In this episode, I cover the topic of balancing rest, joy and work in the busy summer season. Our most important, non-urgent needs—like rest and meaningful connection—often get squeezed out of our busy schedules. That’s why a summer protocol can be so helpful. It is a way to budget your summer energy with intention.

The formula for a vibrant summer is creating space for Rest, Joy AND Work.

Rest– Fill your tank first. You are worthy of rest, simply by existing.
Joy – Once you’ve rested, engage in something that lights you up.
Work – With your energy restored, move purposefully into your responsibilities.

How can you do this for the rest of summer?

Create a weekly chart with 3- 5 boxes per day (adjust for your energy levels). Choose colors for rest, responsibility, and relationships. Fill in a few boxes with time for each important area of life.

Life happens! Allow blank spots so you can pivot if needed.

Start with just the next 2 days if a week feels overwhelming. Decide your energy allocation ahead of time and stick to it. Check in daily and move your energy blocks to where it feels right.

This week on the podcast, listen in on a conversation I had with fellow life coach Shelly Groom about faith and the journey to living authentic, abundant lives. Living a vibrant, abundant life starts with embracing your true self.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Abundance is real: Faith can encourage us to live authentically and abundantly.

Community matters: It is powerful to connect with others who see our potential and hold space for us to grow. Whether through group coaching, spiritual groups, or friendships-it is worth the time to find people to do life with.

Live Loved: Coaching communities can help all of us love, encourage, and “hold space” for others, helping them recognize and nurture their inner potential.

In this episode, I share strategies for making summer a season of fun and growth.Living with greater self-awareness and intentionality can help put the fun back in your summer.

Here are 3 takeaways:

The foundation for intentional living-Notice & Decide.
Before saying yes to every summer activity or routine, pause and notice what you truly want and need. Journaling morning pages as suggested in “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron—can help you discover your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Begin by asking yourself: What do I actually want this summer to look like?
Small, intentional choices shift your energy.
Instead of striving for perfection or cramming your calendar with obligations, pick one thing each day or week that feels fun and energizing. Whether it’s a walk in the sun, a cozy afternoon with a book, or a simple gathering with friends, prioritize the experiences that bring you joy—and give yourself full permission to say no to the rest.
Practicing self-awareness leads to lasting change.
Summer is a great time to experiment with new habits or practices, even if they seem small. Focus on progress, not perfection. Celebrate any positive change, and remember: You’re building a vibrant life not just for yourself, but for everyone around you.

This week on the podcast, I am sharing a conversation with a fellow life coach, Lizzie Merritt. We discuss tools to live with more self-compassion, awareness, and fulfillment.

Whether it’s overcoming people-pleasing, breaking unhelpful patterns, or learning to accept your unique wiring, life coaching can help anyone seeking lasting change.

3 highlights from our conversation:

Self-awareness is transformational: Understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do (through tools like the Enneagram or self-reflection) helps us have more grace for ourselves and compassion for others. Noticing our patterns is always the first step.

Behavior follows identity: Sustainable change doesn’t start with shifting actions. When you begin to see yourself as someone worthy, capable, and enough—your actions naturally align. Start on the inside with noticing your thoughts, feelings, values, and identity.

Rest is an important tool: True growth and health mean creating space for rest. Without it, we keep repeating old patterns and using coping mechanisms that don’t serve us or could even hurt us and our relationships.

Living a vibrant life isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being curious, getting honest about what’s really going on beneath the surface, and learning to celebrate the whole, unique you.

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on the book “Everybody Always” by Bob Goff, a bestseller from 2018 that challenges readers to radically love others—especially difficult people and those with differing viewpoints. A topic never more relevant than now!

If you had to summarize the entire Bible in one word, it’s love. If we believe we are who God says we are—loved, valued, and capable—then loving “everybody always” flows authentically from us.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Love with Boundaries: Love isn’t about being a doormat or accepting harm. It’s about sharing your energy to help people see their value, while also practicing healthy boundaries.

Start with Self-Awareness and Receiving Love: We become capable of healthy authentic love for others by first believing and accepting God’s love for ourselves. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Extend Grace to All:: Loving beyond your circle means extending grace even to those who are difficult to love. It’s not easy, but it’s possible! Sometimes, start with loving someone for just 30 seconds at a time.

Let’s be people who choose love over everything else.

Each of the five Human Design energy types (Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Reflector) has distinct energy patterns and communication styles.

By understanding what feels satisfying or frustrating (for Generators, for example) or what brings peace or anger (for Manifestors), individuals can better align their actions and communication, leading to more fulfillment and less wasted energy.

Manifestors are initiators—others feel their presence before they speak.
Communication: Clear, direct informing is essential. Manifestors should not assume others understand their actions; proactive communication prevents confusion or alienation.
Alignment Check: Notice if you feel peaceful (in alignment) or enraged (out of alignment).
Generators “move things along” and can work extensively when energized.
Communication: Authenticity matters. Generators should listen to their gut (the sacral response)—making sounds like “uh-huh” or “uh-uh” can help clarify true desires and satisfaction.
Alignment Check: Notice feelings of satisfaction (in alignment) versus frustration (out of alignment).
Manifesting Generators are the hybrid of generator and manifestor. They are fast, nonlinear, and enjoy juggling multiple interests and projects.
Communication: Share enthusiasm without overwhelming others with the full scope of your excitement. Hone in on what truly lights you up and communicate that succinctly.
Alignment Check: Similar to generators, attending to gut responses ensures decisions stay true to your energy.
Projectors “see” others deeply and often offer wise counsel.
Communication: Wait for invitations before sharing insights—unsolicited advice may be wasted or even resented. Invitations ensure that energy is well-received.
Alignment Check: Are your insights being invited and appreciated? Use this as your barometer.
Reflectors are the rarest type; open and reflective, sampling the energy of everyone around them.
Communication: Take your time (even up to a month) to process and respond. There is no need to provide immediate answers.

Alignment Check: Are you honoring your need for time and not succumbing to pressure for quick responses?

Building and maintaining strong relationships isn’t just about connection—it begins with understanding your "why"-what’s behind your behavior, rather than just the behavior itself.. This episode focuses on the importance of self-awareness and purposeful action in all our interactions.

3 Key Takeaways:

Self-Awareness Is Foundational: You are in charge of your thoughts, feelings, and actions—but not anyone else’s. Greater self-awareness empowers you to set boundaries and invest in your own well-being, which benefits every relationship.
Embrace Differences: Everyone processes life differently—through heart, head, or gut; with varying energy and focus (past, present, future). Recognizing and honoring these differences leads to more grace, understanding, and healthier connections.
Intentional Action Leads to Transformation: Pick one area to focus on—whether it’s self-care, communication, or personal growth—and commit to investing in yourself. Self-care is not selfish, it is the key to healthy relationships.

Ready to invest in relationships that matter? Start by knowing your why.

In this episode, I’m focusing on relationships, using the Enneagram to understand the 9 different core motivations that drive our behavior.

Identifying our core fears and desires can foster greater compassion in personal and professional relationships. As we notice what is driving our behaviors—even when we’re not consciously aware —we can create a tool box to support us, including exercises for self-reflection.

Noticing and understanding your own—and others’—core motivations can open up new possibilities for empathy, collaboration, and personal growth.

This week on the podcast, listen in on a conversation I have with Liz Trujillo, of mytruedesign, a graphic designer who loves to help people bring their vision to life. We discuss the importance of authenticity and how values should be the driving force behind building a brand and a business you love.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Let authenticity drive your brand: Liz shares her journey of shifting from a serious brand to one that embraces her love of pink and reflects her true self. Authenticity became her north star, giving her the confidence to put herself and her values out into the world—reminding us all that staying true to ourselves is where real confidence comes from.
Your first version won’t be perfect—pivot often! The reality is that your first attempt at branding or business might not fit perfectly. Don’t let that discourage you! It's essential to experiment, pay attention to what brings you joy, and let your values evolve.
Knowing yourself is the best tool for growth: Taking time to explore what you love—whether that’s colors, images, or ways of showing up online—will help guide your decisions. Liz encourages listeners to pause, make mood boards, and even use tools like Pinterest to get clarity.

Most importantly, don’t hide: put your name and your face out there, because people connect with people, not just great branding.

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without this supportive community. Thank you for listening and sharing!

Today's podcast is a conversation with several of my long term clients.

We discuss the value of group coaching, cultivating self-awareness, extending kindness to ourselves and others, and aligning our energy towards purposeful work.

Group coaching helps us know we are not alone in our journeys and can learn so much from each other.

Here are 3 key takeaways:
Self-awareness transforms how you lead and live: Learning to embrace your unique wiring—like the genius of "wonder”—can shift self-criticism to self-acceptance and growth.
Community accelerates your progress: Witnessing and participating in group coaching unlocks new insights and reminds you that you’re not alone in your challenges or aspirations.
Small steps and routine check-ins matter: Aligning your time and energy to what truly matters enables real, sustainable progress on purpose-filled goals—even just 30 minutes a week can make a lasting difference.

This week on the podcast, I am re-sharing an episode on the Enneagram, highlighting how it shapes the way we think, feel, and do life—especially during times of stress. It is such a powerful tool for self-awareness. .

We each process life differently—through our body, heart, or mind. These are called Centers of Intelligence. We each use all three, but one is our primary way to process life's experiences.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Types 8, 9, & 1: Experience and process life somatically through the body. Emotions like anger serve as important signals, helping us identify when boundaries are crossed. Notice the difference between healthy anger and unhelpful rage or contempt.

Types 2, 3, & 4: Live life through feelings. Learn to distinguish between guilt (a signal to reflect on actions) and shame (a harmful belief that “I am wrong”). Self-awareness helps us access the truth of our value and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships.

Types 5, 6, & 7: Engage life through thinking and strategizing. The central challenge here is catastrophizing—imagining worst-case scenarios. Fear serves a purpose, but learning to focus on “what’s the best that could happen?” can rewrite our patterns.

The gift of self-awareness is understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do—then putting loving boundaries in place.By using the Enneagram, we can see that everyone operates from their own core motivations and patterns. This insight allows compassion for ourselves and others, encourages healthy boundaries, and supports living a more vibrant, purpose-filled life.

This week, I am re-releasing a recorded group coaching session about the power of deciding from aligned energy. You can learn to make decisions from a place of aligned, grounded energy rather than stress or overwhelm. Small steps, grounded in peace and power, create lasting transformation!

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Aligned energy is the foundation for living your dreams. When you pause to notice your inner energy (not just your to-do lists or relationships)—you can move away from exhaustion and depletion.
Noticing your energy comes before deciding—and your energy matters! Instead of leaping from noticing a problem to deciding a solution while in the wrong energy, check in first. Practices like breathing, pausing, or reflecting keep energy flowing.
Take small steps rooted in self-awareness and your unique values. Whether your goal is writing a book, hosting an event, or building a strong community, create a plan that feels both safe and inspiring.

In this episode, my focus is on planning your next steps once you’ve decided on a goal to strive for. Learning how to invest your energy wisely can truly change everything.

Here are three key takeaways for you:

Focus on One Priority: Identify what truly matters right now and direct your energy there for 3-week “sprints”.
Plan Small, Aligned Actions: Break your priority into small steps. Schedule these steps like important appointments, matching your time and energy.
Reflect and Pivot: After each sprint, look back: What worked? What didn’t? Use what you learn to make a small pivot and plan your next steps with confidence and clarity

This week on the podcast, I am sharing an excerpt from my INVEST in Your Dreams group coaching program. Podcast host Linda Brand joined me and shared her thoughts on the power of naming your strengths.

Confidence is not arrogance. This episode is packed with actionable inspiration!

If you’re ready to remember how worthy you are , own your strengths, and share your voice, here are 3 key takeaways:

Messy Action Builds Confidence: Confidence doesn’t come from perfection, but from courageous, messy action—in her case, starting the podcast and embracing every opportunity.
Consistency is Currency: Embracing consistency and taking necessary breaks—led to exponential growth for her podcast.
Your Voice Matters:Your unique story and experience are valuable—even if they reach just one person.

Authenticity trumps perfection, and every act of sharing moves others (and yourself) forward.

This week on the podcast, we are looking at the areas of our life through the lens of a “Life Wheel” so that we can remember our goals matter.

What is important to you deserves your best energy, even if life often tries to pull you in multiple directions.

Here are 3 takeaways:

Focus on ONE priority: You can’t drive in seven directions at once. Choose one area of your life to invest in for the next three weeks—a focused sprint makes your dream more achievable.
Make your goals small and specific: Break big intentions into tiny actions that fit your real energy and capacity. (Sometimes, the first win is just putting on your sneakers!)
Balance grace and accountability: Give yourself flexibility, but hold yourself lovingly to your commitments. The goal is progress, not perfection.

Your dream is important, simply because it’s important to you.

The Working Genius is a powerful self awareness tool that can transform both your personal and your work life.

In today’s podcast, I focus on the underlying motivations behind each Working Genius, they WHY behind WHAT each genius craves or desires, and what things “crush them”.

Everyone, regardless of their genius, craves to be seen, understood, and wanted.

When you understand what specific things you crave and what crushes you, you can not only better identify your geniuses but also use that information to have more agency in your life - to work more productively, improve work and personal relationships, and avoid burnout.

Understanding what motivations are behind each genius is vital to be able to use this information to improve your life and your relationships.

The motivations of the 6 types are:

Wonder - craves being considered; crushed when dismissed.
Invention - craves freedom; crushed by constraints or when others jump in too soon.
Discernment - craves being trusted; crushed when told to “prove it”.
Galvanizing - craves reaction; crushed by apathy.
Enabling - craves appreciation; crushed by being overlooked.
Tenacity - craves clarity; crushed by ambiguity.

In this episode, I spoke with graphic designer Liz Trujillo.

She loves to help creators bring their vision to life. We talked about The Artist’s Way and how it has impacted us.

Solitude Fuels Creativity: Time alone isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Creating healthy boundaries allows us to recharge, fueling authenticity and creativity.
Notice What You Want: Beyond gratitude, it’s okay to authentically name your desires. Writing down even the simplest wishes can help you expand your sense of possibility and start receiving more of what truly matters to you.
Be Kind to Yourself: Self-love starts with self-awareness and self-compassion.

As Liz shared, “If someone asks me how to love themselves, I hand them The Artist’s Way.” This week's small step is to give yourself permission to try, reflect, and grow at your own pace.

Here is a Tidbit for Today

Judi Adamyk from A Practical Life on Substack shares a few thoughts about meal planning that supports—rather than drains—our energy.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Start Where You Are: Whether you build a menu from your pantry inventory, start with a fun recipe, or pull together a “girl dinner” or leftovers, meal planning doesn’t have to be restrictive or rigid.
Habit-Stack for Success: Tie tomorrow’s dinner prep into tonight’s cooking routine by taking out meat to thaw while you’re making your current meal. This small habit shift makes a big difference!
Align with Your Energy: Meal planning should match your life and mental energy. If mornings aren’t your thing, skip the slow cooker and opt for 30-minute dinners in the afternoon or evening instead.

Meal planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s the point. Give yourself permission to do what works best for your lifestyle.

How do you make meal planning work for you?

Does meal planning ever feel daunting to you? Does it leave you in a state of decision fatigue or dread? In this episode, listen in on a conversation I had with Jenny Cheifetz, The Flirty Vegan.

We explore the mental load so many women carry when it comes to meal planning, the power of giving ourselves grace, and practical strategies for simplifying food without sacrificing nutrition or joy.

Whether you’re curious about plant-based living, looking for ways to streamline your own meal routines, or simply wanting permission to ditch perfection for good, this episode offers relatable stories, tangible tips, and a gentle reminder that “good enough” really is enough.

Here are three key takeaways:

Give Yourself Grace: Let go of perfectionism and redefine what “enough” looks like, especially when it comes to everyday tasks like cooking. Sometimes, dinner really can be as simple as toast and an apple!

Find Your Shortcuts and Systems: Batch cooking, simple appliances- like a rice cooker and air fryer, and having a stocked pantry save time and reduce decision fatigue.

Honor Your Energy and Preferences: When you tune into your own likes and dislikes around things like meal prep and cleanup, you can create routines that actually fuel you instead of drain you.

This week's episode is an excerpt from a recorded live group coaching session on the benefits of intentionally slowing down in order to get more done of what truly matters to YOU.

Here are 3 takeaways:

Embrace Smaller Steps: Don’t overcommit! Pick just one time block a day (even just 1–2 days per week) to focus on your most important goal. Break your action steps down until they feel truly manageable and aligned.
Guard Your Energy as a Precious Resource: Whether it’s creating white space on your calendar or setting boundaries with distractions, protecting your best energy is key to achieving your goals, long-term fulfillment, and inspiring those around you!
Prioritize what’s important: Use frameworks like the Eisenhower Matrix, and build in rituals or transitions to help you step into a state of flow.

This approach isn’t just about doing less—it’s about doing what truly matters, with intention and wellbeing at the center. Curious how to get started? Try scheduling one small, aligned action this week and notice the shift in your energy and results.

In this episode, my guest Dorene Olsen reminds us of the wisdom found in embracing BOTH the busyness and stillness of life. It’s possible (and important) to do both!

Here are 3 highlights from our conversation:

You have Permission to Pause: Slow down in winter and create space for reflection, clarity, and connection. You’re not “behind.” Pause to ask yourself: What’s now? What’s next? What is one thing I need to ask for?
Reflect, Celebrate & Adjust: Take out your camera roll and review the past year. You will see what you’ve accomplished and where you spent your energy. Celebrate the wins and spot opportunities for growth.
Ask Boldly: Don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether in business or your personal life. Each season brings a chance to notice what’s now, what’s next, and what you might need from others. Asking not only helps you but also gives others the joy of contributing.

A vibrant, purpose-filled life happens as we embrace both productivity AND pauses.

This week on the podcast, I am sharing excerpts from the Book of Esther. Esther’s story is full of courage, purpose, and faith even when God seems absent.

We are reminded that life is often filled with disorder, confusion, and pain—what we call "the mess." Esther’s journey reminds us that God is working in the middle of our mess.

There is Power In Small Decisions: Miracles like Mordecai moving from ashes to royal robes are the result of consistent, humble choices.
Your Thoughts Are Powerful:“Your circumstances do not create your feelings, your thoughts do.” We can choose healing thoughts, and respond to their mess with agency rather than defeat.
Hardship and Hope Can Co-Exist; God’s work is not limited by our pain.

Remember, in every chapter—whether you feel God’s presence or not—He is closer than you think, working in and through your mess to bring about something new.

This week on the podcast, I am sharing excerpts from the Book of Esther. Esther’s story is full of courage, purpose, and faith even when God seems absent.

You Are Made On Purpose, For A Purpose: Sometimes, we need to hear this truth over and over—especially in seasons when life feels uncertain. Esther’s journey is a testament to finding meaning amidst challenge and believing in your unique role in the world.
Find & Listen To Wise Voices: Esther’s story highlights how voices around us impact our choices. It’s normal to feel scared when stepping into the unknown, just as Esther did when she was called to act courageously for her people.
Notice & Process Your Feelings: God can handle all our feelings—and when we bring our thoughts to Him, replacing fear with truth, we step courageously into what we’ve been called to do.

This week on the podcast I am joined by guest Kelly Lupsha, a physical therapist and wellness advocate with over 30 years of experience.

We also discuss how investing in our energy can help us activate a vibrant, abundant lifestyle—especially in midlife.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Fun is fundamental to energy and joy. Taking time to do things you enjoy and noticing that laughter is contagious—and surrounding yourself with uplifting people or practices can help you summon your best every day.
Small habits create meaningful change: Meal prepping, prioritizing protein in the morning, and evening routines like making your bedroom a sleep sanctuary are simple steps that transform your daily energy.
Creativity is energetic fuel: We both love essential oils and finding beauty in everyday moments. Taking a walk and looking for a beautiful flower not only lifts your energy but encourages you to be the “leader of your own health.”

In this episode, my guest Joann Yorkston and I talk about small actions that create magical winter days. From outdoor walks (even in the rain or snow!) to cozy scarves and daily rituals, we can choose to embrace the winter season, not just endure it.

Here are a few takeaways:

Intentionally seek joy in routines: Whether it’s wearing a favorite scarf, lighting a candle in the morning, or stacking your habits for an easier day, small choices can make winter (and life) feel special.

Nature heals, even on the bad weather days: Getting outside every day—even for 10 minutes—can be transformative. It’s not about perfect weather, but about noticing the beauty, breathing fresh air, and letting the outdoors reset your mindset.

You are worth the investment: Whether it’s buying outdoor gear you LOVE, carving out quiet moments for yourself, or building community through shared activities, remember: you’re worth the time, energy, and self-care that create a vibrant life in EVERY season

In this episode, I am sharing a conversation I had with Sarah Swift about how she chooses to appreciate—rather than just endure—the winter season.

Sarah has learned to welcome winter by carving out intentional moments and finding joy in each day, and remembering that life isn’t a race all year long—there’s time enough for everything that matters. And slowing down, especially in the winter, aligns with seasonal rhythms, which is how we are meant to live!

Here are three takeaways:

Mindset is Everything: Look for small joys in every day—regardless of the season. Whether it’s appreciating freshly fallen snow or savoring a slow cup of coffee, choosing to focus on little moments of happiness can totally transform our experience of the colder months.

Healthy Habits: Don’t let winter be an excuse to put your well-being on hold. Movement (like walking outside—even in the Wisconsin chill!) and muscle toning happened as she learned to adjust her routines, layer up, and create inviting spaces in her home.

Refresh Your Space, Refresh Your Mind: Winter is the perfect time to tackle projects inside your home, from deep cleaning to adding special touches to your favorite spaces. Start small with one meaningful area (maybe your bathroom or office) . Don't feel like you need to declutter your whole house at once!

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the Danish concept of Hygge- a powerful approach to embracing coziness, comfort, and well-being through the dark cold winter. By being intentional about creating habits that work for you, you can transform your experience of the deep winter months.

3 Key Takeaways:

Intentional Self-Awareness that aligns with the current season: Notice where you are- mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually—and ask yourself what you need more of THIS season. Small shifts can spark big changes.

Simple Comforts Matter: From soft blankets and lighting to favorite hobbies and engaging your senses, find rituals that make daily life genuinely cozy and joyful.

Community & Connection: Hygge isn’t just about your environment—it’s about people. Reach out to those who energize and inspire you, and intentionally create moments to connect.

What is your next step? A new cozy light, heartfelt message to a friend, or dedicating time to a favorite hobby. Your well-being is worth it!

Being super busy isn’t the only path to success!

Are you ready to ditch frenetic energy and step into your vibrant, purpose-filled life? In this episode, I explore a powerful approach to productivity that’s not about hustle, multi-tasking or overwhelm, but rather about alignment, intention, and true self-awareness. Let’s all make decisions from a place of peace and love for our future selves.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Self-awareness is the foundation.
Understanding where your energy and time are going, and making intentional choices, changes everything. Take a pause, breathe, and notice what truly drives your decisions.

Aligned actions matter more than volume of actions.
Not every “yes” serves your best energy or purpose. Focus on what feels intentional, and allow yourself to say no when needed.

Design your environment and routines for peace.
Whether it’s calming music, meaningful colors, or grounding rituals, the cues around you influence your productivity and your sense of calm. Implement small, repeated practices that genuinely serve your energy.

Do you feel the “New Year, New Me” energy fading? You’re not alone! By mid-January, most people have already set aside their resolutions. This week on the Live A Vibrant Life Podcast, I’m inviting you to rethink goal setting—and discover a kinder, more realistic path to achieving your dreams.

Let Go of January Pressure: Goals don’t have to be set (or achieved) in January. Your priorities can be nurtured year-round, whenever your energy feels right.

Choose Peaceful Productivity: What if you could be productive without sacrificing your mental, emotional, or physical well-being? The secret is to align your goals with your natural energy, and approach growth as an ongoing rhythm—not a frantic dash.

Budget Your Energy Like Your Money If something matters to you, make sure it gets a slice of your daily energy budget. Your energy ebbs and flows throughout the year. Be kind to yourself in the darker months and shorter days. No one has “summer energy” all year long.

Above all…be gentle with yourself. Your dreams are important—the process can be peaceful AND productive.

This week on the podcast listen to an excerpt from a conversation I had with Shabana Knight exploring what it means to dream bigger.

When you think of living an abundant life, how do you feel? What do you notice?

Is it possible that abundance is waiting for you, just beyond your “want list”?

Here are 3 key takeaways:

You’re more supported than you think. These moments remind us we don’t walk our paths alone, especially as we step into new seasons of life.

Healing and dreaming go hand-in-hand. The episode is a testament to moving past limitations, embracing abundance, and allowing ourselves to forgive, love, and dream bigger—sometimes beyond what we even know to want.

Community unlocks possibility. When we connect and encourage each other, we expand what’s possible for ourselves and those around us.

If you are interested in decluttering, organizing, or just a dose of positivity, you can find Shabana Knight on her podcast, Organized Chaos- Stories with Shabana

This week on the podcast, we are looking at the power of energy—from noticing it, to leveraging it for powerful decisions and desired results. If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, or simply want to create more ease and joy, this episode delivers actionable insights and heartfelt encouragement.

Here are 3 key takeaways.

Noticing Before Deciding: The step between “notice” and “decide” is crucial. Pause, breathe, and evaluate your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy BEFORE making decisions. Jumping into action with the wrong energy rarely serves us well.

Aligned Action Over Hustle: Instead of pushing forward while overwhelmed or exhausted, focus on finding aligned energy. Whether it’s rest, journaling, movement, or creative expression, intentionally restore and realign your energy before moving ahead.

Set Sustainable Goals: Give yourself permission to set timelines that truly feel manageable and safe—even if those goals are years away! By planning with ease and patience, you’re more likely to create lasting, vibrant results.

In this bonus episode, Coach Kelly Tibbitts explains how the Enneagram can help all of us understand the differences in how people think, feel, and act.

There are nine basic Enneagram types, and each type has three subtypes using a metaphor of nine people at a table, each with a unique perspective.

Each Enneagram type is influenced by neighboring numbers (wings).
For example: Type 3 may have Type 2 (helpful) or Type 4 (creative/feeling) energies.

Description of Each Enneagram Type

One: Strives to do the right thing for the right reason; internal rulebook; realization alleviates frustration with others.
Two: Heart-centered, present-focused, compliant; seeks external validation for actions.
Three: Future-focused, productivity and success-oriented; American culture often exemplifies Type 3 traits.
Four: Deeply connected to feelings, reflective, often artistic or musical.
Five: Detached from feelings, seeks information and logic, withdrawn; often seen as wise but less assertive.
Six: Thinking center, focused on safety and worst-case scenarios.
Seven: Thinking center, positive reframing, optimistic and focused on possibilities.
Eight: Assertive, body/gut-centered, champions for justice, strong energy.
Nine: Body/gut-centered, peacemakers, see all perspectives and seek harmony.

There are 3 Centers of Intelligence

Gut/Body (Types 8, 9, 1): motivated by instinct and internal knowing.
Heart/Feeling (Types 2, 3, 4): process the world through emotions.
Head/Thinking (Types 5, 6, 7): motivated by thought and logic.

Self-awareness enables appreciation of varying perspectives and methods, reducing team or family frustration.

Human design and self-awareness can shape the way we organize, declutter, and live the vibrant life we want to live.

In this episode, listen in on a conversation I have with Heather Dimick, host of the "What's that Whisper?" podcast. Our conversation focuses on practical tools for organizing your home and managing your energy based on your unique Human Design type.

Self-awareness leads to self-compassion.

When you understand yourself better, you can honor your own way of doing things without judgment.

How do you typically approach organizing at home or work?
- Do you make a plan?
- Do you pull everything out and then decide what to put back?
Consider one space you want to organize.
- What’s in the space?
- Is the space serving you? Are you at peace when you’re in that space?
- Notice your energy.
- Decide if you have the energy to clean one shelf, clean an entire closet or if it is best to spend twenty minutes in another way? Keep projects as small as your energy allows.

In this episode, Kelly shares an excerpt from a conversation from one of her live coaching sessions on our inherent worthiness; a reminder to each of us that we are loved, good, and made on purpose for a purpose.

We are valuable just for breathing in and breathing out. Recognizing your inherent worthiness and making that your guiding thought every day is a fundamental tool to move you towards a vibrant life, full of healthy love & acceptance of both self & others.

Main points:

You are made on purpose for a purpose!

You are good, loved, and valuable just for existing.

As we interact with others during the holidays, it's essential to remember that everyone's experiences and interpretations can differ.

Hope is the highlight of the Christmas story.

This week the podcast is focusing on the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus and remember that the good news of great joy is for ALL people.

Here are 3 takeaways:

True strength and significance are found in surrendering to God. Surrender can be tough—especially for those of us who like to be in control! Mary’s story reminds us of the power found when we say “let it be.” Believing that we are ambassadors of God’s love for the world is where we find our purpose and strength.

Your purpose and worth aren’t defined by what you do or what others say. It is easy to believe lies spoken over us. We all need someone in our life—like Elizabeth was for Mary—to remind us of who we really are and speak God’s truth over us.

God’s faithfulness gives us hope even in the hardest times. Whether you’re celebrating or struggling this season, the Christmas story reminds us that God is with us in every circumstance.

This week on the podcast, I reflect on the lyrics from “O Holy Night”. They are a powerful lens for exploring the true worth of our souls. Some of my thoughts came after reading a book by Lysa Terkurst. I have linked her book below.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Your soul’s worth comes from being loved by your Creator. Remember that our true identity and value aren’t determined by labels or the opinions of others, but by the love God has for each of us. “Our souls feel their worth”—that’s the central message of Christmas.
Healing happens when we replace lies with truth. So many of us walk around carrying labels put on us by others (not quite “enough”, unloved, unworthy). This episode encourages us to confront those lies, listen to what God says about us, and let go of anything that diminishes our value.
We’re called to love, encourage, and help others see their worth too. Especially during a season when many struggle, we can be the hands and feet of love—whether that’s sharing kindness, helping those in need, or simply being present and reminding someone of their value.

What do you truly want this holiday season?

In this episode, I share my insights from an online Cathy Heller event from November, where she encouraged us to tune into our most authentic, abundant selves.

This is so important, especially during the busy holiday stretch. As we move through the holidays, let’s ask ourselves what we truly want and intentionally align our thoughts and actions to create a vibrant, authentic life.

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

Get Clear on What You Want: Reflect and ask yourself, “What do I want?” Write it down! Whether it’s joy, peace, or abundance, being conscious of your desires opens you to receiving them.

Tune Your Thoughts Like a Radio: Identify the thoughts you want to keep on repeat to support your vision and energy.

Practice Receiving Abundance Daily: Simple rituals—like journaling, breathwork, nature walks, or prayer can be helpful.

This week on the podcast, I shared a conversation I had with Ellen Mailhot on what social energy is, insights on how to understand energy and some tools that help us manage our own social energy.

Here are 3 key takeaways for managing your social energy:

Recognize Your Unique Social Battery: Social energy is different from physical, mental, or emotional energy. Start to notice what drains or recharges your “social battery”—it could be the size of the crowd, the noise level, or even how comfortable your clothes are.
Use Mid-Event Tools—Don’t Just White-Knuckle It: Instead of toughing it out and recovering later, proactively use tools during events. Breathing exercises, stepping outside for a quick break, or even sensory grounding (like the “5-4-3-2-1” technique) can help you refuel in real time.
Give Yourself Permission to Set Boundaries: It’s okay to say “no” to events when your energy budget is low, or even leave early—no explanation required. Prioritizing your needs actually allows you to be more present with others in the moment, and reduces your need for recovery afterwards.

On this episode of the “Live A Vibrant Life Podcast,” Coach Kelly Tibbitts shares some practical tools and strategies to help you protect your energy, set boundaries with intention, and move through gatherings with more ease and joy.

Main Ideas:

Create a Personal Toolbox: Prepare go-to phrases, recovery plans, and power thoughts in advance so you’re empowered to handle challenging interactions and situations intentionally—not reactively.
Honor Your Energy Limits: Just like finances, your emotional, mental, and physical energy are finite. Schedule in rest and moments that bring you joy, and don’t hesitate to take breaks (even during events!) or bow out of draining situations.
Customize Your Approach: Your way doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Decide beforehand what you need for each event or gathering—whether as a guest or host—and give yourself permission to make aligned, self-respecting choices.

This week on the podcast, Coach Kelly has a discussion with Ellen Mailhot about the book "On Our Best Behavior" by Elise Lonan. Much of what we believe about productivity and “laziness” goes unchallenged.

Our thoughts about “sins” like sloth are actually holding us back from rest, joy, and meaningful work.

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

Rest is Essential, Not Earned: The belief that you have to "earn" your rest is outdated and counterproductive. Stepping away from this mindset can bring more energy and clarity to your work and life.
The Myth of Perpetual Productivity: Culturally, we've been conditioned to see constant busyness as a badge of honor, but research (and lived experience) shows this leads to burnout, not progress.
Redefining Worthy Work: Rest allows us to show up more fully for our purpose—at home, at work, or wherever our “worthiest work” lies. It’s not about doing less, but doing what matters most from a place of joy and alignment.

If you're struggling to build rest into your routine, you’re not alone—and you’re already worthy of it. For support on your journey, check out our group coaching. Let’s give ourselves permission to rest, recharge, and thrive!

What energy would you like this holiday season? I don't think any of us want to be frustrated, resentful, annoyed, or aggravated.

Take a listen and learn some strategies to increase a sense of peace and harmony inside you while also managing your energy budget during the holiday season and all year long.

Main points:

- Ex. Having a bunch of people in my home gives me emotional energy but drains my physical energy.
How can you protect your mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual energy? What practices and tools can you put in place?
Don’t pretend you have more energy than you do. How can you modify your normal energy budget to accommodate the changes caused by your holiday season?

This week on the podcast, Coach Kelly has a conversation with Aubri Gibb. Aubri is the host of Manifest Like A Mom on Spotify.

Kelly & Aubri talk about:

🔹 Presence: When rest and joy come before purpose-filled work, we give ourselves permission to slow down and be present, creating a foundation for better productivity and fulfillment.

🔹 Self-Awareness Tools: Tools like meditation, journaling, and exploring Human Design help all of drop self-critical narratives and embrace authentic energy.

🔹 Boundaries : Setting boundaries—especially as a parent or caregiver—not only protects our energy but also sets a powerful example for others, including our kids.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts from a few of my group coaching clients who have worked with me for the last 5 years. I am also sharing a listen a final session from my fall series “Manage Your Time and Energy”.

As we focus on getting BIG results by breaking down projects into small, actionable steps, know that every small step you take is moving you closer to the results you want.

One of the secrets of Living a Vibrant Life is to be continually moving in the direction we want to go without getting overwhelmed and depleted along the way.

Main Points:

Focus on one project at a time and figure out the next right steps.

Break each step into the smallest step needed so that they are doable for you.
Align those action steps with your available energy.
Notice how you’re feeling about each step. If you aren’t feeling good about it- it might still be too big of a step. OR you might be scheduling it at a time when you don’t have access to the right kind of energy needed.
Commit to 1-3 consistent, small steps at a time and expect to feel uncomfortable until it becomes a regular habit.
Celebrate small wins, and adjust course with kindness when life gets in the way.

Understanding and taking care of yourself is NOT selfish. Gratitude is Shabana's secret to being able to bring her most vibrant self, filled with golden light, into the world.

Key Takeaways: :

Give permission to be yourself: Honor the way you do life best. Protect your energy and say no when needed.
Notice with gratitude: Our lives are meant to overflow with love and light, making it easier to give to others without running on empty. You can’t do that if you don’t take care of yourself.
Allow your values to guide you: Create time for genuine rest, and other powerful practices (e.g., exercise, journaling, etc.)

Each of the five Human Design energy types (Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Reflector) has distinct energy patterns and communication styles.

By understanding what feels satisfying or frustrating (for Generators, for example) or what brings peace or anger (for Manifestors), individuals can better align their actions and communication, leading to more fulfillment and less wasted energy.

Manifestors are initiators—others feel their presence before they speak.
Communication: Clear, direct informing is essential. Manifestors should not assume others understand their actions; proactive communication prevents confusion or alienation.
Alignment Check: Notice if you feel peaceful (in alignment) or enraged (out of alignment).
Generators “move things along” and can work extensively when energized.
Communication: Authenticity matters. Generators should listen to their gut (the sacral response)—making sounds like “uh-huh” or “uh-uh” can help clarify true desires and satisfaction.
Alignment Check: Notice feelings of satisfaction (in alignment) versus frustration (out of alignment).
Manifesting Generators are the hybrid of generator and manifestor. They are fast, nonlinear, and enjoy juggling multiple interests and projects.
Communication: Share enthusiasm without overwhelming others with the full scope of your excitement. Hone in on what truly lights you up and communicate that succinctly.
Alignment Check: Similar to generators, attending to gut responses ensures decisions stay true to your energy.
Projectors “see” others deeply and often offer wise counsel.
Communication: Wait for invitations before sharing insights—unsolicited advice may be wasted or even resented. Invitations ensure that energy is well-received.
Alignment Check: Are your insights being invited and appreciated? Use this as your barometer.
Reflectors are the rarest type; open and reflective, sampling the energy of everyone around them.
Communication: Take your time (even up to a month) to process and respond. There is no need to provide immediate answers.

Alignment Check: Are you honoring your need for time and not succumbing to pressure for quick responses?

How often do the things that are truly important TO YOU get procrastinated or pushed out completely? How often do you put together your to do list without prioritizing or without considering your available time and energy?

Taking the time to think about how to match your time and your energy can make all the difference in reaching your goals and achieving the results you seek for your life. What’s truly important should show up on your calendar. On the face of it, that seems SO obvious. But are you really doing that in reality? And then berate yourself for not “getting it all done”? Take a listen and learn how to steer your calendar “ship” in a different direction.

Main points:

Make a chart of time, task, and thoughts for the major tasks in your life.
Use the three main categories of priorities: self care, responsibilities, relationships to sort the tasks.
Use your available energy - not imaginary energy, when creating your calendar.
Make sure there's a balance over the course of a month.
Consider what can be delegated, eliminated or modified.
Try to make these decisions with compassion for your future self.

As we pivot into fall, let's focus on our time and energy management and break free from the patterns that lead to exhaustion and depletion, confusion and self neglect.

The key to creating more balance, purpose, and joy in your life starts with a budget.

Just like we budget our money, we need to budget our time & energy and adjust to the changing seasons and demand of life.

Main Points:

As life seasons change, so should your system. Here are the five key steps:

Create Your Protocol. This is your time and energy budget.
Make a Plan. Use colors for different life areas and allocate blocks for each on your weekly calendar.
Choose one Priority. Focus on one priority per block of time.
Practice with small, regular, doable action steps.
Pivot regularly to check in and adjust your protocol as needed—weekly, monthly, and especially when life and/or seasons shifts.

Join Kelly as she speaks to a group of clients on building a personalized"toolbox" to help manage emotions, energy and relationships during the holiday season. Identifying specific tools for before, during, and after gatherings can help you focus on your mental and emotional well-being, ensuring the holidays are filled with joy and love instead of exhaustion.

Main points: .

Simplicity is key: It’s better to have a few effective tools than a large, overwhelming set that you can't remember to use.
As you plan, consider each occasion’s unique theme and adjust your tools accordingly.
- Ex. Choose different tools for hosting vs being a guest.
Decide on purpose what thoughts you want to keep on repeat.
Recognize your energy limits.
Practice accepting what you cannot change, especially what others think, feel and do!
Make sure to incorporate rest and recovery time & make time for joy filled moments.

What energy would you like this holiday season? I don't think any of us want to be frustrated, resentful, annoyed, or aggravated, which is a frequent mindset during the holiday season. We give lip service to the idea of “peace and harmony”, but how much effort do we each actually put into doing OUR part towards that end?

Many of us wait for a sense of peace passively, as if it's a state caused by life circumstances going well or based on what other people do, as if we are victims to the whims of the world and those around us. This is not accurate thinking!

Did you know that peace and harmony CAN begin inside you, regardless of your life circumstances? It’s a choice and an intention. Take a listen and learn some strategies to increase a sense of peace and harmony inside you while also managing your energy budget during the holiday season and all year long. .

Main points:

Practice choosing repeating thoughts that can create feelings of peace, harmony, and love.
Accept and notice that your energy is going to be affected during the holiday season; notice what brings vs drains your energy.
- Ex. Having a bunch of people in my home gives me emotional energy but drains my physical energy.
How can you protect your mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual energy? What practices and tools can you put in place?
Don’t pretend you have more energy than you do. How can you modify your normal energy budget to accommodate the changes caused by your holiday season?

Starting from a place of recognizing that you are 100% valuable and 100% loved, it’s critical to acknowledge the balance required in our lives. There is a fine interplay between taking action and allowing rest. Expanding this concept beyond caring for our physical bodies can serve us emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

Main points:

It takes intentionality to notice when effort is required and when we need to lean back and have a season (or moment) of ease
What are ten things you want to do in the next decade of your life that require effort?
Decide that effort means an opportunity to grow
Healthy growth won’t happen unless the effort is balanced with regular ease and rest

On this week's episode, I share how I've been trying to apply the lessons from the book The Four Agreements **to regulate my nervous system to stay in aligned energy.

As a way to remember the agreements, I am using four words integrity, immunity , knowing, and excellence.**

Main points:

Integrity - I like to think of integrity as a straight line - and on either side of it are the values that drive my decisions.
Immunity - don’t take things personally. Not taking anything personally for me looks like allowing the people in my life to think any thought, feel any feeling and do anything.
Knowing - There's a difference between knowing and assuming. How do we stop making assumptions? Stop to notice. Ask clarifying questions.
Excellence - Always do your best with the time & energy limits you have in each present moment. This can change dramatically and only you know what “your best” is from moment to moment, day to day.
- Sometimes “doing your best” is literally laying down and simply breathing in and breathing out.

**I've heard many people say thoughts like “I can't wait for the holiday to be over."

Are you one of them? Is that what you WANT to be thinking on repeat?

Did you know that it’s optional to have any thoughton repeat?

Our thoughts have a significant impact on our feelings and actions AND shape our experiences. Deciding in advance what power thought YOU want driving all of your feelings, decisions, and actions this holiday season can truly transform the season for you.

It’s a practice that can serve you all year long!**

Main points:

Notice your expectations that are driving your feelings and behavior- bring them to the light. Some you may not even have been aware of!
Notice what thoughts you’ve been having on repeat about the holiday season (maybe even unconsciously).
Resist trying to change other people’s thoughts, feelings, or actions. You have zero agency there. You are only in charge of YOURS.
Decide new power thoughts to replace unhelpful or unrealistic expectations and thoughts.
Choose one to start practicing using, and repeat it as many times as necessary until it becomes an automatic thought that serves you well, moving you towards the feelings and actions you desire for your holiday season and your whole life.

**Have you ever heard the phrase “don’t get tired of doing good”? (It’s from the Bible) Taken out of context, it is often misinterpreted as a call to not take care of yourself and to put others first at all costs.

That used to be me, too. However I’ve learned how to live out this verse in a way that doesn’t lead me to depletion, resentment, or burnout.

You CAN take good care of yourself and also serve others if you shift your mindset away from giving to others endlessly at your own expense. There is another way. You actually can do a better job at “doing good” and giving to others if you prioritize your own well being and become the best, healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself.

Take a listen and learn some basic small steps that can move you in that direction.**

Main points:

Create a system of decision making that allows you to say best the “yeses and nos” for you.
Practice leaning into our own inner wisdom to know what you need more or less of, to know when you need to rest, to know how to align your own energy, etc.
Decide that you are no longer going to grow weary doing things that are not yours to do.
Resist doing for people what they can and should do for themselves.
Keep your practice steps small enough that you can keep doing them on a regular basis.

Setting up systems to align thoughts, feelings, and actions can lead to desired outcomes - it’s improved my life dramatically. This takes work and time, but is well worth it! Creating a Decision Protocol has been a critical tool in my personal toolbox.

Main points:

Work to understand yourself as you truly are- it is a fundamental starting point for any efforts in self improvement.
Create a Decision Protocol to guide all your decision making. .
Identify question that you can ask yourself when making decisions, such as:
- Is this important to me?
- What do I want? Why do I want it?
- Will it save me time, energy, money?
- Will this help me relationally?
- What does aligned energy look like for me?
- Is there anything I would like to do differently?
- What do I want to say no to?
Make time to look back at previous decisions and notice what worked, what didn't work, and what you would do differently.

**Taking the time to think about how to match your time and your energy can make all the difference in reaching your goals and achieving the results you seek for your life. What’s truly important should show up on your calendar. On the face of it, that seems SO obvious.

But are you really doing that in reality? How often do the things that are truly important TO YOU get procrastinated or pushed out completely? How often do you put together your to do list without prioritizing or without considering your available time and energy? And then berate yourself for not “getting it all done”? Take a listen and learn how to steer your calendar “ship” in a different direction.**

Main points:

Make a chart of time, task, and thoughts for the major tasks in your life.
Use the three main categories of priorities: self care, responsibilities, relationships to sort the tasks.
Use your available energy - not imaginary energy, when creating your calendar.
Make sure there's a balance over the course of a month.
Consider what can be delegated, eliminated or modified.
Try to make these decisions with compassion for your future self.

Creating a budget for your time and energy can totally change your life.

On the podcast this week, I share a brief overview of the 5 steps and then help us focus on the value of making our plan in advance. It is so much easier to decide and do what is important to you, than it is to allocate energy throughout the day without a plan.

The 5 steps of my Time & Energy Management System:

Protocol - Create a protocol or budget for your time and energy.
Plan - Make a plan, decide in advance what to do each week, day, and hour.
Priority - Choose ONE priority/project at a time to move forward.
Practice - Decide small practice steps for your chosen priority.
Pivot- regularly reflect on your system and make changes to pivot as needed.

What changes in the Fall for you? Is your calendar serving you or are you serving it? If you feel like a slave to your calendar, it might be time to rethink what you are using it for and how it can better work for you.

It’s critical to make time to notice what’s working, what's not working and decide the small changes you can make so that your calendar work's better for you as we transition to fall. Take a listen and find out more!**

Main points:

Reflect on what it is you actually love and like, the things that you don't mind doing, and then things that you dislike or detest.
Notice the changes that occur in the Fall - to your responsibilities, your relationship, and your self care.
Decide power thoughts about your calendar to take control of it and align it with your available energy.
Practice small steps to adapt your calendar gradually.

In this episode, deepen your understanding of the importance of reflection. Reflection involves looking back, noticing the big picture, noticing your goals, noticing where your energy is going, noticing how you're doing. Once you notice those things, you have the power to pivot and make adjustments.

Main points:
- In order to give your important goals the time, energy, and resources needed, it’s critical to create what I call a protocol, which is a budget for your energy
- Creating plan in advance for how you want to spend my energy can transform your ability to create the results you seek
- But equally important is making time to look back and reflect on how your protocol is working for you (and making adjustments as needed)

How do you “desummer”? Is it time to pivot as the seasons change? Take a listen and consider how you can better take charge of your transition from Summer to Fall.

Main points:

Look back and reflect (without self judgment) on the goals you had at the beginning of summer.
- Notice what worked and what didn’t work.
- Note down if there is anything you'd like to change for next year.
Do you feel like you're ready for the transition to Fall?
Use my Energy Check In chart
- Do you notice any kind of natural energy shift as the daylight hours shrink?
How do the other changes, like food, sports, school schedules, etc. impact you and your energy?
Look at your next six weeks of your calendar, where will you be resting or enjoying your own life? Guard that time, put it into the calendar first.

Many of us think of “rest” as maybe a nap or just a break from what we're currently doing. However, there are many kinds of rest and it’s important to choose and practice the ones that are right for you. In this podcast, I'm offering nine different ways of thinking about rest that roughly correspond to the nine Enneagram types.

As none of us need to stay “stuck in the box” of our main type, we are also not “stuck” with just one version of rest. There likely are several types of rest that will work well for you in different circumstances. It doesn’t matter if you know your Enneagram type or not.

Take a listen and try out some new kinds of rest in your regular practice - see what a difference it can make in your life! Nine KInds of Rest

1 Gift yourself some time away

2 Give yourself permission to not be helpful

3 Be unproductive on purpose

4 Connect to art or nature

5 Make time for solitude

6 Let someone else make decisions and take responsibility

7 Allow stillness

8 Create a space you enjoy

9 Take time to journal & notice what you you’re thinking

Did you know that getting satisfaction from completing a task isn’t the same thing as enjoying the action of completing that task?

When considering what you “enjoy” in life, many of us squeeze out true fun and enjoyment by focusing on getting things done and checking things off our lists.

Getting things done is certainly important, however, checking things off our lists is not the same thing as “having fun”. Taking time to really consider what you actually enjoy, like, and love to do is not a trivial exercise.

Main points:

Noticing the nuance and creating balance in your life matters.
Take some time to consider what you actually enjoy, love, like, dislike, even hate.
Of course it’s not always possible to ONLY do the things you like or love, but that doesn’t mean those things should always be your lowest priority or pushed aside entirely.

In this episode, Kelly talks about the value we bring to our families as being so much more than how much money is on our paychecks. All work matters and is full of purpose - the work managing a home, the work caring for children or elderly parents, the volunteer/community work, AND the work you do that brings in money. And it is ALSO work to stay healthy and aligned so that you can pour into other people. It ALL matters! You bring more value than you may realize. Take some time to consider this. Decide that you are worth regular, intentional, committed self-care and the ongoing management of your thoughts & feelings.

Main points:

ALL work matters, but work is not ALL that matters.
You need rest AND play AND work.
You need to start with your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual rest to make sure that you are not exhausted, overwhelmed, and depleted.
Connect with your breath on an ongoing basis.
Remember - you have ZERO agency over the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others-you are only in charge of your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.
What do you want?
What do you want to stop doing?
What do you want to keep doing?
What's your priority? What comes first, second, third?

**Do you have the energy to create a summer FULL of all of the fun things you want to do? Are you noticing the yeses and the no's that you want to say?

In this episode, Kelly encourages us to reflect on what changes to make this season. It is worth taking time to consider our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy as we adapt to a summer version of our protocols.

Creating a summer protocol will help each of us maintain a healthy balance, as we managw our time & energy budgets.**

Main points:

Create a visual representation of your energy budget using a simple chart; it can help you stay on track and see where changes need to be made.
Find a pattern that works for you by focusing on the consistent elements in your week and adjusting accordingly.
Remember, many times in the summer, the different weeks need different protocols.

In this episode, you will hear live coaching call from the "INVEST in your Dream" program. In this sesssion, Coach Kelly will discuss the importance of the energy that lies in the step between what we notice and our decision making & planning.

Energy impacts our actions. Actions move us either closer to or further away from our dreams.

The transition from noticing to deciding must be done with the right energy to be impactful. Aligned energy allows us to choose the most effective tools to move us towards the fulfillment of our dreams.

Main points:

Visualize the energy you want to live in - what is the image or words that represent that energy to you? ( Abundant, Resilient, Peaceful?)
Identify your people - Name the people who lean into you and line up with your energy & your values.
Learn to notice when you are in aligned energy and when you are not.
- If you are not - take steps to realign yourself. Know what works for you.
- THEN, once aligned, make your decisions and do your specific planning.

Listen in on a conversation I had with Sherly Davis (Wellness in a Chaotic World) in which I tell my story of learning the Enneagram and how this self awareness tool changed my life for the better.

Main points:

The Enneagram helped me understand my primary motivations and primary fears. It gave me the ability to have more grace and compassion for others.
It also helped me learn to be kinder to myself about situations that I had beat myself up over in the past.
I learned that I process everything through my feelings, but that not everybody processes that way! It’s one of three ways, called the Center of Intelligence.
- 234 - feelings/heart
- 567 - mind/head
- 891 - body/gut
I also learned that my primary instinct is self preservation, which is also not everyone’s primary instinct! There are 3 underlying instincts, which further delineate the 9 types into 27 types.
- Self preservation
- Social
- One-to-One

As I’ve been sharing in the last few podcasts, The Working Genius is a powerful self awareness tool that can transform both your personal and your work life. In today’s podcast, I focus on the underlying motivations behind each genius. What things people in each genius crave or desire, and what things “crush them”.

Everyone, regardless of their working genius, craves to be seen, understood, and wanted. When you understand what specific things you crave and what crushes you, you can not only better identify your geniuses but also use that information to have more agency in your life - to work more productively, improve work and personal relationships, and avoid burnout.

Main points:

Understanding what motivations are behind each genius is vital to be able to use this information to improve your life and your relationships.
Wonder - craves being considered; crushed when dismissed.
Invention - craves freedom; crushed by constraints or when others jump in too soon.
Discernment - craves being trusted; crushed when told to “prove it”.
Galvanizing - craves reaction; crushed by apathy.
Enabling - craves appreciation; crushed by being overlooked.
Tenacity - craves clarity; crushed by ambiguity.

This week on the podcast I am sharing the audio from my recent workshop on the Working Genius pairings. You can look at the workshop workbook here.

**In the Working Genius model, each of us has 2 of the 6 geniuses (Wonder, Ideation, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity).

Therefore, there are 15 various combinations of genius pairs.

Because the geniuses play off each other and correspond to different stages of work, your unique pairing has implications for your impact on the team and what stages of work your contributions best fit.

Take a listen and see if you can identify your pair of geniuses. It can improve relationships, work effectiveness, and be truly life changing to know this about yourself and to believe in YOUR genius. !**

Main points:

Each of us has a pair of geniuses that make unique combinations that are expressed differently, depending on which genius is most dominant.
Are your two areas of genius at the beginning (ideation) of the work process? In the middle(activation)? At the end (finishing)? Split between stages?
Understanding your unique pairing can help you understand how and when you best can contribute at which stage of work
- Take note where you (and the team) would benefit from you backing off/stepping aside to allow others to step in.
- Instead of skipping over the steps that aren’t in your area of genius - collaborate with others!
This self awareness can help you not only be more productive but also can help keep your energy aligned and prevent you from burning out due to working in your areas of non-genius.

The Working Genius is a self awareness model created by Pat Lencioni that has transformed teams in the workplace and also personal relationships as well. Take a listen for an overview and start to discover your geniuses!

Main points:

There are 6 steps to getting work done, each of which correspond to the 6 “geniuses” - Wonder, Ideation, Discerning, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity.
Each of us typically has two areas of genius that bring us energy, two areas that frustrate and drain us, and two areas somewhere in the middle.
This podcast gives a high level overview of each genius. This introduction is a start to understanding your geniuses. It’s important to delve deeper to get true transformation.
Start by noticing which activities under each area bring you joy and energize you and which deplete your energy (or you dread even the thought of doing).

Come join me in my conversation with Sheryl Davis, from Wellness in a Chaotic World, as we discuss Pat Lencioni’s Working Genius, a game changing model of self awareness, not only for personal growth but for the health and dynamics of an entire team.

Main points:

6 steps to getting work done; 6 “geniuses” that correspond to each step
- Each of us in a genius in 2 of the 6 areas - natural abilities, brings more energy
- Each of us is competent in 2 areas - can do well, but more draining
- Each of us is frustrated in 2 areas - hard to function and highly draining
Aligning your work and the roles of each member of your team with these areas of genius can change individuals and teams in powerful ways-
- Projects get completed more efficiently
- Job satisfaction increases exponentially
- Burnout - GONE!

This week I am sharing transformative tools that have reshaped my approach to life's ups and downs. In the latest episode, I walk you through the powerful process of noticing your emotional and mental state, making aligned decisions and mastering the practice steps that lead to your desired results.

I believe there is a pause needed between the “Notice” & Decide” steps of my 3 step process. I encourage everyone to do this regularly - from a place of love, check in and see if your energy is aligned and if your nervous system is regulated before reacting to any situation or making any decisions about how to respond.

I'll share an experience with positive intelligence coaching that grounds you in the present moment.

Main points:

Check in with yourself before reacting to any situation.
Regulate your nervous system in a way that works for you.
Operate and respond from a place of calm.

Healthy self awareness changes everything!

I believe that transformation occurs when we embrace self awareness and grow in self love. It is the foundation of my coaching philosophy.

We live A Vibrant Life when we are healthy in all areas of life. Creating a personalized road map allows you to grow in self knowledge as you notice your strengths & weaknesses. Adding the “Manual of Me” to your toolbox of coaching tools allows you to navigate life, understand what makes you “tick” and create mutually flourishing relationships.

Main points:
- My favorite fundamental tools of self awareness include both the Working Genius and the Enneagram.
- These resources have helped me to understand why I think and feel and do life the way I do and why the people that I'm in relationship with think and feel and do life so differently from me.
- My idea behind the Manual of Me is that it is ever growing and evolving as you move through seasons of life- not something you make once and are done with it.

- You have the authority to decide how to prioritize what is important to you.
- Notice which spaces are most important to you. Find a neutral sentence to describe them rather than a judgmental sentence.
- Decide one priority at a time. Choose in advance 3-5 days to make small practice steps to move you forward.
- Take everything out, decide if it's serving you. Decide if you want to keep it.
- Practice saying goodbye to things.

Taking the time to create consistent practice steps to redefine the physical spaces in your home can lead to profound personal growth. In this episode, I share anecdotes and life coaching strategies that can guide your decision making as you create a home you love coming home to.

Main points:

The three steps that we use for any result we are seeking (Notice, Decide, and Practice) can be applied to improving your physical spaces.
Start by noticing the thoughts and feelings you have about your spaces (I cover this in more depth in episode #80)
- Consider first the spaces YOU are in control of - not the others you live with.
Do one small space at a time
Decide the energy/vibe you desire for that space
Choose 3-5 small actions that will move you in that direction
For each item, decide whether or not it’s still serving you.
- If it’s time to let it go, thank it and say goodbye

Have you ever stepped into a room and felt an instant sense of peace wash over you? That's what can happen when the spaces of your home mirror your values, and it's exactly what we're exploring today.

We'll discover how gratitude and generosity can impact not just our homes but our hearts.

Main points:

Do some thought work BEFORE taking action - take a careful look at your physical spaces; walk through your home slowly and notice the feelings and thoughts you have of each space - do they reflect your values?
- Do you enjoy being in that space? Is it “your friend”? Why or why not?
- Notice what you are most grateful for about each space
Then move on to your thoughts about the physical items -
- What are you grateful for?
- What are the” little things” that help you get the most out of your spaces? It can be as small as a favorite cup, or a certain blanket or chair when the sun hits it just right, etc.
What things are no longer needed or useful but are still there?

Feeling overwhelmed by the weekly grind of “simply” putting dinner on the table? Did you know that it’s not really that simple? This episode isn't about recipes and grocery lists; it's a candid discussion about the realities of feeding a family (or just yourself) amidst the whirlwind of life. I share simple tips and practical strategies to help avoid the last-minute scramble and make meal planning & prep a smoother and more peaceful part of your weekly rhythm.

Main points:
- Be aware of what I refer to as“emotional labor”- all the thoughts & feelings related to the activities needed to run a home, including putting dinner on the table.
- Meal planning seems simple, but it actually involves a lot of steps, all of which require mental energy and many of which require physical energy.
- Take some time to identify all the steps involved (e.g., planning, grocery shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning up).
  - Notice your thoughts and feelings about each one.
  - Consider balancing task division so no one person is stuck always doing the set of activities they hate.
  - Recognize that few people have high mental energy during the hour when dinner needs to be prepared.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of finding flow in our work instead of being in a constant state of frenetic energy. Multitasking feels productiive, but in reality we're just bouncing around like a ping-pong ball, eventually exhausting ourselves.

On the podcast this week we talk about the work to slow down & do one thing well

Main points:
- It takes work to begin to do something you don’t know how to do
- Do one thing, do it well, move on
- Align your time and energy

Have you ever considered that the secret to increasing your productivity might actually involve slowing down? In this episode, I share both the reasoning behind the idea of slowing down your brain and practical tools to help you do it! Join me in embracing the gentle power of peaceful productivity.

Main points:
- Notice that different levels of energy are needed in different seasons - not just weather season, but seasons of life, career, and activities
- Notice what things bring you energy and what things exhaust you
- Acknowledge that chaotic, chronic, urgent energy negatively impacts your health, decreases effectiveness, and increases mistakes
  - Rushing doesn’t lead to getting more done - just making more mistakes and costing more time in the long run!

You can’t change what you don’t notice. Pay attention to the fact that different seasons require different protocols, rhythms and energy

We can’t just breathe in - we must breathe out as well. In the same way, we can’t always be running/doing at the same pace. Must lean in slower rhythms at certain times and in certain seasons of our lives - winter, illness, transition, grief, etc.

- Notice and decide what kind of energy you want to be in
- Practice Sabbath- taking 24 hours a day each week to slow down and rest
- Do regular breathing exercises to anchor you to the moment

- Prioritize winter light - lean into it instead of wishing it away
- Make one tranquil corner
- Add smells that soothe and bring comfort
- Consider a hobby that celebrates life’s simple joys

Picture this: you’re at the cusp of summer, feeling the autumn breeze and you know it's time to set new goals.

But where do you start?

Let's shed light on how you can align your energy, harness your thoughts, and make the transition smooth and successful in the next 30-60 days.

Fall can make many of us feel like we're constantly running. Without a clear plan, we can end up "running on empty", drained by endless to-do lists and pressing goals.

This is where self-awareness, self-love & self-care come into play.

With my personal experiences as a guide, we'll explore effective strategies for keeping your motivation intact, while also emphasizing the importance of rest and play to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

With summer around the corner, it's time to inject some intentional fun and growth into the season.

Can you recall a time when you consciously stepped back, noticed your life, and decided to say 'yes' to what truly matters and 'no' to what doesn't?

That’s precisely why I created the "Live a Vibrant Life" coaching program.

I love to share the tools I have created on my personal journey that led to a life brimming with vibrancy.

This episode underscores the importance of self-awareness in decision-making.

Self-awareness holds a mirror to life, asking us to reflect on our thoughts, feelings, and commitments and encouraging us to focus and let go as required.

This week we discover how the simple practices of morning pages and artist dates can spark joy in everyday life.

So, gear up to make this summer a season of growth, fun, and intentional living!

S**ummer always feels like it goes by so quickly.

Sometimes a whole summer goes by and I wonder why I didn’t do more fun things.

Summer is supposed to be light and fun, isn't it? It was when I was a kid. When did that stop?

Why did it stop?**

**This year, I have decided to be intentional and put the fun back into my summer!

Are you ready to live a Vibrant Life?

You experience a vibrant life when you decide to invest your energy in the part of life you have authority over, which is :

your thoughts
your feelings
your actions

Accepting what we CAN'T change or control is a crucial first step. ( we are not in charge of what others think, feel, or do!! Frustrating, right?)

Coaching can help you discern what's needed - acceptance or courage. That's where wisdom comes in. But it takes a lot of practice!

Once you start making progress, you’ll start to notice there is a ripple effect of growing self-awareness that has a far-reaching impact.

You are worth the work, time, and effort it takes to be self-aware and transform your life!

When you invest in yourself, EVERYONE gets the best of you!

The Enneagram helps us understand WHY our time and energy focus is the way it is.

Humans need future, present & past focus of energy- but we are unbalanced, ( and lean into one focus), until we become self-aware.

Noticing what energy focus is easiest for you to access or what is hard to access is another layer of clarity.

3,7,8 Future-Focused

Strongest at the start; can see the end.
Find it hard to do the work in the middle
Find it hard to finish and review

4,5,9 Past-Focused

Strongest at finishing
Starting is the hardest part-momentum needs to build
Very good at the review at the end

1,2,6 Present Focused

Strongest in the middle
Can execute once a plan is in place, but often find it hard to get started
Find it hard to finish and review

**Decide to focus on one important result- a priority-that you are seeking to work towards, then decide on small action steps that will move you toward your chosen priority.

2-3 small action steps per day, 3-5 days per week can help you move towards a vibrant life!**

The first few minutes are a bit hard to hear, but hang in there and you can learn my Sticky Note System.

Decide to invest your energy and create results this spring.

What could your life look like when you notice and invest your energy?

Energy management is important because not all hours of the day are of the same value. Two o'clock in the morning is not high energy time for most people.

Not only do we have different amounts of energy, but we also have different energy on different days based on the energy we used the day before.

When you begin to track your energy, it turns out it's not exactly the same every day. Notice your mental, physical, and emotional energy by naming it with a color
( green, yellow, and red ) for a couple of weeks.

In general, most people have three to five high-energy hours a day.

Our goal with is to Live A Vibrant Life and choose to invest our energy into our purpose. I hope this week's podcast is helpful for you as you learn to do this.

Have you wondered what is needed to live A Vibrant Life?

Coach Kelly Tibbitts shares the steps on the journey to a life where we are Healthy in Every Season.

The Serenity Prayer is the starting point. It is where we notice what we need to accept to create serenity or peace in our lives.

Then we notice the need for courage to think the thoughts, feel the feeling, and do the action steps to create important results.

Finally, we grow with small practice steps as grow in self-awareness.

Life Coach Kelly Tibbitts shares a short overview of the Enneagram-
What is the Enneagram- Ennea (9) Gram ( diagram)

Each number has two instincts that they usually use and one that is not common. social, self-preservation, and 1 to 1

Enneagram types are referred to by a number

The 9 numbers are grouped in groups of three, and these groups, called triads, can be useful to explain energy, position to time, and our center of intelligence.

Triads- are how we process and respond to events or information.

Centers of intelligence

Mind ( 5, 6, 7)
Heart ( 2,3,4)
Gut (8,9,1) Instinct

The Energy triad-

Aggressive Energy is focused on the future (3,7,8)
