  • B-Cide: Turning MS and Mental Health Struggles into Music Therapy

    B-Cide: Turning MS and Mental Health Struggles into Music Therapy
    Oct 23 2025
    Today on Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads, we’re talking with the powerhouse that is B-Cide — rapper, producer, and Author of Myelin My Shoes. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2011, B-Cide went from rocking stages to fighting for his health and sanity. But instead of giving up, he turned his pain into power — using music as therapy and mental resilience as his foundation. Recently featured in over 170 media outlets, including Yahoo Finance and Digital Journal, B-Cide’s story isn’t just about illness — it’s about survival, creativity, and grit. From managing a record deal to building his streetwear brand, 55 Strong, he proves that no diagnosis can silence your drive. We also talk about the brutal mental toll of losing independence, the power of creative outlets, and how choosing optimism can literally save your life. “You don’t get to choose what knocks you down, but you do get to choose how loud you get back up.” — Unknown. Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is proud to be the 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award (Best Health) and 2024 Women in Podcasting Award (Best Mental Health Podcast) winner — with over 2 million downloads and counting. Got thoughts on this episode? We wanna hear ‘em — written or voice feedback welcome at:https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a Episode Description In this episode, Robert “B-Cide” Cardillo II takes listeners on a brutally honest ride through the highs and lows of his life. Known across the underground hip-hop scene for his raw lyrics and fearless storytelling, B-Cide built his career on perseverance and passion — long before his diagnosis ever entered the picture. He toured the country, produced tracks with major underground acts, and earned a reputation for being unapologetically authentic. Then, in 2011, everything changed. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, B-Cide suddenly faced a world of hospitals, medication, and losing control of his own body. What followed wasn’t just a health battle — it was a mental one. He speaks candidly about depression, identity loss, and how music became his escape and lifeline. This episode dives deep into how B-Cide rebuilt his world piece by piece: transforming his pain into poetry, launching his 55 Strong clothing brand, and writing his memoir Myelin My Shoes — a raw and powerful look at life, illness, and reinvention. G-Rex and Dirty Skittles guide the conversation into what resilience really looks like when life takes away what you love most. It’s not just a story about surviving MS. It’s a story about refusing to be silenced, about finding new purpose, and about using creativity to fight back when your body, your mind, and the world say you can’t. Meet Our Guest — Robert “B-Cide” Cardillo II Featured on 170+ news outlets, including Yahoo Finance, Digital Journal, and Benzinga. Rapper, producer, and author of Myelin My Shoes — a raw, unfiltered memoir about life with MS, mental health battles, and a 25-year underground music grind. After his MS diagnosis, B-Cide turned his creativity toward resilience — building 55 Strong, a clothing brand and record label that embodies his “never quit” mindset. His story isn’t just about surviving a diagnosis; it’s about redefining what’s possible when life hits hard.

  • From Pain to Purpose: How Dyan Finds Joy Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

    From Pain to Purpose: How Dyan Finds Joy Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis
    Oct 16 2025
    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! We want to hear from YOU! Leave your written or voice feedback here: https://castfeedback.com/67521f0bde0b101c7b10442a Mental Health Quote: “Even when life hurts like hell, there’s still room for laughter, light, and love.” — G-Rex Episode Description 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 Meet Our Guest — Dyan 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. Key Takeaways Chronic illness doesn’t define your worth — your attitude does.Meditation and breathing can ground you even on the hardest days.Joy is an inside job; stop waiting for perfect circumstances.Acceptance beats resistance — what you fight owns you.A good laugh and a good hug can change everything. Actionable Items Try box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4) next time anxiety hits.Practice gratitude grounding — step outside barefoot and say one thing you’re thankful for.Start a 5-minute meditation routine, even if it’s messy.
