Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the aftermath of the LA wildfires, including destruction, displacement, and animal rescue. So please take care and caution while listening.
Hello, Heal Squad. It’s been an incredibly challenging time for the city of Los Angeles. The ongoing wildfires have left a heartbreaking mark on so many communities, but amidst the devastation, one thing remains clear: the unwavering spirit of Angelenos. Countless people have stepped up to support families who have been displaced and show what it means to be LA Strong. In today’s emotional episode, Maria sits down with three incredible guests: Dr. Maria Pyrdek, Chief Veterinarian at Pasadena Humane; California firefighter Chien Yu; and renowned PR founder Ashlee Margolis. Together, they share their raw emotions and inspiring efforts to help rebuild lives and guide our city on its path to healing. You’ll hear the touching story of how 1,000 pets have been reunited with their families, a first-hand account from a firefighter who faced the flames in those critical first moments, and the raw, emotional realities of families rebuilding their lives—some leaving behind pride to accept the essentials they need to start over. It’s a powerful episode filled with resilience, hope, love, and most of all healing.
