Who and What are we? Why does the podcast exist? Why would you want to listen?
Street Urchin Studios started as a joke… When the idea was born Tuuli said she wanted to trauma dump to the internet about retail. For years she has thrown the idea around about talking to a mic and hoping that someone would listen. See Tuuli is an extrovert that likes to talk a lot. She is also full of opinions and ideas like there is no tomorrow. Many have told her that her life should be a movie or she should write a book with how much she’s done and been through. This is the start of her sharing her story, but not alone…
After a few years of saying she was going to do it, she finally found the right people to join on the craziness that she wanted to put out in the world. See Tuuli was a store manager of a retail establishment, as she hired more people corporate didn’t want her to be friends with her employees… that of course doesn’t happen when you spend 5 days a week with people as they are not robots. So now we introduce the other characters you might see or hear from….
Kristen is the first soul we would like to introduce, she is actually the person the name came from…. wellllll inadvertently, we can thank her mom for that. Her mom called her friends street urchins because we have tattoos, piercings and cuss like sailors. We live our life our way and not how other tell us we should and when Kristen meet us all she followed down the path that she has wanted to go down for years but was to scared to because of judgement from her mom. Kristen is the “I’m down for anything friend… but advance notice and prep would be nice and I might say no at the last second”. She is a tech genius and honestly could nerd talk her way out of anything. She full of her own trauma, options and confusion, for now we’ll just leave it at that.
Kristen and Tuuli will be the two main hosts of the trauma bonding experience that we have created. But we are not alone, there is a whole group of people you may see. So with no promises here are some of the other unhinged individuals you might hear from…
First we have Marie, she can’t be described easily. She is a lot of everything all the time, energy she has it, opinions she’s got one, filter…. oh nope not really. Marie is a mom trying to make it through life while trying to do the best for her family and still live a life for herself. She cares for her family more than anything you could ever imagine, we have seen the self proclaimed “Mama Bear” in action and when she’s on a roll it’s best to be behind her. But as of recently she has started to see her future more clearly as retail is not longer her calling as her kids have gotten older and she is soooo ready to share her thoughts on everything you could imagine.
Next we have Emma, this is Maire’s 17 year old going on 21 year old daughter. She is ready to take on the world, even though the world doesn’t quite know where she fits yet. Emma is just like her mom full of energy and honestly doesn’t have much of a filter either. She has not done much retail, but we feel that her on the show will definitely show a younger view of some other topics we have for the podcast, including thoughts on the school system and todays parenting roles. Emma is not scared to speak her mind as long as she knows her voice will be heard and we hope that the young voice will be as equal as the older ones as they are all important to our world.
A few other voices might be heard through out time as many of our friends want to be involved in the trauma dump of this podcast. But as we are unsure who will eventually join us I wanted to keep those special guests name quite for a moment.
Why would you want to Listen?
Do you work in Retail? Do you have opinions of the BS of the world? What about have trauma with Narcissistic Parents? Or even just conversations about mental heath?There are so many topics that are on the slate for us to talk about. If you enjoy just listening to unhinged chaos, consisting of a lot of ADHD and nothing fake, then this is the place for you.
The goal is for us to share our stories and find a community that can connect to us. For a very long time our group of friends has spent hours on end talking and helping each other through life struggles. Finding friends and a community that truly understands you is one of the most important things. Even if just one person listens to us and connects to us then we have accomplished the goal we set out to do.
It takes 12 minutes of talking to someone to change their day. We believe that even if we are not talking directly to you, it still makes a difference if you can connect to us in anyway. To be able to find a community of people that feel what you feel or have felt what you felt is something everyone should have the opportunity to have.
But we also come to laugh and entertain in our stories. None of us claim to be funny…. even though somehow we are always laughing and having a good time. It is known that with trauma comes humor and all of us most definitely have that.
So if you are Ready to Laugh, Cry, Judge and Feel Heard… Go listen to our podcast!
