Robert’s memoir, Because I Knew You: How Some Remarkable Sick Kids Healed a Doctor’s Soul, is the first book to share the stories of children receiving palliative care — showing that this field is far more about how you live than how you die. Through the courage of these children and their parents, Robert found healing for deep wounds from his own past — and a new understanding of love, faith,...

In this deeply reflective episode of Broken Beautiful Me, Kelly sits down with Carmen Turner-Schott, MSW, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker, Christian astrologer, teacher, and bestselling author who has spent nearly three decades helping trauma survivors find meaning, resilience, and healing.
Carmen’s story begins in the Ozarks of Missouri, where she grew up feeling different from everyone around her. As a child she sensed things she couldn’t explain, dreamt vividly, and carried emotions that didn’t belong only to her. But everything shifted the summer before her senior year when she witnessed a glowing yellow orb of light in her bedroom doorway. Frozen in fear, unable to speak, she watched it move through her home as her mother tried to rationalize what neither of them could truly name. That moment became the spiritual turning point of Carmen’s life.
In the years that followed, Carmen experienced profound loss and intuitive awakenings that led her toward psychology, trauma work, and eventually the study of astrology as a tool for self-understanding. She began reading charts by hand, long before computers, discovering that each chart reflects a person’s emotional makeup, strengths, wounds, and the energy they carry through the world.
Today, Carmen is a professor of social work and a sought-after astrologer whose work bridges spirituality, psychology, and healing. In this conversation, she shares:
• 🌟 How growing up empathic shaped her sense of identity and belonging
• 🕯️ The night she encountered the glowing orb that opened her spiritual path
• 🔮 Why astrology is less about prediction and more about understanding your inner landscape
• 💫 The difference between your sun, moon, and rising signs, and why the moon sign reveals your emotional truth
• 🧡 How each astrological sign heals differently, and what that means for self-care
• 🌙 Why trauma shows up in specific parts of the birth chart, and how that knowledge helps survivors rebuild
• 🌏 How ancient symbolism, psychology, and spirituality all converge through astrology
Carmen also talks about her newest book, Your Astrological Energy, and how understanding your chart can help you cultivate compassion for yourself, deepen your relationships, and navigate your life with clarity and confidence.
A warm, illuminating exploration of intuition, identity, healing, and the mysterious ways we are guided toward who we are meant to become.
