Psychotherapist, filmmaker, and podcast host Stephanie James joins Kelly to talk about her heart-expanding new book, Your Big Fat Juicy Life (and Everything After)—a soulful guide to living with more purpose, passion, and zero fear. Drawing from her own healing journey and deep conversations with spiritual thought leaders, Stephanie shares how shifting our relationship with fear—especially the fear of death—can unlock a life that’s more vibrant, meaningful, and alive than ever.

This episode explores how grief, loss, and uncertainty can actually be doorways into deeper joy, how we can move through emotional heaviness instead of avoiding it, and why our soul is always craving expansion. If you’ve ever felt afraid of the unknown, stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, or unsure how to fully live while holding the weight of the world—this one’s for you.
