In this special "Plot Twist" episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light Watkins revisits a pivotal moment from a past conversation with Kelly Noonan Gores, the creator and director of the acclaimed documentary HEAL. Kelly shares the inspiring story of how her deep curiosity and a life-changing discovery led her to follow her heart and pursue a dream she had been nurturing for over a decade.

In this bite-sized episode, listeners will hear how Kelly, who had no prior experience directing a film, was moved to investigate the incredible stories of people who healed themselves using the power of their minds. The spark that ignited her journey was reading about a woman who healed herself of stage four cancer—a story so compelling that Kelly felt an undeniable pull to create a documentary to explore the connection between mind and body in healing.

Light and Kelly discuss the challenges she faced along the way, including self-doubt, the fear of failure, and navigating the complexities of the film industry. Kelly also reflects on the importance of trusting your intuition, following what excites you, and embracing the unexpected twists and turns that life presents.

This episode is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration to follow their passion, especially when the path forward is unclear. Whether you're a creative professional, an entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to make a meaningful change in your life, Kelly’s story will remind you that sometimes the biggest leaps of faith start with a single step in the direction of your dreams.
