Chandler Stroud built a career on data, strategy and measurable outcomes. She is now making the case that the tools her industry dismisses are the ones its women need most.

After reaching tens of thousands of listeners across more than 75 countries, award winning podcast The Healing Heroes is evolving into something more immersive. Chandler Stroud, founder and host of the Healing Heroes Podcast, today announced the launch of Happiness Academy, a year long, application based membership designed to help women move from inspiration to action in their healing journeys.

We are thrilled to announce that The Healing Heroes Podcast has been honored with two prestigious awards at the 2025 Davey Awards, solidifying our commitment to delivering impactful and insightful content to our listeners.

There are seasons when life starts to feel like a quiet blur. You keep showing up, but something feels slightly off: your energy dips, patience wears thin, and you can’t remember the last time you felt fully present. It’s not failure or self-sabotage; it’s disconnection. Many women live in this space for years before realizing how far they’ve drifted from themselves.

The wellness podcast space moves fast. New hosts, new guests, new hacks arrive each week, potential reinvention through novelty. The Healing Heroes Podcast works in the opposite direction.

When Chandler Stroud walked away from a lucrative career as a Fortune 500 marketing leader, she wasn’t chasing a new rung on the corporate ladder. She was chasing peace.

It didn’t happen all at once. There was no dramatic turning point—just a slow realization that life had more to offer. Chandler Stroud was in her 40s, juggling work, parenting, and aging parents, and doing what most high-achieving women do: keeping it all together.

We’re in a cultural moment where high-achieving women are quietly unraveling. On the outside, they hold it all together. Inside, many feel disconnected, anxious, and spiritually depleted. They aren’t breaking down. They’re losing a sense of grounding.

We’re proud to announce that the Healing Heroes Podcast has been recognized by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA) at the 31st Annual Communicator Awards, receiving both an Award of Excellence and an Award of Distinction.

I love the children’s book entitled “Broken Crayons Still Color” by Toni Collier, because it’s such a powerful metaphor for how so many of us move through life. If you look up ‘broken’ in the dictionary, you’ll see something to the effect of: ‘having been fractured, damaged, and no longer in one piece or in working order.’

We are magic. With that power comes the ability to make anything happen, including love. The energy we give to matters and others can make change happen. Our abilities are more potent than we know, so manifestation can help us bring positivity, abundance and love into our lives by focusing on the desired result.

Always ask yourself, is it a tragedy or an inconvenience? This profound question has helped me maintain a healthy perspective, especially this past year as I continue building my own business, but it applies to all areas of life.

Anxiety seems to be the dis-ease of our times. More people than ever are taking medications to help them cope with stress. Nearly everyone I talk to is consumed with anxious feelings that hijack any pleasure they could be getting from their lives.
