Eeek. At the risk of sounding crazy or sharing vulnerable details, I need to give credit where credit is due: God showed me a miracle this week in a moment that really tested my faith, and I'm sharing it in the hopes that it's what you need to hear. This is a longer episode, but if you stick around until the end, the last part might be most important of all. This is the truth behind why I do what I do. Sincerely, Kelsey...

Oh man. I came across Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 this morning and thought: "THIS WOULD HAVE RESOLVED SO MUCH AGNST AND DISAPPOINTMENT if I had memorized this before trying to get a new job or start my business!" Because this passage perfectly sums up a life-changing lesson we often forget: Trying to predict the shortest path to success is often a waste of time. We don't know what God is going to work through. Just take faithful action and trust that God will probably surprise you with what ends up work...

I’m recording this episode to (hopefully once and for all) give you the PEACE and confidence you need to finally reach out to people who can make a huge difference in your career! Because the fact is, so many of us hold back from reaching out to people in companies or careers we admire, just because we’re worried about bothering them, annoying them, being pushy, or "using" them to achieve your goals. To me this is so sad, because the reality is that, as long as you take the obvious and simple st...

Over the last 2.5 years since starting my career coaching practice, I’ve gotten to be in a very unique place where I get to observe and help people make decisions (big and small) in my daily work. I also get to help people comb through their story to pinpoint what past decisions were truly from God, and which were made up of meaning and purpose that didn’t turn out to be there. Through all this, I knew it’s time to bring up the themes I’ve observed in how to discern a true calling from a fake on...

Isn't it funny how "dreaming" can be hard sometimes? It's easy for our brains to demolish a fun thought with, "Well, that's not really possible, so there's no use thinking about it." Even as a dreamer/imaginative type, I fall into this trap all the time! But the truth is, our imaginations are GOD-GIVEN! It's a good and faithful thing to open your mind and ask God, "What are the exciting and meaningful things you'd like me to experience, create, and be a part of?" This is especially powerful in t...
