It's A Surreal Life
🎙️ It’s a Surreal Life
Not your average healing podcast. We go there and we take you with us.
It’s a Surreal Life is where raw storytelling meets real transformation. Hosted by Sirel Rayburn and each episode dives into the messy, magical process of becoming; from life’s hardest spirals to the breakthroughs that change everything.
Here, nothing is off limits: motherhood, identity shifts, addiction, jail time, spirituality, trauma, Human Design, and the real work of starting over. We speak the truths most people keep quiet, because we believe healing out loud creates a ripple effect.
✨ Feel it. Speak it. Live it.
Welcome to the podcast where surreal stories spark real transformation.

In this conversation, Sirel, Tristan & Jana explore themes of nostalgia, generational perspectives, self-destruction, coping mechanisms, and the journey of healing from toxic relationships. They discuss the impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior, the normalization of alcohol as a coping mechanism, and the importance of emotional intelligence in parenting. The dialogue emphasizes the need for self-discovery, validation, and the acceptance of emotions as part of personal growth.
