174: They've Brainwashed You to Think Psych Meds Are Good, But They Make You Worse 21.08.2026 32mAccess Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here.Psychiatric medications only make you worse.A Yale study found that 1 in 23 people prescribed an antidepressant go on to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the field calls that "unmasking" rather than causation. I trained as one of the first 300 reproductive psychiatrists in the world, and I stopped writing prescriptions in 2010 after research on long-term outcomes reframed everything I'd been taught about efficacy and safety.The recent Lindsay Clancy case pulled me back into activist territory after years of stepping away from it.This episode is my attempt to say what I thought I'd already said loudly enough. There's literature on treatment-emergent violence to self and others that most prescribers have never read. There's a phenomenon called tardive dysphoria. There's David Healy's work on stable volunteers becoming acutely suicidal after exposure to psychotropics.If you've ever considered a psychiatric medication to get through a hard chapter, or if you love someone who has, this is the fuller picture I wish more people had access to before the prescription pad comes out.You’ll learn:👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

173: The Dark Side of the "Community Culture" Nobody Talks About 18.08.2026 31mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training here. Everyone tells you that you need to be in a community, but what if that was one of the most dangerous things you could do?This is a solo episode, and I am walking through the arc of my own relationship to community, from Francis Weller's work on the village we never had, to the small circle of Waldorf mamas in Miami, to the plandemic years when intentional community felt like a lifeline.A lot of what I chased did not hold. Friend groups fractured over values. The sovereign communities collapsed under interpersonal conflict. Even the online spaces started to feel like surrogate families carrying weight they were never designed to carry.The tension I keep returning to is this: Community asks for a fixed set of shared beliefs. I am someone who evolves, changes my mind, and drops ideologies when they stop resonating for me. Those two things do not fit cleanly together.I also share what my friend Alyssa is doing that seems to be working, and why the ache I felt listening to her did not translate into wanting her life.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[2:23] The community wound and why Francis Weller says it haunts us all[5:00] How I detonated a bomb in my holistic mom group over values[8:49] Why conscious communities keep collapsing under their own projections[11:03] The one friend whose thriving community makes me ache with longing[12:58] The part of me that has zero interest in community at all[18:33] Ideology-based communities become cults you can be punished for leaving[21:37] An HOA with nothing in common is somehow even weirder[23:16] Recurring revenue and digital membership sell community as a false cure[26:37] The ideological prison distorting how women approach beauty and surgery[30:33] Tom Cowan on why shared ideology fails without a shared projectResources Mentioned:Own Your Self by Kelly Brogan, MD | Book or AudiobookThe Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller | Book or Audiobook👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Elisabeth "Bizzie" McKay built a behavior prediction technology that’s 98.3% accurate, and it exposes why most mental health diagnoses are pattern recognition wearing a lab coat.Elisabeth is a tech founder, behavior futurist, and the creator of Brain Pattern Mapping and Break Method, a rewiring system built on 12 years of data across thousands of clients, prison populations, and residential programs.I did her PredictiveMind™ session before we recorded, and one specific finding cracked open something I'd been circling for years: why I can be fully assertive in one dynamic and completely fawning in another. It comes down to perceived power, and until the Elisabeth named it, I couldn't see it.Elisabeth describes her five brain pattern types, the separation of abandonment from rejection wounds, and why narrative talk therapy misses the actual root cause of behavior. She also explains why borderline and narcissism can shift, despite what the establishment claims.If you've been sorting yourself with Instagram carousels and attachment labels, this conversation will make that framework feel very small.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:01] From mental health to celebrity trainer and back again[9:02] The mother with borderline personality disorder behind her mission[20:59] Psychiatric diagnosis is pattern recognition dressed up as science[37:51] The five brain pattern types, and why we shift between them[45:55] Abandonment and rejection wounds are not the same, mental health conflates them[58:52] The cowboy pattern, and how childhood repetition predicts who you become[1:05:03] 100 years of the mental health establishment may be a farce[1:08:53] Can borderlines and narcissists actually heal, or just manage?[1:22:36] The "I'm the narcissist" moment, and why Instagram makes it worse👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

171: Why Most Pet Owners Are Accidentally Making Their Animals Sick | Ditte Young 04.08.2026 51mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training, 8/12 at 12PM ET here. Pet owners might be the cause of their pet’s sickness.Ditte Young is a clairvoyant, an internationally renowned telepath featured on The Telepathy Tapes, a TEDx speaker, and a bestselling author whose work bridges animal communication, parenting, and intuitive development.My karmic cat Mushu has triggered more inner work than almost anything else in my adult life, so this conversation went somewhere personal fast.Ditte explains how animals experience pain, why none of the dying animals she has sat with were afraid, and what's really happening when your pet seems to be mirroring your emotional state. She also addresses the question I think many animal lovers privately wrestle with: how do you eat meat while loving animals as soulful beings?Her answer surprised me. So did her perspective on why punishment fails with every species, and why one simple sentence spoken to your pet before you leave the house actually lands.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:16] How Ditte discovered she could hear animals as a sensitive child[10:56] Why animals mirror our nervous systems and become more than just a pet[13:54] Exploring whether some animals spiritually contract to carry our unconscious conflicts[15:48] Why an animal's illness might reflect the human's unaddressed issues[18:30] Elephants and dolphins reveal which intelligence actually measures[22:07] The unresolvable dilemma of loving animals and eating them for dinner[35:32] Punishment never works and what to do instead of the spray bottle[42:44] What animals actually feel about pain and dying, and why they're never afraid[48:13] Can a soul cross species, or does a cat soul stay a cat soul[52:32] The envelope test and why telepathy is the easy part👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

170: How to Become Motivated Instantly 28.07.2026 12mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here.Get instant recorded access to Kelly's Audacious Embodiment 2 weekend here.Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here.The reason discipline feels so hard isn't laziness, and it isn't a lack of motivation either.This episode answers a listener's question about how to actually follow through on the things we choose for ourselves, and my answer reframes the whole conversation around the inner masculine and inner feminine. Most of us are running discipline through an inner tyrant that bullies, coerces, and shames us into action. That energy is a trauma field, not a practice.There's a different way to relate to your commitments, and it starts with listening to the part of you that doesn't want to do the thing without doing it wrong.Let’s get into the difference between muscling through and reaching a real consensus between your parts. The dishes, the dance classes, the 5:00 AM sadhana I kept for five years and then released in 2020, the mundane masculine initiations like leasing a car alone, all of it points at the same thing. Once the masculine container is set, the feminine can play.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[3:12] Why the immature inner masculine bullies you into productivity through self-flagellation[5:19] How the meta-self organizes conflicting inner parts without forcing consensus[7:40] Maturing the masculine through mundane tasks actually makes you feel safer[9:46] Connecting to a good “why” transforms discipline from compliance into devotion[12:50] Why a five-year 5:00 AM sadhana eventually felt rigid, dogmatic, and unloving👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

169: The Science of Coherent Water | Mario Brainović 21.07.2026 1h 7mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Coherent water can completely change your health on a cellular level, and there’s a wand that can turn any water into coherent water.Mario Brainović is the founder of New Earth Technologies and the entrepreneur behind Analemma Water, and he's spent seventeen years funding the research that backs every claim he makes here.I came into this conversation as someone who has tried everything around water: filtration, fasting, reverse osmosis, remineralization, three liters a day, the whole neurotic arc, etc. What Mario describes pulled me out of that loop. The science is rigorous, but the implication is what got me. Ninety-nine percent of the molecules in your body are water. Change the state of that water, and your entire biology follows.We also get into the part most water podcasts avoid: what happens to the information of a toxin after you filter it out, why 5G radiation damages water at close range, and how his wife saw the design of Analemma in a vision before he ever met the inventor.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[3:49] Mario's path from selling a natural pharmaceutical company to discovering Analemma [12:03] How Mario's wife channeled a vision of swirling water from Archangel Michael and Jesus[19:22] What coherent water is, and why H2O in chaos changes everything about your biology[26:11] The 5G experiment that killed plants, and how one swirl of the wand revived them[36:11] The placebo effect can't explain a 20 percent rise in mitochondrial ATP over two months[42:31] How seeds watered with Analemma started breathing light in sync with the tides[46:06] The dead Dutch soil that came back to life, and what it revealed about the human microbiome[57:17] Why filtering toxins out doesn't erase their frequency from your water[1:03:28] The bathtub study that improved heart rate variability by at least 30 percent👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

168: How the Masculine-Feminine Polarity Fixes Any Relationship | Alexandra Roxo & Eli Buren 14.07.2026 1h 27mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here.Eli and Alexandra say most women's nervous systems will reject a deep, present man on sight.Most of what gets sold as polarity work falls apart the second you bring it home, into a marriage, into parenting, or into a Tuesday night with bills to pay.Eli Buren and Alexandra Roxo are two of the very few teachers in this space I trust to talk about masculine and feminine dynamics as something you live, not perform. Eli has been mentored by David Deida since 2004. Alexandra is the bestselling author of F*ck Like a Goddess and Dare to Feel.I've known Eli for about a decade, and he was the one who first told me to be careful about forcing my relationship into the polished version of these teachings.This conversation goes there. What immature masculine and immature feminine actually look like in a body. Why a deep, present man can feel disarming when your nervous system isn't trained to receive him. How rupture, repair, and trauma show up inside a real partnership with a child in the next roomThere are red flags they want you to watch for in polarity teachers. We name them.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[10:48] Why men's awareness and presence have become urgent currencies in a virtual world[24:39] Women reject the deep men they say they want, and Alexandra almost did too[29:39] How leaning on your looks, job, or competency exposes your immature feminine[35:23] Translating polarity from the retreat high into paying bills and taking out the trash[40:06] Bank accounts and breasts: the surface level where most couples get stuck[49:35] Words kill the polarity, and trauma imprints require more than practice[1:02:25] What Eli transmits to his daughter through tone, touch, and humming through the belly[1:10:24] Why "emotionally flexible" describes a mother's presence better than "regulated"[1:18:21] The red flags Alexandra and Eli see in other polarity teachers right now[1:23:42] Blending therapeutic somatic work with polarity practice waters both down 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

167: The Lies Around Inflation & How Bitcoin Is The Solution to Our "Broken" Economy | Scott Dedels 07.07.2026 1h 2mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here.Bitcoin isn't an investment, it's the first real way to save money through decades.Bitcoin is the most significant invention any of us has seen in our lifetime, and most people still think it's a scam. Scott Dedels, co-founder of Block Rewards, host of The Block Reward Podcast, and author of The Dao of Bitcoin, spent fifteen years in traditional finance before that frame collapsed for him.I've come to notice that the people I tend to align with on medicine, history, and sovereignty often share one thing in common. They understand Bitcoin in a way that goes far past price charts.Scott's turning point came in 2020, when the lockdowns quieted the hustle long enough for him to ask what money actually is. What he found made it impossible to keep advising clients the way he had been.We get into why fiat currency is engineered to lose value, why saving has been replaced by investing, and why he describes Bitcoin as a fixed measuring tool for time and energy.If the math of your life feels heavier than it used to, this conversation explains why.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[4:02] Why the lockdown in Canada became the spiritual inflection point for a finance bro[9:54] The father wound at the threshold of inquiry, and why deconstructing money runs root-chakra deep[16:03] Stockholm syndrome, the coincidence of wants, and the state monopoly on what money is[25:42] Why inflation is state-sponsored theft of your finite time and energy[30:10] Digital scarcity as the most significant invention any of us have been alive for[37:19] Why Bitcoin mining is civilization-level infrastructure, not a climate disaster[45:44] Can the state capture Bitcoin, and what gold confiscation in 1933 tells us[55:20] Why Bitcoin is the first real innovation in timekeeping in seven hundred years[59:51] How the mechanical clock and fiat money commoditized time, and what reversing it feels like👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

166: If You Always Need to "Be Right" As Woman, You Need to Hear This 30.06.2026 8mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here.Being right with your husband might be the single most corrosive thing you do in your marriage.This episode comes out of the audacious questions women in my private containers ask me, and this one cuts straight into the psychology of why so many of us were trained to argue, observe, and keep a mental ledger from childhood.There’s this thing I call litigator-level skills, the kind you develop growing up in a household where being right was how you avoided punishment and stayed loved. The problem is that those exact same skills poison an intimate relationship.The victim triangle keeps people trapped in cycles of blame, defense, and scorekeeping. Intimacy cannot survive a zero-sum game, and real partnership begins where the need to win ends. Finding your husband right is less about agreement and more about releasing the reflex to make him wrong.Beneath the need to be right is often a protector carrying an old job: preventing punishment, rejection, or loss of love. One simple parts work question can reveal what that protector is so afraid would happen if it stopped keeping score. Submission and surrender are not acts of self-abandonment. They are masteries that become available when control is no longer confused with safety.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[2:27] The litigator-level ledger we carry into adulthood as a trauma response[4:13] Submission, surrender, and the sacred technology of the man-woman dyad[6:52] How to disarm conflict by finding him right, even just for the fuck of it[9:35] Why losing respect for your husband begins the end, usually through infidelity👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

165: The Trap of Trying to Fix Yourself 23.06.2026 34mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here.Can you really “improve” yourself?I spent years convinced I could save the world from the bad guys, then years convinced I could save myself through deep inner work, coaching, and retreats. What I found on the other side wasn't a better me. It was a different relationship to my own badness and wrongness, and a suspicion that progress itself might be an illusion.It’s time we unpack a few things… the good-bad split, why rejecting one pole pulls you straight toward it, and why my sovereign lawfulness journey exposed the same extractive shadow I'd assigned to the IRS.I'll share what my daughter said that cracked my activist armor, why I now prize awareness and relaxation over certainty, and what it means to live by spontaneity, curiosity, and the principle of maybe.If you've ever invested in fixing yourself and still touched the nihilistic question of "is this it", I made this for you.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[2:06] From saving the world to turning the activist lens inward[5:54] The self-improvement double bind nobody in the wellness industry will name[8:02] The good-bad split and why we keep attracting what we reject[11:00] "Mama, you're afraid of so many things", the day my daughter broke the spell[14:16] Why the IRS and the sovereignty movement carry the same vampiric energy[18:27] What if you're not actually better than your mom?[20:58] The villain crown practice and the power of holding "maybe"[24:39] Why trusting your impulses matters more when money removes every constraint[28:38] Surrender, the cosmic wink, and trading progress for presence[33:33] Professional patients, functional medicine, and the loop that leads nowhere👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

164: The Embodied Woman Guide: Spiritual Paths, Chronic Illness & The 3 Ps 16.06.2026 50mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Get instant recorded access to Kelly's Audacious Embodiment 2 weekend here.Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here. There are specific tools that you can use to become embodied... and I’m about to show them to you.I want to talk about why the work of embodiment isn't softness, rose-petal baths, and endless fixation on your trauma. Most women I know are incredibly functional. They get the to-do list done, hold everything together, and then spend the rest of their lives subtly avoiding themselves through scrolling, numbing, resentment, overthinking, or exhaustion.It’s something I’ve been circling for years through my training with David Deida, Sheila Kelley’s S Factor, and Wendy’s pole work, and it’s the most honest path I’ve found for women who are tired of living disconnected from their own bodies.I walk you through the framework I use, which I call “the P’s,” and unpack the moment another woman gave me permission to stop shaming myself. Within a single weekend, the chronic tension and self-surveillance I had been carrying for years started dissolving in a way that felt almost biochemical.There’s also a short breath and movement practice you can follow along with, plus the three inquiry questions I keep returning to, including the one about your own mother that almost nobody wants to answer honestly.If you’ve been settling, ignoring the little “no,” or numbing through scrolling, this one is for you.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[4:34] How functional freeze, snacking, and scrolling become socially acceptable avoidance patterns[7:03] Why chronic resentment shows up as bloating, hair loss, and fatigue[12:27] Permission from another woman can shift your physiology in a weekend[15:00] What Wendy, the pole teacher, taught me about the whore archetype[18:36] How orienting your whole day around sensual pleasure rewires your life[21:43] Why ignoring the little no is the root of our greatest suffering[24:11] A guided breathwork practice for tracking pleasure and sexual energy[36:57] Wearing the villain crown and what your judgment of other women reveals[42:20] The regrettable impulse, the damaged story, and what would ruin you as a woman👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

163: The Hidden Trauma Created By The Psychiatry System (It's Making People Worse) | Anneke Sips 09.06.2026 1h 4mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Learn more about Kelly's Relaxed Woman System here.Most of what gets labeled psychosis isn't psychosis at all.My guest, Anneke Sips, spent over 25 years inside Dutch psychiatry as a psychiatric nurse, crisis worker, and trauma therapist before founding Network Yoga Therapy and writing Wisdom of Psychosis. She knows the isolation rooms, the forced injections, and the court proceedings from the inside. She also knows what happens when you stop reaching for restraints and start actually listening.We talk about the day-to-day reality of psychiatric wards that most people will never see, the choreography of medication compliance, the way fear in the provider creates the danger they claim to be managing, and the deep fear, especially in women, of being found crazy.If you've ever wondered what would happen if the person across from you didn't flinch when you described your inner world, this is that conversation.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:32] Psychiatric systems can train people to identify with illness instead of healing[12:48] Medication becomes the default response before deeper causes are explored[18:55] Experiences labeled psychosis may reflect profound inner shifts[24:04] The mainstream definition of psychosis shapes personal identity[29:51] Mystical experiences overlap with psychiatric diagnosis more than most realize[36:11] Stigma keeps people silent about experiences outside the norm[41:48] Supporting someone in crisis without forcing a clinical narrative[48:10] Years inside institutional systems can erode self-trust[01:00:01] Caregiving reveals the emotional cost of carrying too much alone👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

162: Birth, Death & Marriage: The Rituals We've Forgotten | Stephen Jenkinson 02.06.2026 1h 27mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Matrimony and weddings are not what society made us believe.Stephen Jenkinson is a Harvard-trained theologian, author, and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School, whose work has spanned dying, elderhood, storytelling, and now matrimony.Most modern weddings last fifteen minutes. He spent close to a year preparing each one he officiated, and the ceremony itself ran six to eight hours.He didn't set out to study marriage. Young people came to him asking for something they couldn't name… nothing that sounded like a top-40 song or looked like a fairy tale. He started paying attention to the strange shards still left in the standard wedding: the aisle no one sits in, the procession, the throwing of food, the giving away.What he found changes the conversation. Matrimony, he argues, has nothing to do with celebrating love between two people. It's about mothering culture, and patrimony is its structural counterpart. One builds the house, the other moves in and makes it a home for the wider world.This episode goes into what a real wedding looks like when guests become witnesses, why the personal vow may be the weakest part of the ceremony, what patriarchy actually means before it became a slur, and why "celebration of love" may be the phrase that hollowed the whole thing out.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:10] How young people pleading for a real wedding pulled Stephen into matrimony work [09:23] Treating wedding traditions like archaeological shards reveals what we've lost [18:40] The nuclear family became the default after Christianity dismantled elders and kinship [28:12] The difference between wedding, marriage, and matrimony… and why patrimony has no holy state [38:59] Reclaiming the word patriarchy from sloth and virtue signalling [48:38] Why "celebration of love" turns guests into spectators instead of witnesses [59:36] What a six to eight hour ceremony with reversed seating and real petitions looks like [1:22:23] What a couple planning a wedding should consider before the big day👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

161: How to Handle Physical Pain without Medications 26.05.2026 8mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here.Get instant access to Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here. How can you learn to handle physical pain with a holistic approach?Most people treat physical pain like an enemy to silence as fast as possible. I used to think the same way, until three rib injuries forced me to spend entire nights with the sensation.What I found challenges the assumption that pain is a constant, unending stream. It actually moves in micro-undulations, and there's a specific somatic practice that lets you feel that.This episode walks through pendulation, a somatic experiencing technique I practice with my coach, Whitney. It's a tool for staying with sensation instead of running from it.I'm drawn to this method over natural pain remedies, CBD, or other supports I could reach for. The interest isn't in eliminating sensation. It's in learning what's actually happening inside my body.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[00:07] What to do when you'd normally reach for a pill[00:22] Why I avoided chronic pain until this past year[00:47] The somatic experiencing practice called pendulation[01:24] Why pain is not a constant stream of torture[02:08] What changes when you stop resisting physical sensation[02:31] Step-by-step: how to pendulate through physical pain[03:26] Why a born skeptic was surprised this worked[03:43] Why I skip CBD, DMSO, and other natural options 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

160: Caretaking Men's Emotions is Secretly Destroying You (Do This Instead) 19.05.2026 32mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Get instant access to Kelly's Beauty Backroom here: KellyBroganMD.com What if caretaking a man's emotions isn't kindness at all, but a strategy you've been running since childhood to stay safe?I'm sitting with this question today, on my own, unpacking why so many of us soften every “no”, manage every reaction, and absorb the emotional weight of interactions we didn't fully consent to. The root isn't generosity. It's self-protection wired into a female body navigating a world where physical aggression is always on the table.I'll get into the father wound, the "I'll get him to see" reflex, and the specific moment when disgust signals a split you've been ignoring. I'll also share a story about a silk dress, a freezing recording studio, and what fawning looks like when you can't even ask for a blanket.If you can name one push-pull dynamic in your life right now, this is the conversation about why you're still in it, and what the cost has actually been.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction [01:10] Why caretaking men's emotions is a strategy, not kindness [03:00] The anatomy of the "poor bargain" and the inner pimp that overrides your no [06:30] How to spot a trauma bond by the push-pull dynamic in your life [10:45] The father wound as a wound of unsafety, and the woman it builds [14:30] The "I'll get him to see" pattern and why it keeps you stuck in your head [16:15] The land of no pity and what resolves victim consciousness [19:45] Presenting your raw feelings and letting men solve the problem [22:00] The silk dress story: what fawning looks like in real time [26:30] Closing reflections on self-trust, boundaries, and clean no 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

159: The Hidden Dangers of Psychiatry & Medications (And What to Do Instead) | Laura Delano 12.05.2026 1h 12mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here. Get your tickets to Kelly's live Audacious Embodiment weekend in Miami, FL here.Is the mental health system really helping people feel better?Laura Delano is an author, speaker, and founder of Inner Compass Initiative, a nonprofit devoted to helping people make informed decisions about psychiatric drugs and how to taper off them safely. She has spent over a decade working with individuals and families around the world seeking guidance and support for psychiatric drug withdrawal.A label can start to shape your life before you even realize it. I heard Laura’s story of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in adolescence and how that diagnosis led to ongoing experiences with psychiatric diagnosis and the use of psychiatric drugs.What unfolds is not only a personal account, but a look at how patient identity can expand while a life contracts, even in the presence of consistent compliance and care. Years of trying to do treatment “right” led to being told she had treatment-resistant mental illness, a conclusion that carried devastating implications about what was possible.She began to question the treatment she had trusted and realized she had handed over her authority to make sense of her own experiences. What she arrives at now is a different orientation, centered on reconnecting to an inner compass, where information is shared freely, and people are supported in making their own decisions about their lives.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:36] Why Laura wrote Shrunk, and the conversation she wanted to spark [09:01] The mirror moment at 13 that pulled her into the mental health system [13:58] Why the borderline diagnosis was the one she couldn't stomach [19:48] How becoming the perfect patient made everything worse [29:32] The moment she realized the system she trusted was a system of control, and why Whitaker's data sealed it [35:20] What withdrawal actually cost her, and who she became on the other side [47:31] How her family held on while she shed the identity of designated patient [52:45] What she did when a suicidal woman called her instead of going to the hospital, and where community support has limits [01:05:44] What the Inner Compass Initiative is, and what it's trying to do differently 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

158: How to Live a Healthy Life in a Sick World | Troy Casey 05.05.2026 1h 23mGet your tickets to Kelly's live Audacious Embodiment weekend in Miami, FL here. How can you possibly live a healthy life when everything around you is toxic? Troy Casey came out of a Versace modeling career in Milan after realizing the industry was robbing his soul. What followed was ayahuasca in the Amazon, 11 Vipassana retreats, and a commitment to make a real difference in how people take care of their health. He’s open about the parts of the journey nobody posts: the black mold years, the divorce, the accusation during cancel culture, and the decision to go celibate and work on himself. Troy and I talk about what a man’s mission actually demands of him, why feminism destroyed the family, and why hookup culture is a dead-end road. He also gets specific about raising a 14-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son in a world of fentanyl-laced everything and pornography on tap. His answer is presence, staying close to his kids, and saying things most dads avoid. You’ll learn: [00:00] Introduction [04:38] From modeling to Miami excess: Troy's life before the awakening [10:02] How sobriety, Vipassana, and ayahuasca in the Amazon gave birth to Certified Health Nut [18:16] Black mold, abandonment, and the inner work beneath the mission [30:45] How feminism and hookup culture broke the family [35:20] What the Amazon awakened in Troy about fatherhood, legacy, and procreation as a prime directive [47:17] Marriage as a sacred covenant and where the divine feminine narrative led him astray [54:14] Why Troy's mission and his role as a father are the same thing, not competing priorities [01:04:28] The celibacy window: sexual energy, self-work, and the blueprint for Troy's next relationship [01:15:22] Taking the toxic load seriously without the neurosis that reads as fragility 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

157: The Long-term Relationship Between Trauma Healing, Diet & Lifestyle 28.04.2026 21mAccess Kelly's Turn On Training here.Get your tickets to Kelly's live Audacious Embodiment weekend in Miami, FL here.What’s the long-term relationship between trauma healing, diet and lifestyle? This has to do with the whole healing journey.I’ve come to see that a diagnosis isn’t just a medical event, but a deeply personal moment that impacts your sense of self. When you begin to ask more audacious questions about your diagnosis, it changes how you relate to it and becomes the starting point of your health story.When I look back on my own Hashimoto’s diagnosis, I see how deeply I once trusted the system without questioning it. People respond to a diagnosis in different ways. For me, it was the immediate urge to fix it, leaving no room for worry. Others may feel fear or that something is wrong with them.Belief alone can shape your physical experience. I share a moment when I was convinced I had lice and spent 24 hours scratching my head, only to find there were none. This revealed how real the nocebo effect can be.At one point, I found myself sitting in front of a voice teacher, confronting my resistance to expressing myself. It made me question how the stories we believe impact our ability to heal from trauma.Ultimately, there will be a time when you relate to your body differently and can close this healing chapter.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:51] Diagnosis as the beginning of a hero's journey, not a problem to fix[04:44] The nocebo effect is real, even when you don't believe in it[08:34] The meaning you give your diagnosis becomes the foundation of your entire health story[12:42] Why healing on paper isn't the same as healing in consciousness, and what the throat has to do with it[17:56] Why I no longer fixate on antibody levels, and what they actually might be doing[20:16] How to know when it's time to close the healing chapter and stop being a professional patient👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Learn more about Kelly's Relaxed Woman System here.Become the woman your man lives to please in just 5 days with Kelly's Soft Power Protocol.Get your tickets to Kelly's live Audacious Embodiment weekend in Miami, FL, here.Social structures have been destroying the man-woman polarity.The energetic dynamics of polarity in relationships reveal why so many people feel caught in cycles that never quite resolve. The desire for intimacy often clashes with a deeper resistance to vulnerability and emotional exposure.Early conditioning shapes how we relate to our bodies, our emotions, and ultimately each other. Patterns like anxious attachment and avoidance don’t appear randomly; they are reinforced through family dynamics and cultural programming.This episode is interesting because I unravel how father wounds and mother wounds shape attraction, behavior, and conflict. These patterns tend to recreate familiar pain, often under the illusion of connection.I also pull on threads around how feminine and masculine energy have been reshaped by modern narratives like sexual liberation and feminist conditioning. These shifts have changed how we approach intimacy, commitment, and identity.This is an invitation to move out of control, competition, and misunderstanding, and into complementarity. The path forward begins with self-responsibility, embodied awareness, and a willingness to meet each other in a new way.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:18] How polarity creates attraction between men and women[04:12] Why being right shuts down intimacy[06:32] How early conditioning disconnects you from your body[09:08] How father wounds drive control and hyper-independence[11:02] How mother wounds create avoidance in men[14:36] Why modern relationships feel like a zero-sum game[18:07] How sexual liberation changed emotional connection[23:12] What happens when masculine and feminine polarity collapses[34:10] How devotional partnership transforms relationship dynamics👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Get your tickets to Kelly's live Audacious Embodiment weekend in Miami, FL here, AND Join Kelly's Beauty Backroom LIVE on 4/16 at 12 PM ET here. As men and women, we need to be misaligned with our biology.Today, I’m joined by Steve Coughran, founder of The Unbreakable Man Project, who supports men navigating disconnection in their marriage despite outward success. After two decades in sales, he stepped away to build a life centered on sovereignty, family, and grounded leadership.Something shifts when a man stops trying to manage the relationship and starts taking responsibility for his own capacity. That change reorganizes respect, attraction, and stability in ways most couples never name.Many men feel overwhelmed even when they’re performing, what real presence requires, and how being in a room with other men changes behavior fast. There’s also a deeper look at shame, responsibility, and why most men were never shown what it means to lead in their own lives.This conversation challenges the idea that more communication fixes everything and points to what actually restores connection.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:12] Why many men reach success externally while still feeling lost in their role as a husband[12:47] What actually changes when a man stops trying to fix his partner and takes responsibility for his own state[18:33] How men’s groups create immediate shifts without advice, coaching, or problem-solving[24:58] The reason shame drives avoidance, shutdown, and disconnection in men[31:21] What it takes to build real presence instead of performing confidence or control[37:46] Why emotional processing with a partner often breaks polarity instead of deepening connection[44:10] How physical discipline and challenge expand a man’s capacity to handle pressure in life[50:27] What children actually need from a father beyond time, attention, or words[56:42] How a man’s clarity around mission changes the entire dynamic of his relationship👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
