I have a few questions for you:
Straight up: I was once in your shoes: thinking about becoming a coach.
If you feel you’re being called to the COACHING industry as your career or a supplement to what you’re doing now, but aren’t sure how to actually BE A COACH, this message is for you.
Don’t you just love when that happens?
In this episode of Get Gutsy, I’m going to take you on a journey back in time when I FIRST discovered the field of coaching and hung up my shingle as a coach and business owner.
Learn the moves I’ve made to still be standing close to a decade later, having coached, mentored + inspired thousands of spirit-led women on the path.
And plug into the 3 golden keys you need to master to cash in on your calling™ as a coach.
Mother Goddess, hear me rise.
Mother Goddess, hear me rise.
Over and over again, I could hear this powerful message flowing through my body.
I was fully naked.
On a massage table.
In an open-air room at my retreat center in Gokarna Beach, India.
Two massage therapists (angels!) were giving me a synchronized hot oil massage (heaven!).
The oil was a custom blend based on my ayurvedic dosha (I’m vata - pitta).
I had been loved up for an entire week.
Cared for.
Nourished.
Fed.
I napped everyday.
Went to bed early.
Rose early for sunrise yoga.
Sat in sangha with a circle of sisters on the path.
In a land that had been calling me forward for a decade.
India.
And there, on that massage table, I heard a message that was so clear, so solid, so deep, I knew it was meant for me.
And I knew it was meant to be shared by me, with you, right now.
What do you do when what works for you stops working?
Want to break the cycle of setting yourself up for disappointment?
Then you’re going to love today’s conversation with Eleni Andreadis, who is an amazing Get Gutsy Certified Coach!
I met Eleni a year ago when she became a student in my coaching school. She blew me away with her courage and faith from the beginning. I'm pumped to share her inspirational message and story with you today.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Eleni shares:
In this heart-to-heart, I also reveal how I developed my own relationship with God, and the important role my deceased sister Julie played in that.
Warning: This episode goes deep. Don't listen if you only like to scratch the surface in life.

Wondering if you have what it takes to invest in other entrepreneurs to help make their dreams come true? Or, to create a thriving business in another country?
Well Kelsey Matheson’s instincts have taken her on a powerful journey exploring these realms! I just loved talking to this woman who moves through life with eyes wide open and tremendous courage.
Kelsey reveals how she tapped into her gut feelings to create a yoga retreat center in Costa Rica, -- how dreamy! -- and also financially back other entrepreneurs with a social purpose.
Now, after healing from a personal health crisis, Kelsey has launched the next chapter in her work >> a new online course about conscious living and optimal health.
And girl, make sure you listen until the end. Kelsey’s super vulnerable gutsy move is a very personal experience she navigated with grace, love, and no shame. She inspired me to open up about my own experience of discovering at 25 years old that I have an older brother that I never knew I had.
About Our Guest
Kelsey Matheson-McCord was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and, today, she is an international entrepreneur by way of co-owning a number of socially and environmentally responsible companies. Kelsey began dancing and acting at the age of six and went on to train at theatre school in New York City before landing in Toronto to focus on an acting career. During that time she also dabbled in producing and marrying art with business quickly became second nature to her. In 2009 she left the film industry in search of a new challenge that would deliver that combination of creativity and commerce. Kelsey teamed up with two American partners to develop Anamaya Resort – a stunning yoga retreat center in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
After Anamaya opened, Kelsey knew she had found her life’s passion. Her second company, BE Outfitter, produces backpacks and outdoor gear that helps put children through school around the world. While all this good stuff was happening, Kelsey birthed a daughter and subsequently suffered through depression. Instead of letting this condition ruin her life, she sought the help of numerous health and wellness experts.
Much discovery led to recovery and the realization that Kelsey could help others. The call to coach was heard and kelseymatheson.com now serves as a hub for those seeking to benefit from either her business prowess, through private training sessions, or achieve optimal health through her brand new e-course.
Both Kelsey and her various projects have received coveted media attention via Elle, Conde Nast Traveler, Huffington Post, Forbes and In Style, to name a few. Kelsey currently lives in Brooklyn, NYC with her husband and daughter.
Enjoy!

I’m back from my 2-week journey through India.
I turned 40 last week. (Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate!)
Everything feels … different.
It’s hard to explain.
I saw things in India I’d never seen before.
Felt things I’d never felt before.
Ate food I’d never tasted before.
Bought a silk caftan I’m so excited to wear (OMG so pretty).
Wore bindis on my face.
Learned.
Connected.
Sweated my ass off.
Laughed.
Moved.
Felt alive.
I planned to write this post and record a podcast episode with this theme for a few months now. I even wrote a good part of it when I was in India and thought I’d finish the piece last week … but I simply didn’t have the space inside myself for it.
Self-care had gone to another level during my time in India … and I didn’t want to revert back to unhealthy habits of pushing myself too hard in a quest to prove myself to the world.
My theme during this cycle is WORTH, TRUTH + LETTING GO.
I’m honoring this even when it feels hard.
What are you ready to honor even though it may feel hard?
What new moves are you ready to make?
Questions to ponder today …
You may wonder why I am so obsessed with India. My answer >> she speaks to my soul.
The book I read by Stanley Wolpert called “India” captures my feelings pretty well …
“Ah, India, who can fathom your depths or reconcile your complexities?”
She’s mysterious, beautiful, heartbreaking and oppressive.
Grand, dilapidated, simple and confusing.
She’s everything and nothing all at once.
And she set the stage for the ushering in of the next decade of my life and the next level of my teachings.
Here’s what flowed through me on the evening of the FULL MOON (May 10, 2017) about India, Sobriety + Turning 40. Soak it up ...
