    Go Slow
    Mar 9 2026
    Ep. 148 Lately, the world feels heavy. The news, the stress, the constant pressure to keep going, it can take a real toll on your nervous system. In this episode of Healthy Illness, I’m sharing a mindfulness and breathing practice that I personally rely on when everything starts to feel like too much. I call it the Go-Slow Framework — a simple way to slow your breath, calm your body, and bring your nervous system back into balance. This isn’t about pretending things aren’t hard. It’s about giving yourself a moment to pause, regulate, and reconnect with yourself so you can move through life with a little more steadiness and care. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by everything happening in the world right now, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and come back to yourself.

    Motherhood, Mental Health + Penance Work
    Mar 2 2026
    Ep. 147 Have you ever wondered if the work you feel called to do is connected to the parts of your story that still ache? In this unfiltered episode, I reflect on motherhood, mental illness, and a realization that brought me to tears. “The desire to help moms advocate for themselves and to learn about themselves so that they could be a better parent, has me wondering if my doula work is more of penance work.” - Kelly Marie If you’ve ever replayed your past while trying to heal in the present, this conversation is for you. You are not alone. Always be the light — especially to yourself.

  • Doing My Part After Weight Gain

    Doing My Part After Weight Gain
    Jan 12 2026
    Ep. 143 This episode isn’t about weight loss. It’s about doing your part. Kelly Marie continues last week's conversation and shares what changed after the realization of weight gain on Ozempic—and why the reset had to start with the basics, not another fix. Instead of chasing results, she focused on foundations: • consistent sleep • drinking water • eating simply and intentionally • taking medication as prescribed • responding to her body with honesty, not shame 🎧 Episodes Mentioned Part 1: I Gain 40 lbs on Ozempic | PodcastsStart with Sleep with Soda Kuczkowski 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 📲 Instagram @‌thefrontseatlife FB @‌thefrontseatlife, Email KellyMarie@FrontSeatLife.com 🎧 Produced & edited by JazzCast Pros 🔗 Click Here to rate & review on Apple Podcasts 🚀 Rate & Share this Podcast from Spotify 🔐 Add this show to your collection on Pandora. 💪 Support the Show with a one-time donation on PayPal Learn more about your ad choices.

  • I Gained 40 lbs on Ozempic

    I Gained 40 lbs on Ozempic
    Jan 5 2026
    Ep. 142 You can take the medication, follow the plan, and still feel betrayed by your own body when the “quick fix” doesn't fix what was really going on. In this deeply personal conversation, Kelly Marie opens up about living with diabetes, recovering from back surgery, and gaining 36 pounds while on Ozempic. She breaks down the uncomfortable truth many people avoid: medication can curb physical hunger, but it doesn’t heal emotional eating, stress, or the mental patterns driving our choices. This episode isn’t about shame or shock value. It’s about responsibility, awareness, and compassion—for yourself and your body. Key takeaways: ✨ Emotional health directly impacts weight management ✨ Ozempic addresses hunger, not emotional coping ✨ Small daily decisions matter more than big resolutions ✨ “Every day is a new year” when it comes to your health ✨ Progress starts with honesty, not perfection Remember chasing a shortcut often distracts us from the deeper work—and that sustainable wellness begins when you stop looking for fixes and start listening to yourself. 🔗 Register for the free Mindfulness event at Events — Front Seat Life, LLC Other Episodes You'll Enjoy Feeling Loss: The Emotional Journey of Disability Diabetes Diagnosis: How I Turned My Life Around with Ozempic Resources: Crisis helpline phone numbers: Dial 988 for immediate assistance or 741741 for text support Use 211 as the helpline for resources 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 📲 Instagram @‌thefrontseatlife FB @‌thefrontseatlife, Email KellyMarie@FrontSeatLife.com 🎧 Produced & edited by JazzCast Pros 🔗 Click Here to rate & review on Apple Podcasts 🚀 Rate & Share this Podcast from Spotify 🔐 Add this show to your collection on Pandora. 💪 Support the Show with a one-time donation on PayPal Learn more about your ad choices.
