Life is short; you either have your reasons or your results.

In this solo chitchat episode, I record from my car and share what’s really been on my heart lately: how the realization that we’re not promised more times has lit a fire in me to stop playing small, start acting boldly, and fully trust God even when outcomes are uncertain.

This isn’t about hustle for hustle’s sake, but about stewarding the season you’re in, whether you’re waiting for a breakthrough in your career or navigating growing challenges in your calling.

I talk about:

• The real reason why I’ve been working with urgency lately

• What I’ve learned listening to people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s wish they started sooner

• Why “life is short” is NOT a cliché

• How the Dunning-Kruger effect shows up in your calling

• And why I believe now more than ever: your reasons won’t comfort you in the end, only your results will

  
  

📖 Scripture that’s been guiding me: 

• Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

• Romans 8:28 

  
  

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp
