Growth doesn’t always look like chasing the next big goal. Sometimes, it looks like slowing down.

In this episode, Kelsey pulls back the curtain and shares the behind-the-scenes shift happening in her life and training this year. After years of high-intensity competitions, national campaigns, a 100-mile race, and pushing her body to extreme limits, unexpected lab results became a wake-up call.

Instead of setting another finish line, she chose something harder: foundations.

Kelsey shares her new training structure, nutrition priorities, recovery non-negotiables, Sabbath rhythm, and the mindset shift from proving to prioritizing. This episode is about being fit in all areas — physically, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.

Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do… is stop chasing and start stewarding.

Strength isn’t about fitting into a category — it’s about building a body that carries you for life.

In this episode, Kelsey shares how getting snowed in pushed her to try Pilates for the first time and sparked a bigger conversation around women’s training. She breaks down why strength training is foundational for muscle preservation, bone density, metabolic health, and confidence — especially as we age — and how Pilates, mobility work, and impact training complement that foundation.

Growth isn’t about how you show up when it’s easy—it’s about how you respond when it’s hard. In this episode, Kelsey explores resistance, discipline, and the daily choice between being committed or contingent. She shares why discomfort is often part of becoming your best self and how staying planted through the hard seasons leads to fulfillment, peace, and purpose.

Starting 2026 strong isn’t just about big goals—it’s about the systems that support who you’re becoming. In this episode, Kelsey sits down with Annette Furio, founder of Season Journals, to talk about how journaling can help you slow down, get clear, and live with real intention in a world that never stops moving.

They cover why journaling works (even if you only do it once a week), how gratitude shifts your mindset, and how reflection helps you notice patterns, track progress, and celebrate growth you’d normally overlook. Annette also shares practical tools like the wellness wheel and a simple weekly structure—what’s working, what you’re learning, and what you’re celebrating—so you can turn intention into action without making it “another thing on your to-do list.”

If you want 2026 to feel more grounded, focused, and aligned, this episode will give you the mindset and systems to make it happen.Season Journals - @seasonjournals@[email protected]

In this episode of Seek the Edge, Kelsey dives into a powerful mindset shift that can change how you approach your goals in 2026. Instead of obsessing over the what—the outcome you want—she challenges you to focus on the how: the daily systems, habits, and routines that actually get you there.

Through personal stories, including her journey to the bodybuilding stage, Kelsey breaks down the difference between being goal-focused and process-focused. She explains how consistency, structure, and intentional daily actions matter more than motivation—and how “winning the day” leads to long-term growth without overwhelm.

If you’re chasing big goals like improving your fitness, deepening your faith, strengthening relationships, or becoming the best version of yourself, this episode will help you turn intention into action and build systems that last.

In this transparent follow-up to last week’s episode, Kelsey pulls back the curtain and walks through the five biggest mistakes she made while building Xpand Your Limits in 2025. This year included huge wins — events across the country, a growing ambassador program, HYROX competitions, and a rapidly expanding community — but none of it happened without pressure points, missteps, and moments of refinement.

In this episode, she opens up about:

• Overcommitting to the point of dropped balls and inconsistent follow-through
• Avoiding the hard conversations and learning why clarity really is kindness
• Trying to do everything alone instead of allowing others to support and contribute
• Neglecting her own health while pouring into everyone else
• Underestimating the power of prayer and seeing God move clearly when she finally surrendered

These aren’t polished highlight-reel moments — they’re the real, gritty, human parts of building a mission-driven movement. And every mistake came with a lesson that reshaped how Kelsey is leading, planning, and showing up heading into 2026.

If you’re a leader, a builder, or someone trying to step into your calling while balancing your capacity, this episode will speak directly to you.
