About Kelsey
Hi, I’m Kelsey!
When I first launched my own brand in 2015, I felt all the overwhelming feelings, too. It was scary to take such a huge leap and commit to showing up for a dream I didn’t know would pan out. Mentorship is what pushed me to RISE UP. Over the first few years of business (and even now!) I leaned on the shoulders of incredible mentors who took me under their wing and taught me how to make the jump from dreamer to doer. I needed their expert wisdom to shift old perspectives, discover the next right steps that would help me execute my vision, and stay hopeful throughout the journey. Because this entrepreneurship thing is a journey, amiright?
My mentors helped shape my character so I could become the CEO and leader I am today. I want to pay it forward and be that cheerleader for you, too… because I believe YOU can turn your wildest dreams into REALITY.
