Our very own Shit Talker, Jordy Lambropoulos (@jordydarian), better known as ItsJordysWorld on TikTok has lived quite the life in her short 25 years thus far, that some may never experience in their entire lifetime!

In Part One, Jordy shared what life was like as a child with no concept of 'normal', in a world that was upside-down from day dot.

In May 2023, Jordy became Australia's first Crohn's Disease Stem-Cell Transplant recipient, and in this episode we take a deep dive into her last-resort experience living with a treatment-refractory illness. Jordy talks all things stem-cell transplant, moving to Sydney for lifesaving treatment, and saying goodbye to her family in a close call with death (which a huge side of comedic relief, because it wouldn't be a story told by Jordy without morbid giggle).

As discussed in this episode, Jordy was her own donor and recipient however, many stem-cell transplant recipients require a donor and spend copious amounts of time on a waitlist. Many people are unaware that registering for the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry is as simple as having a cheek swab delivered in the mail. We touch on this during the episode, but we urge you to register (if you are able to, and are willing to), as your donation might just save a life! Donation is almost as straight-forward as giving blood!

Enroll in the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry HERE.

A foundation that also generously assisted Jordy during her transplant was the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation.

Our very own Shit Talker, Jordy Lambropoulos (@jordydarian), better known as ItsJordysWorld on TikTok has lived quite the life in her short 25 years thus far, that some may never experience in their entire lifetime!

'Normal' is something Jordy has never been able to comprehend. How can you possibly grieve something you've never had in the first place?  Jordy shares her experience living with treatment-refractory Crohn's Disease throughout early childhood and into her teenage years. Including her battle with mental illness & eating disorders - secondary to her ongoing health battle.

You may know Jordy from glimpses on social media where she shared raw updates during her Stem Cell Transplant in May 2023, or through her ongoing jokes about "sh*tting into a bag", but in this episode we dive deep into Jordy's childhood - and what life was like being born into a world that was already upside-down from day dot.

Today’s guest is the incredibly direct, comical and vulnerable Mark Orval (@angrydad), otherwise known as the famous Angry Dad. 

We were lucky enough to dig a little deeper and have Mark open up about his darkest days, while also keeping the conversation light and choosing favourites - all parents have one. 

We hope this conversation encourages you to trust your gut, advocate for your health & never take the mundane for granted.

Part 2 | Life with a terminal diagnosis

This episode Kell discusses the signs and symptoms that led to her devastating diagnosis, and over 2 years on, how she copes with the challenges of motherhood and day to day life with a terminal illness. We discuss what the future holds for Kell, and the living legacy she selflessly strives to create so that others do not have to experience the devastation of Bowel Cancer.

Kellie Finlayson (@kelliefinlayson_) - otherwise known as "Jeremy Finlayson's terminally ill wife", one of our very own Shit Talkers and so much more is an ordinary woman fighting an extraordinary battle. You may know a bit about Kell's story from snippets in the media but you're about to know a whole lot more!

Diagnosed with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer at age 25, just 3 months into her motherhood journey, Kell is so much more than her diagnosis.

Kell, Jords & Soph dive into their very first Good, Bad and Offensive for the week.
Girl-Code fails, breaking into Kellie Finlayson's house, double-booking to the nines - this week we spill the tea...or the shit, rather.

Would you share your perfume with a stranger? (The correct answer is yes...)

Can you tell a lot about a person from just their coffee order? We think so, what are your thoughts?

PS sincere apologies for the audio quality, we don’t suck at this, our producer just sucks at making sure her own mic isn’t muted! But we really wanted to get this first ep out before the New Year, so had to sacrifice a little audio quality!
