Descripción

In this episode, we explore a creative and compassionate expansion of mental health care through the lens of death doula work with Darcy Meehan—Coach and Director of Outreach for Hirschman Clinical Services. Darcy shares how integrating end-of-life support into therapeutic spaces offers a powerful opportunity for clinicians to meet clients at some of life's most tender and transformative thresholds. Darcy offers a unique blend of traditional approached with modern strategies to meet people where they are. With a customized blend of practical planning with emotional and spiritual care, she helps individuals and families navigate not only the realities of death, but the quiet anxieties that often surround it. This conversation invites mental health professionals to consider how gently introducing structure, language, and presence around the unknown can shift clients from avoidance into empowerment. We dive into the value in holding space for conversations about mortality in a way that feels grounding rather than overwhelming. These discussions don't just prepare people for the end of life, but profoundly impact how they live right now—enhancing clarity, connection, and intention. Whether working with aging parents, supporting families with complex dependencies, or guiding clients through existential anxiety, this episode offers a refreshing and deeply human approach to care. We also share about expanded services within HCS and our vision for supporting clients and their families now and long term. In This Episode, We Explore: * Why conversations about death belong in mental health spaces * The value of intentional planning now for what comes later * How death doula work complements and expands traditional clinical care * The role of structure and guidance in reducing anxiety around the unknown and the future * Moving clients from avoidance or overwhelm to empowered and organized * Supporting families navigating aging, caregiving and legacy * How engaging with mortality can deepen presence and purpose in everyday life Connect with us here: www.hirschmanclinicalservices.com [http://www.hirschmanclinicalservices.com]

Episode Fifty Two: Defining Sound & Healing with Chris Krupar

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Krupar, a lifelong singer-songwriter, performer, and sound healing practitioner whose relationship with music has evolved from performance into deeply intentional healing work. Chris shares the story of his musical journey beginning in the 1980s, when he joined his guitar teacher in a faith-based ministry band performing in prisons, detention centers, and spaces where people were searching for hope, connection, and care. Over the decades, his path would take him from intimate local venues to large-scale performances, including opening for national recording artists. Yet no matter the stage, one thing remained consistent: music had the power to shift people emotionally, spiritually, and physically. After experiencing profound personal loss, including the passing of his son, Chris found himself returning to the deeper spiritual dimensions of sound. That turning point led him toward retreat work, sound healing certification, and eventually the founding of Live Love Evolve, where he and his soulmate now support others through immersive sound experiences, healing practices, and transformational retreats. This conversation is an invitation to think differently about healing, to reflect on the frequencies we surround ourselves with, and to reconnect with the possibility that sound can help us remember who we are beneath stress, grief, and disconnection. Whether you are navigating loss, exploring holistic wellness, or simply curious about the transformative power of music and vibration, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounding conversation on healing in its fullest sense. Chris currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he facilitates retreats and healing experiences, while also traveling to share his beautiful sound healing work with communities and individuals across the country.

Episode Forty Nine: Creative Healing Through Mindfulness with Amy Zoe Schonhoff

Amy Zoe Schonhoff is a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher, speaker, and founder of Mindfulness in the Heartland. She works with individuals, communities, and workplaces to cultivate embodied wisdom through secular, trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices. With more than 30 years of contemplative practice and a life shaped by early adversity, Amy brings both professional depth and grounded humanity to her work. Rooted in a distinctly Midwestern sensibility—practical, relational, and down-to-earth—she invites a deeper connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the living world, honoring both life's challenges and its ongoing cycles of renewal. In this conversation, we explore what mindfulness really looks like in everyday life—moving beyond concept and into lived experience. We reflect on how the way we relate to ourselves creates a ripple effect, touching our families, our communities, and the wider world. Mindfulness becomes more than something we practice; it becomes a way of being that supports healing on every level. As Amy shares, a personal practice travels with us—steady, accessible, and deeply our own—offering a path back to presence, compassion, and resilience amid daily life.

Episode Forty Eight: Healing Through Boxing with Josh Fingerhut

This podcast features a conversation with therapist, breathwork practitioner, and boxing coach Josh Fingerhut, whose approach to healing goes far beyond the traditional therapy office. After a near-death experience changed the course of his life, Josh began to rethink what healing really looks like. His work now combines therapy, boxing, breathwork, movement, and nervous system regulation to help people reconnect with themselves — not just through talking, but through action and experience. In this interview, we explore why movement can be such a powerful tool for healing trauma, anxiety, burnout, and emotional pain. We talk about the connection between the body and the mind, the role of anger and emotional release, and why creative approaches like boxing and breathwork, can help people break through when traditional therapy alone isn't enough. Sometimes healing doesn't happen on a couch, it starts with putting on a pair of gloves. Connect with Josh here: https://www.joshfingerhuttherapy.com/blog [https://www.joshfingerhuttherapy.com/blog]
