Say hello to Charlie, the lovable therapy dog and Sue Grundfest, founder of Pet Partners of Las Vegas. On this episode of #FilipiNARS presented by the Philippine Nurses Association of Nevada—we’re exploring the healing power of animal-assisted therapy (AAT).

AAT is a structured, goal-oriented intervention that integrates animals—like dogs, cats, horses, and even birds—into treatment plans to support emotional and psychological well-being. Conducted by licensed professionals, it helps clients achieve specific therapeutic outcomes through guided interaction with animals.

To give us a deeper understanding of how this works in practice, we’ve invited Ms. Grundfest and Charlie to share their journey and impact with Pet Partners.

Tune in and discover how compassion comes in all forms—sometimes with four paws and a wagging tail.

Musician & Entrepreneur: Do This So You Don't Have to be a Starving Artist [Courageously Speaking]

#CourageouslySpeaking with Maria: In a world that equates pursuing music to becoming a "starving artist," this episode of Courageously Speaking challenges that notion with multifaceted musician and entrepreneur, Patrick Worley. From his time as a backing musician in Nashville to building a thriving business in Las Vegas, Patrick proves two main things:


1) You can thrive as an artist if you do it right (luck is good but since it's rare, try hard work and strategy) and
2) Time is not the hours you have but how you spend them
Discover how he merged his classical training with business acumen, and why for any creative, show business is more about the business than the show.
