YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND. 

You have within you a genius, a badass, a beautiful source of love. It is your awesome… and it has all the answers.

It is your roadmap to the life you want, and the ticket you need to get there.

But over the years, your awesome has been squashed under what constitutes “proper” behavior in today’s society.


It has been bullied into submission by people who were trying to protect you from failure.

It has been pushed aside in order to better fit into the mold that other people have created for you.

IT'S TIME TO SET YOUR AWESOME FREE.

#tbt to a time when my work dress code was a bikini and a whistle, a time when my job was dolphin research, care and training, a time when I would frequently find fish scales in my belly button, a time when I was overworked and underpaid and a time when I was owning my intuition and leading with love. . I remember going to the career services office in college. I majored in psychology and art history and minored in biology. I didn’t want to go to med school. I was an athlete and team captain so I got recruited by a lot of investment companies. I wanted nothing to do with investing. The career counselors had no idea what to do with me. . I didn’t fit in any boxes. . I still don’t fit in any boxes—and I like it like that. Boxes aren’t for people, by the way. . I took a roundabout route to becoming a confidence coach—from researcher to vet tech to naturalist to marine biologist to science writer to group fitness instructor to personal trainer to triathlon coach and finally to confidence coach. I wouldn’t change a thing. And to the girl in this photo, I would say, “you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Keep following the joy.”
“How you treat food is a reflection of how you live your life.” - @ericaballardhealth. . Erica Ballard is a Healthy Living Expert and Coach who helps women and men all over the country ditch the diets, drop the self-sabotage, and finally gain control over their food and health. She specializes in upping one’s productivity and focus through food and works closely with clients to identity foods and habits that fuel their professional and personal goals. . Erica believes better food leads to a better life and is on a mission to show people that they can enjoy healthy lives despite their busy schedules. . This is a fun conversation with a whole lot of truth bombs. We talk about health, community, self worth, sleep, meditation, and, of course, food. Erica doesn’t hold anything back and that’s one of the things I adore about her. Prepare to take notes, friends, there are some gems in this episode. . Listen on iTunes, Stitcher and at my website. I can’t wait to hear what you take away from this one!
Fun fact: this mug is empty. The only warm beverage I drink is warm water with lemon. And I drink it in a pint glass with a stainless steel straw. Every. Single. Morning. . It’s a non-negotiable for me. In fact my whole morning routine is non-negotiable. Warm water with lemon 🍋 meditation 🧘‍♀️ mobility and activation exercises 💪🏼 all before I look at email and social media. . Why? Because “good fences make good neighbors” (thanks Robert Frost) and solid boundaries help me remember that my energy is sacred. . How do you remind yourself that your energy is sacred? . . . 📷 @laurenbodwell . . #boundaries #goodfencesmakegoodneighbors #selfcare #nonnegotiable #confidence #confidencecoach #mindfulness #meditation #morningroutine
Honor the ease. . We’re a tangle of contradictions. We say we crave space, expansiveness and ease. . Yet, when we get that space, we try to fill it up. When we feel expansive, we wonder what we “should” be doing. And when we’re offered the gift of ease, we try to complicate things or make them harder. . What if we honored the ease? What if we used that space to breathe? What if we allowed ourselves to BE expansive? . #inconspicuousawesomeness #confidence #confidencecoach #ease #flow #space #expansive
Everyday is a new day. Every moment is a brand new moment. . Every day, we have a fresh new opportunity to do epic shit. . Every day, we’re given a new opportunity to BE EPIC. . #inconspicuousawesomeness #bettysquad18 #doepicshit #beepic
“We spend a lot of our time vacillating between boredom and anxiety. If you’re anxious, then it probably means you need to get busy developing new skills. If you’re bored, you’ve got to challenge yourself more and push yourself out of your comfort zone. We need to be wary of being on a plateau and not moving on to the next vista because we’re daunted by the path it takes to get there, or because we’re simply comforted by having reached a plateau.” - George Mumford. . Humans are meant to grow. We’re designed to explore and expand. We’re here to fail and flop and pivot and squirm and learn and thrive. . Are you bored? Are you anxious. Are you resting on a plateau? . You always have a choice. . #inconspicuousawesomeness #quote #inspiration #kickinthepants #confidence #confidencecoach #motivation #mindfulness

Huge thanks to my soul sister @lizawitonis for helping me see that the should monster had snuck into my head. . The sneaky dude has gotten a lot wiser since we last interacted. He knows that words and phrases like “should, supposed to, need to, have to and must” send up serious red flags for me. And yet, he had somehow planted the seed that I had to do things the way other people have done them. . I don’t. Because I’m not those people. I am Kelsey Abbott. And I am standing in my truth. . What’s keeping you from standing in your truth? . #inconspicuousawesomeness #confidence #confidencecoach #mindfulness #mindfulnesscoach #findyourawesome
