Kelly Chase opens up about stepping off the hamster wheel—trading burnout, binge-weekends, and people-pleasing for personal development, boundaries, and a soul-led business. We talk healing after reality TV edits, turning a sudden audience into actual impact, choosing gratitude daily, and building community at home in Atlanta.

Key Takeaways

• Healing is iterative. Growth pre-show didn’t prevent old patterns resurfacing—coaching created deeper shifts.
• Gratitude is active. Choose it daily, even while you audit whether “good” activities are masking avoidance.
• Protect your peace. Turn notifications off; curate who (and what) gets access to your energy.
• Audience ≠ alignment. Let the drama-seekers leave; serve the community that’s here for you.
• IRL matters. After global visibility, local connection (Atlanta) is the next frontier.
• Process > outcome. “Enjoy the journey” is the five-year plan—and that’s allowed.

Memorable Quotes

• “I realized I was numbing—productive all week, binge-drinking on weekends.”
• “Gratitude isn’t passive—I sit in it.”
• “Sometimes healing work becomes a distraction—I had to check myself.”
• “Let the followers go if they’re only here for the TV drama.”
• “My plan? Keep going and do what lights me up.
