Former nun. Survivor. Teacher. Author. Truth-teller. Tune into From the Convent to Coming Out: Breaking the Silence with Barb Rebon.
In this deeply moving episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with Barb Rebon, author of The Heartbeat of My Silence, to discuss a life shaped by childhood trauma, faith, secrecy, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
After enduring sexual abuse as a child, Barb found refuge in the Catholic Church and entered a convent at just sixteen years old. What followed was a decades-long journey of navigating forbidden relationships, struggling with her sexuality, and wrestling with the belief that who she was could never coexist with her faith.
For nearly forty-five years, Barb lived with overwhelming guilt, shame, and silence. Yet through resilience, therapy, friendship, and an unwavering commitment to healing, she eventually found the courage to embrace her true self and share her story with the world.
This conversation explores the lasting effects of trauma, the human need for belonging, the power of unconditional acceptance, and why healing begins the moment we stop hiding.

What if losing everything was the beginning of finding yourself?
In this inspiring episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with Judith Colletti, a woman whose life story proves that your age is not your cage.
Judith's journey is one of extraordinary resilience. She ran away and married her first husband at just 19 years old, became a single mother of two, discovered while nine months pregnant that the man she planned to marry had given her fake divorce papers and was still married, uncovered a shocking family secret after her father's death, lost her business, lost her home, and found herself rebuilding her life from the ground up.
But this isn't a story about what Judith lost.
It's a story about what she gained.
Today, Judith is in her 60s, thriving, dating, building a successful transportation company, and inspiring others to believe that no matter how difficult life becomes, there is always a way forward.
Together, Kerry and Judith discuss:
⢠Why self-love is the foundation for rebuilding your life⢠How unresolved trauma can impact relationships and decision-making⢠What it takes to recover after losing a business, a home, and financial security⢠The mindset shifts that helped Judith reinvent herself time and time again⢠Why she started driving Uber to rebuild her life from scratch⢠How gratitude became her secret weapon during life's darkest moments⢠What dating looks like in your 60s and why Judith believes it's her best decade yet⢠Why living in the present moment creates more happiness than chasing perfection⢠The importance of embracing your story instead of hiding from it
Judith's message is simple but powerful: your circumstances do not define you. No matter where you are today, you can choose to move forward, reinvent yourself, and create a future that excites you.
If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start over, this episode is your reminder that some of life's greatest chapters begin after the hardest setbacks.

Astrology and Love: Aries Season, and How to Find Love in 2026 with Jill Jardine. Your Astrology Dating Guide for Spring 2026
What does astrology say about love right nowâand how can you use this moment to finally find love, take action in dating, and stop repeating old patterns?
In this powerful episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with astrologer and psychic healer Jill Jardine to break down the astrology of love, dating, and relationships during one of the most pivotal seasons of 2026. If youâve been feeling stuck in modern dating, questioning your path to finding love, or wondering when things will finally shiftâthis is your moment.
Because, according to this astrology love forecast, everything is changing.
After months of emotional heaviness, retrogrades, and reflection, the energy has officially turned. As Jill explains, all planets are now moving direct, creating a rare window for movement, clarity, and momentumâespecially when it comes to love and relationships.
This isnât a âwait for loveâ season.
This is a take action, find love, and change your dating life season.Aprilâs Aries energy brings bold, fast-moving momentum into modern dating, pushing you to confront whatâs not working and take real action toward finding love. This is the kind of astrology that sparks first dates, bold decisions, and new beginningsâbut it also requires awareness.
Because in this phase of astrology and love, people are moving fast.
Which means:
Connections ignite quickly
Attraction builds instantly
But people can also dismiss potential love just as fastThatâs why this episode breaks down how to navigate dating during Aries season without sabotaging your chances of finding real love.
One of the biggest themes in this astrology dating forecast?
A complete shift in tolerance.People are no longer settling in relationships that donât align. In todayâs dating world, emotional unavailability, mixed signals, and red flags are no longer being ignoredâtheyâre dealbreakers.
This is a season of:
Choosing yourself
Raising your standards
Letting go of misaligned relationships
Creating space to find real, aligned loveAnd thatâs exactly why so many people are either breaking upâor finally breaking throughâin their love lives right now.
But timing matters.
This episode walks you through how to work with the astrology of love from April through June so you can actually succeed in dating and relationships:
April is about action and exploration in dating
May brings grounding, stability, and deeper connection
June reveals clarityâshowing you who is right for you and who is notIf youâve been trying to find love, this timeline is everything.
Another major shift in this astrology love forecast is how we communicate and connect. With Uranus entering Gemini, thereâs a rapid evolution in dating, communication, and connection.
This impacts:
Dating apps and online dating
Texting and communication patterns
How quickly people form connections
The desire to find aligned, like-minded partnersBut thereâs a catch in dating.
While people want deeper connection and real love, theyâre also becoming more selectiveâsometimes overly focused on surface-level traits instead of true compatibility.
The key to finding love in this astrology cycle?
Stay open, but stay aligned.Kerry brings it back to what matters most in dating and relationships:
You have to put yourself in the right rooms to find love.Because finding love isnât about luckâitâs about action, energy, and environment.
This episode is your roadmap to navigating modern dating through astrology, understanding the energy of this moment, and finally taking aligned action toward real love.
The biggest takeaway from this astrology and love conversation:
Donât sit this one out.
Say yes to the date.
Say yes to new opportunities.
Say yes to meeting new people.Because the energy right now is designed to support finding love, creating connection, and building something real.
And as Kerry always saysâ
Take your shot.Because love isnât about perfect timing. Itâs about showing up when the energy is finally aligned.

Love Story takes us inside one of the most iconic and misunderstood relationships of our timeâCarolyn Bessette Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr., through the lens of someone who knew her personally. This episode offers a rare and intimate look beyond the headlines and into the truth of who Carolyn really was.
Kerry Brett sits down with celebrity writer Jonathan Soroff, who shared a real friendship with Carolyn before and during her rise into the global spotlight. Together, they revisit the 1990s, a time before social media, when mystery still existedâand how that intrigue became part of Carolynâs allure.
This conversation explores the tension between love and fame, the pressure of constant media attention, and the emotional cost of being in a relationship that the world is obsessed with. Jonathan shares behind-the-scenes stories that reveal Carolynâs character, her boundaries, and the quiet strength that made her unforgettable.
They also discuss the current cultural fascination with their relationship and what gets lost when real lives are turned into entertainment. It raises important questions about privacy, perception, and the way society projects meaning onto couples we donât truly know.
At its core, this episode is about more than a famous love storyâitâs about understanding the power of boundaries, the importance of self-worth, and why the most compelling relationships arenât always the most visible.
Kerry Brett closes the episode with dating insights inspired by Carolynâs approach to love, reminding listeners that attraction grows over time, boundaries set the tone, and the right person will rise to meet you when you hold your value.

In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett sits down with author of the popular book Bar Tips by Neil Rogers for a powerful conversation about human connection, dating, and what the hospitality industry can teach us about finding love.
Neil shares how decades behind the bar shaped his understanding of people, respect, and first impressionsâand why dating, like bartending, is ultimately a people business. From the importance of a proper greeting to the power of listening more than you speak, this episode explores how small, intentional actions can completely change the way we connect with others.
The conversation dives into transferable skills from hospitality that apply directly to dating, including preparation, punctuality, reading the room, and meeting people where they are. Neil explains why being ârightâ is overrated, how kindness builds trust, and why showing up without an agenda creates deeper, more authentic connections.
Kerry and Neil also discuss loneliness, modern dating challenges like ghosting, and how technology has made it easier to hide instead of engage. They explore why respect, compassion, and presence are more attractive than perfectionâand how confidence grows when we focus less on impressing and more on genuinely connecting.
This episode is a reminder that love doesnât come from performance or pressure. It comes from listening, kindness, and the courage to be yourself. Whether youâre dating, rebuilding confidence, or simply wanting better connections in your love life or in business, this conversation offers timeless lessons that can change how you show upâfor dates, relationships, and life itself.

The start of a new year isnât just about resolutions. Itâs about acceleration. In 2026, the heaviness of the last few years begins to lift. The exhaustion, the repeating patterns, and the familiar question of why we keep ending up in the same place are finally giving way to movement and possibility. Astrologically and energetically, we are entering a rare window that supports forward momentum, emotional openness, and new beginnings.
In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett is joined by astrologer and psychic healer Jill Jardine for a deep look at what the planetary shifts of 2026 mean for love, connection, creativity, and personal growth. Jill explains why this year marks the official transition into Aquarian age energy and how the collective move from heavy earth and water influences into lighter air and fire elements creates space for inspiration, innovation, and emotional renewal.
Together, Kerry and Jill explore why 2026 is a year of acceleration rather than hesitation. The Year of the Horse arrives with momentum, encouraging people to stop dragging the past into the future and instead align with what is meant for them now. This episode breaks down why January sets the tone for the entire year, why intention-setting early matters more than ever, and how grounding practices help navigate a faster, more dynamic energetic landscape.
Jill offers a detailed snapshot of the first quarter of 2026, including the powerful Aquarius activations in January, the intensity of eclipse season and retrogrades in February, and the integration and forward motion that begins to take shape in March. She explains how these shifts may impact relationships, dating, creativity, and emotional readiness, while also offering guidance on how to stay centered during periods of rapid change.
This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone who has felt stuck, cautious, or emotionally weighed down in recent years. It offers clarity on how to work with the energy of 2026 rather than resist it, and why love becomes more accessible when timing and readiness finally align. As Kerry and Jill discuss, love is not about perfect circumstances. It is about being prepared when opportunity meets intention.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of why 2026 represents a collective reset, how to approach love and connection with optimism instead of fear, and what it means to move forward without carrying old emotional baggage. This episode is an invitation to trust the momentum, stay grounded, and allow the year ahead to unfold with purpose.

Some love stories donât end with heartbreak â they end with unanswered questions.
Ana Walshe was 39. A devoted mother of three. Brilliant, driven, and building a life between Boston and Washington, D.C. But behind closed doors, her marriage concealed a chilling imbalance of power, control, and deception.
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with her daughter, Morgan Hurley â an interim court reporter who has been inside the courtroom covering the Brian and Ana Walshe murder trial. Together, they unpack what really happened, what the jury is hearing, and the warning signs that were tragically missed.
This episode is not about gossip.
Itâs about truth.
Itâs about red flags.
And itâs about the dangerous cost of ignoring them.Inside This Episode:
The early warning signs that surfaced years before Ana disappeared
Brian Walsheâs long history of fraud, manipulation, and financial deception
The rise of Anaâs independence and why it became dangerous
The affair, the unraveling marriage, and December 2022âs final days
The disappearance and the disturbing timeline that followed
The chilling Google searches prosecutors call the biggest smoking gun
Surveillance footage, erratic alibis, and evidence from dumpsters across multiple towns
The eerie voicemail left for Anaâs boyfriend
The financial motive, including a $2.7 million life insurance policy
The courtroom dynamics and the challenge of proving murder without a bodyMorgan also shares what itâs like to report on a case that happened in their own backyard and why this story deserves far more attention than it has received.
The Shot At Love Perspective
Ana was rising.
Her career was thriving.
Her independence was growing.And for a narcissistic partner who depended on her financially, that became the greatest threat.
When your success threatens someone, they were never your partner â they were your prison.
This Weekâs Shot At Love Dating and Relationship Takeaways:
Red Flags Are Not Decorations
If someoneâs past requires detective work to understand, donât investigate. Leave. Charm Is Easy. Consistency Is Rare
Grand gestures without steady behavior are manipulation, not romance. Your Body Knows Before Your Brain Does
Intuition isnât overreacting; itâs forecasting. Donât mute the message.About Todayâs Guest:
Morgan Hurley is an interim court reporter covering the Brian Walshe trial firsthand. In this episode, she brings clarity, credibility, and a journalistâs lens to a case filled with unanswered questions and troubling patterns.
