Episode notes

Well... we're back.

If you've been wondering where we've been, this episode explains everything.

What was supposed to be a short break turned into a medical emergency when Kellie landed in surgery with a bowel obstruction. One emergency procedure later (plus saying goodbye to 31 inches of extra skin in a panniculectomy), life hit the pause button in a big way.

In this episode, we're talking about the terrifying moments, the unexpected wins, recovery, body image, gratitude, and the dark humor that somehow kept us laughing through it all. We also share why the podcast went quiet for a bit and what this experience taught us about slowing down, accepting help, and appreciating every single day.

This one is raw, emotional, occasionally unhinged, and unmistakably Side Quest.

Because sometimes survival becomes the biggest side quest of all.

⚡ Come laugh with us, cry with us, and celebrate the fact that...

Kellie's alive.
