Tiger Purrr Chai Lover:

Alysia James

Where do you live?

Manly (in Sydney’s beautiful northern beaches)

What do you do?

I help people find connection to either their purpose (unofficially as a mum, friend & colleague) or a collective organisational purpose (officially as a strategic business consultant).

What do you love about Tiger Purrr chai?

For me, it’s the ritual of Tiger Purr that allows me to slow down and take a moment to reconnect with myself. And the delicious flavours & aromas nurture me. The whole experience is like being wrapped in a warm blanket.

How do you like to drink Tiger Purrr chai?

Brewing the chai in warmed oat milk is my favourite as it makes for a richer flavour, but I also enjoy brewing the chai spices in a teapot with hot water and a splash of oat milk.

What’s your purpose in this world?

Honestly, I’m not 100% sure yet but intuitively I think I’m here to help people connect (to themselves & others) in a way that provides improved health & happiness – and it starts with creating ‘connected’ businesses in which people spend so much time & energy.

What inspires you?

People who live with purpose and who are graceful about it. My kids inspire me every day in how they approach the world; how curious their minds are and how kind they are. And nature inspires me so much – there is beauty everywhere around us, every single day.

What do you do to keep your vibration high?

I am slowly realising that to maintain a higher vibration I need to slow right down – I need to hold the space to rest & recharge (that is pretty new for me). I am also learning that I need to fiercely protect my boundaries and live in line with my values (…and not anyone else’s).
