Actor, comedian, writer, and producer Jamie Kennedy joins Heal 2 Feel for a hilarious, candid, and unexpectedly vulnerable conversation that goes far beyond Hollywood. Jamie takes us back to the beginning of his career—from growing up outside Philadelphia and discovering acting to moving to Los Angeles with almost nothing and refusing to give up after rejection after rejection. He shares the incredible story of landing background work on Dead Poets Society, finding himself on set alongside Robin Williams, struggling to get representation, working in telemarketing and delivering food while pursuing acting, and even creating an alter ego named “Marty Power” to help get himself in front of Hollywood agents. But this conversation quickly goes much deeper. Jamie opens up about growing up as the youngest of six children, feeling misunderstood, dealing with criticism, experiencing serious health challenges early in his career, and how those experiences shaped the comedian and person he became. He also gets candid about how dramatically Hollywood has changed. Jamie shares his thoughts on celebrity culture, reality TV, social media, why popularity has become its own form of currency, and why authenticity may be more important than ever. And, of course, Jeff Lewis comes up. Jamie talks about what makes Jeff so compelling, his chemistry with Mercedes Javid, and why being completely yourself—even when people don't agree with you—is often what makes someone the most interesting to watch. Later, the conversation takes an unexpectedly emotional turn as Jamie reflects on losing his parents, getting older, relationships, companionship, and realizing that achievements and success aren't necessarily the things that matter most. After decades of chasing the next opportunity, Jamie says he's reached a point where human connection has become one of the most important things in his life. And before the episode ends, the conversation turns toward Jamie's future—with a few unexpected predictions involving writing, Calabasas, marriage…and maybe even a baby. 👀 In this episode: Jamie's unconventional journey from Pennsylvania to Hollywood

What does it really take to heal from trauma—and who can you become when you finally give yourself permission to be free? In this deeply personal episode of Heal2Feel, actress, activist and healing advocate AnnaLynne McCord opens up about her journey through childhood trauma, sexual abuse, dissociation and ultimately discovering a path toward healing. Best known for her roles in Nip/Tuck and 90210, AnnaLynne shares a side of herself that goes far beyond what audiences have seen on screen. She discusses being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), the memories that resurfaced in adulthood, and how understanding her mind and body helped her begin putting the pieces of herself back together. AnnaLynne also takes us inside the many approaches she has explored along the way—from neuroscience and traditional therapies to Reiki, breathwork, spirituality and plant medicine—and explains why she believes healing is never a one-size-fits-all process. The conversation goes even deeper into the ways trauma can live in the body, intimacy and sexuality after abuse, our relationships with our parents, motherhood, forgiveness, self-worth and the patterns we unknowingly carry into adulthood. And perhaps most importantly, AnnaLynne shares a powerful message for anyone who has experienced abuse or trauma: healing is possible, and the life waiting on the other side may be one you can't yet imagine. In this episode: • AnnaLynne’s childhood and leaving home at 15 • Her experience with childhood sexual abuse and resurfaced memories • Being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID) • How dissociation can act as a form of protection • Why she believes “the glue is love” when healing fractured parts of ourselves • Neuroscience, Reiki, breathwork, spirituality and other healing modalities she has explored • How trauma can show up in the body and relationships • Sexuality, intimacy and reclaiming your body after trauma • Forgiveness—and why AnnaLynne’s definition of it has changed • Mother wounds, family patterns and generational healing • Turning pain into purpose • Giving yourself permission to finally set yourself free A note to listeners: This episode includes candid discussion of childhood sexual abuse, trauma, dissociation and sexual experiences. Please listen with care.

We’re getting ready to bring you a brand-new season of Heal2Feel with new conversations, new guests, and more of the honest, thought-provoking discussions you love. While we get ready, we’re bringing back one of our favorite conversations. In this encore episode, hypnotherapist Joe Tabbanella joins Heal2Feel for a fascinating deep dive into the subconscious mind, manifestation, relationships, limiting beliefs, and our ability to create meaningful change in our lives. What if the patterns keeping you stuck aren’t permanent — but simply programs your mind has learned along the way? After experiencing his own remarkable journey with visualization and manifestation, Joe became fascinated with understanding why these practices can work. That curiosity ultimately led him to the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and a career in hypnotherapy, where he has conducted thousands of sessions helping people better understand and shift deeply ingrained patterns. Joe explains the difference between simply thinking about change and creating an experience powerful enough for the subconscious mind to begin responding differently. In this encore episode, we explore: • How Joe’s incredible lottery story sparked his lifelong study of manifestation • What hypnotherapy actually is — and how it differs from traditional talk therapy • Why visualization alone may not be enough to create change • How limiting beliefs and childhood experiences can shape adult behavior • Why we can repeatedly attract the same types of relationships • How unresolved emotions can keep us stuck in familiar patterns • The importance of surrender, acceptance, and learning to sit with discomfort • Why getting specific about what you want matters when manifesting • How to reverse-engineer a seemingly impossible goal into achievable steps • The difference between being driven by fear and moving toward s Joe also shares practical techniques for recognizing old emotional patterns without allowing them to dictate your next move — and explains why creating a clear internal picture of the life, career, or relationship you want can be an important first step toward changing what you accept in the present. If you’ve ever felt stuck, repeated the same relationship patterns, struggled with limiting beliefs, or wondered whether manifestation is more than simply “thinking positively,” this encore conversation offers a completely different way to look at the power of the mind.
