    E153: QUICK WORD ON PREPPING FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

    Are you a “woohoo, Christmas is coming!” person or an “…oh no” person? I used to be on the fast road to holiday burnout, crying after work from exhaustion. Here’s how I stay calm and present through the whole season now. In this episode, you’ll hear: You don’t have to be stressed if you’re prepared. Make a list, set your budget in October, and know your job for Thanksgiving.Block out time. Break cleaning, decorating and hosting into small tasks on the calendar so nothing piles up.Set expectations. It’s okay to say “we don’t talk politics or religion at the table.”Set boundaries with difficult family. Don’t give one person the power to ruin your holiday.Control what you can control: your effort, your attitude and your reaction.Tight on money? You’re not failing. Pick up seasonal work, shop the dollar store or Goodwill, ask for help, and set expectations with your kids.Kids want you, present. The holidays don’t have to be about money.Mindset is everything. What you focus on, you create more of, so look for the good.Your takeaway: Be prepared, set boundaries and protect your mindset. It’s just another holiday season. Let’s be present for it.

    E152: WHAT DISNEY WORLD TAUGHT ME ABOUT UNITY

    We’re Not as Divided as They Want Us to Think: What Disney World Taught Me About Unity. I just got back from taking my 11-year-old nephew Malikai to Disney World for the first time, and I came home with way more than sore feet. The small moments I shared with total strangers reminded me how much we all have in common. In this episode, you’ll hear: Perception is everything. Two people can live the same reality and have completely different experiences based on how they see it.Gratitude changes the trip. I paid for this trip in cash after growing up watching my dad struggle with credit card debt, and nearly repeating that pattern myself.Know what you don’t want. Seeing what didn’t work for others can shape your life just as much as knowing what you do want.We speak the same language, even when we don’t. I shared a laugh at a water fountain with a man who didn’t speak English, and a tired smile with a mom in the bus line.Small help matters. I helped shield a dad and his sleeping toddler through a crowd of thousands, and the “thank you” in his eyes made me cry.We’re not as divided as they want us to think. Most people are good. We all want the best for our kids and a good day.Always have a meeting spot and an exit plan. Stay calm and know where to go.Your challenge: Heading into the holidays, write down the ways you connect with people who think, vote or speak differently than you, and find one way to help a neighbor. When you’re feeling alone, helping someone else is the fastest way back. ----- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  WANNA CHAT OR LEARN ABOUT MY COACHING PROGRAM? - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E151: WHY A MANTRA? STEPS TO ACHIEVING GOALS - PT 2

    In Part 2, we take the mindset from Part 1 and turn it into action.  Because saying the words and believing in the possibility are only the beginning—achieving a goal requires a plan, action, consistency, and the determination to keep going when things get hard. We’ll break down the steps I believe are necessary to turn your goals into reality: words, belief, the plan, action, consistency, resilience, discipline, and determination. Because you don’t just think your way into the life you want—you have to take action and keep showing up for it. --- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  WANNA CHAT OR LEARN ABOUT MY COACHING PROGRAM? - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E150 - WHY A MANTRA? THE POWER OF WORDS YOU SAY - PT 1

    Do mantras really work?  In Part 1, we’re talking about the power behind the words we say to ourselves—and why what we speak can shape what we believe. I’m sharing my three favorite mantras, what they mean to me, and why I believe mantras can be a powerful tool for creating a stronger mindset. But mantras aren’t magic. Before we can achieve a goal, we have to believe it’s possible—and before belief, there are the words we’re repeating every day. We’ll talk about the negative things we often say about ourselves, how those words can become our beliefs, and how changing our language can be the first step toward changing our reality. My 3 favorite mantras:  I walk tall, and know who I am.  When my life gets hard, I will fight back.  I make time and money work for me.---- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  WANNA CHAT OR KNOW MORE ABOUT MY COACHING PROGRAM?  - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E149: DEBT FREE - THE MONEY LESSONS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

    I AM TOTALLY OUT OF DEBT! 🎉 In this episode, I’m sharing one of my biggest personal milestones: I paid off $54,085 in debt in about a year and a half—and I’m officially debt free. But this episode isn’t just about the number. It’s about the journey of finally understanding money, taking control of my finances, and learning how to make money work for me instead of constantly wondering where it went. I’m sharing the biggest lessons I learned along the way, including why clarity has to come first, why you can’t create a realistic budget until you know exactly what’s coming in and going out, and why a budget isn’t about restriction—it can actually create freedom. We’ll talk about looking honestly at your bills and expenses, making cuts where you can, budgeting for the things you actually need like gas and groceries, and turning saving into a game instead of something you dread. Because before you can save more, you have to know where your money is going. Clarity first. Cuts second. Then make your money work for YOU. If I could go from $54,085 in debt to debt free, I want to share what I learned so you can start looking at your own money differently, too. ---- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  If you want to chat about my coaching program - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E148: OPRAH & MEL ROBBINS - A CHAT ABOUT THEIR PODCAST TOGETHER!

    This one is a little different—it’s a real-life update on where I am, what I’m working toward, and what I’m doing to actually make it happen. Inspired by conversations and ideas from people like Mel Robbins and Oprah, I’ve been thinking a lot about how important it is to know what you want in life—but also what you don’t want. Sometimes getting clear on what you’re ready to leave behind is just as powerful as defining where you want to go. I’m sharing some of my personal goals and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I break a big vision into phases, then turn those phases into what I need to focus on year to year, month to month, week to week, and day to day. We’re talking health, finances, business, money, personal growth, and the bigger picture of the life I’m trying to build. Because a goal is great—but a goal without a plan can stay just a dream. This is about taking the big vision and turning it into the next small move. ------ MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  If you want to chat about my coaching program - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E147: PRODUCTIVITY - THE FEEL GOOD SECRET WE OVERLOOK!

    We talk a lot about slowing down, resting, and giving ourselves grace—but we don’t talk nearly enough about how good it feels to actually get things done. Productivity isn’t just about checking things off a to-do list. It can create momentum, build confidence, and give you that feeling of “I did that.” Sometimes accomplishing even one small thing can completely shift how you feel about yourself and your day. In this episode, I’m sharing a story about a woman I’m working with and what her experience taught me about the connection between productivity, progress, and how we feel. Because sometimes you don’t need to overhaul your entire life. You just need to start doing the things that make you feel capable again. Let’s talk about why productivity deserves a place in the self-development conversation—and how small wins can create big momentum. ---------------- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  If you want to chat about my coaching program - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/

    E146: QUICK WORD: DON'T SWEAT THE PETTY STUFF!

    We all do it—we sweat the petty stuff. Someone says something that gets under our skin, someone cuts us off in traffic, or one little thing completely hijacks our mood. In this quickie, I’m sharing ways I catch myself sweating the petty stuff and, more importantly, the simple daily steps I use to break free from it. Because not everything deserves your attention, your energy, or your peace. Let’s talk about how to recognize when you’re getting caught up in the little things, shift your perspective, and stop giving petty stuff so much power over your day. Your peace is worth protecting. ---------- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book  If you want to chat about my coaching program - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/
