The Vibrant Life Podcast with Life Coach Kelly Tibbitts

Ever feel like your work doesn't quite tap into your natural strengths? Does your work exhaust you by the end of the week? Could it be that your work is out of alignment with your genius? Did you even know that you ARE a genius? Come join me in my conversation with Sheryl Davis, from Wellness in a Chaotic World, as we discuss Pat Lencioni’s Working Genius, a game changing model of self awareness, not only for personal growth but for the health and dynamics of an entire team.

Main points:

• 6 steps to getting work done; 6 “geniuses” that correspond to each step
  • Each of us in a genius in 2 of the 6 areas - natural abilities, brings more energy
  • Each of us is competent in 2 areas - can do well, but more draining
  • Each of us is frustrated in 2 areas - hard to function and highly draining
• Aligning your work and the roles of each member of your team with these areas of genius can change individuals and teams in powerful ways-
  • Projects get completed more efficiently
  • Job satisfaction increases exponentially
  • Burnout - GONE!

This week I am sharing transformative tools that have reshaped my approach to life's ups and downs. In the latest episode, I walk you through the powerful process of noticing your emotional and mental state, making aligned decisions and mastering the practice steps that lead to your desired results.

I believe there is a pause needed between the “Notice” & Decide” steps of my 3 step process. I encourage everyone to do this regularly - from a place of love, check in and see if your energy is aligned and if your nervous system is regulated before reacting to any situation or making any decisions about how to respond.

I'll share an experience with positive intelligence coaching that grounds you in the present moment.

Main points:

• Check in with yourself before reacting to any situation.
• Regulate your nervous system in a way that works for you.
• Operate and respond from a place of calm.

Healthy self awareness changes everything!

I believe that transformation occurs when we embrace self awareness and grow in self love. It is the foundation of my coaching philosophy.

We live A Vibrant Life when we are healthy in all areas of life. Creating a personalized road map allows you to grow in self knowledge as you notice your strengths & weaknesses. Adding the “Manual of Me” to your toolbox of coaching tools allows you to navigate life, understand what makes you “tick” and create mutually flourishing relationships.

• Main points:
  • My favorite fundamental tools of self awareness include both the Working Genius and the Enneagram.
  • These resources have helped me to understand why I think and feel and do life the way I do and why the people that I'm in relationship with think and feel and do life so differently from me.
  • My idea behind the Manual of Me is that it is ever growing and evolving as you move through seasons of life- not something you make once and are done with it.

In this podcast, I am talking about the power of paying attention to the ebb & flow of your energy.

Start by noticing and answering a few questions:

• Are you aware of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy?
• Do you notice the changes in energy in different seasons of the year?
• Are your energy levels mismatched with your life's demands?

Understanding this has truly transformed many aspects of my life and my hope is that it can also help you on your path toward living a vibrant life!

In this week’s podcast, I am sharing a re-release of episode 33.

Decluttering one space at a time is the foundation for a home more aligned with your well being and values.

• Main points:
  • You have the authority to decide how to prioritize what is important to you.
  • Notice which spaces are most important to you. Find a neutral sentence to describe them rather than a judgmental sentence.
  • Decide one priority at a time. Choose in advance 3-5 days to make small practice steps to move you forward.
  • Take everything out, decide if it's serving you. Decide if you want to keep it.
  • Practice saying goodbye to things.

Taking the time to create consistent practice steps to redefine the physical spaces in your home can lead to profound personal growth. In this episode, I share anecdotes and life coaching strategies that can guide your decision making as you create a home you love coming home to.

Main points:

• The three steps that we use for any result we are seeking (Notice, Decide, and Practice) can be applied to improving your physical spaces.
• Start by noticing the thoughts and feelings you have about your spaces (I cover this in more depth in episode #80)
  • Consider first the spaces YOU are in control of - not the others you live with.
• Do one small space at a time
• Decide the energy/vibe you desire for that space
• Choose 3-5 small actions that will move you in that direction
• For each item, decide whether or not it’s still serving you.
  • If it’s time to let it go, thank it and say goodbye

Have you ever stepped into a room and felt an instant sense of peace wash over you? That's what can happen when the spaces of your home mirror your values, and it's exactly what we're exploring today.

We'll discover how gratitude and generosity can impact not just our homes but our hearts.

Main points:

• Do some thought work BEFORE taking action - take a careful look at your physical spaces; walk through your home slowly and notice the feelings and thoughts you have of each space - do they reflect your values?
  • Do you enjoy being in that space? Is it “your friend”? Why or why not?
  • Notice what you are most grateful for about each space
• Then move on to your thoughts about the physical items -
  • What are you grateful for?
  • What are the” little things” that help you get the most out of your spaces? It can be as small as a favorite cup, or a certain blanket or chair when the sun hits it just right, etc.
• What things are no longer needed or useful but are still there?

Feeling overwhelmed by the weekly grind of “simply” putting dinner on the table? Did you know that it’s not really that simple? This episode isn't about recipes and grocery lists; it's a candid discussion about the realities of feeding a family (or just yourself) amidst the whirlwind of life. I share simple tips and practical strategies to help avoid the last-minute scramble and make meal planning & prep a smoother and more peaceful part of your weekly rhythm.

• Main points:
  • Be aware of what I refer to as“emotional labor”- all the thoughts & feelings related to the activities needed to run a home, including putting dinner on the table.
  • Meal planning seems simple, but it actually involves a lot of steps, all of which require mental energy and many of which require physical energy.
  • Take some time to identify all the steps involved (e.g., planning, grocery shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning up).
    • Notice your thoughts and feelings about each one.
    • Consider balancing task division so no one person is stuck always doing the set of activities they hate.
    • Recognize that few people have high mental energy during the hour when dinner needs to be prepared.
