Becoming an Awakened Achiever with Kristy Kilduff
In this episode, Kelly is joined by Kristy Kilduff, founder of the Awakened Achiever community. They dive into what it means to build intentional community as a high-achieving woman navigating modern life. Kristy shares her journey of balancing ambition with presence—both at work and at home—and how that inspired her to create a space for women to feel seen, supported, and aligned.
They talk about Kristy’s upcoming virtual offering, The Power Pause, a short but powerful morning reset designed to ground and center women before the day begins. The conversation explores how community, mindfulness, and authentic leadership can fuel sustainable success—without burnout.
Together, Kelly and Kristy explore:
- The origin story behind the Awakened Achiever community
- What it means to become before you build
- The power of female leadership and creating psychological safety through change
- Real talk on boundaries, burnout, and the messiness of work-life integration
- How passion-fueled projects (like The Power Pause) can transform how we show up in the world
Tune in to get inspired, grounded, and reminded that you’re not alone in the dance between ambition and alignment.
