Hey, there! I started this week\u2019s episode with my tea talk (cinnamon-apple-chamomile tea) and a life update about reading, having a slow week, and taking the SATs. I introduce this week\u2019s discussion by defining support systems, stating why I\u2019m recording this episode now, clarifying a disclaimer, and laying out the structure for the discussion. Then, I break up the importance of support systems into speaking and being social creatures. Next, I break down my support system. Afterward, I explain how to keep your power in your support systems: preserving your opinion and questioning who you\u2019re letting in. Lastly, I wrap up with some key takeaways and my favourites in food, series, and books.\n\n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO: 09:08\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nFollow my TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJwKjr2L/ \nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nBren\xe9 Brown\nListen to my episode on therapy (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/0BNZtjfTVYcodal1AXk4d5?si=GgQ3LQlKSzinp47nXj2fvg\nGilmore Girls\nThe Sun and her Flowers by Rupi Kaur\nListen to Rupi Kaur\u2019s interview on Girlboss Radio (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/0w7ihNoYV5xlWW2owz8DwT?si=iYUbDCn8S_6X5ud1qDrZAQ\n\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n13:00 = \u201cSupport systems are useless if you don\u2019t believe in yourself first\u201d\n18:45 = \u201cA support system is like a mattress: if you\u2019re falling down, it will soften the crash\u201d\n19:10 = \u201cPeople who say things that matter, when it matters most\u201d\n31:50 = \u201cYou need to support yourself first\u201d\n31:55 = \u201cYou need to be on your team before you recruit other people\u201d\n35:15 = \u201cThe support system is for them to support you\u201d\n35:40 = \u201cDon\u2019t blindly follow all the advice your support system gives you\u201d\n36:00 = \u201cImagine you\u2019re the CEO, sitting at the end of the table, and your support system are the heads of different departments giving you their input.
