“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you’re going.” – Noam Shpancer

🧠 What Went Down with G-Rex & Dirty Skittles

This episode isn’t just a recap—it’s a vibe 😎. G-Rex and Dirty Skittles kicked things off with their classic Zoom countdown chaos (complete with double middle fingers 🖕🖕), laughed at how their intro has become ritual therapy, and reflected on what Season 10 taught them personally and as podcast hosts.

Season 10 Life Lessons They Shared:

💬 Therapy is everywhere – Especially when you’re recording with your bestie.

💡 Mental health is a lifelong practice, and each guest brought a new tool for the toolbox.

🌱 Purpose after pain is powerful – G-Rex shared how her new podcast, The Survivors, was born out of deep personal experience with suicide and survival.

👯‍♀️ You don’t have to do this alone – From finding your people to leaning on your partner, Season 10 reminded us that community matters.

📈 Growth is scary but worth it. From quitting jobs to starting companies, the season mirrored their transformations.
