    114. Everyone Believes in You… Except You.

    You can have a partner who says, “You’d crush it.”Friends who swear you’re wildly talented.A boss who calls you irreplaceable. And still lie awake on Sunday night thinking,“Yeah… but what if I’m not actually that capable?” In this episode of Simply Own It, I’m sharing the Sunday night that changed everything for me — the night my husband stopped reassuring me and said, “This is the last time we’re having this conversation.” Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: No amount of validation will ever make up for the lack of belief you have in yourself. We’re talking about: Why encouragement only works for about twelve minutes How asking “Do you really think I can?” can secretly be avoidance The identity shift that has to happen before you leave the job, grow the business, or go all in And the story of my client who went from crying in the parking lot before work… to winning the most prestigious award in her industry and landing the biggest contract of her career If you’ve been collecting praise but still playing small…If you’re secretly waiting for one more person to tell you it’s safe…If you keep brushing off compliments with “They’re just being nice”… This episode will feel personal. Validation feels good.Belief changes behavior. And behavior? That’s what builds the life you keep asking everyone else if you’re allowed to have.

    112. How To Rebuild Your Life in 5 Minutes a Day feat. Kate Ferrian

    You don’t hate your life.Your job is… fine.Your relationship is… fine.Your calendar is… fine-ish. So why does everything feel so off? In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly sits down with Kate Farion, founder of Simply Become It, to talk about the trap so many high-achieving women live in: a life that looks “fine” on the outside but quietly erodes your self-trust on the inside. Kate shares her story of: Leaving a 10-year corporate career in operations Walking away from a “fine” marriage Surviving a relationship that shifted from emotional and verbal abuse into physical abuse And how one brutal night with her girlfriends, bruises, and the words “you can’t go back” became the moment she decided: fine is no longer fine From there, Kelly and Kate dive into: ⚖️ The tolerance scale: how “it’s not that bad” slowly becomes your normal 💼 Why high-achieving women stay in misaligned jobs for years because they’re “good on paper” 🧠 The biggest limiting belief they see: the only way to succeed is to work hard and do it all yourself 🧩 How Kate rebuilt her identity using 5–10 minute daily practices, multiple coaches, and a “board of advisors” of women 🧱 Why your strengths can also be your saboteurs (strong, independent, hard-working… and secretly exhausted) 🪞 A simple life audit to spot where you’re living in “fine” and what to do with what you find If you’ve ever thought, “Other people have it worse, I should just be grateful,” this conversation will feel like someone turning the lights on — gently, but honestly. 🔔 Trigger note: This episode includes mention of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse in a relationship. Please take care of your heart and listen when you feel resourced. Listen in to remember:You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to decide you’re done with “fine.” CONNECT WITH KATE: Find Kate on LinkedIn Visit the Simply Become It Website CONNECT WITH KELLY: Visit my website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.livewellwithkell.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE: Own Who You Are Code #1 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Own Who You Are Follow on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ or LinkedIn

    110. What Would You Lose If You Got Everything You Wanted?

    What if the thing blocking your next level in business isn’t your strategy… but your sense of safety? In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly McIntee gets radically honest about the real fear high-achieving women carry around success — not “what if I fail,” but what if I actually get everything I want… and lose the people and life I love in the process? We’ll unpack: The sneaky ways fear of success shows up as “being strategic” — constant tinkering, tweaking, and rebuilding your business backend Why you keep undercharging, overgiving, and calling it “being humble” The deeper belief that you can’t have both: a wildly successful business and a deeply loving, supportive relationship A raw client story: how one woman stopped gripping her relationship, trusted her mission, and watched her business finally pop off How to spot where you’re fixing what isn’t broken instead of trusting yourself, your people, and your offers If your life looks “fine” on the outside but you feel braced for the other shoe to drop every time something starts going well, this episode will feel uncomfortably seen — in the best way. You’ll walk away with powerful reflection questions like: What would I lose if I got everything I wanted?What do I believe success will cost me? …and the reminder that you’re not broken or behind — you’re simply protecting something precious. And that’s exactly where your next level begins.

    108. Your Calendar Is Why You Don’t Want a Promotion (Not Your Ambition)

    If the idea of making more money secretly makes you want to throw your phone in a lake… this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m unpacking the truth behind a line my clients quote back to me all the time: “If you don’t like the way you’re making money, you’re not going to want to make more of it.” We’ll walk through the story of my client who went from: Checking her inbox at 6:30am “just to get ahead” Answering emails at 9:30pm over her kid’s mac & cheese Feeling like she was always one mistake away from being “found out” …to getting multiple promotions and booking a dream trip to Paris with her high school + college daughters. Same woman. More money. Completely different way of working. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why your body might be saying “nope” to promotions, launches, or more clients How your calendar + identity are quietly killing your desire for “more” The simple shifts we made to reinvent how my client worked (without burning her career down) How that reinvention created the breathing room for Paris-level dreams to finally happen Questions you can ask yourself today to start changing the way you make money, not just how much you make We’ll also talk about what your Best Year Ever actually requires (spoiler: not a prettier planner), and how rooms like Best Year Ever and The Reinvention Room help you change your days so the money you make actually supports the life you want. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be happy… but I cannot keep doing this like this,” hit play. This is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your income and start reinventing the way you earn it.

    107. Fine Isn’t Fine Anymore: Sunday Scaries Are Common, But Shouldn't Be Your Norm

    If your Sunday Scaries now start on Saturday afternoon, your body is not being dramatic — it’s being honest. In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly is talking to the high-achieving woman who’s “fine” on paper… but secretly bracing for the Monday-est Monday after every break. Instead of pushing you to update your résumé or map out a five-year plan you don’t even want, she walks you through two simple, powerful places to start: Your “never again” moments Your glimmers of joy You’ll learn how to stop gaslighting yourself about the job / business / calendar you’ve outgrown — and start treating your frustration and burnout as data, not a personal failure. Kelly shares real-life examples of what “never again” moments can look like (hello, mandatory Zoom happy hour on New Year’s Eve 🙃), how your nervous system is quietly telling you what you’re done with, and how to spot the tiny sparks of aliveness that point toward your next chapter. This conversation is your permission slip to stop muscling through a life that just looks good… and start listening to what your life is already telling you. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why your Sunday Scaries are less about “being ungrateful” and more about being out of alignment How to start a simple “Never Again” List so you stop tolerating what drains you How to track your glimmers of joy (even if you feel totally disconnected right now) Why clarity doesn’t come from forcing a big life decision — it comes from awareness and honesty What could be different in your work and life by this time next year if you actually listened If “fine” isn’t cutting it anymore and your body is whispering, “I can’t keep doing this,” this episode will help you name it, see it, and take your first aligned step. ✨ Want support turning your “never again” list into your next chapter? This is exactly what we do inside The Reinvention Room — Kelly’s 90-day group coaching experience for women who are done white-knuckling their way through a life that doesn’t feel like theirs.
