Kelly Jo On The Go

We are not just talking about basketball today, we’re using the Final 4 games from the weekend to explore a powerful life lesson: Why you should never put all your eggs in one basket!

Today I share Part 2 of My Health Crisis. I don’t have all the answers, but sometimes, the journey itself is where we find the most valuable lessons. In this episode, I talk about how we can find perspective in the midst of a health crisis and how a shift in how we view things can help us not only survive but emerge stronger.

Today I am sharing my personal story about a medical crisis that hit out of nowhere, and the path that followed—full of shock, stress, worry, and ultimately, healing. This is a journey that so many people go through, yet it’s one that we don’t always talk about openly. So, if you’re going through something similar, or have a loved one who’s struggling, this episode is for you.

Have you ever been lost and needed to stop for directions? 
We’ve all been there—seeking guidance, advice, or a roadmap for where we’re headed. But what happens when the person we turn to has never walked the path we’re on? Does their advice really help? Today, we’re going to explore why asking for directions from someone who hasn’t experienced the same journey as you can sometimes lead you astray.

This weekend was the 5 year Anniversary of the COVID -19 Shut Down. It wasn’t just a health crisis—it was a cultural reset.

When the pandemic first struck, it was a sudden shock to our systems. Lockdowns, social distancing, remote work, and uncertainty became our reality. We were forced to adapt quickly—schools switched to online learning, businesses moved to virtual spaces, and the global economy shifted in ways many of us had never imagined.

As we look back, it’s impossible to ignore the profound impact Covid had on every aspect of our lives. Yet, when we ask ourselves, “Have we really moved forward?”

This may have been the longest, hardest winter in a long time. The shift to daylight savings time is finally here. Yes, it’s that time again when we “spring ahead,” losing an hour of sleep but gaining so much more in the process. Today, we discuss how this spring ahead is a much needed sign of relief.

We all love a clean home, right? But what if the cleaning products we use to get our homes sparkling clean are actually causing harm? Whether it’s choosing a natural cleaning solution, swapping out your laundry detergent, or switching to a non-toxic body lotion, every little step counts.

There is a saying, “I am on an unpaved road, no idea where I am going or how I will get there.” Do you ever feel like some days you are on an unpaved road of life that is filled with uncertainty? If so, today’s episode is for you. We discuss how to navigate this uncertainty in our lives.

If you’re in the 50+ club, like me, you might have noticed that your perspective on birthdays has shifted. But here’s the thing—there’s something special about each new year, and it’s not just about getting older but the change that comes with each year. I believe with each new year comes more anticipation and perhaps even a change in perspective.

We, as a society has forgotten how to be bored. Today, we are talking about how we fill down time with noise and distractions. Boredom isn’t something to fear or avoid—it’s an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. On this episode, we talk about ways to use boredom to reconnect.
