    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.

    109. When “Fine” Is the Problem: Gray-Area Living, Belonging, and Owning Your Life feat. Jennie Jeuchter

    What if “fine” is actually the problem? In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly McIntee talks about modern sobriety with Jennie Juechter about gray-area drinking, overdrinking, and the subtle ways alcohol — and other numbing habits — quietly own your time, energy, and identity. If you’re a high-achieving woman who doesn’t have a “problem,” but feels stuck, bored, or misaligned, this conversation will help you rethink sobriety, belonging, and what it really means to own your life.

    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.

    106. Align Your Shelf, Align Your Life: Decluttering, Feng Shui & Quitting the Job That Drains You feat. Korinna Djerbaka

    What if your “messy house” isn’t just a mess… but a mirror of a life you’ve outgrown? In this episode, I’m sitting down with professional home organizer and feng shui consultant Korina Djerbaka, founder of Align Your Shelf. We talk about growing up in a cluttered home, having panic attacks in a one-bedroom apartment during COVID, and how decluttering her space became the first step to leaving a “good” corporate job and building a business she loves. We also get into: How your home quietly reflects your identity (and what to do when it doesn’t match anymore) Why decluttering one room can spiral—in a good way—into a whole new life The real story of how Karina went from corporate to full-time entrepreneur in a few months What it looks like to hold “high” standards for your home and not gaslight yourself into settling Practical tips for decluttering with kids, basement “doom closets,” and sentimental stuff The moment her boss said, “If your business doesn’t work out, you can always come back”… and how that lit a fire under her If your house is full, your calendar is packed, and your job is “fine” but your body is screaming no—this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a permission slip.

    105. Inbox Overwhelm, Packed Calendar, No Boundaries: Why “I Will Not” Changes Everything

    Feeling constantly behind on emails and buried under meetings? In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly McIntee breaks down healthy work boundaries in the most simple, human way: boundaries are not a “you” thing — they’re an “I” thing. Kelly shares a real coaching session with a client whose inbox overwhelm and packed calendar had her feeling like she could never catch up. You’ll hear how a surprising lesson from sleep training her daughter, plus a hilarious Zoom “safe driving mode” moment and the rules in her new car, turned into a powerful metaphor for people-pleasing, urgency culture, and control at work. You’ll learn: Why you can’t control how people email you, but you can control how you receive and respond The difference between “you need to stop…” boundaries and “I will not…” boundaries How to start setting clear email and calendar boundaries without being “difficult” or “unavailable” Journal prompts to examine your relationship with your inbox, meetings, productivity, and “being a good employee” or business owner If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have a moment to breathe, I’m always in my inbox or in meetings,” this episode will help you reclaim your time, your energy, and your sense of control — so you can make more money in less time, with way more ease. Perfect for high-achieving women, corporate professionals, coaches, entrepreneurs, and working moms who are ready to feel free in their workday again.

    104. From Hustle to Staycation: Resetting Your Relationship With Social Media and Work

    In this episode, Kelly shares the real story behind her “social media staycation” — and how it proved that her business could still make money, even when she wasn’t “on” 24/7. If you’re an online coach, service provider, or entrepreneur who’s afraid your business will fall apart the second you slow down, this conversation is for you. You’ll hear how Kelly went from being quietly led by fear and social media burnout (“If I take a break, I’ll fall behind… my business will stop… I’ll fail my family”) to intentionally building a life-first business that keeps working while she rests. She breaks down the mindset shifts, the integrity check, and the practical ways she changed her relationship with social media, work, and money — without burning her business to the ground. In this episode, we talk about: Why social media, your inbox, and your to-do list aren’t actually the problem What it really means to build a sustainable business that supports your life How Kelly tested whether her business could still run during a “staycation” The fears that surfaced when she slowed down — and what happened next Questions to ask yourself if you’re ready for less hustle and more ease If you’re craving a business that funds your life (and the fun things, too) without requiring your nervous system as payment, hit play.
