S3 Episode 013 Caroline Kelf (DJ Flourish): Recovering Loudly … Boundaries, Disco Balls & Finding Your Shine
Manage episode 501302547 series 3472766
In this vibrant and vulnerable episode of We Recover Loudly, Shell is joined by Caroline Kelp — aka DJ Flourish: writer, speaker, and creator of the legendary Self-Love Rave. Known for helping women navigate midlife with more joy, connection, and empowerment, Caroline brings her trademark honesty and disco-ball energy to the mic.
Together, they explore:
- Growing up with pain and rejection, and how those early experiences shape identity
- The masks we wear — from teenage rebellion to corporate panels — and the courage it takes to drop them
- Social media, addiction, and why “discomfort” can either be a doorway to growth or a drain on our nervous systems
- The power of community, authenticity, and self-love practices in recovery
- How DJing in her forties led Caroline to discover joy, purpose, and a whole new way to connect
Caroline’s story is a reminder that recovery isn’t just about letting go; it’s about creating space for joy, courage, and connection.
Whether you’re in recovery, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or simply craving more authenticity in your life, this episode is a celebration of self-love, rebellion, and showing up as your fullest self.
