“This is the first time in my life that I’m OK being alone. I’m so expectant for whatever comes next - it doesn’t mean there won’t be more sorrow, but I know there is a hell of a lot of joy.”
We meet Kelli in a reflective and honest conversation the year after, what she calls, the evolution of her 20+ year marriage to the father of her three children. The past two decades were spent building a family and a career; and now in her forties, she is on her own for the first time, honoring the duality of waking up in her bed alone - honoring the thrill and fear of knowing, “that your whole life is out there.”
She compares the past few years as a dark night of the soul, and in only a way that this brilliant, soulful woman can, puts words and perspective to what is arguably one of the most complex decisions we can face - the decision to evolve our family and end our marriage.
Kelli's magic is in her ability to process her own experiences, and also walk through women at all stages of life through her work with Balance Tribe (women's circles & retreats), and her nonprofit Root to Rise for young women 18-25. Both of which are on our short list of fave organizations out there.
Alright, go hit play to hear about the power of an expectant spirit, and what’s next for this FIA women redefining ‘it all’ real-time.
