I’m excited to welcome back Dr. Kelly Brogan, MD, a four-time podcast guest and community favorite. Kelly is a holistic psychiatrist, who is on a mission to help people reclaim their sovereignty and embodiment.  She’s also founded the online healing program, Vital Mind Reset, and authored bestselling books, A Mind of Your Own, Own Your Self, and children’s book, A Time for Rain. In today’s enlightening episode, Kelly and I discuss the polarities of the masculine and feminine, shedding victimhood, and trusting surrender. She shares her perspective on why we often eroticize wounds and fetishize disappointment and how we can transcend that mindset for good. We also delve into the shadow of activism, the spiritual ego, and the dangerous impact of emasculating boys and young men. Kelly also shares her personal journey reconnecting with herself after divorce and her evolving experience with motherhood.  Every time Kelly joins us on the podcast, she summons so much expansion for me – and I’m sure she’ll do the same for you.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.
