DEBUT EPISODE
Recorded & Livestreamed
Friday, April 10, 2026
The Fierce & Fearless Podcast officially goes LIVE for the very first time—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real. This debut episode dives into what it truly means to exist in a world that wasn’t built with you in mind, from autism and masking to social pressure, rejection, and identity. We break down neurodivergent communication, the lack of authentic disability representation in mainstream media, and why building your own platform isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. No sugarcoating. No “inspiration porn.” Just real talk, real perspective, and the beginning of something powerful.
We originally planned to go live at 7:00 PM MST, but ran into unexpected technical issues connecting the podcast studio to YouTube through the main control room. Instead of stopping, we adapted in real time—rerouting the livestream through a separate setup with the help of fellow Denver Community Media producer Matt Struck. The show went live about 30 minutes later than planned, proving exactly what this podcast stands for: pushing through obstacles, staying authentic, and delivering the message no matter what—ALL THE WAY LIVE.

YOUR GUT IS LYING TO YOU

Friday, May 1, 2026
They say the water is clean. They say your diet is fine. They say you’re healthy.
But what if that’s all bullshit?
In Episode 2, we rip into the reality of what’s going into your body every single day. Deanna Romero from Ultimate Balanced Health joins us to expose the truth about contaminated water, toxic buildup, and why traditional healthcare ignores the root of the problem.
We’re talking detox, internal cleansing, and the fight to take your health back—without waiting for permission from a broken system.

Unfiltered. Uncomfortable. Necessary.
