Tracie Reams, Siobhan’s very first guest, returns to Ducking Realitea for a raw, heartfelt catch-up on life’s twists and turns. After leaving her role as Clinical Director due to surgeries and health setbacks, Tracie found herself unexpectedly terminated, just a week before a crucial doctor’s appointment. As her own healing journey unfolded, she also stepped into the role of caregiver for her father, who’s now battling dementia after a series of falls.

Between managing disability, navigating pain management, and recovering from a recent TIA, Tracie has leaned even deeper into her greatest medicine: music. She shares how songwriting became both therapy and creative fire, and how performing again helps her stay connected to joy, even through uncertainty.

Siobhan and Tracie dive into the messy middle of it all, health, finances, relationships, non-monogamy, bisexuality, and the power of radical honesty. Through it all, Tracie remains grounded in gratitude for her community, her creativity, and the stubborn spark that keeps her singing when life gets loud.
