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.

Broken to Brilliant Erik, Unfiltered
In this raw and riveting episode, Siobhan sits down with Erik, a man who’s stared down addiction, homelessness, and trauma, and somehow turned it all into purpose. From sleeping on the streets of San Francisco to finding love and stability, Erik’s story is a masterclass in resilience and radical self-reinvention.
With unflinching honesty, he opens up about multiple marriages, substance abuse, a near-fatal stabbing, and the unconventional paths that helped him heal, from psychedelic therapy and ketamine treatments to shamanic practices and hard-won self-compassion.
There’s a psychedelic twist, a lesson in empathy, and a reminder that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty. By the end, Erik proves that telling the truth out loud won’t rewrite your past, but it might just change your future.
