EP 93: Standing out in a World of Fitting in with Kelsie Watts


Listen Later

Ever felt like you're chasing a dream that just keeps slipping through your fingers?

You've given it everything—your time, your energy, even your savings—only to feel like you're still miles away from where you want to be. Maybe you've even convinced yourself it's safer not to dream at all, because disappointment hurts too much.

But what if you could hear from someone who's been there—facing rejection, setbacks, and moments of "this is never going to happen"—and still found a way forward?

In this episode, Natasha sits down with Broadway performer and independent artist Kelsie Watts, whose journey from bartending in Nashville to starring in Six on Broadway and racking up over 60,000 Spotify streams in a month will leave you inspired (and maybe a little teary). Her story is a masterclass in resilience, authenticity, and daring to believe there's more waiting for you.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • Why chasing your dream often takes more grit—and more patience—than you expect

  • The reality of building a career in a competitive, numbers-driven industry

  • How authenticity and vulnerability can open unexpected doors

  • The mindset shifts that keep you moving forward when quitting feels easier

Whether you're healing from an injury, building a business, or pushing toward a creative dream, this conversation will remind you: you belong, you matter, and it's never too late to keep going.
