    Thanks For Being Here Heather Clay's Essay "Elephants"

    Thanks For Being Here Heather Clay's Essay "Elephants"

    Heather Clay submitted her magical, beautifully written essay “Elephants”, after a two-week trip to Africa. Part travelogue, part reflective journal entry, Heather details the sights, sounds and emotions from the trip of a lifetime. As much a trip to experience the beauty and majesty of Africa, it was also a chance for ten female friends to interrupt their normal, everyday, work/family lives and do something just for themselves - and for each other.

    Heather Clay’s novel that Kelly references and loves is: Losing Charlotte.

    Go To on Figuring Out Mindfulness

    Go To on Figuring Out Mindfulness

    Here’s a word that everyone is saying these days: mindfulness. I don’t totally know what it means, officially, but I have jerry-rigged a little process to help me mind the moment, to see the day for the small miracle that it is and enter it with intention — and it’s working for me. So, see what you think. And let me know if you have ideas or tweaks on Instagram. (Previously aired)

Yo mama huhuhh ,

Thoughtful, funny and honest!!

I have been enjoying this podcast almost since its inception. I’m finally writing a review because I was absolutely blown away by the episode at the end of Rupture and Repair with April Lawson. I learned more about “the other side” of the reproductive rights argument that I usually sit on, and I honestly didn’t expect to. I’ve learned so much on this podcast, always appreciated Kelly’s intellectual curiosity and her humility, but I never expected for an episode to be transformational. That conversation on reproductive rights was transformational for me. I know both women exhibited so much courage undertaking this conversation, and I want them both to know it was not in vain.

She is the best !

I don’t know how I stumbled on Kelly‘s podcast but I’m so glad that I did! She is so down to earth so relatable has said so many life-changing things. If I could give it 10 stars I would! Don’t go changing 😊

Binge worthy!!!

I discovered Kelly via her podcast with Gretchen Rubin and have been binging and sharing it ever since. She is so smart, vulnerable and FUNNY. I’m remodeling a new home and can’t think of a better voice to accompany my construction drudgery - I don’t even mind the ads because Kelly reads them.
