About Our Podcast 

Welcome to Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads, the award-winning mental health podcast that proves healing can happen in the middle of chaos, community, and a whole lot of laughter. Hosted by G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, our show is a safe place to land, breathe, and remember you’re not navigating your mind alone.

This whole thing started after G-Rex’s mental health crisis on Christmas Day 2022, a moment that changed everything. With the support of her wife, the 988 Lifeline, and a higher power she still argues with daily, she found her voice by telling the truth, even when it was messy. What began as two best friends recording honest conversations turned into a global movement.

Today, with over 3.5 million downloads and listeners in more than 100 countries, we’re committed to breaking the stigma around mental health, one raw, hilarious, heartfelt episode at a time.

Every week, we crack open the real stuff, the intrusive thoughts, the breakthroughs in therapy, the grief, the joy, the bullshit, and the beauty of being human. You’ll hear personal stories from both of us, along with guests who show up bravely to share their own journeys with depression, anxiety, trauma, healing, and growth.

Why listen? Because we live this. We’ve sat in the dark. We know how heavy life can get. And we also know the magic that happens when people stop pretending and start talking. Our community is built on honesty, compassion, and the kind of laughter that sometimes makes you snort.

Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads isn’t just a podcast, it’s family.
It’s a reminder that you matter, your story matters, and healing doesn’t have to be quiet or perfect. Here, you get to show up exactly as you are.

So pull up a seat and join us every week as we unpack the wild, wonderful, heartbreaking, hopeful realities of mental health. We’ll laugh, cry, cuss, reflect, and most of all, remind you of this simple truth:

You are not alone, not now, not ever.

Welcome to the conversation. Let’s keep going, together.

Love this show!

THIS is the podcast the world needs right now: hilarious, heart-warming, and honest - I'm all about it! As a therapist, mental health advocate and writer, I'd say these are the kind of conversations that can make our world-on-fire a more habitable, kinder, more loving, and certainly funnier, place!

Could be good

Honestly, there’s too many silent pauses and the Host don’t seem to connect. One woman forever cuts everyone off and doesn’t let others finish their sentence before speaking. I think what they talk about is great and real life scenarios to help individuals who feel alone, not feel alone. This is hard stuff and not ever...
