117: Navigating Entrepreneurship Through Massive Change With Kelsey Smith

Are you feeling that little itch—the one telling you it’s time to take a step, make a move, and shake things up? Oh, friend, you are not alone. 🙌

In the latest episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with the incredible Kelsey Smith, a powerhouse entrepreneur who’s no stranger to massive change. 🌪️ Kelsey’s story is wild—from juggling three littles under five (yes, THREE!) to leaving behind a 10-year career that no longer lit her up, she’s a walking, talking lesson in trusting yourself and stepping into the unknown.

She reminded me (and now I’m reminding you):
👉 The answers you’re looking for? They’re already within you.
👉 You don’t need to figure it all out at once. Just take the first step.
👉 Trust yourself—your inner voice is never wrong.

Real talk: Entrepreneurship, life pivots, or even just navigating your next big decision can feel terrifying. But as Kelsey shared, every step forward, even a small one, is a win. And when you stop looking for external validation and start tuning into your own voice—oh man, the magic happens. ✨

💡 Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1️⃣ Burn the Boats: Sometimes you’ve gotta let go of the safety net to truly soar.
2️⃣ Quiet the Noise: Turn off the distractions, grab a journal, and listen to YOU.
3️⃣ Get Help: Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, or someone to watch the kids for an hour, lean into support—because you can’t do it all.
