*******************************************************************************************************************

Welcome back to another rib-tickling season of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads"! Gear up as your audacious hosts, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, kick off Season 2 with a hearty serving of kitchen chaos, featuring the delightful and spirited Pez.

**What's Cooking in This Episode:**

Laugh till your stomach hurts with G-Rex as he tries (and fails!) to keep his composure while Pez spills the beans on her zany kitchen escapades.

Dirty Skittles will take you on a nostalgic trip from the doughy counters of Dunkin' Donuts to the prestigious halls of Johnson & Wales University.

Learn why Pez opted out of a culinary education and how Dirty Skittles baked her way into the cover of a PBS cookbook.

Dive into the saucy tales of hotel kitchen drama and why a pantry isn’t just for stocking ingredients (wink, wink).

Discover the power of friendship in the wildest of work environments as our hosts and Pez reminisce about their pal, Bizzle.

Pez peels back the curtain on the hard-knock life in the kitchen, from wing nights to dish-slinging, and how it shaped her approach to food service.

Our hosts champion the importance of mental health, especially in high-pressure work environments, proving that it's okay to seek help when you need it.

Pez shares her journey from teenage money-maker to confronting the overwhelming world of commercial dishwashing as a single mom stepping back into the workforce.

**Lessons Served Hot:**

1. Your path may change direction, and that's perfectly fine. You have to find where your passion truly lies, just like Pez did.

2. The kitchen is more than a place of work—it's a crucible for character, skill, and sometimes, unexpected friendships and wild stories.

3. Support systems are crucial, whether in or out of the kitchen. Our mental health can often benefit from a little TLC and open conversations.

4. Life may sometimes throw you into the deep end (or the dish pit!), but being a positive force can change not only your perspective but also your customers' experiences.

5. A job is not just what you do; it's how you rise to the occasion. Pez's willingness to tackle the front house with minimal experience speaks volumes of her grit.

Remember to tune in for more amusing banter and life lessons from the kitchen as Pez, G-Rex, and Dirty Skittles cook up a storm. All this and more in the next part of this two-part series—stay tuned, stay hungry for adventure, and always keep talking about the sh!t that goes on in our heads!

*******************************************************************************************************************

In this pivotal episode of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads," we dive deep with our guest Eva Strangelace, whose life exemplifies the courage to stand firm in one's identity despite external pressures and legislative challenges. Growing up with an emotionally distant father and without guidance on handling anger and frustration, Ripley's journey towards self-acceptance has been fraught with ups and downs. Today we explore the crucial role of therapy in embracing vulnerability, the powerful impact of music as a medium for self-expression, and the brave decision to remain a beacon of support in a challenging environment.

Firstly, Eva shares with G-Rex and Dirty Skittles the intricate dynamics of growing up in a divorced family and the long road to understanding and managing their emotions. The absence of a role model for self-management led to a transformative realization—the indispensable need for therapy, where learning about vulnerability and authenticity became GAME-CHANGING elements of Ripley’s life.

Navigating through a world where laws continually crossed personal boundaries, we discuss the conflict of fleeing versus fighting for change. Eva, originally planning an exit, chose to stay anchored in Orlando, providing a support system for the queer punk community that once uplifted them. The complexity of gender binaries, societal expectations, and the importance of representation and presence for those in need is a theme woven throughout our conversation.

Music has been a significant force for Ripley; from finding solace in the goth community to fronting bands that echoed their raw, unfiltered emotions, Ripley shows us that music can indeed be therapeutic. But beyond the harmonies, the episode delves into broader life choices, such as the influence of self-awareness on parenting, and the importance of safe spaces in an increasingly polarized society.

Join us as Eva recounts personal decisions shaped by culture, identity, and a relentless pursuit of self-truth. At our core, this episode is about resilience, truth, and the assertive declaration to live authentically, even when the world seems to push back.

Parenthood: it's a wild ride of sleepless nights, missed milestones, joyous moments, and some serious self-discovery. In this episode of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads," our hosts, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, are joined by guest Bizzle to candidly unpack the complex journey of parenthood.

### What's In This Episode

**Travel vs. Fatherhood**: Bizzle opens up about the struggle of balancing his work travel schedule with being a present father, and how the pandemic brought an unexpected opportunity to spend more time at home.

**The Joys of Parenthood**: Despite the challenges, there’s an undeniable joy in watching your child grow, imitate you (sometimes in hilarious ways), and develop their own interests, like music or attending LEGO conventions.

**Getting Real About Parenting Challenges**: From coping with sleep deprivation to dealing with societal pressures on breastfeeding, Dirty Skittles and Bizzle get real about the struggles of parenting.

**Parenthood & Relationships**: Our hosts and guest share how having a child impacted their relationships, bringing them closer as a family unit despite the inevitable frayed nerves and snappy moments.

**A Safe Space for Parenting Struggles**: Listen as we create a safe space to talk about the less-discussed difficulties of parenthood, and the decisions around having children.

### Lessons Learned

**Embrace Remote Work Benefits**: The recent shift to remote work can be a silver lining for parents wanting to participate more in their children's lives.

**Support Is Key**: Never shy away from asking for support when you're feeling overwhelmed. Parenting is a team sport, whether it's with your partner or your community.

**Every Parenting Journey Is Unique**: There's no one right way to parent. Whether you breastfeed or bottle-feed, or choose to have kids biologically, adopt, or even not have children at all, your decision is valid and should be respected.

**Relationships Can Grow**: Having a child can be a transformative experience for your relationship, fostering growth and a stronger bond.

**Self-Care Isn't Selfish**: Taking care of yourself and managing your own stress and health is as crucial as taking care of your child's needs.
