HEAL with Kelly

What if the way you’ve been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart?

In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication.

 

We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being. 

We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we’ve been taught.

One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us through a real-time heart coherence practice you can follow along with — a simple yet powerful exercise designed to help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into balance within minutes.

Most of us are doing all the things — and still not feeling vital and energized. This episode might reveal the missing piece…

 

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas, and her story alone is worth pressing play for. It starts with someone she loves, a health crisis that wouldn't budge, and a discovery that quietly changed the direction of her life.

 

We get into what infrared light actually is — and why it's so much more than just a hot room. We cover how it works at the cellular level, and what that actually means for detox, circulation, and the kind of deep rest most of us aren't getting. We also had a really honest conversation about the nervous system — why you genuinely cannot heal when you're stuck in fight-or-flight, and what it actually takes to come back into regulation.

 

It’s not about adding another step to your wellness routine. It's about understanding what your body needs to do what it is innately designed to do... to heal.

 

If you feel like you’ve been running on empty and can't quite figure out why… I think this conversation is going to open something up for you.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know how obsessed I am with my infrared sauna. It’s my mini oasis where I go to replenish and reflect. If you’d like to learn more or create your own sauna tailored to your needs, visit Sunlighten.com/healwithkelly to receive a personalized quote.

Infrared saunas can be pricey — so it’s a great time to remind you that the sun is the most abundant and free source of infrared light. Spending 10–15 minutes outdoors in the morning or late afternoon will also give you a healthy dose of rich spectrum near-infrared rays.

Do you feel like you've lost touch with yourself somewhere in the noise of modern life? Like you're doing all the things… but still feeling disconnected, drained, or out of rhythm with who you truly are?

This conversation with Michael Trainer felt like medicine for my soul.

Michael is the co-creator of the Global Citizen Festival, host of the Peak Mind podcast, and author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and in this episode, we explore what it really means to live in resonance with yourself, your relationships, your purpose, and the deeper "song" that wants to be expressed through your life.

We talk about the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection… why some people energize us while others leave us depleted… and how our nervous systems are constantly being shaped by the environments, media, and relationships around us. Michael shares beautiful insights from Resonance on grief, heartbreak, healing, authenticity, creativity, and why pain itself can become the compost for a more meaningful life.

We also dive into the power of music as a metaphor for life, the importance of finding your "root" relationships, the healing power of community, and why true wealth may actually be the quality of experiences we share with the people we love.

This episode reminded me that healing isn't just about fixing ourselves — it's about coming back into tune. Back into connection. Back into the rhythm of who we really are.

Is the life you’re experiencing right now something you’ve been unconsciously creating — or are you creating from a place of purpose and intention? 

Most of you know manifestation is one of my favorite topics to discuss! In this episode, I sit down with Papi DiNuzzo — wealth manager, manifestation coach, and author of Manifest Anything You Can Imagine — for a spontaneous, high-frequency conversation about what it really means to consciously create your life. We go beyond surface-level “law of attraction” ideas and into how your thoughts, emotions, and subconscious patterns may be shaping your reality in ways you may not even realize.

We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in repeating patterns, how negative self-talk can influence what we attract, and why the first moments of your morning can be so important. Papi shares his perspective on the subconscious mind, energy, and why manifestation is not a quick fix but something you live and practice daily.

We also explore gratitude, belief, and emotional alignment, along with how focusing on the past or worrying about the future can pull you out of the present moment where real change happens. We talk about the importance of getting clear on what you truly want and what it takes to begin creating from that place. 

This conversation opens up a deeper look at purpose — why we’re here, what we’re here to create, and how much power we may actually have to shape our lives.

I didn’t know too much about the impressive Johanna Hellrigl before this conversation — a friend suggested I interview her and I intuitively said yes on the spot. And I’m so glad I did!

Johanna is the chef and founder behind Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and a board member of the Environmental Working Group who is revolutionizing what it means to nourish people — from the way she sources whole ingredients to how she cares for her team to the deeper intention behind every decision she makes. She is building a model of hospitality where indulgence, vitality, sustainability, and community coexist — proving restaurants can drive cultural and systemic change. This woman is doing the work, and you can feel it.

Johanna’s personal story also really moved me. As a chef, entrepreneur and mother, Johanna shares parts of her life that shaped the way she sees health, intuition, and what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing. It’s a powerful reminder of how much we’re capable of when we start to question, listen, and trust ourselves more deeply.

Many of us are aware of how to avoid toxins in and around our food at home, but I’ll admit eating out was more of a blind spot for me. We get into the hidden plastic crisis lurking in restaurant kitchens, the truth about what's really in your pasta and why it hits so differently in Europe, the seed oil conversation with actual nuance, food waste, and so. much. more. Johanna shares practical swaps you can make today in your own kitchen to reduce your toxic load — no overwhelm, just empowered steps forward.

We really covered it all! I left this conversation feeling inspired, grounded, and confident that our bodies are incredibly intelligent — and when we start to listen, everything begins to shift.
