Today on Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down with the unstoppable force that is Dyan — an artist, meditator, and self-proclaimed “witchy free spirit” who’s been living with rheumatoid arthritis for fifty years and still finds ways to laugh through it all.

Dyan’s story is one of strength, humor, and pure heart. She talks about growing up wild in the ’60s, getting hit by a bus as a kid (yep, literally), and finding peace through meditation and tai chi. Diagnosed in her twenties, Dyan refused to let pain define her life — instead, she built a toolbox of mindfulness, creativity, and compassion that’s kept her grounded through every twist.

She shares how to live with acceptance instead of resistance, why laughter is medicine, and how joy always starts within. This conversation is a masterclass in resilience, wrapped in warmth and wit.

Proud winner of the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award (Best Health) and the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award (Best Mental Health Podcast), with over 2 million downloads!

Mental Health Quote: “Even when life hurts like hell, there’s still room for laughter, light, and love.” — G-Rex

Dyan’s voice radiates calm, compassion, and just the right amount of sass. She opens up about growing up during the wild ‘60s, where “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” shaped her fearless outlook on life. But when rheumatoid arthritis hit in her early twenties, everything changed — her body, her plans, and her perspective.

Instead of giving up, Dyan leaned into life itself. She found meditation, tai chi, and yoga long before they were trending hashtags. She talks about learning to listen to her body, to stop people-pleasing, and to embrace the messy, magical reality of aging with humor and grace.

What’s so powerful about Dyan’s story isn’t just her survival — it’s her mindset. She still creates art, leads chair yoga at her local library, and shares hugs like they’re oxygen. G-Rex and Dirty Skittles dive into how she handles chronic pain, anxiety, and those “can’t-get-out-of-bed” days with self-compassion and laughter.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt broken, stuck, or worn down by life. Dyan reminds us that healing isn’t about going back — it’s about finding peace right where you are.

SEO Keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, chronic illness, chronic pain, mindfulness, meditation, mental health awareness, resilience, positive mindset, women’s health, healing journey, self-care, mental wellness, acceptance, finding joy, chronic illness stories

Dyan is a lifelong seeker, artist, and advocate for self-healing. Born in New York City, she spent her early years exploring everything life threw at her — from hitchhiking across the country to diving deep into meditation and tai chi. Living with rheumatoid arthritis for five decades, Dyan has become a model of perseverance and joy, teaching chair yoga at her local library, creating vibrant watercolor art, and spreading love wherever she goes.

Why She Matters:
Because she’s living proof that pain doesn’t get to call the shots. Dyan shows us how to live fully — body, mind, and soul — with humor, wisdom, and zero apologies.

00:01:00 – Meet Dyan: From New York City to upstate New York — and a wild ‘60s upbringing.
00:10:00 – Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis: How Dyan found strength through meditation and movement.
00:17:00 – Coping and Perseverance: Learning to be her own advocate and embrace alternative healing.
00:25:00 – Finding Joy in the Everyday: Gratitude, hugs, and saying “f*ck it” to what you can’t control.

Welcome to Season 14 of Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads—and we’re opening with a powerhouse: Mayim Bialik. You know her from Blossom, The Big Bang Theory, and Jeopardy!, but in this conversation, she steps off the stage lights and speaks from the heart.

This podcast is proud to be a 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award winner (Best Health) and the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award winner (Best Mental Health Podcast). With over 2 million downloads, we’re building a global community where mental health conversations are real, raw, and stigma-free.

💬 Got thoughts on this episode? Please leave us a written or voice review: https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a

Quote of the Episode:

In this powerful Season 14 opener, Mayim Bialik gets real about what it was like growing up on Blossom, navigating the pressures of fame, and surviving the harsh criticism that came with life in the spotlight. She opens up about the insecurities behind her confident on-screen characters, the mental health struggles she faced as a teen actor, and the ongoing journey of therapy and self-discovery. We dive into conversations around anxiety, depression, and the stigma of speaking openly about mental illness—especially in families where silence was the norm.

Mayim also shares why she started her own podcast, Bialik’s Breakdown, and how her PhD in neuroscience inspired her mission to make mental health conversations more accessible. We explore topics like codependency, addiction, spirituality, and the small joys that keep her grounded (spoiler: cats, cooking, and stickers make the list). From advice for teenagers who feel out of place to the importance of borrowing someone else’s faith in you when your own runs out, this episode is full of wisdom, humor, and raw humanity.

It’s not just a celebrity interview—it’s a masterclass in being human, messy and all.

In 2021, Bialik wrote and directed the feature film As They Made Us, starring Dustin Hoffman, Candice Bergen, Dianna Agron, and Simon Helberg. She hosts the popular mental health podcast Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, which has garnered over 60 million downloads.

Bialik holds a BS and PhD in Neuroscience from UCLA, and she has authored four books, two of which are New York Times Bestsellers: "Girling Up: How to Be Strong, Smart, and Spectacular" and "Boying Up: How to Be Brave, Bold, and Brilliant."

This isn’t your average episode — it’s our Season 13 Ender, baby! 🎉 G-Rex and Dirty Skittles kick back and unpack the wild, emotional, and downright inspiring ride this season has been. We revisit each guest, starting with Susan’s gut-wrenching yet powerful three-parter on grief, rolling into Jennifer’s brilliant Moody Monster, Kim’s wisdom on food and emotions, Dr. Paul’s refreshing “whole human” approach to medicine, Laurie’s badass resilience after loss and betrayal, Simon’s late ADHD/autism diagnosis and advocacy work, and Dr. Nina breaking down what our food cravings really mean.

In this episode, Simon takes us inside his raw and remarkable journey of living with ADHD and autism — from 42 years of silence and memory loss, to discovering his inner voice “Mo,” to building strategies that help him and others thrive. We explore the impact of late diagnosis, the challenges of medication, the healing power of podcasting, and the unexpected ways light language is giving non-speaking autistic kids a voice.

Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is proud to be the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award Winner for Health and the 2024 Women In Podcasting Award Winner for Best Mental Health Podcast.

"Sometimes the hardest conversations lead us to the deepest healing." — Unknown.

Simon’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. For decades, he lived without memories, struggling with connection and learning. After his ADHD diagnosis in 2019, medication opened the door to memory, understanding, and an inner voice he calls “Mo.” Later, an autism diagnosis layered on even more complexity — and clarity.

Through writing The 13 Hour Life Coach, podcasting on AUDHD Me & Mo, and experimenting with light language therapy, Simon has turned pain into purpose. We talk about ADHD strategies, the 13-hour “window of clarity” medication provides, the reality of memory loss, and his deeply vulnerable work helping non-speaking autistic kids begin to communicate.

Simon reminds us that healing isn’t linear, that diagnosis doesn’t have to be a dead end, and that even the most brutal truths can become the foundation of purpose.

Keywords: ADHD strategies, autism acceptance, late diagnosis, neurodivergence, light language therapy, parenting ADHD, podcast therapy, mental health storytelling

Simon Arnold is the creator of The 13 Hour Life Coach and host of the podcast AUDHD Me & Mo. Diagnosed with ADHD in 2019 and autism in 2023, Simon transformed his struggles into resources for others: 155 ADHD success strategies, an award-winning podcast, and light language therapy sessions for non-speaking autistic kids.

In Part 2 of our two-part conversation with Storm, we continue uncovering the raw, unfiltered truths behind surviving medical trauma, chronic illness, and emotional isolation — and how one woman pulled herself out of the darkest corners of her life to reclaim her voice, her joy, and her power.

"It’s not weak to acknowledge your pain. It’s not weak to share it. And if you don't deal with your sh!t, it will deal with you." — Storm

In this continuation of Storm’s journey, we dive into what happens after you’ve lost everything — your health, your child, your marriage, your career, and your voice — and how one woman chose to rise.

Storm opens up about what it really takes to rebuild a life from rubble. We talk about Medicaid and medical poverty, managing invisible illnesses, grieving family loss, finding community after isolation, healing through music, and learning how to be your own damn hero.

Storm doesn’t sugarcoat it: recovery isn’t linear, self-love isn’t easy, and waiting for someone else to save you might keep you stuck. This is a story about owning your truth, speaking it out loud, and refusing to go quietly.

Keywords: mental health recovery, chronic illness survivor, toxic relationships, trauma healing, female empowerment, fluoroquinolone toxicity, self-worth, manifestation, emotional resilience

Storm is a survivor, a storyteller, and a force of nature. After enduring a catastrophic reaction to a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm found herself bedridden, silenced by the medical system, and abandoned by the people who should have stood by her. Her journey took her through the darkest depths of chronic illness, emotional abuse, medical gaslighting, divorce, financial instability, and the heartbreaking estrangement from her only child.

But she refused to stay down.

Armed with resilience, radical self-talk, and a deep well of inner fire, Storm clawed her way back—physically, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. She transformed pain into purpose, reclaiming her identity as a writer, singer, and woman in full. Through music, manifestation, and unmatched grit, Storm built a new life brick by broken brick.

Today, she uses her voice to speak out against medical injustice, normalize hard conversations about mental health, and remind others that it’s never too late to start over.

She isn’t just weathering the storm. She is the storm.

00:00 – Opening: Medicaid, finances, and the fallout
03:00 – Breaking bones and breaking cycles
07:00 – Losing her son: “What’s the point anymore?”
10:00 – Music therapy, friendships, and laughter return
14:00 – Losing both parents, and her father's reaction to Cipro

"Find your fire. Everybody's fire is different—but when life burns you to the ground, that fire is how you rise." — Storm

Storm's story is an intense mental health journey through hell — one filled with physical collapse, emotional devastation, and being completely alone while navigating one of the most misunderstood pharmaceutical injuries of our time.

After being poisoned by a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm experienced 83 debilitating symptoms in just 36 hours, triggering a near-complete breakdown of her body and mind. Left to rot by a narcissistic partner, dismissed by doctors, and eventually served divorce papers while bedridden, Storm had every reason to give up. But she didn’t.

This episode is an honest and emotional conversation about surviving when survival feels impossible, navigating the fallout of medical abuse, and the gritty, daily work of rebuilding your identity from the ground up.

Keywords: fluoroquinolone toxicity, chronic illness, medical gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, divorce, isolation, mental health recovery, female empowerment, resilience, trauma survival

Storm is a survivor, a storyteller, and a force of nature. After enduring a catastrophic reaction to a commonly prescribed antibiotic, Storm found herself bedridden, silenced by the medical system, and abandoned by the people who should have stood by her. Her journey took her through the darkest depths of chronic illness, emotional abuse, medical gaslighting, divorce, financial instability, and the heartbreaking estrangement from her only child.

But she refused to stay down.

Armed with resilience, radical self-talk, and a deep well of inner fire, Storm clawed her way back—physically, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. She transformed pain into purpose, reclaiming her identity as a writer, singer, and woman in full. Through music, manifestation, and unmatched grit, Storm built a new life brick by broken brick.

Today, she uses her voice to speak out against medical injustice, normalize hard conversations about mental health, and remind others that it’s never too late to start over.

She isn’t just weathering the storm. She is the storm.
