    Breaking Free from Perfectionism & People Pleasing

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com This week on the podcast, I am sharing a conversation with a fellow life coach,  Lizzie Merritt. We discuss tools to live with more self-compassion, awareness, and fulfillment. Whether it’s overcoming people-pleasing, breaking unhelpful patterns, or learning to accept your unique wiring, life coaching can help anyone seeking lasting change.  3 highlights from our conversation: Self-awareness is transformational: Understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do (through tools like the Enneagram or self-reflection) helps us have more grace for ourselves and compassion for others. Noticing our patterns is always the first step. Behavior follows identity: Sustainable change doesn’t start with shifting actions. When you begin to see yourself as someone worthy, capable, and enough—your actions naturally align. Start on the inside with noticing your thoughts, feelings, values, and identity.   Rest is an important tool: True growth and health mean creating space for rest. Without it, we keep repeating old patterns and using coping mechanisms that don’t serve us or could even hurt us and our relationships. Living a  vibrant life isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being curious, getting honest about what’s really going on beneath the surface, and learning to celebrate the whole, unique you.

    Book Week: Everybody Always

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on the book “Everybody Always” by Bob Goff, a bestseller from 2018 that challenges readers to radically love others—especially difficult people and those with differing viewpoints. A topic never more relevant than now! If you had to summarize the entire Bible in one word, it’s love. If we believe we are who God says we are—loved, valued, and capable—then loving “everybody always” flows authentically from us. Here are 3 key takeaways: Love with Boundaries: Love isn’t about being a doormat or accepting harm. It’s about sharing your energy to help people see their value, while also practicing healthy boundaries. Start with Self-Awareness and Receiving Love: We become capable of healthy authentic love for others by first believing and accepting God’s love for ourselves. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Extend Grace to All:: Loving beyond your circle means extending grace even to those who are difficult to love. It’s not easy, but it’s possible! Sometimes, start with loving someone for just 30 seconds at a time. Let’s be people who choose love over everything else.  Links  Join Kelly's Group Coaching ProgramJoin Kelly’s Free community on SkoolBob Goff Let's connect. I am cheering for you!

    Human Design & Communication

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com 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? Want to learn more?

    Building Stronger Relationships Through Self-Awareness

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com Building and maintaining strong relationships isn’t just about connection—it begins with understanding your "why"-what’s behind your behavior, rather than just the behavior itself..  This episode focuses on the importance of self-awareness and purposeful action in all our interactions. 3 Key Takeaways: Self-Awareness Is Foundational: You are in charge of your thoughts, feelings, and actions—but not anyone else’s. Greater self-awareness empowers you to set boundaries and invest in your own well-being, which benefits every relationship.Embrace Differences: Everyone processes life differently—through heart, head, or gut; with varying energy and focus (past, present, future). Recognizing and honoring these differences leads to more grace, understanding, and healthier connections.Intentional Action Leads to Transformation: Pick one area to focus on—whether it’s self-care, communication, or personal growth—and commit to investing in yourself. Self-care is not selfish, it is the key to healthy relationships.Ready to invest in relationships that matter? Start by knowing your why.

    Growing With Enneagram Insights

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I’m focusing on relationships, using the Enneagram to understand the 9 different core motivations that drive our behavior. Identifying our core fears and desires can foster greater compassion in personal and professional relationships. As we notice what is driving our behaviors—even when we’re not consciously aware —we can create a tool box to support us, including exercises for self-reflection.  Noticing and understanding your own—and others’—core motivations can open up new possibilities for empathy, collaboration, and personal growth.

    Build A Vibrant Brand

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com This week on the podcast, listen in on a conversation I have with Liz Trujillo, of mytruedesign,  a graphic designer who loves to help people bring their vision to life.  We discuss the importance of authenticity and how values should be the driving force behind building a brand and a business you love.  Here are 3 key takeaways: Let authenticity drive your brand: Liz shares her journey of shifting from a serious brand to one that embraces her love of pink and reflects her true self. Authenticity became her north star, giving her the confidence to put herself and her values out into the world—reminding us all that staying true to ourselves is where real confidence comes from.Your first version won’t be perfect—pivot often!  The reality is that your first attempt at branding or business might not fit perfectly. Don’t let that discourage you! It's essential to experiment, pay attention to what brings you joy, and let your values evolve. Knowing yourself is the best tool for growth: Taking time to explore what you love—whether that’s colors, images, or ways of showing up online—will help guide your decisions. Liz encourages listeners to pause, make mood boards, and even use tools like Pinterest to get clarity. Most importantly, don’t hide: put your name and your face out there, because people connect with people, not just great branding.
