The Tea with Auric B

DISRUPT - PART 2 Oct 21, 2025

The story that made your jaw drop last week? Yeah… it gets worse...

Last week’s episode left you shaken, stirred, and maybe reaching for a Xanax?!?! YEP SAME! LOL

Welcome to the second half of the story I’ve never told publicly — until now.

If you thought the tea was hot before… grab a fire extinguisher, babe.

This episode picks up at the lowest point of my life — when everything I thought I was building came crashing down. My dream job turned into a waking nightmare, and what happened next was the kind of disruption that changes a person at the cellular level.

But true to form, I don’t stay down for long.
Because disruption doesn’t just destroy — it redirects.
And when you alchemize that kind of darkness?
You don’t just rise…
You f*cking resurrect.

This one’s not for the faint of heart.
But it might just be the episode that wakes something up in you.

DISRUPT Oct 14, 2025

Some stories change you.
This one wrecked me.

Before all of this...the healing, the alchemy, the house I built from my own fire...I was just a brand-new trauma nurse at Vanderbilt. Wide-eyed. Hungry. Walking straight into what I thought was my dream job.

But what happened next?
It shattered everything.

In this episode, I share the part of my life I’ve never told. Not publicly. Not like this.

This is the moment everything came undone. It’s the lowest chapter of my life, the one that nearly took me out - emotionally, mentally, spiritually. But it’s also the moment that started it all… the unraveling that led to becoming the version of me that could finally breathe.

If you’ve ever had your world fall apart and wondered if anything good could come from it...this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen to DISRUPTION now.

Because sometimes the moment that breaks you… is the exact one that sets you free.

UNMASKED Oct 07, 2025

This isn’t just the premiere of Season 2... it’s a rebirth!

In this raw, unfiltered episode, Auric peels back the layers and exposes the truth behind what happens when your entire life is built around a mask. The persona. The perfection. The polished image you thought would keep you safe — until it doesn’t.

This is the story of what happens when that mask shatters.

What’s left when everything you thought made you “you” suddenly isn’t real anymore?

Auric walks you through the moment everything cracked… and how what looked like a breakdown turned out to be the beginning of an awakening. From burnout and identity crises to truth, grief, and ultimate realignment — this is a front-row seat to the metamorphosis.

If you’ve ever built your life to be admired but not actually lived… this one’s going to hit hard.

Welcome to Season 2.

It’s unfiltered. It’s unapologetic. It’s time.

🔊 Click play. The mask is coming off for all of us!

Don't Piss Off The Nurses Jun 23, 2020

It’s 2020. If we have learned anything this year it’s the we are fed up with racist, homophobic ridiculousness of human beings and we won’t stand for it. And one would think that people would already know to not piss off nurses as well. Like Mrs. Maureen and her playing cards comment. But yet again here we are with another massive degrading comment to nurses to hit the main stream that is social media and how you don’t bite the hands that assist you and get away with it these days. Josh dives into just a taste of all the crap that is thrown our way as nurses and discusses the degrading of our profession, the bullying, the demeaning comments, the lack of appropriate pay, and our well beings as nurses and how we just won’t tolerate it any longer.

The New Normal Jun 09, 2020

In The New Normal, Josh talks about what life before the COVID shut down looked like and all the success it brought. But also makes us think if it’s truly healthy for us in the long run.

One that allows you to enjoy the journey on your way to your destination. After all, all work and no play is no way to be hunTEA!

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.
