Creating Light with Kelsey

My Story pt2. This topic is a tough one. As I face my darkness again, I am reminded how this trauma is not unique. The effects of it is something that is still very much alive in today's world. In this episode, I talk about the suppression of the feminine voice. How this wound has been imbedded into the psyche and how it can show up as a limiting belief, yet, this belief runs much deeper than the...

In this episode, I provide more space to unpack a couple potent points I made last week. Language is incredibly important in how it shapes the way we view ourselves and the world, and whether or not we'd like to admit it, certain sayings do get embedded into our psyche. I wanted to take a moment to shine a light on 2 seemingly innocent phrases adults often say to children that can be detrimental t...

My Story pt1. I feel so fucking uncomfortable re-releasing these episodes from 2021. The stories are LOUD. Any excuse, any reason, to put this off. To not have this be seen. This is a new layer of unearthing. It doesn't feel like it did when I was first facing my darkness. Hell, it doesn't even feel like it did when I first publicly told my story in 2020  (which was in a room full of around 150 pe...

In this episode, I am coming out of hiding. I've realized I stepped out of integrity when it came to my original intention of creating this podcast and even the purpose of me being a guide for others. A part of my soul's mission is to share my experiences, to lead by example, and to then teach others what I've learned with healing. Around two years ago though, I took down all my episodes where I s...

This is an incredibly special moment because it is the re-release of my very first podcast episode!! I started this show back in 2021 on a mission to share my story and show the world that "even in the midst of pain, I had found purpose." How I could "create light while feeling the darkness." But in 2022, I decided to take all the episodes down. I could feel a massive internal shift happening that...

The art of being lost can be seen as a form of an ego death. I see it as a phase of life that visits us after our ego has already "died" because we are then completely in the unknown. We are lost. Then the journey of this phase is about shifting into a new level of soul embodiment. In this episode, I read a section from the book Soulcraft, which breaks down this lovely art form. I also share how I...

What happens when you've arrived at this reality that took years to create for yourself? It may seem like a simple concept. Like, of course after reaching a new state of existing it's going to require a reevaluation of what needs to be done in order to maintain this. But also, you're in a place you've never been in before, so you don't actually know what to do yet. In the spirituality realm, it is...

Exciting news!! You know how last episode we dove deep into the importance of feeling anger and accepting what is?? Well... my world has completely shifted after I allowed myself to embody those two aspects again as this chapter of life was trying to come to a close. It's aways so funny to me how quickly things get to change when we remember the simplicity of feeling our feelings and being gratefu...

On this episode, I share how anger and acceptance go hand in hand with healing. That once we allow ourselves to feel angry, we create space to embody acceptance about a situation; once we accept a situation without trying to control its natural cycle, we create space to allow anger to flow through. We cannot have one without the other. I share how I have been suppressing anger to the point that it...

I experienced a whole ass breakthrough in the midst of recording this episode. I had been feeling lost and confused for a while, but did not quite understand the extent of it. I was doing my best to trust the process. Then a few weeks ago multiple healers that I had crossed paths with were telling me, "Remember who you are." That statement definitely triggered me! My immediate thought was, "Uhhh p...

In this episode, I was interviewed on the Mystic Mamas podcast! They graciously gave me the audio to put on the Creating Light platform. Go subscribe to their podcast, here. And go follow them on instagram @mysticmamas.podcast ! For this interview, we dive into getting out of the head and into the body through somatic movement while going into further detail of what Somatic Activated Healing is an...

Whaddup, I'm back after a little bit of a break! Not going to lie, perfectionsim got the best of me there. The way I was editing each episode's audio and visual was taking up so much time with how I was recording because I was fairly particular over what I was saying. Now I have decided to show up, speak, and not edit, which gives me back SO MUCH TIME!  Since it's been a little over two months, I...

Sounds like a cruel joke, right? That the way to get free is to own the thing that has us feeling imprisoned. I get it. In this episode, I discuss the first time I owned my suffering, accepted my darkness (vs just facing it), and as a result, each time I continue to feel my pain, feelings of liberation follow. That's the dance. Darkness and liberation leading the way on this earth game, but we DO...

Welcome to the inception episode of my spiritual awakenings!! This is a juicy one. In this episode, I reflect on a previous episode I released back in 2021 that discussed my first ever spiritual awakening that happened back in 2018. So, this is JAM PACKED with past versions of self, differing persepctives, and evidence of evolution. Spiritual awakenings are powerful shifts in our existence that sh...

In this episode, I discuss what the difference is between Self-Development and the Healing Journey, why it's important to incorporate both, and how to be minful of when we start to use self-development practices as a means of distraction. I share the importance of establishing a baseline before diving into the depths of the healing journey. From my experience, I reveal how I spiraled into maladapt...

What a journey i have been experiencing in finding my footing as a podcast host. It's such an odd phenomenon knowing that I'm meant to show up on this platform, experiencing resistance, yet figuring out a way to show up anyway. This process has been teaching me presence at a new layer and an appreciation for enjoying the journey. I truly feel grateful for this present moment and I am grateful for...

I did not plan on publicly talking about my week, but the message behind the swirly events that unfolded were too potent to not share. I experienced multiple shocks to my nervous system and it's because of my somatic practice that I had the capacity to exist in the multitude of it all, remain present, and not slip into victim mentality or the freeze response. This felt like a pivotal moment for th...

We all start somewhere, right? I am doing my best to lead by example in showing up with what I have, with the understanding that it will get better and better the more consistent I am. Since June, it's been a constant evolution of figuring it out after restarting, letting it be messy, and making shit happen. In this episode, I speak to what mindset shifts I've been embodying along with landing in...

Last week I provided guidance on when it could be time to face your darkness. Revealing 4 different ways of existing for you to get curious about, and if you related to any of it, that would be your indicator to start diving deeper within yourself. This week, I shared my process. How it started for me in facing my darkness, what I immediately did to express myself, and the seed planting of awarene...

Living in a society that glorifies disconnection, it can be tricky to recognize when it's time to face our darkness. So many disharmonious things have been normalized that we have been conditioned to turn a blind eye on tending to our internal world. In this episode, I break down 4 talking points to get curious about. That if you experience these 4 things, it is time to face your darkness. It is y...

Whew, resistance is still coming in hot, my friends!! I needed to be with it to listen to what it was asking of me. This next version of me has arrived in the now and is demanding me to show up in a specific way to maintain what I have created for myself. Tune in to hear the perspective shift that is offered when addressing the feelings of resistance!  Subscribe to my email list to gain access to...

Consistency is difficult, my friends. That's really all I have for you in this moment. I feel resistance residing right in the middle of my chest currently. It's as if I'm on the brink of something and I'm being asked to break through the threshold. I know this feeling well as an athlete, but as an entrepreneur, this is new. So, with this awareness, I continue to show up, and trust the unfolding....

In this episode, I briefly talk about what generational trauma is and then go into depth about the harsh reality of why it still continues. The topic of joy is something I have been focusing on with bringing awareness to what is waiting for us on the other side of diving into our darkness. But what if we do all of this hard work and this life we thought would be here never shows up for us? THIS is...

7 seems to be quite the number! Did you know that it only takes 7 years for the body to create all new cells? Did you know that it can take an orange seed 7 years of growth before it bears fruit? Did you know that it can take at least 7 years after a traumatic incident before the psyche is ready to face the past and heal? This intricate time frame of 7 years had me thinking... I have been facing m...
