Kalin Karakehayov: From Chess Pro to SEO & Anti-Aging

from Ridiculously You with Julie May · host Julie May

In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Kalin Karakehayov, the founder of Seo.Domains and I Grow Younger (i.gy), for a conversation that proves your brain is the ultimate boundary-setter. Kalin’s journey from professional chess player to a man who’s made over 800,000 investment decisions is a masterclass in focus, but we’re digging into the messy parts, not just the glossy success story.We talk about the intense, strategic focus required to be an entrepreneur by heart—and how that same focus can become a trauma pattern, not a failure if not properly regulated. Kalin is on a monumental non-profit effort to reframe self-improvement and its language, and we discuss why the old "fix-yourself" language is the garbage-sauce that keeps us shrinking.Kalin's insight shows us how radical self-love is an active, strategic choice, much like chess or SEO. This conversation is about getting loud with your healing, ditching the shame around ambition, and building a clear, intuitively understandable knowledge system for your own life. You’ll laugh, cry, and realize that loving the ridiculous parts of yourself is how you get your power back.Want to learn more about Kalin Karakehayov? https://i.gyWant to learn more about Ridiculously You or join our newsletter? https://ridiculouslyyou.comReady to join the Ridiculous Women Society and stop shrinking? https://ridiculouslyyou.com/womenWant to learn more about Julie May or book her to speak? https://thejuliemay.com
