Kelly Carlin

Kelly ultimately connects the dots between the benefits of personal expression, living the good life, and the responsibility we all have to our future. She reveals how, even though she grew up as the daughter of one of the most creative comedians of the 20th century, she feared her own self-expression and paid a high price for her silence. She elucidates what gave her the courage to eventually “speak her truth,” and how others can too. Due to her background in psychology and life coaching, she’s more than qualified to give the audience tools to investigate their own blocks and free their own voices. She fosters one’s wonder and joy in being alive, and connects people to the only path to living their most fulfilling life. Finally, Kelly calls forth the audience to stand up, speak out not just for themselves, but for the sake of humanity and the planet.

In this talk, Kelly tells her story of going from self-censorship and creative paralysis to living an unbound artistic life. Starting in the shadow of her famous father, George Carlin, Kelly fights her way through depression, anxiety and addiction to find the courage to speak her truth to inspire others to live their turth. She explores what holds us all back from the life we know we’re here to live, and what we can do to step fully into our own light.

Reducing Stress in the Digital Age – In this talk, Kelly shares her story of what she discovered when she walked away from her online life for a summer. She taps into her experience of being an active social media person, 20 years of mindfulness practice, and her Masters degree in counseling psychology to discuss the effects of being overly tethered to our digital selves, and how to design your life to live in balance with it.
