This Is Healing

This week’s episode begins with an update on Patrick’s case — discovery, sealed evidence, and the reality of waiting years for trial. I share why I pushed for the death penalty, why life in prison isn’t punishment for a man who has already lived most of his life incarcerated, and the fight ahead with the Patrick Heringer Act to bring real-time tracking to ankle monitors. From there, I move into th...

On June 4th, my husband Patrick was murdered in our home. He died protecting me. Patrick was a veteran, a war hero decorated with two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge. He came back from combat and built a community of health, resilience, and connection. To me, he was my partner, my best friend, my person. That night shattered everything. Since then, survival has meant swimming, drowning...

In this episode, I answer one of the most personal questions you sent in: “How can we support you right now?” I speak openly about what it’s like to live inside this grief—feeling anger, jealousy, and sadness without forcing them away or judging them. I share why trying to “fix” me or my grief isn’t helpful, and what actually is: climbing down into the abyss, matching my temperature, and honoring...

In this episode, I bring you inside my recent ketamine therapy session—what it is, how it works, and what it brought forward in me.  talk about the science first: why ketamine is used to treat PTSD and depression, how it works in the brain, and what makes it different from psilocybin. But more than that, I talk about what it felt like. What showed up for me in that altered state wasn’t just memory...

I’m sharing what’s been real for me this week: returning to Colorado Springs, where Patrick and I met, fell in love, and got married. I didn’t go back to relive the past—I went to serve someone I love. And in doing that, I was cracked open in ways I didn’t expect. I talk about Bhakti Yoga—the path of devotion—and how it showed up in cooking for a friend, in grief that lives in the body, and in the...

This episode is not a how-to. It’s a map. A voice memo from the middle of grief, trauma, and survival. I’m Sarah Heringer—a somatic practitioner, coach, and woman whose life changed in an instant when my husband was murdered protecting me. I’ve spent years studying the body. Now, I’m living inside the truth that healing doesn’t happen in your head—it happens in your tissues, your breath, your nerv...

In this episode, I speak honestly about what it means to live through the aftermath of unimaginable trauma. I share the raw experience of surviving my husband’s murder and the unraveling that happens when life doesn’t go back to normal—but everyone else’s does. I explore what’s really beneath the surface of functioning: the rage, the disgust, the guilt, and the grief I’m learning to hold. We talk...

In this deeply intimate podcast, I share my journey through complex grief following the devastating loss of my husband, Patrick. With raw honesty, therapeutic insights, and relentless advocacy, I explore the truths we often avoid: grief permanently reshapes us, healing is never linear, and true survival requires confronting the layers within ourselves. I’m here to bear witness to my story—and your...

Welcome to Healthy Clickbait. I’m Sarah Heringer—somatic life coach, holistic health practitioner, and the creator of The Original Method. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly what I mean by Skinny Girl Summer—and why I think it’s time we reclaim the word “skinny,” reframe what it means to be healthy, and dismantle the aesthetic culture that keeps women stuck. Let me be clear: This is ...

WHAT IS STRATEGY & AUTHORITY? – Strategy = how your energy interacts with the world. (e.g., Generators respond, Projectors wait for invitation, Manifestors inform, etc.) Authority = how you make the right decision for yourself once life presents something. → Not every opportunity is your opportunity. → Strategy opens the door. Authority tells you whether to walk through it. Drop real-world exa...

Welcome back. This one’s for every woman who’s trained hard, followed the rules, and still feels like the results don’t match the effort. You’re not alone—and you don’t need to do more. You need a better map. A map that’s actually made for your body. This episode is a full hour. We’re going deep into what physical training for women should actually look like—especially for those of us 35 and older...

I’m recording this from my bedroom, the window is open, and you might hear some city noise—someone yelling at their dog, a rogue leaf blower, maybe a truck that desperately needs a new muffler. Welcome to Healthy Clickbait—we keep it real over here. I could close the window. I could try to make this sound “cleaner.” But that would be missing the point of this entire episode. Because most of us hav...

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I’m just tired,” “maybe I’m not wired for pleasure,” or “this pain must be normal.” It’s not. And deep down, you probably know that. In this week’s episode of Healthy Clickbait, I’m joined by Dr. Taylor Swintt—pelvic floor physical therapist, strength coach, and currently pregnant (which adds a whole new layer to this conversation). We talk about wha...

Let me ask you something. When’s the last time you looked in the mirror... and didn’t check for something wrong? Not to see how your outfit looks, or if there's something in your teeth—but really looked. Eyes locking with your own. And didn’t flinch. Didn’t scan. Didn’t brace yourself for the internal commentary. Most of us don’t realize... we’ve been trained—conditioned—to treat our reflection li...

Alright. So let’s start with the honest truth: Most of us are walking around with absolutely no idea how our energy actually works. We’re trying to follow someone else’s blueprint—whether it’s a productivity coach, a manifestation influencer, or that person you follow who drinks green juice and does breathwork at 5 AM like their life depends on it. And sometimes it works. But most of the time? You...

It starts in the jaw. A slow clench, a tightening just below the ears. It moves down the throat, past the collarbone, and settles behind the ribs. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t need to. It’s been here long enough to feel like part of the structure, something built into the body’s scaffolding. At first, it only flares when something directly sets it off—the news, a conversation, an email t...

Episode Summary: Hey there, it’s Sarah, and today on Healthy Clickbait, I’m tackling one of the most common questions I get: “Is there any validity to the keto diet?” Spoiler alert: the short answer is yes, but you know me—I’m not stopping there. In this episode, I’m unpacking what keto really is, why it works for some people, and why so many headlines and government guidelines are still trashing...

Episode Description:  In this episode of Healthy Clickbait Hotline, I dive into the topic of people-pleasing and why it’s more than just being “nice.” Joined by a question from listener Carrie, we explore what people-pleasing really is—a pattern of denying your own needs to keep others happy. We discuss how it’s rooted in our nervous system and often tied to fawning, which is the instinct to appea...

In this episode of The Healthy Clickbait Podcast, I tackle a listener-submitted question about cannabis use and the shame many of us feel around it. We explore the science behind cannabis, focusing on its effects on the brain's dopamine system, and how societal perceptions compare cannabis to alcohol. I share personal insights on how shame can be deeply tied to societal stigma, using Brené Brown's...

You know the drill. When people around you are struggling—family, friends, co-workers—they come to you. And you? You step right in to help. But have you ever stopped to ask why? Why is it always your responsibility to jump in and fix things? Are you carrying the weight of everyone else’s problems? If you’re nodding along, then you might be a fixer. And trust me, I get it—because I’ve been there. H...
