    Learn more about Kelly's Relaxed Woman System here. What if the cavity story is bigger than sugar and brushing?  In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nirvani, a leading dental surgeon who has gone holistic in over a decade of practice. Nirvani gets honest about the limits of germ theory in the mouth and the oral–body connection that keeps showing up in real cases. We get into cavities, root canals, wisdom teeth, and amalgams, then shift to what a day-to-day, truly holistic routine looks like. Expect tongue posture, chewing with intention, a five-minute face massage, and simple at-home care, alongside the emotional layer that many families notice but can’t quite name. You’ll hear a clear way to think about what each choice might mean for your whole system, without the hype.

    132: The 4 Male Archetypes That Guide Our Relationships | David Coates

    Learn more about Kelly's Relaxed Woman System here. To dive deeper, listen to Reclamation Radio episode Unmasking the Narcissist and How to stop being controlled by Ego. Even the darkest voice in your head is trying to help.  In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist David Coates, trained in Internal Family Systems, to explore parts work with men. Together we trace how the mind operates like a family system of parts, and how those parts show up in relationships when they’re driving the bus. We also map the four extreme male strategies David has observed across years of clinical work and what shifts when they’re seen clearly. The problem is simple to name and hard to live with: when I blend with a part, it runs the show and pulls the relationship to the perimeter. The move is to unblend, get curious, and stay centered while refusing the bait. You’ll Learn: [00:00] Introduction [04:17] Why Internal Family Systems can finally make sense of your chaotic mind [06:01] How regulating your inner world stops the suffering loop you keep replaying outside yourself [08:12] The radical reason there are no “bad parts” because even suicidal thoughts have a protective logic [10:02] What happens when a therapist meets every part with zero agenda or judgment [14:55] The real patterns behind “toxic masculinity” and why labeling men as narcissists misses the point [20:46] How to recognize when you’re getting pulled into someone else’s chaos, and hold your own center [26:15] Why your partner’s most frustrating traits might just be old survival strategies [37:54] How reconnecting with exiled “little-boy” parts unlocks lost power and presence [51:15] What true healing looks like when an identity built on defense finally collapses 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    131: How to Tell If You’re Being Discerning Or Judgmental

    Ask Kelly your burning questions in our monthly Vital Life Project membership here. What if your body knows who to trust before your mind does? In this episode, I explore the distinction between discernment and being inflexible or judgmental, and why nervous-system safety matters. I look at how surrounding myself with people who share my values gave my system the signal it needed to read truth. I point to embodied examples of leadership where trust and betrayal are felt, not computed. The real shift is letting your body tell you who feels like an ally and where something feels off. Not everyone has to be everything to you. Some relationships are for deep safety, others are for a hike or a dance, and that’s healthy. When judgment shows up, it’s a mirror inviting you to own the part you’ve pushed into the shadows. Sometimes the smartest move is giving your body what it already needs. You’ll Learn: [00:00] Introduction [01:15] Why discernment isn’t about judgment but about nervous system safety [02:20] What binge-watching warrior shows taught me about embodied leadership [03:05] How to sense betrayal and trust through your body instead of logic [03:50] The real reason some people can’t engage in truth conversations [04:45] How to tell when someone’s nervous system can’t handle reality [05:10] Why different relationships serve different energetic purposes in your life [05:50] The healthy way to view relationships as conscious, reciprocal exchanges [06:05] How judgment reveals the parts of yourself still waiting to be loved Want to start a podcast like this one?

Responsibility comes first, along with the willingness to wear the villain crown. The process opens space to see the good inside painful relationships and drop the need to be right.

In this episode, I sit down with Elitsa Velikova, a family constellation practitioner and therapist to discuss the hot topic of relationships, both moving beyond past relationships and readying yourself for healthy love.

In this episode, I take you inside my own shift from running a business that constantly drained me to finally feeling what it’s like when work becomes an exhale. The story moves through the stages of female entrepreneurship, from the codependent “good wife” model to the reliable “good husband” that provides and grows. Along the way, you’ll hear about the toll of micromanagement, the endless chase of shiny new strategies, and the messy lessons I learned with consultants. The turning point came when I stopped clinging to control and trusted real leadership, which let my team carry the vision instead of me.

    126: The Truth About Flat Earth & Ether | Austin Witsit

    Join Kelly's sovereignty-minded community, Vital Life Project, here. What if everything you were taught about living on Earth is wrong?  In this episode I sit down with Austin Witsit, a researcher and debater who has built an extensive library of evidence on why we’re not spinning on a ball in space. He’s known for bringing rigor to a subject that’s often dismissed and for holding his own in countless debates. We get into his path from hearing a rapper mention flat earth to becoming one of the most outspoken voices in the field, why cosmology feels like the “glitch in the matrix” that changes everything, and how he handles conversations at a party without pulling out the sword. We also talk about the unseen realm, the idea of ether, and why the way we transmit this information, especially to the next generation, matters just as much as the facts themselves. You’ll Learn: The moment that sparked Austin into questioning the shape of the earthWhy cosmology acts as a “glitch in the matrix” that reshapes an entire worldviewThe surprising link between flat earth debates and discovering the unseen realmWhat it feels like to realize we can see much farther than the globe model allowsHow debates with PhDs often reveal more about academic bias than science itselfThe role of the ether and why it was removed from mainstream cosmologyWhat ancient civilizations knew about vibration, frequency, and the nature of reality Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [07:44] Austin’s path into flat earth and why he kept going [10:58] Why cosmology shifts an entire worldview unlike other truths [16:27] How Austin handles conversations about flat earth at parties [24:12] The tropes and challenges he faces in debates with academics [29:43] Understanding the ether and its implications for reality [35:49] Ancient civilizations, hidden history, and sacred geometry [38:21] The role of health, history, and cosmology in seeing clearly [44:18] The patterns of belief fields and victim consciousness [50:32] Why vibe and relatability matter more than fear when sharing truth 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
