Bonjour!   My name is Chelsea.  Aesthetician, Mom, Wife, Social Justice Advocate, and Lifelong Seeker of who I am. I've spent the past few years on a soul searching sabbatical that turned into a deep dive of healing, unlearning old habits, and enjoying who I am when I'm not trying to fit myself into a box of who I or others thought I should be.   Join me on this journey as we celebrate ourselves and those around us being exactly who we are and making bold decisions along the way.

    The Myth of Failure

    You are not a finished product. You are a masterpiece in progress. In this episode of Genesis Sais Quoi, we’re dismantling the myth of failure, and embracing the beauty of “becoming”.
