In this short, potent solo episode, Dr. Kelli unpacks one of the biggest misunderstandings in the anxiety recovery world:

you don’t heal by finding “the root.”

You heal by building the container that allows your emotional truth to rise and release.

If you’ve been doing all the things — breathwork, mediation, supplements, yoga, light exposure, therapy — and still feel anxious, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Inside, Dr. Kelli breaks down:

• ​why anxiety lingers even when your habits are on point
• ​what “container” actually means in trauma-informed + quantum health terms
• ​how emotional material hides in plain sight (and why it often seems too “small” to matter)
• ​why healing isn’t a mental excavation — it’s a felt experience
• ​how numbing and addiction (even subtle forms) block emotional release
• ​the tools that support emotional processing only when safety is present

This episode reframes healing in the most compassionate, liberating way:

you don’t have to dig for the root.

You simply need the container, and your nervous system will do the rest.

Dr. Kelli closes with:

“The light in me sees and honors the light in you.”

…a beautiful doorway into next week’s conversation.

If you’ve ever felt your heart race before a trip—or found yourself tense and wired even after the plane lands—you’re not crazy, and you’re not broken. Your travel anxiety isn’t just “in your head”… it’s in your cells.

In this solo episode, Dr. Kelli unpacks the real, biological roots of travel anxiety through the lens of quantum mental health—from disrupted circadian rhythms and dehydration to mitochondrial stress and sensory overload. You’ll learn how to support your body’s electrical system so your mind can actually rest.

Because freedom shouldn’t feel like fear. When your cells feel safe, you feel safe. 🌍

Counting calories and chasing macros might make sense for body composition but when it comes to mental health, that approach can fall short.

In this solo episode, Dr. Kelli breaks down why nutrition for your brain and nervous system is far more nuanced than any one-size-fits-all plan.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why calorie counting can disrupt your body’s sense of safety and intuition

✨ The real role of protein, fat, and carbs in supporting mood and neurotransmitters

✨ Why animal-based amino acids are superior building blocks for mental clarity and calm

✨ How dietary fats protect your brain, hormones, and nervous system

✨ What makes “mental-health macros” different from “weight-loss macros”

This is nourishment that honors biology, not diet culture ~ because your brain deserves better fuel than numbers on a label.

What really happens when you stop drinking ~ not just to your body, but to your confidence, relationships, and mental health?

In this raw and radiant conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and award-winning beauty editor Donna Francis to talk about her year of no alcohol - and how that decision changed everything.

Together we explore:

✨ How giving up alcohol improved Donna’s energy, skin, sleep, and self-esteem

✨ The reality of “hangxiety” and why her nervous system finally feels calm

✨ The emotional stretch of facing life’s stressors (like last year’s hurricane) without numbing

✨ What happens to friendships and social circles when you choose sobriety

✨ The deeper peace ~ and pride ~ that come from living fully awake

As two women who’ve both experienced life on the other side of alcohol (I’m nine years alcohol-free), this episode is an honest, uplifting look at what it means to come home to yourself - without the crutch of a drink.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, or you’re craving more energy, clarity, and confidence, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and deeply empowered.

What if your family’s wellbeing could be shaped not just by what you do, but by the rhythms you live in?

In this heart-opening conversation, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Oksana Hansen to explore how quantum health principles extend far beyond the individual and into the fabric of family life. Together, we discuss:

✨ Circadian rhythms as a foundation for homeschooling ~ how light, routine, and alignment with nature create stability and focus for children.

✨ Coherence in daily life ~  why regulating our own nervous systems matters for emotional healing and for the energy field our families live in.

✨ Reconnecting with nature ~ simple but profound practices that nurture resilience, calm, and whole-body healing.

Oksana also shares about her Return to Nature retreat, where emotional healing and quantum practices meet in community.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered how to bring nervous system safety, coherence, and natural rhythms into your home so that healing becomes a family culture ~ not just a solo journey.

What does it really feel like to age inside a quantum health lifestyle? In this refreshingly honest conversation, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Kelly Bento, founder of Soleil-Well and expert in red light therapy, to talk about the real journey of midlife, menopause, and mitochondrial health.

We hold nothing back as we share both the frustrations (because yes, sometimes it sucks!) and the deep gratitude of moving through this stage of life with quantum awareness. From hormonal shifts to the power of light, from the vulnerability of changing bodies to the privilege of living in alignment with nature—we cover it all.

We also touch on red light therapy and why it’s a tool both Kelly and I rely on daily—but don’t worry, we’ve got a whole second episode coming soon in my Red Light Therapy Series dedicated to diving deeper into that!

✨ Whether you’re in menopause, perimenopause, or simply curious about aging well, this conversation is a dose of honesty, humor, and hope.

Listen in to learn:

• ​Why mitochondria are central to how we age (and how resilient we feel)
• ​How quantum health practices can soften the menopause transition
• ​The paradox of midlife: grief, gratitude, and growth all at once
• ​Why community and light-based healing matter more than ever right now

Kelly is living proof that aging doesn’t have to mean decline—it can mean deeper wisdom, embodiment, and vitality when we partner with light.
