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.

Chamaine Wofford has been building things since she was a teenager, but opening Vinyl Wine Bar & Shop may be the hardest thing she’s ever done.

She joins Siobhan to talk about growing up gifted and ambitious in South Carolina, spending 12 years in speech therapy, raising children as a single mom, developing her palate through travel, and bootstrapping a destination wine bar at Alameda Point.

They dig into being underestimated as a Black woman, learning to step away from your own business before it steals your joy, and what happens when the strong woman doing all the nurturing realizes she deserves to be nurtured too.

Plus: small-producer wines, Champagne with caviar and truffle chips, Depeche Mode, a few opinions about Napa, and the belief that hospitality matters even more in a world where so many people are lonely.

Good wine. Good music. Good vibes. No proving you belong.
