   The Dog Who Taught Tanya to Overcome Fear

   In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Tanya Allen of Scoop Savvy to share the story of Dillon, her beloved "Super Mutt," and the lessons his incredible resilience has taught her. Two years ago, Dillon was diagnosed with ITP. Since then, he has faced an ongoing battle that included two frightening relapses where Tanya nearly lost him. But through it all, Dillon kept fighting. Watching his strength and resilience changed the way Tanya looked at challenges in her own life. Dillon showed her that she could do things she once thought she couldn't, push beyond fear, and believe more deeply in herself. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and her four-legged co-host, Nigel, we explore Dillon's journey, the strength Tanya found through him, and how the animals we love can sometimes teach us just how strong we are, too.

   How Cashew Inspired Sarah to Change Her Life

   In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Sarah Shechtman to share how a Shih Tzu Poodle named Cashew helped her see a new path for her life. Sarah welcomed Cashew in 2021 during a difficult time when she was questioning what her next chapter would look like. She was deep into a career in performing and higher education admissions that was burning her out. From the moment Cashew was placed in her arms, something began to shift. Over the years, Sarah realized that what she had been searching for was right in front of her. Just shy of 40, she made a complete career change and began her journey into veterinary medicine as a vet tech. Sarah's story brings together performing, career change, personal growth, and the realization that it is never too late to follow a different path. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and her four-legged co-host, Nigel, we explore how Cashew gave Sarah the inspiration to believe in what could come next and helped lead her toward a truer version of herself.

   From Ella to Lola: How Therapy Dogs Inspired Autism Barks

   In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with AJ Cullen, founder of Autism Barks, to explore how her personal connection to the autism community and her love of dogs came together to inspire a meaningful purpose. AJ has been involved in the autism community since 2006. In 2008, she began working with her late therapy dog, Cinderella "Ella," who was also AJ's emotional support animal. Together, they volunteered in group homes, skilled nursing facilities, and special education classrooms, providing comfort, companionship, and connection. When Ella unexpectedly passed away in 2018, her impact didn't end there. AJ carried her legacy forward through her children's book, Ella: A Dog with a Job, and eventually welcomed Lola, a Black Lab, into her life. Following in Ella's pawprints, Lola continues the work of bringing joy and comfort to others and reinforcing the powerful connection between people and animals. In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and her four-legged co-host, Nigel, we explore Ella's lasting legacy, Lola's role today, and how the animals who touch our lives can inspire work that continues far beyond them.
