Episode 302: Habits of a Whole Heart with Arnie Herz and Dr. Orly Calderon (Part 3)
In this deeply moving third installment of Habits of a Whole Heart on hmTv, host Arnie Herz and psychologist Dr. Orly Calderon bring their powerful series on wholeness and healing to a heartfelt conclusion — exploring how post-traumatic growth, reframing, and community can transform pain into purpose.
Dr. Calderon explains the difference between cognitive restructuring and post-traumatic growth, illustrating how both approaches empower us to reinterpret suffering and move from “Why did this happen to me?” to “For what purpose did this happen?” Together, she and Arnie share deeply personal stories of loss, illness, and recovery — from Orly’s journey through sudden bereavement to Arnie’s near-death experiences with heart failure and a brain bleed — showing how reframing and resilience can turn even life-threatening moments into sources of strength, empathy, and renewal.
The episode expands from the personal to the communal, highlighting how acts of compassion — like Suzanne Herz feeding hospital staff and founding the Alisa Conet Fund — create ripples of hope and belonging that extend across faiths and cultures. Arnie and Orly close with a call for bridge-building: finding shared goals between divided groups as a way to heal both hearts and societies.
Authentic, emotional, and profoundly uplifting, this episode reminds us that the goal isn’t to erase pain — it’s to make it productive and transformative.
