In today’s episode Kelly shares her story stepping into her mission to support women in owning their own desires and letting go of societal expectations. Kelly was a competitive athlete her entire life and she had big goals to go to the Olympics. After her freshman year of college her coach wrote her a contract to lose weight and she began restricting her food. Kelly found herself quickly declining, and dropped out of school after Nationals where she was an All-American. From coming home to get healthy to spending time in the psych ward, Kelly emerge from that experience healthier on the outside, but she soon realized that she didn’t do the work to shift from surviving to thriving. She returned to school and received a degree in mental health, but it wasn’t until she was pregnant that she realized more needed to change. Kelly embarked on that journey. She left her career, started her own business, and after having her second son she left her marriage. That’s where she’s at today - none of it was easy, but her boys where the catalyst for her to change her life. She knew if she wanted to help other women she had to get herself together, and that’s what she did. Today Kelly is racing again, she’s healthy, and she no longer criticizes her body or feels undeserving of the things that she wants. Kelly is supporting women and men who have goals they’re hiding from and helping them show up as themselves.
