  • Re-wiring My Brain

    Every episode that I listen to rewires my brain and establishes a new standard that I have for my life. I listen on my way to work and it acts like a life coach that helps to set the tone for my day. Powerful podcast especially because she doesn’t speak abstractly. Kelley provides examples from her own life or other possibilities so that each episode is accessible and actionable. She don’t want us to struggle, ya’ll and we don’t have to!
