Empty Arms and Pet Partners of Eastern Maine join together to discuss the healing power of therapy animals.

In the October 10th episode of the Empty Arms Podcast: The healing power of four paws--Stacey & Koda's story, Taylor Black sits down with Stacey — a woman who is no stranger to grief and has turned her own pain into purpose. Through her healing journey, Stacey discovered the incredible comfort and connection that therapy dogs can bring. She’s since built a powerful therapy dog program through her local hospital, creating moments of joy, peace, and healing for patients, families, and staff alike.

Together, Stacey and her loyal therapy dog partner, Koda, are spreading love and light in the most beautiful ways. We talk about how animals have a remarkable ability to connect with people on a soul-deep level, often offering support without a single word. Their story is one of resilience, hope, and the gentle power of four paws and a compassionate heart.

This episode is sponosored by Harbor of Hope Counseling, owned and operated by Nathaniel W. Lutz, LCPC.
