How many times do you hear women voice frustration about "toxic masculinity" or "all men are assholes" and "men suck?" Kelly welcomes Connor Beaton, author, speaker and founder of Man Talks, to discuss a different perspective to all of these narratives and how he has created a world where men can actually heal old wounds and show up to be the men they either want to be or pretend they are. "Unless a man is brought on the journey of powerlessness, he will always abuse power." Connor sheds insight on why men feel so much pressure to perform, their carried shame and why many men don't feel the therapy world is a place to really grow and change. "Easy is generally not meaningful. Easy is not fulfilling. Especially for men. Do the hard things or the hard things do you."

"Find people who have what you want and learn how they got it." Kelly uses that tip to have a conversation with healing and movement teacher, Melissa Sgambelluri. Melissa's story of being on American Idol and getting out of toxic relationships-to finding her true self in a new career and love in a safe, loving, growth oriented relationship is intriguing to say the least. Kelly describes Melissa's energy as playful, warm, calm, peaceful, confident and creative and Melissa tells the story of how and why she got there. Melissa explains why so many women are facing burnout. "Sometimes the true power of the feminine is in the power of letting yourself be." Melissa talks about the messiness of healing, the power of not forcing and the beauty in owning your uniqueness. "Everyone is out there trying to have the same body type and do the same thing, but your true power is in being uniquely you. Everyone comes here with their own gift or gifts."Melissa reminds us that nobody actually has it figured out and encourages everyone to take some of the pressure off of ourselves. On most days (regardless of how it looks online) most people are just doing the best they can that day.  We say "I am not there yet........except 'yet' actually doesn't exist." It's all about today and the now. Helpful dating tip: She explains the difference between a true masculine energy and a masculine man operating from a feminine energy (think bar fights and chaos).
