In this week's episode of Insurance Town, I had the privilege of sitting down with my good friend Kelly Smith.Kelly is one of those people who has truly lived the insurance industry from every angle. She grew up in a family agency, spent time at the front desk, worked in personal lines, commercial lines, agency operations, underwriting, carrier sales, and now helps independent agencies grow through her work with FirstChoice.What I loved about this conversation is that Kelly's story is not just about insurance. It is about curiosity, hard work, education, family, leadership, and finding your place in an industry that can open a lot of doors if you are willing to keep learning.We talked about what it was like growing up in an independent agency, hiding under desks, messing with paper files, and learning the business from the inside out. Kelly shared how that agency background gave her a completely different perspective when she moved to the carrier side. She understood the urgency agents feel because she had sat in that seat herself.We also talked about her passion for education. Kelly shared a powerful story about being homeschooled, feeling behind academically when she started college, and how that experience fueled her desire to keep learning. Since then, she has earned multiple designations, completed her CPCU, and recently finished her MBA in insurance. The best insurance professionals don't just master one job. They learn the entire ecosystem. Kelly's career took her from an independent agency to the carrier side and now to helping agencies grow through a network. Each step gave her a new perspective that made her more valuable. Whether it's earning a designation, volunteering with an association, mentoring others, or simply staying curious, investing in your education compounds over time. Your next opportunity often comes from something you're willing to learn today. One of my favorite parts of the episode was our conversation about the next generation. Kelly's daughter recently attended risk management camp at App State, and we talked about how important it is to show young people that this industry is bigger than home and auto insurance. There are opportunities in sales, underwriting, claims, marketing, leadership, technology, agency ownership, and so much more.Kelly also shared what it means to be recognized as one of Insurance Business America's Rising Stars. Her humility really came through in this part of the conversation. She talked about being grateful for the opportunities she has had, but also wanting her story to encourage others, especially women and young professionals, to see what is possible in this business.00:00 Welcome 02:35 Born Into Insurance 06:00 Agency vs. Carrier: Seeing Both Sides 09:10 Can We Attract the Next Generation? 12:20 From Homeschool to MBA 17:45 Why Education Creates Opportunity 23:45 Leadership Through Service 26:00 Becoming an Insurance Rising Star 30:15 Helping Independent Agencies Grow 31:45 The Truth About Insurance Networks 35:45 Connect with Kelly 36:50 Sponsors & ClosingIf you're looking for one of the most innovative events in the insurance industry, check out Insurance Fest, hosted by Insurance Business America.

“Ich werde meine Tochter finden“ - mit diesen Worten tritt Kelly Smith im Februar 2024 immer wieder an die südafrikanische Öffentlichkeit. Ihre kleine Tochter ist spurlos verschwunden und sie will alles versuchen, um die 6-Jährige wieder in ihre Arme schließen zu können, doch je häufiger sie spricht, desto stärkerkippt die Stimmung. Aus Mitgefühl wird Misstrauen und aus Anteilnahme ein bohrender Verdacht. Ist sie wirklich nur eine verzweifelte Mutter oder verbirgt sich hinter der medialen Suche nach ihrer Tochter etwas viel Düstereres?

In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald talks with Lexi Hanson and Kayla Phipps, two "superguides" at Prenda, a national microschooling network founded in 2018 by Kelly Smith that has since served roughly 10,000 students in hundreds of tiny schools across the US. Lexi and Kayla share their journeys from traditional education settings to launching and guiding their own Prenda microschools. They discuss how the Prenda model—serving K–8 learners in small, mixed-age environments of less than a dozen students—fosters autonomy, personalized learning, and meaningful connections. The conversation explores how demand for microschools surged during the COVID-19 pandemic and why interest in these flexible learning environments continues today. As Super Guides, Lexi and Kayla mentor new microschool founders, offering feedback and support to ensure high-quality learning experiences. They also describe what a typical day looks like in a Prenda microschool, including core academic time and community-building activities that balance structure with independence. Whether you're an educator considering a new path or a parent exploring alternative education options, this episode offers inspiration and practical insights into the growing microschool movement. Their advice to prospective guides and families is simple: Just do it! *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

At some stage of the TYP evolution, shy, introverted and courageous listener Kelly Smith somehow wrangled her way from one side of the microphone (off air) to the other side. And we're glad she did. Kelly brings a level of vulnerability, genuine curiosity and self-awareness to the conversation that's not always present on Planet Podcast. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this instalment of TYP, Kelly, Tiff and I chat about the propensity we humans have to obsess about, and waste energy on, problems that don't currently (and may never) exist. And also... the subsequent self-created psychological and emotional sh*t-fest that comes with it. In general terms, we talk about trying to manage our subjective experience in the middle of a never-ending series of objective events, situations and circumstances (you know.. life). Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is memorising a fact or piece of information to pass a test or meet a requirement actually learning, or is it just filing another thing in our cognitive hard-drive that will never the see light of day in a practical, behavioural sense? Does learning need to equate to doing, or can it be just about knowing stuff that we'll never operationalise? In this chat, Kelly, Tiff and I explore this quirky little question and lots more. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kel’s back from Italy, jet lagged and pasta-happy, and we get into the real guts of confidence. We talk travel as a reset, ditching the Apple Watch, eating the damn spaghetti, and remembering how good life feels when you stop performing and just live it. Kel shares how she went from second-guessing herself to using her voice at work, online, and in life. We get honest about external validation, doing it scared, and why the action often has to arrive before the feeling. It’s warm, human, a bit cheeky, and a solid reminder that confidence is less sparkle, more reps.

The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss
What happens when your meditation podcast suddenly explodes overnight? Kelly Smith found out during the pandemic—and the aftermath wasn't what she expected. Kelly shares her journey from opening a yoga studio in a "one-bar, one-Walmart town" in Missouri to creating location-independent teacher training while raising two young kids. We dig into the money mindset blocks that plague the spiritual community, why she believes you shouldn't be afraid to be someone's "goat cheese," and how she handled the backlash when she started monetizing her free content. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: Why the most expensive investment in her business gave her "heart palpitations" (and why she did it twice) The goat cheese philosophy that changed how she handles criticism What happened when her podcast exploded during the pandemic How she structures her business to work minimal hours with maximum impact Mentioned in this episode: www.yogaforyouonline.com Instagram: @yogaforyouonline Mindful in Minutes Podcast Apple Mindful in Minutes Podcast Spotify 5 day nervous system reset (to help those stressed out biz owners!)

Some weeks you’re just over yourself, right? That was me this week, and funnily enough that’s exactly what Kel and I ended up diving into. We talked about those little moments where you trip over your own mental shoelaces - anxiety flares, self-sabotage, second-guessing yourself - and how bloody human that is. We riffed on slowing down to speed up, breaking up with data and devices (yes, I may have dumped my smartwatch mid-chat), and finding ways to actually get out of our own way so we can show up as who we really are. Kel shared how she’s flipping anxiety on its head, I got honest about my own patterns of busy-ness and loneliness, and together we landed on the idea that feelings aren’t facts... and small reps are what actually shift things. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, 'FFS, I’m sick of my own shit' then mate, this one’s for you!

She’s back! And this time Kel and I are diving into all the big, scary, liberating stuff... like finding your voice, owning your truth, and saying 'no' without choking on it. We talk people-pleasing, the opposite of 'nice', why boundaries feel like a boxing match, and how sometimes the metaphorical possum you’ve been chasing leaves you wondering what the hell to do next. Kel gives us the down-low on going from painfully shy and introverted to taking her seat at the table and speaking up in rooms that once terrified her. We talk about masks, conditioning, social anxiety, creativity, and the strange safety of telling the internet what you can’t yet tell your best mate. This one’s about freedom, visibility, and doing the thing scared… because regret is far more uncomfortable than honesty.

Failure is such an interesting concept. One person's failure is another person's lesson. One person calls their 10k race time a failure, someone else calls it a PB. John considers his return on investment (ROl) a disappointing outcome, Sally sees it as a nice gain. Failure is a construct. An idea. A story we tell ourselves. An interpretation. It's not an objective reality; it's a human-made category. An outcome happens, and we decide - based on our expectations, values, and cultural narratives - whether to call it "failure" or something else. This is a conversation about that. And more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
TYP's Chief Investigative Reporter (I just gave her that title - I better get her a badge), Kelly Smith, is back investigating like a mo-fo and as always, doing a deep diving into how humans (those weird creatures) work. Among other things, we speak about why aiming to be a '4' (out of 10) can be a good idea, the potential benefits of consciously choosing pressure, how to get the wheels turning when we feel overwhelmed (where to start) and lots more.

Kelly Smith joined me for a chat and, true to form, we went completely off-script... and I wouldn’t have it any other way. What kicked off as a catch-up turned into a full-blown riff on hormones, perimenopause, identity, fear, self-acceptance, and the beautiful mess of evolving in your 40s. We got stuck into how hard it is to know when you're not feeling like yourself anymore, the weird relief of finally getting answers, and why talking openly (and loudly) about women’s health matters more than ever. We also dug into the gutsy side of change - leaving jobs, chasing passion, and dealing with the good old 'who do I think I am?' voice in our heads. It’s raw, funny, warm, and full of those moments where you go, 'Yep, same.' No bullsh*t, just the real stuff.

Kelly shares her unique approach to building a sustainable meditation practice that doesn't require perfection or stillness. Sometimes it just takes a few moments of self-awareness to create a real shift.

Hey Team! In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kelly Smith, a yoga and meditation teacher who has ADHD herself and has guided over 23 million meditations through her incredibly popular podcast, Mindful In Minutes. Kelly walks us through why meditation is especially beneficial for the ADHD brain, what to realistically expect from starting a meditation practice, and how even just a few minutes a day can sharpen your focus, reduce impulsivity, and make executive functioning a bit less exhausting. We explore practical advice on how to start meditating, even when you're convinced it's not your thing, and break down the misconceptions that keep a lot of us with ADHD from ever even giving meditation a try. Kelly shares her insights on the best meditation styles for ADHD brains and introduces us to practices like yoga nidra that go beyond the mat and offer deep restorative rest—something I'm pretty sure we all could use more of. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/217 YouTube Channel My Patreon This Episode's Top Tips Start small and aim for just 5-8 minutes of meditation daily. Research shows even short practices can significantly benefit the ADHD brain. Choose a simple focus, like your breath or a body scan, to help redirect your wandering mind. Remember, meditation isn't about silencing thoughts. Accept that distractions will happen, and when you notice them, just gently try to bring your attention back to the practice itself. Try performing regular mindful check-ins by simply pausing, taking a breath, and asking yourself honestly, "How am I doing right now?”
In this calming and inspiring episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, host Wendy Valentine welcomes Kelly Smith—global meditation teacher, author, and host of the popular podcasts Mindful in Minutesand Meditation Mama.

They also discuss mindfulness versus meditation, tips for beginners, and why even 8 minutes a day can transform your life. Whether you're a busy mom, a burned-out professional, or just someone craving a bit more peace, this episode is your invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. What You'll Learn: The difference between mindfulness and meditation—and why both matter How meditation rewires your brain through the power of neuroplasticity Why meditation is for everyone (even if you're an extrovert or have ADHD!)
