    <title>The Tea with Auric B</title>

    <description>Welcome to The Tea with Auric B! Where self-help gets drunk, spirituality gets messy, and the truth shows up in stilettos.

This is not your Pinterest-perfect, soft-voiced podcast about “finding your center.” Nope. This is raw, hilarious, sometimes offensive, always honest tea...spilled straight into your ears.

One week we’re diving deep into trauma, healing, awakenings, and the masks that keep us stuck. The next? We’re talking relationship advice, slut phases, nervous breakdowns, and maybe even deep throats. From shadow work to slutty times, from healing wounds to hexing exes, from nervous system regulation to WTF revelations...nothing is off-limits here!

I’m here to disrupt the way you see yourself, awaken you to the bullshit holding you back, spark the transformation you’ve been craving, and remind you that life is meant to be lived in full-blown thriving mode.

So if you’re ready to laugh, cry, cringe, and maybe clutch your pearls while your boyfriend writes me a thank-you note, hit play, my dahling.

Because this tea? It’s coming in HOT!!!

        <![CDATA[May is skin cancer awareness month which means you should do exactly what that title says and listen to this truth dropping episode of Tea Time! Dermatology expert Catie Boucher, FNP-C, DCNP, joins Josh this week to talk all about the stupid things they used to do to their skin back in the day to be tan. Double 30 minute baking appointments at the tanning salon seemed like a great idea at the time right?! BUT THAT PLAYBOY BUNNY STICKER WAS SOOO CUTE! (Insert massive eye roll) But now they have both become human cutting boards for skin cancer removal...that tan ain’t so cute now is it?! Learn from leading experts on why you need to divorce your tanning bed, stop frying your skin at the beach, how there is no such thing as a base tan, why SPF is the relationship you’ve always needed, and what products can help you reverse those not so cute sun spots on your face! Join Josh and Catie as they dive in skin deep on the ridiculousness that is skin cancer on a podcast episode that literally could save your life!

But 3 words that would start his journey to becoming the unicorn he was destined to be. And the reaction he got was priceless and totally unexpected!]]>

        <![CDATA[So before we spill the tea, get to know the unicorn behind Tea Time! Tox Josh, one of America’s Top 100 Aesthetic Injectors in the country, wasn’t always a free spoken, unfiltered, raw &amp; real individual slaying the aesthetics game. It took him awhile to find his voice. In a world of having to be someone he wasn’t, let’s take a journey back in time into his crazy (and hysterical) life to get to know Tox Josh and get ready to laugh and catch all the feels while you get an unfiltered look at how this people- pleasing, country-bumkin-confused AF boy found his inner unicorn and became unapologetically himself!
Part 1 will begin where it all started and living in Bean Station (yea you read that right) to the hormonal cluster f**k that is Middle School.]]>

This short intro spills the backstory behind the rebrand, the glow-up, and how <em>Tea Time with Tox Josh</em> became <em>The Tea with Auric B.</em> Consider Season 1 the messy, hilarious prequel to the new era of honesty, humor, and transformation that’s just begun.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[Get ready, dahlings!!! The Tea with Auric B is back and hotter than ever. This isn’t your polished, Pinterest-perfect self-help show. Oh no. This is raw, messy, hilarious, sometimes offensive, always honest truth served piping hot.

From shadow work to slutty times, from healing wounds to hexing exes, from nervous breakdowns to nervous system regulation… and yes, from deep dives to deep throats (oh yes lol)... nothing is off-limits here.

I’m here to disrupt, awaken, transform, and remind you that thriving beats surviving every damn time. So pour yourself a cup, clutch your pearls, and press play... because this tea is coming in HOT.]]>
