Send a textThis week in The Pond, Siobhan sits down with singer, performer, and emcee Sheena Lokelani for a wildly honest, laugh-through-the-chaos conversation about music, motherhood, dating, and growing into your power. Sheena shares how her journey started in a Filipino family band in her twenties, paused for parenting, and then unexpectedly reignited through open mics (including one gloriously chaotic, slightly drunk first attempt at Fireside). From there it’s festival stages, packed restaurants, and emceeing crowds of 17,000, while still getting stage fright every single time. They dive into what almost made her quit music (spoiler: too many opinions from men), how she reclaimed it as therapy instead of pressure, and wander through divorce, co‑parenting with respect, online dating disasters, perimenopause realness, and raising emotionally intelligent teens. Funny, tender, political without being preachy, and deeply human, this episode is about saying yes to the scary stuff, protecting your energy, and remembering that being kind, and having standards, is still radical.Support the show
