A Full Cup of Tea: 2023 Reflections & Lessons
In this episode I mention starting my first online business an eCommerce website in 2019, but it’s important to correct that. It was actually started in 2012.
On this episode there are some notable mentions to conversations with Stephanie of The SoVerveLounge and confirmation of a realization I had through a post from Juma Bannister of The Useful Content Podcast.
I go on to reveal some of many lessons from 2023, both business and personal (as the two will always overlap, let no one tell you any different) including:
- The trap of relying solely on any one platform for your business, marketing, or content creator career. There is just so much to more any one platform
- Emphasizing the importance of being present and intentional in offline relationships, particularly for mompreneurs navigating the digital space. I share some personal insights and parenting lessons.
- Providing a fresh perspective on the relationships we cultivate in the online realm.
- Discussing the potential drawbacks of short-form content, how it can be very unhelpful, unhealthy, and even harmful to how we consume and apply free strategies or takes from our favorite educational content creators or in general
- The necessity of revisiting the basics in 2024 and beyond, shedding habits and teachings acquired in the online space over the past four years.
As a bonus:
I touch on the crucial topic of diversity in the online realm, with a nod to those who understand the significance (IYKYK). This episode is a comprehensive and heartfelt exploration that you won't want to miss.

PopUp Ep. 4 - Canva vs Adobe Suite Debate
In this new exciting episode of Tea Time with me your host Cassia Marina, join me as I dive deep into the world of graphic design tools and marketing updates.
As a brand strategist and web designer, content creator and graphic designer...I know the importance of choosing the right software, and today, I'm going to share my thoughts on the age-old battle: Canva versus Adobe.
We'll explore the strengths and weaknesses of these two giants in the design industry. Canva, known for its user-friendly interface and a plethora of templates, has been a game-changer for many businesses and individuals. On the other hand, Adobe, with its powerful creative suite, offers a different level of sophistication. Which one is right for your needs? I'll help you answer that question.
But that's not all!
Stick around until the end of the episode, where I have an exciting bonus for you. I'll unveil the latest news updates from Zoom and Canva that are set to revolutionize your workflow. Zoom introduces "Meeting Summary with AI Companion," a feature designed to make your meetings more efficient and productive.
And Canva has something magical in store - "Magic Studio™," where you can access all the power of AI in one place. This innovative feature is a game-changer for graphic designers and content creators, and I'll tell you exactly why.

Listen to the earlier episodes to get the manifestation basics, that core foundation stuff is key, don’t worry about the rest for now.
I linked the very first episode and you definitely want to start from there and work your way up. I truly appreciate her earlier episode because it focuses on the fundamentals.
The more recent episodes (let’s say from #125 onwards) you have to comb through a lot of interviews and other more advanced things to find the simple advice we all need at times that initiates that mental shift.

#069-My Truth with Battling Depression & Entrepreneurship
This episode I get transparent and vulnerable around my challenges with depression and entrepreneurship. To be clear this episode is not make you feel sorry for me but to create awareness and hopefully normalize the conversation around mental health issues.
I touch on things like:
- The undertones of mental health themes in my own content
- stats around mental health and being a business owner
- I hope you have a better understanding of the risk of mental health as you either start business or be in business for years
- understand that it’s nothing to be ashamed about but rather be aware of so you can manage it
- how much having a support system is (friends and family yes, but sometimes you simple need therapy, even on the good days, therapy keeps you thriving)
- therapy is not magic, it's literally no different than going to visit the doctor, it truly does help you feel better, sometimes it's immediate, sometimes it hurts but physical pain is no more important than the pain we cannot see
- why did I start, how was the first session and what was the journey like since

#059-What To Do When Clients Ghost You
Listen...if you thought ghosting only happened in your personal relationships, think again.
When a client expresses interest in working with you, gets on a discovery/consultation call, raves about how great you are then its crickets after...you've been ghosted.
I have been ghosted many a times and it is high time we address this 'ish. It is NOT cool. Now I have done it in the past and I am sure you have to be it really isn't right.
Whatever the reason we choose not to work with someone nothing is wrong with sending an email stating this. This does not have to be long winded email giving your whole life history but a simple, "unfortunately I have decided to go another route but thank you for your time" is sufficient.
On this episode of Tea Time the Podcast I share with you:
- what it means to be ghosted
- possible reasons why you may get ghosted
- how to make peace with the fact that you have been ghosted

#055-Instagram's Continuous Focus On Video And What That Means For You
So time to spill ALL the tea about the latest Instagram announcement/ update...sigh.
By now you may or may not have heard that Instagram is no longer a photo sharing app. Now to be honest, Instagram is annoying (a huge understatement) to say to say the least and I am certain others share the same sentiment.
People are either freaking out, pissed, and others excited for the new opportunity that awaits. In my IG Stories you guys were 50/50 when it came to voting for Adapting VS Losing Focus...
It's a bit of both in my opinion.
There is a fine line between evolution and being obsessed with the competition.
I have no problem with evolution but when you are constantly rolling out new features that many countries don't have access too, is super frustrating.
How are you going to continue to focus on new features and areas that many people don't have access too? You want us to do more of "this" but don't give "this" to us, should we assume this app is no longer for certain regions?
So instead of competing with TikTok, you're essentially sending many regions over to TikTok.
However I believe you can still have success on this app just that if you don't have certain features you have to get even more creative than those who do.
Click play on this podcast episode to listen in on how you can still navigate Instagram and find success within in the app along with the brand lessons and takeaways for your own business.

Even if you are not in a country experiencing a lockdown or severe restrictions. The point is how do we deal with grief in our business or in our personal lives and still show up to push the needle forward in our businesses.
More people than not are putting on a brave face amidst adversity and like you many people are dealing with anxiety, depression, riddled with fear, etc and you are simply not alone in this. This episode explores the grief we must come to terms with at times in our business. Grief is not only something you experiencing with the passing of a loved one.

#050-What the hell is consistency anyway? I'll tell you...
We are at Episode 50 of the podcast, what a milestone. It took a lot of consistency to make it past years of podcasting to reach episode 50. And as such it was only fitting to talk a little bit about what consistency is and it's not what typically hear in the online business space.

In this episode I share with you what my 2020 looked like. It was the year that everyone could not wait to end.

I was able to launch something truly amazing which I am sure you would love to hear about. So click play and listen to what the heck Covid-19 did to me in 2020.

#041-What is Patriotism? What does it really mean?
What is Patriotism? And What does it really mean to you?
As you listen to this episode I want to you to sit and think what does Patriotism mean to you as a national of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago? Last week Trinidad and Tobago celebrated Republic Day. And on Republic Day I did not think about our nationals stranded abroad. Like most I probably griped I could not go to the beach. What a privilege huh? In this episode I also shared some thoughts from someone who had Covid-19 in T&T, how they got it and what other disease they compared it too.
Anyway take a listen to this episode, it's a different pace of episode to my norm, but all of the things, it definitely need to be said, aired, discussed and I am not afraid to speak up for what is right. Take a break from discussing bacchanal and let's be more constructive, because let's be real the only reason we care so much about the sou sou is not because we care about other people's financial literacy. It's more about being drawn to discuss sweet sweet bacchanal.
By the end of this episode hopefully you may understand what Patriotism means to me.
#040-Things I don't like about the pandemic
As a follow up to my last episode, it was only fair to share a few things I don't like about the pandemic so as to bring a bit of balance to the conversation. There is a such thing as toxic positivity so balance is needed so as to allow everyone to feel heard in their circumstance and experience of the pandemic.
I hope you appreciate this little series and two part episode that while is not quite on the topic of business tips but more a holistic approach to our lives today, as entrepreneurs, mompreneurs, people who are professionals working from home, etc.
This episode I recorded from my car and I must say the sounds quality was not so bad, do I dare say it's better than some of the episodes that were done in the home office where there all these random noises and unplanned noises from rain and other things outside of my control.
Maybe I should ditch my office and record from my car from now on, what do you think? haha

#039-5 Things I Like...Yes Like...About the Pandemic
In this episode I reflect on these past few months experiencing a life during a pandemic that requires us to social distance and while most definitely this is a very serious matter and changes our lives as we know there are a couple silver linings that I am sure if you were honest with yourself and reflected you might find some things you might like too, and if not I completely understand, I do plan on following up this episode with the things I don't know like about the pandemic but I thought it was time to highlight some of the positives and the silver lining in all of the chaos.
Please remember while there are things that I like, it is not to make light of the situation, and please wear your mask, sanitize and social distance as much humanly possible. Stay safe.

#036-Why every entrepreneur, mompreneur and woman needs a Self-Love Retreat
Week before last week, I started to feel as though I was constantly going without end and proper relaxation. With kids constant prattling in my head since March 13th paired with the demands are running a business and serving clients every need. I needed to get away.
I craved silence so much and the nightly alone time seemed sorely insufficient.
I knew it was time to go back to my roots. I neglected this part of my life and my heritage for an unusually long period. It was at that moment I knew what I needed to do. Like old time sake head to Plymouth, Tobago.
✨ Hop on a plane to the sister isle before we end up in lockdown again because at this rate...well if you know you know. So here’s the thing. Self care is important. Imma say that AGAIN. Self care is important. It is not selfish it is GOOD. Funny enough through my aunt who is going to be 87 years old confirmed that doing these types of things for self is the secret to long life. So if you don’t take it from me. Take it from her.
✨ She said “people need time away from kids and husbands, when you come back you gain so much clarity”.
You just need SILENCE.
So in this podcast episode I shared all of the Tea from my great Aunt, mother, successful female entrepreneur, ambassador for Tourism in Tobago. I also share my insights, ah-ha moments, and my discoveries as through silence the messages were able to come through a lot more clearly. Sometimes we simply need to silence the noise instead of always trying to "rise above the noise" on social media.
We all need a break!
#035-How to Sell on Social Media ft. Jhalisa John
On this week's episode of Tea Time | The Podcast with Cassia Marina, I am joined by the lovely and fellow sassy girl boss Jhalisa John. I invited her finally onto my podcast for the first time to talk all about selling on social media, content creation and how to really do content creation and social media the right way. No for real, a lot of what you find on the internet about content creation and social media is really surface level and a lot of fluff and Jhalisa is so super talented at what she does. Social media and content creation is simply not just about posting!
We also connect the dots and differentiate how what we do is both different yet connected and how both our areas of expertise is a compliment to each other and if how what you should be doing it working on both aspects of your business to create a brand on these internet streets smarter and more strategically.

#034-How to Have Many Businesses in One Website
Q&A Segment: Can I build one website to host multiples businesses/ interests?
A few weeks ago Samantha @samantha.r.carter asked "I wanted to know a tasteful way to incorporate multiples businesses on one website..."
So here I am to answer an excellent question, because I am sure many persons have been in this dilemma. They just haven't launched a website for any of their interests because they just wasn't sure how from a brand/ business strategy perspective.
Feel free to send me more questions so maybe your question can be answered in a video just like this one!

#033-How to Protect Your Personal and Business Brand Online with Akilah Phillip
In this episode I sit down with Akilah Phillip of Let's Talk Intellectual Property to discuss a few things in relation to the importance of trademarking especially in the online space where digital assets seem somewhat intangible. With intangible items the lines seem so blurred with regards to ownership. We see it everyday in copycats in so many spaces and areas especially online, especially digital products, ideas, creations, inventions, etc. It's why we have intellectual property law and for good reason.
If you are familiar with me and my brand you will know that I actively use the term branding queen in the past but not so much in recent times, in this episode I share all on what really went down.
Here are some of the things covered in this episode:
- online brand protection of intellectual property especially brand identity and digital assets
- why you should register a trademark for your brand name and symbol
- how to protect your brand name online even if you can't afford to do it officially yet
- the importance of trademark categories and different classifications
- why I stepped back from the term "the branding queen"
- how your domain is a brand asset and a form of trademark protection
and how you can actually be paid well for domain ownership, maybe even get rich
