From being an overthinker to taking action, Kelsey keeps it short and simple this episode to break down the realities of indecisiveness. Kelsey explains the limbo state and how this prevents us from creating the life we want versus the power of decision. She wraps this up with an exercise to ensure tangible steps towards action. 

What we’re talking about…

• How this can apply to you as a parent or as a professional 
• Why we get caught in indecisiveness 
• The universal feeling of “if I just had this information I can make the right decision”
• How this feeling puts us in limbo and holds up back from being our best selves
• Becoming an overthinker vs. taking action
• The little tugs we feel from our intuition 
• How to become more action forward (don’t worry Kelsey is here to help on this!)
• Homework: what is that one thing you feel a little tug towards? Now block out 15 minutes of your day (preferably today or tomorrow) and do something actionable towards that desire

Kelsey shares her secret to juggling a business and family — all while trying to enjoy every chaotic second of it. She explains how she has built a schedule around this season of her life and lays out her day by day agenda. 

What we’re talking about…

• Kelsey often talks about the chaos of life with little ones and a business, but this week she explains how she manages to do this through a crafted scheduled 
• Each day of the week fluctuates in work loads to mom duties to everything else in between 
• She explains how she works bests when batching work and once she’s in the zone (which inevitably plays a role in her weekly structure) 
• Monday Kelsey dedicates to work and the most brain-power, creative to-do’s she needs to get done
• Tuesday is what she calls a 50/50 day, between getting work done, visiting with family and taking care of the kids
• Wednesday is the coaching day where she sits on calls and gets inspired from the hump day of the week
• Thursday is a catch-up/administrative kind of day since it’s early out day at Kenna’s school
• Friday is an off-day and a time to relax and enjoy the kids
• The weekends (at least in this season of life right now) is dedicated to spending time with her family
• Even when working she crafts her days in a 9am-2pm structure to then enjoy kiddo time when school and childcare are over 
• Throughout the week, she also explains how intentional she must be to create me-time and spend meaningful time with her husband

Kelsey is starting off the New Year with some techniques on goal setting and how to be the mom/parent/partner/business owner you want to be this year. She lays out a 4-step strategy and applies this to her own ambitions as a mom and business owner this year. 

What we’re talking about…

• Goal setting that is focused on where you are at in life
• Kelsey provides a 4-step strategy to become the person you want to be this year
• Step 1: “The type of person I want to be” statement 
• Use this concept to focus in on your goal
• On the parenting side, Kelsey shares, “I want to be the kind of mom that enjoys the chaos of having a three-year-old”
• Step 2: Define that kind of person by giving examples 
• Kelsey focuses in with specific examples and moments that would enable her to hit her motherhood goal 
• Defining with examples helps you hit specific goals, instead of feeling challenged to hit a generalized goal
• Step 3: Create a mantra around this new goal
• This works to create new neural pathways in your brain to help you achieve your goal
• This often includes a statement like, “I’m doing a great job”
• Step 4: Notice when your internal dialogue goes to a place you don’t want it, acknowledge this, and then make the shift 
• When it comes to parenting, sometimes the best thing you can do is manage your own emotions 
• This step helps you approach the situation in a more intentional way 
• Kelsey shares her business goals for the year and applies this 4-step strategy to the Coaches Incubator
