Who is The Deliberate One?

I get asked this question a lot at my workshops and the calls I facilitate. Here’s the answer to…

(Issue #51)

I made a decision more than 4 years ago that I was going to live my life with purpose and intentionality. I was going to care about the choices I made, consider how they impact me, and how they contribute to the goals I had set out. I was going to make choices every day that were in alignment with my values. I was going to lead with love instead of fear. I was going to show up for myself in ways that I hadn't before. I was going to treat the people I interact with daily with kindness, compassion, and an open heart and mind. I was going to live in the present moment.

I was going to live deliberately.

And by setting these intentions to live deliberately, I became The Deliberate One.

My Journey to Deliberate Living

Before I started on this path, my life was filled with sadness, loss, and feeling terribly unfulfilled with my job and my relationships. I constantly felt stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. It even manifested in physical ailments, like getting stress hives on the way to work or snappy behaviour to colleagues and loved ones.

I felt like I had been through it all… divorce, selling my home, giving up my dog, the cesspool of online dating, the death of my beloved step-dad, and getting fired. But it wasn't until my step-dad died, consumed with compounding grief, and feeling the toll of unchecked stress, problematic drinking habits, and unprocessed emotions, that I realized something needed to change. I was literally standing at the base of what seemed like an enormous mountain in front of me.

I started by considering what I was putting in my body and how I was moving it. I quit drinking, which opened up so much time, energy, and clarity. Gradually, I incorporated practices like breath work, journaling, walking daily, and cold therapy. I started looking at the hard things in my life as valuable lessons, and I began taking personal responsibility for where I was and getting myself out of where I didn't want to be. I dove into my subconscious blocks and unearthed my limited beliefs. Each deliberate choice brought me closer to the life I envisioned.

Core Values and Principles

Living deliberately means aligning my actions with my core values: personal responsibility, authenticity, compassion, and growth. These principles guide every decision I make, from how I interact with others to how I care for myself. It actually makes decisions that much easier with those as a gauge.

My Professional Path

With a background in commercial construction, I truly didn't think I'd do anything but that for so many years. Happy to be the hardworking and loyal employee to the industry. But after getting fired from the industry that I had built my identity around, I took it as an opportunity to do something different and found my true calling in helping others literally transform their lives

Constantly learning and evolving, I was specifically trained in how to expertly guide sessions through active listening and powerful questions/perspectives that allow my clients to gain fresh insights, foster self-awareness, and alchemize pain into power.

How I Help Others

Through integrative breath work sessions, and personalized mentorship, I support my clients in breaking through limiting beliefs, uncovering subconscious blocks, and stepping into a life they love and are proud of.

My mission is to help women live with intention, embrace their true selves, and follow through on their goals. Theres a significant shift in your power  and capabilities when you have focus, direction, actionable tools/resources, and full support and accountability.

Now shifting into a new evolution of my program this fall and leveraging added personal experience (and setbacks) so you can calm your mind, set empowering goals, and create a life you love. This program blends powerful somatic breath work, nervous system regulation with actionable mindset shifts, and practical strategies for lasting change.

This is foundational and life-changing.

Client Feedback

“Chelsea is so kind, cool, and calm. She wants to know what help is needed and will do her very best to guide you through what’s happened or what is happening. She follows up after the appointments and really helps keep people accountable to your comfort. With her experience, I am very confident she can help with any emotions or situations and she is not afraid to share or listen. It is a very open and safe environment. What surprised me most was the way Chelsea’s joy made the space so comfortable and her demeanour is awesome. She truly can be compassionate and supportive and can still make you giggle.”

Future Goals

Looking ahead, I am committed to continue contributing to the ripple effect in massive ways. Creating an army of resourced, happy, and fulfilled women who are capable of handling whatever comes their way. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned really well, the stress doesn’t stop, but our capacity to handle it with grace, resilience, and in effective ways, can increase exponentially… when we choose that path.

I want to show as many women as possible what’s possible when you shift your mindset, choose love over fear, and harness the power of your breath. I’m also committed to evolving my own growth, unlocking new levels, sharpening my tools, and searching for wonder instead of approval. I believe in the power of deliberate living and strive to inspire others to embrace this path.

Connect with Me

If my journey resonates in some way and is something you feel called to start on, if you’re stuck in a cycle that you don’t want to be in (but don’t know how to get out), I invite you to connect. Follow me on socials or reach out for a (complimentary) consultation and breath work session. Let's turn your 'someday' into 'today.'

Breathe it in, Be Deliberate, and please be good to yourself!
