Permission to Rise

Just when I was making progress in 2023, I hit a wall!  I brought my business back home and found that the online game had changed. I wasn’t ready to start over as much as I wanted a fresh start!  Things became even more challenging when my relationship with my mom started to unravel.  I realized that sometimes things have to completely fall apart to come together. I emotionally checked out from m...

In 2023, I was tired of circling the drain. I was ready for change, and I decided to make it. I found resources that I needed and utilized them. I also utilized the resources that I already had at my disposal. I spent some time deciding what I wanted and moved toward it. Even if I didn’t know the whole picture or I didn’t know how to make everything happen, I at least made a few steps forward to g...

Season one of permission to Rise podcast is mostly serial so you’ll wanna listen to all the episodes in order. Today’s episode I had earmarked for talking about friendship. It will be about friendship, but bear with me in the beginning because I have had a lot on my mind lately and I needed to let some of it go. I have a lot to say on friendship. I left my relationship with the narcissist, feeling...

I’ll be honest after scripting, recording and editing this podcast episode, I really don’t care. In this episode, I briefly touch on my relationship with a narcissistic alcoholic. I have a lot more to say on narcissists and their behavior patterns and maybe there are future episodes for that. So to my ears, this one comes off a little bland because you might not get the full picture of what it mea...

I hired a life coach. That’s a sentence. I thought I would never say. I felt like that was such a bougie experience. I’m just an ordinary girl from a small town. Life coaches are for people with money and people who are a little more affluent, right? I’m here to tell you that’s wrong. It’s not that I don’t like therapists, but the idea of a therapist makes me feel like I’m being diagnosed. That we...

I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. Starting a business from the ground up is not as simple as it seems. I still don’t know what I’m doing. I just know that I’m not having any fun anymore.  When I started setting up my Boutique in 2019, I was following in the footsteps of someone else and not realizing just how important it is to follow my own path. Sometimes what other people are doin...

I’ve been selling things since as early as age 5. Which to me is just astounding! Also probably breaking some sort of child labor laws, but we’re not gonna talk about it. Today’s episode explores my journey through one of the last MLM companies that I sold for. It’s the company that pushed me toward building my own business, which has always been a dream of mine. Running a business whether it’s yo...

When I started scripting this episode, I thought I knew what I was gonna say. Because I’ve explained my relationship with Jack (name changed for the podcast) to many women over the last six years. And it’s always been easy to bullet point all of the things that he did and all of the ways in which he hurt me. But I found myself writing the story in a completely different way. I found myself writing...

Moving home 10 years ago was not an easy decision to make. No one actually wants to move home with their parents. OK, well, maybe some do. But I was not one of those people. I wrestled with the idea of moving home, but came to see it as an opportunity to rebuild and discover a new relationship with my mom. What I actually came to discover is that you can’t change anyone. You can’t truly influence...

Life is made up of so many choices. My choice to shop until I literally dropped set me back for years. It had me making more choices and more decisions with fear and limiting beliefs leading the way. In this week’s episode, I take you back to a time in my life where I was making choices that weren’t serving me. All of those choices added up to a decision to move home. I will more than likely deep...

Today’s episode is interrupting our normal broadcasting to walk down memory lane. My Grandma Lois died seven years ago today and I thought it fitting for me to sit down and talk about how much I love and miss her. This episode is not scripted like the others so it has a different feel to it.  Today, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the impact she had on my life and how I carry her with me e...

Does everything feel a little heavy right now? Are you struggling with so many things that you don’t know where to begin making change in your life? I found myself in that exact place when Covid hit. So many things felt like they were falling apart, and there were never enough hours in the day to tackle my to-do list, let alone find a way to escape the weight of it all.  This week episode highligh...

Meet Your Host: Chelsey Mauris So who is Chelsey Mauris??  That’s such a great question and me and myself and I would love to know! 😅 On a serious note, how does anyone introduce themselves? I’ve always struggled with finding the right words to say about myself in any situation. Whether it’s on a dating app, in a job interview, when meeting new people, or just expressing myself in general. I thin...

I’ve only thought about why I do things my entire life! But, sometimes even when I feel like I have a grasp on why I do what I do, there’s this inner struggle to feel like my why is good not enough for everyone else. I’m still discovering my why and I’ve learned that, in business, your why needs to be extremely strong. So, today’s episode is me getting real with why I started this podcast.  I also...

My goal for Permission to Rise Podcast is to create a foundation for this platform. In the last episode, I talked about my WHY. I talked about how I struggled in the past to create a foundation for my previous businesses. So I decided to create a better foundation for this podcast by narrowing down a few key components. I created five pillars for permission to Rise and I’d like to take a moment to...
