Meet your Crazy Bitch hosts Amy and Kendra! A quick introduction to the podcast, the basic who, what, where and why. Find out what you can look forward to this season and the philosophy behind the name. Similar to speed dating or a job interview we're trying to make a lasting impression in a short period of time so sit back and listen as we woo you with just how qualified we are to host this podcast about women's mental health issues. 

Our guest this week is Emily who bravely gives listeners a raw and honest look at how she navigates each day living with an eating disorder as well as rare insight into the complex nature of this disease she has been battling for over half of her lifetime. 

Our guest this week is Tamara who discusses the effects a parent's mental health condition can have on their children as they grow up, her experiences with the healthcare system advocating for better care for her mother, and the emotions that accompany situations where it can seem like you are fighting everyone and everything to help a person who doesn't want to help themselves. 

Our guest this week is Aly who discusses her diagnosis of PTSD and panic disorder after a sudden unexpected tragic event changed the course of her life as a young wife and mother forever. She describes her journey from darkness back to what she describes as contentment but not quite yet happiness, with honesty, humor and fearlessness. 

Co-founder and co-host of the Crazy Bitches podcast Kendra shares her experience with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) and her experience with relapse and changing views and opinions of addiction. The hosts and guest host Alisha discuss the general nature of addiction and treatment of AUD and compare Alcoholics Anonymous and 12-step based treatment with non-abstinence based treatment models. 

Our guest this week is Sarah, a social worker in the field of mental health and addiction. I guarantee you won't be able to hold back the laughter as she shares her story of OCD, phobia and anxiety and be inspired by how she has used her afflictions as valuable tools of growth, and connections in her job. We discuss the the fear of judgement from colleagues that we carry as mental health workers who also struggle with mental health conditions despite telling our patients they shouldn't bear any shame, and we imagine a world where our experiences would be seen as the assets that they are instead of liabilities.

Our guest and good friend Skye shares her journey into the world of online sex work  and how the stigma of the profession has affected her mental health. She discusses how she has moved from a place of shame and self-doubt to a place of acceptance but also how sometimes the choices we make aren't black or white and there needs to be space for continued self-appraisal.
