When adversity does arrive, let's confront it head-on so we can quickly return to the bliss of life.Consider this podcast a soft place to land and share your own story.

    Intentions, Justice & Self-Care with Lee

    Send us a text In this thought-provoking and deeply personal episode, Siobhan and Lee dive into the power of understanding intentions behind actions, sparked by a heated debate Siobhan had at a bar—yes, even about something as extreme as becoming a Nazi. Lee emphasizes the importance of having difficult conversations to foster growth and deeper understanding, even when emotions run high. The conversation takes a personal turn as Lee opens up about her own struggles, including a traumatic break-in and the loss of a close friend, and how therapy and exercise have become vital tools in managing anxiety and depression. Together, they explore the challenge of balancing work, personal life, and mental health, while also finding ways to reclaim joy and creativity. Siobhan shares her admiration for Lee’s vibrant, artistic spirit, encouraging her to return to burlesque and creative expression. They also discuss Siobhan’s experience with the judicial system, her time in the courtroom, and why she’s fascinated by the process of justice and impartiality. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Ducking Realitea episode without some unexpected turns—like the importance of bidets and bathroom conveniences, because self-care takes many forms! Plus, Lee gives us a glimpse into her Etsy jewelry business, “Lee Evil Design,” and her plans to expand. It’s a mix of deep, raw truths and lighthearted moments—because life is both. Press play and join the conversation. 🎙️✨

    Touch of the Tism - Part 2

    Send us a text The conversation continues on this episode of Ducking Realitea’s Touch of the Tism: Part Two, where host Siobhan and her guests Danielle and Holly are joined by another familiar voice, Donna. This time, they dive even deeper into the realities of bartending in the Bay Area, sharing the chaos, the comedy, and the unwritten rules that come with life behind the bar. From the do’s and don’ts of tipping to the frustration of string ordering, they break down the etiquette that every bar regular should know. They swap stories about handling difficult customers, the legal risks of overserving, and the strange ways military presence has shaped local bar culture. Things get even more interesting when Siobhan calls out a guest for being secretive about her ideas, Danielle and Donna share their go-to tactics for shutting down problematic customers, and a jaw-dropping story emerges about a $13,000 bar tab. It’s a mix of humor, hard truths, and a behind-the-scenes look at an industry that’s equal parts exhilarating and exhausting. Whether you’ve worked behind the bar or just love a good bar story, this one’s worth a listen. Grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join the conversation.

    From Rock Bottom to Recovery With Oliver

    Send us a text  Siobhan and Oliver share their powerful journeys through addiction, reflecting on the profound toll it took on their lives. Oliver, once a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, became trapped in the cycle of addiction. His descent led to theft and a six-month jail sentence—a rock-bottom moment that ultimately became his turning point toward sobriety. Siobhan, meanwhile, was overmedicated with fentanyl, which clouded her memory and strained her relationships. Both describe addiction as a silent, insidious force that slowly erodes life from within. They stress the critical importance of support systems, with Oliver crediting his loved ones—especially Hannah, whose unwavering support played a pivotal role in his recovery. Together, they offer a raw, honest look at the path to healing and the strength it takes to rebuild a life.
