It’s our 100th episode, y’all.

This episode is laughter, reflection, growth, healing, honesty, and a whole lot of sister energy. We brought back our original co-host Maria Shelton to celebrate where we started and how far we’ve come.

From sneaking out stories and getting arrested (yes, we went there) to healing after divorce, falling in love again, body image conversations, Ozempic honesty, business dreams, and control issues… nothing was off limits.

When we started this podcast, we were in the middle of separation, divorce, heartbreak, and rebuilding. And now?

One is engaged and in her soft girl era.

This is what Got HER Back has always been about.

You’ve got her back. And we’ve got yours. Always.

Cue the rewind sound because this episode takes us straight into the vault of unfiltered memories, irrational fears, intrusive thoughts, and one very real phobia that lives rent-free in Megan’s brain.

This episode is raw, ridiculous, and relatable in a way only Got HER Back can deliver because sometimes healing looks like laughing until you cry and sometimes it looks like saying no to white stuff forever.

You’ve got her back. And we’ve got yours.
