    175: How to Deal With A Narcissist In Your Family

Drop a "my blast" comment sharing something you're excited about, proud of, or loving about yourself, for a chance to win a free Beauty Backroom Peptide Perfecting Complex Face Serum or Moisturizer, gifted weekly! Is it possible to have a relationship with a narcissist? That question kicks off this episode, and the answer sits far outside the usual "set boundaries and move on" advice. Boundaries aren't a personality trait. They're a container. Sometimes they mean blocking a number. Sometimes they mean a full blackout from your family of origin so you can step out of the trauma field long enough to hear yourself. The relationship with your mother matters more than almost any other work you'll do. She's the anima imprint you project onto every woman, every doctor, every system of care. Resentment toward her chokes off creativity, vitality, and erotic energy in ways most women never trace back to the source. Family constellation work changed my life on this exact issue, and I explain why I recommend it before any deeper trauma modality. Compassion, neutrality, and even harmony are on the table. None of it requires her to become the mother she couldn't be. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [2:10] Having a real relationship with a textbook narcissist while still keeping boundaries [4:07] Why your mother owes you nothing, and how loosening that expectation frees you [6:07] Family constellation is the low-hanging fruit with no downside 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    174: They've Brainwashed You to Think Psych Meds Are Good, But They Make You Worse

    Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here. Psychiatric medications only make you worse. A Yale study found that 1 in 23 people prescribed an antidepressant go on to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the field calls that "unmasking" rather than causation. I trained as one of the first 300 reproductive psychiatrists in the world, and I stopped writing prescriptions in 2010 after research on long-term outcomes reframed everything I'd been taught about efficacy and safety. The recent Lindsay Clancy case pulled me back into activist territory after years of stepping away from it. This episode is my attempt to say what I thought I'd already said loudly enough. There's literature on treatment-emergent violence to self and others that most prescribers have never read. There's a phenomenon called tardive dysphoria. There's David Healy's work on stable volunteers becoming acutely suicidal after exposure to psychotropics. If you've ever considered a psychiatric medication to get through a hard chapter, or if you love someone who has, this is the fuller picture I wish more people had access to before the prescription pad comes out.

    173: The Dark Side of the "Community Culture" Nobody Talks About

    Access Kelly's Turn On Training here.  Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training here. Everyone tells you that you need to be in a community, but what if that was one of the most dangerous things you could do? This is a solo episode, and I am walking through the arc of my own relationship to community, from Francis Weller's work on the village we never had, to the small circle of Waldorf mamas in Miami, to the plandemic years when intentional community felt like a lifeline. A lot of what I chased did not hold. Friend groups fractured over values. The sovereign communities collapsed under interpersonal conflict. Even the online spaces started to feel like surrogate families carrying weight they were never designed to carry. The tension I keep returning to is this: Community asks for a fixed set of shared beliefs. I am someone who evolves, changes my mind, and drops ideologies when they stop resonating for me. Those two things do not fit cleanly together. I also share what my friend Alyssa is doing that seems to be working, and why the ache I felt listening to her did not translate into wanting her life. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [2:23] The community wound and why Francis Weller says it haunts us all [5:00] How I detonated a bomb in my holistic mom group over values [8:49] Why conscious communities keep collapsing under their own projections [11:03] The one friend whose thriving community makes me ache with longing [12:58] The part of me that has zero interest in community at all [18:33] Ideology-based communities become cults you can be punished for leaving [21:37] An HOA with nothing in common is somehow even weirder [23:16] Recurring revenue and digital membership sell community as a false cure [26:37] The ideological prison distorting how women approach beauty and surgery [30:33] Tom Cowan on why shared ideology fails without a shared project Resources Mentioned: Own Your Self by Kelly Brogan, MD | Book or AudiobookThe Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller | Book or Audiobook 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    172: Elisabeth McKay: Conventional Mental Health is Fixing The Wrong Thing

    Access Kelly's Turn On Training here.  Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training, 8/12 at 12PM ET here. Elisabeth "Bizzie" McKay built a behavior prediction technology that’s 98.3% accurate, and it exposes why most mental health diagnoses are pattern recognition wearing a lab coat. Elisabeth is a tech founder, behavior futurist, and the creator of Brain Pattern Mapping and Break Method, a rewiring system built on 12 years of data across thousands of clients, prison populations, and residential programs. I did her PredictiveMind™ session before we recorded, and one specific finding cracked open something I'd been circling for years: why I can be fully assertive in one dynamic and completely fawning in another. It comes down to perceived power, and until the Elisabeth named it, I couldn't see it. Elisabeth describes her five brain pattern types, the separation of abandonment from rejection wounds, and why narrative talk therapy misses the actual root cause of behavior. She also explains why borderline and narcissism can shift, despite what the establishment claims. If you've been sorting yourself with Instagram carousels and attachment labels, this conversation will make that framework feel very small. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [5:01] From mental health to celebrity trainer and back again [9:02] The mother with borderline personality disorder behind her mission [20:59] Psychiatric diagnosis is pattern recognition dressed up as science [37:51] The five brain pattern types, and why we shift between them [45:55] Abandonment and rejection wounds are not the same, mental health conflates them [58:52] The cowboy pattern, and how childhood repetition predicts who you become [1:05:03] 100 years of the mental health establishment may be a farce [1:08:53] Can borderlines and narcissists actually heal, or just manage?

    171: Why Most Pet Owners Are Accidentally Making Their Animals Sick | Ditte Young

    Access Kelly's Turn On Training here.  Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training, 8/12 at 12PM ET here. Pet owners might be the cause of their pet’s sickness. Ditte Young is a clairvoyant, an internationally renowned telepath featured on The Telepathy Tapes, a TEDx speaker, and a bestselling author whose work bridges animal communication, parenting, and intuitive development. My karmic cat Mushu has triggered more inner work than almost anything else in my adult life, so this conversation went somewhere personal fast. Ditte explains how animals experience pain, why none of the dying animals she has sat with were afraid, and what's really happening when your pet seems to be mirroring your emotional state. She also addresses the question I think many animal lovers privately wrestle with: how do you eat meat while loving animals as soulful beings? Her answer surprised me. So did her perspective on why punishment fails with every species, and why one simple sentence spoken to your pet before you leave the house actually lands. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [6:16] How Ditte discovered she could hear animals as a sensitive child [10:56] Why animals mirror our nervous systems and become more than just a pet [13:54] Exploring whether some animals spiritually contract to carry our unconscious conflicts [15:48] Why an animal's illness might reflect the human's unaddressed issues [18:30] Elephants and dolphins reveal which intelligence actually measures [22:07] The unresolvable dilemma of loving animals and eating them for dinner [35:32] Punishment never works and what to do instead of the spray bottle [42:44] What animals actually feel about pain and dying, and why they're never afraid [48:13] Can a soul cross species, or does a cat soul stay a cat soul [52:32] The envelope test and why telepathy is the easy part 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

The reason discipline feels so hard isn't laziness, and it isn't a lack of motivation either. This episode answers a listener's question about how to actually follow through on the things we choose for ourselves, and my answer reframes the whole conversation around the inner masculine and inner feminine. Most of us are running discipline through an inner tyrant that bullies, coerces, and shames us into action. That energy is a trauma field, not a practice. There's a different way to relate to your commitments, and it starts with listening to the part of you that doesn't want to do the thing without doing it wrong. Let’s get into the difference between muscling through and reaching a real consensus between your parts. The dishes, the dance classes, the 5:00 AM sadhana I kept for five years and then released in 2020, the mundane masculine initiations like leasing a car alone, all of it points at the same thing. Once the masculine container is set, the feminine can play. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:12] Why the immature inner masculine bullies you into productivity through self-flagellation [5:19] How the meta-self organizes conflicting inner parts without forcing consensus [7:40] Maturing the masculine through mundane tasks actually makes you feel safer [9:46] Connecting to a good “why” transforms discipline from compliance into devotion [12:50] Why a five-year 5:00 AM sadhana eventually felt rigid, dogmatic, and unloving 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    169: The Science of Coherent Water | Mario Brainović

    Access Kelly's Turn On Training here.  Coherent water can completely change your health on a cellular level, and there’s a wand that can turn any water into coherent water. Mario Brainović is the founder of New Earth Technologies and the entrepreneur behind Analemma Water, and he's spent seventeen years funding the research that backs every claim he makes here. I came into this conversation as someone who has tried everything around water: filtration, fasting, reverse osmosis, remineralization, three liters a day, the whole neurotic arc, etc. What Mario describes pulled me out of that loop. The science is rigorous, but the implication is what got me. Ninety-nine percent of the molecules in your body are water. Change the state of that water, and your entire biology follows. We also get into the part most water podcasts avoid: what happens to the information of a toxin after you filter it out, why 5G radiation damages water at close range, and how his wife saw the design of Analemma in a vision before he ever met the inventor. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction[3:49] Mario's path from selling a natural pharmaceutical company to discovering Analemma  [12:03] How Mario's wife channeled a vision of swirling water from Archangel Michael and Jesus [19:22] What coherent water is, and why H2O in chaos changes everything about your biology [26:11] The 5G experiment that killed plants, and how one swirl of the wand revived them [36:11] The placebo effect can't explain a 20 percent rise in mitochondrial ATP over two months [42:31] How seeds watered with Analemma started breathing light in sync with the tides [46:06] The dead Dutch soil that came back to life, and what it revealed about the human microbiome [57:17] Why filtering toxins out doesn't erase their frequency from your water [1:03:28] The bathtub study that improved heart rate variability by at least 30 percent 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    168: How the Masculine-Feminine Polarity Fixes Any Relationship | Alexandra Roxo & Eli Buren

    Access Kelly's Turn On Training here.  Access Kelly's Beauty Backroom event here. Eli and Alexandra say most women's nervous systems will reject a deep, present man on sight. Most of what gets sold as polarity work falls apart the second you bring it home, into a marriage, into parenting, or into a Tuesday night with bills to pay. Eli Buren and Alexandra Roxo are two of the very few teachers in this space I trust to talk about masculine and feminine dynamics as something you live, not perform. Eli has been mentored by David Deida since 2004. Alexandra is the bestselling author of F*ck Like a Goddess and Dare to Feel. I've known Eli for about a decade, and he was the one who first told me to be careful about forcing my relationship into the polished version of these teachings. This conversation goes there. What immature masculine and immature feminine actually look like in a body. Why a deep, present man can feel disarming when your nervous system isn't trained to receive him. How rupture, repair, and trauma show up inside a real partnership with a child in the next room There are red flags they want you to watch for in polarity teachers. We name them. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction[10:48] Why men's awareness and presence have become urgent currencies in a virtual world[24:39] Women reject the deep men they say they want, and Alexandra almost did too[29:39] How leaning on your looks, job, or competency exposes your immature feminine[35:23] Translating polarity from the retreat high into paying bills and taking out the trash[40:06] Bank accounts and breasts: the surface level where most couples get stuck[49:35] Words kill the polarity, and trauma imprints require more than practice[1:02:25] What Eli transmits to his daughter through tone, touch, and humming through the belly[1:10:24] Why "emotionally flexible" describes a mother's presence better than "regulated"[1:18:21] The red flags Alexandra and Eli see in other polarity teachers right now[1:23:42] Blending therapeutic somatic work with polarity practice waters both down 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
