For me, Kelly is a Beautiful person, and one of the best singers on the planet. In the world of entertainment, Kelly and Emily Blunt are my favorites. Both of them have that ability to allow you to be present with them. Your happiness (and sadness) shows Kelly. You are a blessing to all of us. 💕💕

    I think that the reason she's such a good hosts of her show And why people just love her in general is because she has no filters She shares her feelings she shares her thoughts she shares her joy she shares her sadness. And is someone else said she completely acknowledges how privileged and lucky she is to have the life that she does. She's worked very hard for it but she knows that she's very blessed and lucky. And for someone who's been a superstar for 20 years or more she is still just as humble as she was the first day.

I really respect the part where she says "Maybe things aren't going great behind closed doors but you show up and put your smile on and do your job because you're a professional." I completely agree. I never let what's happening in my private life affect how I perform or how I treat people at work. That's not always so easy but it's not my colleague's fault that I'm going through a rough time. I am so happy to see KC living her best life.

    "You could only compartmentalize until you break" This hit hard for me. I currently work at a job that although I like the work I don't like the work environment (manager + coworkers). At times I try to go to work all happy but soon feel the weight of my unhappiness hit. I know I need a fresh start too for my mental health. Luckily, I had one interview last week and another one this week. Also, I am so glad her kids loved the changed. I remember moving to Texas as a kid and not loving my new school, had no luck making friends, and this affected me through out high school too.
