    S2E10: Downward Dog, Duct Tape & the Divine—Healing Where it Hurts with Jennifer Zenner Clark

    What do yoga, under-earning, duct tape, and divine surrender have in common? In this unforgettable episode, we sit down with trauma survivor, yoga instructor, and recovery mentor Jennifer Zenner Clark, who shares her incredible journey from childhood abuse and addiction to healing, self-trust, and service. Jennifer opens up about growing up in a home filled with violence, neglect, and silence — including a stepfather who told her she’d never be anything. But she became everything she needed: a sober woman of 14+ years, a safe space for others, and a powerful voice in trauma recovery. We dive into: The relationship between trauma and dissociation — and how yoga brings you backHow under-earning and self-sabotage are often rooted in deep shameWhy your inner child needs more than a lollipop (but hey, that helps)What happens when your nervous system is so shut down, you can’t even be startledThe pain of estrangement, the grief of Mother’s Day, and the surprising freedom of stillness It’s raw. It’s hilarious. It’s holy. And yes, we talk about bananas, inner family photo galleries, and the healing magic of paisley brain swirls. If you’ve ever felt like healing is impossible — or wondered why rest feels unsafe — this episode will meet you where you are and gently hold the mirror up to your magic.

    S2E9: Lead With Empathy—Feeling Deeply in a Numb World with Gianna Anzideo

    What happens when your greatest strength—empathy—feels like it might break you? In this powerful and surprisingly funny episode, Amy and Theresa sit down with Gianna Anzideo, founder of Lead With Empathy, to explore the raw, beautiful mess of feeling everything a little too much. Together, they unpack the difference between empathy, sympathy, and codependency; why setting boundaries is not just healthy—but essential; and how narcissistic dynamics can wear down even the most resilient hearts. Gianna shares her own journey with trauma, chronic illness, OCD, and escaping toxic workplaces, reminding us that protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s survival. We also dive into the magic of “glimmers”—those tiny flashes of joy that help rewire our nervous systems and remind us we’re still here, still healing, and still capable of joy. This one is for the feelers, the over-thinkers, the recovering people-pleasers, and anyone who’s ever been told they’re “too sensitive.” Spoiler: you’re not. 💚 Warning: may inspire spontaneous boundary-setting and emotional validation.

    What if everything you feared actually happened… and it turned out to be the best damn thing for your soul? In this jaw-droppingly real and hysterically human episode, we sit down with the brilliantly unfiltered Anna Przy — the internet’s favorite permission slip for rest, rage, and radical self-love. From losing everything during the pandemic to finding herself in a pair of red tights on Instagram, Anna shares the actual story behind her viral content, body image battles, and how she stopped living for the approval of everyone but herself. We talk burnout, depression masked as risk-taking, fake diplomas, family trauma, Thanksgiving avoidance strategies, and how doing the “easy thing” might be the bravest move of all. It’s raw, riotous, and ridiculously relatable. ⚠️ Warning: This episode might make you cry, laugh-snort, and completely rethink your life choices.

    S2E4: Sit. Stay. Heal.

    What if your therapist had four legs and fur? In this episode of Healarious, we unleash a powerful (and unexpectedly hilarious) conversation with psychologist Dr. Angela Ceisel, a leader in canine-assisted therapy. From training dogs to detect trauma cues to burnout in therapy pups, Angela dives deep into the science, spirit, and soul of working alongside our furry co-healers. Co-host Amy Redbird shares a tear-jerking story about how her dog Buddy helped her son finally open up after years of emotional shutdown, and how her own benzodiazepine withdrawal and trauma crash in 2019 shaped her healing. Theresa Benson gets real about missing the signs her dog Abby was sending about a toxic relationship—and how hindsight is a furry, peeing oracle. If you’ve ever felt like your dog “just knows,” or wondered what makes a therapy animal legit (and what doesn’t), this one’s for you. 🐶 Raw, real, funny, and full of heart—this is animal-assisted therapy like you’ve never heard it before.
