HEAL with Kelly

• Beyond the Myths: The True Teachings of Tantra with Chandresh Bhardwaj

  Did you think Tantra was just about ecstatic sex and ritual like I did? It’s actually an ancient wisdom tradition of self-awareness, embodiment, and liberation — and in this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with seventh-generation Tantra teacher, author of Break the Norms, and host of The Leela Show, Chandresh Bhardwaj, to explore the deeper truth of this sacred technology. CB is one of my favorite creators/teachers/poets on Instagram, and I just had to have him on the pod to learn more about his history and wisdom. Together, we unravel the myth of “linear healing” and look at why true transformation isn’t about fixing yourself but remembering your innate wholeness. As part of that wholeness, we break down the rooted masculine and the wild feminine and why embodiment — not just mantra — creates lasting change. Chandresh beautifully articulates breaking free from fear-based teachings, trusting the unknown, and letting go of cultural and social scripts so you can live from your authentic self. We also break down the raw, unfiltered truth about Tantra’s goddesses and their power and gifts. This is not just a conversation about sex as a portal for awakening (in fact, we barely touch on it!), but rather a conversation about love as liberation, embracing your enoughness, and daring to play in life’s unfolding with curiosity, courage, and heart.

• Stop Settling: How to Create the Love and Life You Deserve with Case Kenny

  If you’ve ever wanted a breakthrough in love or life, this conversation is your invitation to explore the gap between where you are and where you want to be — and start creating the beliefs, boundaries, and connections that will close it.  In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with The Opposite of Settling author, creator, and mindfulness expert Case Kenny — best known for his viral red handwritten quotes on Instagram — to talk about how the language we use, the trust we extend, and the clarity we command can transform our relationships and our lives. We dive into why “settling down” might be the worst sales pitch for love, the hidden cost of breadcrumbing, and the power of high-maintenance love rooted in reciprocity. Case shares how he turns prompts into powerful self-realizations, why leading with energy instead of matching it gives you clarity faster, and how visualizing your future like it’s already a memory can rewire your mindset. We also discuss making trust your default, using regret as a compass, and the simple but life-changing art of listening to yourself — then speaking to yourself with intention.  This episode is packed with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and heart-opening AHA’s to help you stop settling and start living from your fullest, truest self.

• The Lies Depression Tells Us with Betsy Stephenson

  What does it take to keep living—and loving—after the unimaginable?   This is a conversation about loss—but even more, it’s about love, resilience, and the courage to keep saying yes to life.   In this powerful episode, I sit down with Betsy Thibaut Stephenson—a seasoned crisis communications expert, mother of three, and author of the memoir,  Blackbird: A Mother's Reflections on Grief, Loss, and Life After. In 2022, Betsy’s world was shattered by a six-week wave of devastating loss, including the death of her 21-year-old son, Charlie, to suicide. What followed wasn’t a quest to “move on,” but a conscious decision to live honestly, feel everything, and find meaning in the aftermath.   We talk about the lie’s depression tells, the complexity of navigating family grief, and the deeply personal stories we craft in order to survive. Betsy shares what it means to relearn how to feel, to hold space for discomfort, and to open up to healing—one small “yes” at a time.   We also explore how spiritual growth, self-compassion, and even anxiety can become part of the long, often nonlinear path to peace.   Disclaimer: This episode contains sensitive discussion around suicide, grief, and mental health. Please listen with care. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.   LINKS Betsy Stephenson website: https://www.blackbirdbetsy.com/ Betsy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackbirdbetsy21/ Blackbird: A Mother's Reflections on Grief, Loss, and Life After Suicide book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4fdG4Vt SPONSORS: THERASAGE: Go to ⁠https://www.therasage.com⁠ and use code KELLY to receive 25% off any Therasage product.

• Sage Robbins on Finding Freedom in the Human Experience

  If you’ve ever felt like you can’t keep doing it the same way—or longed for the courage to meet life as it is—this episode is a breath of truth. A reminder that within you, there is an unstoppable force of love, grace, and presence… and it’s more than enough.   In this heart-opening episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit with my dear friend Sage Robbins—world-renowned speaker, mentor, philanthropist, and heart-centered guide—for a deeply personal and soul-stirring conversation on what it means to live fully, love deeply, and embrace the beautiful mess of being human. Sage embodies the intersection of grace and power and brings a rare blend of humility, authenticity, and humor from a life committed to personal growth and spiritual alignment.   Together, we explore the secret to lasting love, the fact that all relationships are mirrors, and the sacred responsibility of parenting with vulnerability. Sage opens up about learning to welcome pain as a teacher, practicing forgiveness through rituals like Ho’oponopono, and discovering that even fear has its place in a spiritually aligned life. She reminds us that we are not broken—we are becoming. And that the deeper we lean into our humanness, the closer we get to wholeness.   Join Sage Robbins at the She’s Unstoppable Summit — a powerful three-day virtual experience happening August 20–22. This free global event brings together like-hearted women from around the world to reconnect with their authentic power, rise above what no longer serves, and remember who they truly are.   Register now at ShesUnstoppableSummit.com — it’s completely free and open to all.

• From Whole Foods to Love Life: John Mackey’s Vision for Conscious Business and Healing

  What if your life is a dream, and you’re the one creating it? Whether you’re building a business, healing your body, or simply trying to live with more love, this conversation is packed with timeless wisdom, hard-won insight, and soul.   In this expansive and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Whole Foods Market Co-Founder and Conscious Capitalism pioneer John Mackey, who shares his next bold chapter: a transformational new venture called Love.Life. A 45,000-square-foot wellness center designed to help people become the healthiest version of themselves. And it happens to be 8 minutes from my new home! Am I a powerful manifestor or what!? :)   Love.Life is designed to be a one-stop destination for holistic healing, integrating food, fitness, functional medicine, and leading-edge recovery modalities. John shares powerful insights on forgiveness, self-responsibility, and how tuning into your inner guidance system can shift your entire reality.   From business to spirituality, leadership to relationships, John opens up about the values that shaped his journey and the inner practices that keep him aligned. He reflects on decades of experience as a mission-driven entrepreneur, the spiritual insights, and the deep importance of building a life (and a business) fueled by love.   Together, we explore how to build a culture rooted in purpose and integrity, what most CEOs get wrong about leadership, and why happiness is the compass that can guide us toward our true path.
