In September of 2011 Michael Russer began a personal transformation that included a diagnosis of prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, follow up intensive radiation treatments and full blown impotence.

Hardly Broken with Michael Russer.

Mark John Williams has sold over 50 million in residential real estate, has trained 1000s of new and experienced real estate agents, and ran a major real estate office in California for the largest real estate company in the US. And just 10 years ago, he was living in a friends garage wondering why he was a broke real estate agent. After realizing he was trying to be the square peg in the round hole, Mark embarked on 90 days of do or die.

Mark has now finished a best selling book called Selling On The Edge which he wrote word for word in order to infuse the industry with what he felt was missing in one o

Teamotions blends are unlike any other. By including adaptogens-herbs that restore balance, boost immunity, and increase the body’s resistance to stress-in every blend our teas help to foster and maintain both emotional and physical well-being. Adaptogens have been used for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 1940s when scientists explored the benefits of these natural substances in fighting stress, preventing and reducing illness, maintaining homeostasis, and strengthening the body. Because their main function is to normalize all systems of the body, adaptogens have limitless benefits and no side effects. Adaptogens are also safe and non-toxic*. We take care to blend each tea to be as beautiful and delicious as they are effective. Each cup of tea provides an enjoyable and comforting experience from start to finish. We use only whole leaf tea, whole herbs and botanicals, and only all natural organic flavorings. All of our teas and herbs are inspected by hand in an organic compliant facility, blende
