This week Kelly explores the emotional journey of planning a family trip to Germany and Paris—an adventure sparked by her son’s acceptance into a work-study program abroad. What began as an exciting opportunity quickly spiraled into stress as Kelly tried to plan the trip solo, while balancing a demanding work project.

Through her story, Kelly reveals the powerful lesson that sometimes, the biggest breakthrough comes when we ask for support. With a mix of humor, vulnerability, and inspiration, she shares how enlisting the help of close friends turned her overwhelmed anxiety into excitement and possibility.

Key Themes:

• How support often arrives in unexpected forms—what Kelly calls “gifts in strange wrapping paper.”
• The difference between help (doing it for someone) and support (coming alongside someone).
• Why many people struggle to ask for help, and how that mindset holds us back.
• Practical guidelines for seeking support effectively: Be specific, respect autonomy, express gratitude, and set clear parameters.

Quote to Remember:
“When we bring in support and teamwork—not to take over, but to walk alongside us—we not only move faster, but the journey becomes more joyful and fulfilling.”

Call to Action:
Kelly invites listeners to reflect on a personal goal or dream, and to dare to ask for the support needed to achieve it. She encourages sharing stories on her Facebook page about what it felt like to ask, who showed up, and how it changed the path forward.

Kelly dives deep into the transformative difference between pushing toward goals and being pulled by them. Sharing her personal story of grief, healing, and hope after the stillbirth of her son Montana, she explores how having a clear vision and emotional “why” became her anchor and fuel. Rather than forcing herself to move forward, Kelly was pulled by a deep conviction to heal with grace and to welcome another child into her family.

Using this journey as a backdrop, Kelly offers guidance on:

• Recognizing when you're stuck in “push” mode—driven by pressure, guilt, or fear.
• Shifting into “pull” mode by getting crystal clear on what you want and why you want it.
• Taking small, consistent steps—baby steps—toward your dreams, even in the midst of fear.
• Understanding how your emotions and energy guide momentum.
• Applying this approach to any area of life: relationships, body transformation, career changes, or creative pursuits.

Kelly also introduces the concept of the Six Human Needs (from Tony Robbins):

1. Certainty
2. Variety/Uncertainty
3. Significance
4. Love and Connection
5. Growth
6. Contribution

She closes with a reflective call to action: Are you pushing up the hill or being pulled by a vision? If you're tired, unmotivated, or stuck, it might be time to revisit your “why”—and let it lead you.

In this episode, Kelly Goetz explores the powerful shift from believing something intellectually to knowing it through personal experience. She shares a life-changing moment of intuitive connection during a time of emotional pain, and how that experience deepened her trust in her inner guidance.

Kelly discusses how intuition often shows up as subtle nudges, physical sensations, or repeated thoughts—and how learning to trust and act on them leads to greater clarity and confidence. She encourages listeners to test their beliefs, pay attention to how their body responds, and take steps toward what feels aligned.

Key Message:
When you slow down, listen, and take action on what your intuition tells you—even if it’s uncomfortable—you move from uncertainty to a deep, unshakable knowing. And once you know, no one can take that away from you.

Kelly explores the transformative journey of finding and owning one’s voice. She reflects on her struggles growing up as a middle child in a loving yet hardworking family, where she often felt loved but not truly understood. Like many women, Kelly fell into people-pleasing patterns, struggling to speak up, and feeling unheard despite her efforts.

Through personal anecdotes, she shares how her belief that she wasn’t "smart enough" led her to compare herself to others—particularly her academically gifted sister. These deep-seated insecurities followed her into adulthood, affecting her career and personal relationships. She recounts moments in her professional life when she had innovative ideas but held back, waiting for validation from others—only to see those ideas recognized months later when presented by someone else.

Kelly's turning point came when she attended a personal development seminar, where she learned about personal leadership—a mindset shift that changed everything. Instead of playing the roles of victim, martyr, or villain in life’s challenges, she realized she had the power to reframe her beliefs, take ownership of her experiences, and shift her perspective.

One of the most profound lessons she shares is that our biggest struggles often carry hidden gifts. She illustrates this through her own journey and through stories of clients who, after facing hardship, discovered their strength and resilience.

Kelly encourages listeners to challenge limiting beliefs, embrace their natural talents, and start speaking up—one step at a time. She reminds us that we are not waiting for permission to be heard; we already have everything we need within us.

Key Takeaways:

• Your struggles shape your strengths – The challenges you face can become the foundation of your greatest growth.
• Comparison is a thief of confidence – Your unique journey and skills matter, even if they look different from others.
• Personal leadership changes everything – Instead of waiting for approval, step into your power and take action.
• Your voice is valuable – Speak up, practice, and trust that you have something important to share.
• Growth starts with small steps – Begin with easier conversations and gradually build confidence in expressing yourself.

Kelly wraps up with an invitation to reflect on a past challenge that shaped you and to start practicing the art of speaking up. She reminds listeners that,

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of A Gift in Strange Wrapping Paper, Kelly Goetz opens up about facing unexpected challenges and the emotional turmoil that comes with them. She shares her current struggles, including her husband's recent job loss, and how it has reignited old patterns of stress and overwork.

Kelly recounts her past experiences with financial uncertainty and how she instinctively turns to productivity and problem-solving in difficult times. She explores the influence of her upbringing—her father’s relentless work ethic and her mother’s resourcefulness—and how these lessons shaped her own approach to life’s hardships.

Through this journey, she recognizes her tendency to overcompensate by working harder and pushing herself beyond healthy limits. However, she also realizes the importance of pausing, observing her patterns, and making conscious choices to respond differently. She introduces a four-step process to break old cycles and cultivate a healthier approach to challenges:

1. Pause and Observe – Recognizing recurring stress patterns.
2. Reflect on Desires – Asking the heart what it truly wants.
3. Trust the Process – Surrendering to change instead of forcing control.
4. Celebrate Small Wins – Acknowledging progress in shifting towards healthier responses.

Kelly emphasizes that setbacks are often setups for growth. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own stress responses and see their struggles as opportunities for transformation. As she works through her own patterns, she reminds us that healing is a journey, and with awareness and intention, we can reshape our reactions to life’s challenges.

She closes with a message of gratitude and encouragement, inviting listeners to recognize the hidden gifts within their own hardships.

In this episode, Kelly explores the complex emotions surrounding grief and loss, offering a heartfelt and reflective discussion on navigating difficult times. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a job, or a significant relationship, grief manifests in various ways, and each individual’s healing process is unique.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognizing Grief in All Forms – Any form of loss, whether expected or unexpected, can bring about grief, and it’s important to honor those emotions rather than compare them to others' experiences.
• The Nature of Support – Sometimes, the people we expect to show up for us may not, while unexpected individuals become sources of strength.
• The "Winter Season" of Life – Grief can feel like a season of winter—slow, isolating, and heavy. But just as nature moves forward into spring, healing also comes in time.
• Personal Growth Through Adversity – Though it may not be immediately clear, painful experiences often hold hidden lessons and opportunities for personal growth.
• The Role of Meaning in Healing – One of the most impactful ways to navigate grief is to assign a new, empowering meaning to the experience, helping transform pain into purpose.
• Self-Care and Listening to Personal Needs – Healing is personal, and recognizing what is truly needed—whether it’s solitude, conversation, creative expression, or physical activity—is crucial to moving forward.
• A Simple Healing Technique – The episode ends with a guided meditation and a technique using neurovascular points on the forehead and head to help process grief and find calm.

Even in moments of deep sorrow, life continues to unfold, bringing new experiences and opportunities for growth. Through patience, self-awareness, and support, grief can evolve into resilience and inspiration.
