About Our Podcast
Welcome to "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads," a podcast where we turn the chaos in our minds into heartfelt conversations about mental health. Hosted by G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, our show is a safe space for laughter, support, and honest discussions about the ups and downs of mental well-being.
Our journey began when G-Rex experienced a profound mental breakdown on Christmas Day 2022. With the support of 988, her wife, and a higher power, she found healing in sharing her story and embracing the power of therapy and laughter. Today, with over 400,000 downloads and listeners in more than 60 countries, we aim to break the stigma around mental health, showing that it's okay not to be okay, but it's crucial to talk about it.
Every week, we share personal stories, coping strategies, and conversations with guests who are open about their own mental health journeys. Whether it's G-Rex discussing her battles with depression or Dirty Skittles discussing the importance of therapy, we are here to provide a platform for open, honest dialogue.
Why should you listen to us? Because we get it. We know what it's like to struggle and understand the power of community and shared experiences. Life can be challenging; sometimes, the best way to heal is through connection and laughter.
'Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads' is more than just a podcast. It's a community, a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. We're not just about jokes and anecdotes; we're about fostering a sense of belonging. We aim to provide resources, insights, and a supportive environment to everyone who tunes in.
Join us every week as we navigate the complexities of mental health together. We're here to remind you that you're not alone and that seeking help is okay. Listen to "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads" and be part of our journey toward mental wellness, one episode at a time.

LCSW
I have recently discovered this podcast. It addresses some very challenging topics with grace and humor and the two hosts are very approachable and charming. There is a wide range of topics and all of them are of interest to me - professionally and personally. Check it out - you'll be glad you did
Important topics

The banter between these friends is SO engaging (remind me of me and my bestie) and the topics are raw and emotionally validating. Love this.
Repartee + positivity = fun show

Lots of banter and couldn't tell what was going on until about halfway through. But I appreciate the dry sense of humor, personal vulnerability, and care behind each epis...
