    116: Soft Voice, Big Power: Owning Your Voice with Vocal Honey’s Kimberly Lafort

    You can be very visible and still feel completely unseen. In this episode of Simply Own It, I’m joined by voice guide and visibility coach Kimberly Laforte, creator of Vocal Honey. We go deep into what it really means to take up space with your voice — not just on a stage or a podcast, but at your kitchen table, in your relationships, and in your calendar. Kimberly shares her story of running an award-winning yoga studio while secretly relying on beta blockers just to speak, navigating a marriage where her spiritual self didn’t feel safe, and rebuilding her life (and last name) from the inside out. We talk about the moment she received the vision that became Vocal Honey, and how she shifted from chasing big stages to treating everyday conversations as the most important stage of all. Inside this episode, we explore: The difference between power over and power within—and how it changes who you attract Why silence, pauses, and “not answering yet” can be wildly powerful How scarcity sneaks out of your mouth as filler words like “um, so, like” What it really looks like to say no from self-trust instead of guilt Why your “soft” or “gentle” voice might actually be your greatest advantage How healing your relationship with your voice shifts your relationships, business, and legacy If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head, hated how you sounded, or told yourself you’re “not ready” to be more visible… this one will hit home in the most validating way. 🎧 Tune in, then check the show notes to connect with Kimberly, explore Vocal Honey, and see how we can work together if you’re ready to build a life and business that actually sound like you.

    115. What Happens When You Finally Trust Yourself

    Your business works. Your clients are happy. So why does the doubt keep coming back? In this episode, we’re talking about what actually changes when you finally trust yourself — not in a hype-y, “everything 10x’s overnight” way, but in the real, grounded shifts that make life feel steadier and simpler. We dive into belief lag (why your identity takes longer to catch up than your results), how decision-making becomes faster and cleaner, why time starts to feel less like pressure and more like intention, and what happens to your nervous system when you stop re-earning your confidence every launch. If you’re tired of outsourcing your authority, overthinking every move, or secretly bracing for it all to fall apart — this episode will help you rebuild trust in the woman who’s already proven she can do this.

    114. Everyone Believes in You… Except You.

    You can have a partner who says, “You’d crush it.”Friends who swear you’re wildly talented.A boss who calls you irreplaceable. And still lie awake on Sunday night thinking,“Yeah… but what if I’m not actually that capable?” In this episode of Simply Own It, I’m sharing the Sunday night that changed everything for me — the night my husband stopped reassuring me and said, “This is the last time we’re having this conversation.” Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: No amount of validation will ever make up for the lack of belief you have in yourself. We’re talking about: Why encouragement only works for about twelve minutes How asking “Do you really think I can?” can secretly be avoidance The identity shift that has to happen before you leave the job, grow the business, or go all in And the story of my client who went from crying in the parking lot before work… to winning the most prestigious award in her industry and landing the biggest contract of her career If you’ve been collecting praise but still playing small…If you’re secretly waiting for one more person to tell you it’s safe…If you keep brushing off compliments with “They’re just being nice”… This episode will feel personal. Validation feels good.Belief changes behavior. And behavior? That’s what builds the life you keep asking everyone else if you’re allowed to have.

    113.The Cost of Staying Palatable When You’re Meant to Be Powerful

    Are you staying “nice” at the expense of being honest? In this car-recorded riff, Kelly gets real about the most expensive habit high-achieving women are carrying into 2026: staying palatable. We’re talking about: What “palatable” actually looks like in your day-to-day How Minnesota Nice / “bless your heart” energy shows up in your business Why being direct is way kinder than hinting and resenting The massive cost of soft messaging in your marketing How palatable leadership confuses your team and delays your vision The difference between being “needy” and simply stating your needs If you’ve ever worried about sounding too blunt, too bossy, too needy, or “too much,” this episode will feel like a permission slip and a loving call-out at the same time. Kelly also shares how this shift from nice girl → bold woman comes alive inside her programs Industry Icon and Own Who You Are, and how you can get the first code of Own Who You Are for free. Perfect for listening when your palms are already a little sweaty and you know you’re ready to say the thing you’ve been sitting on.

    112. How To Rebuild Your Life in 5 Minutes a Day feat. Kate Ferrian

    You don’t hate your life.Your job is… fine.Your relationship is… fine.Your calendar is… fine-ish. So why does everything feel so off? In this episode of Simply Own It, Kelly sits down with Kate Farion, founder of Simply Become It, to talk about the trap so many high-achieving women live in: a life that looks “fine” on the outside but quietly erodes your self-trust on the inside. Kate shares her story of: Leaving a 10-year corporate career in operations Walking away from a “fine” marriage Surviving a relationship that shifted from emotional and verbal abuse into physical abuse And how one brutal night with her girlfriends, bruises, and the words “you can’t go back” became the moment she decided: fine is no longer fine From there, Kelly and Kate dive into: ⚖️ The tolerance scale: how “it’s not that bad” slowly becomes your normal 💼 Why high-achieving women stay in misaligned jobs for years because they’re “good on paper” 🧠 The biggest limiting belief they see: the only way to succeed is to work hard and do it all yourself 🧩 How Kate rebuilt her identity using 5–10 minute daily practices, multiple coaches, and a “board of advisors” of women 🧱 Why your strengths can also be your saboteurs (strong, independent, hard-working… and secretly exhausted) 🪞 A simple life audit to spot where you’re living in “fine” and what to do with what you find If you’ve ever thought, “Other people have it worse, I should just be grateful,” this conversation will feel like someone turning the lights on — gently, but honestly. 🔔 Trigger note: This episode includes mention of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse in a relationship. Please take care of your heart and listen when you feel resourced. Listen in to remember:You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to decide you’re done with “fine.” CONNECT WITH KATE: Find Kate on LinkedIn Visit the Simply Become It Website CONNECT WITH KELLY: Visit my website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.livewellwithkell.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE: Own Who You Are Code #1 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Own Who You Are Follow on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ or LinkedIn

    111. Stop Crossing Town & Calling It A life

    If you fall into bed thinking, “I did so much today… but what did I *even do?,” this episode is your wake-up call. Kelly breaks down why your overwhelm isn’t just emotional—it’s logistical. Your calendar has quietly stopped being yours, and it’s costing you your creativity, energy, and actual life. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: The hidden ways high-achieving women give their time away Why your calendar is a mirror of your identity (and what it’s saying right now) The client stories that prove a few structural shifts can give you your brain—and breath—back Journal prompts to help you become the creative director of your life You don’t need a whole new life. You need to stop crossing town for a life you don’t even want… and start directing the one you do.

    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.

    What if “fine” is actually the problem?
