What if your dream home almost went up in flames before you even got the keys?On this episode of Lip Service & Lashes, I’m pulling back the curtain on our Nebraska barndo build… and let’s just say, it was not all Pinterest-perfect. We’re talking dented appliances straight out of the box, TVs that didn’t work, hurricane-level winds ripping things off the house, and yes… a fire that came way too close for comfort.I was the superintendent, the project manager, and the one constantly asking myself, “what did I just sign up for?”But here’s the thing… somewhere in the chaos, the setbacks, and the moments that could’ve broken me, this project became so much more than a house. It became a lesson in resilience, letting go of perfection, and realizing what actually matters.This episode is real, a little wild, and honestly kind of funny looking back. If you’ve ever taken on something big, messy, and totally out of your comfort zone… you’re going to feel this one. Because building something meaningful? It’s rarely perfect. But it’s always worth it. 🔥Connect with Chelsea!www.chelseahusum.comhttps://www.instagram.com/chelseahusumhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-husum/

This solo episode is Chelsea with the mic, the mess, the mindset shifts—and absolutely zero filter.She pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to juggle a keynote, a home build, a business, a family, and a brain that won’t stop spinning at 2am. The stress. The pressure. The “I asked for this life… so why does it feel this heavy sometimes?” moments. And the honest realization that chasing big dreams still requires you to check in with the human living inside the chaos.Chelsea opens up about a recent health scare that forced her to pause and get real with herself. Not the highlight-reel version. The “am I actually okay?” version. The kind of self-reflection most high-achievers avoid because slowing down feels uncomfortable—but necessary.This episode is a reminder that the life you prayed for can still overwhelm you. That boundaries are not optional. That stress management is a leadership skill. And that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop, breathe, and ask yourself if you still like the life you’re building.Connect with Chelsea!www.chelseahusum.comhttps://www.instagram.com/chelseahusumChelsea Husum | LinkedIn

In this eye-opening conversation, we rip the filter off youth sports and get real about the insane pressure today’s young athletes are carrying. Between perfectly curated highlight reels, comparison culture on steroids, and the relentless push to “perform or disappear,” social media has completely rewritten what competition looks and feels like for kids.We dive into how the game has changed—because it has. Club sports are practically a second job, high school and club coaches operate from totally different playbooks, and kids are stuck trying to balance conflicting expectations while also being told to “have fun out there.” Meanwhile, their every move is more visible than ever… and so are the judgments.This episode goes deep into the mental toll, the shifting landscape of competitive youth athletics, and the complex reality of raising and supporting kids in a world where even sports come with a scoreboard of likes, follows, and pressure-filled “success stories.” If you’ve ever wondered what today’s kids are really navigating behind the scenes—this one will stop you in your tracks.
