Chelsea Lea
Hey there, welcome to this space.
I’m Chelsea, a qualified counsellor and mother to two little girls, Frances and Marcy and our baby boy Joey. There is a lot more to me than these two labels, but they’re two important ones worth sharing. I am here for you, but its important for you to know where I have come from and why I am here. I began my own Personal Development journey in 2014, after graduating and still feeling like there was “more”. I yearned to be the counsellor for others that I always needed, so I began searching for answers and ways to help myself so I could in turn help others.
I remember a really low point, crying and screaming on the toilet floor, angry at everyone around me and so discontent with the world. I remember feeling like no one knew what was really going on for me, like I was holding a big secret that was always about to explode (usually in bursts of anger and under the consumption of alcohol)- my pain escaping. Partying was my only release and void, which always backfired, hurting everyone around me, including myself. A big hole, that I dug each time, with less people and less sympathy as it got deeper. I was so far removed from who I was that I didn’t know how to live anymore, let alone which path to take next, or that there even was a path waiting.
I know how it feels to be stuck and disconnected from yourself and everyone around you and feel like there is no hope, like no one understands and that you are alone. I was there. I was being run by my mind, choosing to be a victim of my story instead of a master of my ship. Through Mentoring, self awareness and the right tools and resources to move me forward, I now create the life I want to live. I am not perfect, that’s not what we’re aiming for. I don’t have it all together, and you don’t have to either. This is what I want for you: to consciously choose your life moment to moment and be able to bounce back when you go off track. I want you to start to feel better, to understand yourself and love who you are. I want you to find the “more” that I was looking for, that I found.
Let’s start where you are now and go from there.
