In this raw and empowering episode of Unleash Your Unique Genius, I welcome back my longtime friend and powerhouse leader Chelsey. Together, we dive deep into what it really means to enter a new season of winning—not from a place of proving, pain, or pressure—but from peace, joy, and authentic alignment.
We reflect on how we both used to chase wins as a form of validation or distraction, and how we’ve shifted toward building success from wholeness. Chelsey. opens up about the mindset shifts, emotional work, and spiritual surrender that prepared her for a whole new level of achievement—and how you can do the same.
🔥 Here’s what we cover:
The Evolution of Winning
Why we used to chase wins for external validation—and why we’re no longer willing to do it that way.
The moment we each realized it was time to return to the win—but from joy, not adrenaline.
Healing, Awareness, and Leadership
How Chelsea’s deep work in emotional regulation, Enneagram study, and coaching helped her become a grounded, compassionate leader.
Why the ability to hold space for others begins with learning to hold space for yourself.
Choosing Yourself and Disappointing Others
The hard truth: when your yeses are planned, your noes will disappoint people—and that’s okay.
Redefining codependency as “not showing up as your true self”—and how that plays out in leadership, business, and relationships.
Calling Your Shot & Creating Ripple Effects
Why playing “certain” is not the same as playing safe—and how it holds us back from our biggest, most mind-blowing goals.
What happens when we call our shot, commit to a season of big, bold wins, and let go of needing to control the how.
Manifesting the Win Through Joy
The truth about vibrational energy: when you live from joy, you become magnetic.
You don’t need to chase the win. You become the win.
💬 Favorite Quotes:
“Winning from joy is the hardest, most beautiful thing we’ve ever done.”
