Do you feel like you've lost touch with yourself somewhere in the noise of modern life? Like you're doing all the things… but still feeling disconnected, drained, or out of rhythm with who you truly are?

This conversation with Michael Trainer felt like medicine for my soul.

Michael is the co-creator of the Global Citizen Festival, host of the Peak Mind podcast, and author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and in this episode, we explore what it really means to live in resonance with yourself, your relationships, your purpose, and the deeper "song" that wants to be expressed through your life.

We talk about the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection… why some people energize us while others leave us depleted… and how our nervous systems are constantly being shaped by the environments, media, and relationships around us. Michael shares beautiful insights from Resonance on grief, heartbreak, healing, authenticity, creativity, and why pain itself can become the compost for a more meaningful life.

We also dive into the power of music as a metaphor for life, the importance of finding your "root" relationships, the healing power of community, and why true wealth may actually be the quality of experiences we share with the people we love.

This episode reminded me that healing isn't just about fixing ourselves — it's about coming back into tune. Back into connection. Back into the rhythm of who we really are.

Is the life you’re experiencing right now something you’ve been unconsciously creating — or are you creating from a place of purpose and intention? 

Most of you know manifestation is one of my favorite topics to discuss! In this episode, I sit down with Papi DiNuzzo — wealth manager, manifestation coach, and author of Manifest Anything You Can Imagine — for a spontaneous, high-frequency conversation about what it really means to consciously create your life. We go beyond surface-level “law of attraction” ideas and into how your thoughts, emotions, and subconscious patterns may be shaping your reality in ways you may not even realize.

We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in repeating patterns, how negative self-talk can influence what we attract, and why the first moments of your morning can be so important. Papi shares his perspective on the subconscious mind, energy, and why manifestation is not a quick fix but something you live and practice daily.

We also explore gratitude, belief, and emotional alignment, along with how focusing on the past or worrying about the future can pull you out of the present moment where real change happens. We talk about the importance of getting clear on what you truly want and what it takes to begin creating from that place. 

This conversation opens up a deeper look at purpose — why we’re here, what we’re here to create, and how much power we may actually have to shape our lives.

I didn’t know too much about the impressive Johanna Hellrigl before this conversation — a friend suggested I interview her and I intuitively said yes on the spot. And I’m so glad I did!

Johanna is the chef and founder behind Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and a board member of the Environmental Working Group who is revolutionizing what it means to nourish people — from the way she sources whole ingredients to how she cares for her team to the deeper intention behind every decision she makes. She is building a model of hospitality where indulgence, vitality, sustainability, and community coexist — proving restaurants can drive cultural and systemic change. This woman is doing the work, and you can feel it.

Johanna’s personal story also really moved me. As a chef, entrepreneur and mother, Johanna shares parts of her life that shaped the way she sees health, intuition, and what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing. It’s a powerful reminder of how much we’re capable of when we start to question, listen, and trust ourselves more deeply.

Many of us are aware of how to avoid toxins in and around our food at home, but I’ll admit eating out was more of a blind spot for me. We get into the hidden plastic crisis lurking in restaurant kitchens, the truth about what's really in your pasta and why it hits so differently in Europe, the seed oil conversation with actual nuance, food waste, and so. much. more. Johanna shares practical swaps you can make today in your own kitchen to reduce your toxic load — no overwhelm, just empowered steps forward.

We really covered it all! I left this conversation feeling inspired, grounded, and confident that our bodies are incredibly intelligent — and when we start to listen, everything begins to shift.

What if the story you’ve been told about your diagnosis… isn’t the only one available to you?

In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Mark Ruegg, a Stage IV pancreatic cancer thriver whose awe-inspiring journey reinforced what I know is possible when it comes to healing. I first heard about Mark after two different people told me I had to hear his story — and after listening for myself, I had to have him on the podcast. Incredibly, he credits the HEAL Documentary for inspiring a sense of hope and possibility after his diagnosis. It brings me so much JOY to know the film continues to inspire this community to take your healing and transformation into your own hands!

After being told his cancer was inoperable and incurable, Mark found himself standing between two very different worlds—one rooted in fear, prognosis, and limitation… and another rooted in possibility, belief, and the body’s capacity to heal. What he chose changed everything. 

We talk about the moment he came across the HEAL Documentary — and how that experience, along with others who had walked this path before him, helped him borrow belief when he didn’t yet have it on his own.

This conversation explores the deeper layers of healing that often go unspoken — how fear can live beneath the surface even when life looks “good”… why belief may be the foundation everything else rests on… and how learning to get quiet, listen inward, and regulate the nervous system can open the door to guidance you didn’t know was available.

Mark shares the shifts he made across every area of his life — from the way he moved his body, to how he nourished it, to the way he thought, felt, and related to his diagnosis. We explore the power of community, environment, and emotional energy — and why healing isn’t just physical, but deeply mental, emotional, and spiritual.

This conversation isn’t about denying reality — it’s about expanding it. It’s about what can happen when you stop outsourcing your power… and start actively participating in your healing.

If you or someone you love is navigating a diagnosis — or simply searching for a new way to approach health, resilience, and life — this episode will open your mind to what might be possible.

Do you ever feel there might be more to your story than what’s happened in just this lifetime?

In this perspective-shifting episode, we go beyond the ordinary and delve into the topic of past lives —  as a powerful lens for understanding the fears, patterns, gifts, and deeper themes that may be shaping our lives. 

I sat down with past-life psychic and spiritual teacher Ainslie MacLeod, author of The Instruction and The Old Soul’s Guidebook, for a thought-provoking conversation about the deeper story of our souls, and where our fears, gifts, and purpose may truly come from. 

Ainslie shares how he works with his spirit guides, what actually happens during a past-life reading, and how we can begin to trust our own intuition on a deeper level. He even does a live reading on one of my own past lives — revealing patterns that felt incredibly accurate and, honestly, shocking — even for me! Whether you interpret these patterns literally, symbolically, or simply as a doorway into self-reflection, the real invitation is to ask: does this help you understand yourself more deeply and let go of what no longer serves you? 

We dive into Ainslie's perspective on soul age and soul types, and how our soul’s journey across lifetimes may be shaping our relationships, our fears, our sensitivity, and our drive to make a difference. Ainslie explains how past-life experiences can show up as self-worth struggles, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional triggers — and how simply bringing awareness to these patterns can create profound shifts. 

This episode is a powerful reminder that we may not be starting from scratch… and that your soul may be guiding you toward something far greater than you realize. My goal was to hold this conversation with curiosity and openness, not to convince you of anything, but to explore what becomes possible when we look at our lives through a new lens. If you’ve ever felt different, deeply sensitive, or called to something more — this conversation is for you.

What if all the mistakes you've made, the shame you’ve carried and the terrible way you have treated yourself, are all part of the journey back to who you truly are. My ex-husband always used to say, "Sometimes we have to go to the wrong place to get to the right place” and he was right. And no, the irony is not lost on me ;) 

The newest episode of Heal with Kelly is near and dear to my heart because I sit down with my beautiful friend Jamie Lynn Sigler — beloved for her role as Meadow Soprano in HBO’s The Soprano’s.  We dive into her powerful new book out this week called  And So It Is... A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope. Jamie is incredibly brave and raw in her writing.  She shares with radical honesty and humility and her story rocked me to my core while lighting me up with hope and compassion. 

Jamie has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (and Lyme) for 25 years. For most of that time, she hid it — from directors, from co-stars, from the world. Before her diagnosis, she hid an eating disorder and a suffocating shame that wasn’t even hers.  She shares what those years of silence cost her, and how finally telling the truth, the most courageous act one can do, actually set her free. 

I cried so many times reading Jamie’s new book. I saw myself in so much of her story and her journey is truly gripping, heartbreaking, and full of miracles. I could not recommend this book more.  

In this episode we go deep on the inner voice that intends to protect us but turns out to be far more harmful than any external enemy. We discuss the way shame cripples our sense of worth and what it actually looks like to stop performing and start living. Jamie opens up about her son Beau's near-death experience — and the message he brought back that became her lighthouse. She shares the moment she fell to her knees in a hospital hallway and felt, for the first time, that she was not alone. And she talks about what it means to finally walk into a room and say: this is how I move. This is who I am.

This conversation is about surrender and breakthrough, plant medicine and prayer, generational healing and the stories we carry in our bodies. It's a reminder that healing is never about fixing what’s broken — it's about remembering who you are beneath everything you've been told to hide.

What if the reason you still don’t feel your best… has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what’s happening deep inside your body?

In this episode, I sit down with Jess Kane Berman of BodyBio, a family-founded company originally created by her grandfather and rooted in cellular health and science-backed solutions and this conversation completely reframed how I think about healing - from the cellular level to the emotional level.

We talk about what’s really driving symptoms so many of us are experiencing right now - hormonal shifts, fatigue, brain fog, gut issues and why the answers might not be where you’ve been looking. Jess shares her personal journey through health struggles, how she navigated a diagnosis that left her feeling overwhelmed, and what ultimately helped her take her power back - guided in part by the foundational principles her grandfather pioneered and that still shape BodyBio’s approach today.

We dive into the connection between stress, trauma, and the body - how what we carry emotionally can shape how we feel physically, and why slowing down is often where true healing begins. We also explore what it looks like to care for your body in today’s world - reducing toxic load, making intentional choices without fear, and nourishing yourself at a level that supports deep, cellular health.

This is one of those episodes that invites you to zoom out, reconnect with your body, and rethink what it really means to heal.

Have you ever felt like you should be more healed, more clear, more certain… and yet you’re not? If you’ve been overthinking, holding on, or trying to force your way into peace… this conversation will bring you back to the wisdom of your heart.  And give you a big ol' dose of counter intuitive power moves. 

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Danielle LaPorte to explore what it really means to live from the heart, not as a concept, but as a daily, embodied practice. This conversation challenged me in the best way, especially around how we relate to our emotions, our patterns, and even the parts of ourselves we try to push away.

Danielle LaPorte is a heart-centered leader, author, and philanthropist whose work bridges emotional intelligence, spirituality, and practical devotion. She is the author of multiple bestselling books, and she joins me to share insights from her latest "sure to be bestseller", Bless & Release.

We unpack a powerful reframe on healing, one that isn’t about fixing yourself, but about learning how to work with your energy and meet your emotions with compassion and presence. We talk about acceptance and why it doesn’t mean condoning, how resistance keeps you stuck, and what begins to shift when you stop fighting reality.

We also dive into joy, trust, confusion, the pressure to know what’s next, and how softening into uncertainty can crack open a different kind of clarity.

What if the reason so many people struggle with chronic illness has less to do with the diagnosis and more to do with the health of their cells?

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with physician, bestselling author, and Founder of Vital Plan, Dr. Bill Rawls, to explore the deeper drivers of chronic illness and how to heal the real root – the cell. 

After developing chronic Lyme disease in his 40s and experiencing his vitality disintegrate, Dr. Rawls began questioning the conventional approach to chronic illness. His search for answers led him beyond the traditional medical model and into the world of cellular health, herbal medicine, and lifestyle factors that influence the body’s ability to heal.

Dr. Rawls explains the role of cellular stress in chronic disease, why herbs and adaptogens may work differently but as (or more!) potently than pharmaceuticals, how lifestyle shifts can restore balance in the body, and why healing often begins by addressing the environment we live in and the habits we practice every day.

This hope-inducing episode offers a new way of thinking about chronic illness, not as a failing body, but as a signal that our cells need support. If you’ve ever wondered why symptoms persist or why diagnoses can feel incomplete, this may shift how you think about healing.
