SLP 512: From Perfection to Finding Soul Space with Kelly Hine

In this powerful episode, Kelly Hine opens up about her extraordinary life journey from growing up in a strict religious sect in Perth to becoming a teacher, world traveller, meditation leader, and women’s empowerment coach.

Kelly shares with Kim what it was like to live between “two worlds”, her school life and her church community, before marrying young within the church. She reflects on the challenges of motherhood, perfectionism, chronic pain, and divorce, and how these experiences ultimately became catalysts for growth and transformation.

Her story unfolds through seasons of teaching, traveling, overcoming family struggles, and discovering meditation, which led her to create retreats and her women’s community, Soul Space. Kelly speaks candidly about surrendering control, embracing imperfection, and redefining self love as an essential practice of authenticity and self forgiveness.

This conversation is an inspiring reminder that our hardest struggles often carry the seeds of our deepest growth.

About Kelly Kelly Hine is a transformation teacher who specialises in helping motivated women navigate major life transitions by guiding them home to their authentic selves.

Despite appearing to have it all – married with two children, a beautiful home, and a respected career as an award-winning educator – Kelly was drowning in anxiety, insomnia, and deep disconnection. Even after making brave external changes, including leaving a dysfunctional marriage, she discovered that lasting peace and fulfillment can only come from within.

Through her own profound healing journey – from lying awake thinking “I can’t stand this anymore” to now living by the mantra “I create my life from the inside out” – Kelly found the path from external success to authentic fulfillment.

Over the past decade, Kelly has developed her signature Inside-Out Method™ – a unique approach that works at the conscious, subconscious, superconscious, and energetic levels, combining modern neuroscience, evidence-based mindfulness, gentle subconscious reprogramming, spiritual wisdom and energy work.

Through her 8+ years running Soul Space – her heart-centered online community and her transformational retreats, Kelly guides women from perfectionism and people-pleasing to living aligned and on purpose.

Based in Fremantle, Australia, Kelly’s mission is to help women stop abandoning themselves for approval and start living from their inner wisdom, especially during life’s biggest transitions and crossroads.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is a verb, a doing thing as much as a feeling. It is a responsibility, not an indulgence. It involves knowing, loving, and being your authentic self unconditionally. It is an ongoing practice.

Her favourite quote is: A person sees in the world what they carry in their heart. Our heart is the portal to our soul.

Quotes: I would have never imagined I would be doing what I am doing today from my background and my past history. Responsibility was a big thing for me growing up. Looking back, I can see the trail, how one thing leads to another thing. I love being able to inspire other people. My thoughts and beliefs impacted my emotions. I had traditional beliefs, and I felt stuck! You can make big shifts, but life will not stop presenting challenges. Mediation became the doorway to a whole new life. I dove deep into spiritually and wisdom for myself. There was a cord around my heart pulling me gently to the next step. Beliefs are what form our view of the world, our behaviours. There are the conscious beliefs and the unconscious beliefs. They are just beliefs; they are not the truth. It is because of the struggles that we evolve. Perfection is killing our joy, embrace the imperfections. Stop projecting into the future, be in the here, now, today! Letting go of control as a mother was the most painful and powerful lesson. Surrender changed everything. Letting go! If you don’t love yourself, you can’t be your best to others. Forgiveness means looking back and knowing we did the best we could with the awareness we had. Self acceptance is a practice and an ongoing journey. My focus is guiding women to be back home. Being who we are here to be! The most aligned version of you is already within! You don’t have to change her, just unc
