Shownotes

In this thoughtful and deeply honest conversation, I’m joined by Tonya Pieske—musician, writer, producer, and host of How to Tell Someone. Tonya shares how her lived experience with CPTSD and her background in fostering psychological safety shaped a podcast centered on safe, grounded, and consensual storytelling. We talk about what it truly means to hold space behind the mic, how to create guest conversations built on trust, and why podcasting should be more than content churn. Tonya also opens up about her one-woman DIY production process, creative capacity, and building a show with depth, nuance, and authenticity. If you want to create conversations that matter, this episode is for you.
