gave me something simple and tangible to focus on. It helped calm my mind, support my heart, and reminded me to breathe. Over time, I realized tea wasn’t just a comfort—it was a real tool for healing and everyday wellness.
Today, as a Certified Tea & Wellness Practitioner, I combine my personal recovery journey with training in tea and women’s wellness to help other women feel more supported in their own bodies. Through Badass Tea Co. and The Helicopter Daughter Tea Studio, I create small-batch teas and down-to-earth education focused on heart health, stress support, gentle energy, and realistic self-care.
If you’re rebuilding your health, navigating midlife changes, or simply looking for simple ways to feel better in your day, you’re in the right place. My hope is that every cup reminds you that you’re stronger than you think—and that healing can start with something as small as hot water, good leaves, and a quiet moment that belongs to you.
