What does healing really look like after spending more than 50 years helping people navigate grief, trauma, anxiety, and life's biggest transitions?
In this episode of The Kelly Healing Project, I'm joined by psychologist Dr. Liz Scott, author of You're Going to Die But Not Me!. While her latest book explores our relationship with mortality, our conversation goes much deeper.
We discuss what Dr. Scott has learned after five decades as a psychologist about healing, resilience, self-compassion, and the human experience. Together, we explore why healing isn't about becoming a "finished" version of yourself, how we can stop letting our past define us, and why meaning, connection, and curiosity are some of our greatest tools for growth.
Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, or simply looking for a new perspective on personal growth, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and encouragement.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
• Why healing is a lifelong journey—not a destination
• The role of self-compassion in lasting transformation
• What resilience really looks like
• Why curiosity can be more powerful than certainty
• How meaning helps us navigate life's challenges
• Lessons learned from more than 50 years as a psychologist
• Practical advice for anyone on a healing journey
