Episode 318 Overcoming Reality TV with Kelly Chase (Part 2)

John continues his conversation with Kelly Chase. They discuss how saying "no" can create better opportunities and Kelly's personal faith journey, from being "spiritual but not religious" to developing a deeper relationship with God, and how it has shifted her mindset, habits, and work. In Part 1, Kelly talked about her experience on Netflix's "Love Is Blind," the emotional struggles that came after the show aired, dealing with online hate, people pleasing, anxiety, and learning how to rebuild her life and mindset.

You are important, and you're worthy of whatever you want to create. Your story matters too." "If it's not in perfect alignment with who you are and where you want to be, say no." "Rather than viewing them (people in the same business or industry as you) as competition, view them as collaborators." "We just can't shame people for who they are. We have to accept them for who they are, and we can't make someone think a different way, or make someone show up a different way, or believe a certain way as you do. But you can inspire them through your actions without forcing it down someone's throat." "At the end of the day, it's having radical faith that the thing is already here, it's happening, what you're desiring, that or something even better. Maybe you do have to go through a hard and challenging time, but at the other end, there's purpose after pain." "Success is being happy and grateful with where you're at, because if you can't be happy right now, you're not going to be happy at $5 million or $20 million, or with five kids and a house in Vermont." "We can create our own beliefs and our own stories. That's what helps us get through and create our own reality."
