Creating Light with Kelsey

Since the spring equinox I have been running my program, Ascend The Underworld Within. This program teaches you how to gain a relationship with your darkness to free yourself from internal suffering. To live a liberated life. This has been my soul's mission to deliver this medicine. By facilitating it for the first time to its completion this past year, it has shown me the importance of centering...

Rejecting parts of self... we all do it. This is a protective mechanism that we automatically do in order to survive in the environments we grow up in. If a personality trait of the self is deemed unworthy or unlovable by our caregivers or society, we start to reject (suppress) those parts of self. We do this in order to receive love an belonging, which are basic needs as humans in order to surviv...

Remember who you are... what a concept, right? I had a healer tell me this over a year ago, to which my ego quickly responded to that statement with, "Pretty sure I remember who the fuck I am, but thank you." LOL... On this episode, I share how that statement now makes sense, and that I did in fact forget who I was. Because 2022 was a massive year of spiritual lessons where I stepped off the path...

My Story pt6. Just because we leave a traumatic relationship, situation, or toxic cycle doesn't mean we then have the capacity to remain free from it. On this episode, I share what my life was like after I had left the trauma bonded relationship (the first time) . That by leaving, it then created the space for my supressed pain to finally be felt so I could get free from internal suffering... but,...

On this episode, I discuss how I have been reconnecting to my darkness. That by re-sharing my story on the podcast it has re-surfaced shadow aspects of self that I didn't realized I had abandoned. They are being seen again and it's been challenging. Trust has been broken, fear is present, vulnerability is at the forefront, and my shadows have a lot to say. Deciding to no longer hide is no fucking...

Chaos is an inevitable part of life of being human. It is a guaranteed visitor at least twice a year during the spring and fall eclipse seasons. Since this is something that cannot be stopped, how can we then flow WITH chaos instead of resisting it (and hurting ourselves in the process) ? On this episode, I share how chaos has been visiting me lately, how it is mirroring a previous chaotic time fr...

On this episode, I give an introduction of what dreamwork is and how working with your dreams is a powerful tool for healing! Dreams do mean something and they are incredibly valuable in that they provide a direct pathway to our unconscious mind. As we continue to learn ways to connect to the self beyond conscious awareness is how healing gets to integrate, which means lasting change gets to take...

We're getting comfy cozy in this episode as I speak on the topic of relationships and sexuality as a teenager while I'm recording this in my teenage-hood bedroom. Visiting my parents couldn't be more timely in the (pre-planned) episodes that happened to then be recorded at this time... For today, I continue to dive in on why it's so important for us as adults, to talk to our children about sex and...

On this episode, I share what it takes logistically to become an Art Therapist! How much schooling you have to go through, a few things to expect while you're in school, and what the process is like after school to become fully credentialed and practice independently. Becoming an Art Therapist is quite the process, but if you feel called to be with people in their darkness through creative means,...

This is such an important episode that provides various layers to the subject. Listen with curiosity at the forefront and still consult with any medical professionals you see fit if you are also questioning your own sensations of depression. But, it is no coincidence, that I never had experienced a severe episode of depression until I became aware of the trauma I had endured. That once I became aw...

In this episode, I talk about the process of overcoming avoidance. How it often can be a complex issue of it being something that we ultimately do not want to do and may have the conscious awareness of how it does not serve us, but can struggle to break out of using avoidance as a coping mechanism. I share how for me, I was becoming overwhelmed with past traumatic memories along with needing to fa...

My Story pt5. This episode is incredibly full with beautiful insights and vulnerability. Trauma bonds are something that I believe most people experience at least once in their life. It often has lasting affects. Pending on the severity of the relationship dynamic, it can take years to break free, let alone heal from, and for some people, they never break the cycle. In this episode, I reveal the p...

My Story Part 4. I share how the healing journey {truly} began for me. This is a beautiful position to be in where my journey has been documented. That I get to share this with you all. That you get to see how messy it can all be, how lost one can feel within their darkness, but you also get to see the impermanence of it. That liberation is possible. So, thank you for being here. Thank you for wit...

My Story pt3. Welcome back for the continuation of telling my story. This is part 3 and all that I had recorded from 2021 in regards to revealing the trauma history, the impacts it had on the psyche, and how it also exists within the collective. This episode really shines a light on the ways childhood trauma turns into the programming we will opperate off of as an adult, BUT it also shines a light...

In this episode, I share the recording of my akashic record reading! This is the third reading I have received from my friend Bree. I get a reading from her about once a year and they provide so much value. It gives guidance on what a focal point would be for my growth at this time. But why I feel called to share them on a podcast episode each year is because I know the tools given and the struggl...
