Send us Fan MailYou've tried the goals. You've tried the habits. You've tried the motivation. And maybe things shift for a little while — and then, slowly, quietly, you drift back. Not because you're weak. Not because you're broken. Because your identity hasn't caught up with the life you're trying to build.In this episode, we go to the root. Using the teachings of Neville Goddard and the Law of Assumption, we explore why behavior-level change almost never holds — and what actually shifts when you begin to work at the level of your self-concept. This is calm, grounded, practical work. No hustle. No hype. Just the kind of deep understanding that changes everything, slowly and permanently.If you've ever caught yourself thinking "I always do this" or "I'm just not that kind of person" — this one is for you.✦ In this episode: ✦ Why your self-concept — not your discipline — is running the show ✦ How Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption explains behavioral patterns ✦ The exact 2-Minute Identity Reset practice to try tonight ✦ A 5-day micro-habit that plants your new identity at the root ✦ How to remain faithful to your new assumption when circumstances haven't caught up yet
Send us Fan MailIf you've ever followed every step of a manifestation method and still felt like nothing was changing — this episode is for you.The viral techniques spreading across TikTok right now (the 369 method, the pillow method, water affirmations, the list method) all share one thing in common: they put the emphasis on the doing. The ritual. The repetition. The exact words. And that's not where the power is.In this episode, Kelly breaks down what Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption actually teaches — and why every method only works when it successfully shifts your inner state. Not your behavior. Not your output. Your felt sense of who you already are.What you'll take away from this episode:Why "am I doing this right?" is the wrong question — and what to ask insteadThe identity shift that separates the people manifestation "works for" from everyone elseA simple pre-sleep practice rooted in Neville's "state akin to sleep" teachingWhy creators and conscious builders hit a specific identity block — and how to move through itThe method was never the point. This episode explains what is.
Here's a truth most Disney resort marketing doesn't want you to know: some of the besthotels for a Walt Disney World vacation are NOT Disney resorts. In Episode 19 of MyDisney Brain, Kelly Bennett breaks down exactly which off-property hotels are worthbooking in 2026 — including two hotels that sit INSIDE Walt Disney World property linesbut operate independently and cost hundreds of dollars less per night.This episode covers what you actually give up staying off-property (Early Entry, Disneybuses) and — just as importantly — what you absolutely do not give up. Then we get intothe real cost math: when you factor in transportation, the savings gap is often smallerthan you think. But there's a free transportation hack involving Disney Springs parkingthat can swing the math significantly back in favor of off-property stays.Specific properties covered:• Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek & Hilton Bonnet Creek — Inside Disney property lines, fireworks views, free shuttle service• Hotel Plaza Boulevard hotels — Disney Springs walking access, suite options, select Early Entry access• Caribe Royale Orlando — All-suite resort, kitchen savings, best value comparison against Disney Moderate resorts• The Disney Springs Free Parking + Bus Hack — Park free, ride Disney buses, save $40+/dayKEY TAKEAWAYS:• The right off-property hotel can save a family $400-700 on a 7-night trip• Transportation strategy determines whether you actually save money off-property• Early Entry matters most for popular headliner rides; experienced planners can minimize its advantage with a smart morning strategy• Hotel loyalty points at off-property hotels are a long-term benefit Disney stays don't offer
Your resort is 30–40% of your Walt Disney World budget. That means this isn'tjust a comfort decision — it's one of the most important financial decisionsof your entire trip. In this episode, Kelly Bennett breaks down every Value andModerate resort at Walt Disney World so you know exactly where to stay, whatyou're getting, and how to pay less for it.You'll learn why Pop Century Resort might be the single best value hotel onWalt Disney World property (hint: it involves a gondola ride to EPCOT), howArt of Animation's family suites can actually be the smart money move forlarger families, and which Moderate resort has a 15-story tower that mostDisney planners completely overlook.Key takeaways from this episode:• Pop Century's Skyliner access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios is a real, meaningful transportation advantage over the All-Star resorts• Art of Animation family suites (565 sq ft, 2 bathrooms, sleep 6) can beat the math of booking two standard Value rooms for larger families• Coronado Springs' Gran Destino Tower delivers Deluxe-quality rooms at Moderate prices — the most underrated resort at Walt Disney World• Disney releases room-only discounts (typically 20–35% off) multiple times per year — booking at rack rate is almost always avoidable• The split-stay strategy lets you stay at two resorts on one trip while Disney handles the luggage transfer for freeResources mentioned:Disney Budget Master Workbook ($27) — MyDisneyBrain.comWalt Disney World First-Timer's Complete Planning Guide ($37) — MyDisneyBrain.comNew Opening / My Disney Brain 2023Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Storycomic Presents: Interviews with Amazing Storytellers and Artists
#RainbowKite #KellyBennett #PictureBook #ChildrensBooks #KidsLit #ReadAloud #Imagination #CreativePlay #SelfExpression #ClassroomBooks #LibraryBooks #KMBrown #YoungDragonsPress #BookInterview #Storycomic On this episode, I'm joined by children's author Kelly Bennett to talk about her picture book Rainbow Kite—a playful story about imagination, self-expression, and what can happen when one brave kid's “why not?” gives everyone else permission to try. The book follows Lulu, who doesn't plan on going outside—until a plain, slightly ragged kite shows up and basically dares Lulu to follow it. As Lulu chases the kite through the neighborhood, the game turns into something bigger: other kids start watching, then joining in, and suddenly the whole block feels a little more open, a little more creative, and a lot more free. We talk about writing for picture-book rhythm, how a simple “runaway kite” premise becomes a story about confidence and belonging, and what Kelly hopes families and classrooms take from it. Rainbow Kite is published by Young Dragons Press and illustrated by K.M. Brown. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

I'm your host, Kelly Bennett.Picture this: you've been planning your Walt Disney World trip for six months. You land in Orlando, check into your hotel, and your spouse says—okay, how do we get a Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance tomorrow? You open the My Disney Experience app, and it looks like someone built a theme park inside a smartphone and then never tested it on an actual human.I have been that person. Today, I'm making sure you never are. In this episode, we are completely decoding the app that controls your entire Walt Disney World experience. We break down:The 5 Crucial Setup Steps: What you absolutely must do before you arrive in Orlando.Feature Translations: We explain Virtual Queues, Mobile Order, and Lightning Lane booking (both Multi Pass and Single Pass) in plain English.The Interactive Map: How to use the wait-time overlay as your ultimate navigation tool.The 7 Most Common App Mistakes: What causes guests to panic in the parks, and how to avoid these pitfalls.The 6:45 AM Workflow: I walk you through my exact, step-by-day day-of app strategy.Take Action: Get the app set up this week—not the day you fly out! Every minute you spend confused about the app at the park is a minute you're not on a ride.If you want a printable setup checklist that walks you through every step in order, grab my 60-page "Walt Disney World First-Timer's Complete Planning Guide."

You've seen the options on the Walt Disney World website — Disney After Hours,Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, seasonal parties —and you've probably wondered whether any of it is actually worth the extra costand effort. In Episode 10, Kelly Bennett gives you the honest breakdown.Here's what we cover:The three tiers of special access at Walt Disney World are not all created equal.Early Theme Park Entry is a free perk for any Disney Resort hotel guest, and mostpeople waste it by arriving at the wrong time. Extended Evening Theme Park Hoursis a Deluxe resort exclusive that gives qualifying guests two extra hours afterpark close — with near walk-on waits on major headliners. And Disney After Hoursis a separately-ticketed event ($149–$239/person) open to any guest, that capsattendance at a fraction of regular capacity and includes complimentary snacks.Key takeaways from this episode:— Arrive 40–50 minutes before official park opening to maximize your Early Theme Park Entry window. Disney often begins scanning resort guests in earlier than the advertised early entry time.— Disney After Hours is most worth it for peak-season visitors, returning guests with a focused ride list, and off-site guests who don't have access to free resort perks.— Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are a different value proposition — buy them for the exclusive entertainment, not just the short lines.Ready to plan your full trip? The Walt Disney World First-Timer's CompletePlanning Guide covers all of this and more — just $37 at MyDisneyBrain.com.Is Disney After Hours worth the money? What about Early Theme Park Entry andExtended Evening Theme Park Hours? In Episode 10 of My Disney Brain, KellyBennett breaks down every Walt Disney World special access event — includingDisney After Hours pricing ($149–$239), the Early Theme Park Entry strategy mostresort guests miss, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours for Deluxe resort guests,Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.Get the honest cost-benefit analysis, park-by-park ride priority lists, and themaster stacking strategy for dominating Walt Disney World from morning to night.Perfect for first-timers and returning guests planning a 2026 Walt Disney Worldvacation.

Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.It sounds simple: just add your kid to the house title and skip the legal stuff. But what feels like a shortcut can turn into a mess… and sometimes, a full-blown legal disaster.In this episode, I'm joined by Sapere Pro and estate planning attorney Greg Bennett to talk about why putting family on your title is almost never a good idea. We've seen this move backfire in ways that cause family conflict, tax surprises, and court cases that could have been prevented.If you've ever thought, “I'll just put my kid on the deed so it's easier when I die,” this is your heads-up: it's probably not as easy or as safe as it sounds.Greg and I often see people trying to do the right thing with their home, only to create problems they didn't expect.We talk about what really happens when you add someone to your title, and how it can lead to legal issues, financial risk, and family tension that's hard to unwind once it starts.Here's what we cover:Why “just put them on” feels simple but can backfire fastThe real risks of giving up legal control of your homeHow families end up in court over decisions made with good intentionsA cleaner, safer way to protect your property and the people you loveThis one's for anyone thinking about estate planning, helping aging parents, or navigating property during divorce.

Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.You can't control how they'll react, but you can control how you show up. This episode is about getting grounded, staying calm, and making those hard conversations a little less painful... and a lot more productive. When conflict flares up, the way you communicate can either move things forward or make them worse. I'm sharing the same tools I teach my clients—and use myself—to help navigate emotional conversations with more clarity and less chaos. Whether it's your ex, your co-parent, or your boss, there is a better way. You'll hear a clip from my video guide, How to Talk to Your Ex About Mediation. And while this isn't about mediation specifically, the same steps and language apply to any tough conversation, especially when emotions are high and the outcome really matters. We're digging into: Why your emotional state before the conversation matters most How to set a non-confrontational tone without triggering the other person The power of neutral language, and why accusations backfire What not to say if you want to avoid defensiveness and dead ends Why pressure and ultimatums never get you what you want How to use scripts to prepare for difficult talks without sounding robotic The surprising upside of conflict (yes, there is one) If you've got a hard conversation coming up—or one you've been avoiding—this episode will help you get grounded, clear, and confident before you speak.

Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.This one's powerful. If you or someone you love has worn the uniform, you already know that the battles don't always stop when deployment ends. And when veterans divorce, there's usually a whole lot beneath the surface leading up to the split. In this episode of The Splitting Smart Podcast, I'm sitting down with someone I deeply respect: Hon. Mark Johnson (Ret.), an Iraq War vet, Bronze Star recipient, and the judge on the Veterans Court in Riverside County. He's seen it all—PTSD, moral injury, addiction—and he's here to share what most people (even lawyers) miss when a veteran ends up in family court. We talk about trauma, recovery, justice, and the marriages caught in between. In this episode: Trauma and healing: what a decade of Veterans Court taught Judge Johnson The signs of combat-related PTSD—and how they impact marriage Why reintegration is harder than people realize When domestic violence can really be about untreated trauma (and what to do about it) What spouses and lawyers need to ask—but usually don't Stories of recovery, redemption, and hope About Mark Johnson: Hon. Mark Johnson (Ret.) served as a Superior Court Judge and Colonel in the U.S. Army. He's a decorated Iraq War veteran and longtime advocate for veterans who find themselves in the justice system, especially those struggling with PTSD and trauma. His novel, Scars and Strife, brings these stories to life through fiction rooted in truth. Stay tuned for Part 2 (episode 62): In the next episode, we dive deeper into veteran divorce, and what it takes to build real co-parenting agreements after military service and trauma. HON.

Many people turn to their church for guidance, but what if you don't feel comfortable talking to your pastor? What if the advice you're given doesn't match up with what you know is best for you and your family? What is there is abuse? In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., continues her conversation with Denny Brewer—a longtime family law attorney, Executive Pastor, and General Counsel at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. They explore what faith communities often get wrong—and right—when it comes to divorce (hint: especially if there is abuse involved), how to navigate faith-based guilt, what to do if your place of worship isn't the right fit for support, and why mediation can be the best choice for handling divorce for privacy and mental (and financial!) well-being reasons. Kelly and Denny chat about:Why many people feel uncomfortable discussing divorce with their faith leaders Why pastors and religious leaders should ask, “Is there abuse?”How abuse can go unmentioned and lead to tragedy When to seek professional guidance outside of your faith community Why mediation is often a better option than going to court Why there is no better time to embrace faith and lean into prayer than during divorce Plus, a couple of very surprising stories… Dennis Brewer is longtime family law attorney, and executive pastor and general counsel at Texas mega Church Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. He is the co-author of the new book, Back to Court: A Complete Guide to Child Custody Litigation. Note: This episode touches on abuse and real-life incidents with unfortunate endings.

Author of The House That Ruth Built, Kelly Bennett and Big Unc's, Nick Wilson, Maker of Premium Sauces and Rubs Kelly Bennett is the author of many award-winning books for children. However, her latest book, The House That Ruth Built can be enjoyed by children as well as adults. Illustrated by Susanna Covelli, it is as stated quite eloquently on her website, a "historical non-fiction picture book celebrating baseball, Babe Ruth & the first baseball stadium in the world. The House That Ruth Built recreates the excitement—on and off the field—of that 1923 opening day game in Yankee Stadium. Prior to the game, legendary slugger Babe Ruth said he'd “give a year of his life to hit a homer” that day. In the bottom of the third inning, two on, two out, the big question was: Could the Babe come through?" So much great information is found within the books pages. Go to https://www.kellybennett.com/ for more information on Kelly Bennett and her books. Nick Wilson AKA Big Unc is a maker of premium sauces and rubs with bottles adorned with very creative artwork. Nick started out by creating a beautiful backyard kitchen with the intention of being a caterer. However, town codes changed his plans, he did a 180 by coming up with an alternative and now is the proud owner of the Big Unc brand. Taken from his website, "We don't measure our ingredients here, and we cook to temp as opposed to cooking to time. The idea is to be comfortable with getting creative and to experiment with new flavor profiles. Fresh groceries and proper preparation are the keys to a great meal! After years of developing our flavor profiles, we have decided to release our seasoning blends to the world through Big Unc BBQ Rubs." Go to https://strongarmbarandgrill.com/ for more information on Big Unc and to order the products. We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

In today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Kelly Bennett. She has been writing professionally for more than 30 years both fiction and nonfiction. Her award-winning picture books included Not Norman a Goldfish Story, Vampire Baby, Your Daddy Was Just Like You and The House That Ruth Built celebrate all that goes into being a kid, families, friends, pets, fun and games. Episode Highlights 2.00: Today Christopher and Kelly are going to discuss baseball and the history of the original Yankee Stadium and the opening game between the Yankees and Red Sox. 03.20: The Yankees are the team that made baseball the phenomenon it is today. Around the 90's it was America's sport at the time. 04.20: Kelly shares how her grandfather was into baseball. Her grandfather was a semi-pro ballplayer. Later she and her brother started playing, now her kids also play baseball. 05.02: There is geometry in baseball, the statistics are just beyond belief in baseball. Kind of gives us an idea of why baseball has been such a fascinating sport for the American public for well over 100 years. 05.54: Baseball is the one game where anything can happen. Anything that ball can go anywhere. It can be hit, or it cannot be hit. 06.31: This April celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the original Yankee Stadium opening, 08.25: Kelly shares how Babe Ruth changed the game of baseball. People started hearing about Babe Ruth hitting and they started coming to the games just to see if he would hit it. And even when he struck out, they loved it because he put so much into it that he'd spin around beyond. He was a total hand, so it was more about the showman. Because of that, the stadium was built. 09.17: Kelly shares what made Babe Ruth such an iconic figure that transcended time. 11.24: Kelly shares what made her so interested in researching this opening day game and the history behind it. Her book includes the fans, the hawkers, the details of the stadium, and the players. 12.58: Families have these habits that we believe help families be happy. One is Play Together and one learns together. Kelly's book falls within those. 15.14: Playing ball is not about your gender, it's not about your physicality. It's about anybody who can play actual catch, starting with your toddler. 17.07: Kelly shares one story that she loves about Babe Ruth. 19.02: The house that Ruth built comes out in April 2023, the 100-year anniversary of the first game played between the Red Sox and the Yankees on April 1923. 3 Key Points Kelly shares why she is so interested in baseball and what is her history with baseball. Kelly explains how Babe Ruth was able to draw all by himself, triple and five times and 10 times the fans that any other stadium, including the archrivals, then New York Giants, was drawing. Kelly shares how she thinks the family could benefit from and how they could use the house that Ruth built to play and learn besides just reading the story. Tweetable Quotes “We love baseball, but you got to hate somebody, whoever you are playing against. I guess that's the way it goes.” - Kelly “Anybody can play baseball. It's easy to get. All you need is a ball and a bat, and you can start playing baseball.” - Kelly In Kelley's book, there are sidebars that have facts of baseball historically. You can bring together your intergenerationally. Because kids today have no idea what the world was like 100 years ago.” – Kelly “Football is very controversial right now. You need a ball that's a certain shape you need to feel there's the plays are really much more set. Basketball, you need a hoop. Baseball, all you need is two people, or one person throw it up in the air they catch.” - Kelley “A lot of people think Babe Ruth was an orphan. He wasn't an orphan. However, when he was seven years old, his parents put him into a boy's school for incorrigible children, for orphans and some put there by the state. In his case, he was put there by his family.” - Kelly Resources Mentioned Pre-order now: https://www.familius.com/book/the-house-that-ruth-built/ Helping Families be Happy Podcast Apple https://www.kellybennett.com/ Podcast Editing
We're switching things up on this holiday episode of She Doesn't Settle. My good friend and creative genius, Kelly Bennett, suggested a few weeks back that I should be interviewed on my own podcast, so that's just what we did today. You're going to love Kelly - she's a great interviewer who asks some really wonderful questions that just might shed some further light on who I am and why I do what I do. So listen in as Kelly and I discuss the present, losing faith in quick fixes, and familiar myths about ambitious women. Today's episode was certainly a fun one for me. With Kelly B playing the role of host, we thought it would be helpful to share a few of my many She Doesn't Settle moments. Battling an eating disorder and leaving a toxic marriage (with 2 little ones in tow) are just a couple of the many experiences I have overcome and which I share with the audience today. As a Type A individual who used to feel like she wasn't doing enough, but who went on to become the strong woman who now celebrates the little wins, I want to show you that there is hope for all of us, even if it doesn't feel that way. Most importantly, though, I want to remind you all that it isn't too late to change, and quite frankly it never will be. The Finer Details of This Episode: The impact of settling Kelly's catalyst Career and relationship challenges Focusing on today Why it's not too late Myths about ambition and sacrifice Losing faith in quick fixes Finding what motivates you Celebrating little wins Quotes: ‘I was so obsessed with the validation of succeeding, of showing my worth, and my value that I didn't even hear the, ‘You're not happy… You're settling in these areas.” “I never actually did that internal work to recover. So for the next 12 years, I still battled with the eating disorder. I relapsed multiple times and just really struggled with letting go and being able to recover. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first son where I really realized, ‘Okay, holy sh*t, Kelly, you have got to figure this out.'” “Anybody who's been in an abusive relationship knows that it's really easy to feel like it's your fault, because they do a good job of making you think it's your fault.” “We do a really good job of convincing ourselves that we should have already done it; Like there's no time anymore. I'm sorry, but unless you are like 95, and maybe even that is not a fair statement, you can still make change.” “The Enneagram has been a part of my coaching practice for the last three years because it is a tool that allows me to understand who I'm working with, but also to support my clients in understanding who they are, validating who they are.” “We are conditioned to set goals based on what society tells us we should want or what is ingrained in us from childhood.” “I will tell you that those little goals lead to very big changes, because both of those women ended up making even bigger leaps with other parts of their lives as a result of these small goals.” “How awesome is it that you don't have to do it alone anymore? For so many ambitious women, we tend to take everything on ourselves.” Links: She Doesn't Settle Podcast She Doesn't Settle - The Experience Instagram: www.instagram.com/shedoesntsettle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withkellytravis/ One-on-One Coaching & Group Sessions
