Kelly welcomes back Master Astrologer and coach, Marvin Wilkerson, to discuss the breakdowns of the energy in place from the Leo New Moon to Pisces Full Moon and onto the Virgo New Moon. There are many retrogrades all happening and ending in September. Marv gives listeners an overview of the lessons they may be feeling and gives the route to healing. Masculine/feminine energy is also discussed. 
"The Virgo New Moon is the time we will stand firmly behind what we say. We will begin to project an honest self-image with unchanging values."

Kelly and Chip welcome award winning porn director, Jacky St. James to the podcast to discuss her life working in the adult entertainment industry. Jacky is known for her feminist approach to porn and describes how the process of writing and directing a porn film has many similarities to other kinds of film shoots. She also tells the story of fearlessly abandoning the life she once sought as an actress and taking the risk to jump into porn. Jacky is also currently getting her master's degree in Family and Marriage Psychology which leads the conversation to dissect much about the connection of psychology to human sexuality and why she sees this everyday in her line of work. They also discuss the fear around discussing porn, yet the fact that the billion dollar industry doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. 
Whether you agree with porn or not, knowledge is power. Kelly discusses why understanding the porn industry is helping her let go of (abandon) some of her preconceived notions and fears about the industry in general.

Kelly talks to life coach, hypnotherapist and programming director of Sage and Sound in NYC, Ryan Haddon about finding gratitude, why relationships are here to heal us and how overcoming addiction was the “window of grace” she needed. Ryan tells her story of coming back from years of alcohol abuse, codependent and love addiction in relationships and a very public divorce why those things were actually the things that saved her life. Ryan and Kelly discuss the mirrors that all relationships bring and how our subconscious mind controls 95% of our thoughts. Ryan gives tools on how to connect with that subconscious mindset and reframe old programming to make different choices in life and relationships.

Kelly welcomes an old friend & holistic chef, Laura Lea Bryant to the podcast to talk about her new book and business. Laura Lea is a well known holistic chef with two previous cookbooks and former website LLBalanced. After going through a divorce and multiple rough breakups after the divorce, Laura Lea channelled her love for holistic food into a new approach to holistic healing overall. She talks to Kelly about the moment she realized she wasn't living an authentic life and how she knew she needed to take her knowledge from holistic eating and apply it to healing her broken heart. Laura Lea's new book 'Recipes for an Aching Heart' and subsequent coaching program, help clients navigate their grief in a deeper way that offers true healing from the root and also celebrates the food and nourishment our body needs to get through that process. 
"I really just realized that I knew who I was in business and as a chef, but when it came to relationships, I had absolutely no idea who I was or what I wanted."
