  • From Burnout to Breakthrough | The Books That Saved (and Shaped) Me

    Y’all, this one was way harder than I expected. For this episode of All things Excellence, I sat down thinking I’d just talk about the top development books over the past 15 years that shaped me—but what actually happened was a full-on emotional excavation. This episode turned into a walk through some of the hardest, most pivotal seasons of my life. And the books? They were the anchors, the mirrors, the mentors that helped me make sense of it all.

    I’m sharing the ones that truly changed me—not just as a coach or entrepreneur, but as a woman. You’ll hear the stories behind the stories. The conference I read Failing Forward for. The chapter in The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth that made me pack up my life and move states. The page in H3 Leadership that cracked my burnout wide open. And so many more.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like you’re outgrowing your own life, I think this conversation is going to land deep.

    I also give you my 7 personal rules for reading—because if you know me, you know I don’t just read books. I live them.

    Inside this episode:

    • The exact books that shaped me as a leader, coach, and human
    • The pages that triggered my biggest move and business growth
    • Why I believe books are some of our most sacred souvenirs of growth

    And if you’re wondering what book you should be reading right now—I’d love to help. Book 30-minute intro clarity call with me and we’ll find the book (or the next step) that fits your season.

  • Aligned, Anointed & Unapologetic | Building a Kingdom Business with Christine Hartmann

    This week on All Things Excellence, I'm joined by my powerhouse friend Christine —cortisol coach, podcast host, and kingdom-driven business builder. And let me just say... this episode is a deep breath for your soul and your strategy.

    We’re talking about what it really looks like to build a business with God at the center—especially in a world that often asks us to either water down our faith or hide it completely. Christine shares her journey through multiple business pivots, the key questions she asked before saying yes to her current company, and how aligning with God’s voice (instead of the hustle) radically changed everything.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • The difference between striving and surrendering in business
    • How to stay unapologetically faith-led without being polarizing
    • What it means to operate from divine alignment, not burnout
    • Why obedience unlocks overflow—even when it doesn’t make sense
    • The heart behind her Kingdom Business Blueprint and how it’s flipping the script on success

    If you've been feeling the nudge to go all-in on your God-given calling—but you’re not sure what that really looks like—this conversation is your confirmation.

  • Are You Even Happy? Uncover the Life You Actually Want

    Have you ever found yourself saying, “Nothing’s working … I am NOT happy or having fun … and I honestly don’t know what I want”?

    Absolutely been there—and so have MANY of the women I coach. In this episode, I’m picking up where we left off last week, diving into Pillars 2 through 4 of my time and life alignment framework. These are the exact tools and steps I use with clients (and myself!) to move from spiraling to so aligned it feels like peace.

    We’ll walk through:

    1. How to get clear on your core values (and how mine shape everything from marriage to career moves)
    2. What to do when your dream life and current goals are out of sync
    3. The real reason you’re stuck—and how to shift into momentum with stretch goals
    4. The exact tools and habits that help bring your dream life to life

    If you’re sitting there thinking, “I don’t know what I want, but I know I can’t keep doing this”—this episode is for you. We’re not just talking strategy, we’re talking soul-level clarity.

    Let’s get you unstuck and lit up again.

  • How to Write Emails That Convert Without Feeling Cringey with Breanna Owen

    Never ever will I forget the season of my life where I felt like no matter what I did or how the pivots I made … I wasn’t getting the conversion I wanted for my business in my social media and email marketing.

    In this episode of All Things Excellence, I’m joined by Breanna Owen, Email Energetics Expert! We dive into why your emails, social posts, and messaging might not be landing—and how aligning it with your Human Design can change everything.

    Get ready to join me on the next step of my never ending wild journey — and how understanding my energetic blueprint helped me finally create copy that feels good to send and actually works uniquely for me and who I’m designed to attract as clients.

    Whether you’re in sales, coaching, or running your own creative business, this conversation will give you the clarity (and permission) you didn’t know you needed.

    Inside This Episode:

    1. What are “email energetics”
    2. Why your copy isn’t converting
    3. How to align your marketing with your Human Design
    4. Why “being yourself” is the best strategy

  • Why You’re Always Rushed: How Mindset Matters More Than a Planner

    Let’s talk about why your kind of a shiz show running raged hair on fire and never quite getting the stuff done you want to. In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics, something I’ve been coaching on for over 15 years and quite literally grew up around the structure of it. We are going to talk a lil bit about time management. But spoiler alert: the first pillar of time management has nothing to do with planners or productivity hacks. It starts with your mindset.

    I’m breaking down how your upbringing, Enneagram type, culture, and even past jobs all shape your relationship with time—and how that impacts the energy you bring into every room. Whether you’re constantly running behind, living in chaos, or overextending yourself just to prove your worth, this episode will help you pause and ask: What do I really believe about time? And what do I want that to look like instead? With my current conditioning will I ever ALLOW myself to absorb the habits around time management that lead to success?

    This is about shifting from frazzled to focused. From doing all the things for everyone else to finally creating a schedule that reflects your values, vision, and version of success.

    Got questions about life, business, the Enneagram, or just need some clarity? Head to https://www.chelseydbc.com/unscripted and drop your question—I'll answer it on the podcast anonymously. Let's work through it together.

  • The Power of Being Seen: Unlocking Self-Trust with Shauna VanBogart

    What if someone could look at a photo of you and reflect back your deepest truths?

    This week on All Things Excellence, I’m joined by the brilliant and deeply intuitive Shauna Van Bogart — a performance and business coach who has turned a lifetime of insight and business acumen into a powerful tool for transformation. Shauna shares how her “party trick” of reading people became the life-changing Photo Read process that’s helping women all over the world reconnect with their power, purpose, and next aligned step.

    We talk about breaking old patterns, the difference between burnout and aligned hustle, and what it means to be seen — truly seen — without judgment. She opens up about her journey of stepping away from a successful business to follow an unexplainable pull toward her gift, and the courage it took to reintroduce herself to the world in a new way.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming… this episode is your invitation to trust the nudge, listen in, and maybe even try a Photo Read of your own.

    1. What the PARA Technique is and how it can shift your patterns
    2. Why our “party tricks” often hold the keys to our purpose
    3. What it feels like to step fully into alignment — and how to know when it’s time
    4. The power of emotional hygiene (and what it changed in my life)

    You’re closer to your own brilliance than you think.

  • Why Your Marketing Is Not Converting with Robyn Moore

    This week in All things Excellence Podcast, buckle up because it's about to get REAL. I invited my friend and marketing ignitor/coach Robyn Moore on the podcast, and let’s just say I've got a vulnerability hangover.

    We’re diving deep into why your marketing isn’t converting, why niching down is more important than ever in 2025, and how to stop "should-ing" on yourself.

    If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in business, undervaluing your work, discounting your services, or spinning your wheels trying to reach the "right" people—this episode is hands DOWN for you!

    Robyn isn’t here to fluff you up, but to tell you the truth about:

    • Why psychographics are OUT and value-based marketing is IN
    • The real reason your marketing isn’t working (and what to do instead)
    • How I realized I was giving away my expertise for free—without even knowing it
    • Why not everyone needs social media to build a thriving business
    • How to charge what you’re worth and stop playing small

    Plus, we talk about the uncomfortable but necessary shifts we both had to make to align our businesses with our true value (and let go of what wasn’t serving us).

    If you’re ready to market with clarity, confidence, and alignment, you need this episode.

About All Things Excellence

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to All Things Excellence by Chelsey DeBruin-Colbert, the podcast dedicated to exploring what drives us to step into greatness, unlock our genius, and sometimes stumble along the way. For over 30 years, I’ve been on a journey of personal growth, digging deep into the “why” behind our actions. Through books, conferences, mentors, and coaching women in sales and leadership, I’ve learned that excellence isn’t just about strategies—it’s about the stories, traumas, and transformative moments that shape who we are.
