We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Chelsea Ravansari. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Chelsea below.
Hi Chelsea, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
I realized that the more time I spent working on my self-care habits (like reprogramming my mindset & regulating my nervous system), the more efficient & effortless life became. By incorporating real intentional self-care habits that nourished my spiritual growth, soul, and body, I improved my self-confidence and became more resilient to life’s challenges.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’ve been working in the wedding industry as a hair & airbrush makeup artist for 10+ years. I love all the pretty details and that love is in the air, but also, the transformational aspect of it. The fact that each step and choice I make in creating their look, helps them feel that much more beautiful and confident. Not to mention how pampered they feel because of my luxury service.
Although transforming yourself on the outside is wonderful and can give you a temporary self-confidence boost, my true passion is to help brides + women cultivate lasting confidence and manage stress. In the last few months, I started expanding my service offerings with self-care challenges, self-care, goals + finance planner, a bridal wellness program, and you’ll be amongst the first to know that I am releasing a women’s self-care + success course in late August!
I’m telling you, it’s been wild to make so much happen in such a short amount of time all because I made the intention to put my health first. I know it’s hard to make that initial change but if you don’t have your health and your sanity, what really is there?
I’ve also been able to help women build better self-care habits through my well-thought-out, undated, 12-month planner. It helps you stay on top of your goals, to-do lists, self-care habits, and finances. It’s all about enhancing your quality of life while making your vision board dreams come true.
And now with my bride program, I help brides learn how to transform their self-care routines in 90-days (or at your own pace) so they can be more confident + blissful on their wedding days.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The skills that have positively impacted my self-care/confidence/career most are: Habit-stacking, Cycle syncing, and Journaling.
I have a very yin, yang, feminine, masculine way of teaching because I believe both are needed to reach a desired outcome.
When done right, habit-stacking provides you a clear system to follow and takes the brainwork out of the HOW people tend to get stuck on. “How am I gonna do this? I don’t have enough time”.
As a high-achiever type woman, I felt broken so many times because I’d constantly burn out or have zero energy left at the end of the each day. Learning to realign with my body’s feminine cycle has increased my energy levels, balanced my hormone fluctuations, and so many other positive benefits.
Journaling sounds too simple I know, but there’s many ways to do it. Whether challenging yourself to brain dump for 3 pages each morning (a process called Morning Pages) or just journaling around a new moon, you end up learning a lot about yourself that you may have not realized was there. For me it helps me process emotions and plan out my next business idea. It’s great to keep record of it all.
The key is to just start. There’s no perfect journey. And as much as I love planning how I’d like things to go, you also have to stay open to magic happening. Sometimes things that don’t happen or go as planned are really life’s way of making even better things happen.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
Self-care baby! There’s literally 6 different types of self-care habits you can do for your needs. I have a blog post on how to self-care yourself back to normal but it’s extremely important to give yourself space to feel overwhelmed, or angry, sad, whatever it is. Emotions don’t always come at “ideal” times so I like to give myself maybe 20 mins at a more ideal time of the day when I can be alone and process my emotions. I’ll ask myself why I’m feeling that way, and honestly just ask myself what I need. Your body will always know, we just tend to ignore or have learned to tune it out.
