    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.

    Moving from Stress to Self Awareness

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com This week on the podcast, I am re-sharing an episode on the Enneagram, highlighting how it shapes the way we think, feel, and do life—especially during times of stress. It is such a powerful tool for self-awareness. . We each process life differently—through our body, heart, or mind. These are called Centers of Intelligence.  We each use all three, but one is our primary way to process life's experiences.  Here are 3 key takeaways: Types 8, 9, & 1: Experience and process life somatically through the body. Emotions like anger serve as important signals, helping us identify when boundaries are crossed. Notice the difference between healthy anger and unhelpful rage or contempt. Types 2, 3, & 4: Live life through feelings. Learn to distinguish between guilt (a signal to reflect on actions) and shame (a harmful belief that “I am wrong”). Self-awareness helps us access the truth of our value and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. Types 5, 6, & 7: Engage life through thinking and strategizing. The central challenge here is catastrophizing—imagining worst-case scenarios. Fear serves a purpose, but learning to focus on “what’s the best that could happen?” can rewrite our patterns. The gift of self-awareness is understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do—then putting loving boundaries in place.By using the Enneagram, we can see that everyone operates from their own core motivations and patterns. This insight allows compassion for ourselves and others, encourages healthy boundaries, and supports living a more vibrant, purpose-filled life.

    The Power of Aligned Energy

    Send Kelly a text when you click here, or stop by Kellytibbitts.com This week, I am re-releasing a recorded group coaching session about the power of deciding from aligned energy. You can learn to make decisions from a place of aligned, grounded energy rather than stress or overwhelm.  Small steps, grounded in peace and power, create lasting transformation! Here are 3 key takeaways: Aligned energy is the foundation for living your dreams. When you pause to notice your inner energy (not just your to-do lists or relationships)—you can move away from exhaustion and depletion.Noticing your energy comes before deciding—and your energy matters! Instead of leaping from noticing a problem to deciding a solution while in the wrong energy,  check in first. Practices like breathing, pausing, or reflecting keep energy flowing. Take small steps rooted in self-awareness and your unique values. Whether your goal is writing a book, hosting an event, or building a strong community, create a plan that feels both safe and inspiring. Links  Join Kelly's Group Coaching ProgramJoin Kelly’s Free community on Skool Let's connect.

    Small Steps for Big Dreams

Learning how to invest your energy wisely can truly change everything. Here are three key takeaways for you: Focus on One Priority: Identify what truly matters right now and direct your energy there for 3-week “sprints”. Plan Small, Aligned Actions: Break your priority into small steps. Schedule these steps like important appointments, matching your time and energy. Reflect and Pivot: After each sprint, look back: What worked? What didn’t?
