• Kelsey’s journey of being told she “sounded like a Valley girl”—and how it shaped her

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas where I attended the Acquistion.com Scaling Workshop presented by Alex Hormozi and his team.

Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that’s for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars.

However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi’s team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.

It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I’d say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I’m glad I went.

The workshop is centered around the concept of ‘scaling’ (ex: growing your business with strategy, to the point where you could sell it if you wanted to). And as someone who runs a Marketing Consulting Company (Kelsey Reidl Consulting, Inc.) which is mainly centered around my own intellectual property, I am constantly negotiating with myself on whether I have chosen a sustainable model for my current life goals.

I wanted to surround myself with $1 million and $10 million dollar CEO’s to observe how they think, how they solve problems, and how they approach opportunity. Even though I knew I would have major imposter syndrome, I knew it was my next step. I also knew that it would push me to become a better, moer well rounded business coach for my clients.

So, Viva Las Vegas! Let’s do it!

In this episode, I’ll share:

• Why I decided to attend Alex Hormozis’ event
• My hesitations around leaving my family for the first time since my little guy was born! (being a mama entrepreneur is a TRIP!)
• What I thought of the workshop experience curated by the Hormozi team + the structure
• The key lessons I learned about Scaling
• Action I am taking and what I will implement

I’m giving away two signed Alex Hormozi books—100 Million Dollar Offers & 100 Million Dollar Leads!

What happens when the life you thought you were building no longer feels like it fits? What if the path that once felt exciting now feels... heavy?

In this powerful episode, Lindsay Simcik, host of Almost 30 Podcast, joins Kelsey for a deeply honest and illuminating conversation about evolving through life’s biggest transitions.

From Saturn Returns to soul journaling to postpartum rediscovery, Lindsay opens up about her own journey of transformation. She shares what it was like to leave behind a version of herself that no longer aligned with who she was becoming and how motherhood became one of her greatest spiritual teachers.

Kelsey and Lindsay explore how in their late 20s and early 30s often demand a full-body, soul-level reckoning.

Together, they break down why this season of life can feel so intense, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and how to build a life that truly reflects you not the one handed to you by society, parents, or past versions of yourself.

Lindsay also shares the powerful inner tools she uses to stay grounded and connected like her soul journaling practice and energetic hygiene rituals and talks candidly about redefining success, slowing down in a hustle-driven culture, and learning to honor the natural seasons of life and creativity.

Whether you’re navigating the chaos of new motherhood, stepping away from something that used to define you, or simply trying to tune back into your inner voice, this episode will leave you feeling seen, soothed, and supported.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO CHAT ABOUT:

• What the Saturn Return actually is (and why it hits hard in your late 20s)
• The neuroscience behind feeling more conscious, clear, and emotionally grounded around age 26
• How to navigate moments when you realize your life isn’t aligned
• The spiritual power of surrendering to change
• Lindsay’s simple yet transformative practice of “Soul Journaling”
• Why getting quiet (and off your phone) might be the most revolutionary act
• How to read the messages behind your emotions instead of running from them

What happens when three friends sitting on a coffee shop bench during a pandemic decide to reimagine what a coffee brand can be?

On this episode of the Visionary Life Podcast, Kelsey sits down with Sandrine Somé, Co-Founder of Nile Coffee, a black-owned coffee company that’s reshaping the industry by infusing every aspect of their brand with art and culture into everything they do!

Sandrine’s entrepreneurial spark didn’t ignite in a boardroom or brainstorm session. It happened way off the grid visiting her family in Burkina Faso, completely cut off from WIFI. What could have been an entrepreneur’s nightmare became her creative breakthrough.

The idea for Nile Coffee was born on a bench outside SAm James Coffee in Toronto, where Sandrina and her friends spent countless hours talking about life, work and their dreams. They recognized the gap in the coffee space and an opportunity to build something that spoke directly to their creative community.

Rather than sell coffee as fuel for the 9-to-5 grind they positioned it as inspiration for 5-9 passion projects. In a market where nearly everyone’s coffee tastes good, they decided to stand out through culture, community and meaningful connection.

Some of Nile’s biggest wins came not through big marketing budgets, but through authentic collaboration. This is your powerful reminder that success in business isn’t just about reach, it’s about resonance.

TIMESTAMPS

[03:21] Why traditional structures feel suffocating and how to carve out new ways to work and live!

[09:45] How Sandrine’s early entrepreneurial sparks and how design + cafe culture helped her imagine new kinds of gathering spaces.

[19:06] How her creative deepened when she gave herself full permission to rest and go inward

[34:14] How you should be building a business that serves the future version of you, not just the present moment.

[44:10] Rebuilding health, creativity, and work life from the ground up.

[51:25] What a ‘creative commune’ could look like

In this episode, Kelsey chats with Robyn and Monika, the powerhouse besties and co-founders behind Mint Cleaning, a wildly successful natural cleaning product company born out of a tiny town in British Columbia.

These two met at a mom group and became instant friends, and launched a cleaning company the very next day (seriously!). Within hours, they had a waitlist and they’ve been riding that momentum ever since.

We get into their incredible origin story, how they transitioned from service-based to product-based business, and how Mint Cleaning has grown into a million-dollar brand with a cult following.

They share the bold moves that helped them get noticed (hello, Jillian Harris brother’s hand-delivery), the behind-the-scenes of their Dragon’s Den pitch, and how they navigate social media with intention and fun.

Robyn and Monika also open up about balancing motherhood guilt with entrepreneurship, managing business growth, and staying grounded through the ups and downs.
