"I'm addicted to social media. I love it and I hate it."
"Making friends as an adult is so damn hard."
These are some of the most common issues that I listen to from my therapy couch, as the majority of folks I serve are between the ages of 22-40.
My conclusion is that what we deeply desire as a generation is: INTIMACY.
Not the hot and heavy, sexual intimacy, but a sacred closeness with other humans. with FRIENDS.
We're not sure how to make new friends or sustain the existing connections we do have. And social media isn't helping like we hoped it would.
In this episode I'm bringing a new spin to the conversation around social media and adult friendships, offering some guidance based on my experience and ideas I've changed my mind about, and shedding some light on the difference between "vulnerable" sharing online versus true intimacy IRL.
I hope you love this thought provoking episode- number 50!!

So you scheduled your first therapy appointment and you want to know what comes next. OR You're on the fence about therapy, because you aren't sure what will happen in the sessions.
Is the therapist going to make you talk about your childhood and analyze your dreams while you're laying on a couch?
The process can vary a little from therapist-to-therapist, depending on modalities being used, what issues have brought you to therapy or your therapist’s personality, but I want to tell you exactly what will GENERALLY happen if you sign up for therapy with me, from the moment you reach out to schedule, to the very last session we have together, and everything in between.
In this episode I’m gonna tell you what questions I ask on my intake form, how long therapy might take, what happens if you regress in your progress, and even what you’re paying for behind the scenes beyond the 50 minutes that we are together.

Why is it so hard to find a therapist who accepts insurance?? Why is therapy so expensive?
Insurance and pricing are HOT topics amongst both therapists and clients alike.
In this short episode, I'm explaining a few reasons why some therapists (myself included) choose not to panel with insurance, and some tips on how to make therapy more affordable for yourself as a client whether you are paying with or without insurance!

I see a lot of well-intended attempts at boundary setting. And it makes me proud! Setting boundaries is tough, and for many of us recovering people-pleasers, it is even harder.
But there a crucial key that MOST folks are missing in their boundary setting: consequences. By missing this step, it is nearly impossible to enforce a boundary.
In this quick and practical episode, I'm going to walk you through my 3-step, gold-standard formula for communicating a boundary in a way that is easy to establish and even easier to enforce.
We'll pay special attention to the missing key- consequences, and get you set up this holiday season to use boundaries with confidence, whether thats with family and loved ones, or in the workplace.
In this episode I share that from Nov 20 - Nov 27 my signature e-course, Boundaries for Abundance is on SALE for 50% off!!

Welcome to the Birthday Episode!
I turned 30 years old on Oct 6 and am STOKED for this new decade. In true kelsee-fashion, I've reflected a lot on the various lessons I've learned and gifts I've recieved in my 20s.
In this episode I am *briefly* sharing 29 lessons I learned by the time I turned 30. We're talking life, love, business, family, friendship, and so much more.
Whether you are still in your twenties or reminiscing on those times, I think you'll find something of value in this episode. You may see yourself in some of my stories or take a sweet reminder of a lesson you've learned too. OR maybe I'll save you some time by sharing a new lesson with you too :)
Listen close to tip #20 for a hint about my newest coaching group program that is launching in early 2024. It is going to be a game. changer. ;)

Welcome back for another live mental health sprint coaching session!
This is one of my most popular coaching offerings and we are letting you listen in as a fly on the wall!
In todays session you'll meet Lauren Kasinger who is an independent, thirty-something, experiencing some big life transitions including making some career and education shifts. Lauren and I were high school classmates (and dance team and colorguard teammates actually!) but Lauren now lives in Florida, where she is a single mom, military veteran (thank you Lo!!!!), former body-building figure competitor, and all around one of the kindest people you'll meet.
Lauren's episode is a prime example of what it looks like to work with me in more of a maintenance mode. She has been doing a TON of personal development and growth work, and at this stage, I really get to affirm and encourage her that she is still on the right path towards greatness. You'll notice that through my questioning and comments, most of the wisdom here comes FROM Lauren TO Lauren. I am basically her professional hype woman (my favorite role to play in people's lives).
Some of the very relatable themes that we'll discuss include: what to do when your community changes, or when people close to you don’t approve of all of your decisions, how to lean into your own interests and resist people pleasing, and how to navigate being a content independent single woman amongst a community and culture that insists we need a partner to be complete.
This episode is minimally edited, per usual, so that you can really get a feel for the cadence and real human stuttering and real-time contemplating that we’ll both experience as we work together.

Clichés are clichés for a reason. They stick.
And while I wouldn't consider these topics necessarily cliché, when I notice a recurrence of something, I take note.
These are the 5 conversations I have weekly (sometimes even daily!!) in my practice as a licensed therapist. I hope that in sharing these conversations, you will feel a combination of validation, encouragement, challenge to edification, and an understanding that (if these topics resonate with you) these are COMMON and you are not alone in your experiences. Like i said...weekly, sometimes daily!!!
The Conversation topics include:
In addition to these topics, this episode includes fun little life updates, my mountain bike trip to SLC, and a triathlon training update: how my first Olympic distance went, my new plan for training moving forward, how I'm taking my own medicine.
As mentioned in this episode, I was recently a guest on The Average Climber Podcast (another Plugtone Collective show) to discuss mental health as it relates to rock climbing and outdoor athletics in general. This show was a HOOT. Lots of laughter, lots of insight. Check that episode #39 wherever you get your pods, or here: https://www.plugtoneaudio.com/the-average-climber-podcast

It has been well over a year since we've had a guest on the show, and there is no better way to invite someone back in than for a live mental health sprint coaching session!
This is one of my most popular coaching offerings and we are letting you sit as a fly on the wall!
In todays session you'll meet Sarah Gardner who is a small, service-based business owner in Indiana. Sarah’s business is called Immersive Sound Experiences, where sarah offers sound bathing, which is a passive meditation practice that utilizes beautiful sounds from chimes and singing bowls to help participants ease into a calm state, literally shifting your brain waves and activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
While Sarah and I have discussed business many times before as peers, this was our first time doing coaching together. You'll notice through laughter that Sarah and I already have some rapport!
Sarah came in with some creativity blocks and uncertainty about how to make her business financially sustainable. She was also experiencing some mindset blocks such as perfectionism, being hard on herself, and some icky feelings about selling a service due to a dissonance between wanting to sell a valuable service, while also having a social-justice heart for making this modality accessible. Something that came to light was some of the assets that sarah has but hasn’t been utilizing to their full potential and some deeper insights as to why that might be.
My goal with Sarah was to ask questions that would spark some of that creativity back, empower her to be innovative and explore new angles of her biz, and uplift/encourage her that she has more resources and capability than she might feel right now, and to help challenge some of her mindsets around selling.
One of my core coaching philosophies is that every individual has exactly the resources they need within themselves, if given the right support to uncover it. Consider me, the excavator of your potential.
I think this episode will be relatable to many people- ESPECIALLY if you are listening and are business-minded or are a helping professional. OR if you are curious about what a coaching session might feel like.
This episode is minimally edited, per usual, so that you can really get a feel for the cadence and real human stuttering and real-time contemplating that we’ll both experience as we work together.
