Words Are Vibrations: How Creativity Reconnects Us to Who We Really Are with James McCrae Nov 05, 2026

Show notes

When I first read James McCrae’s poem Instructions Before Visiting Earth, I was so moved that I shared a video of myself reading it on Instagram. It captured something I've been exploring deeply in my own life: What if we're not here to get everything right, avoid pain, or reach some perfect state of enlightenment? What if we're simply here to experience the fullness of being human?

In this soulful and inspiring conversation, I sit down with poet, author, and creative visionary James McCrae, the voice behind the wildly popular Words Are Vibrations platform, to explore the intersection of spirituality, creativity, healing, and the human experience.

We dive into our tendency to chase perfection, certainty, and control, and the freedom that comes when we begin to surrender to life's unpredictability. James shares how his lifelong relationship with poetry and spiritual wisdom has shaped his understanding of what it means to be human, and why embracing both the darkness and the light is essential to that experience.

We also explore the healing power of creative expression, how to quiet the mind and reconnect with intuition, and why discovering your authentic voice often requires letting go of everything you've been conditioned to believe about yourself. James opens up about navigating personal transitions, the impermanence of relationships, and learning to love without attachment.

And in one of my favorite parts of our conversation, we explore a question that feels especially relevant in today's wellness culture: Have we become so focused on healing that we've forgotten to have fun, create, and actually live?

The Power of Ritual: Reclaim Your Attention in an Overstimulated World with Tracee Stanley Oct 29, 2026

Show notes

So much of our daily life is spent rushing from one thing to the next, distracted by our devices, overwhelmed by our to-do lists, and rarely taking a moment to simply be present. Somewhere along the way, we've lost touch with the natural rhythms and simple rituals that help us feel grounded and connected.

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Tracee Stanley to explore the power of ritual in a world that has become increasingly distracted, overstimulated, and disconnected. Drawing from her new book, Living Ritual: Infuse Each Day with Purpose and Spirit, Tracee invites us to reconsider the habits that shape our days—and what might become possible when we bring more intention to the moments we usually rush through.

We explore the relationship between ritual and nervous system regulation, our collective addiction to scrolling, the deeper wisdom of yoga nidra, and why slowing down can feel so counterintuitive in a culture obsessed with productivity. Tracee also shares a fascinating perspective on manifestation, self-worth, and the unconscious patterns that may be influencing what we think we want.

The conversation gets personal as we explore what it means to honor the messy, emotional seasons of life rather than immediately trying to fix them and how endings, uncertainty, and transition may hold more wisdom than we realize.

This is a beautiful invitation to reclaim your attention, reconnect with yourself, and discover the sacred hiding within the everyday.

The Missing Pieces of Healing: What a Doctor Learned From Surviving Breast Cancer Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

At 30 years old, Dr. Elizabeth Boham was building the life she had always imagined. She was in the middle of her medical residency, taking care of her health, and looking forward to starting a family. A breast cancer diagnosis was the last thing she ever expected.

In this week’s bonus episode of our HEALing Stories series, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, board-certified family medicine physician and Medical Director of Dr. Mark Hyman’s UltraWellness Center, shares how that unexpected diagnosis changed the course of her life and challenged everything she thought she knew about health.

When Elizabeth discovered a lump that turned out to be an aggressive form of breast cancer, her world was turned upside down. Suddenly, she was no longer just the doctor caring for others. She was the patient, facing difficult decisions, overwhelming emotions, and questions about what her future might look like.

Elizabeth speaks candidly about the fear, anger, and uncertainty that came with her diagnosis, the challenges of navigating the medical system, and what it felt like to question everything she had believed about living a healthy life. She shares the lessons she learned along the way, from the importance of advocating for yourself to recognizing how much more there is to our well-being than simply eating right and exercising.

The conversation also explores the impact of chronic stress, the connection between emotional and physical health, and how Elizabeth's experience ultimately transformed the way she approaches medicine and cares for her patients today.

Through her story, Elizabeth offers a heartfelt reminder that even when life takes a turn we never saw coming, there is still room for hope, self-compassion, and a new perspective on what truly matters.

From Limitation to Possibility: Change the Beliefs Running Your Life with Jim Curtis Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

So much of our lives is spent trying to fix ourselves, overcome our limitations, or become the person we think we're supposed to be. But the greatest shift often happens when we simply stop resisting where we are and open ourselves to what's possible.

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with transformational coach and bestselling author Jim Curtis, whose signature Hypno-Coaching℠ approach blends subconscious reprogramming and spirituality to help make the impossible feel probable.

I absolutely loved this conversation! Jim and I are on the same page when it comes to healing. At the end of the day, it doesn't need to be complicated. I appreciate his accessible message: you can’t fail at healing.

Shaped by his own journey through chronic health challenges and disability, Jim brings a compassionate and refreshing perspective to personal transformation. We explore how childhood programming and subconscious beliefs quietly shape our lives, why awareness alone isn't always enough to create lasting change, and how radical acceptance can become a doorway to freedom.

We also dive into forgiveness, self-love, manifestation, and the ways our need for control, approval, and certainty can limit what we believe is possible. Jim challenges the pressure to become completely "healed" and offers a different way of approaching life's struggles, setbacks, and uncertainties — with greater trust, curiosity, and compassion.

When I read Jim's new book, The Book of Possibility, I felt like kindred spirits. We draw inspiration from so many of the same teachers and philosophies, and I love how he distills profound wisdom into a practical guide for creating the life you truly desire.

This heartfelt conversation is an invitation to release the stories that keep you stuck, reconnect with what you really want, and stop waiting for some future destination to experience the beauty of your life. Because sometimes the greatest possibility lies in learning to fall in love with the journey itself.

The Hidden Connection Between Trauma, Nervous System & Autoimmune Disease with Dr. Amy Myers Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Here’s the real question: What is it that’s keeping your body in a constant state of stress?

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Amy Myers, New York Times bestselling author and functional medicine physician, as she prepares to release the newly revised edition of her groundbreaking book, The Autoimmune Solution. More than a decade after its original release, her wisdom for treating autoimmune conditions is more relevant than ever. Amy shares how her understanding of autoimmunity has evolved through years of treating thousands of patients and navigating her own extraordinary healing journey.

From Graves’ disease and repeated toxic mold exposure to PTSD, profound loss, and frightening cancer scares, Amy opens up about the experiences that challenged everything she thought she knew about healing. We explore the potential drivers of autoimmune disease, including gut health, diet, toxins, and infections, alongside the often-overlooked roles of chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and the nervous system.

But our discussion goes beyond the physical body. Amy shares the unexpected spiritual experiences that transformed her relationship with fear, safety, and surrender. We also explore leaky gut, gluten and autoimmunity, emerging approaches to health screening, and why two people with the same diagnosis may need entirely different paths toward healing.

Ultimately, her story reminds us that healing is never one-size-fits-all. It invites us to look beyond symptoms, trust our intuition, seek out practitioners who support us, and remain open to the many dimensions of healing.

You Can’t Get It Wrong: Letting Go of Fear, Perfectionism & the Need for Control with Peter Crone (Part 2) Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you stop talking about transformation — and actually experience it in real time? Hint: you feel a new type of freedom reverberate through your whole being — or at least that was true for me.

In Part Two of my conversation with my dear friend Peter Crone, known as “The Mind Architect,” things get MUCH more personal. I ask Peter to turn the mirror on me and share what patterns, limitations, and blind spots he still sees in me that are operating beneath the surface. And, in true Peter fashion, he goes right there, with honesty and care.

If you haven’t listened to Part One yet, I highly recommend starting there. Peter and I explore the unconscious beliefs that keep us stuck in survival mode, our resistance to fear and uncertainty, and what it means to move through life with more presence, freedom, and trust. Part Two picks up right where we left off.

What unfolds is less of an interview and more of a real-time exploration of the beliefs we carry, the pressure we put on ourselves, and the ways our past can quietly shape how we move through the present.

We explore perfectionism, safety, vulnerability, relationships, purpose, and what it might mean to live with less fear and more freedom. Along the way, Peter challenges some of the ways we typically think about healing, personal growth, and even the idea of becoming a “better” version of ourselves.

There was a moment in this conversation when I could viscerally feel something shift in me. And it reminded me that sometimes transformation doesn’t happen because we’ve finally figured everything out — it happens when we’re willing to look at ourselves with a new perspective.

This is a vulnerable, surprising, and deeply personal continuation of our conversation — and one I’m excited to share with you.

We Can Choose Heaven or Hell: How to Live From Freedom, Love & Presence with Peter Crone Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

What if the stress, pressure, and anxiety you feel aren’t really coming from what’s happening around you but from the unconscious beliefs you’re carrying about who you need to be?

In this deeply personal conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Peter Crone, known as “The Mind Architect,” to explore the hidden patterns that keep us stuck in survival mode and what becomes possible when we begin to loosen our grip on them.

We dive into why so many of us live in a constant state of vigilance, the difference between reacting to life and truly being present with it, and how our resistance to fear, judgment, and uncertainty may be creating more suffering than the circumstances themselves. Peter also shares his vision for a new way of living — one rooted less in fear, limitation, and separation, and more in freedom, love, presence, and possibility.

And then the conversation takes an unexpected turn. I ask Peter to turn the mirror on me and reveal the patterns and blind spots he still sees operating beneath the surface. What unfolds becomes far more personal — and transformative — than I expected.

This episode is an invitation to question the stories you’ve been living from, soften the pressure to get everything “right,” and consider what life might feel like if you no longer had to prove, perfect, or protect who you are.

Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer to No Evidence of Disease: Stacy Solodkin’s Healing Story Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you feel completely healthy — only to discover that cancer has been quietly spreading throughout your body?

This episode marks the first of a new series on the HEAL with Kelly Podcast: HEALing Stories, where we’re creating more space to share real people, real healing journeys, and powerful stories of hope and resilience.

In this powerful HEALing Story, Stacy Solodkin shares her extraordinary journey from an unexpected Stage 3C ovarian cancer diagnosis to being eight years out with no evidence of disease.

Stacy opens up about the subtle symptom that sent her to the emergency room, the moment she was told cancer was “everywhere,” and why trusting her intuition and refusing to be sent home may have saved her life. She shares the importance of advocating for yourself, seeking second opinions, and finding a medical team that truly feels aligned with you.

Stacy also takes us inside the whole-person approach she embraced alongside conventional cancer treatment — from nutrition and acupuncture to meditation and other supportive therapies — and how the HEAL documentary helped expand her understanding of the role she could play in her own healing.

But Stacy’s story is about much more than cancer. Facing her mortality completely transformed the way she lives. She learned to stop waiting for “someday,” release fear and difficult emotions, receive support, and ask herself one powerful question: How will I feel about this decision on my last day?

Her story is a moving reminder to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and not wait for a diagnosis to start living the life you truly want.

How to Open Your Life to Miracles: Yeshua’s Wisdom on Surrender with Psychic Medium Carissa Schumacher Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

What if the moments when life seems to be falling apart are actually asking something deeper of us?

In this highly unique episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend, internationally recognized forensic psychic medium and spiritual teacher Carissa Schumacher, for a fascinating conversation about transformation, surrender, and the unseen forces that may be guiding us through some of life’s most challenging chapters.

Carissa shares the extraordinary story of how losing nearly everything ultimately led her down a spiritual path she never could have predicted — and eventually to a life-altering experience in which she unexpectedly began channeling the spirit of Yeshua, the true name of Jesus in the language of Aramaic. What followed was a deeply personal journey of learning to trust, integrate and share these channeled transmissions, which Carissa says are not about giving away our power to an outside authority, but about deepening our own relationship with the Divine and learning how to co-create with it.

We explore the teachings that emerged through this channeling and are now shared in her new book, The Alchemy Transmissions: A Pathway to Miracles – Yeshua's Wisdom, including why transformation often requires something old to fall away before something new can emerge.

From acceptance and surrender to the wisdom of the body, grief, our unique essence, and the power of awe and wonder, this conversation offers a beautiful perspective on navigating the uncomfortable space between who we were and who we’re becoming.

Whether you’re moving through a major transition or simply questioning what comes next, this episode may invite you to see life’s hardest chapters — and the possibility of miracles — a little differently.
