Welcome to another compelling episode of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads"! Join G-Rex, Dirty Skittles, and our emotionally candid guest Bridget, where we peel back the layers of life with Parkinson's and the unexpected turns that come with a diagnosis.

🍲 Bridget spices up the convo with her thick soup TikTok tale, while Dirty Skittles logs into the allure of lumberjacks on the app (nope, not Tic Tacs, G-Rex! 😂).

🍝 Dive into nostalgia with "naked spaghetti" and the simple joy of butter and Parmesan – comfort food for the soul.

🌱 Bridget opens up about her Parkinson's diagnosis – a poignant narrative of grief, anger, and resilience.

👵 From the 55+ community to life's unscripted moments, Bridget gets real about retirement plans now framed with uncertainty.

💧 G-Rex floats a buoy of support with waterproof earbud tips for Bridget's aquatic therapy, while Dirty Skittles navigates the 5 stages of grief.

💡 Lessons Learned:

- Embrace the power of community and support in times of upheaval.

- Stay proactive with self-care, even when routine changes challenge you.

- Recognize the stages of grief and give yourself grace through each one.

🔑 Key Insights:
