What happens when you’ve had two open-heart surgeries before the age of 40, and you’re still fighting the healthcare system—every single day? In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Jacob Kendall, healthcare advocate and metagerontologist, to talk about what it means to advocate like hell—for yourself, your loved ones, and the millions of people navigating chronic illness and a broken healthcare system. ______________________ We explore: - Jacob’s personal experience of having multiple heart surgeries and becoming a caregiver- How his life led him to multi-dimensional healthcare advocacy- The harms and complexity of the U.S. healthcare and insurance system- The internal debate among mental health professionals about whether to accept insurance- The debate between private and socialized medicine- The importance of honest conversations with providers and why doctors don’t always have all the answers- Why Jacob believes self-advocacy, assertiveness, and agency are the most essential tools we have Jacob speaks with radical clarity and lived experience about the intentional confusion of insurance, the need to normalize chronic disease, and how healing isn’t just medical—it’s emotional, systemic, and deeply personal. ________________________ About Dr. Jacob Kendall Dr. Jacob Kendall advocates like hell for people living with chronic illness, pain, and disability.

Longing and heartache—two deeply human experiences that touch us all. In this conversation with Susan Poznyansky, LICSW (they/them), founder of Heart of Caldera (HOC), we explore the tender terrain of what it means to long, ache, and hold space for the parts of us that carry these emotions. Susan and I share a love for lakes—their stillness, their depth—and reflect on the parts of us that feel more cautious around the vastness of the ocean. From this imagery, we dive into the three major themes of longing and heartache: 🌿 Longing for connection – the deep yearning to be seen and held.🌿 Longing for choices not made – the what-ifs, the parallel paths that remain unexplored.🌿 Grief for what we have had but no longer hold – the ache of change, transition, and loss. Throughout our conversation, we bring an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens to longing and heartache, exploring:🌀 The parts of us connected to longing—how they show up and what they need.🌀 Polarizations within our system—how internal conflicts influence the way we experience longing and heartache.🌀 Ways to be with longing rather than trying to fix, numb, or push it away. This episode is an invitation to sit with your longing, honor your heartache, and listen to the wisdom within both. Whether you resonate with deep-seated yearning, nostalgia, or grief, you are not alone in these experiences. ___________________________ About Susan Susan Poznyansky is a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Heart of Caldera (HOC), a social enterprise dedicated to holding space for individuals as they cultivate self-compassion and personal courage on their journey to living fully and authentically. Through HOC, Susan co-guides with people on their unique paths to wholeness in this precious life experience. Identifying as non-binary, queer, neurodivergent (ADHD), and a person living with a chronic illness, Susan brings a deeply personal and compassionate approach to their work.
