    135. Motherhood Meets Million-Dollar Mindset: Raising Billions, Raising Daughters (ft. Veena Jetti, Founder of Vive Funds)

    Kellie sits down with Veena Jetti, powerhouse investor, philanthropist, and founder of Vive Funds — a trailblazer who has transacted on over $1B in real estate and led the largest women-led deal in history. But Veena is quick to remind us that her story isn’t about being “self-made” — it’s about being team-made, fueled by grit, resourcefulness, and the courage to take risks that others shy away from. This fiery conversation tackles privilege head-on — why acknowledging it doesn’t diminish hard work, how mentorship and support make success possible, and why women don’t have to play the “misery Olympics” of comparing who has it harder. Veena opens up about raising twin daughters while building an empire, rejecting the notion that motherhood slows women down, and instead using it as fuel to shift priorities, teach resilience, and model boldness. She shares how she is intentional about teaching her girls gratitude, consent, and the courage to fail — because the way a mother speaks to her daughters becomes their inner voice for life. Veena’s motherhood journey is about mindset work, fearlessness, and inspiring her twins (and women everywhere) to #DoBoth — to lead, to nurture, to build, and to rise without apology. Her billion-dollar track record may have made headlines, but it’s her boldness, honesty, and fire that make her unforgettable. Show Notes~ Social media: @VeenaJetti  Enjoyed this episode?

    134. Pageant Secrets Judges Won’t Tell You (But I Will): Why Most Contestants Lose Before They Even Walk on Stage (as a 5x Pageant contestant, 2x State Judge!)

    The Pageant Tea You’ve Been Waiting For!! The advice no one tells you about competing in pageants—I’m spilling the tea from behind the judge’s table. After judging Miss Michigan USA and Miss Ohio Volunteer, I saw the same mistakes and the same winning qualities show up in both systems. I competed in five Miss USA state pageants across Ohio, California, and Illinois. I was a 5x semifinalist, 2x finalist, runner-up at Miss California USA, a best overall swimsuit/fitness winner, and a 5x Miss Congeniality. And yet… after judging two different pageant systems in two different states, honestly, I would have competed completely differently if I knew then what I know now. In this episode, I spill the tea on: The biggest mistakes I saw contestants repeat in both systemsWhy professional hair and makeup are (unfortunately) non-negotiableThe importance of your headshot AND your styling!The interview strategies that separate the winners from everyone else What made me sit up and take notice as a judge—and what instantly lost meThe similarities across systems that no one talks aboutWhat made me lose interest QUICKWhat instantly caught my eye as a judge!!If you’re serious about competing, this is the kind of perspective most people will never tell you. This isn’t the polished advice you hear from coaches—it’s the unfiltered judge’s POV. If you’re competing, this is what you need to hear before you walk on stage.

    133. Leading without Losing Yourself: Learning to Blend ALL sides of yourself to Lead Authentically (A LIVE coaching session ft. Rosie Noel, Executive Leadership Coach)

    What does it really look like to lead while honoring every version of yourself—creative, structured, empathetic, direct? Rosie Noel is an executive coach who helps leaders integrate who they are with how they lead. In this live coaching session, she works with host Kellie Sbrocchi to navigate one of the most complex parts of leadership: blending multiple identities without diluting any of them. As a Naval officer, influencer, event host, and leader, Kellie has long wrestled with the question—can you really do both? Throughout their session, Rosie helps Kellie unpack what it means to lead with both authority and relatability, to set boundaries without hardening, and to bring her full self to work while growing in visibility and responsibility. Together, they explore how having harder conversations earlier can be an act of care, and why doing both doesn’t mean doing everything all at once. This conversation also confronts the belief that you need to be someone else to be taken seriously, and instead offers a leadership model rooted in authenticity, alignment, and self-trust. Rosie’s guidance challenges outdated expectations and helps redefine what strong, intentional leadership truly looks like. For anyone who has been told they’re too much or not enough to lead, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you don’t have to choose between being warm and being taken seriously. There is strength in showing up fully, and power in honoring all sides of yourself.

    132. Confidence Below the Surface: How I Balance Life, Leadership, and My Own Ambitions as One of the First Women on a Navy Submarine (ft. LCDR Andrea Howard, U.S. Navy Submariner & MIT PhD Student)

    Feeling empowered and confident as a leader can be challenging—now imagine navigating that journey inside a steel tube under the sea. Life on a submarine is daunting, mysterious, and something most of us know nothing about. LCDR Andrea Howard shares how she found confidence in her own way—and what that looks like 1,000+ feet below the surface. In this episode, Andrea gives us a peek into “a day in the life” on a submarine, explains how she’s turned her self-described “nerdiness” into a leadership superpower, and why specificity is key to truly connecting with people. We dive into spheres of influence, the importance of carving out time for yourself, and what it means to create an unconventional version of balance in a high-stakes career. LCDR Andrea Howard is a history-making leader in the U.S. Navy, one of the first fifteen female Executive Officers in the submarine force, and the Navy’s 2025 Arthur S. Moreau Scholar. She’s also a PhD student at MIT and has served as Navigator and Operations Officer on USS South Dakota and USS New Jersey, where she helped deliver the first fast-attack submarine designed for gender integration to the Fleet. (Oh, and she also won the 2023 CAPT Joy Bright Hancock Leadership Award… no big deal.) Andrea’s story is proof that you can break barriers, build credibility, and still do things on your own terms—in and out of uniform.

    130. From Scrubs to CEO: Being Taken Seriously, Showing Up For Yourself, & Creating Joy Outside the OR (ft. Dr. Tiffany Moon, Anesthesiologist & Entrepreneur)

    Have you ever felt like following the ‘rules’ of success meant shrinking who you really are? Dr. Tiffany Moon — anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, bestselling author, motivational speaker, Real Housewives fan fave (yes, that was her on Dallas), share what it means for her to not just do both, but balance ALL.We talked about what it means to color outside the lines — why she started her own businesses, built an empire online, and said yes to opportunities that didn’t exactly “fit the mold” of what’s expected of someone in medicine. Spoiler: It wasn’t always easy. She opened up about the struggle of being taken seriously by her peers while showing up as her full, feminine self online… and why she keeps doing it anyway.Tiffany drops some real wisdom about networking, too — specifically how reaching out to people already doing what you want to do can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

    128. A Mission for Mentorship: How I Use Instagram for Good to Connect Thousands of Service Members with Mentors Worldwide (ft. Major Jackie Barnum Fox, USMC & BFF!)

    LET'S TALK MENTORSHIP! We dive deep into the real talk around mentorship — and not just the shiny kind you see on LinkedIn.

I’m joined by one of my absolute best friends and all-around powerhouse, Jackie Barnum Fox — Marine Corps officer, nonprofit founder, and the heart behind Mentors In Service.Jackie and I were roommates at the United States Naval Academy, so this conversation is extra special.

Over the past eleven years, she’s served in logistics billets across Okinawa, Camp Pendleton, Newport, and Miramar.Jackie shares her journey starting a nonprofit from the ground up — yes, we get into the legal bits too! — and how she’s using Mentors In Service to support the mental health and development of service members across all ranks and branches. Since launching the program in 2021, she’s facilitated over 3,500 mentor connections and built an online platform to expand this free service to service members, their families, and even those just considering military life.Spoiler: she’s absolutely doing both — and doing it well.Show notes ~ Find a mentor here: https://www.mentorsinservice.org/ Donate to Mentors in Service: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLT39ET7WFA3K/checkout/TN5CNIHNB2T2YF6EWGVKC443 Enjoyed this episode?
