Kelly was the Chief Operating Officer for an integrated network of 11 hospitals. She had professional success, a stellar career in healthcare, and a leadership role. But in 2009, her world was shattered by the unexpected and devastating loss of her son, Stephen. This profound event transformed her life completely, leading her on a path of resilience and purpose, where she now dedicates her life to helping others navigate their grief and find fulfillment through gratitude.

Through her personal journey, she has developed a deep and transformative relationship with gratitude, one that goes beyond the surface level and becomes a guiding force in her life and work.
Kelly's unique perspective as both a healthcare leader and a grief survivor sets her apart from other voices in the space. She blends her professional expertise with raw personal experience, creating a space for profound healing and transformation that speaks directly to those in healthcare and individuals experiencing personal loss. This duality—of professional leadership and personal vulnerability—makes her podcast uniquely impactful.
Today, Kelly is a serial entrepreneur, acclaimed keynote speaker, and the author of several impactful books, including "Just One Little Thing," "The Path," and "Gratitude in Grief." Her inspiring work has been featured in major media outlets globally, and she has received numerous accolades for her contributions to the field of grief recovery.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of kintsugi, which involves repairing broken pottery with gold to make it more resilient and valuable, Kelly embraces the idea that our broken pieces can be transformed into something beautiful and strong. Each episode features heartfelt conversations and powerful stories that highlight the resilience and strength found in the face of adversity.
Join us on this transformative journey as Kelly shares her insights, experiences, and expertise to bring hope and renewed purpose to those facing life's greatest challenges.
