HEAL with Kelly

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 with more trust, awareness, and compassion.

If you’ve been questioning your path, feeling disconnected from loved ones who’ve passed, or wondering whether you’re truly supported… This episode is an invitation to listen differently, and find alignment through intention and love.

You are more guided than you realize.

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 self-abandonment led her back to the simplest tools—and why science now supports what intuition and our ancestors have always known.

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 relationship with our bodies.

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 identities we’ve clung to suddenly fall away. Maya shares vulnerably about losing the violin career she spent her childhood building, and later, facing the grief and identity questions that came with unexpected challenges around motherhood.

We also dive into some of the most fascinating ideas from her work — like why we mistakenly believe we’re “done changing,” how awe and moral beauty can completely redirect our lives, and a simple 5-minute practice
that can ground us when we feel unmoored. We talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the courage it takes to imagine ourselves beyond old definitions.  In a world where CHANGE is the only constant, Maya's work is a lighthouse. 

This conversation is honest, expansive, and full of insight. If you’re navigating transition, grieving a path that didn’t unfold, questioning your identity, or simply curious about who you’re becoming… this episode is for you.

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, including depression. She explains how she created a game that turned outgoing expenses into “incoming money,” and the miracles that followed. We also discuss how welcoming intense and all-consuming emotions can dissolve them, and why gratitude is one of the fastest ways to lift your frequency and change your life.

This episode is filled with heart, humility, honesty, and practical magic. Rhonda brings clarity to concepts we’ve all heard but may not yet fully believe and embody — and reminds us who we truly are beneath fear, conditioning, and resistance.
