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.

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.

⚠️ Trigger Notice: This episode touches on grief, trauma, and eating disorders. 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

1. Sharing your story isn’t just healing for you — it opens doors for others.
2. Emotions and food are deeply connected than we realize.
3. Doctors like Dr. Paul demonstrated that compassion in medicine is still alive.
4. Resilience comes from choosing yourself, even when life kicks you down.
5. ADHD and autism diagnoses in adulthood can bring relief, clarity, and purpose.
6. Grief, anxiety, and trauma don’t define you — they can fuel growth.
