    Episode 102: Don’t Wait to Live

    Chelsea talks about losing a high school friend and the way loss snaps your sense of time into focus. She thinks about all the ways that we say later and asks what changes when we stop assuming later is even guaranteed. It's about choosing time with family or friends, making the call, taking the trip, being there while we can. A grounded conversation about presence, priorities and acting now.Connect with Chelsea! www.chelseahusum.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-husum/https://www.instagram.com/chelseahusum/#LiveFully #ChooseNow #PresenceOverEverything #DontWait #PodcastLife #NewEpisode #LipServiceandLashes

    Episode 101: Energy Is Everything with Rebecca Ahmed

    We talk a lot about managing our time—but what about managing our energy? Rebecca Ahmed has built her career around that question. As the former Chief Energy Officer of Caesars Entertainment, an international keynote speaker, and Founder & CEO (Chief Energy Officer) of Energetic Impact, Rebecca has spent more than 15 years in HR and leadership learning what makes people light up, what drains them, and how our energy affects everyone around us. In this conversation, Rebecca takes Chelsea back to the middle of COVID, when she was brought in to help Caesars Entertainment re-energize emerging leaders across its properties during an incredibly uncertain time. Her goal? Help people move out of survival mode and start finding ways to thrive again. But this conversation goes way beyond the workplace. Chelsea and Rebecca get into the pressure so many women put on themselves to do everything, why being “busy” isn’t necessarily something to brag about, and the freedom that comes from finally admitting, “Someone else can do this.” They talk delegation, protecting your energy, being present with the people in front of you, and learning how to empathize without carrying someone else’s emotions around for the rest of the day. Rebecca also opens up about the deeply personal experience that changed the direction of her career and ultimately led her to study Energy Leadership and write *The Energy of Success*. And sometimes, recharging doesn’t need to be complicated. It might be 15 minutes outside, putting down your phone, laughing with someone you love—or, in Chelsea’s case, discovering that laser tag and a demolition derby bring her an unexpected amount of joy. Rebecca compares our energy to a phone battery: you wouldn’t expect your phone to keep working without plugging it in. So why do we expect that from ourselves? This episode is a reminder to pay attention to what lights you up, notice what’s quietly draining you, and give yourself permission to recharge along the way.

    Episode 99: Quiet, Then Clarity with Anna Russell

    How One Retreat Changed Everything for Anna Russell An honest conversation about burnout, courage, community, and what can happen when you say yes to the right opportunity at exactly the right time. When Anna attended Chelsea’s Unapologetic Retreat, she was already feeling burned out and questioning the career path she was on. Although walking into a room of strangers felt intimidating, the small-group retreat gave her something she desperately needed: space to slow down, reflect, feel heard, and reconnect with her own voice. Anna shares how one powerful moment—being invited to speak when she would normally have stayed quiet—helped her realize that her thoughts and ideas deserved to be heard. She left the Unapologetic Retreat with greater clarity and the courage to make a career decision she had already been circling. That decision changed far more than her job. With a shorter commute and the flexibility to work from home two days a week, Anna is more present with her family, more confident at work, and more willing to speak up, ask questions, and pursue new opportunities. Her husband is now able to be a stay-at-home dad, she can have lunch with her children, and their family has found a calmer, more connected daily rhythm. Chelsea and Anna also explore the friendships formed at the retreat, the healing power of being truly seen by other women, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who support your growth instead of asking you to shrink. In This Episode, Chelsea and Anna Discuss: Recognizing when burnout is signaling that something needs to changeWhy a small-group retreat can create deeper connections than a large conferenceThe pressure of being one of the only women in upper managementFinding clarity through quiet time, journaling, and reflectionLearning to speak up instead of saving your ideas for laterChoosing alignment over the position you thought you wantedHow flexibility and work-life balance can transform family lifeThe confidence that comes from trusting your instinctsBuilding meaningful friendships during seasons of changeModeling courage, resilience, and growth for your childrenSupporting other women without shrinking or competing Key Takeaways: Finding your voice doesn’t always require a dramatic moment—it can begin by speaking up when you normally would have stayed quiet.Burnout may be a sign that you’ve outgrown your current path.The right career move should support your life, not consume it.Quiet and reflection can help you hear what you already know deep down.A supportive community can provide encouragement, accountability, and friendship during major transitions.Choosing what aligns with your priorities can create positive changes throughout your work, family, and home life.Letting your children see you make brave choices teaches them that growth is worth pursuing, even when it feels uncomfortable.

    Epidosde 97: Loving Again

    Chelsea is back with a sweet life update—and a very special new addition to the family! In this heartfelt follow-up, she introduces Bonnie, a lovable chocolate Lab who unexpectedly captured their hearts and quickly settled into her new home. Chelsea shares the story of what drew her to Bonnie, their emotional first meeting, and the funny little quirks that have already made “Bonnie Boo Boo” part of the family. She also opens up about continuing to move through the grief of losing their beloved dog, Jax. Along with the complicated emotions that come with welcoming a new dog while still missing him deeply.

    Episode 96: Listening to the Whispers with Christina Langdon

    Chelsea sits down with Christina Langdon—keynote speaker, high-performance coach, former media executive, author, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia survivor—to explore what it means to redefine success, embrace reinvention, and create a future that feels deeply aligned with who you are. Christina helped build and scale some of the world's most recognized brands, including Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Fast Company. She spent nearly two decades working alongside Martha Stewart during periods of extraordinary expansion, reinvention, disruption, and comeback, and later served in senior leadership roles helping organizations navigate growth in rapidly changing markets. Together, Chelsea and Christina discuss why so many high-achieving women reach a point where external success no longer matches how they feel inside. They explore the "mid-life rift" that leaves many women asking what's next, and why the answer isn't working harder—it's learning to imagine a future that's bigger than your current circumstances. Pressure narrows our thinking, keeping us focused on protecting what we've built instead of envisioning what's possible. Christina explains why imagination is one of our greatest superpowers and how creating a compelling vision for your future is the first step toward meaningful change. In This Episode We Talk About: Rewriting your definition of success after life changes everything.The difference between protecting the life you've built and creating the life you're meant for.Turning pressure into possibility through imagination.Why guilt often keeps women managing everyone else while forgetting to care for themselves. One of the most memorable moments in this conversation comes when Christina is asked what question she would ask a woman who knows she wants something different but can't yet see what comes next. Her answer is beautifully simple: "Listen to the whispers." Those quiet thoughts that surface when you're alone—in the shower, driving in silence, or finally away from the noise—are often pointing you toward your next chapter. You don't need every answer or a perfectly mapped-out plan. You simply need the courage to pay attention to what keeps calling you. Christina reminds us that transformation doesn't begin with knowing how. It begins with believing that something more is possible, trusting your intuition, and taking one aligned step at a time. When you give yourself permission to imagine a different future, you begin creating it. --------- Christina created the Future Self Index™ Assessment for successful people who have become so busy managing today that they have lost sight of what they want next. It takes just a few minutes, and you’ll receive a personalized report showing how clearly your life and choices are connected to the future you want to create.

    Episode 95: Created on Purpose with Taylor Reinke

    Some of life's greatest lessons come from stepping outside your comfort zone and saying yes to experiences you never expected. In this episode of Lip Service & Lashes, Chelsea sits down with Taylor Reinke— Taylor is currently working in supply chain consulting, and has a wide range of experiences ranging from working for a startup eco-friendly surfboard company in South Africa to a Fortune 500 company to a faith-based non-profit (with a support raised salary). Taylor did robotics for 6 years in high school, which is what led her to receiving a full-ride scholarship to study Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M. Most important to her is making every person she interacts with know they are valued and respected, which is something she draws from her faith in Jesus. Together, Chelsea & Taylor dive into what travel can teach us about ourselves, why success doesn't have to look the same for everyone, and how embracing your unique gifts can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, dreaming of seeing more of the world, or simply looking for encouragement to trust your own path, this conversation is full of thoughtful insights and inspiration.
