Kelly and Chip dive into the buzzy world of “trauma”—what it really means, how to tell the difference between an actual trauma response and just a bad day, and why our culture has a habit of taking meaningful words and running them into the ground. From “boundaries” and “healing journeys” to being in your “main character era,” nothing is off limits. It’s part thoughtful, part ridiculous, and fully relatable.

The word trauma is everywhere these days, but how do you know if you’re actually dealing with trauma—or just going through a rough patch? Kelly sits down with Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner Brittany Piper to break it all down, including why traditional talk therapy often isn’t enough to fully heal.

Brittany explains how trauma is stored in the body, not just the brain, and why talking about it can only take you so far. In her new book, Body-First Healing: A Revolutionary Guide to Nervous System Recovery, she shares science-backed somatic practices—that help release stored trauma and reset the nervous system.

They also dive into big questions: Do we all have trauma, or has the term become overused? Have we become an emotionally weak society, or are we just finally paying attention? And in a world that constantly keeps us in chronic stress, what can we actually do to bring our nervous systems back to balance?

These days, it feels like everything—especially politics—is designed to divide us. The outrage, the blame game, the constant fighting…it’s like throwing salt on a wound, making things worse instead of better. After Kelly's conversation with author, psychologist and executive coach, Dr. Harry Cohen, this week, Kelly and Chip ask: What if we approached things differently? If we’re all looking at the world through different lenses, how do we hold space for those differences without working against each other—and against ourselves? They explore how negativity and conflict are being used to manipulate us, why kindness and unity are often dismissed as weak or boring, and the small but powerful shifts we can make to actually create change.

Ever notice how some people naturally draw others in, while others seem to push people away? What if the key to being more magnetic, successful, and fulfilled was as simple as shifting your energy?

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Dr. Harry Cohen, Ph.D., psychologist, executive coach, and author of Be The Sun, Not The Salt. His book is a short, powerful guide on how to uplift others, embody positive energy, and ultimately become happier and more effective in every aspect of life.

They dive into the Heliotropic Effect—the science behind why people naturally gravitate toward certain individuals—and how being a Positive Energizer can transform not only your relationships but also your own sense of well-being.

Topics include:

- What makes someone a people magnet and why authenticity is the ultimate attractor.

- How to bring out your best self in a way that benefits both you and the world around you.

- Three key strategies for keeping relationships strong and positive—even when challenges arise.

If you’re interested in how small shifts in your energy can improve your relationships and overall well-being, this episode is for you.

This week, Kelly clues Chip in on her convo with root cause health expert and plant medicine practitioner Christy Nault — and things get weird in the best way. From parasite cleanses to coffee enemas (Chip’s literal nightmare?), they dive into the wildest health trends they’ve tried or refuse to try. Plus, what would your body say if it could text you? They also get real about ignoring health red flags, what they wish doctors would say, and whether they’d rather give up coffee or alcohol for a year (spoiler: not an easy choice). If you’ve ever wondered if everyone has parasites or if microdosing mushrooms is just a fancy way to vibe through Trader Joe’s, this one’s for you.

Christy Nault has helped over 15,000 people heal from chronic illness — but her journey to becoming a Root Cause Health Practitioner and Plant Medicine expert is deeply personal. After watching her brother suffer from a severe vaccine injury that ultimately took his life, and battling her own long list of chronic conditions — from endometriosis and Lyme to mold toxicity, OCD, and more — Christy made it her life’s mission to uncover why the body breaks down and how to truly heal.

In this powerful conversation, Christy shares what led her to look beyond conventional medicine, how she learned that the body is its own healer, and why true healing must address physical, emotional, and spiritual roots. We also dive into the world of microdosing — what it is (and what it’s not), how mushrooms like psilocybin are transforming emotional healing, and how her MicroFlow supplements are helping people “de-program the deep program.”

Christy breaks down her “Order of Operations” for parasite cleansing, the signs you may need to detox, and how to safely support your body’s natural healing systems. Whether you’re struggling with chronic illness, emotional trauma, or just feeling stuck, Christy’s wealth of knowledge offers hope and real solutions.

Topics we cover:

• What root cause healing really means

• How to safely cleanse parasites and why it matters

• Microdosing vs. recreational use — and who it can help

• Psilocybin for emotional healing and nervous system regulation

• Why you can heal, even when you’ve been told you can’t

Inspired by the themes of Kelly’s astrology conversation with Marv for March, this episode dives into creativity, overthinking, and breaking free from old patterns. Ever had a “brilliant” idea that, in hindsight, was totally ridiculous? Or found yourself obsessing over every tiny detail while the world just kept moving? Kelly and Chip explore the highs and lows of creative inspiration, the struggle of overanalyzing everything, and the unconventional choices that shaped their lives. From bizarre business ideas to perfectionist tendencies that went way too far, they’re keeping it real (and hilarious) about the moments they took themselves a little too seriously—and the ones where throwing logic out the window actually worked.

After Kelly’s conversation with Michelle Jungmin Bang about Korean wellness and longevity, she and Chip put themselves to the test—are they actually on track for a long, healthy life, or is a major lifestyle overhaul in order? They break down the biggest takeaways from Korean self-care, explore the rise of biohacking (ice baths, fasting, red light therapy—are they really worth it?), and take a Longevity Quiz to see how they measure up. Listeners can take the quiz along with them and find out if they’re future centenarians… or if their current habits might need some work.

Korean culture is having a major moment—from skincare to K-pop to groundbreaking longevity research. By 2030, Korea is projected to have the highest life expectancy in the world. So what’s their secret? Award-winning eco-entrepreneur and Harvard Business School grad Michelle Jungmin Bang joins me to talk about her book Sun & Ssukgat: The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness, and Longevity. We dive into ancient Korean wellness wisdom, the power of food as medicine, the concept of a longevity pantry, and self-care rituals that go far beyond skincare. From zero-waste cooking to forest bathing to the deeply rooted cultural connection known as Jeong, Michelle shares how these practices have transformed her view on aging—and how we can incorporate them into our lives.
