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• Rest is Essential, Not Earned: The belief that you have to "earn" your rest is outdated and counterproductive.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.

Creating “peace and harmony” requires effort. How can we do OUR part?

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?

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. 

 “Choosing yourself doesn’t mean not choosing your child. You’re teaching them to choose themselves too.” Aubri Gibb

Today’s episode is about the complexities of hosting. Listen in on my live coaching workshop- “Rethink Hosting”.  Discover why hosting isn’t just one big task but a series of small, nuanced steps. Whether you’re organizing a big holiday dinner or simply gathering friends for a movie night, hosting is complex. 

Intentional planning, prepping, and recovering from events is key.  Learn practical strategies for managing your time and energy throughout the season. Learn and practice delegating, omitting, and rethinking traditions to create more harmony and joy. 

The episode will encourage you to identify what truly lights you up (and what leaves you drained), set realistic expectations for yourself, and give yourself permission to do things differently this year.

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.

In this episode, Coach Kelly has a  conversation with podcast host Shabana Knight where they talk about self care, guiding values and Human Design.

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.

1. 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).

2. 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).

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
