Our 2025 Podcasthon Episode! For this, we highlight Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, a children's rehabilitation hospital dedicated to treating the whole patient.

 In this extra special episode, Ozzie the Octopus is having a blast playing Gaga Ball— until he hurts two of his eight tentacles! He needs to see a physical therapist to help him heal, but Ozzie feels nervous. What if it hurts? What if it’s too hard?

Luckily, his best friend Sammy the Seahorse won’t let him face it alone! Sammy promises to go with him, and together, they meet Ozzie’s new physical therapist, who shows him fun exercises to help his tentacles get stronger.

By the end of the appointment, Ozzie’s fear turns into fascination—physical therapy isn’t so scary after all! In fact, he loves learning how therapists help others heal and he starts to wonder… could this be a job he wants to do when he grows up? Join Ozzie and Sammy in this inspiring episode about facing fears, and healing with help!
