We made it — Season 14 is officially in the books! In this special season-ender, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down to reflect on the incredible humans who opened their hearts, shared their truths, and reminded us that healing is anything but linear. This season was all about joy, boundaries, and the beautifully messy middle — the place where real growth happens. Together we laughed, cried, fangirled, and found purpose in the hard sh!t life throws our way. And that’s what makes Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads: real talk, real stories, no shame, no judgment.

“Healing isn’t a straight line — sometimes the messiest moments are where you rediscover yourself.”
Episode Description
This isn’t your average episode — it’s our Season 14 Ender, and damn, what a season it was. G-Rex and Dirty Skittles kick back to reflect on the stories, breakthroughs, laughter, chaos, and deeply human moments that made this year unforgettable.
From the absolute holy sht* excitement of interviewing Mayim Bialik, to Joe’s powerful return-to-his-roots story of helping kids through trauma… from Diane’s fearless humor and resilience while navigating chronic pain, to B-Side’s raw honesty about MS, identity, and finding your worth… every guest brought something real, tender, and necessary. We revisit Tabitha’s bravery as a listener-turned-guest sharing her healing journey, Jewel’s heartwarming conversation about friendship and belonging (yes, the one that made G-Rex cry), Brenda’s blend of spooky-season fun and anxiety awareness, Melissa’s courage during her “ER wakeup calls,” Arlene’s reminder to chase joy over titles, Heather’s laughter-packed conversation about womanhood and menopause, Dr. Pete’s sports-psychology wisdom, and Angie’s story of shame, survival, and rebuilding from the inside out.
Season 14 was a beautiful mix of grit and grace — a reminder that healing isn’t linear, that boundaries matter, that joy is essential, and that connection keeps us going. Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or you joined us this year, this season finale is your invitation to honor your own messy middle.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
