All Things Excellence

This week on All Things Excellence, I’m sitting down with my friend and client Nikki—an Enneagram 3, a powerhouse in tech sales, and truly a servant hearted impactful leader.

Nikki leads a high-performing sales team, closes multi-million dollar deals, and still manages life as a wife, mom of a four-year-old, and Aussiedoodle x2 wrangler. But behind all of that achievement? There’s a depth and emotional intelligence most people miss when they only see the success.

We talk about:

• What it’s really like to lead as a Three without needing the spotlight
• The quiet ache of wanting to be recognized—but not knowing how to ask
• What it feels like when your image cracks (and how to bounce back with grace)
• Why failure hits different for a Three—and how Nikki’s learned to move through it
• The gift (and growth edge) of letting people behind the curtain

This episode is raw, real, and surprisingly tender. If you love a Three, lead a Three, or are a Three—this conversation is a must.

We also cover the importance of affirmation (hellooooooo compliment sandwich), what to do when your inner overachiever gets a lil stress and yes—even giving yourself some grace for grabbing Ben & Jerry's as your numb of choice.

This week on All Things Excellence, I sit down with THE Erin Claire Jones, a leading voice in the human design space and now officially published author of How Do You Choose?—a grounded, story-rich guide that brings human design out of the charts and into your daily relationships, parenting, and purpose.

We dive deep into:

• What human design really is—and why it’s more than just another personality test.
• How understanding my 3/6 projector profile changed everything from my marriage to my burnout cycles.
• The friction (and freedom) of being married to a 2/4 projector with mental authority—and how design helped us parent and partner with compassion.
• Why Erin wrote the book the way she did—and how you can finally understand your type, strategy, and authority in a way that feels relatable and real-life.

We also talk about:

• Parenting by design—why your kid’s bedtime resistance might actually be in their chart.
• Why some people need to talk it out to process decisions (ahem, my husband).
• The myth of “waiting” for projectors—and how invitations can be created with clarity and alignment.

This episode is packed with warmth, laughter, and deeply practical wisdom for anyone curious about how to live, work, and love in full alignment.

Erin’s new book How Do You Choose? is available now—grab it for yourself and your family. You’ll never look at your relationships the same again.

In today’s episode of All Things Excellence, I’m joined by someone I’ve had the honor of coaching through many seasons of life. Tiffanie is an Enneagram 2 to her core: wildly generous, deeply thoughtful, and wired to help.

In this episode, we unpack what it’s really like to live as a Type Two: the hidden resentment, the unspoken expectations, the guilt around rest, and the fear that asking for help makes you “too much.” Tiffanie gets honest about her own journey—from corporate employee to entrepreneur—and how discovering her Enneagram type completely shifted how she shows up for herself, her business, and the people she loves.

You’ll hear real stories, real struggles, and real tools for healing. Whether you're a 2, love a 2, or lead someone like Tiffanie, this episode will help you understand the complexity of being needed and learning to need others.

After coming out of a season of deep healing for YEARS after extreme burnout in 2016, I realized joy wasn’t something I could hustle my way back to—it had to be chosen and something I intentionally created space for. In this solo episode, I’m sharing the five things I’ve recently stopped doing in order to feel more aligned, more energized, and honestly … more me.

From chasing outcomes and over-working to helping in places that drain me, I talk about the shifts that changed everything. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feeling off, this is for you.

I’m talking about:

• Why I stopped believing more work equals more income
• The moment I let go of trying to please everyone
• What happened when I said no to misaligned relationships and roles

This episode is a peek into the clarity I had to fight for ... and the peace I’m finally living in.

We’re continuing the Enneaspring series with a deep dive into the mind of an Enneagram One—where perfection meets pressure and peace feels hard-won.

In this episode of the series, I’m joined by my friend Anna Marie—an Enneagram One who’s been using the enneagram in her marriage and career since 2018. Together, we unpack what it really feels like to live with a ruthless inner critic, why feedback can feel personal, and how she’s learned to chase excellence without burning out.

From career shifts to nightly reset rituals (mouth tape and all), this episode is packed with real talk, laughter, and powerful insights for Ones—and the people who love them.

What We Cover:

• How Ones experience criticism (internally and externally)
• The role of resentment, rules, and responsibility
• Daily practices that bring calm and clarity
• Why structure is soothing (not suffocating)

You might think you know your Enneagram type… but what if you've been mistyped?

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact six-step process I use during my Enneagram typing sessions. After coaching and studying this for 8 years, I’ve seen just how often people mistype themselves. In fact, over 67% of people test as the wrong type!

This episode is packed with personal journey's and insights from my clients over the years. Here’s what we’ll explore together:

• The top 3 reasons you might be mistyped
• Why stress, security, and your environment can totally throw off your results
• How the Enneagram helps you communicate better, eliminate drama, and meet your people with more grace

Even if you already know your type, this will deepen your understanding—not just of yourself, but of the people around you. Because when we understand the why behind behavior, everything shifts.

This week on All Things Excellence, I’m bringing you behind the scenes into one of the most transformational tools we’ve used in our marriage: the Enneagram. I'm joined by my husband, Kobi — our most-loved guest — to share how understanding our Enneagram types changed everything for us.

As a certified Enneagram coach (and someone who's obsessed with uncovering what drives human behavior), I’ll walk you through how Kobi and I, an Enneagram 8 (The Challenger) and an Enneagram 9 (The Peacemaker), learned to navigate communication, conflict, emotional bandwidth, and deep-rooted patterns—without using the Enneagram as a sword or a shield. Instead we use it as a daily tool to have greater excellence in our communication in all areas of life.

In this episode, we’re sharing the raw, the hilarious, and the deeply real parts of how two very different wiring systems found a way to not just survive—but thrive with full respect—together. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in your relationships, if you’ve ever wondered why you and your partner (or previous partners) clash or freeze, or if you’re curious about how the Enneagram could change your marriage/relationships, this one’s for you.

From not being able to finalize colors for the branding on my website … to not knowing the correct undertone to cover up the grays without making me look washed out and Twilight pale. My color branding session cleared all of this up and gave me way more than I was anticipating.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my inner circle people and color/style analysis expert Andrea Mead … the woman who helped me unlock a completely new level of love for myself in how I show up. We talk about why your inherent colors aren’t just about looking good—they’re about aligning your energy, your presence, and even your business with who you really are.

We also unpack:

• Why the RIGHT undertone for more hair made me start feeling more magnetic
• Why some colors feel off—and how to choose the ones that reflect your true vibe [ and emotional intelligence level ]
• How boutique owners, stylists, and coaches can use color strategy to grow their businesses from a place of power, not force

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, something’s not clicking with this outfit, this episode will speak to you. Because sometimes confidence doesn’t start with mindset ... it starts with attire. In the words of my soccer coach husband, "when you look good, you feel good ... and when you feel good, you PLAY good!"

Hey, All Things Excellence fam—welcome back to Part Two of The Books That Shaped Me. This episode is personal. These five books carried me through one of the most tender, transitional, defining and relaunching seasons of my life.

From the moment I landed in Arizona, fresh off a major move, a heartbreak I didn’t choose, and the unraveling of what I thought was safe ... I was searching for something that would help me heal and relaunch into my next best era. What I found were books that did more than educate and inform ... they transformed me.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

• Why Atomic Habits was the first book I picked up in my new home—and how it reset my rhythm
• How It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way helped me grieve a friendship loss I couldn’t explain
• The way Overcoming Underearning uncovered my money patterns and helped me stop sabotaging
• What I See You gave me when the weight of being the breadwinner knocked the breath out of me
• Why 10x Is Easier Than 2x is helping me clean house and let go of what no longer fits in this next chapter

These aren’t just book recs. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how I’ve been becoming the clarity coach I am today—page by page, tear by tear, and breakthrough by breakthrough.

If you’re in a season of transition, growth, or just feel like something’s shifting… I have a feeling one of these books will speak directly to your soul.

And if you’re wondering what book might be right for you right now, I’d love to help. Book a 30-minute Intro Clarity Session with me at chelseydbc.com and together we can find the one that meets you where you are.

You can feel lonely in a crowded room.

In this episode of All Things Excellence, I sit down with powerhouse Annie Joy—a speaker, coach, and community builder helping moms move through loneliness with courage and clarity. From two divorces and solo parenting to miscarriages, Annie opens up about the quiet ache of feeling disconnected—even in a room full of people.

We explore:

• The link between loneliness and unhealed worth wounds
• Why women stay too long—in jobs, gyms, or friendships—for the connection
• What happens when you mistake validation for love
• The shift from codependence to confidence
• How to hold space for alignment and still feel alone
• What it really takes to choose yourself after heartache

This episode is filled with raw moments, gut-laughs, and permission slips you didn’t know you needed. Annie is not just the ultimate hype-girl—you’ll hear why she’s a “worthiness extractor” and why her women’s retreats and Kindness Camps are transforming lives.

Whether you’re in a relationship and feel unseen, or you're single and wondering if you're just too much or not enough—this conversation will feel validating.

Plus, we talk about how loneliness is sometimes a sacred invitation back to yourself—and back to God.
