Welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast with your host, Jason Smith. In this episode, Jason sits down with Dr. Kelly Brogan, the author of The Reclaimed Woman.
Jason kicks off the episode by sharing a serendipitous moment where he stumbled upon the documentary Heal, featuring Dr. Kelly Brogan, just as he was preparing for this interview. This synchronicity sets the stage for a deep and engaging conversation.
Dr. Kelly Brogan dives into her background, detailing her journey from a conventional psychiatrist to embracing holistic practices after her own health crisis. She shares her personal transformation story, including her diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and how dietary changes led to her recovery. This experience led her to challenge the allopathic medical system and become a passionate advocate for naturopathy and lifestyle changes.
The conversation takes a turn into the dynamics of family and the integration of masculine and feminine values. Kelly, influenced by her law enforcement family background, discusses the importance of these dynamics in personal development. She also explores the concept of victim consciousness, emphasizing the transformative power of taking ownership of our own suffering and seeing ourselves in those we blame.
Kelly introduces the practice of Family Constellation therapy, explaining its impact on her understanding of relationships and personal dynamics. She highlights the significance of offering belonging and acknowledging all family members, including those excluded or forgotten, to heal ancestral wounds.
The episode also delves into empowering relationships. Kelly shares insights from teachers like Laura Doyle on improving romantic relationships through respect and support. She stresses the importance of seeing your partner’s potential and allowing them the freedom to make mistakes without judgment.
Parenting is another key topic, with Kelly offering advice on raising children with respect for their individuality and sovereignty. She emphasizes giving to children without expecting anything in return and allowing them to make their own choices, fostering a healthy and supportive environment.
Jason and Kelly then discuss the societal challenges facing men and women today, touching on the war on masculinity and femininity. They highlight the need for men to heal with men and women to heal with women to restore natural dynamics and complementary relationships.
As the episode concludes, Kelly shares her excitement about her upcoming book, The Reclaimed Woman, and its companion program, Reclaimed, launching on July 8th. She invites listeners to join her on this transformative journey.
