Lexxi Keilly: On patterns in psychotherapy, her religious upbringing and the importance of community

My guest today is Lexxi Keilly. A psychotherapist, activist, and all around amazing human. She talks to us today about systems in therapy, current patterns we all are going through collectively, her conservative religious upbringing and how she transformed into a spiritually curious person (much through pole dance!), and the necessary support of community.

We chat about sexuality, activism, and feeling sparkly. One of my favorite things Lexxi mentions through her systems approach to therapy is that you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. This is a conversation that will help all of us feel seen, a little more understood, and a little braver to reach out and create those connections we’re so readily craving.

About the Podcast

The Jillian Pain Podcast
With the work I do as a healer, mentor and yoga teacher, I hear so many beautiful and captivating human stories. Each one unique, yet similar in its capacity to connect us deeper together. If only these stories could be shared with the world! I’ll be hosting these storytellers and visionaries on here via interviews, so they can share, heal and shine light in the shadows of their truths. My hope is to offer all of you connection, to feel seen, and to heal along with the person sharing their story. My goal is for people to see themselves in the stories of others, and amplify collective healing and empowerment in our culture.

Additionally, I’ll be interviewing really cool people who do really cool shit that I find interesting! From wellness, to healing, yoga, music, food, adventure, all the inspiration!

It’s time for us to feel more connected, search beyond the surface, find understanding, stop judging, and feel held and seen by our naturally empathic hearts. If you’ve met me in person, then you know that people feel completely disarmed and tell me their whole, incredible life story. Now it’s time to open that gift up to the world.
