Healthy AF

Healthy AF is real talk for real women who want to feel good again—inside and out. Hosted by Amy Chang—nurse, mom, health coach, and fellow human with a Master’s in Nursing and advanced training as a Nurse Practitioner—this podcast is where honesty, humor, and heart meet real conversations about what it actually takes to feel healthy and whole. Because getting healthy (and staying that way) isn’t about perfection—it’s about choosing yourself, one loving decision at a time. Each week, Amy helps you quiet the noise, drop the guilt, and reconnect with your healthiest self through stories, insights, and gentle truths that meet you right where you are.

In the final October episode, Amy and TIDES recovery care manager Gabrielle Young go deep — into the unglamorous reality of getting a driver's license when you have a criminal record and a newborn, into the kind of patience that nobody wants to practice but everyone needs, and into the role of trust and spirituality in making it through the transitions that feel impossible. Amy gets personal about her mom's Alzheime...

If you want to understand what the TIDES program really does for women, hear it from someone who lived it. Gabrielle Young is now the recovery care manager at TIDES — and she's also a graduate of the program. In this conversation with Amy, Gabrielle shares her story with honesty and grace: what it looked like to arrive at TIDES, what shifted while she was there, and how she ended up on the other side of the desk, he...

What does it actually look like to rebuild your entire life — housing, sobriety, relationships, finances, identity — all at the same time, with a baby in your arms? In part two of her conversation with TIDES CEO Debbie Leggett, Amy gets specific. They talk about what it means to have your life raft ripped away, why sobriety is just the foundation and not the finish line, and the staggering reality of adverse c...

This month on Healthy AF, Amy is shining a spotlight on a local nonprofit that stopped her in her tracks — and it's easy to see why. TIDES (Transforming Individuals through Dedicated Empowerment and Support) serves one of the most vulnerable and most overlooked populations in Wilmington: pregnant women and new moms navigating substance use disorder. Amy sits down with TIDES CEO Debbie Leggett to hear how a single OB...

Amy closes out Transitions September with a personal story that is equal parts hilarious and deeply relatable. It starts with a Tuesday pickleball meltdown and ends with a pretty profound realization about patterns she didn't know she was still carrying. If you've ever white-knuckled your way through something, gotten increasingly frustrated, and somehow not connected the dots that maybe — just maybe — you need to do so...

What happens when your only two options both feel terrible? In this episode, Amy takes us inside a real coaching session with a client who was bouncing between two attitudes — one that felt like giving up and one that felt like suffocating obligation — and couldn't find her way out of either. If you've ever been stuck vacillating between I'm done and I have to, this one will feel uncomfortably familiar. Amy walks throug...

September on Healthy AF is all about transitions — because Amy has come to realize that transitions are basically her entire job. In this episode, she makes the case that all of life is one long move from here to there, whether here is a sedentary lifestyle, an empty nest, a worn-out dining room table from the 1800s, or just a version of yourself you've quietly outgrown. Amy gets into what separates the people who come out of...

A friend asked Amy a loaded question the other day — one that came with a tone that said I am barely holding it together over here: how do working people actually create balance? Amy's honest answer? You're probably not going to love it. This episode digs into the mindset that keeps so many high-achieving, hard-working people perpetually behind the eight ball — the reflexive, reactive, drop-everything-right-now way of o...

What started as a folder, a few radical names, and a roomful of broken-hearted women in Kansas grew into something Suzy Brown never quite planned for. In episode three, she walks us through how word of mouth, a journalism degree, a very supportive second husband, and a son named Grady helped turn a grassroots support group into a ten-week program that spread through churches, conferences, and eventually the internet. Amy and Suzy a...

What do you do after you've cried in the closet, stalked your ex's apartment at midnight, and slowly crawled your way back to functional? If you're Suzy Brown, you call eight other women who are in the same wreckage, show up with handouts, and start building something. In this second episode, Amy and Suzy dig into the birth of the RADICAL group — Rising Above Divorce in Confidence and Love — and what happened when a han...

Amy Chang sits down with Suzy Brown — author, advocate, and self-described survivor — for a conversation about the thing nobody prepares you for: the complete unraveling that comes with an unwanted midlife divorce. Suzy was in her early fifties when her marriage ended suddenly. What followed was grief, panic, a lot of sadness, and more than a few moments she's not entirely proud of. In this first of four episodes, Amy a...

Pausing sounds simple until you're in the middle of a conflict, your nervous system is on fire, and every cell in your body wants to either blow up or disappear. In part two, Amy gets honest about what avoiding the pause actually looks like — the spin, the obsessing, the replaying of conversations at 2am — and what it looks and feels like to actually use it. She breaks down how to size your pause to match your emotional...

You said yes when you meant no. You're grinding through something you dread. You're backed into a corner and scratching your way out — and none of it is getting you where you actually want to go. In this first of two August episodes, Amy introduces one of the most underrated tools in her coaching practice: the pause button. Through a real client story that will feel uncomfortably familiar, Amy makes the case that the pause is...

In part one of this final breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle go deep — into the body, into the emotions, and into the kind of healing that doesn't have a name until you've experienced it.

A bonus fifth Monday in June brings an unexpectedly raw and beautiful episode. Health coach Amy Chang set out to wrap up a month of fun and play, but life had other plans. After the sudden loss of her beloved German Shepherd Ginny, Amy shares a deeply personal reflection on something many high-achieving, growth-oriented people know all too well: the quiet, exhausting belief that if we just prepare enough, learn enough, and do enoug...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
