In an unscripted, unprepared episode, Kelly records a conversation between herself and her friend, Melody Godfred, about taking a mental health break. Kelly talks about the breakdown she had the week prior and Melody shares her experience with the Fred and Far owner and being an author and pausing it all to take an indefinite break to take care of her mental health, what that looks like and why. Kelly describes the moment she wrote in her journal "who the fuck am I?" and why her inability to answer that question led her to finally let go of all the striving and plan to pause.

Unless you live under a rock, you have seen the headlines about Brittany and Abby Hensel, conjoined twins who are making news recently about Abby getting married. The thing most people aren't reading about is that this happened in 2021, yet somehow just making news by going viral on social media. Of course this topic is super complex and brings up A LOT of questions, but the bigger point being how the twins are being treated on social media and in the press. Kelly and Chip discuss some of the issues they see happening with our current consumption of information and mis-truths, but also bring up the lack of empathy and kindness that seems like the natural reaction nowadays to anything and everything. They also discuss their questions about the complexities of the twin's lives and give some interesting information about their lives not being written about in the tabloids.

Kelly welcomes psychic intuitive and founder of Soulpathology, Amanda Rieger Green to show listeners what an actual psychic reading looks like and how it can be used in your life to deepen your own relationship to self and spirit. Amanda tells listeners her story of hitting bottom and then being awakened to her spiritual gifts while also reading Kelly's energy and processing the intuitive downloads about her soul's purpose in this life. She also explains why she uses numbers in all of her readings and how energy work actually works. If you have had any curiosity about energy work, psychic readings, astrology, human design, gene keys, etc- this podcast is for you. Kelly had Amanda read her on the podcast to normalize these kinds of modalities as healing and growth tools and remove the stigma. Let's just say, Amanda was SPOT ON.
