Season Finale does not skimp on the laughter. It's sad to say goodbye to something so good but also heartfelt and filled with so much love.

Samantha and Melissa celebrate the 90th episode of Skirts Up, marking the end of their “nine season,” inspired by Dr. Sue McCready’s numerology theme of creativity, expansion, and nonjudgmental teaching. Also taking note that the season unexpectedly lasted six months due to prerecording and a unplanned show shift.

Melissa shares she’s stepping back to focus inward and on her shop, while Samantha teases Season 5 is already underway and may feature her solo, rotating past guests as co-hosts, or a new permanent co-host.

They reflect on key lessons—“we listen, we do not judge,” curiosity, personal growth, and building a safe, loving community—while discussing frustrations, friendships, gossip, grief (Ada and Waverly), and even never before heard experiences with animal communicators and “ghost” energy.

It end with gratitude, hints of Melissa popping back in, and invite audience requests.

Samantha and Melissa open their second-to-last episode reflecting on the sadness of ending the podcast, noting behind-the-scenes pressure, shifting plans for the brand, and Melissa feeling spread too thin after a major expo didn’t go as hoped.

They pivot to April awareness for functional neurological disorders (FND) and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, discussing how patients—even children—can be diagnosed yet dismissed by providers, left without care, and facing alarming suicide risk.

Samantha explains her view of FND as a protective “safety loop,” why “trauma” is controversial and subjective, and how Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) uses a hypnosis-like relaxed state to access the subconscious, uncover formative scenes, and reprogram habits via a 21-day recording protocol.

They share bits about the RTT session Melissa had which focused on childhood guilt.

In the end Samantha hits how impactful RTT is for those diagnosed with FND and refers to the success one client recently experienced. There's mention of research and outreach that is in progress with a ring of neuroscientists. and last but not least, Samantha announces a free Zoom FND support event on April 8 at 2:00pm EST.
