In 2017, Kelsey was a burnt-out tech consultant who worried that God's only calling for her was to "stay, pray, and pay" for the missionaries doing the “real work” of God overseas. As her health continued to deteriorate in a high-stress job that was not aligned with her natural giftings, desperation caused her to seek the Bible for answers and pray the, "God, I'll do anything" prayer that changed her life.

That was 6 years ago. In that time, she left her job and started work as a career coach, specialized in helping Christians discern their calling and practically land a job that's aligned with it, so they can serve with their unique giftings for the glory of God and the good of others.
