Ep 105: Motherhood, Humanity & Living in ICE Occupied Minneapolis with Elise Kelly
Mon Feb 02 2026
Welcome back to the Sarah Centrella Show you can watch the video of this episode on YouTube
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Elise Kelly, Minneapolis mom, intuitive storyteller, and co-host of the Trust Yourself! podcast with her sister Heidi Hansen — a platform grounded in intuition, self-worth, and real talk.
Elise recently posted a viral reel detailing the daily lived reality in her city after heightened federal enforcement actions, and the impact it’s having on residents — especially families trying to feel safe and human in their own community. In this episode, we peel back the headlines and talk about what life actually feels like for moms on the ground: the fear, the grief, the resilience, and the yearning to protect children while holding space for humanity.
This conversation isn’t about politics — it’s about parenthood, community, collective stress, comming together as American's and what it means to show up for one another in times that feel inhumane. As two mothers determined to make a difference, we explore what it takes to stay grounded, connected, and hopeful in the midst of crisis — and why bringing the lens of motherhood into this conversation matters.
Tune in for a real, heartfelt dialogue between women who are living this moment, feeling it deeply, and determined to help others navigate their own fear, uncertainty, and compassion.
