"Fear can be extremely telling & useful depending on your perspective & how you choose to move forward."

Today on the podcast, I have my friend Jenna Dailey on the show and this conversation is so real, human, and honest. You'll feel like you are at a wooden table in a coffee shop sipping matcha lattes with us.

Female friendships, finding your soul sisters, and building a community can be hard - especially if you have a lot of worries or fear about female relationships. We start off talking about female friendships and the process she went through to unlearn and relearn what that even meant to her.

Jenna also shares about how learning from female teachers also shifted her perception of women and when she realized that women can be fierce and tender, strong and soft, wild and balanced, and much more multi-dimensional than the narrow box that society likes to place women in and what we might have learned from the media growing up.

We also talk a lot about surrendering to the process, allowing what is, and honoring the journey. Jenna also shares that the self-development journey and leveling up your life takes effort - it's not a "5 quick hacks" deal. It's a never-ending and ongoing journey that's a mess, difficult, and takes time. 

This conversation is so genuine and you'll feel right at home. So, grab your favorite hot beverage, curl up on the couch, and hang out with us for the hour.

Life coaching demystified & explained.

Usually, when I tell people that I am a coach, people say: "oh, like a basketball coach?" Life coaching only became popular in the last decade and most people think it's like therapy, counseling or giving advice.

Today, I'm clearing up all those misconceptions and sharing what I do personally as a life coach. I explain in depth what life coaches do, how I even became one, what a session is like, and what to look for if you are hiring one.

For me and the clients I work with, I would describe it as high-level coaching and training. Using the sports metaphor, I work with olympic athletes and I help high-performance clients move from good to great versus people just starting out and learning their sport. My work, in particular, has an emphasis on helping you find the answers inside of yourself, clearing your mental blocks and make the leap sooner.

In this episode, I also talk about trust, faith, and knowing that you can only connect the dots looking backwards as Steve Jobs famously said. I would have never guessed that I would end up here in a position where I would do my soul's work for a living. I share that looking back, I can see how it's all come to fruition and it all makes sense now.

So, tune in and listen! And remember that everything that you do along your journey contributes to where you are going.

"The practice of coming home is continual."

You are in for a treat today, my friend! Jess Robson is here on the podcast and this conversation is so refreshing, nourishing, and filled with those "me too" moments. Jess is a copywriter, a freelance creative, and a hand-lettering pro and you are so going to dig our chat today. Her words really are like honey!

Today, we're talking about owning who you really are, how that process unfolded for Jess and this notion of coming home to yourself. This includes embracing your humanness, loving the mess, and accepting what is. 

Jess is someone who embodies true realness and full self-expression and I knew she was just the person to share about the journey of rerouting back to your truth. This path can definitely be a rocky one full of "shoulds" and following social norms and we talk about having the courage to align with what is true for you.

Plus, we also chat about making bold leaps and how you know it's time to jump. In this chat, Jess intimately shares her leaps into the unknown and the markers along her path which illuminated her decision. We also deep dive on big, heart-centered topics like trust, faith, and allowing for the divine unfolding in your life (versus trying to force it all on your watch). 

So my friend, grab your notebook and dive into this conversation with Jess and I for the hour. This is a note-taking, a-ha moment inducing podcast episode if I've ever heard one myself! I hope you love this chat just as much as I do.

Unearth your divine talents & own them.

So often, we are the only ones who can't see our own greatness. It's like everyone else can see it, but we can't see it in ourselves. (It's like that friend who is hilarious but just doesn't believe it when you tell him).

In this episode, you'll discover how to find your distinct gifts and the unique expression of your soul. And, more importantly, how to fully own your gifts. This my friend, is where the real inner work transpires because this is when you expand and choose to show up as the person you truly are.

Plus, I also explain the importance of shedding who you are NOT and letting go of that baggage to "fit in." This is such a part of the process as we strip away the "shoulds," the desire to be well-rounded, and as we stop trying to be so good at everything that we block our own brilliance. (You'll hear about my own example of this in terms of trying to be great at Excel so I could put it on my resume versus just owning the fact that I'm a natural at public speaking).

Owning my zone of genius and sharing my gifts publicly (and for a living) has taken me years to master. So, I'm guiding you closer to your own truth and enabling you to embody your divine gifts much faster than I did.

So, tune in and grab your notebook. This episode is for you my friend.

"Knowing how to restore and having tools to bring us back to our truth allows us to be human & connect."

It's such a treat and a pleasure to bring you Jacki Carr today on the podcast! 

Jacki is a goal coach and co-founder of Rock Your Bliss and she's one of those people who just speaks my language. I knew that from the moment I first met her that she was someone I definitely wanted to learn from. She's got that magnetic personality and the truth bombs that really make you lean in and listen.

In this divine episode, we talk about the soulful side of goal setting. We deep dive on trusting the timing of your life, what to do when goals aren't working out and the concept of being attached versus committed to your visions. Jacki also shares about her practice of spiritual surrender and letting go when it comes to goals and how being fluid and flowing with your life vision is the only way to do it.

Jacki also shares about the bliss work and why we block love and light out of our lives. We chat about clearing old stories and getting really honest and true about what old narratives we are still playing out in the present.

I've so loved learning from Jacki Carr over the last few years and it's such a delight to share her radiant light and wisdom with you. So tune in and grab your notebook - Jacki has all sorts of golden nuggets in this episode!

8 implementable tips to find your people and handcraft your community.

If you are craving the deep-rooted soul community and friendships that are nourishing and true, I promise you that you are not alone.

In this modern world, we've never been more connected but we've also never been more apart. It can feel like everyone else has their girl gang, their tribe or their soul sisters on Instagram but you. I totally get it. Media distorts everything and you end up feeling like the lone wolf.

In this episode, I'm giving you eight implementable tips on how to find like-hearted people and craft authentic connections. I share everything from how to start a conversation with a stranger, to reaching out to a cool acquaintance that you want to get to know better, and how to take your existing relationships to the next level.

Building my community has taken years and lots of friend dates that didn't work and also hanging out with the wrong crowd to realize who my kind of people are instead. So, I'm giving you the steps today that I wish I had earlier on. Plus, in true Kelly Trach style, they are really different from what you normally hear and I felt like the lone wolf for years, so you'll totally resonate with this episode.

And lastly, I close with sharing the new project that I've created and something that is close to my heart and soul: The Inner Circle. I am so excited to share this with you today on the podcast, so download this episode and let's get going! Your soul tribe awaits.

Pleasure is your power.

We have so many backward misconceptions about the word "pleasure" and our worthiness of it. For starters, pleasure doesn't always have a sexual connotation. Pleasure can take all sorts of forms: savoring your almond latte, weekend vacations, a calming deep breath, or an afternoon walk.

But, here's the deal: are you pinching yourself off from pleasure? Are you not allowing yourself to feel it?

Pleasure isn't reserved for other people or those who have more "free time" on their calendar. Pleasure is available to you. Pleasure is seeking you just as much as you are seeking it. 

If you have any fear-based stories in your head about why you don't deserve rest or nice things, then this episode is for you. Type-A people (like myself) sometimes need to reboot their mindset when it comes to enjoying your life in the present moment versus saving it for one day in the future, needing to deserve it or prove that we are worthy of it. 

My beautiful friend, you are worthy of all the pleasure right now. And the best part is that it doesn't have to take extra time or need to be super deluxe.

So today on the podcast, I'm sharing why you need to take your pleasure seriously, how to stop justifying it, and how to start savoring it.

Law of attraction, crystals, quantum physics –today we are going there.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I'm loving the woo-woo right now. Here's the deal, I've been loving the woo since high school, but I didn't really know it was "mystical" or "spiritual" until I learned what those things were.

Today, I'm just sharing with you all of the resources and practices I've been loving lately! I LOVE this stuff and I'm super duper into the Law of Attraction (and have been since I read The Secret in, like, grade 10).

If you listen to the podcast, I reference these tools and practices from time to time, but I decided that it was time to dedicate a full one-hour episode to sharing these gems with you too.

This conversation is just so damn fun and where ever you fall on the woo-woo spectrum, I think you'll love it too. So, grab your herbal tea, maybe some rose quartz, and hang out with me for the hour!

"Life works in our favor so often."

Today on the podcast, I'm so excited to share Angela Simson with you. I've been following her work for, like, ever. Ange keeps it real and she always leads with her truth which I so adore.

In this conversation, we talk about gratitude, how to use it when shit really hits the fan, and the importance of truly acknowledging your feelings instead of treating gratitude like a band-aid. Ange also shares how to access deep-rooted gratitude and appreciation, not just airy-fairy quickies where you feel like you're pulling stuff out of thin air.

We also chat about clearing your stories for good. Doing this inner work is the foundation for living your best life and Ange deep dives on how to call out those nasty fear-based stories that our inner critic just loves. 

Lastly, we touch on nourishing deep relationships and how we rise by lifting others. Ange explains how important it is to express vulnerability to let people in, to stop placing expectations on others, and to verbalizing your needs.

This episode will just zip by for you and if you need an uplifting mood booster, definitely tune in. Ange is hilarious and it's such a juicy conversation! So, come hang out with us for the hour and enjoy!

If you feel like life isn't working in your favor right now, listen to this.
