Hi, I’m Chelsea — professional dot-connector, part-time dream chaser, full-time snack enthusiast, and occasional chaos coordinator.

By day, I wrangle timelines and to-do lists like a pro. By night (and honestly, most weekends), I’m designing, writing, building our next home, or trying to tire out our cattle dog like it’s my side hustle.

This website is my digital living room — comfy pants encouraged, perfection absolutely not required. It’s where I share the behind-the-scenes of building a life that’s equal parts organized and “what in the world am I doing?”

Come for the creativity, stay for the slightly unhinged honesty.

Anatomy of a Breakthrough by Adam Alter

Getting stuck isn’t a sign you’re failing—it’s a sign you’re in the middle of the work that matters. Anatomy of a Breakthrough reminded me that friction is data, not defeat, and that the messy middle is where progress actually takes shape. Whether I’m untangling an AI project at work or navigating a personal goal, I’ve learned to pause, name the stuckness, and take the next small step forward.

2024 Christmas Movie Watchlist

I’m the girl that puts Christmas decorations up in my house on the first weekend in November. One month of enjoying the happiness that Christmas brings is not nearly enough in my world.

And I’m not unknown to randomly listen to Christmas music or watch Christmas movies on a random Tuesday in April.

This year I thought it would be fun to share my Christmas movie watchlist! It’s one movie a day starting on November 1st until Christmas. Plus one extra as a bonus. Because some days I watch more than what’s on my watchlist for that day. 😉

Mindset by Carol Dweck

I recently revisited one of my favorite books, “Mindset” by Carol Dweck, and I’m reminded just how powerful and transformative these insights can be. Whether you’re new to Dweck’s work or could use a refresher, I’m excited to share some key takeaways and how they continue to shape my life.
