AMPLIFY an Artists Movement Kelsey K

In this crazy year, I invite you to take a zoom out view of your life and give yourself some perspective.

On this episode of AMPLIFY I share a true story about something I witnessed involving an innocent woman and a not so wonderful incident. I speak vulnerably about where my personal head was at in regard to being zoomed into my circumstances at the exact moment I witnessed this incident and what it did to totally take me out of my own life.

This is a different type of episode with a lot more honesty from me thanI’m used to, but I hope you can find some relatability and be inspired to recognize the opportunities we have right here right now that most people do not and that some people never will have in this life time.

Thanks for tuning in…

This episode is packed with rich conversation about the importance of having people around you and asking for support, but also the “Okay-ness” around being the ONLY person that knows your vision, and the ONLY person that’s taking steps to make things happen – at least, in the beginning.

Jenny Gram is a force to be reckoned with. A gorgeous professional dancer AND a Business owner, but wait there’s more… she’s also been helping other companies run their administrative ishhh for almost 8 years!

For real get ready folks, because this episode is telling a beautiful story of what it means to change your whole life after building one already, and start a massive “Movenet”

from the ground up.

Jenny is just in the conceptual phase of this vision, however her willingness to ask for people to “come along” is exactly what community is all about!

We touch on a couple resources and mindset actions you as the listener can take as fellow artists and “Creative Career Pursuers”. – Of course – So listen closely and let this hour take you further ;)

Enjoy!

Hey Humans!

So this episode we are going to touch on a subject that really paralyzes a lot of us in our journeys as artists and just as people too.

COMPARING ourselves.

I believe that if we really want to be seen as a collective INDUSTRY – The Creatives – Transforming the comparison trap and shifting it into something else that enriches us as a whole is one of our very important and key jobs as artists in this world and for the revolution!

I talk about what I believe that change is in this episode :)

I say, Comparison can become inspiration

& Instead of competition what would happen we flipped it into Collaboration?

& one more thing… 

Thanks always for your support!

Check out our new IG @Amplifyyourheart to see more of what I do and  get in on conversations like this!
