In this episode, Kelsey chats with Kristina Bartold, an expert in building community and relationship capital.

Kristina is the Co-founder of @thesocialsnippet & @highvibe.women as well as a social media expert, and podcast production + events maven.

We dive deep into the strategies and importance of community building, networking, and the reality of growing a business, especially when navigating the highs and lows.

Kristina shares her journey of how she got into launching a social media agency, lessons learned from both successes and challenges of having over 80 clients (wow!!!), and why they started the High Vibe Women brand and event for Women Entrepreneurs in Canada.

Plus, she gives us an inside look at her favorite podcasts, how she’s borrowing belief from other entrepreneurs, and the crucial role relationships play in business success.

Key Takeaways:

• The power of community and how to engage effectively.

• Building relationships and network capital for business growth.

• The importance of finding a community that will uplift you and help you thrive in your journey.

In this episode, Kelsey is sharing four of the biggest business lessons she’s learned over the past 7+ years of running her personal brand and consulting agency. These aren’t just strategies, they’re mindset shifts that have shaped how she navigates both work and life.

From staying consistent without burning out, to making space for personal wins (not just business ones), she’s pulling back the curtain on what’s really helped her stay grounded and inspired, even when things get hard.

She also chats about the magic of showing up as your full, authentic self and how leaning into an abundance mindset can open way more doors than you'd expect.

She also chats about:

• Why your podcast doesn’t have to be polished to be powerful
• How letting your audience into your world creates unshakable trust
• The secret sauce behind why people actually hire you (hint: it’s not just your credentials)
• The power of genuine referrals and how to start making them more intentionally
• A simple abundance mindset shift that changes how you show up for your community

Resources from the episode:

• Deepak Chopra’s 21 Day Abundance Challenge
• Bob Proctor’s meditation

• Why getting out of your comfort zone is where the magic happens
• The real power of knowing your numbers (don’t skip this!)
• How Ola shifted her mindset from employee to business builder
• What it takes to reverse-engineer your six or seven-figure dream
• And how showing up for community can change your whole trajectory

When Nate dreamed up Flow State Bike Co, it was never just about bikes. It was about belonging.

He saw this gap in the local bike scene, no real hub for mountain bikers and gravel rides, to go meet, grab a coffee, talk trail conditions, and feel like they belonged.

But making the LEAP from idea to reality? That’s often the hardest part.

Nate spent over a year crafting a 90-page business plan. Not because he has to but because he needed to be fully aligned with his vision. That document became his compass.

And then… when he opened the doors. Not knowing who would show up… the COMMUNITY came in full force. They were ready. Not just for a shop. For this shop. His vision.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why your vision isn’t “too specific”
• How slowing down to reconnect with your “why” can give you the clarity you need to move forward
• What happens when you build something rooted in real purpose, people feel it, and they will show up.

If you’re ready to get your idea off the ground and actually make it happen, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to another episode of the Visionary Life Podcast.

Today we're talking about Social Media Content Creation... and more specfically, what to do when you get into one of those pesky content creation ruts.

You know, those times when inspiration seems to have packed its bags and left town?

Yep, I've been there too!

In this episode, I’m diving into my own experiences of shaking off the cobwebs and finding that creative spark again.

I’ve discovered this cool little routine I like to call the R.U.T. method – Repeat, Uplift, Teach. It’s been a lifesaver for me in getting back on track with my social media content.

Plus, I’m sharing some thoughts on using AI tools like ChatGPT.

Let’s get into it!

Welcome back to another episode of Visionary Life!

It’s just me today, your host, and I’m sitting down to reflect on the wrap-up of Q1 and all the exciting opportunities (& challenges!) that come with a fresh season.

Honestly, the rhythm of entrepreneurship is such a ride, and I want to share how I’ve been balancing high-energy days with quieter moments for creativity and reflection.

I’ll walk you through some personal highlights and the challenges I faced over the last few months, like navigating a jam-packed schedule with limited childcare, tracking key business metrics (yes, I’m obsessed!), and leaning into the energy that a new season brings!

We’ll also chat about why goal setting feels so aligned during Q2 and the difference between building a business from passion, past profession versus solving a problem.

I also open up about learning to stay flexible and keeping the energy light hearted in the home & in general... to make both life and business flow easier.

Hit play, and let's dig in!

This week, we have an extraordinary conversation with Julie Cole, the co-founder of Mabel's Labels.

Not familiar with Mabel's Labels? Mabel's Labels story begins in 2003 when four busy moms noticed a huge gap in the market for durable kids' labels.They are the original waterproof name label for kids.

Julie shares her incredible journey from starting a basement business to creating an international marketplace leader, all while being a mom of 6.

We dig into:

• Balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood,
• How Mabel's Labels grew to massive success (which marketing strategies they used) and how that has evolved over the past decade
• The importance of personal branding,
• Knowing When to Abandon a Business Idea
• How to navigate challenges like self-doubt and imposter syndrome as you grow
• Business and life hacks for 'doing it all' (one of which is to do a Time Study to see where you can find more time in your day)
• The (sometimes) Unromantic Reality of Entrepreneurship (like needing to stay up to date on the ever changing landscape... like AI!)
• And more!

With her infectious energy and wealth of experience, Julie's story will motivate you to embrace the chaos and the beauty of entrepreneurship.

Plus, if you've ever felt the push and pull of raising a family while growing a business, Julie is here to tell you how it's done!

In this special roundtable discussion, Kelsey brings together 3 incredible clients and Mastermind members—April Miranda, Angela Lopes, and Heather Haigh—to explore the intricacies of entrepreneurship, from the initial spark of inspiration to the challenges of balancing the many hats we all wear.

We dig into candid reflections on the importance of self-care, the power of community, and how to navigate both the highs and lows of running a business.

Episode Highlights:

Finding Work-Life Harmony:

Our guests, April Miranda, Angela Lopes, and Heather Haigh, shared their personal stories about balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with personal life. Heather Haigh's reframe from "work-life balance" to "work-life harmony" offers a fresh perspective on managing our time and energy.

Embracing the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster:

April Miranda talks about the identity shifts and challenges she faced, especially navigating her business alongside motherhood. Her journey from yoga teacher to Reiki practitioner highlights the importance of staying true to your evolving passions.

Overcoming Social Media Comparison:

The roundtable addressed the all-too-common trap of social media comparison. Our discussion emphasized the importance of creating rather than consuming, setting boundaries, and being authentic online.

Staying True to Your Unique Path:

Heather Haigh reminds us that not every business journey needs to be the same. The value of saying "yes" to a variety of opportunities when starting out is emphasized, allowing for discovery and organic growth.
