• Healing Through the Earth: Composting, Community & Reconnecting With Nature
    Jan 26 2026

    Healing doesn't only happen within us — it also happens in our relationship with the earth, our food, and our communities.

    In this episode of You Are Heard, host Aniola Pierre sits down with Zarron, also known as The Worm Whisperer, for a grounded conversation about composting, environmental healing, and reconnecting with nature as a form of wellness. Together, they explore how turning food scraps back into soil is not just an environmental practice, but a powerful reminder of life's natural cycles.

    This episode dives into the healing power of gardening, grounding practices like walking barefoot, speaking life into plants, and how caring for the soil directly impacts the food we eat and the health of our bodies. Zarron shares his journey into composting, his work with community gardens and schools, and why nurturing the earth is inseparable from nurturing ourselves.

    If you're curious about holistic healing, environmental wellness, gardening, composting, or finding simple ways to reconnect with nature, this conversation offers inspiration, education, and grounding reflection.

  • Using Your Voice to Heal: Surrender, Self-Advocacy & Choosing Truth
    Jan 19 2026

    Healing often begins at the moment we choose truth over silence.

    In this episode of You Are Heard, host Aniola Pierre reflects on surrender, self-advocacy, and the courage it takes to use your voice, especially when speaking your truth has the power to change everything. Through personal reflection and lived experience, Aniola explores how surrender is not weakness, but an intentional choice to trust alignment over control.

    This episode holds a compassionate conversation about healing after trauma, the fear that can come with telling the truth, and the way silence can quietly shape our lives. Aniola shares how using her voice became a turning point in her own healing journey and invites listeners to consider what it might look like to honor their truth with care and intention.

    This is not a story shared for shock, but for healing, offered as a reminder that your voice matters, your experience is valid, and surrender can be a powerful step toward freedom.

  • Living Comfortably in Your Skin: Proactive Healing, Alignment & Self-Care With Dr. Crystal
    Jan 12 2026

    Healing doesn't always begin when something is broken. Sometimes, it begins when we slow down, listen to our bodies, and choose to care for ourselves proactively.

    In this episode of You Are Heard, host Aniola Pierre sits down with Dr. Crystal, a chiropractor and wellness entrepreneur, for a grounded conversation about healing from the inside out. Together, they explore how nervous system alignment supports whole-body wellness, why chiropractic care is about prevention not just pain, and how stress, trauma, and daily life can live in the body without us even realizing it.

    This episode also dives into skin health, self-love as a practice, and what it truly means to live comfortably in your skin. From eczema and plant-based skincare to speaking life over your body and honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit, this conversation reframes healing as something gentle, intentional, and deeply embodied.

    If you're curious about proactive wellness, nervous system care, holistic healing, or learning how alignment supports your physical and emotional well-being, this episode offers both education and affirmation.

  • Why the New Year Feels So Overwhelming (And Why It's Okay to Slow Down)
    Jan 5 2026

    The start of a new year often comes with pressure — pressure to have everything figured out, to move fast, and to become someone new. But what if the overwhelm you're feeling isn't a failure, but a signal to slow down?

    In this episode of You Are Heard, host Aniola Pierre reflects on why January can feel emotionally heavy and why choosing grace over pressure may be the most aligned way to begin a new season. We explore the cultural pressure around New Year's resolutions, the disconnect between January and nature's rhythms, and why winter is a season meant for reflection, rest, and intentional planning, not rushing or overperforming.

    This conversation is an invitation to release comparison, trust your timing, and honor the season you're in. If you've been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward this year, this episode is a reminder that your growth doesn't need to be forced.

  • Be Heard & Heal: Why I Created the I Speak Fellowship Night
    Jun 16 2025

    In this heartfelt episode of the You Are Heard Podcast, I take you on a journey into the roots of fellowshipping, how it was introduced to me as a child and why it continues to shape the way I create sacred spaces for healing today.


    As I reflect on the ways we used to gather — sharing meals, stories, and presence — I realized how much our modern world is missing true fellowship. That realization birthed the vision for I Speak Fellowship Night: a space where we break bread, share truth, and speak life into one another.


    In this episode, I share:

    • ​ The childhood memories that sparked my love for fellowshipping
    • ​ Why I created the I Speak Fellowship Night experience
    • ​ How I envision this space transforming our collective healing journey


    If you're craving deeper connection, community, and a place to be fully heard, this episode was made for you.


    Tickets are now available for our next I Speak Fellowship Night — happening Sunday, June 29th.

    Limited seating. Reserve your spot here: https://youareheardpodcast.Komi.io


    Let's come together, speak our truth, and heal — together.

  • Before the Results: A Call to Disrupt, Heal, and Rise
    Jun 10 2025

    This episode was recorded on Election Day 2024, before any results were announced but the message still echoes louder than ever. I sat with the energy of uncertainty, reflection, and purpose. No matter the outcome, I knew one truth: change begins within.


    This previously unreleased episode is a personal call to action for myself and for you. It's about becoming the disrupter in your own life, awakening your voice, and stepping into the kind of transformation the world is hungry for.


    It's not about politics it's about personal power, collective healing, and showing up differently.


    🎙️ In this solo reflection, I share:


    • Raw thoughts recorded before knowing the results
    • What it means to be a spiritual and emotional disruptor
    • Why your inner revolution is more powerful than any vote
    • A reminder that you are the shift


    This is your invitation to activate purpose, speak truth, and live like the world is watching, because it is.
