Today’s episode of The OCD Confessional is just us.

No guest. No expert. Just Alicia and Liam getting real about our own OCD journeys — the worst intrusive thoughts we’ve had, Liam’s ongoing struggle with health OCD, how this podcast has changed us, and the feedback from listeners that’s meant the most.

We talk about:
• The most ridiculous (and terrifying) OCD thoughts we’ve experienced
• How health anxiety can hijack logic
• Where we are now in our recovery journeys
• The best messages we’ve received from listeners
• What doing this podcast together has taught us
• And yes… coffee or tea, beach or mountains, sweats or jeans

It’s honest. It’s vulnerable. And it’s very funny — because humor has been one of our most powerful tools in navigating OCD.

If you’ve ever wondered who we are outside of expert interviews and research deep dives, this is the episode for you.
