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 back * How under-earning and self-sabotage are often rooted in deep shame * Why 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 startled * The 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.
