Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we dive into rising from the ashes of trauma to become a new version of you.
Kelsey Elizabeth Matthews is a 25-year-old first-generation college graduate, published author, advocate, coach, trainer, vocalist, TEDx & public speaker, entrepreneur, ordained chaplain, Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Member, and four-time pageant titleholder across Connecticut and Nevada.
Born just three pounds and addicted to drugs, Kelsey was raised in East Haven, Connecticut. She moved to Las Vegas by herself at 18 years old to establish Nevada residency and put herself through college. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Social Work degree from her dream school, the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Class of 2023.
Professionally, she worked as a rehabilitative mental health provider before going on to work in the non-profit sector, specializing in community engagement and program management. Her areas of focus have included mental health, suicide prevention, and substance abuse, advocating passionately to bring awareness to the drug and opioid crisis that took her mother's life in 2016.
Kelsey has a heart for survivors of emotional and verbal abuse, especially at institutional levels. After being raised in a psychological war zone due to familial narcissistic abuse, she went on to experience similar cycles of abuse at the hands of professionals and institutions three separate times in her adulthood.
Kelsey now is the Founder and CEO of Phoenix Rising Coaching and Consulting, LLC. The mission of Phoenix Rising is to empower and equip individuals, leaders, and organizations to discover their power, maximize their growth, and reach their full potential.
