Hindsight's 2020
Andrea Sieminski
Hindsight’s 2020 is a podcast that gives voice to the stories and lessons learned during 2020, a year that saw our collective cortisol levels at an all time high! My goal is to share stories in a safe space where it’s ok to be who we are, feel what we feel and to know we’re not alone. To build a community where we can unclench our jaws, let our guard down for just a little while and maybe even have a laugh or two. So let’s lift one another up, learn from each other how to put one foot in front of the other and let the healing begin...because Hindsight’s 2020.
Episode 19 | Sonal Damani
This episode was recorded on May 20, 2021 and is especially dear to me because I'm speaking with my cousin about her grieving process over the loss of our grandmother. Little did I know -- two and a half weeks later -- my dad would pass away suddenly and unexpectedly. If I'm being honest, I have not listened to this episode in its entirety. Nor have I listened to any of the last five episodes I taped from late April through May; however, I'm dropping all of them (S1 Episodes 15-19) now for my listeners to hear. Their stories deserve to be told and listened to because they are incredibly resilient stories that we can all learn from. I'm simply not in a place to listen because I'm sure I reference my father in many of these discussions. I promise to end this season with Episode 20 - where I'll take to the mic and wrap things up. Until then, I really hope you enjoy the final 5 guests of Season 1 of Hindsight's 2020. With love, Andrea

Episode 18 | Kelly Tabayoyon
This episode was recorded on May 17, 2021. On today’s episode I’m chatting with my friend and hairstylist Kelly about how the pandemic forced her out of the workforce. We also talk about the changes she and her family had to make when she was able to go back to work. This was such an effortless recording, I felt like I was sitting in her chair at the salon and we were just gabbing away. I hope you all enjoy Kelly’s perspective on 2020...
