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.

This is a special episode where our hosts, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, sit down with the ever-inspiring Booky, who shares her incredible life story and imparts wisdom that only comes from facing life's toughest battles head-on. From living with a terminal illness to finding joy in the mundane, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions wrapped with laughter, insights, and unfiltered truths. **Key Lessons:** 1. **Live in the Moment:** Booky's philosophy of living life spontaneously, without excessive planning, is a testament to the importance of being present and enjoying life's journey, no matter where it leads you. 2. **Laughter Is Healing:** The power of laughter, especially self-deprecating humor, is a healing force that Booky, G-Rex, and the squad deeply believe in. Human connection and shared joy can be the best medicine. 3. **Wisdom With Age:** Reflections on youth and maturity remind us to learn from past experiences but not dwell on them. Booky's look back at her recklessness in youth sheds light on the value of growth and wisdom. 4. **Value Experiences Over Things:** Our conversations reveal how travel and experiences bring far more joy and fulfillment than material possessions ever could. Greece, Edinburgh, or just a simple reunion at the beach – it’s all about the memories. 5. **Openness and Planning:** Despite her diagnosis, Booky's approach to being open with her family and making necessary legal arrangements teaches us to confront difficult situations head-on and with clear, open communication. 6. **Pursue Joy and Avoid Procrastination:** Don't put off what can bring happiness to you and your loved ones. Time is precious, so make the most of it with those who matter. 7. **Support Systems are Crucial:** Whether it's dealing with recovery, fears, or the daunting task of making complex decisions, having a 'squad' or family, both blood and chosen, is invaluable. 8. **Dealing with Substance Use Sensibly:** Booky's decision to abstain from alcohol due to her health conditions highlights the importance of making wise choices for long-term well-being. 9. **Find Beauty in Scars:** From discussing nipple tattoos to embracing the stories our bodies tell, there is empowerment in choosing how to heal and adorn ourselves after life-changing events like breast surgery. **Wisdom Shared:** - "Worry more about the neighbors than the neighborhood." - "Don’t procrastinate the joy."

Co-parenting requires open communication and a unified response to digital-age challenges. 2. Nurturing your child includes preparing them for the reality of societal prejudices while instilling hope for the future. 3. Honesty is key in conversations with children about sensitive topics, from sexuality to race relations. 4.

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! #KitchenConfessions #GrexLaughs #DirtySkittlesTales #PezInOurHeads #CulinaryChaos #FriendshipFries #MentalHealthMatters #DishwashingDramas #FrontHouseFirstTimers #BakingScandals #ShitThatGoesOnInOurHeads S02E01 Part 1 - Kitchen Capers with Special Guest Pez ***************************************************************************If You Need Support, Reach OutIf you or someone you know is facing mental health challenges, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a crisis hotline in your area.
