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.

It’s okay . It’s okay to be open-hearted AND have strong boundaries. . It’s okay to say, “this isn’t right for my business.” . It’s okay to say, “this isn’t right for me.” . It’s okay to decide that someone’s behavior towards you is unacceptable. . It’s okay not to air the episode. . It’s okay not to publish the article. . It’s okay not to have the conversation. . It’s okay to say, “NO.” . In fact, the stronger our boundaries are, the easier it is for us to give our open-hearted energy to those we choose to serve. . 2019 seems to be coming in hot with a strong boundary theme for a lot of us. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m right here with you. Go forth with a strong back and a soft heart, my warrior friends.
I AM HERE TO BE SEEN. . It hasn’t always been like that. . Flash back to 4th grade when the poem I’d memorized for the school declamation contest had the word “breast” in it. When I recited the poem in front of my class, some kids had snickered when I said “breast” so when I moved on to the next round and stood in front of my entire grade, I pretended to forget a line so I wouldn’t have to say, “breast.” . I didn’t want to be seen. . And flash back to a college swim meet when I intentionally slowed down a tiny bit to avoid coming in first. . I still didn’t want to be seen. . And then flash back to 2014, when I chose “sparkle” as my word of the year because I finally wanted to be seen. . Just because we’ve wanted one thing before doesn’t mean we have to keep wanting it. We get to change our minds. . We get to transform. . YOU get to transform. . If you’re ready to release some old patterns and welcome flow and abundance, send me a message. . Sparkle on, friends. .
The Aztec word “Ollin” (pronounced ALL-in) means to act now with all your heart. When one was Ollin, the Aztecs imagined that person wearing their heart on their face so their eyes could see clearly. . I wear my heart on my face. . And yes, sometimes that means I get hurt. . AND it also means I get to receive all of your beautiful words of affirmation. . Thank you so amazingly much to everyone who sent love in response to yesterday’s post. I feel so loved and supported and SEEN. Thank you, wonderful humans. 🥰 I love you.
I was told recently that I can come off as “intimidating” and “brash” in my online presence. I took the words in. I allowed them to roll around in my being. I looked at my posts. And they didn’t fit. . They hurt my heart and woke me with tears last night. . That’s not who I am and it’s the exact opposite of how I want to show up in this world (and in this online world). . I’ve shared my journeys of pain, healing and resilience. I’ve shared the lessons. I’ve shared my joy. I have shown up with my heart on my face. Because that is the only way I know how to do it. . I only know how to be me. I only know how to feel everything deeply. I only know how to lead with love. . And here’s what I know about social media: it’s only a snippet. . Some words may trigger us. Some images may lead us to tell stories. . I try to show my heart in everything I put out into the world. But maybe you can’t see it. Maybe you can’t see the deep love I have for every soul on this planet (except the nope snakes, I’m still working on those). . Authenticity is my top value. Being me is everything to me. . I believe that we can be spiritual and funny. We can be athletic and woo. We can overflow with gratitude and be excited for growth. . We are made of billions of different pieces and we are all one. . I love you.
Hey there. I’m Kelsey. . I’m consistently in awe of the world around me and regularly amused by this human experience. . I help spirit-driven athletes balance the physical and spiritual aspects of their sport so they can find abundance and flow in all areas of their lives. .

Rachel and I had so much fun in this conversation. We dove head first into people-pleasing and “shoulding” on ourselves and others. And from there, we talked about sex and our awkward humanness around the topic. Join us as we practice naming some important body parts and join the effort to remove the stigma around sex and help make the world a better place. I hope you’ll laugh with us and come away with some big aha’s. And please share this episode with everyone. Let’s put the effort into spreading positivity. . A psychotherapist and therapeutic relationship coach, Rachel Wright is recognized as one of the freshest voices on modern and millennial relationships. She is the co-founder of Wright Wellness Center where she is on a mission to help people have better sex, relationships, and mental health, through a growing catalog of master classes, online programs, resources and a supportive online community. She’s been referred to as someone “bridging the gap between a self-help book and a therapist's couch.” Rachel is also a sex educator, speaker, and writer, and the co-host of the Bachelor-themed podcast The Wright Reasons, which hosts a weekly discussion about all things The Bachelor through the lens of healthy relationships. She has been featured widely in the media, including Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Women’s Health, NBC News Radio, PsychologyToday, MindBodyGreen, Bustle, and dozens of other outlets. .

I recently heard Liz Gilbert say, "We're all in fourth grade our entire lives. We have so little faith in our essential right to be here that we never stop trying to pay rent just for the gift of existing." . Read that last part again: "We have so little faith in our essential right to be here that we never stop trying to pay rent just for the gift of existing." . We feel like we need to earn our worth. We feel like we do or don't *deserve* to receive, to play or to be free. . We are constantly waiting for permission. . We do the same thing when it comes to investing in coaching. . We think, "So and so is having a really tough time, she really deserves a coach, but I don't." And, "I can coach myself through this." Or, "Everyone struggles, why should I get to work with a coach?" Or, "I need to make more money before I hire a coach." . You will get through this eventually. You may continue muddling through mediocrity for a while, but you will get there. You may numb your way to acceptance, but you will get there. You may be 90 years old when you finally get there, but you will get there. . Coaching can get you there faster. . And this is your permission slip. . I hereby grant you permission to invest in yourself. I give you permission to let it be ease-y. I offer you permission to accept that you have a right to be here, that your existence is a gift to the world and that you are special enough to receive the gift of coaching. . I currently have openings for one-on-one coaching and group coaching. I see you, beautiful being. You are allowed to exhale. .

Your dog is a perfect ball of joy deserving of all the love in the world. . And so are you 💗
