HEAL with Kelly

What if the stress, pressure, and anxiety you feel aren’t really coming from what’s happening around you but from the unconscious beliefs you’re carrying about who you need to be? In this deeply personal conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Peter Crone, known as “The Mind Architect,” to explore the hidden patterns that keep us stuck in survival mode and what becomes possible when we begin to loosen our grip on them. We dive into why so many of us live in a constant state of vigilance, the difference between reacting to life and truly being present with it, and how our resistance to fear, judgment, and uncertainty may be creating more suffering than the circumstances themselves. Peter also shares his vision for a new way of living — one rooted less in fear, limitation, and separation, and more in freedom, love, presence, and possibility. And then the conversation takes an unexpected turn. I ask Peter to turn the mirror on me and reveal the patterns and blind spots he still sees operating beneath the…

What happens when you feel completely healthy — only to discover that cancer has been quietly spreading throughout your body? This episode marks the first of a new series on the HEAL with Kelly Podcast: HEALing Stories, where we’re creating more space to share real people, real healing journeys, and powerful stories of hope and resilience. In this powerful HEALing Story, Stacy Solodkin shares her extraordinary journey from an unexpected Stage 3C ovarian cancer diagnosis to being eight years out with no evidence of disease. Stacy opens up about the subtle symptom that sent her to the emergency room, the moment she was told cancer was “everywhere,” and why trusting her intuition and refusing to be sent home may have saved her life. She shares the importance of advocating for yourself, seeking second opinions, and finding a medical team that truly feels aligned with you. Stacy also takes us inside the whole-person approach she embraced alongside conventional cancer treatment — from nutrition and acupuncture to…

What if the moments when life seems to be falling apart are actually asking something deeper of us? In this highly unique episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend, internationally recognized forensic psychic medium and spiritual teacher Carissa Schumacher, for a fascinating conversation about transformation, surrender, and the unseen forces that may be guiding us through some of life’s most challenging chapters. Carissa shares the extraordinary story of how losing nearly everything ultimately led her down a spiritual path she never could have predicted — and eventually to a life-altering experience in which she unexpectedly began channeling the spirit of Yeshua, the true name of Jesus in the language of Aramaic. What followed was a deeply personal journey of learning to trust, integrate and share these channeled transmissions, which Carissa says are not about giving away our power to an outside authority, but about deepening our own relationship with the Divine and learning how to co-create…

What if a cancer diagnosis that feels like the end of your world could actually become the beginning of a completely new and empowering relationship with your body, your life, and yourself? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Elina Fuhrman — Cancer Healing Strategist, epigenetics expert, therapeutic chef, bestselling author of Soupelina’s Soup Cleanse, and founder of the Healing Journey Method and the Fuhrman Protocol. After discovering a lump just before her 40th birthday and receiving an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, Elina found herself overwhelmed by fear, conflicting information, and treatment decisions that felt impossibly urgent. So she turned to the skill that had shaped her former career as an Emmy-nominated CNN journalist: she started asking questions. Relentlessly and fervently — like her life depended on it. And those questions took her places she never expected. We explore what it means to become an active participant in your health journey rather than simply handing over…

Could some of the symptoms you’ve learned to live with — brain fog, fatigue, headaches, hormonal changes, or simply not feeling like yourself — have less to do with what’s happening inside your body and more to do with the environment you’re living in? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ariana Thacker, chemical engineer and founder and CEO of MoldCo, whose own unexpected health crisis led her to investigate one of the most overlooked environmental factors affecting our health: mold exposure. We talk about why mold-related illness can be so difficult to recognize, why conventional testing often completely misses it, and the surprising reason two people living in the exact same home can have completely different experiences. Ariana also challenges some of the biggest assumptions we have about where mold exists — including why newer homes aren’t necessarily in the clear. We explore the emerging connections researchers are seeing between our environments and everything from brain and…

What if Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin when you start forgetting names or struggling with memory but decades earlier, when subtle changes are happening in your metabolism, inflammation, and brain? With Alzheimer’s in my own family, this conversation with Dr. David Perlmutter felt especially personal. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, six-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the leading voices challenging how we think about brain health and cognitive decline. His new book, Brain Defenders, explores emerging research around microglia — the immune cells of the brain — and why they may hold an important key to protecting our brains as we age. We dive into why Dr. Perlmutter believes we need to start thinking about Alzheimer’s prevention in our 30s and 40s, the surprising connection between metabolic health and the brain, and how our everyday choices may influence whether our brain’s immune cells protect us or work against us. We also get into the role of ultra-processed foods, blood sugar…

Do you struggle to get good sleep? The reason you’re exhausted, waking up at 3 a.m., or struggling to feel like yourself might surprise you. And likely has to do with sneaky and quietly disruptive sleep habits. In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with world renowned sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, PhD, a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist known as The Sleep Doctor. After nearly 25 years in the field, he has a refreshingly simple message: we may be making wellness — and sleep — far more complicated than it needs to be. There is a ton of information jam packed in this episode. We explore the fascinating science of our individual sleep chronotypes (I’m a Lion, what are you?!) and how understanding your body’s natural rhythm could change the way you approach not only sleep, but your entire day. Dr. Breus shares some surprisingly simple sleep tips that challenge many of the things we’ve been taught about getting a good night’s rest. We tackle some of…

Grief has a script that we’ve been handed: five stages, one after another, until time supposedly heals you. But what if that was never the full story? There isn't one right way to grieve, and your path might look different. In this episode, I sit down with Kate Doerge, certified grief coach, speaker, and author of Reimagining Grief, who has walked through more loss in one lifetime than most people can grasp. She lost her father unexpectedly to heart failure, then her mother to an accident, and then, most heart-breakingly, her 16-year-old daughter Penny. Out of this deep experience of loss, she's built a completely new way of moving through grief — one built on choice instead of waiting for it to pass. We talk about what it actually means to feel grief in your body, the signs from her loved ones Kate can't explain away, and the choice that turned her family's indescribable loss into a way of helping thousands of others heal through loss. This conversation made me think differently about grief, healing, and…

Could some of the biggest health challenges our kids are facing today — anxiety, emotional meltdowns, trouble focusing, allergies, even immune issues — are actually rooted in the gut? In this episode, I sit down with Tina Anderson, founder of Just Thrive, for a conversation about why the microbiome may be one of the most overlooked foundations of lifelong health. After leaving successful careers in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina and her husband set out to understand the root causes of chronic disease, and what they discovered completely changed the direction of their lives. We explore the powerful connection between the gut and the brain, why so many children are struggling with gut imbalances today, and how everyday factors like antibiotics, ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, and chronic stress may be impacting our health in ways most of us never realized. Tina also breaks down common myths about probiotics, explains what makes spore-based probiotics different, and offers a simple explanation…

I sat down with a woman who walked away from one of the most public marriages in music history — and I wanted to know what it actually takes to choose yourself when the whole world admires your partner. Deborah Santana spent over thirty years building a life, a business, and a family inside a marriage to one of the most famous musicians of our time, Carlos Santana. From the outside, it looked like the dream. But somewhere along the way, she started asking herself the question so many of us avoid: Am I actually living my purpose, or just managing everyone else's? Deborah is an author, activist, philanthropist, filmmaker, and longtime advocate for equity and empowerment. Her new memoir, Loving the Fire, traces a journey of choosing truth over appearances, freedom over fear, and her own voice over quiet acceptance of what no longer serves her. In this conversation, we get into what it really takes to rebuild your identity after fame, motherhood, and decades of putting yourself last — the moment that finally…

Have you ever wondered how some people find the strength to keep going when life keeps knocking them down? In this conversation, I sit down with bestselling author and creator of the global phenomenon The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod, to explore what it really means to heal, persevere, and choose hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. Millions know Hal for transforming their mornings — but fewer know the extraordinary journey that led him there. From a car accident that left him clinically dead for six minutes and being told he'd never walk again, to a rare cancer diagnosis with only a 20-30% survival rate, Hal has been forced to confront life's darkest moments over and over, and has found his way back every single time. What struck me most wasn't just his resilience — it was his perspective. We get into the five-minute rule, the difference between optimism and delusion, why he believes resistance — not circumstance — is the real source of emotional pain, the true origin of the Miracle Morning and the…

You all know that we are living in a toxic soup of seen and unseen chemicals. They're in our water, our food, our air, our furniture, and our clothing — everywhere we turn. It can feel overwhelming. But what if detoxification simply became a natural part of how we live, not something we need to fear or stress about? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, vitality expert and detox architect Natalie Lefevre, for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to support the body's ability to heal. Like many of the guests I love bringing to you, Natalie's passion comes from her own healing journey. After being misdiagnosed, experiencing serious health challenges, and losing someone she loves, she was propelled into a lifelong search for answers that took her far beyond conventional medicine and around the world in pursuit of innovative healing modalities. Natalie works with advanced diagnostics and blood filtration technologies to uncover what conventional approaches often miss. But what I love…

I truly feel that all healing is spiritual healing. And this is something Dr. Amy Robbins emphasizes it in this eye opening conversation. Amy is a clinical psychologist, spiritual teacher, psychic medium, and host of the podcast Life, Death, and the Space Between. She has spent 20 years quietly doing something quite radical — building a framework that refuses to separate what happens in the therapy room from what's happening in your soul. She calls it Spiritually Informed Therapy, and I really feel like it’s the missing piece in the mental health conversation. We get into the spiritual experiences therapists are increasingly hearing from their patients behind closed doors — but are often hesitant to address because it’s not acknowledged in the western psychology space. We talk about everything from felt presences of spirits, intuitive knowing, grief, communications from other realms, awakenings, and why traditional mental health spaces don't know how to hold them. Amy shares why she believes spirituality can…

What if the way you’ve been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart? In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication. We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being. We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we’ve been taught. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us…

Most of us are doing all the things — and still not feeling vital and energized. This episode might reveal the missing piece… In this week’s episode, I sit down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas, and her story alone is worth pressing play for. It starts with someone she loves, a health crisis that wouldn't budge, and a discovery that quietly changed the direction of her life. We get into what infrared light actually is — and why it's so much more than just a hot room. We cover how it works at the cellular level, and what that actually means for detox, circulation, and the kind of deep rest most of us aren't getting. We also had a really honest conversation about the nervous system — why you genuinely cannot heal when you're stuck in fight-or-flight, and what it actually takes to come back into regulation. It’s not about adding another step to your wellness routine. It's about understanding what your body needs to do what it is innately designed to do... to heal. If you feel like you’ve been…

Do you feel like you've lost touch with yourself somewhere in the noise of modern life? Like you're doing all the things… but still feeling disconnected, drained, or out of rhythm with who you truly are? This conversation with Michael Trainer felt like medicine for my soul. Michael is the co-creator of the Global Citizen Festival, host of the Peak Mind podcast, and author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and in this episode, we explore what it really means to live in resonance with yourself, your relationships, your purpose, and the deeper "song" that wants to be expressed through your life. We talk about the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection… why some people energize us while others leave us depleted… and how our nervous systems are constantly being shaped by the environments, media, and relationships around us. Michael shares beautiful insights from Resonance on grief, heartbreak, healing, authenticity, creativity, and why pain itself can become the compost for a more…

Is the life you’re experiencing right now something you’ve been unconsciously creating — or are you creating from a place of purpose and intention? Most of you know manifestation is one of my favorite topics to discuss! In this episode, I sit down with Papi DiNuzzo — wealth manager, manifestation coach, and author of Manifest Anything You Can Imagine — for a spontaneous, high-frequency conversation about what it really means to consciously create your life. We go beyond surface-level “law of attraction” ideas and into how your thoughts, emotions, and subconscious patterns may be shaping your reality in ways you may not even realize. We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in repeating patterns, how negative self-talk can influence what we attract, and why the first moments of your morning can be so important. Papi shares his perspective on the subconscious mind, energy, and why manifestation is not a quick fix but something you live and practice daily. We also explore gratitude, belief, and emotional…

I didn’t know too much about the impressive Johanna Hellrigl before this conversation — a friend suggested I interview her and I intuitively said yes on the spot. And I’m so glad I did! Johanna is the chef and founder behind Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and a board member of the Environmental Working Group who is revolutionizing what it means to nourish people — from the way she sources whole ingredients to how she cares for her team to the deeper intention behind every decision she makes. She is building a model of hospitality where indulgence, vitality, sustainability, and community coexist — proving restaurants can drive cultural and systemic change. This woman is doing the work, and you can feel it. Johanna’s personal story also really moved me. As a chef, entrepreneur and mother, Johanna shares parts of her life that shaped the way she sees health, intuition, and what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing.…

What if the story you’ve been told about your diagnosis… isn’t the only one available to you? In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Mark Ruegg, a Stage IV pancreatic cancer thriver whose awe-inspiring journey reinforced what I know is possible when it comes to healing. I first heard about Mark after two different people told me I had to hear his story — and after listening for myself, I had to have him on the podcast. Incredibly, he credits the HEAL Documentary for inspiring a sense of hope and possibility after his diagnosis. It brings me so much JOY to know the film continues to inspire this community to take your healing and transformation into your own hands! After being told his cancer was inoperable and incurable, Mark found himself standing between two very different worlds—one rooted in fear, prognosis, and limitation… and another rooted in possibility, belief, and the body’s capacity to heal. What he chose changed everything. We talk about the moment he came across the HEAL Documentary — and…

What if the reason you feel more tired, foggy, or just not like yourself anymore… isn’t just hormones or “getting older” — but something happening deeper in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Jen Scheinman, a registered dietitian with over 25 years of experience in nutrition and healthy aging and Director of Science Communications at Timeline Nutrition. Jen is one of the leading educators on Urolithin A — a postbiotic compound found in Mitopure — and its role in mitochondrial health, cellular renewal, and longevity. Beyond Timeline, she also runs her own practice, Next Jen Health, where she helps women optimize vitality through the menopause transition and beyond. We explore a part of our health that most of us have never really been taught to think about—our mitochondria, the energy centers inside our cells — and why so many women start to feel a shift in their 30s and 40s, when the things that used to work suddenly don’t. Jen breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense, connecting…

Do you ever feel there might be more to your story than what’s happened in just this lifetime? In this perspective-shifting episode, we go beyond the ordinary and delve into the topic of past lives — as a powerful lens for understanding the fears, patterns, gifts, and deeper themes that may be shaping our lives. I sat down with past-life psychic and spiritual teacher Ainslie MacLeod, author of The Instruction and The Old Soul’s Guidebook, for a thought-provoking conversation about the deeper story of our souls, and where our fears, gifts, and purpose may truly come from. Ainslie shares how he works with his spirit guides, what actually happens during a past-life reading, and how we can begin to trust our own intuition on a deeper level. He even does a live reading on one of my own past lives — revealing patterns that felt incredibly accurate and, honestly, shocking — even for me! Whether you interpret these patterns literally, symbolically, or simply as a doorway into self-reflection, the real invitation is…

What if all the mistakes you've made, the shame you’ve carried and the terrible way you have treated yourself, are all part of the journey back to who you truly are. My ex-husband always used to say, "Sometimes we have to go to the wrong place to get to the right place” and he was right. And no, the irony is not lost on me ;) The newest episode of Heal with Kelly is near and dear to my heart because I sit down with my beautiful friend Jamie Lynn Sigler — beloved for her role as Meadow Soprano in HBO’s The Soprano’s. We dive into her powerful new book out this week called And So It Is... A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope. Jamie is incredibly brave and raw in her writing. She shares with radical honesty and humility and her story rocked me to my core while lighting me up with hope and compassion. Jamie has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (and Lyme) for 25 years. For most of that time, she hid it — from directors, from co-stars, from the world. Before her diagnosis, she hid an eating disorder and a suffocating…

What if the reason you still don’t feel your best… has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what’s happening deep inside your body? In this episode, I sit down with Jess Kane Berman of BodyBio, a family-founded company originally created by her grandfather and rooted in cellular health and science-backed solutions and this conversation completely reframed how I think about healing - from the cellular level to the emotional level. We talk about what’s really driving symptoms so many of us are experiencing right now - hormonal shifts, fatigue, brain fog, gut issues and why the answers might not be where you’ve been looking. Jess shares her personal journey through health struggles, how she navigated a diagnosis that left her feeling overwhelmed, and what ultimately helped her take her power back - guided in part by the foundational principles her grandfather pioneered and that still shape BodyBio’s approach today. We dive into the connection between stress, trauma, and the body - how what we…

Have you ever felt like you should be more healed, more clear, more certain… and yet you’re not? If you’ve been overthinking, holding on, or trying to force your way into peace… this conversation will bring you back to the wisdom of your heart. And give you a big ol' dose of counter intuitive power moves. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Danielle LaPorte to explore what it really means to live from the heart, not as a concept, but as a daily, embodied practice. This conversation challenged me in the best way, especially around how we relate to our emotions, our patterns, and even the parts of ourselves we try to push away. Danielle LaPorte is a heart-centered leader, author, and philanthropist whose work bridges emotional intelligence, spirituality, and practical devotion. She is the author of multiple bestselling books, and she joins me to share insights from her latest "sure to be bestseller", Bless & Release. We unpack a powerful reframe on healing, one that isn’t about fixing yourself, but…

What if the reason so many people struggle with chronic illness has less to do with the diagnosis and more to do with the health of their cells? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with physician, bestselling author, and Founder of Vital Plan, Dr. Bill Rawls, to explore the deeper drivers of chronic illness and how to heal the real root – the cell. After developing chronic Lyme disease in his 40s and experiencing his vitality disintegrate, Dr. Rawls began questioning the conventional approach to chronic illness. His search for answers led him beyond the traditional medical model and into the world of cellular health, herbal medicine, and lifestyle factors that influence the body’s ability to heal. Dr. Rawls explains the role of cellular stress in chronic disease, why herbs and adaptogens may work differently but as (or more!) potently than pharmaceuticals, how lifestyle shifts can restore balance in the body, and why healing often begins by addressing the environment we live in and the…

What if the worst thing imaginable happened… and instead of closing your heart, the spirit of the child you lost, inspired you to open it wider? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Jenn Levi, mother, advocate, and co-founder of the Live Like Braun Foundation, to talk about what healing really looks like after unimaginable loss. Ten months after losing her 18-year-old son, Braun, Jenn shares how grief has reshaped her faith, her identity, and her sense of purpose. From losing their home in the Palisades fire to losing Braun just months later, she reflects on how back-to-back tragedy forced her to confront the question: How is grief going to shape you? We talk about the reality that you don’t “get over” losing someone, especially a child. You learn to live with it. Jenn shares how she’s building a life big enough to hold both love and pain, how giving her grief a job transformed it into service, and how the foundation is channeling heartbreak into scholarships, rebuilding public spaces, and fighting…

What if the patterns holding you back aren't a character flaw — but a survival response your nervous system learned before you even had words for it? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, Kelly sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Nicole LePera — known to millions as The Holistic Psychologist — to explore her groundbreaking new book, Reparenting the Inner Child. Dr. Nicole has redefined how we think about healing by weaving together psychology, nervous system science, and the kind of honest self-awareness that creates real, lasting change. Together, they unpack why so many of us keep repeating emotional patterns even when we fully understand them intellectually — and why understanding alone is not enough. Dr. Nicole reveals how our earliest experiences wire our nervous system, shape the roles we play in relationships, and form the deep-seated beliefs we carry through life about our worth, safety, and belonging. You'll learn why your reactions aren't overreactions — they're…

What if the discomfort you’re feeling right now isn’t a sign that something is wrong —but proof that something is unfolding? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Jill Wintersteen, founder of Spirit Daughter and author of Spirit Daughter: Own Your Power, Change Your Life, for a deeply grounding and expansive conversation about intuition, healing, and what it really means to trust yourself through change. We talk about the difference between intuition and anxiety, why suppressed emotions and unmet needs don’t disappear but instead live in the body — and how learning to feel fully is often the doorway to clarity, resilience, self-trust and true healing. Jill shares wisdom around manifestation, timing, and why nothing meant for you can ever miss you, even when the path doesn’t look the way you expected. We also explore the larger collective moment we’re living in — from paradigm shifts and the Age of Aquarius to the role each of us plays in navigating uncertainty with heart, presence, and embodied…

So many of us have been gaslit and told we are well even though we know we are not — the fatigue, the hormone chaos, the gut issues, the brain fog, the sense that something feels off even when our labs say we’re “normal.” In this conversation we wanted to explore a different possibility: what if your body actually knows how to heal when given the right support? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Dr. Robin Berzin, a Columbia-trained physician and the founder of Parsley Health, for a deeply eye-opening dialogue about what’s missing in modern healthcare — and how functional medicine fills the gaps. We talk about why so many people feel dismissed, why bouncing from specialist to specialist rarely brings real, whole picture answers, and how root-cause medicine looks at the whole human, not just isolated symptoms. We also dive into some of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics in health right now — hormones, perimenopause, and menopause, proactive lab testing, longevity medicine, peptides…

We live in a social media, click bait world that tells us change has to be dramatic — but what if the profound transformation we’re seeking is actually much simpler? Think tortoise, not hare. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by my longtime friend Light Watkins for a grounded conversation about presence, awareness, and the quiet power of doing less. Light is the person who introduced me to Transcendental Meditation in 2007, so this dialogue feels especially meaningful and full circle. Light shares insights from his latest book, The Year You Transform The Quickest Path to Changing Your Life for the Better, which offers a slower, more intentional approach to change — one rooted in daily devotion, simplicity, and awareness rather than force. We explore practical experiments like 7-day challenges, intentional discomfort, and longer resets that help break unconscious dependencies and build self-trust. Along the way, we unpack habits, complaining culture, energy, and why small, consistent shifts often…

If you’ve ever thought, “Why didn’t anyone prepare me for this?” — this episode is for you. So many women are doing all the “right” things, yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or just off in ways they can’t quite explain. Too often, we’re told it’s simply part of aging. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Shah, whose work — and new book, Hormone Havoc — is helping change the conversation around women’s health. We talk about why women’s health has been historically overlooked, how nutrition has been left out of critical medical education, and why so many women feel dismissed when they seek real answers — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Shah explains how hormonal shifts affect the brain, gut, metabolism, mood, and nervous system — and why symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, cravings, and poor sleep are signals, not failures. We explore simple, science-backed ways to support hormones through food, movement, and lifestyle, including walking,…

Brain health is one of the most overlooked parts of women’s wellness — and that needs to change. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni, co-founders of Make Time Wellness, to talk about brain health, caregiving, and the early signs of cognitive change that are so often overlooked or explained away. We also dive into Emma’s powerful book, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path, which offers a deeply personal and practical guide for anyone navigating the caregiving path. Her reflections on love, resilience, and the invisible weight caregivers carry are both eye-opening and profoundly human. We explore how dementia can show up in unexpected ways, why women are disproportionately affected, and what happens when families are left without clear answers or guidance. Emma opens up about navigating her husband Bruce’s diagnosis, learning how to speak honestly with her children, and what caregiving really looks like behind…

What if the most powerful technology we’ll ever need is already within us? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by my good friend Gregg Braden—scientist, bestselling author, and a familiar face from the HEAL documentary—for a conversation that feels more important than ever. Gregg joins me to explore themes from his latest book, Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny, and to unpack what’s really at stake as we move deeper into an age of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and rapid technological change. Together, we explore how our biology, emotions, and intuition are not flaws at all, but expressions of an extraordinary intelligence already living within us. We touch on epigenetics, the regenerative capacity of the brain and heart, the science of coherence, and a fascinating genetic mystery—including the role of human chromosome 2 and how it may be tied to our capacity for empathy, creativity, and higher consciousness. We also explore why creativity, imagination,…

What if there are invisible forces affecting your health, emotions, and clarity that are more influential than anything you can see? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder and CEO of Leela Quantum Tech, a company developing non-invasive quantum healing technologies designed to support vitality, energetic balance, and overall health. Philipp’s path didn’t begin in wellness — it began in the corporate world, serving as a Vice President at T-Mobile, while privately navigating deep personal blocks that ultimately led him toward energy work and holistic healing. In this conversation, we explore the science behind the biofield, the quantum field, and the nervous system, and why nature holds the most powerful key to bringing us back into balance. We also talk about potent scientific research, real-world experiments, and what happens when the internal “terrain” of the body begins to change — physically, emotionally, and energetically. From fertility and…

Have you ever felt like something unseen is guiding you… even when life doesn’t make sense? In this episode, I’m joined by internationally renowned psychic medium, teacher, and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lynne Jackson for a heartfelt conversation about intuition, trust, and living what she calls an illuminated life. We talk about the signs we receive from our Team of Light, the inner knowing we often doubt, and what happens when we finally surrender control and allow life to unfold with more grace. Laura shares insights from her latest book, Guided: The Secret Path to an Illuminated Life, and we explore how guidance shows up through love, loss, healing, and even the moments that feel confusing or painful. This conversation touches on consciousness beyond the physical body, grief and continuing bonds, emotional release, forgiveness, boundaries, and divine timing—without trying to explain it all away. It’s not about bypassing the hard parts of life but learning how to walk through the darkness…

What if the things we may tend to roll our eyes at—rituals, journaling, gratitude—are actually ancient technologies for healing? AND, they are now being backed by modern science! In this episode, I’m joined by my new friend, bestselling author and former Comedy Central executive Tara Schuster, to talk about her new book, This Journal F*cking Works: The Science, Ritual, and Art of Journaling, and the practices that quietly but profoundly change lives. Our conversation bridges science and spirit, skepticism and surrender, as Tara shares how journaling—something she once completely dismissed—became a lifeline, a ritual, and the road back to herself. We talk about reparenting ourselves, inner-child healing, and why grief and gratitude aren’t opposites but companions. We explore how our culture’s loss of ritual has left us overstimulated, disconnected, and dis-eased and why creating sacred pauses in your day can fundamentally change the way you experience your life. Tara also shares how burnout, success, and…

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt “not good enough,” questioned your worth based on your appearance, or worried about the messages we’re passing down to the next generation… this episode is for you. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by the incredible Taryn Brumfitt — award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, and the force behind the global Body Image Movement. Together, we explore the beliefs we inherit, the pressures we internalize, and the quiet, exhausting battles so many of us carry in our minds and bodies. We talk about the subtle ways culture shapes our self-perception, how perfectionism shows up in unexpected places, why so many of us struggle to feel at home in our bodies, and what it truly means to choose compassion over criticism — for ourselves and for our kiddos. This conversation is honest, expansive, and deeply human. It’s an invitation to rethink the stories we’ve been told, reconnect with our own inner wisdom, and begin practicing a gentler, more grounded…

Have you ever felt terrified of change… not just because life is shifting, but because you feel like you’re shifting with it? I know that feeling well — and this week’s conversation opened my heart and mind in such a profound way. In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a renowned cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and human transformation. Maya is the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the former Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama White House. She founded and chaired the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team and later became the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya’s new book, The Other Side of Change, is a stunning blend of research and storytelling. In our conversation, we explore why change can feel so destabilizing, how our brains are wired to resist uncertainty, and what happens when the…

If you’ve ever wondered why certain moments bring you to your knees before lifting you higher than you ever imagined, this conversation is one you won’t forget. Today, I sit down with my dear friend Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, whose work has reshaped how millions of us understand our thoughts, emotions, and power to create. Rhonda’s work changed my life in the most profound ways, and I love welcoming her back for a refresher, especially as we kick off a new year and get ready to step into the abundant energy of the Fire Horse in February. In this episode, we discuss her brand-new book, Countdown to Riches, where Rhonda reveals the wealth practices that transformed her relationship with money. She shares the exact tools she relied on during periods of intense financial pressure — practices that helped her move from scarcity and survival into trust, flow, and unfathomable abundance. Throughout the episode, Rhonda opens up about the techniques that carried her through profound emotional challenges,…

Have you ever felt that your heart knows more than your mind, that quiet intuitive wisdom that guides you when logic can’t? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with the incredible Estelle Bingham, a fourth-generation psychic, holistic healer, spiritual teacher, and author of Manifest Your True Essence, for a conversation that goes straight to the soul. Known as The Heart Whisperer, Estelle shares the deeper truth about the three hearts — the physical, emotional, and spiritual — and how reconnecting with them can unlock our innate power to heal. We talk about the courage it takes to truly feel, the shadow work that helps us meet the parts of ourselves we’ve long avoided, and why our next evolution as humans is a revolution of the heart. We explore everything from somatic healing and reparenting the inner child, to shame, grief, the Divine Feminine, and even AI, and how in the face of so much change, it’s our connection to love and source energy that keeps us grounded and whole. If you’ve…

Have you ever wondered why challenges seem to show up right when you're finally stepping into your power? Or why moments of anxiety feel so intense, it’s almost as if they’re blocking your path? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my longtime Kabbalah teacher and dear friend, Eitan Yardeni, to explore the deeper spiritual mechanics of life. Kabbalah is ancient wisdom that has always resonated deeply with my beliefs and faith. Eitan, a globally respected Kabbalah teacher and Madonna’s longtime spiritual mentor, has over 30 years of experience and a gift for making ancient wisdom deeply practical. Together, we explore soul vs. ego, why discomfort is part of transformation, and how to trust the guidance that leads you into a bigger version of yourself. We also explore some of life’s hardest questions: Why do we experience suffering? What does Kabbalah say about anxiety, miracles, and the unseen 99% of reality? How do we navigate loss, trust the bigger picture, and stay connected to our…

I’ve always believed that healing starts with awareness — but this conversation with Dr. Ellen Vora took that belief to a whole new level. In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety — and she’s redefining what it means to truly care for our mental health. In this episode, she shares how her own health crisis and years in conventional psychiatry led her to a more holistic path — one that honors both science and soul. We explore the two types of anxiety she defines in her book — False (avoidable) and True (purposeful) — and how understanding the difference can completely transform your relationship with anxiety. Ellen explains how hormones shape our mood and perception, why modern life keeps us stuck in “all yang, no yin,” and how small shifts in sleep, nourishment, and nervous-system care can restore balance. This conversation bridges logic and magic, reminding us that true mental health isn’t…

We spend so much time trying not to age… but the real question isn’t how not to age — it’s how can we age well? In this heartfelt conversation of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kerry Burnight, leading Gerontologist and author of the bestselling book Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half, to explore what it truly means to live a long, meaningful, and joy-filled life. We talk about how to expand not just your lifespan or healthspan, but your joyspan— the quality of your days, your relationships, and your inner life. Dr. Kerry shares inspiring insights on how joy differs from happiness, why internalized ageism keeps us from thriving, and how autonomy, purpose, and connection become essential nutrients as we grow older. We also talk about what really matters at the end of life — and how to start cultivating it right now, no matter your age. A beautiful reminder that aging isn’t something to fear—it’s a sacred invitation to grow, love, and live more fully. Key Moments…

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stripped away every distraction — your screens, your routines, and even your ability to see? What hidden thoughts would rise to the surface? What suppressed emotions would finally have room to move? And what would catch up to you that you have been running from, for potentially years. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Berman, the founder of Sky Cave Retreats, which is the first darkness retreat center in the United States. Scott has spent more than 70 days in total darkness and has guided over 600 people through this profound inner journey. And after doing a darkness retreat myself, I finally understand why Sky Caves is booked out for 3 years and has a 3000-person waitlist. Darkness itself is a threat to the nervous system. And Scott lets everyone know who signs up that their system will probably not react the way they anticipate. He shares that the only thing one needs to bring is HONESTY, and what happens to those who don’t. I share my experience during…

This week’s episode is extra special because I’m joined by my precious and precocious six-year-old daughter, Riley Grace Gores — my favorite guest of all time. We sat down for a sweet and silly conversation about all the things that light her up — from fashion to Disneyland adventures, singing lessons, and what she dreams of being when she grows up. We also talk about family memories, the fire that changed our lives, and what she’s learned about bravery, kindness, and joy along the way. Riley even shares her favorite and least favorite things about yours truly, her ideal superpower (it involves candy), and a favorite impersonation that she learned from a certain Dancing with the Stars host. It’s a tender, funny, and endearing conversation that reminded me how much wisdom and innocence lives in a child’s heart — and how healing (and awakening!) it can be to see the world through their eyes. By the way, Riley made sure I treated her like an Amex and “DO NOT leave home without her” :) . I hope this episode…

The body is always speaking — through tension, emotion, intuition, and energy. The question is: are we listening? In this week’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. John Amaral — a world-renowned energy practitioner, chiropractor, and educator who has worked with thousands of people across more than 70 countries, including Oscar-winning actors, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympic athletes, and global leaders, including his decades-long collaboration with Tony Robbins. We explore how trauma and emotion get trapped in the body, why awareness is essential for growth, and how developing somatic and energetic sensitivity allows us to feel, truly feel, what’s happening beneath the surface. We talk about the difference between releasing energy and avoiding emotion, how the body adapts when we lose choice, and why feeling deeply — rather than bypassing discomfort — is the key to genuine healing and embodiment. When you reconnect to your body and learn to really feel ALL of the feels, healing becomes not…

What if the secret to living longer, happier, and healthier wasn’t found in a pill, a supplement, or a gym membership — but in the simple way we live our daily lives? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dan Buettner — National Geographic Explorer, multiple New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Blue Zones Project, which has helped over 10 million Americans live healthier, longer lives. Dan is the man who discovered the five places in the world where people live the longest — Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, and Loma Linda — and he’s on a mission to help the rest of us do the same. His groundbreaking Netflix series Live to 100 brought these discoveries to life on screen, earning multiple Emmy Awards and inspiring millions to rethink what it means to truly thrive. We talk about what truly drives longevity — from the foods we eat and how we move, to purpose, community, and the environments that shape our choices without us even realizing it. Dan also shares insights from…

What if everything you've been searching for is already inside you — just waiting to be remembered? What if the exhaustion, the blocks, the patterns that keep repeating aren't signs that something is wrong with you, but simply energy that needs to be cleared? You are not broken. You never were. You are your own best healer. In this extraordinary episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Oliver Niño — The Spiritual Activator, one of the most sought-after energy healers working today. Oliver didn’t choose this path. He was a serial entrepreneur building and scaling businesses when his gifts suddenly activated during a trip to Sedona. What followed was a complete life pivot, and eventually the discovery that he came from a long lineage of healers in the Philippines. Oliver helps others do what once seemed impossible — clear decades of pain and activate spiritual gifts they didn’t know they had. Together, we explore the energetic reality behind manifestation and why so many people struggle to create what they…

Sometimes, advocating for your own health can save your life. In this inspiring conversation of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my good friend Cameron Mathison, Emmy-nominated actor, television host, and wellness advocate to talk about the journey that transformed not just his body, but his entire life. You may know Cameron from General Hospital, All My Children, or as a beloved host on Entertainment Tonight and Hallmark’s Home & Family, but behind the spotlight was a decade-long struggle with unexplained health issues that eventually led to a shocking diagnosis: kidney cancer. Cameron shares how this wake-up call became a powerful turning point, guiding him away from surface-level “health” and toward a deeper, more holistic approach rooted in functional medicine, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Today, Cameron feels and looks stronger and more vibrant than ever and he’s helping others do the same through Health360, a functional health coaching platform that empowers people to reset their bodies, optimize…

What if a powerful and profound therapy session happened without saying a single word—just by standing in a field with a 1,200-pound mirror? In this deeply personal solo episode of HEAL with Kelly, I take you inside my transformative equine therapy session, where the horses became profound teachers of authenticity, protection, boundaries, and emotional release. You’ll hear how one horse reflected back my inner critic, how another embodied a protective masculine energy I had never fully experienced before, and how these encounters helped me release grief, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with my essence of joy and awe. Beyond the corral, I guide you through my process of conscious creation — from gratitude journaling to visualization practices, to the simple yet powerful phrase “Just Imagine.” You’ll learn how imagination, elevated emotion, and gratitude combine to rewire the brain, shift your biochemistry, send new information into the invisible field around you, and open you up to new dimensions of…
