2026 Changes Everything: Love, Astrology and the Year of the Horse Gallops In with Jill Jardine Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

The start of a new year isn’t just about resolutions. It’s about acceleration. In 2026, the heaviness of the last few years begins to lift. The exhaustion, the repeating patterns, and the familiar question of why we keep ending up in the same place are finally giving way to movement and possibility. Astrologically and energetically, we are entering a rare window that supports forward momentum, emotional openness, and new beginnings.

In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett is joined by astrologer and psychic healer Jill Jardine for a deep look at what the planetary shifts of 2026 mean for love, connection, creativity, and personal growth. Jill explains why this year marks the official transition into Aquarian age energy and how the collective move from heavy earth and water influences into lighter air and fire elements creates space for inspiration, innovation, and emotional renewal.

Together, Kerry and Jill explore why 2026 is a year of acceleration rather than hesitation. The Year of the Horse arrives with momentum, encouraging people to stop dragging the past into the future and instead align with what is meant for them now. This episode breaks down why January sets the tone for the entire year, why intention-setting early matters more than ever, and how grounding practices help navigate a faster, more dynamic energetic landscape.

Jill offers a detailed snapshot of the first quarter of 2026, including the powerful Aquarius activations in January, the intensity of eclipse season and retrogrades in February, and the integration and forward motion that begins to take shape in March. She explains how these shifts may impact relationships, dating, creativity, and emotional readiness, while also offering guidance on how to stay centered during periods of rapid change.

This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone who has felt stuck, cautious, or emotionally weighed down in recent years. It offers clarity on how to work with the energy of 2026 rather than resist it, and why love becomes more accessible when timing and readiness finally align. As Kerry and Jill discuss, love is not about perfect circumstances. It is about being prepared when opportunity meets intention.

Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of why 2026 represents a collective reset, how to approach love and connection with optimism instead of fear, and what it means to move forward without carrying old emotional baggage. This episode is an invitation to trust the momentum, stay grounded, and allow the year ahead to unfold with purpose.

Guest Bio:
Jill Jardine is a professional Western and Vedic astrologer with more than 35 years of experience. She holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology, is a Sanskrit mantra instructor and yoga teacher, and is the host of the internationally acclaimed podcast Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine.

Show notes

The holidays can feel like a perfect storm — emotionally, mentally, and physically. In this timely and deep conversation, Surviving the Holiday Bermuda Triangle: Dry January & the 12 Steps—Kerry Brett is joined once again by comedian, mom, and nearly nine-year-sober Laurie Hurd Ferreira for part two of their series on the 12 Steps — and why they’re not just for recovery, but for anyone craving peace, and real change.
Together, they unpack what Laurie calls the Holiday Bermuda Triangle—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s — a season that amplifies loneliness, temptation, comparison, and emotional overwhelm. With humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, Laurie explains how the 12 Steps offer a practical framework for sobriety, self-trust, and community support — especially during the holidays or as Dry January is upon us. Or in moments when willpower alone isn’t enough.
This episode isn’t about perfection or labels. It’s about transformation — the desire to change, to slow down, to stop repeating patterns, and to choose a different way forward, one day at a time.

Show notes

n today’s powerful episode, Kerry welcomes back one of Shot@Love’s most loved guests, Laurie Hurd Ferreira—comic, mother, and nearly nine years sober.

• How to rebuild confidence, self-worth, and trust in yourself
• The power of community, connection, and sharing your story
• Why doing the next right thing—however small—can change your entire life

Ana and Brian Walshe Trial: The Timeline, the Evidence, and the Red Flags with Morgan Hurley Dec 07, 2025

Show notes

Some love stories don’t end with heartbreak — they end with unanswered questions.

Ana Walshe was 39. A devoted mother of three. Brilliant, driven, and building a life between Boston and Washington, D.C. But behind closed doors, her marriage concealed a chilling imbalance of power, control, and deception.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with her daughter, Morgan Hurley — an interim court reporter who has been inside the courtroom covering the Brian and Ana Walshe murder trial. Together, they unpack what really happened, what the jury is hearing, and the warning signs that were tragically missed.

This episode is not about gossip.
It’s about truth.
It’s about red flags.
And it’s about the dangerous cost of ignoring them.

Inside This Episode:

The early warning signs that surfaced years before Ana disappeared
Brian Walshe’s long history of fraud, manipulation, and financial deception
The rise of Ana’s independence and why it became dangerous
The affair, the unraveling marriage, and December 2022’s final days
The disappearance and the disturbing timeline that followed
The chilling Google searches prosecutors call the biggest smoking gun
Surveillance footage, erratic alibis, and evidence from dumpsters across multiple towns
The eerie voicemail left for Ana’s boyfriend
The financial motive, including a $2.7 million life insurance policy
The courtroom dynamics and the challenge of proving murder without a body

Morgan also shares what it’s like to report on a case that happened in their own backyard and why this story deserves far more attention than it has received.

The Shot At Love Perspective

Ana was rising.
Her career was thriving.
Her independence was growing.

And for a narcissistic partner who depended on her financially, that became the greatest threat.

When your success threatens someone, they were never your partner — they were your prison.

This Week’s Shot At Love Dating and Relationship Takeaways:

Red Flags Are Not Decorations
If someone’s past requires detective work to understand, don’t investigate. Leave.
Charm Is Easy. Consistency Is Rare
Grand gestures without steady behavior are manipulation, not romance.
Your Body Knows Before Your Brain Does
Intuition isn’t overreacting; it’s forecasting. Don’t mute the message.

About Today’s Guest:

Morgan Hurley is an interim court reporter covering the Brian Walshe trial firsthand. In this episode, she brings clarity, credibility, and a journalist’s lens to a case filled with unanswered questions and troubling patterns.

Why We Chase the Wrong Relationships (And How to Finally Break the Cycle) with Ben Currier Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

Why We Chase the Wrong Relationships (And How to Finally Break the Cycle)

What happens when love becomes the thing that breaks you… instead of builds you?

In this raw and powerful episode of Shot At Love, I sit down with Ben Currier—host of the top-ranked podcast Failure Guy—to unpack a story that starts with one impulsive decision… and spirals into complete collapse.

At the height of his career, Ben moved across the country for a woman he barely knew. Within weeks, he lost everything—his stability, his belongings, his sense of self.

But this isn’t just a story about losing it all.
It’s about why we ignore red flags, chase intensity over intimacy, and stay in situations that slowly break us.

Together, we unpack the deeper patterns behind modern dating—emotional addiction, trauma bonding, and the dangerous pull of relationships that feel like passion… but are really chaos.

If you’ve ever: Thought a relationship would save you
Stayed longer than you should have
Confused emotional highs with real connection
Or rushed into something just to avoid being alone

This episode will hit home.

Because what Ben ultimately discovered is this:
Rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of rebuilding your life the right way.

This conversation is about resilience, self-worth, and what it actually takes to break the cycles that keep you stuck—and finally create a healthy, grounded relationship.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns in love… this episode is for you.

Manifesting Love: What’s Meant for Me Will Find Me–Lizzie More Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

In today’s episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with manifest mentor Lizzie Moore for an honest, energetic, and unexpectedly hilarious conversation about manifesting love, trusting the universe, and the mantra that changed everything: I only want what’s for me.

Lizzie shares how she transformed her life through visualization, neuroscience-based mindset shifts, and vision boards that quite literally manifested a new home, a new lifestyle, and a new chapter on the South Shore. She breaks down how the Reticular Activating System filters our thoughts, why emotions carry vibrational frequency, and how shifting your energy can change what—and who—you attract.

This episode covers:
• Why “I only want what’s for me” is the ultimate dating mantra
• How gaslighting, rejection, and heartbreak feel different when you trust alignment
• The role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in manifesting love
• How to rewire your brain and create new neural pathways
• Vision boards, visualization, and the power of accountability groups
• How emotions vibrate at different frequencies and influence attraction
• Lizzie’s incredible chicken-coop meet-cute and cross-country connection
• The difference between clinging and surrendering
• How Lizzie manifested a home identical to her vision board
• Moving two teenagers, rebuilding a life, and finding joy again
• How to know when a relationship is aligned—or when it’s simply not your person
• Letting go, gratitude, and the courage to trust the universe’s plan
• Why timelines choke manifestation and how to release them
• How to call your energy back and stop living in the in-between
• What Lizzie teaches clients about love, alignment, and emotional frequency

If you need hope, humor, and a reminder that the universe delivers what’s meant for you—sometimes in the form of a man building a chicken coop resulting in a little luck and a lot of lumber—this episode is for you.

Your Last First Date: Author & Hollywood Matchmaker Jaydi Samuels Kuba Nov 23, 2025

Show notes

Your Last First Date: Author & Hollywood Matchmaker Jaydi Samuels Kuba

This week’s episode of Shot At Love pulls back the curtain on Hollywood’s most fascinating matchmaking secrets with Jaydi Samuels Kuba. Inspired by her soon-to-be-released book Your Last First Date, Jaydi shares the patterns, mindsets, blind spots, and tiny shifts that help singles finally find their own Hollywood ending.

Jaydi began her career as a television writer with credits ranging from Family Guy to Salem. But after watching talented, successful women in the entertainment industry struggle to form meaningful relationships, she built a couples-curation service that grew into LJ Matchmaking. Today she is a certified dating and relationship coach, a co-host of the podcast Match Made in Hollywood, and one of the industry’s most respected matchmakers.

Kerry and Jaydi explore the truth behind finding love in Hollywood or anywhere else: why people stay stuck, how they repeat emotional patterns, and what finally creates lasting change. Jaydi opens up about the early days of her company, the unlikely way she met her husband while setting him up with other women, and the inner shifts that helped her leave a long-term relationship that no longer aligned with her life.

Together, they break down why matchmaking matters, why being “findable” is non-negotiable, and how small mindset adjustments can make all the difference. Jaydi shares how she vets clients, screens for compatibility, and guides people toward clarity before chemistry. She explains why great daters still end up in the wrong relationships, how date coaching transforms confidence, and why trusting your own intuition is ultimately your most powerful tool.

Jaydi also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at writing Your Last First Date: how her Hollywood storytelling background shaped the narrative, why she chose to teach through character journeys and real client case studies, and what she hopes readers will take away after they close the final page.

If you’ve ever wondered how matchmaking really works, what goes on behind the scenes, or how to stop repeating the same dating patterns, this conversation will shift the way you see yourself, your choices, and your path to love.

Show notes

This week’s episode of Shot At Love centers on the powerful story and mission of Deborah Griffiths, founder of Bent Not Broken, a platform dedicated to resilience, recovery, and reclaiming personal strength after adversity. Instead of talking about my journey, we shift the focus to Deborah’s—her path, her purpose, and the incredible movement she’s built.

In our conversation, Deborah opens up about the moment her life changed, the challenges that tested her spirit, and the transformative mindset that allowed her not only to survive but to build a community for others who are navigating their own storms. Bent Not Broken offers tools, hope, and a safe landing place for anyone rebuilding their life piece by piece—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

Deborah shares: • The origin story behind Bent Not Broken
• What resilience really looks like when no one is watching
• The healing practices that helped her rebuild
• How to choose strength—even when it feels impossible
• Why community is essential for recovery and growth
• The message she wants every listener facing hardship to hear

This episode is a testament to turning pain into purpose, and Deborah’s energy is a reminder that healing is not linear—but it is possible. If you’ve ever struggled, felt alone, or needed a voice reminding you that you can rise again, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
