I’m also sharing a hot tip for those creatives out there - high ticket clients on monthly payment plans are your best friend!

OMG, HOW is it the end of 2023 already?! Get ready for one of your fave episodes of the year - personal year in review! This isn’t the airbrushed version of the lessons I’ve learned, because I don’t think that benefits anyone. Nope, instead of the tired clichés you’ll often see around this time of year, we’re gonna boldly look right in the face of all of my triumphs and failures. Things I no longer want to put up with: situationships and thin pillows. LOL. But really, I’m proud of myself for new habits I’ve built, doors I’ve opened (and closed), and confronting old wounds. Becoming financially baller and a star athlete were 2 archetypes I tried on this year and LOVED. And 2024 spoiler alert: I want to slow down my travels and approach romantic relationships differently. I love this time of year because it gives us the chance to raise the bar for ourselves with real intention. If you see yourselves in any of the lessons I’ve learned this year, shoot me a message! Words of affirmation are my love language after all. Want to send a voice note to the podcast and have Chelsea answer you on air? Do so ⁠HERE⁠. In this episode, I chat about: My travel plans for 2024 My new criteria for choosing travel destinations Becoming financially baller Why I’m not longer entertaining casual situationships Planning my weeks around my values Accepting my need for comfort Emphasizing health How I don’t feel lonely often, and how I handle it when I do Keeping friendships alive Want to launch a podcast?

The holiday season is here, and motivation for getting work done is dwindling. We want to laugh, chill by the crackling fire, eat candy canes, and gossip at holiday parties. Today’s episode is giving post-holiday party gossip fun - it’s a re-air of Samantha Daily’s podcast, "Make Shift Happen," that I was featured on as a guest. It's the audio equivalent of the holiday cookies you’ve been craving. Sam and I dive into juicy travel stories, complete with the best dating spots, and, of course, a cringe-worthy dating experience in Spain from last year – you won't want to miss that! This episode perfectly aligns with the vibe of my Substack, "Slight Turbulence." Picture it as the travel magazine you wish you had on airplanes – not the corporate and boring ones, but something with spice, emotion, laughter, and heartbreak. If you're not familiar with Substack, it's like a blog that gets delivered straight to your inbox, and trust me, you'll want to join in on the wild ride. So, grab your favorite drink – whether it's red wine or a booze-free mocktail (Curious Elixirs, anyone?), throw on those leggings, and get ready for a hot girl morning walk as you tune in and enjoy this episode. It's all about embracing the chaos, having a good laugh, and just letting go. Cheers to that! 🌟🎙️✨ We chat: Pros & cons of living the nomadic lifestyle Top tips for running a business while traveling The reality of affording the lifestyle you want to lead The key to switching up your identity narrative Where are the world’s hottest men?

WTF goes on behind the scenes inside the life of an influencer? I have a VERY inside baseball view of the influencer industry, and I’m here to share the secrets. After working in influencer marketing to being an influencer myself, I don’t gate keep. We’re getting into the nitty gritty, so you can see if becoming an influencer or content creator is for you. You’ve heard about influencers making BANK from one Instagram post. It’s so natural to hear that and immediately think “YES! That’s what I want!” But what about the legal complexities? What about the toxic, comparison obsessed vibe that you can feel at influencer events? From staying on top of trends to staying "hot," we'll explore the very real challenges that come with influencer marketing. Also… what if you want to be both an influencer AND coach?! We’re getting into that too! I share my top picks of people who have mixed the worlds of consulting and influencing to build an empire. In this episode, we’re chatting about: The actual numbers and what I’ve seen influencers make from brand deals How creating content as an influencer is different than creating content for fun The toxic emphasis on upholding an ever-changing beauty standard Why introverts may not love the world of influencing People that are paving the way in the coaching sphere, influencing sphere, and who is combining the two Want to send a voice note to the podcast and have Chelsea answer you on air?

Coach vs. Influencer…which one are you? Two incredibly lucrative careers… but neither of them are right for everyone! This is part one of a series where I’ll dive in to the pros and cons of coaching vs. influencing. I’ve got a unique perspective on both industries.. because I’ve been both! I’ve worked with brands as an influencer and worked in the industry for 6 years doing sales. Later, I built a successful online coaching business, which I still do today. I witnessed the extravagance of influencing and the bureaucracy of brand deals. Coaching gave me insight into new pathways to monetize without third parties and how to really use your zone of genius. Now, I want to share exactly why I chose this route, why I don’t desire to be an influencer, and my POV on the ultimate question - can you do both? In Part 1, a non-sugar-coated summary will enter your ears. You’ll get a real BTS look into the life of a coach. Part 2 (coming out next week) will focus on the life of an influencer. In this episode, I discuss: How coaching allows you to make your own rules Building a flex business that evolves with you The limitless revenue streams of coaching The overwhelming learning curve that you may be navigating alone Constantly investing because the coaching industry over-emphasizes financial success How to know if coaching is the path for you Want to send a voice note to the podcast and have Chelsea answer you on air?

Are you over the meme-ification of Human Design? I am. As a Reflector, I’m constantly told that I’m a unicorn, shapeshifter, and chameleon - WTF does that mean in the real world? How can I use that knowledge day to day? The internet, especially Instagram, lacks nuance. That’s why I’m so excited to bring today’s guest, Emma Dunwoody, to dig into the real depth of Human Design! Emma Dunwoody is a Human Design Expert, Master Coach and Behavioral Specialist who believes in the importance of being your own guru. She also hosts the #1 Global Human Design Podcast “The Human Design Podcast.” Her perspective is so refreshing because she doesn’t believe in the prescriptive nature that so many Human Design accounts try to push on the internet. Similar to astrology, it’s important to take your entire chart into account and translate it based on YOUR truth. If you get a reading from an expert, they’re still distilling the information from their own perspective. Emma is working to teach people how to read and interpret their own charts intuitively. Stay tuned until the end, where she’ll be answering listener questions! In this episode, we chat about: Busting myths about Reflectors (I got you bb’s!) Our Human Design pet peeves How to use Human Design within your business What to do about “consistency” if you’re constantly inconsistent Breaking out of the stereotypes of your design Why learning to interpret your own chart is so beneficial Catch this episode about how I run my business as a Reflector!

Authority used to be a word that activated my rage. But as business owners, we’re constantly hearing how important it is to “establish our authority.” I always felt this framing set up a weird power dynamic between business owner and client. Today’s guest, Hayley Lloyd, completely reframed my understanding of authority by introducing the idea of “feminine authority.” Hayley is a Business & Mindset Coach specializing in guiding service-based business owners to become Feminine Authorities online & scale to multi 6 /7 figures. Hayley is extremely business savvy. That was clear to me in the first few minutes of our conversation. But she also integrates her business knowledge with energetics to really ground the experience of leading a business. As we near the end of the year and our feeds are cluttered with scarcity and urgency, I know this listen is going to help you get your feet back on the ground and flow in your biz! In this episode, we chat about: Why going “all in” too soon can derail your business How reinvesting in the business pays off in the long run Hayley’s signature process of establishing “feminine authority” How to start listening to your body to make decisions What is inner authority vs. outer authority?

If you’re considering pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle, you need to listen to this episode. Last week, I touched on the ins and outs of traveling full time while running a business. This week, I get into the “invisible” challenges. In the spirit of keeping it 100% - traveling triggers A LOT of issues. From missing your college friends’ weddings to dealing with gut issues and stress, I want you to go in prepared. After years of traveling, I’ve found out how to copy + paste my routine no matter where I am on the map. The sobering truth is: it’s not as glamorous as people like to make it out to be. You might come up against feelings of extreme loneliness when you’re in a new place traveling solo. You will probably have moments when you’re like, “why am I putting myself through this?!” But for me, it’s all worth it. I’ll tell you exactly why in this episode. Tune in if you’re curious about traveling more in the coming months. This episode will help you BIG TIME! And if you haven't heard last week's episode, How To Travel Full-Time Part 1: Everything You Need to Know About Being a Digital Nomad, check it out HERE! Today, we’re diving into: How I’m able to establish a similar routine in every country, no matter what timezone I’m in Using health as a deciding factor of where to travel Navigating wonky, unfamiliar transit options The sacrifices this lifestyle requires me to make How dynamics change with friends and family when you become a full-time digital nomad Learning how to assimilate to new cultures Why I continue to do it, despite all the chaos!

It’s time to demystify the digital nomad lifestyle. Traveling full-time sounds expensive and chaotic, doesn’t it? What if I told you I actually save more $, pay off more debt, feel safer, and get more out of life by traveling nomadically? In today’s episode, we’re getting INTO IT. I discuss: How to choose you’re next travel destination Navigating foreign languages on your own Finding travel communities for the inside scoop How to make space for travel in your work processes Embracing a minimalist lifestyle You can expect me to answer questions like: What are the practical aspects you need to consider before diving into full-time travel? How can you navigate visas from one place to the next? What do you need to plan for if you’re going to work abroad? Full disclaimer: traveling full-time is not easy, breezy or beautiful. It can be messy, exhausting, chaotic, and lonely; but when you’re fully equipped and know what you’re getting yourself into, you can take a deep breath, and have more confidence in designing your nomadic life.

No, you don’t automatically need to go on birth control or Accutane in order to heal your acne. In fact, you probably shouldn’t because both ‘solutions’ come with REAL consequences for your health. Today’s guests, Danielle Gronich & Kayleigh Christina, are co-founders of CLEARSTEM Skincare, the one-and-only toxin-free skincare line that targets both acne + aging at the same time. A few years ago, Kayleigh was experiencing cystic acne so badly, she couldn’t recognize herself in the mirror — a solution was desperately needed. After being let down by western medicine, Kayleigh found Danielle’s acne clinic and finally got the care she deserved. The holistic approach Danielle used cleared up Kayleigh's skin and transformed both of their lives. A business was born from the passion they both had for the healing process and the need to bring comprehensive solutions to more people. These two are the definition of the Yin and Yang — Danielle is the science mastermind and Kayleigh is the marketing wizard; together, they’re making CLEARSTEM a powerhouse brand, here to stay. Whether you struggle with acne, or want some brutally honest skincare tips, (sprinkled with some well-rounded business advice) - this episode is for you. These two are a prime example of powering a business with passion! In this episode, we discuss: CLEARSTEM’s unconventional origin story Understanding the root causes of acne Why birth control isn’t the answer to your acne Pore-clogging ingredients (and how to spot them!) Learning to trust your intuition as business owners How to navigate business as a partnership What’s next for CLEARSTEM skincare Want to launch a podcast?
