Empowering Mental Wellness | Breaking Silence | Embracing Self-Care
Welcome to and thats oook, the podcast where we break the silence around stress, mental health, health, and the everyday struggle to prioritize self-care. Through honest conversations, practical strategies, insights, and shared experiences, we’re building a supportive community committed to healing and growth. Our episodes include stories, shared experiences, and support to help you navigate life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or simply ready to care for yourself more deeply, this is your space. You’re not alone.
Over time, and thats oook has grown into something deeper. We’ve evolved, finding clarity in our mission and courage in our voice. That evolution is now reflected in how we structure the show.
Here’s how to navigate our episodes:
🌟 What Do “SJE” and “J” Mean?
As you listen, you might notice episodes labeled SJE and J — here’s what they mean:
🔹 SJE = Season Journey Episode
These are part of the main season. They explore powerful themes like health, healing, and growth through deep conversations, reflections, and lessons that guide us forward.
🔹 J = Journey Episode
These are special episodes—real stories from real people. In these episodes, someone opens up and shares their personal journey with us. They’re honest, human, and full of heart.
You’ll see them labeled like this: J1: [Person’s Name].
🎧 These Journey episodes give us a chance to learn through someone else’s experience—and they remind us how connected we really are.
💛 Together, both types of episodes create something beautiful:
A season that teaches, a story that heals, and a path where your voice, your health, and your story truly matter.
🎧 What’s a Bonus Episode?
Hey there! Sometimes, we like to share extra-special episodes called Bonus Episodes. These aren’t part of our current season—they’re special stories and moments pulled from our andthatsoook archives.
Think of them like treasures from the past—a peek into the early days when this podcast was just getting started. You’ll hear real voices, powerful stories, and the building blocks of what makes this podcast what it is today.
They’re fun, thoughtful, and full of heart.
We’re bringing them back so new listeners (like you!) can enjoy the journey too.
🌀 Past meets present. Bonus episodes = extra gems.
Tap in and let’s go back to where it all began.
Listening to these is like opening a time capsule—imperfect, powerful, and still unfolding.
Whether you’re new here or have been with us since the beginning, thank you for being part of this journey. There’s a place for you here.
Special thank you to the content creator's music used in the intro and outro of andthatsook.

J1 – Lena’s Journey: Living with Chronic Pain and the Search for Answers
At just 13 years old, Lena’s life took an unexpected turn. What began as migraine-like pain soon became a daily struggle that disrupted her teenage years and left her and her family searching tirelessly for answers.
In this first episode of and thats oook journeys, Lena, now in her 20s, shares the story of her ongoing battle with chronic pain, the long road to a suspected mitochondrial disorder diagnosis, and the impact it had on her physical and emotional well-being.
Through her honesty and resilience, Lena offers a powerful reminder of what it means to live with an invisible illness and how tools, support, and self-awareness can change the way we cope.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in your health journey, or know someone who has, this conversation is a must-listen.
This episode is part of our Journeys series—personal, story-driven episodes that highlight real people sharing their lived experiences in connection to our season theme, Women’s Health in Focus. You’ll see these episodes marked as J1, J2, and beyond as we explore the real, raw stories behind the headlines.
🎧 This is Lena, and this is her journey.
