Trauma

Author: Siena & Toast November 1, 2022 Duration: 44:31
Trauma, it's a spectrum. This episode covers some everyday anecdotes and practices we’ve found helpful. Also, Toast shares the story of a traumatic experience from her young adulthood. It involved being raised evangelical Christian (when you’re gay) and being outed by a really good friend. Then we share some simple practices, perspectives, and aids that we've found helpful to process and support the healing journey.

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.
