All Things Excellence episodes

  • EP 95: Leading with Clarity, Self-Trust & Joy

    In this episode of All Things Excellence, I’m sharing my strategy and story behind my business ecosystem's current evolution. I’m walking you through how burnout, deep identity work, coaching, and nervous-system healing brought me back to my truest self … and what it looks like to build my business around my life, not force my life to fit inside my business.

    We’re talking about what happens when you realize you’ve been living in obligation instead of intention ... and how powerful it is to stop and ask, What do I actually want my life to feel like? From redefining success and restructuring my work hours, to evolving my brand, podcast, and coaching offers, this episode is all about aligned leadership and sustainable growth.

    You’ll hear what’s coming next for All Things Excellence: the shift to intentional weekly episodes, leadership-focused conversations, Enneagram in business, money identity work, and creating spaces where women in leadership don’t have to grow alone.

    If you’re a woman in leadership or business who loves growth but is craving more ease, better boundaries, deeper alignment, and joy in the process ... not only is this episode for you ... but you've officially landed in the right place for support as a whole.

    You don’t have to abandon yourself or your family to succeed. You get to build a life and a business that support each other.

  • EP 94: Annual Marriage Reset | Year-End Reflection, Alignment & Goal Setting

    In this episode of All Things Excellence, I’m bringing my husband, Kobi, on the podcast to walk you through our annual marriage reset. It's the exact process we use to reflect on the year, realign as a couple, and intentionally step into the next season.

    We talk through the five things we do every single year to end the year well, including a full life reset, a true shutdown from work, our eight areas of alignment, calendar planning, and an honest financial review. We also get real about what stretched us, what we’re most proud of, how we handle conflict, and what we want to stop, continue, and enhance moving forward.

    This is a real, unscripted conversation between an Enneagram 8 and an Enneagram 9, navigating ambition, rest, faith, finances, and marriage with intention.

    If you’re looking for a grounded way to do a year-end review, set goals as a couple, and start the new year aligned? This episode is for you.

  • EP 93: How Women of Excellence Plan with Intention with Sarah Founder of Sol Planners

    In this episode of All Things Excellence, I’m sitting down with Sarah, the founder of Sol Planners, to talk about how women of excellence actually close a year and step into the next one with intention.

    We go all the way back to the birth of her very first planner in 2018, and she shares the real behind-the-scenes: the pivot, the faith, the “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway” courage… and how a planner became a tool to help women stop living divided and start living aligned.

    If you’ve felt like life kinda lived you this year, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale — practical, soulful, and full of permission to slow down, reflect, and create a new year that actually matches what matters most.

  • EP 92: Ending The Year with Clarity | What to Release, Reclaim, and Refine

    It’s been a minute since I recorded a solo episode, and y’all… everything has shifted.

    In this end-of-year reflection, I’m sharing the leadership lessons, identity shifts, and clarity that came from the last three months by hiring the right coach, uncovering patterns from long term toxic relationships, releasing the “helper” role, and fully stepping into leadership as an Enneagram 8.

    We’re talking active vs. passive growth, boundaries without burnout, hustle with integrity, and how women in leadership can lead with clarity, self-trust, and excellence without losing themselves in the process.

    This episode is for the woman who’s already been doing the work and knows she’s ready for her next level. As we close out the year and move toward 100 episodes, my hope is that you give yourself credit, hold yourself accountable, and don’t give up on what you’re called to build.

  • EP 91: Ones | Enneagram & The Holidays with Anna Marie

    In the final episode of our Enneagram & The Holidays series, I brought back one of my inner circle friends Anna Marie, our Enneagram One. And listen… this conversation is such a breath of fresh air for anyone who feels the pressure to “do the holidays right.”

    We get into all the things Ones secretly carry during this season. The desire to make everything perfect, the beauty of nostalgic traditions, the boundaries that protect your peace, and the freedom that comes from finally saying no to what doesn’t serve you. We talk decorating, family dynamics, low-key Christmas dreams, and why skipping the alcohol might make the whole season smoother.

    If you’re a One, you’ll feel so validated. And if you love a One, you’ll understand them on a whole new level.

    A beautiful, honest wrap to the series and the perfect invitation to make the holidays feel like yours!

  • EP 90: Twos | Enneagram & The Holidays with Becky

    The holidays were basically made for Enneagram Twos … and that’s both the gift and the challenge.

    In this episode of All Things Excellence, I’m joined by Becky an Enneagram 2 who has done the real work to talk about what it actually looks like to be a Helper during the holidays. We unpack the double-edged sword of being needed, why boundaries matter more now than ever, and how Twos can slip into resentment or burnout when they give without receiving.

    We talk about over-functioning, people-pleasing, saying no without guilt, and why your worth is not measured by how much you do for everyone else. This conversation is honest, tender, and deeply practical ... especially if you’re navigating family dynamics, travel, or the pressure to make everyone’s holiday magical.

    If you’re an Enneagram 2 (or love one), this episode is an invitation to slow down, receive, and remember: this is your holiday too.

  • EP 89: Threes | Enneagram & The Holidays with Savanna

    In this episode of the All Things Excellence Podcast, we keep rolling through our Enneagram & The Holidays series with my Savanna — who thought she was a Two for five months… until real life, a new business, and holiday adventures revealed the truth: she is absolutely, undeniably a Three.

    We talk about what it’s like to navigate your very first holiday season truly seeing yourself through the lens of an Enneagram 3 — the box-checking, the pressure to “do it all,” the overstimulation, the shame storms, the desire to show up for everyone, and the crash that follows when you’ve done too much.

    We take a hilarious and unexpectedly therapeutic detour into marriage dynamics with Enneagram 9 husbands (you’re welcome), why the Elf on the Shelf is a setup for threes everywhere, and what it actually looks like to build traditions that feel like you instead of trying to perform your way through December.

    If you’re a Three — or you love a Three — this episode is going to feel like a warm hug, a permission slip, and probably a little marriage counseling.

    Press play. Let’s grow, laugh, and be human together this holiday season.

  • EP 88: Fours | Enneagram & The Holidays with Annie Joy

    We’re continuing the Enneagram and the Holidays series on the All Things Excellence podcast, and today I’m sitting down with one of my favorite Enneagram Fours on the planet, Annie Joy.

    If you’ve ever loved a Four, this episode is a warm hug, a truth bomb, and a cozy couch moment all at once. We talk about the emotional rainbow Fours experience, the ache of nostalgia, navigating the holidays as a single mom, and what it looks like to shift from envy to admiration during a season that tends to amplify every feeling.

    Annie brings her depth, her fire, and her signature honesty about motherhood, traditions, loneliness, joy, and finding beauty in unexpected places.

    Whether you are a Four — or you love one — this conversation will help you see their heart more clearly and give every Four permission to feel all their feelings without shame. Grab something warm, settle in, and let’s keep walking through the holidays with compassion, connection, and excellence.

  • EP 87: Fives | Enneagram & The Holidays with Stephanie

    In this episode of the Enneagram & The Holidays series on the podcast, we’re hanging out with my fellow deep diving Enneagram Five friend, Steph — aka the professor/researcher who once swore she was a Three.

    We talk about what it’s like to realize you’ve been mistyped for years, how owning her true Five-ness completely shifted her career and happiness, and why Fives wake up with a finite amount of energy (and absolutely no interest in being your free party trick or small-talk machine).

    From overstimulating holiday parties and managing limited social batteries, to the quiet magic of twinkle lights, Die Hard on the couch, and actually feeling content for the first time in years — this conversation is honest, funny, and deeply validating for every Five (and everyone who loves one).

    If you’re a Five, love a Five, or you’re trying to figure yourself out this holiday season, this episode will give you language, permission, and a whole lot of compassion.

  • EP 86: Sixes | Enneagram & The Holidays with Paula

    In today’s Enneagram & The Holidays series, we’re hanging out with my girl Paula—our fiercely loyal, deeply thoughtful Enneagram Six who sees every possible pit hole we could fall into (and saves us from ourselves on the daily).

    We talk traditions, anxiety spirals, doomsday prepping, sentimental tchotchkes, holiday tamales, and navigating the tension between wanting to be with your people… and also wanting to stay home in pajamas with your dog.

    If you’re a Six, love a Six, or simply want to understand the loyalists of the world a whole lot better—this episode is cozy, funny, honest, and deeply grounding.

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.
