Erin and Joanna laugh... and then laugh some more. Sure, we get into some thick, dark waters but even in those, we laugh. We reminisce on our friendship experiences, talk about losing loved ones, divorce, addiction, prison, surrogacy, and an epic adventure to Baltimore City that culminated in some regrettable tattoos. In this episode we laugh while talking about addiction... that isn't to say we are mocking our addicts, but just the ridiculous ride they seem to take us on.  Our way of coping is to make a joke of it and it's kept us alive this long. It doesn't mean we don't love our addicts or have empathy for their journey, it just means we have endured enough with them that we feel a joke is warranted. Erin is a dear friend of mine and I'm very excited to share her with you all. Enjoy!!

Natalie and Joanna discuss how they're 20+ year friendship started out a little rough, they're fun times working together in their 20's,  dating/marrying/ divorcing an addict, motherhood, work life, the horrors of dating, how Natalie came to find the love of her life  and then she makes a special announcement about prostitution and blowsies. Just kidding, Nat!! Join us, buckle up and enjoy the ride with my dear friend, Natalie. Welcome to You're In Deep! 

Joanna and Justin play a spirited game of "Skin Deep" and then dive off into politics, aliens, some more childhood stories, wiping your loved ones ass, Joanna's dislike for non-furry-predatory animals formerly known as dinosaurs, Justin's taste for meat, Justin's disdain for taxes finally rubbing off;) on Joanna to finally culminate with them both agreeing life's hard and it's nice to have a reliable mofo standing next to you...but not before being interrupted by kiddos. Welcome to our life! 

Joanna & Ronnie talk about childhood trauma, how it effects us all differently and how Ronnie chose to deal with it.  We discuss loss, children, parenthood and Ronnie's wild ride he calls growing up but Joanna feels like it sounds more like a fever dream.  We talk about pushing through our suffering to get to a better place so that we can be better for our people in our lives.  We talk about all the people, the village of people, who helped him while he was growing up to become an adult who has broken the cycle of abuse and strives to do good shit out in this world of ours, despite it all. Welcome, Ronnie, once again to You're in Deep. 

Joanna & Mary laugh their tits off talking all things parental sex(you read that right), motherhood, an exercise addiction, marriage, being whatever the opposite of a perfectionist is, open and honest parenting, mental illness, being unapologetically inappropriate, why the hell isn't everyone in therapy, talking to strangers while traveling, falling asleep faster than most humans and finding men who are the yang to our yin.  All of those things and more but not in a boring, linear progression; rather, it's a wild, exciting ride so keep up and listen to learn that there's something about Mary! 

The Gonzo and Joanna talk about kickin' your own ass every day. The most requested guest thus far is joining us by phone to talk about everything from running without shoes to running everyday for years and where it all began. They discussed Ronnie's Treasure hunt he started this summer to help excite people to get out and see this beautiful country. They talked ice diving, rock climbing and injuries sustained along the way.  Oh and did you know this wild one is involved in True Crime?  There are many layers to this guy and we've unearthed a few. We'll need to meet again to dig deeper still so this won't be the last of Ronnie on You're In Deep. If you're not motivated to move your body in some way after listening, listen twice. Enjoy!

Of COURSE Joanna dated  a guy who would later go on to plot to have his wife murdered...twice! Hear about her experience and how it taught her to not get D.E.N.N.I.S'd. 

Allie and Joanna talk about all things motherhood, Allie's life growing up as a twin, her life as a marathon/ultra runner, her college years, losing her mama, meeting her love and starting their family... and the penis rock. Not only do we share a talent for attracting "nature's cocks" but we found the SAME penis rock a week apart!! That's goin' on my resumé! Enjoy my sweet friend!

Travis and Joanna talk about all things wrestling, Travis' MMA career, college, his father's death, marriage, fatherhood, divorce, being a single dad and how to talk to bitches. ;) The universe pitted us against each other (not really, I'm being dramatic) but after meeting him and talking to him for almost 2 hours, I've decided to like him and I'm sure you will too. 

Joanna and Brandon talk about almost everything!! Hobbies that hurt, hobbies that don't, anxiety, childhood trauma, adult trauma, parenting, is this life real or are we in a simulation, ghosts and wheezing yetis. Buckle up for this wild ride and enjoy this DEEP dive!
