What if the biggest thing standing between you and healthier relationships isn't the conflict itself—but how you respond to it?

In this flashback episode originally aired in November 2022, Kellie sits down with Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Samantha Hardy to unpack 5 powerful strategies that can transform the way you communicate, navigate disagreements, and strengthen your relationships.

In this conversation, Samantha shares practical tools for understanding emotional triggers, recognizing when you've "flipped your lid," using time-outs effectively, validating instead of immediately problem-solving, and why seeking therapy early can make all the difference. These aren't just relationship tips—they're skills that can improve communication with your spouse, partner, family members, friends, roommates, and coworkers.

Whether you're trying to repair a strained relationship, prevent small disagreements from escalating, or simply become a better communicator, this episode delivers actionable advice you can start using today. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of themselves, stronger conflict-resolution skills, and a clear roadmap for building healthier, more connected relationships.

What if one of the most important roles you'll ever have isthe one nobody sees?

In this episode, Kellie sits down with Jessica Cunningham, military spouse, mom of four, content creator, and co-founder of the viral social media platform @theCaptandJess, for a candid conversation about marriage, motherhood, militarylife, identity, and finding purpose in unexpected seasons. As the wife of a retired Navy SEAL, Jessica opens up about the realities of supporting a career that often demands sacrifice, endures uncertainty and deployments, and requires constant transitions, all while carrying the weight of family life behind the scenes. She shares what it's really like to be married to someone whose profession demands so much while still building a life, identity, and purpose of your own.
But this conversation goes far beyond military life.
Over what feels like a happy hour conversation between two women navigating ambitious lives, Kellie and Jessica discuss reinvention, supportive partnerships, motherhood, content creation, balancing dreams with family responsibilities, and how "doing both" continues to evolve throughdifferent seasons of life.

In this episode, you'll learn:
-What life is really like as a Navy SEAL spouse
-How to support your partner's dreams without losing yourself
-Why every season of life requires a different definition of success
-How military spouses build resilience, leadership, and community
-The importance of having a partner who supports your growth
-Why reinvention is often a sign of growth, not failure
-How to embrace the chapter you're in instead of constantly chasing the next one
Jessica also shares how an unexpected viral video launched a thriving social media platform, why she believes military spouses should stop saying they're "just" spouses, and how she learned to fully embrace each season of life, from politics and event marketing to motherhood, military life, entrepreneurship, and beyond.

At its core, this episode feels less like an interview and more like two women catching up over happy hour, sharing the honest realities of marriage, military life, motherhood, ambition, reinvention, and what it means to build a life you're proud of, even when it doesn't look exactly as you planned.

“You can’t do it all.”
“You just don’t have the time.”

Kellie has heard these excuses countless times whenever people talk about why they aren’t pursuing their passions, interests, or goals. But she has never accepted them as limitations.

From a young age, she made the decision to fully pursue the things that inspired her, refusing to believe she had to choose between career success and a fulfilling personal life. Her ability to balance multiple passions while serving in the military didn’t happen by accident; it came from intentional prioritization, discipline, organization, and learning how to create time for what truly matters.

In this episode, Kellie shares what it really means to “Do Both” and how she maintains a multi-passionate lifestyle while still sustaining superior performance in her Navy career. She breaks down the systems, habits, and mindset shifts that have helped her build a life rooted in purpose instead of burnout. From prioritization and communication to time management and even color-coding, this episode provides practical tools to help others organize their lives, pursue their passions with confidence, and stop believing they have to sacrifice one dream for another.

A fulfilling, purpose-driven life is possible, and this episode will show you how to start building one.

What if the dreams you thought were “too big” were actually preparing you for your purpose all along? In this episode, Kellie interviews Angelena C. Garland, Army Captain, leader, mentor, and social media brand ambassador, for a conversation about ambition, identity, leadership, and refusing to shrink yourself to fit someone else’s expectations.

Angelena opens up about almost not joining the Army at all, and how one recruiter changed everything simply by speaking to her like a person, not a number. She reflects on being a young woman with dreams of modeling, leadership, visibility, and impact, and how, despite those around her doubting her, the Army became the vehicle that aligned with all of those goals rather than limiting them. Angelena shares how ignoring a high school boyfriend who told her she couldn't pursue her dreams changed the course of her life, and why the right partner supports your growth instead of limiting your potential.Angelena also shares her journey from enlisted Soldier to Army officer through the Army’s Green to Gold program and ROTC, eventually graduating Summa Cum Laude and becoming a respected leader in public affairs. But beyond rank and accolades, one of the most powerful parts of her story is how she has consistently shown up online since 2013 as her full self: bold, feminine, ambitious, beautiful, disciplined, and deeply rooted in service.

In a world that often tells women they must choose between professionalism and personality, Angelena’s story challenges that entirely. She talks about why representation matters, why women need to SEE women leading in these spaces, and how using the gifts God gave you should never be something you apologize for.

This episode is about purpose, visibility, supportive relationships, faith, leadership, and becoming the person you needed to see.

Confidence isn’t something people are born with — it’s something they build.

This week’s Flashback Friday episode takes us back to October 2022, as we celebrate Kellie’s 12-year Active Duty Navy anniversary THIS SATURDAY!

In this episode, Kellie shares her personal leadership journey and how confidence wasn’t something that magically appeared overnight; even years into her military career. From stepping into small leadership roles as a kid to growing through challenges in the Navy and beyond, she opens up about the reality that leadership is built through consistent action, not perfection.

So many people hold themselves back because they believe they’re “just not naturally a leader.” Maybe you want to speak up more, take initiative, step outside your comfort zone, or trust yourself more — but don’t know where to start. This episode breaks down three practical ways to begin building confidence and becoming the leader you’re capable of being:
Get involved.
Reflect on your growth.
Find mentors who challenge and inspire you.

Whether you’re a student, young professional, service member, creator, or simply someone looking to become more confident in everyday life, this conversation is a reminder that leadership starts long before a title is given. It starts the moment you decide you’re capable of more.

Your confidence journey starts here!

Episode originally aired October 28, 2022.

Special thank you to USEHATCH.FM for producing this episode.

Most people wait until life slows down to pursue what they love. Rylan built a filmmaking career in the middle of one of the most demanding environments in the country.  Before content creation was a career, before “doing both” was a trend, he was a physics major at the Naval Academy, making viral videos in his dorm room, proving you didn’t have to choose between discipline and creativity. 

In this episode, Kellie interviews longtime friend Rylan Tuohy: writer, director, entrepreneur, former Naval Officer, and someone she has known for over 15 years. Kellie and Rylan attended the United States Naval Academy together in 2013 and 2014, during which Kellie watched him become one of the earliest examples of what it truly meant to “do both.” While balancing the demands of the Academy and studying applied physics, Rylan was also creating videos, producing the infamous Navy football and Army-Navy "Spirit Spots," and building viral YouTube content long before influencing or content creation were considered viable career paths. The two even worked together as Army-Navy game correspondents and collaborated on several of the videos that helped make Rylan one of the most recognizable creators in the military space at the time.

In this conversation, Rylan opens up about balancing his creative passion with the structure and pressure of military life, why he chose the Naval Academy over film school, and how he learned to be incredibly intentional with his time. He talks about creating without overthinking, trusting his instincts, and making time for what he wanted to do — not just what he had to do. Kellie and Rylan also dive into the moment he realized storytelling and filmmaking were no longer just hobbies but his true calling. He shares what it was like to leave the Navy, bet on himself fully, and pursue production and Hollywood full-time, a decision that ultimately led him to found his own production company and direct projects tied to Top Gun: Maverick, Masters of the Air, The Terminal List, and more.

This is a vulnerable and honest conversation about creativity, pressure, transition, discipline, identity, and learning to pursue a life that feels aligned rather than simply stable. Rylan is truly one of the pioneers of what “doing both” looks like, and Kellie is honored to finally share his story.

In this episode, Kellie talks about one of the most common questions she’s asked: how do you prepare for Navy training? Whether you’ve just enlisted, commissioned, or been selected for an Officer program—heading to Boot Camp, OCS, ODS, or even the U.S. Naval Academy (the best university in the country, if you ask her)—one thing is certain: preparation is everything.

Kellie originally shared this episode on her previous show, MissUnderstood, to help future Sailors and Officers get ready for one of the most challenging and rewarding chapters of their lives based on her personal experience. She breaks down what you need to know before you ever step foot in a Navy training environment—because signing the dotted line was just the beginning.

Drawing from her experience as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and nearly 5 years as a Navy recruiter & working in recruiting, Kellie offers practical advice on what to focus on before you arrive, how to mentally and physically prepare, and what it truly means to embody the Navy’s core values of honor, courage, and commitment.

Get ready to take the leap!

You may not expect a firefighter to look like Ange Everington: confident, feminine, outspoken, vulnerable, and building a platform online--but that’s exactly the point. Kellie interviews Ange Everington, a full-time firefighter based in England, founder of The Blue Light Health Club, and a woman using both her career and her platform to show other women what’s possible.

Ange shares how serving others was never just a job for her, it was a calling she felt from a young age. But finding where she was meant to serve took intention, self-awareness, and persistence. She talks about how she methodically worked through different paths before realizing firefighting was where she belonged, and why purpose is often less about instant clarity and more about continuing to pursue what keeps pulling you back.

That persistence showed up again when it took her SIX attempts to get into the firefighter academy. This conversation goes deeper than career success. Kellie and Ange unpack why representation matters so much — especially for women in male-dominated spaces. Because people need to SEE women doing these jobs, leading in these rooms, speaking in schools, showing up online, and owning space unapologetically in order to believe they can too.

Ange talks openly about why she chose to share her life on social media, not for attention, but because visibility creates permission. Every time a young woman sees someone who looks like her, balancing strength and femininity, leadership and softness, ambition and authenticity, it quietly expands what feels possible.

The episode also touches on mental health, burnout, and the courage it took for Ange to temporarily step away from firefighting to reset and prioritize her well-being — something so many first responders silently struggle with. This is a conversation about tenacity, purpose, visibility, and the responsibility that comes with being the example you once needed yourself.

I know you’re frustrated with dating, but let’s be honest: you might be doing it wrong. Your profile probably isn’t hitting. You’re either not making time for dating at all, or you’re making yourself way too available. You’re not playing the game right, and worst of all, you’re ignoring the very obvious signs when he’s not into you. Kellie is being frank in this episode: you need to stop ignoring the signs when he’s not right for you.

Coming from a now-married perspective and big sister’s energy, Kellie gives the kind of honest, practical dating advice you actually need. In this episode, Kellie gives tips on how to build the perfect dating app profile based on her personal experience — what works, what doesn’t, and how to position yourself in a way that attracts the right attention.

She also breaks down the best practices for online dating today, how to realistically make time for dating without it taking over your life, and why balance matters when it comes to your availability. And yes, the tough love: if he’s not into you, you will know. Kellie calls out the patterns of overgiving, overanalyzing, and overextending, and reminds you to stop making yourself too available to someone who hasn’t earned that level of access.

This episode is your big sister reality check: equal parts strategy and tough love.
