| 4/24/26 | Ep 126: "Just Move Differently" Is the Physical Therapy Version of "Just Think Positively" with Dr. Megan Steele | If you've ever been handed a generic exercise plan for pain that's been with you for years — or felt like your provider was treating the injury you had once, not the body you're living in now — this episode gets into why that approach keeps falling short. Chronic pain isn't an acute problem with a delayed solution, and the science is finally catching up to what so many patients already knew.In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Megan Steele, PT, DPT, PhD, physical therapist, faculty in the DPT program at Mount St. Mary's University, and PhD candidate researching how our visceral and musculoskeletal systems shape pain. Her reframe that "just believe differently" is the mental health equivalent of "just move differently" is one that will stick with you long after this episode ends.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 4/16/26 | Ep 125: When Your Illness Has a History: Medical Gaslighting, Invisible Illness, and Why You're Not Imagining It with Emily Mendenhall PhD | If you've ever been dismissed by a doctor, told your symptoms were stress or anxiety, or felt like the medical system wasn't built for people like you — this episode traces exactly how we got here. The history of "hysteria" didn't end; it evolved, and understanding that history might be one of the most validating things you do for yourself today.In this episode, you'll hear from Emily Mendenhall, medical anthropologist, Guggenheim Fellow, and author of Invisible Illness: A History from Hysteria to Long COVID. Her concept of structural silencing reframes medical dismissal not as individual doctors failing patients, but as a system operating exactly as it was designed.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 4/10/26 | Ep 124: When Your Nervous System Shows the Problem and Has Part of the Solution: MCAS & Mast Cell Disorders with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse | When your symptoms shift daily and no one, not even your doctor, can give you clear answers, the hypervigilance can feel like the only rational response. But what if that constant scanning is actually making your nervous system harder to calm, and there's a way to work with it instead of against it?In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and trauma related to food allergies and mast cell conditions. She reframes nervous system regulation not as a reset button, but as a slow, trust-building process, and explains why that distinction matters more than most people realize.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 4/3/26 | Ep 123: If Eating Is So Good for You, Why Does It Feel So Bad with Tiffany Pecoraro RD | If you have an eating disorder and a chronic illness, recovery might not look like what gets celebrated online, and that disconnect can leave you feeling like you're doing it wrong. The missing piece isn't more willpower; it’s a provider who actually understands how these two things interact.In this episode, you'll hear from Tiffany Pecoraro, MS, RD, LD, EDOC, Registered Dietitian and founder of Freedom With Nutrition, who specializes in eating disorder recovery alongside co-occurring chronic conditions.

| 2/23/26 | Ep 118: Navigating Relationships When Chronic Illness Changes Everything with Lisa Gray LMFT | In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Lisa Gray shares practical strategies for maintaining healthy relationships when chronic illness enters the picture—whether you're navigating high-conflict dynamics or learning to communicate through the unique challenges of chronic pain and fatigue.Lisa reminds us that healthy conflict isn't just about reducing fights—it's also about being brave enough to have the hard conversations chronic illness demands. Her work focuses on teaching couples to stay connected, communicate with empathy, and renegotiate their relationship over and over as illness evolves—because this is chronic, and the adjustments never really end.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 2/16/26 | Ep 117: Wellness When You're Chronically Ill Isn't What You Think It Is with Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, LPC | In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, PhD, LPC, a licensed professional counselor in New Orleans, Louisiana. In her private practice, she specializes in medical trauma and provides wellness trainings for professionals and healthcare organizations. She also serves on the Pregnancy Associated Mortality Review Board with the Louisiana Department of Health to advance equitable medical care across the state.Victoria reminds us that wellness isn’t about being cured or perfectly “healthy”—it’s about intentionally designing your environment and practice so you can show up fully. She challenges the idea that rest must be earned through productivity, arguing instead that comfort is a basic human right. For chronically ill therapists doing complex work, that message is both grounding and revolutionary.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 2/6/26 | Ep 114: When Money Stress Meets Chronic Illness: What Financial Therapy Actually Is with Megan Stevenson LCSW, CFSW | In this episode, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker Megan Stevenson shares practical insights on navigating the financial and emotional complexities of chronic illness. Through her private practice, Curiosity Counseling and Consulting, Megan helps individuals and caregivers manage the unique intersection of money stress, healthcare costs, and the emotional weight of living with conditions like chronic kidney disease and rheumatoid arthritis.Megan reminds us that money is a skill that takes time to develop, and that financial stress during chronic illness is a predictable response to a system that was never designed to support patient wellbeing. Her work emphasizes the importance of addressing both the practical financial literacy side and the deeper emotional and trauma work that shapes our relationship with money.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 1/31/26 | Ep 113: For those who don’t know what to say right now | In this episode, I reflect on the emotional and nervous system impacts of current socio-political events. I discuss the progression of my own relationship with news and politics, emphasizing the importance of staying informed while managing emotional and sensory overload. I encourage you to find and consume more neutral news sources, build capacity for conflict, and observe effective communication styles in order to find your voice. I highlight the significance of grounding ourselves in the midst of conflict and recognizing personal limits, aiming to provide guidance for those feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about how to respond to ongoing societal issues.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 1/30/26 | Ep 112: Learning to Partner With Your Body (Instead of Fighting It) with Jason Therrien DPT | In this episode, physical therapist and health coach Jason Therrien shares his compassionate approach to helping people rebuild trust with their bodies after chronic pain has damaged that relationship.Jason reminds us that most people with chronic pain aren't afraid to move; they've spent years pushing through pain and have incredibly high pain tolerances. The real fear is often about what might happen if they stop pushing, which keeps them trapped in cycles of boom and bust. His work focuses on helping people develop a more collaborative, compassionate relationship with their bodies that honors both rest and growth.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 12/13/25 | EP 110: The Free Resource That's Helping People With Lung Disease Feel Less Alone with Tiffany Quicke | Tiffany Quicke is a Respiratory Therapist and Certified Asthma Educator and works as a Lung Health Navigator for the American Lung Association. She has over 20 years of experience working in Pulmonary Rehab and has been with the American Lung Association for 2 years. Her primary role includes being the lead Lung Health Navigator on both the COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis education programs.Tiffany reminds us that in a healthcare system where doctors don't have time to explain how to use an inhaler or discuss what to expect at the end of life, organizations like the American Lung Association fill an essential gap. Her work isn't just about education—it's about being a consistent human presence for people who often talk to no one and go nowhere, reminding them they're not alone in navigating their diagnosis.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

After leaving the commercial healthcare model to open her own practice, Dr. Pepper now spends an hour with patients instead of 10 minutes, giving her time to actually listen and put together the puzzle pieces that other doctors miss.She explains why validation is often the most therapeutic thing she offers, how she navigates the gray space of diseases without reliable testing, and why some of her most dramatic patient improvements come from looking at blood vessel compression rather than just prescribing more salt and water.

| 11/14/25 | Ep 107: Finding Safety Despite Medical Trauma with Sarah Stasica LMSW | In this episode, Sarah Stasica, LMSW and founder of the membership community Medical Trauma Support, joins me to talk about the realities of healing from medical trauma and why going slowly might be the best thing you can do for your nervous system. We explore why people isolate during medical crises, the overlap between complex trauma and medical trauma, how our nervous system responses show up in our bodies, and why befriending your body isn't about positive thinking but about building the capacity to trust yourself again.

| 11/7/25 | Ep 106: Finding Joy While Chronically Ill w/ Dr. Brentia Caldwell-Smith Ph.D., LPC, NCC, ACS, CPCS | In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brentia Caldwell-Smith, founder of the UP Center and a licensed professional counselor who specializes in chronic illness navigation. We discuss disenfranchised grief—the kind of loss that comes with chronic illness that people don't always recognize or validate—and explore how cultural expectations around strength, religion, and perseverance can complicate the healing process. Dr. Brentia shares her personal experience living with lupus and interstitial lung disease, and we talk about the importance of building community, finding joy in the midst of uncertainty, and making your life work for you even when it looks different than you expected.Connect with Destiny: Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________🤝 RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER______________________________🩺 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS💬 Clinical Consultation→ Regulated Therapist, Attuned Client: Movement Practices for Clinical Excellence: A 4-week live virtual program for mental health therapists who want to incorporate movement into their work life to be more present and sustainable in their practice.

| 10/31/25 | Ep 105: When Your Labs Are Normal But Your Body Isn't: Understanding Invisible Illness with Dr. Kara Wada | In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kara Wada, a board-certified allergist and immunologist who also lives with Sjögren's disease and dysautonomia. We talk about what happens when your labs come back "normal" but your body is anything but, why 30-40% of people with Sjögren's have normal blood work, and how to navigate the gap between a medical system that dismisses you and wellness influencers who promise quick fixes. Dr. Kara shares her own story of going down the supplement rabbit hole, the three questions to ask when vetting providers, and why hypervigilance—both mental and physical—keeps so many people stuck in chronic illness. We also dig into the 80/20 rule for symptom management, the concept of de-prescribing, and why partnership beats certainty every single time.

| 10/31/25 | Ep 104: The Emotional Burden of Chronic Illness w/ Kate Zera Kray LCSW | In this episode, clinical social worker and psychotherapist Kate Zera Kray joins Destiny to explore Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and its powerful application for those living with chronic illness. Kate breaks down the three types of "parts" we all have – managers (our organized protectors), firefighters (our emergency responders), and exiles (the vulnerable parts holding our pain) – and explains how chronic illness can send these internal systems into overdrive. Through personal stories about Lyme disease, diabetes management, and the challenge of de-identifying from illness, they discuss how understanding our protective parts can lead to more self-compassion during the medical journey.

| 10/19/25 | Ep 103: Your Pain Is FaceTiming, It Wants To Tell You Something w/ Kelly Clark DPT | In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kelly Clark, a physical therapist and owner of Patient PT in Bloomington, Indiana, to challenge the popular narrative that chronic pain is a "false alarm." Kelly shares her personal journey with chronic pain and explains why pain is actually valuable biological data that deserves our attention, not dismissal. We explore the crucial difference between "good pain" and "bad pain" in therapeutic exercise, why the relational aspect of healing matters so much for chronic pain recovery, and how learning to listen to smaller pain signals can prevent your nervous system from turning up the volume.

| 10/7/25 | Ep 102: Burnout Is Predictable - But Prevention Requires More Than Willpower w/ Kamilah Jones, PharmD, LPC, CRC | In this episode, Destiny sits down with Kamilah Jones, PharmD, LPC, CRC, to explore the crucial difference between stress and burnout, particularly for healthcare professionals. Kamilah shares her personal journey from pharmacist to therapist, including her own experience with burnout while building her private practice - and why knowing what to do wasn't enough to prevent it. They talk about why healthcare workers are uniquely vulnerable to burnout due to competitive training, emotional labor, and systemic constraints, and discuss the uncomfortable truth that resources (financial, social, and professional support) often matter more than resilience when it comes to recovery.
