Ep 31. Radical Authenticity, Intimacy and the Courage to Be Seen with Kelsey Kitsch
What if your next chapter isn’t about achieving more, but feeling more?
In this raw and refreshingly honest conversation, Kelsey Kitsch, entrepreneur, author of Success Hangover, and champion of radical self-expression, opens up about what happens when the life you built no longer fits. After chasing success and doing all the “right” things, Kelsey hit a turning point: What if there’s more to life than checking boxes?
We talk about intimacy, desire, and why being truly seen, by yourself and others, can be the most healing experience of all. From building multimillion-dollar companies to diving into psychedelics and pleasure work, Kelsey shares what it means to live with radical authenticity, especially in midlife.
This episode is full of truth bombs, laughter, and powerful takeaways about reinvention, identity, and the messy beauty of being fully alive.
