She al...

186: We all know podcasting blew up in the last 5-10 years. Huge shows like "Call Her Daddy" penned a $60M deal with Spotify (yes, that's an M for million), "Dirty John" turned into a TV show, and "Serial" is still a cult-fan favorite years later - we're still invested into what happened with Adnan's case. But what REALLY goes on behind the scenes? Why...

185: Do you feel like a mad scientist every day? You have minimum 12 tabs open at all times. You have Post-Its everywhere. A bunch of different notebooks are strewn along your desk and bedside, as well as digital sticky notes, half-used paper planners, and a white board that has an old quote from 3 months ago. You SWEAR the white board was going to help you become a master planner! You, my friend,...

184: Social media has made it easy for us to not only express ourselves and connect with each other, it’s also helped businesses and brands reach success by going viral. Hi TikTok! But what happens when our mental health suffers, or we can’t keep up with algorithm changes, or we just plain hate the platforms we’re on? We’d rather poke our eyeballs out than make another Reel pointing to bubbles, ye...

183: When you’re tied to your desk in a corporate office, eyes glued to a MacBook screen, eating a Sweetgreen salad at your desk, and working overtime, (even though no one asked you to), the thought of quitting to start your own business and throw this whole “corporate thing” in the trash sounds dreamy. But what happens when you leave, and have to shed an old identity? An identity built on accolad...

182: Ever check your to-do list and see small tasks like “send email”, “send gift”, and “pay online bill”, and get EXTREMELY overwhelmed? “How can it be THIS hard?!” you think. Sending an email takes 5 mins! You can send an e-gift! And the online bill is just entering your credit card info. But somehow, you wait until the last minute, when the pressure is on, the timer is counting down, and the cr...

181: Did you know millennials are the most burned-out generation, with 59% experiencing some symptoms of burnout? And Gen Z burns out much faster than any other generation: they went from 47% to 58% in just a year?!  Recovering from burnout is never easy. But it shouldn’t be that hard as well. Chelsea learns from the burnout recovery expert herself, KC Rossi, on how to get over getting burned out...

178: Are you someone who regrets investing in a business coach, so much so that it keeps you up at night, and you can’t believe what you paid for? Are you tired of spending your life savings and not getting the results you want for your biz? Is it really on you, or is it because the business coaching industry has a few cracks that need to be sealed, like yesterday? On this week’s episode, Chelsea...

177: Are you someone who rolls their eyes when you hear someone talk about astrology, their birth chart, or their “Big 3”? Or maybe it does sound intriguing, but you just don’t get how it works. Is it real, or just total B.S.? On this week’s episode, Chelsea sits down with Dana from Self-Help Witch, to discuss: Dana’s journey to discovering astrology - it was actually prompted by a weight-loss jou...

176: How do you create a podcast consistently for over five years without resenting the process or the system that’s supposed to support your creative output?

Today, Chelsea sits down with Lynnette Wennerstrom, a holistic astrologer with a passion for inspiring others to explore their unique astro...

173: We need to talk ASAP. The obsession with scaling into outer space, hit 100k followers, get a blue check mark, and become a millionaire in our first year of business is hurting our mental health, well-being, relationships, and enjoyment of life. In this solo episode, Chelsea breaks down why growing slow is actually the key to a sustainable, healthy business and lifestyle, and how the pursuit o...

172: The way we work is changing - workforces are going fully remote, offices are offering hybrid work, and people are working across borders now more than ever. How is this possible?! That's what Chelsea shares in today's episode: Remote Work 101! Prepare to hear about: How to get the right paperwork and visas to work overseas (some are easy breezy, some are... not) Extending your stay...

171: Kelly Carlson is the host of "One Bad Habit" Podcast , the go-to podcast for micro-habits. However, habits weren't always the primary focus of her life.

169: Sam and Juliette from Siesta Key teach me more about communication than my Bachelor's Degree in the same field. Shep from Southern Charm shows me how using high-level vocabulary is a way to exert dominance in a conversation, but he does so in the douchiest way possible. Why am I referencing reality TV? Because it taught me SO MUCH about non-verbal and verbal cues, making connections, and...

168: Influencers, celebs and mega coaches are often treated as mythical Gods. We think they’re untouchable, immune to the suffering life brings, and have zero worries in the world. We think they don’t deal with the “everyday” things we do — paying an extra $25 on DoorDash for a 14 inch pizza that costs $18 or feeling insecure when their crush ghosts them on Date 3. When we put them on pedestals, w...

167: We all have intuition. That deeper knowing. That feeling you can’t explain. It usually comes to us in moments of stillness. In today’s world, stillness is... practically non-existent. We’re too busy to meditate. Too tired to journal. Too impatient to do breath-work. Not to mention, absolutely inundated with content, opinions, news, and requests. Connecting with our intuition and making space...
