*********************************************************************************
Welcome back to **Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads**—the no-holds-barred podcast where we unravel the complexities of the human psyche! This time on **Mental Health 101: Importance of Exercise and Mental Health with Guest Speaker Crazy 8** with your hosts G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, we invite a special guest, soon-to-be-retired mental health therapist, Crazy 8, to share his lifetime of insights.
Let's dive deep into the mind and tease out some invaluable takeaways:
**Lessons Learned:**
1. **Empathy is Key:** Crazy 8 tells us about his 28 years in the mental health trenches, emphasizing how empathy grew not only from clinical practice but from the very real stories of his patients. It's a cornerstone for understanding others and ourselves.
2. **The Empath's Burden:** G-Rex exposes the realities of being an empath and the critical need for self-care to shield oneself from being overwhelmed by others' emotions.
3. **Self-Care is Non-Negotiable:** Both G-Rex and Crazy 8 echo the sentiment that taking care of oneself is paramount to providing help to others, and to prevent causing harm—both physically and mentally.
4. **Stuck in the Mind? Not Anymore:** Dirty Skittles probes strategies to escape negative thought spirals, leading to a consensus on the importance of living in the present rather than being haunted by the past.
5. **Nature as a Balm:** With Crazy 8's military discipline and G-Rex's move upstate, we learn how connecting with the outdoors can bring a sense of peace and perspective.
6. **Body Movement for Mind Strength:** All three agree that a rigorous gym routine is akin to a cleanse for the mind. Dirty Skittles shares a powerful story of physical and mental exhaustion that many can relate to.
7. **Nutrition Meets Convenience:** Finding healthy food options shouldn't be a brainbuster. The hosts discuss their positive experiences with Factor meal deliveries. Get your own brain food delivered to your doorstep! (Don't forget our discount code!)
8. **Zen Out for Inner Peace:** Crazy 8 extols the virtues of Zen meditation for those inner moments of self-reflection and exploration.
9. **Guard Your Heart and Mind:** Compassion fatigue is real, folks. Mental health professionals are not immune, and recognizing the signs can protect your inner sanctuary.
10. **Trauma's Toll and Triumph:** Personal anecdotes bring to light how trauma shapes us, with Crazy 8 guiding us to tread the fine line between empathy and absorption of others' troubles.
11. **Emotional Intelligence Wins:** Understand your emotions, separate fact from opinion, and choose how you react—Crazy 8's mantra for a healthier mental state.
12. **Perfectly Imperfect:** Loosen up! Life's about the journey, not the perfection. Make room for error, joy, and self-compassion.
13. **Retirement Real Talk:** What comes after the finish line? The hosts and Crazy 8 confront the emotional landscape of retirement, finding community through shared experiences.
Join us as we peel away the layers of our thoughts and feelings in this powerful episode with Crazy 8. Remember folks, life's too short to sweat the small stuff—embrace imperfection and let's continue to break mental health stigmas, one episode at a time!
**Listen, learn, and let's all laugh—and maybe cry—a bit together. 💭✨🎧**

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.
