SHUT UP and Smile!
“SHUT UP and Smile!” is a powerful and compassionate podcast dedicated to shedding light on the tough and silent issues of abuse.
Join me, Nancy Kohne, along with my co-hosts my daughter Keery and good friend Lisa as we openly and honestly share our own personal stories of abuse and be inspired by our journey toward healing.
Hang with us as we find humor in our past, rebuild our lives, discover relationships built on empowerment, and show you that there is always hope for a brighter future!
Grab a tissue, but be prepared to laugh along the way.
We see you and we invite you to join our tribe!
SHUT UP and Smile!
“Healing on All Levels: Blanca Rodriguez’s Journey of Body, Heart & Voice”
In this inspiring episode, host Nancy Kohne welcomes the dynamic Blanca Rodriguez, CEO of Wounded Healer, LLC. Blanca wears many healing hats—massage therapist (for both people and pets!), certified fitness instructor, Amazon best-selling co-author, speaker, podcaster, and holistic life coach.
Together, they explore:
- The meaning behind “Wounded Healer” and how Blanca’s personal journey shaped her mission
- How she integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual healing in her coaching
- Her powerful evolution into public speaking through Toastmasters—in both English and Spanish
- The heart-driven community work she does with survivors, senior dogs, and no-kill shelters
- Advice for bilingual women and immigrant communities who feel called to heal and lead
From trauma to transformation, Blanca’s story is one of purpose, visibility, and compassion. Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation filled with healing, heart, and hope.
