60. I'm Writing a Book

This episode is all about what it actually looks like to step into something uncomfortable—and follow through on it. Kelsey shares the behind-the-scenes of her misogi this year: writing and releasing a book. Not just starting it, but committing to the process, showing up consistently, and putting something out into the world that people will see, read, and judge. After years of having the outline, the ideas, and the vision sitting there, she’s finally stepping into it. This episode breaks down what that process really looks like—from messy first drafts, to building momentum, to navigating the discomfort of being fully seen. She also talks about the idea of a “misogi”—doing one intentionally hard thing each year—and how this challenge is pushing her in a completely different way than anything physical ever has. This episode also dives into fear, hesitation, and why so many people never act on what they know they’re meant to do. Not because they can’t—but because they don’t. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, a goal, or something you know you should go after… this is your reminder. Growth doesn’t come from staying where you’re comfortable. It comes from stepping into the unknown and figuring it out as you go.
