Ducking Realitea

Casual Conversations About Serious Sh*t.

Real Stories. Raw Moments. Big Joy.
Hosted by Siobhan

Welcome to Ducking Realitea, the podcast where we spill truth like tea and dive into the gritty, hilarious, and healing parts of being human. Hosted by Siobhan, this show is all about casual conversations with real people who’ve lived through some serious sh*t and came out the other side with stories worth sharing.

From trauma to transformation, heartbreak to humor, we explore what it means to rebuild your life, trust your gut, and find joy even in the mess. These are the stories behind the strength, raw, unfiltered, and deeply human.

If you're craving connection, curious about how others have healed, or just need a reminder that you’re not alone, this pod’s for you.

Grab your beverage of choice (or roll one up), and join us each week for soulful storytelling with a side of sass. Let’s rebel against the noise, talk about what actually matters, and maybe even laugh our way through the chaos.

Because here at Ducking Realitea, we believe:

Your story matters. Vulnerability is power. And joy is always worth chasing.

This week in The Pond, Siobhan sits down with singer, performer, and emcee Sheena Lokelani for a wildly honest, laugh-through-the-chaos conversation about music, motherhood, dating, and growing into your power. Sheena shares how her journey started in a Filipino family band in her twenties, paused for parenting, and then unexpectedly reignited through open mics (including one gloriously chaotic, slightly drunk first attempt at Fireside).

From there it’s festival stages, packed restaurants, and emceeing crowds of 17,000, while still getting stage fright every single time. They dive into what almost made her quit music (spoiler: too many opinions from men), how she reclaimed it as therapy instead of pressure, and wander through divorce, co‑parenting with respect, online dating disasters, perimenopause realness, and raising emotionally intelligent teens.

Funny, tender, political without being preachy, and deeply human, this episode is about saying yes to the scary stuff, protecting your energy, and remembering that being kind, and having standards, is still radical.
