Listen to our latest podcast!
From a young age, Kelly felt like a defender of the marginalized. Events in childhood and adolescence helped to grow her deep empathy, but she admits a desire to repair the world was growing in her from the moment she was born. After running a mental health program for youth and children in El Salvador for several years, Kelly realized two things: one, she was called to find the light in dark spaces...and to help others see it. And two, she needed to establish better boundaries. If she was to do the work she loved at a sustainable pace, she'd have to better understand and protect her own capacity. Her body was demanding it.
Today, Kelly is a trauma-informed coach and healing practitioner who supports changemakers as they journey into healing, resilience, and sustainable life rhythms. This episode is for healers, leaders, caregivers, and for those who seek justice on behalf of others. If you've experienced burnout or compassion fatigue, and you've learned the delicate balance of defending others and protecting self, you're going to want to listen in. Kelly's story will help you remember why you chose the work you do in the first place.

Collaborating with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, TFC launches the “Creating Communities of Belonging” project to support faith communities in building safe spaces and relationships where people experience being connected before being corrected, share struggles in the context of compassionate relationships, and raise hope and resilience for the future journey together.
