  • Why Journaling Works: Science, Ritual and Self-Healing with Tara Schuster

    Why Journaling Works: Science, Ritual and Self-Healing with Tara Schuster
    2026/01/29
    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.

  • Embrace Yourself: Redefining Beauty and Body Image with Taryn Brumfitt

    Embrace Yourself: Redefining Beauty and Body Image with Taryn Brumfitt
    2026/01/22
    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.

  • The Science of Handling Life’s Unexpected Changes Gracefully with Dr. Maya Shankar

    The Science of Handling Life’s Unexpected Changes Gracefully with Dr. Maya Shankar
    2026/01/15
    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.

  • Rhonda Byrne: The Secret Behind Manifestation, Money, and Emotional Freedom

    Rhonda Byrne: The Secret Behind Manifestation, Money, and Emotional Freedom
    2026/01/08
    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.

    Manifest Your True Essence and Full Potential with Estelle Bingham
    2026/01/01
    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.

  • Ancient Kabbalah for Modern Healing with Madonna’s Teacher Eitan Yardeni

    Ancient Kabbalah for Modern Healing with Madonna’s Teacher Eitan Yardeni
    2025/12/25
    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 purpose when everything feels uncertain? Throughout our conversation, Eitan shares powerful insights about expanding your vessel, cultivating true fulfillment, and embracing the light that’s hidden inside the very moments we tend to resist. This is one of my favorite conversations of the year, and I hope it will be as enlightening for you as it was for me! If you’re craving a deeper understanding of your path, if you’re navigating a challenge, or if you simply want to feel more connected to yourself and the world around you, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. It’s expansive, grounding, and filled with the kind of reminders that stay with you long after the conversation ends.

  • The Real Root Cause of Anxiety (and How to Heal It) with Dr. Ellen Vora

    The Real Root Cause of Anxiety (and How to Heal It) with Dr. Ellen Vora
    2025/12/18
    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 about fixing symptoms — it’s about coming back into balance, reclaiming your wholeness, and trusting your inner wisdom.

    JoySpan: How to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier with Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight
    2025/12/11
    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.
