Episode Description

<p>We made it — Season 13 is officially in the books! In this special season ender, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down to reflect on the incredible humans who shared their stories with us this season.</p> <p>This season has been about resilience, rediscovery, and purpose — all of us taking the hard sh!t life throws and turning it into something that helps others. That’s what makes <em><i>Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads,</i></em> what it is: a place for real talk, no stigma, no judgment.</p> <p>We’re honored to have won the <strong>2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award (Best Health)</strong> and the <strong>2024 Women in Podcasting Award (Best Mental Health Podcast)</strong> — and with <strong>over 2 million downloads</strong>, it’s clear this community is growing stronger every day.</p> <p>💬 We’d love your feedback — leave us a written or voice review here: <a href="https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a" target="_blank">https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a</a></p> <p>✨ Mental health reminder: “Every time you share your story, you unlock someone else’s prison.”</p> <hr> <h3><strong>💸 Grab Your Free $20 Wellness Credit from Maavee</strong></h3> We’ve partnered with Maavee, a wellness platform doing amazing things in mental health. <p>How to claim:</p> <ol> <li>Click: <a href="https://preview.kit-mail1.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9sbmsuZ29tYWF2ZWUuY29tL2lub3VyaGVhZHM=" target="_blank">https://lnk.gomaavee.com/inourheads</a>​</li> <li>Use activation code: <strong>STG20</strong> (required to unlock the credit)</li> <li>Download the app + explore</li> </ol> <h3></h3> <h3>🎧 Episode Description</h3> <p>⚠️ <strong>Trigger Notice:</strong> This episode touches on grief, trauma, and eating disorders.

We revisit each guest, starting with Susan’s gut-wrenching yet powerful three-parter on grief, rolling into Jennifer’s brilliant <em>Moody Monster</em>, Kim’s wisdom on food and emotions, Dr. Paul’s refreshing “whole human” approach to medicine, Laurie’s badass resilience after loss and betrayal, Simon’s late ADHD/autism diagnosis and advocacy work, and Dr. Nina breaking down what our food cravings <em>really</em> mean.</p> <p>This episode is part recap, part gratitude fest, and part pep talk for what’s next. You’ll hear us laugh, reflect, drop a few f-bombs (because duh), and tease Season 14. Think of this one as a highlight reel with heart — a reminder of how far we’ve come as a community and why these stories matter. If you’ve been with us since Episode 1 or you just jumped in this season, this episode ties it all together with a big bow of hope, resilience, and “holy shit, we survived another one.” 💜</p> <h3></h3> <h3>👥 Meet Our Guests (Season 13 Lineup)</h3> <p>This wasn’t just a season — it was a movement.
