Ever had a nightmare that left you in a cold sweat, or heard your child screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night from a night terror? Miranda unpacks nightmares and night terrors, so you can sleep more soundly. But then, things take a strange turn when Mel discusses the jaw-dropping realities of organ transplants – from the miraculous to the disastrous. And just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder, Mel shares about her recent trip to Hawkins Indiana– which is actually in Georgia! So bring your coffee (or maybe something a little stronger), put your feet up (if you can find the time), and join the Gal Pals on a trip to the Upside Down on this nightmarish episode!!
