HEAL with Kelly

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 meaningful life. We also dive into the power of music as a metaphor for life, the importance of finding your "root" relationships, the healing power of community, and why true wealth may actually be the quality of experiences we share with the people we love. This episode reminded me that healing isn't just about fixing ourselves — it's about coming back into tune. Back into connection. Back into the rhythm of who we really are.

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 women’s health markers to physical recovery, brain function, EMFs, blue light, and the power of intention and subconscious patterning, this episode weaves science, lived experience, and timeless wisdom together in a grounded, thoughtful way. It’s an intriguing and inspiring conversation that invites a deeper understanding of how energy and frequency shape our lives, and opens us up to a world of infinite possibilities!

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.

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.

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 ever wondered how to live more from your heart with discernment, compassion, and courage, this conversation will remind you that everything you need is already within.
