This episode is a powerful reminder to loosen your grip and trust what life is trying to teach you—even when the plan completely blows up. Chelsea sat down with Jamie Estelle Roth, who shares the raw truth of navigating sudden vision loss and the identity shake-up that followed.

They talk fear, surrender, redefining success, and what happens when the life you thought you were building disappears. Jamie shares how losing her sight actually sharpened her presence, deepened her spirituality, and forced her to see herself—and life—more clearly than ever. There’s honesty, humor, and moments that will stop you in your tracks.

They also dive into her book Should Have Seen That Coming (now on Audible), her journey into speaking and podcasting, and her grounded advice for anyone navigating an unexpected detour. If you’re in a season of change, uncertainty, or letting go—this one’s for you. Real vibes only.

In this final episode of the year, Chelsea gets real about what it actually takes to step into your next level in 2026 — and spoiler alert: it’s not vision boards, perfection, or playing it safe. It’s bold decisions. Uncomfortable growth. Investing in yourself before you feel “ready.” And surrounding yourself with people who refuse to let you stay small.

Chelsea shares what she’s calling in for 2026 — including her evolution as a keynote speaker — and pulls back the curtain on how she’s using social media intentionally, not obsessively, to grow visibility while protecting her energy. She talks boundaries, proximity, paying for rooms that stretch you, and why authenticity will always outperform polish.

This episode is part reflection, part rally cry — and a reminder that you don’t need a new calendar year to start acting like the woman you say you want to become.

If you’re craving momentum, clarity, and a no-BS push into what’s next… this one’s for you.✨ Real growth requires bold moves.✨ Proximity matters.✨ Boundaries are a power move.✨ Your next level doesn’t wait for January.

Welcome to 2026 energy — starting now!

In this honest and deeply reflective conversation, Kelly Stevens opens up about the messy, uncomfortable, and necessary process of unbecoming — stripping away the layers of who she thought she was supposed to be to finally reconnect with who she truly is.

Kelly shares how her identity became tightly wrapped around her professional roles, achievements, and expectations, leaving her chasing multiple versions of a life that never fully fit. She talks candidly about sitting in the uncertainty, the existential “what the hell am I doing?” moments, and the courage it took to stop forcing clarity and start experimenting instead — one step, one idea, one season at a time.

Through years of exploration, reflection, and trial, those seemingly small decisions slowly pointed her toward a bigger vision — what ultimately became Alliance Society. This episode explores what it really looks like to listen to yourself, tolerate discomfort, and bring something meaningful to life even when you don’t have all the answers.

If you’ve ever felt lost between versions of yourself, stuck in roles that no longer fit, or afraid to trust the quiet pull toward something new — this conversation will land right where you are.✨ This one is about courage, curiosity, and the powerful truth that sometimes you don’t become someone new… you unbecome what you’re not.

In this raw, unedited reflection, Chelsea peels back the layers on a year that moved fast, hit hard, and changed everything. From navigating personal loss and protecting her mental health, to the emotional and financial rollercoaster of building a home from the ground up in Nebraska, this episode is about what really happens behind the scenes of life and leadership.

She talks honestly about grief, family dynamics, therapy, business pressure, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up when life doesn’t follow the plan. No pretending. No toxic positivity. Just real conversations about boundaries, burnout, vulnerability, and learning to protect your time and energy like your life depends on it — because it does.

This episode is for the leaders, builders, and parents who carried a lot in 2025. For anyone who felt stretched, humbled, cracked open — and still chose gratitude.

No filter. No fluff. Just the lessons that shaped her — and might help you breathe a little easier too.

In this eye-opening conversation, we rip the filter off youth sports and get real about the insane pressure today’s young athletes are carrying. Between perfectly curated highlight reels, comparison culture on steroids, and the relentless push to “perform or disappear,” social media has completely rewritten what competition looks and feels like for kids.

We dive into how the game has changed—because it has. Club sports are practically a second job, high school and club coaches operate from totally different playbooks, and kids are stuck trying to balance conflicting expectations while also being told to “have fun out there.” Meanwhile, their every move is more visible than ever… and so are the judgments.

This episode goes deep into the mental toll, the shifting landscape of competitive youth athletics, and the complex reality of raising and supporting kids in a world where even sports come with a scoreboard of likes, follows, and pressure-filled “success stories.” If you’ve ever wondered what today’s kids are really navigating behind the scenes—this one will stop you in your tracks.

**What if the meaning of life isn’t about achieving more, but about unbecoming everything you’re not?

In this solo episode of Lip Service and Lashes, Chelsea Husum dives deep into one of the oldest and most profound questions: What is the purpose of life? Sparked by a random, contemplative car ride with her son and a curiosity-fueled query to ChatGPT, Chelsea unpacks the four life lessons AI believes we’re here to learn—then brings her own ruthless honesty and warmth to what those ideas mean in the real world.

Join Chelsea as she explores:- The messy, beautiful process of remembering who you truly are—not who the world told you to be- How our tendency to chase milestones (accolades, money, titles) often keeps us from experiencing the moments of true meaning- Why vulnerability, real connection, and saying a hard “no” to fake relationships is the heart of a full life- The power of seeing adversity as transformation rather than defeat, and learning to leave the world better—just by being you.

Packed with heartfelt stories about motherhood, rebellious kids, and the struggle to stay authentic in a world that pressures us to conform, this raw and inspiring episode will leave you questioning what you’re really here for—and how uniquely equipped you are to make your mark.

In this electric, soul-poking episode of Lip Service & Lashes, Chelsea sits down with the unapologetically authentic Brittney Tollinchi — a woman who walked away from the shiny corporate ladder to build a life that actually feels good, not just looks good on LinkedIn.

This is not a conversation about “work-life balance” or “finding your passion.” Nope. This is about burning down the old rules, quitting crap that drains your soul, and choosing a life rooted in joy, alignment, and purpose — even when it’s uncomfortable, misunderstood, or messy.

Brittney gets real about the nudge that wouldn’t go away, the courage it takes to step into the unknown, and the freedom that comes from letting go of the wrong life to make space for the right one. We talk routines, boundaries, energy protection, achievement with meaning, and the radical act of choosing yourself.

We also dive into Brittney’s podcast Unjuggle the Struggle and her powerful YouTube series that supports people going from “I feel called to something more…” to actually taking action. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the pull toward something bigger — and is finally ready to stop ignoring it.

In this solo episode of Lip Service & Lashes, Chelsea takes you along on her recent adventure to the wide-open fields of Nebraska—where she spent a week overseeing the construction of her family’s new barndominium… and unexpectedly found a little piece of home.

From the chaotic reality of managing a build (yes, it required constant supervision 🙃) to discovering the local brewery that quickly became her second office, Chelsea shares the behind-the-scenes stories that made this trip unforgettable. Along the way, she met the kind of people who make small towns magical—like Bob, the retired farmer with a heart of gold, and a group of local women who swept her into an impromptu bar crawl she’ll be laughing about for years.

This episode is all about the beauty of slowing down, saying yes to unexpected moments, and letting yourself belong somewhere new. Chelsea explores the charm of small-town life, the joy of supporting local spots, and how genuine human connection can show up when you least expect it.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a simpler pace, craved community, or wondered what it’s like to build a home—and find yourself in the process—this one will fill your soul.
