Comfort is The Cage

Control Your Life or Keep Making Excuses (feat. Olivia Dykeman)

In this episode, Liv and I just went all in. This is one of those conversations that started off-record and I was like… yeah, we need to hit record on this. We talk about what it actually looks like to take control of your life. Not the highlight reel version, the real version. The one where you have to get honest with yourself about your habits, your time, and what you keep saying you want… but aren’t prioritizing. We get into how people are way too focused on things they can’t control, while completely ignoring the things right in front of them that would actually change their life. We also go into: * why “I don’t have time” isn’t real * how your daily habits are either building confidence or destroying it * the truth about fitness, discipline, and overcomplicating everything * when to push yourself harder vs when to actually pull back * and why most people stay stuck in the same cycles There’s some tough love in here, but it’s coming from experience on both sides. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you keep starting over… this is the episode you need. Social Media: @kaylee.branstad @oliviadykeman3

Raw Talk on Fitness, Discipline, and Not Giving a F*ck (feat. Olivia Dykeman)

In this unfiltered episode, I sit down with my friend Olivia for a brutally honest conversation about fitness, personal growth, and cutting through the BS. From our unconventional first meeting to deep dives on discipline, sobriety, and self-accountability, nothing is off limits. Olivia shares her journey from welding to fitness coaching, overcoming trauma, and building the confidence to look in the mirror and say "I built that." We discuss why most people fail at their goals, the real cost of convenience, and why being kind is different from being nice.

Learning to Feel Safe in My Own Skin (feat. Tina Lowe)

From avoiding mirrors and feeling like an imposter to stepping fully into her identity, she opens up about the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the mindset shifts that helped her reclaim confidence, feel at peace in her own skin, and trust herself again.

Playing the Game of Life (feat. Paulie Calafiore)

In this episode of The Plan, I sit down with Paulie Calafiore, reality TV veteran from Big Brother, The Challenge, Ex on the Beach, and Vanderpump Villas, to go beyond the headlines and dive into personal growth, mindset, and what it really takes to compete, not just on screen, but in life. Paulie shares a rare perspective on his time in reality TV, and we also explore what he’s done beyond the Challenge, the work he’s put into himself, and how he approaches life, accountability, and personal growth off camera. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand the difference between public perception and real self-mastery, and for those looking for actionable insight on owning your journey, building confidence, and leaning into challenges in a meaningful way.

Comfort is The Cage

Most people blame time, stress, genetics, or past failures. The truth is harder, a lack of awareness and accountability keeps you repeating the same patterns while convincing yourself you’re trying. Kaylee walks through how autopilot thinking, ego, and comfort disguised as safety quietly block progress. She challenges you to see your habits honestly, recognize the excuses you’ve normalized, and understand why awareness is the real starting point for change. This episode is a call to stop negotiating with comfort and start taking ownership. Growth doesn’t begin with motivation, it begins with awareness. Social Media: @kaylee.branstad
