This experience was everything I didn’t know I needed.

This was my first-ever coaching container, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I had never done anything like this before.

At the beginning, I felt overwhelmed and directionless—like I had all this energy and drive, but I didn’t know where to put it. I didn’t feel super sure of myself, my decisions, or my desires. I was definitely playing small in a lot of ways.

Some sessions were crunchy, but they changed me the most.

There were two sessions where I got off the call and thought, “Ugh.” I didn’t want to hear what was said. But after journaling and reflecting, I realized: that’s exactly what I needed.

Those sessions created the biggest transformation. The other calls were always super helpful and exciting—I would get off feeling lit up and enthusiastic. But it was the combination of loving support and honest challenge that helped me grow so much.

I have the tools now. And I trust myself.

Now I feel so much more in control of my mind and emotions. I have the tools to meet challenges with curiosity, grace, and understanding—instead of panic, anxiety, or fear.

I’ve learned I can feel anything and still be safe. Still be successful. Still be okay.

Wins I’ll Never Forget:

• Healed a family relationship that had been painful for years—we talk every week now.
  
• Made $22K in one month, got engaged, and spent half the month traveling in Italy.
  
• Booked my dream job with Amazon, and signed with two commercial agents.
  
• My anxiety—especially around flying—has gotten so much better.
  
• My money mindset has shifted, and I finally released my fear around debt.
• My relationship with weed transformed. I used to escape my brain—now I enjoy being with myself.

The voice inside my head is completely different.

What I’m most proud of is my self-talk. My inner dialogue is 100% different than when I started.

I actually like being in my own mind now. It’s a much happier place to be.

If you’re feeling called to this kind of work—DO IT.

I didn’t have the money when I joined. I was already in debt and on a payment plan. But I never once regretted the investment. Every time a payment came out, I just moved money and figured it out.

Any amount you spend investing in yourself will come back to you. You are your best investment.

I’m definitely not done. I think I’m officially on the coaching train now.

It ended up being more right than I knew.

When I first reached out to hire a coach, I had quit performing and then come back to it a couple months later on my own terms. I’d done a little bit of coaching before, and I just knew I was going to go further with help. I wanted to go places, and I didn’t know how to get there by myself.

I was like—please, somebody with the skillset, help me.

Kelli and I worked together 1:1, and by the end of that, I had booked a performing job. I felt secure in it. I really enjoyed the work. And from that place, I started looking at: What do I want to do with my life, with my energy, with my skillset—beyond just working for someone else?

At the end of that first container, we had kind of touched on maybe me becoming a coach. It was something that was in the ether but hadn’t really come into being. But I knew I was going to come back and work with Kelli—I just didn’t know when.

That summer before Anything & Everything opened, I had come to some realizations about my priorities and what fulfillment looked like to me beyond just performing. So when this container opened, it was just a Fuck Yes. It wasn’t just about the career stuff anymore. Kelli had pivoted from THE PARADIGM to Anything & Everything, and that shift ended up being the exact direction I didn’t know I needed—because I was expanding in multiple areas of my life.

It ended up being more right than I knew.

That old identity—‘I’m not someone who can learn’—was gone.

The biggest shift that happened for me, which I think is still echoing—and hopefully will echo for the rest of my life—was letting go of the idea that I’m not someone who can learn.

That identity had been with me for so long. Through this container, I unpacked it, let it go, and created a new identity where I’ve actually proved to myself that I can learn.

That felt huge. Because if that thing—which I believed for so long—isn’t true, then what other things might not be true either?

It opened up this sense of: What else is possible that I haven’t let myself believe yet?

The discomfort was real—but the freedom was bigger.

The most challenging part was probably those first few weeks, when I came in swinging with some really great ideas from the end of 2024— and then hit a wall at the start of 2025. I was holding a lot of judgment about my validity in the space. There was the feeling, and then the judgment about the feeling. Like, “I don’t need to feel this way, but I do.” That was the hardest part—opening up about that and letting myself be honest in it.

But it was worth it. Because it had just been in my head. And by holding onto it, I was holding myself back from fully showing up—for myself and for everyone else in the space.

Letting it out allowed me to let go of the judgment. That experience really showed me the benefits of choosing vulnerability. I chose this container. I put my money where my mouth is. And I showed up.

That moment has given me evidence I can take with me everywhere.

If you’re standing on the edge—trust in that leap.

If I were talking to a past version of myself, or someone who’s standing on the edge and thinking about joining, I’d say: trust. Trust in that leap.

Change is already happening—so make it a choice. The discomfort is temporary. Commit to it. Lean in.

“Worth it” doesn’t even capture it. It’s worth it—times 50.
