Tea will be served heart-warming, unsweetened, and piping hot.
Timothy Sykes - From Millions to Meaning (The Truth About Money No One Tells You)
Most people think they know Timothy Sykes...
Fast money, big trades, Wolf of Wall Street energy.
But what they don’t see is the other side of his story.
Through his charity Karmagawa, Tim has helped build over 130 schools across 30+ countries, changing the lives of tens of thousands of children through education. And the way he talks about that impact is completely different to how most people in the finance world talk about success.
Yes, he turned $12,000 into millions before graduating college. Yes, he lived the lifestyle people think they want. But he’s also the first to admit that left him feeling empty.
And that’s where this conversation gets interesting.
At a time where the internet is saturated with “get rich, don’t care, dominate everything” energy - especially in the finance space - Tim quietly goes in the opposite direction. He’s still competitive, still obsessed, still driven… but instead of chasing more money, he’s using that same intensity to build something that actually matters.
This isn’t a soft, feel-good conversation either.
It’s honest, chaotic at times, but surprisingly grounding. We get into the reality behind success, the pressure, the mistakes, the ego, and what happens when you realise money alone doesn’t fulfil you. It’s about redefining what winning actually looks like, and why the mindset that makes you successful can either build your life… or leave you feeling completely unfulfilled.
If you’ve ever questioned what it is you really want, Tim has got the TEA!

From building her career from scratch to navigating rejection, reinvention, motherhood, and finding her voice in a world that constantly tries to shape it… Laura Whitmore opens up in a way you’ve never seen before.
We get into the reality behind “overnight success,” the moments of imposter syndrome no one talks about, and what it really takes to keep reinventing yourself. We also dive into motherhood, pressure, and balance - and what it means to use your voice, even when it comes with backlash.
And of course… we bond over tea, Irish biscuits, and the fact that putting the kettle on fixes everything ☕
This one feels like sitting down with a friend who’s lived a thousand lives - and still doesn’t take herself too seriously.
From setbacks to breakthroughs... over a Barry's cuppa tea.

Nikita Gill - The Feminine Rage Revolution
Poet. Storyteller. Firestarter.

Why women are called “too much.” Why being “oversensitive” is actually strength. And why rejection isn’t the end.From calling out misogyny to dismantling rigid gender roles, from Britney Spears and girlhood to political speeches and poetic resistance, this episode explores what it means to take up space without apology.It’s about turning anger into action.
It’s about not dimming your shine.It’s about holding your ground in a world that constantly tries to shrink women.If you’ve ever been told you’re too loud, too emotional, too ambitious, too political — this conversation is for you.
The TEA is fierce. And so is she.

Mid 30's : Meltdown or Ultimate Power Move?
Amy goes solo with a birthday episode - and it’s not the polite kind.Turning 34 hits different. Not because of age, but because of clarity.This episode gets brutally honest about what really happens to women in their 30s and beyond: time suddenly feels faster, conversations subtly change, and while men seem to age into authority, women quietly age into evaluation. Casually. Systemically. Like no one’s meant to notice.There’s talk of birthdays, motherhood, ambition, aging, and why women don’t lose power as they get older - they gain it. They just become harder to rush, harder to fool, and much harder to control.It’s not a rant. It’s not a lecture. And it’s definitely not about “aging gracefully.”It’s about aging loudly, clearly, and unapologetically.Think of it as a group chat voice note with:No faux positivity.No shrinking.Just the TEA on life.Here’s to getting Hotter. Happier. Older. ☕

Ed Westwick - Ego Out. Fatherhood in.
From the Upper Eastside to The Tea Shop.
In this episode of What’s the Tea, Amy?, Amy puts the kettle on for her husband, actor Ed Westwick, for a conversation that feels more like a late-night kitchen chat than a podcast.
There’s talk of his new Netflix series (the one that quietly derailed their honeymoon), life after Gossip Girl, and what really happens when the cameras stop rolling. But it’s the in-between moments that make this episode: the banter, the honesty, the shared history, and the unfiltered reality of marriage, fatherhood, and growing up in public.
This isn’t perfected or performative it’s the kind of conversation you lean into because you can relate!
Expect laughter, warmth, a LOT of chaos, and the kind of chemistry you can’t script.
Pull up a chair. Ed Westwick is spilling the TEA.

The People Pleaser Has Left The Building
Bra off. Kettle on. Sit down. Let’s talk.
The first solo episode of What’s the Tea, Amy? - no guests, no script, just things being said out loud.
People-pleasing. Overthinking. That moment when you realise you’re just done.
And a nod to why everyone suddenly seems obsessed with 2016 again.
Nothing preachy.
Nothing polished.
Just real life, mid-thought.
Plus, the first Tea for Two where we sip & share.
In this deeply honest episode, Amy sits down with Stacey Dooley for a proper cuppa and a real conversation - the kind that moves effortlessly from laughter to lump-in-your-throat moments.
Stacey opens up about motherhood, identity, and the quiet griefs no one prepares you for. From navigating work as a new mum, slowing down in a culture obsessed with hustle, and choosing presence over constant ambition - to the heartbreaking reality of pregnancy loss and finding strength in vulnerability - nothing is brushed over or sugar-coated.
They talk Scouse roots, raising children with spirit (and opinions), the loss of freedom that comes with parenthood, and why being “soft” doesn’t mean being weak. Stacey reflects on her journey from Luton Airport to the world’s most dangerous frontlines, why empathy is still her greatest tool, and how real conversations - not soundbites - are the only way forward.
