Tis the season for INTENTION! Our top guest of the month is Kellie Daab who dives into her story and shares reasonable steps you can take to garner a deeper level of intention in your season! 

Kellie Daab is the Highly Sensitive CEO. After working in the creative industry for her entire career, Kellie couldn’t understand why she felt different from other entrepreneurs. Despite running a highly successful education business, speaking on dozens of stages, and winning multiple awards - Kellie still felt something was “wrong with her”. She set out to determine why she felt overwhelmed and unfilled in business and life. That’s when she discovered HSP and the traits of a highly sensitive person. Kellie went on a quest to find a new way of living and working. Since then, Kellie has completely reset her business and reclaimed her peace. Now, she helps other highly sensitive entrepreneurs do the same through consulting, education, and slowpreneurship.
