    Rest, Play, Repeat

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I share  what it means to “fill your soul” and practical ways to do it. Overwhelm, exhaustion, and frustration,are indicators that you may be beyond simple tiredness - your soul may be depleted. It is  time to rest—not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Rest isn’t limited to sleep; it includes anything that helps you feel revived and whole. You are beloved and inherently worthy—simply for existing, not based on all you do and accomplish. When you deeply believe this, it becomes easier to create days filled with peace, rest, joy, and connection that truly refill your soul. Imagine waking up energized, moving through your day with intention, and savoring small moments of sunshine, from morning rituals to enjoying nature or meaningful conversation. Try these ideas shared on the episode to bring more rest and joy into your week: Take a few deep breaths while feeling the sunshine on your face each morning.Go outside and put your feet in the grass, noticing the sensation and slowing down.Visit a local farm and pick some fresh fruit; savor it mindfully.Set aside time with no screen or agenda—just rest, play, or connect with nature.What does “a day full of sunshine” look like for you? Choose one simple thing to do every day this week. Links  Join Kelly's Group Coaching ProgramJoin Kelly’s Free community on Skool Let's connect. I am cheering for you!

    Don't Grow Weary

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I am talking with my friend and business partner Ellen Mailhot  about the Bible verse “Let us not become weary in doing good.” Gal 6:9 NIV Weariness is often an invitation to realign rather than push harder. When we serve from a place of joy, passion, and abundance, our giving becomes sustainable and life-giving—for both ourselves and others. We reflected on three important questions: Can you give yourself permission to rest without guilt, trusting that rest is part of faithful living?What thoughts or beliefs cause you to equate weariness with inadequacy, and how could you reframe them as invitations to realign?Where can you intentionally choose to give your time, energy, and resources from a place of abundance rather than obligation?As you move through your week, look for opportunities to make space for what brings life. Remember, stepping back, delegating, or releasing a commitment that no longer fits isn't failure—it is wise.  Links  Join Kelly's Group Coaching ProgramJoin Kelly’s Free community on Skool Let's connect.

    What Fills YOUR Soul?

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, explore the importance of creating a personal “protocol” to guide where your time and energy go.  Here are 3 key takeaways: Self-awareness starts with knowing your worth and aligned energy. Notice what connects you to your soul—whether that’s through faith, a sense of being loved, or a core value like peace or authenticity. Begin with the understanding that you are seen, known, and loved, then identify what values matter most to you.Notice what depletes you and create small, meaningful habits. We all experience things that weaken our connection to aligned energy: worry, rage, shame, or just plain busyness. Real change comes from noticing these moments and designing very small, doable steps to restore your energy—like listening to your favorite song, going for a walk, or saying no to extra responsibilities.Build your own soul care toolbox—there’s no one-size-fits-all. Try writing down 1–3 practical tools that fill your soul, whether it’s an artist date, a cozy “resting tree” spot, or a new weekly rhythm. This episode encourages you to customize your self-care, celebrate what works for you (even if it doesn’t look like someone else’s routine), and regularly revisit these tools to keep your energy and joy high.

    Book Week: How We Learn To Be Brave

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode I’m talking about the book How We Learn to Be Brave by Mariann Budde. My focus is  the first four chapters, each one highlighting a powerful choice: Deciding to goDeciding to stayDeciding to startAccepting what you do not chooseThese ideas overlap with the beloved Serenity Prayer, reminding us to change what we can, accept what we cannot, and seek wisdom to know the difference. A brave step can create endurance and hope for the future.  Take a moment to look back: Where have you already been brave? Where might you need to make a new decision? I encourage you to avoid beating yourself up over choices you wish you didn’t make, or paths you wish you had taken. You very likely made the best decision at the time for a variety of reasons. You didn’t know then what you know now and how could you have? Sometimes we can only learn those lessons in retrospect. Learn from them and move on. Our choices—whether to go, stay, start, or accept—shape our courage and our future. Links  Join Kelly's Group Coaching ProgramJoin Kelly’s Free community on SkoolBishop Mariann Budde Let's connect.

    A Vibrant Summer Energy Budget

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I cover the topic of balancing rest, joy and work in the busy summer season. Our most important, non-urgent needs—like rest and meaningful connection—often get squeezed out of our busy schedules. That’s why a summer protocol can be so helpful. It is  a way to budget your summer energy with intention. The formula for a vibrant summer is creating space for Rest, Joy AND Work. Rest – Fill your tank first. You are worthy of rest, simply by existing.Joy – Once you’ve rested, engage in something that lights you up.Work – With your energy restored, move purposefully into your responsibilities.How can you do this for the rest of summer? Create a weekly chart with 3- 5 boxes per day (adjust for your energy levels). Choose colors for rest, responsibility, and relationships. Fill in a few boxes with time for each important area of life. Life happens! Allow blank spots so you can pivot if needed.  Start with just the next 2 days if a week feels overwhelming. Decide your energy allocation ahead of time and stick to it. Check in daily and move your energy blocks to where it feels right.

    A Season of Fun & Growth

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com In this episode, I share strategies for making summer a season of fun and growth.Living with greater self-awareness and intentionality can help put the fun back in your summer. Here are 3  takeaways: The foundation for intentional living-Notice & Decide. Before saying yes to every summer activity or routine, pause and notice what you truly want and need. Journaling morning pages as suggested in “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron—can help you discover your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Begin by asking yourself: What do I actually want this summer to look like?Small, intentional choices shift your energy. Instead of striving for perfection or cramming your calendar with obligations, pick one thing each day or week that feels fun and energizing. Whether it’s a walk in the sun, a cozy afternoon with a book, or a simple gathering with friends, prioritize the experiences that bring you joy—and give yourself full permission to say no to the rest.Practicing self-awareness leads to lasting change. Summer is a great time to experiment with new habits or practices, even if they seem small. Focus on progress, not perfection. Celebrate any positive change, and remember: You’re building a vibrant life not just for yourself, but for everyone around you.Links Join my free  live group coaching callsFollow me on Instagram Facebook or visit KellyTibbittts.com  Let's connect.

    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.
