We recently connected with Kelly and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kelly , appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
Having to overcome heartbreak pain and loss over and over again throughout my life beginning in early childhood and persisting throughout my formative years into adulthood
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I’m blessed to be able to serve those who have struggled with Substance use disorder and mental health challenges
We’re Authentic and that’s our brand I’ve been able to make connections by being true to my self and not hiding my personal struggles or my past
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The quality that has served me best is persistence never giving up on my dreams or allowing others to make me believe that it wasn’t possible .
The best advice I can give is to never give up and be very selective on who you share your big thoughts with. What’s meant for you may only be able to be seen by you for now and that’s okay protect your vision
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
Hope For The Flowers! I was given this book as a print out by a mental health professional when I was in prison and it gave me hope and inspiration to not only believe that I could become more then what I had always been.
You may be born a Caterpillar but you can always turn into a butterfly
