Kellie is putting scrambling to put together Emma Kelly’s graduation party doing as much DIY as possible while her mother recovers from surgery. But her best friend since fifth grade Tomi Jean is flying in to save Kellie’s sanity! 

After the highly successful #MondaysWithMama, Kellie and Allen are bringing back #TuesdaysTogether! The first one went great, complete with a 3-hour nap…..together! 

Allen finally tells the story he teased and forgot to tell last podcast about how we almost had a third member of this family win a vehicle. 

Kellie and Allen made it in Plano Magazine and you’ll hear all about it, with just a couple minor corrections. 

Kellie answers a question from a listener hating a mommy makeover, and Allen asks if anybody wants to join him and Bad Influence Jeff in Mexico this summer. If that’s you, email us at [email protected].

She offers a glimpse into her daily routines, the spiritual practices that ground her, and how she’s creating a loving, mindful environment for her children, one rooted not in perfection, but in presence and authenticity.

It’s the home stretch for Emma Kelly, as she celebrated her senior prom AND received a very prestigious award….which we weren’t really sure was for. But it’s still cool! 

Allen noticed something that potentially saved him from becoming a victim of fraud. He’ll share a tip that can hopefully save you from that nightmare.  

Allen has entered a tattoo contest that could win him a huge cash prize, but he may have relied a little too much on ChatGPT to help fill out the form. 

Kellie heard a huge ruckus of crows outside her house which led to a really awesome encounter with nature. 

And Operation Once in a Lifetime is a charity close to Kellie and Allen’s hearts. It grants wishes and provides support to members of the military and their families. Their upcoming Rock for the Troops fundraiser is coming up on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the Armor Brewing Company in Allen, Texas. They would love to see a lot of our podcast family come out to support. To get more information, check out Operation Once in a Lifetime’s Facebook page, and also find out how you can buy raffle tickets to win some fantastic prizes, including a RYVID QRF Motorcycle.

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?

Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?

Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.

Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.

Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom

How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing

How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling

How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity

How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality

How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology

Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.

Jay Shetty

Introducing Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How often do you work out?

What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?

In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.

Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.

They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.

The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.

How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.

How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.

Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.

If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

Jay Shetty

Kellie finally made a recipe Allen liked so much that he had her share it on the podcast! With his suggested tweaks, of course. 

The Wacky Marketing Department has listened and Kellie and Allen responded! Whatever happened to…………….that ugly hat Kellie got on a girls wine trip that Allen hated so much? The dead patch of grass that led to Allen’s BOTA match at Home Depot? Allen’s plates Kellie tried to get rid of at a Swap Party — or did she??? These questions and more will be answered. 

And in a twist, Kellie doesn’t clap back, but Allen’s 12-year-old niece Beatrice does!
