i know religion doesn’t affect everyone this way, but i know that i lost myself in the LDS/Mormon church. i lost my voice, i lost my identity, & i lost the belief that i could ever be enough by just being myself. it is absolutely ok if this isn’t your truth or experience. but it is mine. in the 5 years since i’ve left i’ve undergone the most radical transformation i’ve ever been through. i’ve stopped being a people pleaser & bending over backwards to make other people comfy. i’ve stopped checking boxes to live up to other people’s expectations of me. i’ve stopped asking everyone else (esp men) if i’m good enough or worthy of being where i want to be. i’ve let go of my perfectionism complex & my fear of being seen in my messy vulnerability. i’ve learned how to establish boundaries around my time and my heart. i’ve learned that i am a co-creator with God/the Universe, & that i get to take an active role in creating the life of my dreams. i no longer default to someone else’s plan for me. i’ve learned that my voice is powerful and it deserves to be heard. i’m no longer afraid to take up the space i was meant to take up. i’ve found more joy and fulfillment in my close relationships than ever before, because i’m a more authentic, healed version of myself. therefore i have more to give & more capacity to receive. i’ve solo traveled for months at a time while deepening my connection with the world & myself (currently in Costa Rica as i type this) i’ve created art straight from the pages of my diary that has resonated with people around the world. more than anything else, i am at peace with myself. i love myself. i absolutely still have flaws & insecurities and moments of self-doubt, but i love the girl in the mirror. i am so proud of everything she’s been through. i say all of this not to brag, but to share that if you have ever struggled with any of the things above, you are not alone. religion or no religion, you deserve to find your power & your voice. if you crave this same kind of transformation, DM me or comment MASTERCLASS & i’ll send you a (totally freee) class about how to honor all the parts that make you YOU. here for your growth 🫶🏼
somehow i feel high maintenance when i text a lowercase-only texter?? #showerthoughts #random
everything ✍️ happens ✍️ for a reason ✍️ i think back to the version of Kelsey who spent her life checking boxes based on what other people said would make her happy. ✅ go to college ✅ serve a Mormon mission ✅ work a corporate job ✅ high achiever at work/school/church ✅ focus on getting married & starting a family i want to clarify that all of the above things are great, and if that’s been your life path, that’s awesome. for me, the problem was that i thought that was the ONLY way to be happy. pick one thing, do the one life path, and if those things aren’t working out, something’s wrong. as i neared the end of college @ BYU, i started to get very uncomfortable with how “wrong” things were. all of my friends were married and starting a family, but i was single as ever. what was wrong with me? all i wanted was to be a wife/mom. after working corporate jobs in marketing, PR & advertising for a few years, i realized how much i didn’t like life at a desk. i craved novelty and change and learned i didn’t like being an employee. in 2017 i turned down an internship at one of the largest PR firms in NYC & went on my first international trip to Europe for 5 weeks. on that trip, everything changed. i had never had so much space & so much freedom to just BE. no one had any expectations of me. when i came back, i had a completely fresh slate. i realized all the tiny boxes i had been squishing myself into because people told me they’d make me happy. 9-5? religion? everyone else’s expectations of me? none of it was working. i’m a creative at heart & knew that’s where my heart was calling me. when my college friends were starting cool corporate jobs, i started a business. i learned how to create multiple streams of passive income & moved to LA to pursue my acting dreams. i started therapy & re-programming my mind—chipping away at limiting beliefs & the identities, lifestyles, patterns & habits i’d created around them (what i call boxes). i created art (song & film) about this & have said yes to countless cool opportunities since moving here. my butterfly effect is still unfolding, so take the leap! follow your dreams. here to help you along the way 🫶🏼
am i the only one who didn’t know this? 🤯 also, who said we can’t master more than one thing? #multihyphenate #multihyphenmethod #multipassionate #multipassionateentrepreneur #multipassionatecreative
i used to role play very simple, no biggie phone calls with my mom, because i was so stressed about not knowing the outcome of the conversation. “but what do i say if they say ________?” now i throw myself in random countries, totally alone, not knowing the language and not always knowing where i’m going to sleep at night 😇 crazy what happens when we let go of the need to control.. even crazier what happens when we learn to trust ourselves and our intuition above everything else 🫶🏼 if you want to strengthen your intuition and your relationship with yourself, comment or DM me MASTERCLASS and i’ll send you a freeee lil class to help you do exactly that 🙂 #solotravel #solotraveler #femalesolotraveler #growth #mindset #intuition #selftrust #trust #authentic #authenticity #authentic💯 #growthmindset #personaldevelopment #abundance #abundant

we all know this scenario: you’re scrolling through IG, minding your own business, then BAM you’re smacked in the face by someone who seems to be doing literally everything better than you. they’re better looking than you, smarter than you, more successful than you, etc. you get that stabbing feeling in your gut of guilt mixed with shame, and you run down the laundry list of reasons you feel horribly inadequate compared to them. does that sound familiar? cause it does for me. it just happened in fact 🫠 what i’ve realized over the years is that every time i’m feeling jealous, i’m actually feeling scarce. i’m feeling lack, and i’m feeling like there’s not enough. because SHE’S pretty, i can’t be. because SHE’S having success, i can’t. and that’s simply not true. an abundance mindset knows there is more than enough to go around. there is enough for everyone, and someone else’s success doesn’t take away from mine. in fact, someone having success and coming into my space (digitally or IRL) is actually a sign that i am also worthy of that level of success. it proves to me that i am an energetic match for success, and if she can do it, so can i! thank you, successful person, for being a signal to me of my own abundance and potential. instead of staying in the feelings of guilt, shame and anger (because, let’s be honest, those emotions are really what jealousy boils down to), we can 1. ask ourselves what this person is mirroring back to us that we don’t like about ourselves, and 2. pull ourselves out of scarcity by sending them energetic “well wishes” for everything we feel triggered by. when we do that, we remove the power of the trigger and remind ourselves that if they can have great levels of success, so can we. there’s enough to go around, and their success does not take away from our ability to have success. in fact, it’s even more proof that that level of success is available to us too. save this post for next time you feel triggered, and let me know if you have any other tips or tricks in the comments 🙂 ⬇️⬇️ #mindset #growthmindset #growth #jealousy #peptalk #comparison #comparisontrap #jealous #jealousyjealousy
currently on a mission to get back to waking up early and re-implementing all the habits i spent the last 3 months building 🫠 feel free to join if you do a lot of things too, and can benefit from having a little structure! keyword: “a little,” because most of us creatives benefit from having some flexibility and fluidity in our routines as well. 🙂 it’s all about finding the balance! #multihyphenate #multipassionate #multipassionateentrepreneur #multipassionatecreative #creative #idotoomanythings #nomoreboxes

have you ever felt like you struggle to pick one thing?
the identity of being someone who doesn’t finish projects is the problem 🫠 shame slows you down, and not every idea was meant to make it through every stage of the creative process. you finish what lights you up, and that’s okay! does this resonate? ⬇️⬇️ #multihyphenate #multipassionate #creative #multipassionateentrepreneur #multipassionatecreative #adhd #neurodivergent #actress #actor #artist #creator #entrepreneur

for as long as i can remember, people have told me to pick one thing, focus on one thing, narrow it down to one thing, niche down, etc. etc. even when i tell people a few of the things i do, they’ll often still ask “which one do you feel pulled to the most?” as someone who thrives wearing multiple hats, the idea of choosing one thing literally feels like a d3@th sentence. if i lose any of the things i’m passionate about, i am less me. for the longest time i thought this was a weakness, but only recently have i realized that it is, in fact, my greatest strength. i can thrive in SO many areas. i’ve accomplished things as a multi-passionate, multi-hyphenate human that i didn’t even know were possible. and the best part is, i have never sacrificed any of my passions to do so. there are some people who LOVE doing one thing and are really successful at the one thing they do. i think that’s amazing and it’s absolutely a strategy that works. but contrary to popular opinion, it’s not the ONLY strategy. for people with multiple passions and interests, that strategy will likely cause massive anxiety and feeling out of alignment. once i stopped boxing myself in to choosing one path and one lifestyle, everything changed. where are my fellow multi-passionates? you’re not alone, let me know you’re here 🫶🏼⬇️ #multipassionate #multipassionateentrepreneur #multipassionatecreative #multipassionatewomen #multihyphenmethod #multihyphenate #creative #multiplepassions #entrepreneur #musician #artist #singer #actor #actress #filmmaking #filmmaker

From screening Box Boy in an auditorium with no power (the filmmaker Q&A was lit by phone flashlights alone), to my aunt’s funeral, to event-hopping at Sundance Slamdance, the past couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Having a career in the arts is sometimes crazyy but i honestly love it and wouldn’t trade it for a thing. 🙂 #lifeupdate #recap #diarypost #multihypenate #multipassionate #multipassionateentrepreneur #filmfestival #indiefilm #indiefilmmaker
