Welcome to The Sound of Loneliness Podcast!
This podcast is hosted by Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Founder & Executive Director of Valley Connections Counselling Amanda Youssef.
*Disclaimer: Please be aware that this episode discusses sensitive topics related to disordered eating that may not be suitable for all viewers.*
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ashley Thistlethwaite, a psychotherapist at my practice, and she shares with me her journey of having an eating disorder and going through hospitalization for this as a child and young adult. At times, even when surrounded by concerned family and an army of health practitioners, Ashley, found herself slipping into a lonely part of herself, a part we call “Sarah”, and a touching darkness that threatened to steal her life.
Listen as Ashley vulnerably opens up about the war within her that she was only able to end when she found empathy and compassion for “Sarah”, and led that part of her back to the light she held within her.
We hope you enjoy these stories of grit and grace.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
