08 Secrets & Game Changers

08 Secrets & Game Changers

Author: Siena & Toast June 19, 2018 Duration: 36:41
There are two kinds of people: those who are Growing and Glowing, and those who are Status Quo-ing.
The first group is reaching for and always raising the ceiling on their potential; for them, life is exciting and fulfilling.
The second group feels frustrated with living below their potential,  giving in to fear, staying inside of boxes too small for their spirit; it's a feeling of being trapped.
What separates the Status Quo from the Growing and Glowing?
That's what we talk about in this episode.  It has to do with the idea of relationship.  And it's what's we've learned in our own relationship, going on 17 years.

Siena & Toast have been partners in life and music since 2001, a married lesbian couple who are API and originally from Hawaii. They bring that unique perspective to every conversation on Live Your Love Story. This isn't about presenting a perfect facade; it's about the real, ongoing work of building a meaningful life together, rooted in their experiences within the LGBTQ community. You'll hear discussions that weave together personal stories with broader themes of culture, holistic health, and positive spirituality. The tone is intentionally uplifting and entertaining, but there's always an educational thread-whether they're exploring relationships, self-improvement, or what it means to be a progressive ally. Think of tuning in as a chance to sit with two friends who believe that personal growth and authentic connection are the foundations of any great love story. Their podcast offers a blend of warmth and practical insight, creating a space dedicated to being the best you can be, individually and within your communities. It’s about the daily choice to live intentionally, with joy and purpose.
