  • Making friends as an adult can be challenging for several reasons! As adults, approaching friendships isn't as easy as it once was as a kid at recess. You have invest time, energy, sometimes money, and open your hear to possibilities. We face busy schedules with work, family responsibilities, and other commitments, leaving little time for socializing. Unlike in school or college, where you're constantly surrounded by peers, adults may have limited opportunities to meet new people outside of work or specific social circles. Many adults already have established friend groups, making it harder for newcomers to break in. As people get older, they may become more hesitant to put themselves out there and fear rejection or judgment from others.
    Join Allie, founder of "Level up Ladies, and I as we unpack the ins and outs of making friends in the adult world! From networking tips to finding your tribe, we've got you covered. Let's break down those barriers and build meaningful connections together!

  • What is our inner knowing? This week, Therapist Samantha Hardy describes why developing our inner knowing will not only build our outer confidence but lead to building trust within ourselves and nudge us toward new challenges. Inner knowing is more than just a "gut feeling," it feels right, true, steady, certain and stands in opposition to outer approval. Samantha dives into the difference between inner knowing and anxiety and how to delineate between the two, as well as how to tap into those feelings to identify both triggers and ways to propel ourselves.


    how family dynamics take you out of contact with your inner voice
    the 8C’s: compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calm, confidence, courage, and connectedness. 
    What are you doing when you feel most confident, creative, and connected? What is that experience like? Where does it sit in your body?

    When we can more clearly hear our gut and trust in its voice, we can create lives more deeply in alignment with our bodies and hearts! Tune in to hear how you can develop a more confident, clear-minded, vulnerable you and build a more confident life.
     

    Sam Hardy is an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with the Chicago Center for Relationship Counseling.

  • BONUS EPISODE!! I was recently featured on Tony Nash’s podcast “Got your Six” and was honored to speak about embracing your authenticity, passions, daring to be different, and why being multi-passionate has built me into a better leader. I connect with Tony through social media and am blown away by his drive to share other stories and utilizing his voice to establish change in culture and break stereotypes. His podcast brings together current service members and veteran high performers to share their methods, strategies, and ideas delivered in an informative way and, most importantly, actionable ways that will help you lead yourself and those around you better from the battlefield to the boardroom.

    In his write up for my Interview, he shared: "6ers, in a culture where there is often an expectation to choose one career path or focus on a singular passion, you can dare to be a trailblazer. The reality is that many people have multiple interests and are actually capable of pursuing them.

    Kellie Sbrocchi is a U.S. Navy HR Officer, photographer/owner of Kellie Rene Photography, and host of the MissUnderstood Podcast. She is passionate about small-unit leadership, departmental leadership, sales, marketing, recruiting, public affairs, photography, writing, and public speaking. Kellie believes being “Miss” Understood by others and in passions means you're closer to understanding your OWN life. You will learn about the importance of prioritizing things that bring joy in life, even if they are a bit unconventional and not in line with society’s expectations. You only have this one life so if something no longer fills your cup, you’re allowed to turn your back on it and pursue something that aligns with your passions.

    Kellie’s journey is a testament to how it’s possible to navigate different paths and how there is a place for multi-passionate individuals to be successful. It is time that we become more open, celebrate individuality, even if in a rigid environment like the army, and encourage the people behind us to explore their unique talents and interests."

  • IT IS THE ONE HUNDREDTH EPISODE!! 100?! We are CELEBRATING this milestone in our 100th episode discussing the high's, lows, unexpected moments of self-reflection, the hate, I share favorite stories when I meet followers, and why this platform matters to me. In this episode, I have dear friend, Chicago neighbor, and Family/Marriage Therapist Samantha Hardy to interview me on my journey through the last 99 episodes and why this audience/mission fuels me every single day as well as debunk some of the myths surrounding my podcast and personal social media channels. I recount my favorite episodes, interviews, and the worst advice I've received about my passions outside of military service. Samantha digs into why I continue to push through the negativity and move forward with my mission, even though it may not always be the most popular decision, and I provide advance on how to channel your life's purpose even if others don't understand.

    When I launched MissUnderstood on April 5th, 2020, I had 8k Instagram followers, just placed Runner-Up at Miss California, a supportive (then) Boyfriend, drive to make a difference, & determination to USE my voice. Since my first episode launch, this podcast has been the most incredible ride: 100 episodes, 4 seasons, 271 reviews, over 50 guests, and ranked in the top 10% most shared globally---I HAD NO IDEA what MissUnderstood could and would grow into.

    From my heart to yours, thank you for being here. Every time I show up to the Mic it's a dream come true. I get to share my truth, other's journeys, missions, and passions, and I owe it all to the support of the listeners. Thank you guys!! I am so, so thankful for all of the support from mentors, friends, my production team at Hatch.fm, and most of all my husband, Austin. In the words of Elle Woods, "WE DID IT!"
