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 episode was supposed to be a quick promo.

You know… remind you about the live show, keep it tight, move on.

Yeah—no. That’s not what happened.

This episode of Touch of the Tism is part promo, part group therapy, and fully unfiltered. We’re gearing up for our first live show on April 4—bands, tastings, a fundraiser for Meals on Wheels—and we’re equal parts excited and slightly spiraling.

Between joking about turning 26 (again), bad ankles, and how sleeping wrong in your 30s can ruin your life… we get into the real stuff.

Holly opens up about losing her friend Nick and the kind of grief that doesn’t move in a straight line—the late-night thoughts, the guilt, the “what could I have done differently” spiral. Danielle talks about anxiety, doomscrolling, and how writing things out (even the stuff you never send) can pull you back from the edge. Siobhan brings it home with real talk on depression, safe spaces, and why “it’s okay to not be okay” actually matters.

We also talk about what years behind the bar teach you—how to read people, how to show up for strangers, and how much emotional labor goes into just… being human.

It’s chaotic, hilarious, tender, and deeply real.

And honestly?
This is exactly why we’re doing this live.
