    THE PROPOSAL STORY!! How He asked ft. Then-Fiancé Austin Sbrocchi (FBF)

    Five years ago—on October 24, 2020, at 5:30 PM—Austin got down on one knee at the beautiful El Matador Beach in Malibu, California, and completely changed my life. In honor of that unforgettable moment, I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes from my original show “MissUnderstood” for the very first Flash Back Friday (FBF) edition of Why Not Do Both- episode originally aired October 30, 2020.Austin & I got engaged that evening in what can only be described as a Bachelor-caliber proposal. He shocked me (and everyone else) with how stunning, thoughtful, and romantic it was—and honestly, I still can’t believe it happened. I essentially blacked out during it all. It was the most romantic moment of my life. Even though we’ve been married for several years now, that proposal will always be one of the most special days of my life. It might sound controversial to say, but I still tell Austin that I was the happiest I’ve ever been that day—even more than on our wedding day—because I had never experienced that much pure joy in my entire life. And somehow, I love him even more now than I did standing on those cliffs, completely overwhelmed and so deeply happy. In this episode, we’re sharing all the details! Did I know? Was I suspicious? How long did he have the ring? When did he know I was “the one”? (Selfishly, I wanted to know all of these questions too—but I saved them for the podcast!) We were absolutely on cloud nine and so grateful for everyone’s sweet messages and well wishes. Tune in to relive that magical day with us, celebrate love, and kick off Flash Back Friday with one of my all-time favorite memories. Xoxo, Kellie Enjoyed this episode?

    How to Prioritize YOURSELF & Your Self-Care while Serving (ft. LCDR (Sel) Jarred Reid-Dixon, US Navy)

    Why Not Do Both podcast’s Navy Week celebration continues! Kellie honors the U.S. Navy’s 250th birthday by bringing back one of her most popular Navy episodes from six seasons of podcasting, a timeless conversation first featured on MissUnderstood! Remember, self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Prioritizing yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Practicing self-care fosters self-worth and confidence, reinforces the importance of your own needs, and builds resilience that carries you through the toughest days in uniform. In this episode, fitness enthusiast, model, and active-duty Navy Lieutenant Jarred Reid-Dixon joins Kellie to share how proactively incorporating self-care into your military lifestyle can help you manage stress, maintain balance, and enhance overall effectiveness in your duties, both on deployment and ashore. Jarred talks about integrating self-care practices into daily routines and encourages accountability by engaging in wellness activities with your peers — whether that’s working out together, attending mindfulness sessions, or finding group hobbies that build camaraderie and connection. A 2017 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy with a degree in economics, Jarred commissioned as a Supply Corps Officer before laterally transferring to the Public Affairs community. Since then, he’s served as Assistant Public Affairs Officer for Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet; Public Affairs Officer for the USS Makin Island (LHD 8), USS Anchorage (LPD 23), and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26); and Director of Media Operations for San Francisco Fleet Week. This episode captures why Kellie continues to #DoBoth, advocating for strength and self-care, leadership and balance, and how you can feel empowered to #DoBoth too.

    My Personal Tips to Feel Feminine & Confident in Uniform!!

    In the next installment of "navy week," celebrating the Navy’s 250th birthday, Kellie is bringing back one of her most popular episodes from her six seasons of podcasting — originally aired on her first show, MissUnderstood. One of Kellie’s biggest priorities in uniform has always been staying feminine and confident — whether on a ship or running around an office in boots, when “beautiful” is usually the last thing you feel. She believes boosting your personal morale is just as important as physical readiness, no matter where you’re serving in the fleet. Starting back when she was a plebe (freshman) at the Naval Academy in 2010, Kellie looked for creative ways to feel feminine and girly in uniform while still maintaining military standards. In this timeless episode, she shares 12 years’ worth of practical, morale-boosting tips in under 20 minutes so you can start feeling more confident now! From decorating your desk at the Academy, to colorful sneakers, good-smelling lotions, and nail colors that make you feel like you: it’s all about the little things that help you shine wherever you serve. This episode captures exactly why Kellie continues to #DoBoth — embracing strength and femininity, service and self-expression — and why she’s so passionate about helping others feel empowered to #DoBoth, too.

    How We Survived Plebe Summer: Tips, Tricks, & Traumas (ft. USNA Roommate, BFF, & USMC Major Jackie Barnum Fox)

    In the next special edition of "NAVY WEEK," Why Not Do Both brings back one of the most requested episodes (ep 114) from Kellie’s former show MissUnderstood. You asked, and Kellie answered! In this highly anticipated conversation, Kellie sits down with her #1 most-requested guest, Jackie Barnum Fox, to share never-before-heard memories, challenges, and personal preparation tips from their journey into Plebe Summer 2010 at the U.S. Naval Academy. Jackie Barnum Fox was Kellie’s roommate during Plebe Summer—and all four years at the Academy. The two have remained best friends ever since, with Jackie recently standing by Kellie’s side as her Maid of Honor. In this heartfelt and candid discussion, Kellie and Jackie revisit their biggest shocks, hardest moments, and most meaningful takeaways from that strenuous eight-week rite of passage. Plebe Summer serves as a crucial initiation for incoming freshmen at the U.S. Naval Academy, testing them mentally, physically, and emotionally while preparing them for the demanding academic and military environment that follows. Through discipline, teamwork, and resilience, plebes begin their transformation into future naval leaders—an experience both Kellie and Jackie reflect on with honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom.
