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 the Seek the Edge Podcast, Kelsey dives deep into what it actually takes to become the woman you’re called to be in 2026.We talk a lot about goals, intentions, and identity—but real transformation doesn’t happen in journals or podcasts alone. It happens through experience.Kelsey unpacks the difference between consuming growth and living it, why courage needs opportunities, and how confidence is built through proof—not motivation. She challenges listeners to move beyond overthinking and step into experiences that stretch them physically, mentally, and spiritually.You’ll hear:Why identity is forged through action, not intentionHow environment and community accelerate growthThe role experiences play in building confidence and self-trustWhy saying yes (and no) reveals who you’re becomingHow to intentionally choose one defining experience for the year aheadKelsey also walks through the five experience pillars of Xpand Your Limits in 2026—Strength, Outdoors, Endurance, Resilience, and the new EXPAND retreats—each designed to help women practice courage, build confidence, and walk out real transformation.

This episode isn’t about doing everything. It’s about saying yes to one thing that stretches you, anchors your year, and becomes a defining moment you’ll remember.One-degree action step:Choose one experience this year that scares you just enough.

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.

In this episode of Seek the Edge, Kelsey pauses after a whirlwind season — events across the country, a HYROX competition, a car accident, and the first full year operating as Xpand Your Limits. Instead of sprinting into what’s next, she takes a deep breath and reflects on the five lessons that reshaped her in 2025.From the internal faith transformation that changed the way she leads…to the one-degree habits that built consistency…to the reminder that community doesn’t grow without intention…to shifting from proving to receiving…to the bold obedience that guided every major decision this year…This episode is honest, grounded, and full of the kind of clarity we only get when we slow down long enough to look back.If you’ve ever felt like you’re grinding, striving, or pushing without feeling grounded — this conversation will help you recalibrate your heart, your habits, and your direction.CONNECT WITH KELSEY & XPAND YOUR LIMITS✨ Instagram: https://instagram.com/kelseylensman✨ XYL Instagram: https://instagram.com/xpandyourlimits✨ Website / Events / Programs: https://xpandyourlimit.com✨ Seek the Edge Podcast Updates: https://instagram.com/seektheedgepodcas

What if leadership wasn’t about controlling people — but about becoming someone others actually want to follow?

In this raw and real conversation, Kelsey sits down with Travis Dalrymple, leadership advisor, author of How to Suck as a Leader, and founder of The Leadership Lab — a program helping entrepreneurs and small business owners ditch micromanagement and build thriving, self-led teams.

From placing 3rd on America’s Got Talent to leading high-performing business teams, Travis blends entertainment, strategy, and hard-won leadership lessons that challenge the way you think about influence, culture, and growth. Together, they unpack:

• What America’s Got Talent taught him about leadership under pressure

• The hardest lessons he’s learned about leading people — and himself

• The 1–2 characteristics every thriving culture has in common

• The #1 way people get in their own way

• How to stay grounded and authentic in a noisy world that tries to mold you

After the PRs are hit, the crowd fades, and the laundry piles up on Monday morning… what happens next?
In this episode, Kelsey breaks down the crucial gap between the “high” and the “habit.” Whether it’s finishing a big competition, standing on stage, or experiencing a powerful weekend, these mountaintop moments are meant to launchtransformation—not be the peak.

Kelsey shares a 4-part framework to help you bridge the gap between that post-event high and the daily habits that create lasting change. You’ll learn how to anchor breakthrough moments, sustain momentum when motivation fades, and root your identity in something deeper than performance.

If you’ve ever felt the “post-event dip,” this one’s for you.

One week out from the Women Xpanding Limits event, Kelsey fires up a pep talk and practical guide for athletes, first-timers, and spectators. She shares the heart behind XYL—courage over comfort, faith-led growth, and community that turns strangers into friends—then walks listeners through the full weekend flow: Friday night opening ceremony with keynote + exclusive merch, Saturday community workout, HYROX PFT, lifting meet, vendors, Cold Plunge Village, food trucks, and an expert panel. You’ll get clear check-in times, parking notes, and what to bring—plus mindset coaching to trust your training, show up brave, and let the day redefine what’s possible.Join us at https://xpandyourlimit.com/women-xpanding-limits@kelseylensman @xpandyourlimit xpandyourlimit.com
