Guide not Guru with Kelly Brock
Guide Not Guru is a podcast for women who are done outsourcing their authority.
Hosted by Kelly Brock, this space is devoted to conscious, embodied leadership as a lived experience—not a performance or a formula. After more than 17 years mentoring women in business and self-leadership, Kelly has seen what happens when success outpaces integration, and when intuition is overridden by external expectations.
These conversations are an invitation to slow down and return to the truth that's already within you. We explore sovereignty, self-trust, presence, and the foundations of lasting leadership—at home - in parenting and marriage, in business and money, and in the quiet moments where real power is formed.
This is not a podcast about fixing yourself or becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering how to lead from within.
If you’re ready to live and lead without adopting someone else’s blueprint—and to let your life be the teaching—you’re in the right place.

Dating Yourself, Being A Highly Sensitive Person, and Embracing Authenticity with Paden Hughes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s an intimate version of yourself that you might not even be familiar with. As social creatures, we’re constantly surrounded by others, thinking about others, and serving others in a multitude of ways. That is why I’ve invited my dear friend, Paden Hughes, to share her transformation and why it’s so important to date yourself. Paden starts by sharing her story from who she used to be, to who she is today and how she got there. We discuss her ego death and how the high-sensitivity test revealed so much about herself that she didn’t know before. After that realization, Paden has changed her life drastically for the better. She’s focused on protecting her energy, health, and mental well-being. And as a result, she’s functioning in her most aligned and energized self.
Paden shares why setting boundaries is imperative for your health, and why you should communicate your boundaries and honor yourself – even if it feels hard. Then we move into an important conversation about being alone with yourself. This is something that many people aren’t comfortable with. But dating yourself is the only way to learn who you really are, what you truly value, and how you gain self-sovereignty. This is an important episode that you cannot miss. Tune in, learn to love yourself fully, and watch your life unfold in beautiful ways.
We discuss:
- Who is Paden, who she was, and how the journey she went on changed her life
- How Paden’s ego death changed her and how the high-sensitivity test revealed so much to her
- Focusing on outcomes instead of hours
- Why setting boundaries is imperative for your health
- The importance of communicating your boundaries and honoring yourself
- Why you should learn to be alone with yourself
- The importance of self-sovereignty
- How to regulate your nervous system
- Why it’s so important to date yourself and take time with yourself
