HEAL with Kelly

I sat down with a woman who walked away from one of the most public marriages in music history — and I wanted to know what it actually takes to choose yourself when the whole world admires your partner.

Deborah Santana spent over thirty years building a life, a business, and a family inside a marriage to one of the most famous musicians of our time, Carlos Santana. From the outside, it looked like the dream. But somewhere along the way, she started asking herself the question so many of us avoid: Am I actually living my purpose, or just managing everyone else's?

Deborah is an author, activist, philanthropist, filmmaker, and longtime advocate for equity and empowerment. Her new memoir, Loving the Fire, traces a journey of choosing truth over appearances, freedom over fear, and her own voice over quiet acceptance of what no longer serves her.

In this conversation, we get into what it really takes to rebuild your identity after fame, motherhood, and decades of putting yourself last — the moment that finally gave her permission to leave, what she's learned about love the second time around, and why she now believes the world has lost something essential by turning away from matriarchal wisdom. We also talk about raising kids who feel truly seen and the intuitive flashes she trusts more than almost anything else in her life.

Deborah is 75 and more radiant than ever. She is living proof that reinvention can happen at any age. If you feel like you’ve abandoned yourself or your dreams to keep others happy, this one is for you.

Have you ever wondered how some people find the strength to keep going when life keeps knocking them down?

In this conversation, I sit down with bestselling author and creator of the global phenomenon The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod, to explore what it really means to heal, persevere, and choose hope in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Millions know Hal for transforming their mornings — but fewer know the extraordinary journey that led him there. From a car accident that left him clinically dead for six minutes and being told he'd never walk again, to a rare cancer diagnosis with only a 20-30% survival rate, Hal has been forced to confront life's darkest moments over and over, and has found his way back every single time.

What struck me most wasn't just his resilience — it was his perspective.

We get into the five-minute rule, the difference between optimism and delusion, why he believes resistance — not circumstance — is the real source of emotional pain, the true origin of the Miracle Morning and the SAVERS practice, his approach to affirmations and visualization (and why most people get both wrong), the holistic modalities he pursued alongside conventional treatment, and what no one warns you about when medication starts changing who you are.

If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or needed a reminder that difficult seasons don't last forever — this one's for you.

Content Advisory: If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide or is in emotional distress, please reach out to a trusted loved one or a qualified mental health professional. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are elsewhere, please contact your local crisis services. You are not alone.

You all know that we are living in a toxic soup of seen and unseen chemicals. They're in our water, our food, our air, our furniture, and our clothing — everywhere we turn. It can feel overwhelming. But what if detoxification simply became a natural part of how we live, not something we need to fear or stress about?



In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, vitality expert and detox architect Natalie Lefevre, for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to support the body's ability to heal.



Like many of the guests I love bringing to you, Natalie's passion comes from her own healing journey. After being misdiagnosed, experiencing serious health challenges, and losing someone she loves, she was propelled into a lifelong search for answers that took her far beyond conventional medicine and around the world in pursuit of innovative healing modalities.



Natalie works with advanced diagnostics and blood filtration technologies to uncover what conventional approaches often miss. But what I love most about her perspective is that she doesn't stop at the physical body. We explore the emotional and nervous system patterns that can silently keep us stuck, even when we're eating well, exercising, and doing all the "right" things.



Together, we discuss environmental toxins, heavy metals, microplastics, inflammation, nervous system regulation, grief, emotional healing, subconscious programming, and the powerful connection between body, mind, and spirit.



Natalie's philosophy is simple: detox isn't a protocol — it's a way of life. And true vitality becomes possible when we address all of who we are — the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of healing.



Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to go deeper into root-cause healing, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what it means to detox, heal, and reclaim your health.

I truly feel that all healing is spiritual healing. And this is something Dr. Amy Robbins emphasizes it in this eye opening conversation.

Amy is a clinical psychologist, spiritual teacher, psychic medium, and host of the podcast Life, Death, and the Space Between. She has spent 20 years quietly doing something quite radical — building a framework that refuses to separate what happens in the therapy room from what's happening in your soul. She calls it Spiritually Informed Therapy, and I really feel like it’s the missing piece in the mental health conversation.

We get into the spiritual experiences therapists are increasingly hearing from their patients behind closed doors — but are often hesitant to address because it’s not acknowledged in the western psychology space. We talk about everything from felt presences of spirits, intuitive knowing, grief, communications from other realms, awakenings, and why traditional mental health spaces don't know how to hold them. Amy shares why she believes spirituality can no longer be treated as separate from mental health, and how she's training clinicians to ethically bring these conversations into their work.

We also go deep on alignment, trauma, anxiety, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and the hidden cost of ignoring your intuition. And why chronic stress doesn't just exhaust you, it cuts you off from the quiet inner voice that's trying to guide you.

This one is part therapy session, part spiritual awakening, part reminder that every piece of being human, the joy, the heartbreak, the mystery, is sacred.

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.
