Find Your Magic

TW: Disordered eating & fertility

Meet Tristan Thibodeau, the founder of branding agency Wild Womn Haus. She helps people clarify what aspect of their business needs the most attention and helps them build a holistic brand strategy that’s focused on what * actually * works for them (so they can build a SUSTAINABLE business!). 

During this conversation, my mind and my heart were blown right open. Trigger warning: We discuss disordered eating, topics surrounding fertility and whether or not to have children, and how often women who are trying to do big things in the business world are shamed for their personal decisions. 

Bottom line, this conversation is about learning to trust your gut so you can create a life that is meaningful and full of purpose.

I know I say how excited I am about every episode, but literally from the bottom of my soul, this is one of the most important and exciting episodes for you to listen to. 

My guest today is King Ashley Ann, she is a best-selling author, a social media strategist, an award-winning event designer, a consultant with more than 13 years experience, and an absolute powerhouse of a human being. 

Ashley offers some of the most robust marketing education programs that I have ever seen in my life. Today, we are talking about how you can start making money from a small following on social media, and also how important it is for entrepreneurs to really get their minds right. She has helped over 700 people create 6- and 7-figure incomes. She is so smart. She is so fun. I am just so in love with this conversation.

In the end, we get into the meat of the marketing tactics, but overall, her story is just so inspiring. 

If you have any doubts that mental health doesn’t factor into your financial success or the sense of feeling fulfilled in your work, this conversation is going to change your mind. 

Ashley calls herself a “value bomber” and it is true. This episode is PACKED full of value!

One year ago I was…

Slowly - SO slowly - I made one aligned decision after another and re-built my life…

I am still very much in the building phase of this new existence. I have many areas that continue to challenge me as well as new developments I’m beyond excited about.

What I most want to say right now as we complete one full year of Find Your Magic is THANK YOU.

Thank you from the bottom of my being for showing up for these conversations week after week. Thank you for allowing me into your home, and hopefully your heart, as I attempt to smooth the way for entrepreneurs who want to share their gifts with the world.

I’m so stinkin’ proud to have cultivated this corner of the internet filled with vibrant ideas, people, and conversations that lift us up! Here’s to all the magic we've made together, and all the magic yet to come.

I love you,

Kelsey

Today I am interviewing my PR agent, Lydia Bagarozza. Lydia helps purpose-driven brands expand their audience, grow their impact, gain credibility and trust — and secure press opportunities organically.  She is passionate about working with mentors, consultants, and environmentally conscious brands, and finds it her absolute mission to help them leave behind a legacy on this planet.

Her diverse professional background includes working on PR campaigns for brands in the coaching, wellness, beauty, grooming, lifestyle, music, and fashion space. We start off this conversation with her background of doing PR in the music industry and ultimately getting burnt out – we have a lot of similarities here! After dealing with some health ailments, she started her journey to self-discovery and realized her jobs made her feel undervalued. 

For years I have done my own press and outreach to figure out how to be featured as a speaker for events, be on podcasts, and even be a guest writer on other people’s blogs. Although it was working out, I knew I was ready to level up! I found Lydia because she pitched one of her clients (The Sensual Chef) to be on my podcast, and based on her pitch I immediately knew I needed to learn more about her. 

With Lydia’s hard work, I have not only seen results already, but really the main benefit I have found is having a new point of entry to my business through media by building credibility. It’s all about being a thought leader in your industry!

Hi Magic Makers! You are in for some incredible value today. 

My guest is Efia Sulter and she shares her 5 step manifestation framework on how to have a life of freedom, passion, love, purpose, and all of these things that make you want to leap out of bed in the morning. She coaches ambitious people to confidently manifest their desires and stop playing small

I know when you hear the word manifestation, you may just think of people telling you to journal and make a vision board which may make you want to scream off a balcony, but let me assure you that this is NOT what this conversation is!

Efia is coming from manifestation from a very grounded place. She herself went through a really tough time, and she is a living example of how manifesting your desires can work in your real life. She now has a lucrative coaching business, a podcast, courses, and manifests beautiful trips. 

I am inspired by not only the life she shows online but also the inner work that she has done before and behind the scenes of what she has manifested. We dive into getting beyond limiting beliefs, deciding our values, choosing what we want to manifest, and we walk though her VIBES framework for manifestation.  

This episode is literally packed with magic!

Hey Magic Makers!

Let’s keep Pride month going by hearing more stories from our friends in the queer community! Today I am speaking with Georgia Clark, a novelist, performer, screenwriter, and the host and founder of a popular storytelling night called Generation Women in New York City. She has an amazing queer romance novel called “Island Time” coming out tomorrow, June 14, 2022. 

Georgia specializes in romcom, which in my personal opinion, is a very under-appreciated genre!

This conversation is all about how to make a living AND a life as a creative entrepreneur, the rollercoaster it can be to work on a long term project, like a novel, the journey she has been on, and all of the ways we can make money to support our art, rather than putting pressure on our art to make us money. 

So while you are listening, ask yourself, why are you drawn to a certain creative pursuit? Usually it is about more than just a job. Usually it is about seeking happiness and passion. In this day and age, we often only see people’s highlight reels on life, not the other things they do to live and work. Creative people often cobble together things that attract money to fund their art!

Happy Pride Month, magic makers! I’m so honored to welcome my childhood friend, Dr. Katie Schlein Valadez to the podcast today to talk about how we can use the body as an entry point to heal deeper emotional and psychological issues.

Katie is a chiropractor and business owner in San Diego, CA. She herself is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and she’s created a wonderful, safe and open place for any and all people seeking healing. In this conversation, Katie generously shared insights into how families in the gay community have wildly different experiences that their cis-hetero- counterparts when it comes to healing and finding safe places.

Because Katie has so much experience as a holistic health practitioner, I asked her to share how emotional and psychological trauma are stored in our bodies. She’s an expert at unpacking how we can hold onto trauma and “dis-ease” in our bodies - I was seriously mind blown when she started describing some of the physical symptoms and side effects of stress! 

More than anything, Dr. Katie believes that health is not a destination but a journey. By providing support and addressing her practice members’ needs, she is committed to helping families access their potential to reach their health goals. She chose pediatric and prenatal care as her specialty to help change the paradigm and how kids view health.
