Welcome to the second episode in our discussion around communication. Last week's episode we discussed conflict styles and today we are discussing interaction styles. In this episode I'm exploring three distinct interaction styles: Assertive, Compliant, and Withdrawn. These can also be referred to Hornevian Groups, named after the influential psychologist Karen Horney, that categorize the nine Enneagram Types. You'll learn the key characteristics of each style (and how it shows up in each Enneagram Type), how they influence communication and relationships, and how to work with them.  Let me know what you think your dominant style of interaction is and what you learned in this podcast!   Episode links: Email Kelly: support@kellytravis.net Instagram Website She Doesn't Settle

In this episode, I'm having some fun with the movie "Inside Out 2" and talking about this movie as if Joy, the lead character, were my client! It would be an understatement to say that Joy is a little uncomfortable with the other emotions present in Riley's head, and this isn't unlike many of us who struggle with acknowledging the full range of emotions we experience as humans. So…on this episode I'm delving into the complexities of emotions through the lens of Joy. We discuss Joy's unique role and experiences within Riley's emotional switchboard and how she navigates the challenges of maintaining happiness while acknowledging the full spectrum of emotions. We also address the impact of perfectionism and overwork on Joy's well-being, offering strategies for managing this desire to pursue joy and embracing a more balanced approach to emotional support.   This is a fun conversation and applicable to everyone - even if joy isn't your default emotion. If you tend to get a little uncomfortable with certain emotions, you'll definitely get something from this episode.   Episode Links: She Doesn't Settle Kelly's Website Kelly on Instagram Email - support@kellytravis.net

I've been on a bit of a social media detox AND been very diligent about using the "do not disturb" feature on my iphone.

I'm explorinig how these digital technologies can impact us -- including productivity, mental health, and memory. And as always, I'm sharing things that have helped me, and my clients, with creating habits and routines that reduce our reliance (or addiction) to these apps and tools.  Episode links: Website She Doesn't Settle Kelly on Instagram Instagram account referenced

Welcome episode 194! It feels good to be approaching 200 episodes. Thank you for tuning in and supporting the podcast. :) On today's episode I'm digging into the #eratrend (yes, I know it started last year and Taylor Swift definitely had something to do with it) that continues to be shared on social media. I'm sharing why I love this trend and how you can use it to motivate yourself and build in some levity and fun as you work on parts of yourself. I'm exploring the concept of eras, giving examples of some of my favorites, like the Villain Era and Healing Era and discussing why naming your 'Era' can help you get more specific about your goals (and why this is important).  Whether it's physical transformations, travel experiences, career achievements, or embracing single life, these eras bring color and richness to your journey. So, if you're not a social media person and don't feel like sharing your journey there, I'd love to hear about the era you're in. Remember, life consists of various chapters, and it's something to celebrate. Let the era trend serve as a prompt to prioritize what's important to you right now and garner the support needed to make it happen.  REMINDER!!  Ascend is open for enrollment and I am so excited to work with another amazing group of women.

In this episode of She Doesn't Settle, I discuss what happens when we receive a "sign" that prompts us to consider making a change in our lives (these are the moments in life that make us realize when things aren't going well and how we are settling for less than we deserve), but due to fear, we quickly dismiss that idea.  I'm delving into the mental aspects of listening to our inner voice rather than ignoring it and specifically addressing the fears and self-criticism that hold us back. I'm covering nine specific fears tied to our unique personality, such as not feeling good enough, lacking energy, and feeling out of control, among others. You should ask yourself the question: Is this fear b.s.? This episode offers insights into finding the courage to take the first step towards change, making it achievable, and seeking inspiration from those who have undergone similar journeys. Tune in to receive a gentle nudge to listen to those signs and confront the fears holding you back.   Episode links: Ascend Mastermind Interest Form (fill it out!)

We all have a dominant interaction style when it comes to getting things we want - you either lead with withdrawn, compliant or assertive. And, they all are effective when used in the right context. If you tend to struggle with flexing that assertive muscle, that isn't a bad thing -- but it's important to know that you do have the ability to be assertive (in a way that feels authentic to you).  This episode is about identifying what level of assertiveness you lead with, and whether or not you want to dial it up or down -- and how.  Assertiveness can sometimes have a bad rap because it can be misused, but when it comes to using our voice, sharing ideas and needs, it's important to access it.  Listen in and let me know your thoughts!   Episode links: She Doesn't Settle Work with Kelly: support@kellytravis.net Website Connect on Instagram!

When we are upset, it's easy for our thoughts to take over our minds. We might become fixated on one particular thought and have trouble focusing on anything else. This is called being fused with our thoughts. It's a common experience that many people have. Thought defusion techniques can be helpful to escape the trap of negative thoughts. These techniques are based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and function by redirecting focus from the actual thoughts to the thought process. The outcome is a less chaotic and overworked mind and a more impartial outlook. Tune in for 4 techniques you can try right away.  Episode Links: Website Email: support@kellytravis.net Instagram

Quitting has gotten a bad rap. There's a negative connotation associated with leaving things behind, unfinished; not staying committed. We're told to never give up. Keep going. Don't quit. But, there are consequences to not quitting. We miss out on opportunities and growth; sometimes sacrifice our health if we don't quit things.  So today on the She Doesn't Settle episode I'm sharing why I want you to get good at quitting and six ways you can quit.

In this episode of the She Doesn't Settle podcast, I dive into the topic of career dissatisfaction and its impact on overall well-being. I explore the five main reasons why someone might be unhappy in their career, including burnout, challenges within the work environment, lack of excitement and purpose, a desire and curiosity to want something more/different, and dissatisfaction in other areas of life.  The importance of evaluating personal well-being, setting boundaries, seeking support, and considering small changes within one's current role is critical to taking that first step to be happier. I also discuss the significance of finding a career that aligns with values and motivates individuals and provide tactical strategies for further exploration and support. Join me as we navigate through these issues and empower listeners to find career fulfillment! Website Instagram She Doesn't Settle Program

Who you surround yourself with is one of the most important drivers of habits and behavior change. New habits seem achievable when you see others doing them every day and seem nearly impossible if you're surrounded by people doing the opposite. Therefore, you want to make sure that you are part of groups and communities that are doing things you aspire to do.  On this She Doesn't Settle episode I'm sharing examples of groups, why who you surround yourself is so helpful in staying committed to your goals and habit changes, and, a story about a fish. (You've gotta listen to figure out what this has to do with the people you surround yourself with!)   Episode Links: Website Discovery Call She Doesn't Settle Program

This episode might seem simple, but remember -- just because something is simple doesn't mean it's easy. If creating new habits and being consistent with them were easy, we'd be smashing goals left and right. The truth is, it's a heck of a lot easier to create 'bad' habits than the good ones and that's why in today's episode I'm sharing a few tips on how to make staying consistent as you build habits, easier.  It's a quickie, but a good one if you are in the midst of building new habits and have had trouble staying consistent.    As mentioned in the episode, I am taking on a couple of 1:1 clients and would love to work with you IF you want to prioritize your health and wellbeing, perhaps reverse burnout, while you work on pursuing your goals.

I think you'll gain awareness into how your behaviors are impacting your progress towards your goals.  As mentioned in the episode, I am taking on a couple of 1:1 clients and would love to work with you IF you want to prioritize your health and wellbeing, perhaps reverse burnout, while you work on pursuing your goals.

Why is it good to do things that scare you? What happens when you do? How do you start?  I'm answering those questions and more on today's episode.  I've always felt, in my own life, that it's important to me to do the things that scare me. It builds confidence, it pushes me to do things I might fail at, and the experiences provide me with so much insight (and joy)! So...I  finallly went surfing -- something that I've been afraid of -- which is what prompted this conversation. And guess what? I'm so glad that I did it! My hope is that after listening to this episode you'll get curious about what could happen if you did the thing that scares you -- even if it seems small.  Episode links: Website Discovery call Instagram

As Brene Brown has been known to say, when you avoid conflict to make peace with other people, you start a war within. She's not wrong. For women, there's a myth that we're supposed to do it all (and do it perfectly). Saying no elicits a whole bunch of inner shame - and a whole lot of dialogue that isn't nice: "Who do you think you are?" "You're not a very good [mother/partner/colleague/friend]." On today's She Doesn't Settle podcast episode I'm hoping to remind you that when we set boundaries, when we dare to say “no”, we are acting in a way that allows us to care about ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. We cannot base our own value on others' approval because it creates a war within (this is coming from someone who spent years trying to please everyone!). When we learn to believe that we are enough, we can begin to say 'no', set boundaries, and prioritize our own time and needs.  You are entitled to your own time. To prioritizing your well-being and your goals. ❤️ Tune in to listen to the full episode. P.S. Ready to prioritize yourself? I'm taking on two more 1-1 clients starting in July. I'd love to work with you. Schedule a 15-minute call here to learn more.   Episode Links: Instagram Website

For many people, nothing feels better after a long and stressful day than hitting a good workout. When you're overworked (or overstressed), it can be very therapeutic to break a sweat during a good strength training session or long run.

According to many "influencers" out there, in order to be successful and healthy you must have the perfect morning routine. I say, ehh...that's a stretch. If you've got a two hour long morning routine that makes you feel amazing and doesn't stress you out — keep doing it. But, if you've been criticizing yourself for not doing anything in the morning other than getting up when your alarm goes off, that is more than okay. The obsession with the perfect morning routine has gotten out of hand. Productivity involves higher-level decisions and more nuance than a rigid and ritualistic schedule to start your day. Not to mention, if you nail the morning but don't have good habits in place the rest of they day, it kind of defeats the purpose. On today's She Doesn't Settle episode, I'm diving into the benefits of routine, how a jam packed morning routine can lead to obsession or anxiety and how to create a morning routine that is best for YOU. We all have different lifestyles, obligations and responsibilities, so our routines -- whether they are in the morning or the evening -- will vary, and that's okay.   Episode Links: Website Instagram Twitter Schedule a Discovery Call

Toward the end of her career with the courts, Jodi Latuszek had achieved what she thought she “wanted”. She had a big title, a nice paycheck, and was working with the law. However, she was working so many hours that she wasn't "present" with her family. She carried two phones and frequently took calls early in the morning and after hours--failing to set boundaries out of fear.   Her health and relationships suffered.   During COVID, like most, she was remote and her kids had a front row seat to everything related to her work and the culture. One day, her oldest daughter said, "you don't seem happy." And, according to Jodi, she was right.   From that moment, Jodi started looking for a fresh start where she could renew boundaries and focus on her passion for using the law to help people. That's how she found out about "purpose driven" companies.   She admits, the transition from working herself to the ground to having a healthier balance between work and life — was hard. She had allowed her previous role to be her identity and had to get to know herself all over again. Turns out-- she likes herself.   Tune in to hear about Jodi's professional background as a lawyer, her transition into a new role and what it took to make that change.   Episode Links: Website Instagram Twitter YouTube
