In this episode, I introduce you to Janice Talas-Denny.

Janice is a proud member of the Hopi tribe. She was raised on the Hopi reservation where she learned her traditional and cultural responsibilities. Understanding and speaking the Hopi language fluently has allowed Janice to have a deeper connection with her culture not only when she is participating in traditional ceremonies but in her daily life.

As the Tribal Veteran Support Coordinator at Televeda, Janice brings over 25 years of experience in clinical patient care, healthcare administration, and the behavioral health space. From her tenure at the Prescott VA to her work with Native and Indigenous communities at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center and the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, she has cultivated deep expertise in connecting Indigenous veterans and their families to vital healthcare and community resources.

Holding a Master’s degree in Healthcare Management, a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration, and a Peer & Recovery Support Specialist Certificate, Janice is dedicated to continuous learning and plays a pivotal role in leading, building, managing, advocating for, and expanding relationships with Indigenous communities across Arizona and surrounding states.

Outside of work, she enjoys creating beadwork, fishing, camping, traveling with her family, and reading

In this episode, I introduce you to Louise Sutherland-Hoyt.

Louise is a seasoned therapist, Vietnam veteran, elder-in-training, fire-walker, peak-bagger, and devoted mother, grandmother, wife, and partner.

Grounded in decades of clinical work and inspired by the ancient philosophy of the Stoics, Louise lives and teaches this truth: We may not control what has happened, but we are responsible for how we meet it. Her work—through therapy, writing, and community—helps others respond to life’s deepest wounds with integrity, tenderness, and courage.

Louise speaks especially to the quiet suffering many women carry, born from a contagion of inauthenticity, a state that continues to plague generations of women, urging them to abandon their inner truth in order to feel connected Rather than rushing to fix, she invites reverence—to abide with pain, listen deeply, and keep company with what cannot be undone.

Today she speaks about:

The Concept of Healing and Soul Tending (5:01)

Over Serving and Inauthenticity (7:20)
