Do you ever feel stuck in a rut—like something’s missing, but you can’t quite name it?

Lately, I’ve been feeling this way in my life in Mexico City. After a powerful therapy session, I finally uncovered what was missing: play.

So naturally, I did what anyone would do in that situation... I called a professional. A play professional (yep, that’s a thing). My real-life friend, Dr. Dave Neale—a play researcher and game designer—joins me for a conversation/coaching session to help me figure out how to bring more play into my adult life.

And wow, did it open something up.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why adults resist play—and how to overcome that block
• Tiny shifts to invite more play into your life (without needing more time or money)
• How play can help dismantle perfectionism, fear, and everyday stress

Hit play to learn how infusing a little play into your day might just change... everything.

Have you ever felt a deep longing for "something more" — a pull you can't explain but also can’t ignore?

In this solo episode, Chelsea uses the lyrics of a Disney song to unpack the hidden wisdom inside those vague but persistent yearnings we often silence. If you've ever questioned whether your desire for change is valid — especially when it doesn’t fit a neat plan — this episode will help you finally understand why that longing matters more than you think.

You'll learn:

• Why your longing isn't a problem to fix but a compass to lead the way.
• Why "making sense" is the wrong goal when you're trying to build a life that truly fits you.
• How to take the first step toward honoring your inner pull — without needing perfect clarity first.

If you want to take that first step to honor your longing- Pathway to Purpose is open now for enrollment >> https://coachchelsmd.com/pathwaytopurpose/
