Summary

Ever notice how some people naturally draw others in, while others seem to push people away? What if the key to being more magnetic, successful, and fulfilled was as simple as shifting your energy?

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Dr. Harry Cohen, Ph.D., psychologist, executive coach, and author of Be The Sun, Not The Salt. His book is a short, powerful guide on how to uplift others, embody positive energy, and ultimately become happier and more effective in every aspect of life.

They dive into the Heliotropic Effect—the science behind why people naturally gravitate toward certain individuals—and how being a Positive Energizer can transform not only your relationships but also your own sense of well-being.

Topics include:

- What makes someone a people magnet and why authenticity is the ultimate attractor.

- How to bring out your best self in a way that benefits both you and the world around you.

- Three key strategies for keeping relationships strong and positive—even when challenges arise.

If you’re interested in how small shifts in your energy can improve your relationships and overall well-being, this episode is for you.
