In this raw and revealing episode, Kelly O’Neill shares her personal rock bottom—and the moment she decided to stop tolerating mediocrity. She opens up about losing everything she built, confronting her own compromises, and rebuilding her life and business from the ground up. If you’re ready to stop settling and start living in alignment with your true genius, this episode is your wake-up call.
Key Talking Points:
🚨 Rock Bottom Revelation: Kelly’s wake-up call came not when the money ran out—but when she realized she built a life that didn’t reflect her true power.
📉 Mediocrity Trap: Settling in business, health, and relationships created a slow decline masked as success.
🪞 Radical Ownership: No more blame. Kelly owned every choice—and every compromise—that led to collapse.
✨ No More Half-Measures: From this point forward, excellence wasn’t optional—it was the baseline.
💥 Epic AF Energy: Choosing to stop tolerating “good enough” flipped the switch on her entire life.
🚫 Unsubscribed from the Grind: Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Alignment and clarity are the new currency.
🧠 Unf*ckable-With Mindset: True power starts when you raise your standards—and refuse to settle ever again.

EPIC Truths:
- "The mediocrity that I had subscribed to willingly was a slow death. It had cost me my business, drained me of energy, and left me a life that felt painfully small."
- "You cannot demand greatness from others if you're not holding yourself to that same standard."
- “Mediocrity is a choice and Epic AF is a commitment. And if you want to live and run a business and have the experience of being truly epic, you're going to have to make that commitment and it starts with you.”
