The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

Send us a text Ever left the vet’s office wondering if your dog’s “BAR” status was a good thing or if your cat’s “PU/PD” means they’re about to explode? You’re not alone. In this episode, Amanda and Dr. Olson dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of veterinary lingo—translating acronyms, demystifying medical terms, and laughing through the chaos. From “TFBNDY” (huge shoutout to our friends at All Star Veterinary Clinic!) to “DUDE,” “Party Hat,” and even “Cuterus,” we’re breaking it all down. Because you deserve to know what we’re talking about when we say “nothing per oral cavity.” (Spoiler: That’s not a real thing. Probably.) Listen in, learn a little, laugh a lot—and finally crack the code on WTF your vet is saying. Stay in the loop with Dr. Olson and Amanda’s adventures beyond the mic!

Send us a text Vet care is priceless… but it definitely ain’t free. In this episode of Feces and Laughter , Amanda and Dr. Olson dive headfirst into the uncomfortable truth about pet care costs. We’re talking CareCredit, AllPet Card, and other payment options—plus pet insurance, crowdfunding do’s and don’ts, and how Franklin’s All-Stars and Zoetis rewards can save your tail. But first? We’re setting the record straight. 💥 No, we’re not monsters for charging for services. 💥 No, your vet doesn’t hate animals. 💥 And no, Cheryl, you cannot pay with exposure and vibes.

Dr. Brad Ryan is an accomplished veterinarian and world traveler who made headlines for visiting all 63 U.S. National Parks with his adventure partner and superstar grandma, Grandma Joy.
