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. 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 Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads, what it is: a place for real talk, no stigma, no judgment. We’re honored to have won the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award (Best Health) and the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award (Best Mental Health Podcast) — and with over 2 million downloads, it’s clear this community is growing stronger every day. 💬 We’d love your feedback — leave us a written or voice review here: https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a ✨ Mental health reminder: “Every time you share your story, you unlock someone else’s prison.” 💸 Grab Your Free $20 Wellness Credit from Maavee We’ve partnered with Maavee, a wellness platform doing amazing things in mental health.

Please take care while listening. If you are struggling or in crisis, dial 988 in the U.S. for immediate support. You are never alone. 💜 This isn’t your average episode — it’s our Season 13 Ender, baby! 🎉 G-Rex and Dirty Skittles kick back and unpack the wild, emotional, and downright inspiring ride this season has been. We revisit each guest, starting with Susan’s gut-wrenching yet powerful three-parter on grief, rolling into Jennifer’s brilliant Moody Monster, 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 really mean. 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.” 💜 👥 Meet Our Guests (Season 13 Lineup) This wasn’t just a season — it was a movement. Our guests shared their most profound truths, and we’re better for it: Susan – Author & speaker who shared her grief journey and healing through faith and community. Jennifer – Creator of Moody Monster, helping kids (and adults!) name and manage emotions. Kim – Food & emotions coach who connected cravings with feelings in new, powerful ways. Dr. Paul – Compassionate physician championing holistic, whole-person medical care. Storm – Survivor, advocate, and total badass turning trauma into empowerment. Simon – Podcaster and advocate for ADHD/autism awareness, helping kids find their voices. Dr. Nina – Psychologist digging deep into emotional eating and healing from the inside out. 🔑 Key Takeaways Sharing your story isn’t just healing for you — it opens doors for others. Emotions and food are deeply connected than we realize. Doctors like Dr. Paul demonstrated that compassion in medicine is still alive. Resilience comes from choosing yourself, even when life kicks you down. ADHD and autism diagnoses in adulthood can bring relief, clarity, and purpose. Grief, anxiety, and trauma don’t define you — they can fuel growth. 🛠️ Actionable Items Practice naming your emotions daily — journaling, art, or even a “Moody Monster” can help. Notice what foods you crave and connect them to the emotions underlying them. Find a community (online, local, or through podcasts like this one) where you can share your story safely. 📚 References Mentioned Jennifer’s Moody Monster tool.

  • Dr. Nina on Binge Eating, Emotional Triggers, and Mental Health Recovery
    Food is never the problem—it’s the solution to the problem. That’s the game-changing perspective Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin brings to this episode of Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads. A psychoanalyst, bestselling author, and podcast host, Dr. Nina has made it her mission to help people overcome binge eating and emotional eating by addressing what’s really going on underneath. We’re honored to bring you this conversation fresh off our wins at the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award (Best Health) and the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award (Best Mental Health Podcast). With over 2 million downloads, our community is growing—and this talk with Dr. Nina is one you won’t want to miss. We swap stories about food as a form of comfort, donuts as a means of stress relief, and why being harsh to ourselves fuels the cycle. Dr. Nina explains her Food-Mood Formula, demonstrating how cravings indicate underlying needs—whether it’s comfort, anger, or loneliness. She also reminds us that changing our inner dialogue from “you’re not enough” to “I am enough” can transform not just eating habits, but our entire mental health journey. 💬 Share your thoughts after the episode—we want to hear from you! Drop written or voice feedback here: https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a “You can’t tear yourself down and lift yourself up at the same time.” – Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin Episode Description In this raw and honest conversation, Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin shares how binge-eating, emotional eating, and food struggles are never about food—they’re about what’s going on beneath the surface. From her Food-Mood Formula to the power of self-compassion, Dr. Nina helps us rethink comfort food, body image, and mental health with tools you can use right away. Keywords: Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin, binge-eating, emotional eating, mental health podcast, Food-Mood Formula, body image, food freedom, eating disorder recovery, self-compassion, therapy tools Meet Our Guest — Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin Dr. Nina Savelle Rocklin is a psychoanalyst, author, and podcast host known worldwide for her groundbreaking work in the psychology of eating. As the founder of The Binge Cure Method, she helps people break free from emotional eating, enabling them to feel good in their bodies and lives. Her message—“It’s not what you’re eating, it’s what’s eating at you”—has reached listeners in 57 countries. 🌐 Website: https://drninainc.com/ 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drnina4help/ Why does she matter? Because Dr. Nina isn’t just another “diet culture” expert. She lived through eating disorders herself, healed, and now dedicates her life to showing us that food freedom comes from compassion, not willpower. Key Takeaways Food is rarely the problem—it’s a response to deeper emotional needs. The “Food-Mood Formula” links cravings with emotions such as comfort, anger, or loneliness. Self-criticism fuels destructive cycles; self-compassion opens the door to healing. Success isn’t about “not eating the donut”—it’s about noticing why you want it. Changing inner dialogue from “you” to “I” strengthens self-worth and mental health. Actionable Items Next time you crave food, pause and ask: What’s eating at me? Switch self-talk to first person—replace “You’re not good enough” with “I’m doing my best.” Comfort yourself the way you’d comfort a loved one—use words, not food.

  • The 13 Hour Life Coach: Simon’s Journey with ADHD, Autism, and Healing
    In this episode, Simon takes us inside his raw and remarkable journey of living with ADHD and autism — from 42 years of silence and memory loss, to discovering his inner voice “Mo,” to building strategies that help him and others thrive. We explore the impact of late diagnosis, the challenges of medication, the healing power of podcasting, and the unexpected ways light language is giving non-speaking autistic kids a voice. Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is proud to be the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award Winner for Health and the 2024 Women In Podcasting Award Winner for Best Mental Health Podcast. With over 2 million downloads, we’re here to break stigma, amplify real stories, and remind you that you’re not alone. We want to hear what you think. Leave us a voice message or written feedback at:https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a Mental Health Quote of the Episode "Sometimes the hardest conversations lead us to the deepest healing." — Unknown. What This Episode Is About Simon’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. For decades, he lived without memories, struggling with connection and learning. After his ADHD diagnosis in 2019, medication opened the door to memory, understanding, and an inner voice he calls “Mo.” Later, an autism diagnosis layered on even more complexity — and clarity. Through writing The 13 Hour Life Coach, podcasting on AUDHD Me & Mo, and experimenting with light language therapy, Simon has turned pain into purpose. We talk about ADHD strategies, the 13-hour “window of clarity” medication provides, the reality of memory loss, and his deeply vulnerable work helping non-speaking autistic kids begin to communicate. Simon reminds us that healing isn’t linear, that diagnosis doesn’t have to be a dead end, and that even the most brutal truths can become the foundation of purpose. Keywords: ADHD strategies, autism acceptance, late diagnosis, neurodivergence, light language therapy, parenting ADHD, podcast therapy, mental health storytelling Meet Our Guest – Simon Arnold Simon Arnold is the creator of The 13 Hour Life Coach and host of the podcast AUDHD Me & Mo. Diagnosed with ADHD in 2019 and autism in 2023, Simon transformed his struggles into resources for others: 155 ADHD success strategies, an award-winning podcast, and light language therapy sessions for non-speaking autistic kids. 👉 Connect with Simon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonarnold-audhd Simon isn’t just teaching strategies—he’s living them. From memory loss to healing breakthroughs, his story demonstrates that even in the most challenging chapters, resilience and creativity can pave the way forward. Key Takeaways How ADHD medication unlocked Simon’s ability to read, remember, and connect. He lives in a 13-hour “window of clarity” each day. How his podcast became therapy and community. The impact of an autism diagnosis later in life. Why does he use light language therapy to support non-speaking autistic kids? Why reframing ADHD and autism narratives is essential for healing. Actionable Items Journal or podcast your own journey to process emotions and track growth. Use checklists and routines to stay grounded and get tasks done. Revisit old notes, writings, or ideas—you may already have your own roadmap.

  • Storm Rises, Part 2: From Losing Everything to Taking Her Power Back
    In Part 2 of our two-part conversation with Storm, we continue uncovering the raw, unfiltered truths behind surviving medical trauma, chronic illness, and emotional isolation — and how one woman pulled herself out of the darkest corners of her life to reclaim her voice, her joy, and her power. Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is proud to be the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award Winner for Health and the 2024 Women In Podcasting Award Winner for Best Mental Health Podcast. With over 2 million downloads, we’re here to break stigma, amplify real stories, and remind you that you’re not alone. We want to hear what you think. Leave us a voice message or written feedback at:https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a Mental Health Quote of the Episode "It’s not weak to acknowledge your pain. It’s not weak to share it. And if you don't deal with your sh!t, it will deal with you." — Storm What This Episode Is About In this continuation of Storm’s journey, we dive into what happens after you’ve lost everything — your health, your child, your marriage, your career, and your voice — and how one woman chose to rise. Storm opens up about what it really takes to rebuild a life from rubble. We talk about Medicaid and medical poverty, managing invisible illnesses, grieving family loss, finding community after isolation, healing through music, and learning how to be your own damn hero. Storm doesn’t sugarcoat it: recovery isn’t linear, self-love isn’t easy, and waiting for someone else to save you might keep you stuck. This is a story about owning your truth, speaking it out loud, and refusing to go quietly. Keywords: mental health recovery, chronic illness survivor, toxic relationships, trauma healing, female empowerment, fluoroquinolone toxicity, self-worth, manifestation, emotional resilience Meet Our Guest – Storm Storm is a survivor, a storyteller, and a force of nature. After enduring a catastrophic reaction to a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm found herself bedridden, silenced by the medical system, and abandoned by the people who should have stood by her. Her journey took her through the darkest depths of chronic illness, emotional abuse, medical gaslighting, divorce, financial instability, and the heartbreaking estrangement from her only child. But she refused to stay down. Armed with resilience, radical self-talk, and a deep well of inner fire, Storm clawed her way back—physically, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. She transformed pain into purpose, reclaiming her identity as a writer, singer, and woman in full. Through music, manifestation, and unmatched grit, Storm built a new life brick by broken brick. Today, she uses her voice to speak out against medical injustice, normalize hard conversations about mental health, and remind others that it’s never too late to start over. She isn’t just weathering the storm. She is the storm. Key Takeaways Why Storm refused to stay down after losing her son, parents, and partner How grief, anger, and loss can fuel a comeback What “toxic positivity” is and why it’s harmful to healing The importance of building a support circle that truly sees you Why it’s okay not to be okay — and to say so out loud Storm’s thoughts on love, trust, and dating after narcissistic abuse Actionable Items Find your fire. Rediscover the thing that makes you feel alive — creativity, movement, music, anything. Start small. Tiny checkboxes, such as “take a shower” or “go outside,” can help rebuild a routine. Avoid toxic positivity. Surround yourself with people who let you speak your truth. Reclaim your voice. Whether through writing, music, or therapy, your story matters. Rethink your circle. Be around people who make space for your healing, not your silence. Prioritize self-care. It's not optional — it’s survival.

Everybody's fire is different—but when life burns you to the ground, that fire is how you rise." — Storm What This Episode Is About Storm's story is an intense mental health journey through hell — one filled with physical collapse, emotional devastation, and being completely alone while navigating one of the most misunderstood pharmaceutical injuries of our time. After being poisoned by a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm experienced 83 debilitating symptoms in just 36 hours, triggering a near-complete breakdown of her body and mind. Left to rot by a narcissistic partner, dismissed by doctors, and eventually served divorce papers while bedridden, Storm had every reason to give up. But she didn’t. This episode is an honest and emotional conversation about surviving when survival feels impossible, navigating the fallout of medical abuse, and the gritty, daily work of rebuilding your identity from the ground up. Keywords: fluoroquinolone toxicity, chronic illness, medical gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, divorce, isolation, mental health recovery, female empowerment, resilience, trauma survival Meet Our Guest – Storm Storm is a survivor, a storyteller, and a force of nature. After enduring a catastrophic reaction to a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm found herself bedridden, silenced by the medical system, and abandoned by the people who should have stood by her. Her journey took her through the darkest depths of chronic illness, emotional abuse, medical gaslighting, divorce, financial instability, and the heartbreaking estrangement from her only child. But she refused to stay down. Armed with resilience, radical self-talk, and a deep well of inner fire, Storm clawed her way back—physically, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. She transformed pain into purpose, reclaiming her identity as a writer, singer, and woman in full. Through music, manifestation, and unmatched grit, Storm built a new life brick by broken brick. Today, she uses her voice to speak out against medical injustice, normalize hard conversations about mental health, and remind others that it’s never too late to start over. She isn’t just weathering the storm. She is the storm. Key Takeaways How fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause long-term neurological and physiological damage Why narcissistic abuse and emotional abandonment amplify mental health struggles The role of manifestation, mindset, and micro-goals in recovery How to reclaim your identity after medical trauma and relationship loss Why medical gaslighting is a real and dangerous experience, especially for women Actionable Items Ask questions about your prescriptions — Know what drug class you're being given, especially if it's a fluoroquinolone. Track your symptoms — Even if doctors dismiss you, document everything. Join a support group — Seek out communities that understand what you're going through. Start a tiny goals journal — Storm began her comeback with daily goals like “stand for 10 minutes.” Focus on one fire — Whether it's music, art, writing, or walks, find what lights you up and lean into it.
