Have you ever looked at your life and thought…how did I get here?

Maybe you're happy with where you are, but it's more likely there are things you'd change or perhaps do differently. For whatever reason, you just can't seem to get out of the rut you're in.

You have dreams and goals and plans…but nothing is changing. And you think to yourself…why?

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the vast majority of why you are where you are is because of the choices you've made along the way. Tough love time!

YOU get to decide.

YOU get to choose the life you're living.

Each choice you've made, each decision you've made has gotten you where you are now. Whether that's good or bad at the moment…it was, at one point, a choice of yours.

At some point my friend, you're going to have to take a long hard look at the choices you're continually making and decide whether or not you're going to keep taking the backseat to your life or buckle up and kick it into overdrive baby!!!

We all have a choice.

You get to decide how to live this one and only life on earth.

What's it going to be?

Let me know over on Instagram at @thechelseaholden Let me know what NEW choices you're going to make to start living your best life!

Have you ever wondered how you can set yourself up for success? Maybe you're curious about hiring a coach to take you to the next level with your business? Or perhaps you simply need to get into some great habits for a better life?

Well, good news my friend! In today's episode, I am interviewing the uber fab, Morgan Gillis, aka The Habits Coach to help you with these questions and more!

This kickass woman is making waves in the online coaching industry through her work with millennial entrepreneurs that want to start or grow their online biz! Yes, please! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Morgan and I discuss the importance of morning routines, how journaling can help you identify patterns, three steps to rework your mindset, and investing fully in yourself by hiring a coach. Which, btw, she says it is the ONE THING she would have done sooner! 

One of the inside tools and take-aways that Morgan breaks down in this episode to help with reframing your mindset are asking yourself the following questions:

1. "What am I believing to be true?"

2. "Is this actually true?" ➡️ News flash....99% of the time it's NOT!

3. "What is more ture?" ➡️ reframing your thoughts which in turn help your emotions and ACTIONS!

Be sure to grab a pen and notebook and tune in to learn all the goodness in this episode!

STOP! Stop waiting until everything is "perfect" before you start living the life you love! Because...guess what? It's NEVER going to be perfect. 

"Done is Better Perfect" is a motto I heard from the amazing Jenna Kutcher, and it's one that I have adopted fully. Why? Because I was tired of sitting on the sidelines to my own life. 

If you are ready to action, to see results, to FINALLY do the thing you've only been talking about for months and even years now, then JUST DO IT ALREADY. The good news is you can always pivot. You can always adjust.

Done is Better than Perfect, friend. So what is it you're going to do? Let me know over on Instagram at @thechelseaholden in the DMs. I can't WAIT to support you.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to start your own retail business? What about converting a school bus to rent for hosting different events?

In this week's episode of the Chasing Curiosity with Chels podcast, I talk with Caitlan Lochridge of To The Moon! She is literally one of the coolest chicks I know! Caitlan is the owner of To The Moon and Luna, her converted school bus turned mobile boutique that features local makers from Austin, Dallas, & Fort Worth areas! Also, Minnie Moon, her smaller school bus,  acts as a mobile rental space. Minnie Moon, her smaller school bus has held all types of events from yoga sessions, sound baths, art galleries, photobooths…and so much more.

It's no wonder her friends describe her as human sunshine because she truly radiates so much positivity and goodness!

I can't wait for you to join in on this awesome conversation.

Give Caitlan a follow and connect with her on Instagram at @tothemoonbus

I get asked a lot, "how do you stay sooo positive?" and "you can't always be in a good mood."

Truthfully, no I am not "always" in a positive mood...but 90% of the time...I am! It comes naturally to me, and for those moments/days when it doesn't, I know it won't last long.

Some things that help me;

1. Checking in with my emotions. Asking myself how I am feeling, and allowing myself to feel whatever it is, without judgment.

2. Practicing gratitude for all of the goodness in my life. This should come from your heart, but it's also a skill that takes time if you're not in the practice already. So reach for things to be thankful for, list them out (preferably written) and focus on all of the abundance in your life, not the lack.

3. Affirmations work every time! Get uncomfortable saying them aloud to the point of being cheesy...and tell me you don't feel the slightest bit better! No matter what...you will come out of it smiling and setting these affirmations into your subconscious to raise your vibes!

4. Remember a key principle: LOVE = Truth & Fear = Lies. It's as simple as remembering that loving thoughts, actions, intentions are all true and from God. Any fearful thought, worry, anxiety is all an illusion and these lies are trying to derail you from living in love. 

5. Connect with God, Source, the Universe...whatever you chose to call it...connect with Spirit and remove your ego! Being in nature does that for me...every. single. time!

I pray this helps, and please share a screen shot of you listening to this episode so that others can learn how to stay positive as well!

Holy Moly! This was a ton of fun to record!

Today, I am discussing all the self-love goodness and why I no longer drink. Let's just say, alcohol and I are not a match made in Heaven...nope more like worst date nightmares!

We start with an intimate journal entry from 2/8/2018 that I read aloud from my personal journal for the first time since I wrote it. It takes me back and moves me deeply. This catapults the conversation!

The inner work combined with a whole lot of self-love has given me such a beautiful life! So much so, that I wanted to share what fires me up! And...because I love taking risks, I recorded the whole thing on video with some great before and after footage of how I record my shows!

Watch the FULL EPISODE here and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don't miss out on other fun videos!

I can't wait to hear how you enjoy the show and would love your feedback!

With COVID-19 keeping everyone indoors, children at home, and parents finding themselves in a new role of homeschooling their children, I wanted to share my conversation with homeschooling expert, Vanessa Vasquez!

In this week's episode, Vanessa and I talk about the changes that may occur because of the Corona Virus and our perspective on a possible community paradigm shift!

With a speciality in early literacy, a former public school teacher, and a third-generation educator, Vanessa's unique perspective on homeschooling is enlightening! She utilizes social media to share her love for learning and how she engages her children with everyday activities and encounters in the real world. 

Be sure to give this episode a listen and connect with Vanessa Vasquez on Facebook and Instagram. She will happily share any tips, philosophies, and resources that she personally uses as well as recommend other methods.

Keepin' it real this week...and always. During this crazy time in history, I believe it's important to focus on things that truly make us come alive and live as fully as we can.

How do you come alive? What is it that makes you truly makes you feel like YOU?!

I want you to take this week and this month to really think about this question. How you ever really stopped to think about what it is you actually like to do? 

Something that makes me come ALIVE is music and dancing! There is nothing like jamming out to your favorite song and leaving it all out on the dance floor! I also love the quiet times I give myself in the morning to tune in, to get quiet, to the journal, to mediate.

What are you curious about? 

A lot of these episodes have been about self-development because it's what I am most curious about + it has radically my life and, I feel compelled to share this with you.

How to Come Alive:

Write out how you're feeling right now. Ask if this is how you want to feel? If not...then do something to raise your vibration!

Free flow write for 5 minutes (set a timer and do this) about what you like to do, what brings you joy, what lights a fire under you. Pick a couple of those things and do them (assuming they can be done inside). 

What did you do as a kiddo? What innate things did you use to do as a child that made you feel alive? Incorporate those into your daily life! Heck, pick a whole day where you only do what your inner child wants and let your intuition guide you! It's MAGIC!

I pray you take this time to FULLY live while you can. We aren't promised tomorrow. Let's wake up and come ALIVE...together!

I wanted to take a moment during this worldwide pandemic, the coronavirus, to give you some tools to remove the fear and get back into a space of LOVE!

We have all been affected one way or another by this latest outbreak, and instead of continuing to consume media and feeding your fears, get your energy up by tuning in!

1. Tune in with a moment of silence. How are you feeling right now?

2. Show some gratitude to others! Give gratitude to others!

3. Level up by dancing it out! Shout it out! (you can do this with me inside the episode).

4. Protect your new energy! Picture yourself wearing a cloak and wrap yourself (think hugging yourself) with GOOD energy!

5. Focus on the good! It's your choice!

6. Be the light!

7. Help someone who needs it! Use your time, your money, or just spread the word for local businesses and local artists.

Wishing everybody health and happiness. #everybodyalways
