When we hear other women’s journeys of healing it helps us make sense of our own. In my most honest and raw podcast yet I talk about a big part of my own healing journey and where I am with it now. Healing isn’t something you do just once and it’s done. Healing takes time to unfold. And the layers, oh my the non-linear layers. Sometimes things come up in your healing journey that you thought were...

Happy Pride! One is not born, but rather becomes a woman. “One is not born, but rather becomes a woman” is a quote by Simone de Beauvoir in her 1949 book, in which she discusses the treatment of women throughout history. This quote is a great reminder that becoming a woman is a process for us all, including our trans sisters. In this episode I talk with Rhea Rollmann, the award-winning journalist,...

There’s a common theme that keeps coming up lately. Women keep saying, “I just want to feel like myself again.” These last 16+ months have left many of us aching for us to just “feel like ourselves”, whatever that may be. We remember a version of ourselves that wasn’t so depleted and wary from dealing with the pandemic. Many of us remember a version of ourselves that wasn’t so burnt out and had mo...

There’s something undeniable about the power of an eclipse. Ancient peoples would look up at them in awe similarly to the way we do now. Eclipses are about shedding the old skin, letting go of old patterns and creating space for the new. They are about healing and growing. They are a wonderful time to reflect, go inward and we have extra tools to help you get through this next powerful eclipse sea...

Every try, every ounce of effort counts in this game called life. Trying MATTERS. And in current times when we may be feeling “effort fatigue” due to all the extra energy, work and time even simple tasks take, it’s nice to be reminded that all the effort, energy and TRYING matters. It’s accumulative and it’s the only way anything ever gets done, really. Research-wise, effort matters even more than...

There’s a lie that is told and repeated to keep us small and it is that we are somehow not enough. It’s the underlying belief rotted in so much negative thinking, sadness and even illness. But we are here to tell you (or remind you, because we all need reminding sometimes) that you are ABSOLUTELY enough. And that trying your best is, of course, enough. And maybe with our little visual meditation y...

This is the time for new beginnings. We’ve faced so many endings in the last year but like the ancient trilogy of the Goddess teaches us, there is birth, death and rebirth. And this is REBIRTH time. There is hope! There is light at the end of this tunnel! Some of us thrive in times of change and others struggle with finding our footing amid the “newness” of things. Whatever camp you are in, our ho...

What we all need right now is to be extra kind and gentle with ourselves. It’s been a long, strange and confusing year. It can be tempting to critique ourselves or to try to rush back to some kind of “normal” but what we really need is patience, encouragement and support. The good news? In *this* story, the princess saves HERSELF. But to do that she must be nice to herself. She must listen to hers...

In this episode Kelly offers up some real world suggestions on how to focus on the good stuff going on in your world. We all know these are trying times but there are things we can do to get grounded and clarify the meaningful stuff while letting the less important things fall away. We can bring those treasured joys to the forefront of our mind and day. As Trooper taught us, the sun can’t shine ev...

In this pod and radio show we encourage and support our listeners to feel and be whatever they are right now. It’s powerful and healing to be honest with ourselves as we face these times of massive uncertainty and ongoing stress...

Living in hope is ALWAYS better than living in fear. And despite the rocky start to the year, most of us are SO ready for more optimism and faith right now. There’s a shift occurring. And even if the last year has caused us to be extra cautious, there is a growing desire to do better and be better. But what shall be? The question can be as paralyzing as it is wondrous. However, if we approach it w...

In this star-studded pod we have all our special podcast guests of 2020 here to share the lessons each of them has learned from this epic year.

We made it! We are going to survive 2020 and live to tell about it! This time of year is usually meant to be slower and more reflective as we celebrate life and all we’ve learned but *this year* there’s even more to process that usual. We all need to take some time to digest and absorb what this year has been, what we’ve experienced, what it has felt like and what it all means to us. Individually...

One of the best ways you can help yourself in times of stress and uncertainty (like 2020!) is to focus on what you *can* control, instead of what you can’t. People of all ages are burning out from the intensity and strain of this year. Mental health issues are on the rise everywhere. But there is good news: You have the power to focus (or refocus) your attention. YOU say what gets your time and en...

It is important to give your inner child love, support and reassurance, in “normal” times. But it is especially true when we’ve all been so shocked and challenged by world events out of our control. By connecting to and listening to your inner child you can help to heal yourself while stepping into your full adult being. In this episode, Kelly helps you to identify what your inner child can sound...
